yeh as i said, it doesn't seem to want to accept any commands?

maybe you arnt talking to the phone in the right mode, and hence it wont let you enter commands!

Guest plink212

hmm this is what i thought but what other modes are there?

Normal

Canary pv (the one with the 3 colors)

Canary diag (the one for the hard reset)

I am lucky that I haven't got much hair if I did I wouldn't

Firaas got it - press ? and and it'll give you this list of commands.

Maybe I'll setup something where only this serial cable and the commands can be discussed if it's needed... ?

When at the 3 color Canary screen you plug in the serial cable. Fire up your terminal program and connect to the SPV using 115200, 8N1, Xon/Xoff. That works here.

Hm. It's possible to access the SPV via USB on the canary screen.

Wonder if I can get anywhere...

You thinking of reverse engineering the update code by any chance? :wink: If you could just manage to pull the microsoft USB driver for smartphones out of it and map to a com port that should do the trick.

aha,

problem was that i was inserting the serial cable prior to getting to the bootloader

USE: rbmc [Filename StartAddr Len]

Read back the memory content from the specified address to the host

and save the data to specified file name.

FileName : Full file path for saving data of memory.

StartAddr : Start address of memory.

Len : How many bytes will be read.

could we use this to dump the contents of the eeprom to a file and then read it from there?

cheers but this is still a very small needle in a hex addressed 32mb+prom haystack

Yes, but I know my unlock code, so I know what to look for ;)

Are you sure it's still the same?

It may have reverted to a default code to avoid asking you again upon every startup (after a hard reset) - eg, the phone may have written over your code with "12345678", and the relevant program launching SIMLock.exe may look to see whether or not the code is 12345678...

I can enable and disable my SIM lock using the Bootloader menu, and yes, I definitely know the code ;)

okay still can't work out the path thing but have managed to get it to do a screen dump and then did a capture file in hyperterm.

Just need to know where to look

Any one made any progress?

I tried to do

rbmc dump 2000000 100000

which i think is 32mb from beginning for 1mb

but it is either thinking for 5mins or has hung

plink212: I'm working some together with Firaas on this and our approch is by looking at logs from the boot of the phone.

I think that its good that we work in different directions and give some status here as we might stumble into something the other can use.

We're playing with the ATCMD and trying to analyze the logs from booting. We might have found the AT CMD the controls the Network lock but we have to look more into this to be sure.

If we're right it seems like the booting sets the network lock on and off during different phases of the boot.

We'll keep you posted on the progress....

plink212: Just read this on the XDA Manipulator:

Ctrl-R dumps the 4MB radio ROM to c:RS-x-xx.bin.

(this takes half an hour or so: blame the serial port and the fact that

we need to use AT commands to ask for 4 MB, 64 bytes at a time, in

hex)

If it takes about ½ hour to dump 4MB on the XDA it must take alot more time to dump 32MB on our SPV.

Posted

For spacemonkey or other programmers:

Is it possible to write a program that gives AT commands to the phone ?

Guest plink212

on that note it took about 30 mins to do a 17mb terminal dump but i still can't work out where is dumps this file :[

Still no closer

do you have any at command reference that is applicable ? The only reference i can find on the xda site is about the UREG one?

Tim

So the XDA Manipulator recognises your SPV?

It doesn't mine!
