43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	5 phone is very much akin to xenotransplantation: Mot C1xx hardware is an alien
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	6 to our FreeCalypso family (our native hw targets are those made by TI, Openmoko
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	7 and us, not Motorola or Compal), and our non-Compal-based, non-Mot-based
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	8 FreeCalypso fw is equally alien to the C1xx phones. The xenotransplantation
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	9 procedure of converting a C1xx phone to FreeCalypso is highly unnatural, and
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	10 involves a large number of cumbersome manual steps - you've been warned.

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	15 Firmware flashing on Mot C1xx phones is accomplished through the headset jack
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	16 via a special cable. There is no need to disassemble the phone in any way or
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	17 to do any soldering or other hardware surgery, but you will need a host system
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	18 to run the multitude of special software tools that are involved in the

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	32 ===============================
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	33
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	34 Before you begin the actual conversion of your C1xx phone to FreeCalypso, you
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	35 will need to gather the following pieces of information:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	36
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	37 * The phone's IMEI - we don't know how to extract it out of Mot/Compal's non-TI
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	38 flash data structures, so you will have to reset it manually after the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	39 firmware change. Of course you can set your "new" FreeCalypso IMEI to
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	40 whatever you feel like, but if you wish to keep the original factory-assigned
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	41 one, you will need to note it down manually, either from the sticker inside
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	42 the battery compartment (very hard to read!) or by booting the phone up
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	43 with its original fw prior to the conversion, entering *#06# and reading it
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	44 from the display.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	45
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	46 * Your specific phone's factory RF calibration values: you will need to make a
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	47 dump of your phone's flash memory (also serves as a backup, always a good
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	48 thing to have) with fc-loadtool and extract the numbers of interest with our
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	49 c1xx-calextr utility, which is part of the new FC host tools.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	50
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	51 * You need to know whether your phone has 900+1800 MHz or 850+1900 MHz bands -
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	52 you will need to communicate this information to the new fw after the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	53 conversion. To the best of our knowledge, all C11x/12x and C140 phones have
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	54 900+1800 MHz bands, but C139 phones have been made in both versions. On the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	55 phones that have passed through our hands so far, the first two digits of the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	56 IMEI have been 35 on 900+1800 MHz phones and 01 on 850+1900 MHz ones.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	57
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	58 * For the lower C1xx subfamilies only: you need to know whether your phone has
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	59 2 MiB or 4 MiB flash. To the best of our knowledge, all C139/140 phones have
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	60 4 MiB flash, but C11x have been seen with both 2 MiB and 4 MiB flashes. The
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	61 flash memory size will be autodetected by fc-loadtool as part of making the
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	62 flash dump. C155 and C156 phones have 8 MiB flash.
383 43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	63
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	64 The Mother's method for keeping track of these per-phone bits of information is
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	65 to create a separate directory for each phone with the IMEI as the directory
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	66 name; the flash dump and the RF calibration bits extracted from it will then
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	67 reside in that directory, while the IMEI is in the name of the directory itself.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	68
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	69 Once you have created your per-phone directory and cd'ed into it, you are ready
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	70 to run fc-loadtool to capture the flash dump. The phone needs to be off, but
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	71 the battery needs to be present and have some charge in it; with the phone off,
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	72 connect the serial cable between your host computer and the phone's headset
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	73 jack, and run fc-loadtool as follows:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	74
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	75 C11x/12x: fc-loadtool -h compal /dev/ttyXXX
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	76 C139/140: fc-loadtool -h compal -c 1004 /dev/ttyXXX
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	77 C155/156: fc-loadtool -h c155 /dev/ttyXXX
383 43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	78
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	79 Change /dev/ttyXXX to the serial or USB-serial device corresponding to your
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	80 serial cable. With the serial cable connected, the phone in the powered-off
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	81 state and the fc-loadtool process running and waiting for the phone, press the
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	82 red power button on the phone - a momentary press is sufficient and recommended.
383 43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	83
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	84 Once the phone boots the loadagent code fed to it serially by fc-loadtool and
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	85 you land at the loadtool> prompt, issue the following command:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	86
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	87 flash dump2bin flashdump.bin
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	88
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	89 Given this command, fc-loadtool will autodetect whether your phone has 2 MiB or
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	90 4 MiB flash (for the lower C1xx subfamilies), then make a dump of the complete
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	91 content of this flash memory and save it in a file named flashdump.bin in the
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	92 current directory. When this operation completes, exit the loadtool session
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	93 with the exit command - it will also cleanly power the phone off.
383 43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	94
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	95 The next step is to extract the RF calibration values. Run a command of the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	96 following form:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	97

543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	100 For the lower C1xx subfamilies, change <offset> to 0x1FC000 if your phone has
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	101 2 MiB flash (the size of flashdump.bin is 2097152 bytes) or 0x3FC000 if it has
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	102 4 MiB flash (the size of flashdump.bin is 4194304 bytes). For C155/156 the
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	103 correct offset is 0x7E0000. The stdout scribbles from c1xx-calextr will
383 43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	104 indicate which per-band calibration records it finds (from which you can tell
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	105 if the phone has 900+1800 MHz or 850+1900 MHz bands if you didn't have this
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	106 knowledge already), and a directory named rfbin will be created, containing the

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	112 ==================================================
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	113
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	114 There is only one FC Magnetite firmware configuration for C11x/12x phones, but
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	115 for the better C139/140 phones (or for C155/156) there are several to choose
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	116 from. The following two configs are the currently recommended ones:
383 43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	117
543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	118 hybrid-vpm This config is available for all 3 C1xx subfamilies, although
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	119 the actual fw images are different for each. In this
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	120 configuration the converted phone acts not as an end user phone,
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	121 but as a voice pseudo-modem that needs to be controlled by a
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	122 host computer via a serial cable to do anything interesting.
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	123 See the Voice-pseudo-modem article for more information.

543 4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	125 hybrid-ui-vo This config is available only for the C139/140 target, not for
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	126 the other two. This configuration includes the UI layers, thus
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	127 when a C139/140 phone runs this firmware, it is able to function
4f378f6c5efa doc/C1xx-Howto: C155 support Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 539 diff changeset	128 as an untethered phone without a host computer connection.

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	259 By the conventions established in the FreeCalypso family of projects, all of
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	260 our firmwares for C11x and C139 targets have the following in common:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	261
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	262 * They all stay out of the boot sector and expect to receive control from the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	263 boot code in the same manner (boot entry point at 0x10058, exception vectors
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	264 at 0x10000), thus there is no need to reflash the dangerous boot sector when
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	265 going from one FC firmware to another.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	266
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	267 * They all use the same aftermarket FFS configuration of 3 sectors of 64 KiB
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	268 each (64x3) at 0x3C0000 on 4 MiB flash phones, or at 0x1C0000 on 2 MiB flash
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	269 phones. This FFS location is deliberately different from the one used by
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	270 Mot/Compal's firmwares, eliminating the possibility of one fw trying to use
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	271 the FFS created by the other, and by putting our FFS toward the end of the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	272 flash we maximize the amount of flash space available for our firmware code
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	273 images. But even though we don't share our FFS with Mot/Compal's official
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	274 firmwares, we do share the same FFS between all of FreeCalypso firmware
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	275 projects - thus once you have initialized your FFS (see below) with one FC
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	276 firmware version, it will work with the others as well.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	277
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	278 If you need to reflash your C1xx phone from one FC firmware version to another,
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	279 simply get in with fc-loadtool -h compal (no more need for the inefficient

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	288 Press the red power button on the phone briefly just like you would for
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	289 fc-loadtool entry. Because there is no fc-loadtool running on the host end of
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	290 the serial cable, the boot path will not be diverted in the bootloader, and
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	291 the main fw image will run - and this time it will be the FreeCalypso firmware
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	292 you have compiled and flashed. If the fw you have flashed is the UI demo
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	293 configuration, the phone must have NO SIM in it the first time you boot it.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	294 UI-enabled fw configurations automatically bring up the GSM radio and try to
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	295 connect to the default network on boot if there is a SIM present, and you don't
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	296 want your firmware trying to connect to a real live GSM network when you haven't

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	298 controlled pseudo-modem configurations, then you don't need to worry if the SIM
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	299 is there or not on your first boot - just don't command it to connect to a

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	302 If you have flashed a non-UI firmware version, the phone's LCD will remain dark
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	303 as there is no LCD driver code in this firmware, but you will see trace output

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	403 In the interest of completeness, it needs to be noted that extracting Motorola's

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	405 the only way: the other alternative is to perform a fresh calibration using a

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	407 (fc-rfcal-tools). This approach will yield superior results, but the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	408 requirement of having a CMU200 instrument which is itself properly calibrated
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	409 and a cabling setup with the right adapters whose insertion loss at particular

9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	416 If you have many phones of the same type, it is best to dedicate a particular
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	417 phone to FreeCalypso, as reflashing a phone back and forth is a royal pita.
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	418 However, if you have only one phone, then you don't have much choice except to
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	419 reflash it back and forth between Motorola's official fw and FreeCalypso, thus

9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	425 Whether you are restoring the original fw version your phone came with or
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	426 flashing a different official fw version, you need to ensure that whichever fw
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	427 version you are flashing does not have its bootloader locked out. Examine your
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	428 fw image with a hex dump tool and look at the 4 bytes at location 0x2060. If
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	429 these 4 bytes are all FF, then you have an older fw version with no bootloader
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	430 locking capability - good. If these 4 bytes are 'DD DD DD DD' (0xDDDDDDDD
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	431 32=bit word), then your fw version does have bootloader locking capability, but
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	432 the lock is not activated. In this case you can still flash it, but you must
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	433 make sure that this 32-bit word at 0x2060 always remains equal to 0xDDDDDDDD,
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	434 otherwise your phone will be bricked. And finally if the 4 bytes at 0x2060 are
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	435 all zeros, then the bootloader lock is activated - DO NOT flash an image in
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	436 this state (you will brick your phone if you do), instead you need to patch
9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	437 these 4 bytes to 0xDDDDDDDD with a hex editor and then flash the resulting

9327935d8549 doc/C1xx-Howto: various updates Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 543 diff changeset	440 Once you have verified that your to-be-flashed fw image is safe, you can flash
