29.02.2012 Samsung Wave 3 GT-S8600 Unbrick – Boot repair supported, World First ! ! !

Resurrecting Samsung S8600 is easy. Phone is auto powered on with USB Data Cable connected to the PC while battery is connected.
Please note, MSM8255T is dual core chipset – it has ARM11 and Qualcomm
Scorpion cores. During power on sequence only ARM11 core is visible on
the JTAG chain. If boots are not completely damaged and it comes up to
initializing of the Scorpion core then Scorpion core appears on the JTAG
chain too. This will shift ARM11 from TAP0 into TAP1 position on the
chain, while current resurrector has the ARM11 core hardcoded at TAP0
position. Thus make sure to establish JTAG connection in the time range
while Scorpion core is not visible yet.

To resurrect Samsung S8600:

• Solder JTAG cable to Samsung S8600 JTAG pads;
  
• Make sure Samsung S8600 is selected in the list of models;
  
• Insert battery and connect USB Data cable;
  
• If you use only battery, press Power On key;
  
• Click Resurrect button;
  
• Wait till software signals a successful operation completion;
  
• Disconnect power supply, de-solder JTAG wires;
  

Now phone is in bootable condition, that is, even if it does not
start up normally you can flash it using known flashing methods.
