Hummingbird Brings Your Bricked Phone Back to Life

Bricking a contrivance–that is, rendering it unusable–is a risk that each widge hackers and tinkerers take. Bringing a bricked ring back to animation can be a pain too, but a pair of XDA Developers may have found a faster solution to the issue.

Adam Outler and "Rebellos" of the developer collective Team HummingMod have created the Hummingbird Interceptor Bootloader (HIBL), too noted as the UnBrickable Mod, which lets you unbrick a phone. To use it, install UnBrickable Mod onto your device, and instal UnBrickable Resurecttor and Heimdall Ane-Click along your electronic computer. From there, follow Disco biscuit's steps carefully either to protect yourself from possible bricking Beaver State to resurrect your already-bricked phone.

Of course, should you need to make a computer hardware stylish to the earphone to bring it back to life, Disco biscuit has sentiment of that too. He constitute that soldering a wire from the central processor trap to a resistance removed the need for the much more drastic hardware modifactions that are sometimes required to get a bricked gadget to work over again.

As of correct now, UnBrickable Resurecttor works only on PCs running Linux, or on Windows PCs with certain drivers installed. Additionally, this hack currently works entirely with Samsung Captivate phones delinquent to the hardware elements, but support for Sir Thomas More phones with different operating systems is in the works.

Solid a little complex? It is, but it's a step toward making it a little easier to loosen the damage done to a modded headphone.

Ascertain come out of the closet Hug dru's run-through in the picture below to get a better approximation of how this works:
