0. General introduction

A Telephone is a telecommunication system for transmitting speech or other sounds between

two distant points.

Mobile telephony is based on radiotelephony, i.e. the transmission of voice using radio
waves between a base station that can cover an area of several tens of kilometers in radius and
the user's mobile phone.

The first mobile systems operated in analog mode. The terminals were large, only usable
in automobiles where they occupied part of the trunk and took advantage of the vehicle's power
supply.

Today's mobile systems operate in digital mode : voice is sampled, digitized and
transmitted as bits, then synthesized upon reception. Advances in microelectronics have made it
possible to reduce the size of mobile phones to a pocket size.

The advantages of digital systems are:

• The fall in the price of terminals,

• More services,
• The increase in the number of subscribers
• Finally a better quality of voice reception.

Our goal: is to share knowledge on mobile phone repair but we will focus on the different
models of LUMITEL phones.

Chapter I: MAIN PARTS OF A MOBILE TELEPHONE.

A Phone is essentially made up of the following elements:

➢ Screen: allowing the display of information (Message, Video, Image)

➢ Transmitter: to send the sound
➢ Receiver: allowing the reception of information
➢ Keyboard: used to write the information

Schematically:
Receiver

Chapter II. REPAIR EQUIPMENT

II.1. Presentation of repair equipment
II.1.1. Air chaud
a) Plan

Its role : It can be used to heat circuits in order to weld or desolder them.
It also has a soldering iron.
The degree of temperature and air velocity
BGA: temperature 300 deg air speed 5 and duration50 seconds with the paw
CLASSIC: temperature 350deg air speed 6 and duration 60 seconds with the paw
THE CONNECTORS: to remove the connector for example: charging connector the temperature
400 deg up to 480 and the air 6 and use tape to protect the compounds
N.B:
➢ Always be perpendicular to the components
➢ Crystals300 deg use the paste and tweezer to remove them

II.1.3. Stabilized power supply

a) Plan

Its role is :

1-Test the GSM

2- Charge the battery and test the battery

3-replace the GSM battery in case of unavailable battery

How to use:

pg. 6
 Repair of mobile phones.

-1-to test the GSM it is necessary to set the voltage to 3 .7 v and the amps to 0.6A a 2A
-2-to charge the battery the voltage 4.0 v and the amps to 2 A
-3-if we have a Nokia with a Sim card we plug the red on the plus(+) and the black on the least
(-)and we plug the green on the 2nd mass BSI to power the Sim and test the GSM

Short circuit cases:

-1-if we connect the red wire on the plus (+) of GSM and the black wire on the least (-) of GSM
the lamp signals so we have a circuit course
Solution

Overall conclusion
In these quarter chapters we have seen materially how to detect the failures of the
mobile phone, and repair the latter using different tools that we have seen.
In fact the mobile phone consists of small circuits called micro electronic circuits, for
this, it is not easy to locate the failure
So repairing the mobile phone is not limited to the use of tools but also software and
computers (case of flashing the mobile phone), and this is what we will see in the 2nd part of the
mobile phone repair.

Part II: Software

0. General introduction
In this part, we will see how to flash a mobile phone.
And why do you need to flash a mobile phone?
First of all, before knowing why flash a mobile phone, you must already know what it means to
flash a mobile phone.

So there you have it, flashing a mobile phone is about changing the phone's firmware .
Firmware : Firmware is the operating system of the mobile.
Now, why are we trying to flash a mobile phone, when there is a major risk of damaging the
mobile phone ?
Well flashing a phone with standard firmware brings several advantages:

• The operator logo is removed (so the logo is changed)

• We can customize the phone as much as possible
• Lighten the system and gain stability
• Have updates quickly

Chapter I. MOBILE PHONE FLASHING TOOLS

To flash a mobile phone, you must equip yourself with certain tools, including:
✓ Flashing boxes such as UFS3, VOLCANO Box, Miracle Box... and their own software.
✓ Flashing software like: ODIN, Sp flash tool, MultiPortFlashDownloadProject,
✓ Cable data
✓ A firmware (operating system) specific to the phone you want to flash.
✓ A computer (laptop or desktop)

N.B: Before flashing, you must first:

• Know the CPU (Central Processing Unit) of the phone
• The firmware version contained in the phone
• The version of the firmware that you want to download into the phone.

Chapter II. FLASHING SOFTWARE

For our case, we will rely on flashing software for Lumitel phones.
We currently have some flashing software for some phones existing in showrooms:
❖ Multiport flash download for flasher 6201 and L6202
❖ SP flash tool for Flasher L8501
❖ Odin to flash Samsung Galaxy J5, Samsung galaxy GRAND Prime
❖ SPD upgrade download.

Chapter III: INSTALLATION AND USE OF FLASHING SOFTWARE

A) How to install and use Multiport flash download
Multiport flash download allows us to download the firmware in the L6201 and L6202 phones.
First of all you need to have the flashdownload Multiport setup, a Computer (PC or desktop)
and a Data Cable.

C) How ODIN is installed and used

ODIN is a flashing software designed specifically to flash Android smartphones such as Samsung
Galaxy.

How to flash a ROM on a Samsung Galaxy mobile with Odin?

1. Download and install the Samsung drivers (If the Kies software is already installed on your computer,
logically you do not need to perform this operation). Samsung
Pilots : http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows

2. Download and extract the desired firmware corresponding to the model of your smartphone. You
must have one or more files in .tar format or .tar.md5

3. Restart your phone in Download mode : to do this, turn off your phone and simultaneously hold the
Volume Down buttons - Home button and Power button.

pg. 30
 Repair of mobile phones.

The display on the screen will be as follows:

4. Open the Odin software and verify that only the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time boxes are checked.

pg. 31
 Repair of mobile phones.

5. Upload your file in .tar or .tar.md5 format using the PDA button. If your archive contains 3 files,
named PDA/Code, Phone/Modem, and CSC, select each of the files in .tar format or .tar.md5 in the
corresponding fields.

Caution: Do not check the Re-Partition box and do not add a IT file.

6. Connect your phone with its USB cord. Wait for the device drivers to install. If all fabien, the
ID:COM field will change to blue as shown in the illustration below.

pg. 32
 Repair of mobile phones.

7. Press the Start button to start flashing. If Odin crashes on Setup connection, unplug/reconnect the
USB cable, Odin should resume processing. A progress bar will display the processing progress on the
phone and on Odin. Do not unplug the cable or turn off the phone while the firmware is charging,

The operation will be completed when Odin shows you PASS and when your phone has restarted.

D). How to use and install Spreadtrum upgrade tool

Speadtrum upgrade tool is specially used for flash phones that have spd type processor

1. First you have to download the "drivers"

2. Download the firmware

a. Opens "RESEARCHDOWNLOAD_R2.9.7007" folder "Bin" folder

"ResearchDownload.exe"→→

b. Selectner → aller a folder of SW → selectionner.pac file

N.B: Use your own cable data

i. Do not insert the battery

ii. Connect the USB cable between the computer and the phone

iii. Click on upgrade SW tool

iv. Tighten the battery and start charging

pg. 34

Overall conclusion

We have seen how to install and use some phone flashing software (especially
Lumitel's phones). But in these three softwares, there is the flash SP
tool that can be used to flash other phones but whose processor is of type Mtk.

It is also necessary to be careful when flashing phone because the slightest error can
damage the phone or even its permanent shutdown of operation.
