Ufs3: Sarasoft Setup
To set up the UFS-3 SarasSoft (often used with an HWK - Hardware Key), you must install both the physical drivers for the box and the specific "Suite" or "Panel" software required for mobile servicing. Prerequisites
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- "Box not found": This usually means the drivers didn't install correctly. Re-do the driver installation steps. Try a different USB port (USB 2.0 is often more stable than USB 3.0 for these tools).
- Code 10 Error: This indicates the device cannot start. Try uninstalling the device in Device Manager and scanning for hardware changes.
Install Samsung USB Drivers:
- Qualcomm device shows as
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
- MTK device shows as
MediaTek USB Port VCOM.
- sudo ufs3-check /dev/loop0
- sudo ufs3-repair /dev/loop0 (if needed)
- Load a test firmware file: Go to the Samsung tab or eMMC tab, depending on your target.
- Select a simple task: Try “Read PIT” or “Reset FRP.”
- Connect a device: Put your Samsung phone into Download Mode (Power + Volume Down + Home, then Volume Up to confirm). Connect it to the UFS3 box via the appropriate adapter (e.g., microUSB or USB-C to UART).
- Execute: Click “Start” or “Run.”
- Expected outcome: The software should display a log of commands, and the device should react (e.g., reset).
