Abstract

Systems, methods and storage devices are configured for facilitating flashing of mobile devices. Some disclosed embodiments include burst flashing mobile devices in such a way as to facilitate a reduction in time required for tethering the mobile devices that are tethered during the flashing session and by transmitting all data required for flashing the device to the volatile memory of the mobile device and de-tethering the mobile device prior to all of the transmitted data being written to the non-volatile memory of the mobile device.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A workbench computing system that implements a method for burst flashing a mobile device from a workbench computing system, workbench computing system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more storage device having stored computer-executable instructions which are executable by the one or more processors for causing the workbench computing system to perform the following:
the workbench computing system identifying a payload to be flashed to a non-volatile memory of a mobile device;
the workbench computing system segmenting the payload into a full set of payload segments for transmission to the mobile device;
the workbench computing system sending the full set of payload segments to the mobile device which is tethered to the workbench computing system, the full set of payload segments being transmitted in one or more payload transmissions, wherein the full set of payload segments is initially written to volatile memory of the device, prior to being written to the non-volatile memory of the mobile device;
the workbench computing system obtaining confirmation that the full set of payload segments has been received by the mobile device, while at least some portion of the full set of payload segments still remains within the volatile memory of the mobile device, and prior to the full set of payload segments being written to the non-volatile memory of the mobile device.
