Boardviews of some phones/tablets

Re: Boardviews of some phones/tablets

Hello,

I have already introduced myself in the appropriate forum section, but since hardly anyone reads that, I don't mind introducing myself again.

I am not a business owner, and I am not a repair professional. I simply want to try my hand at repairing my own smartphone that no longer powers on. I have been learning, practicing, gathering equipment, supplies and information for the past two months. I came to this forum for the boardview files. I might stay for any help and advice I can get.

As I dug my way deeper and deeper into the world of phone repairs, I unintentionally entered the world of microelectronics and the intricate nature of boardviews and schematics. This is what brought me to this site. Would you believe me if I told you that I paid to download the BVR and BVRE files I could have downloaded for free from this site? They are binary identical. If only I knew better. But I don't regret it. I view it all as part of my education plan. You win some, you lose some, and you have to spend some to learn and to make it count.

I have prepared a bit of questionnaire for you guys. Please don't be alarmed and take your time to put your two cents in the knowledge hat. My title says it all: "I'm a: Knowledge Seeker".

1. Who invented the BVR file format?
2. Who invented the BVRE file format?
3. Are these two formats related?
4. What does "BVR" stand for?
5. What does "E" in "BVRE" stand for?
6. Is BVR3 the same format as BVRE?
7. Are any of these formats open file formats and if so, where is the documentation?
8. What is the current (as in 2023 New Year's Eve) support status for BVRE in OpenBoardView (version 8.0)?
9. Is FlexBV the only program that can read BVRE files without errors?

Thanks for taking your time!

Thanks Waltg for the initiative! All of the files you uploaded are in BVRE format, is that right? What program are you using to open them? They don't open in OpenBoardView 8.0.

FlexBV

Is this a FlexBV native file format?

I'm opening them with the newest edition of FlexBV. Works!

Can you open all of the BVRE files? And what version of FlexBV is that?

It seems that FlexBV R1115 ("R" as in release?) added support for BVRE files. So I guess they are not native to FlexBV then. But how come FlexBV can read them while other viewers can't? What does FlexBV have that other viewers don't?

Re: Boardviews of some phones/tablets

Unfortunately the open source boardview program cannot open these files since they are encoded. Too bad, it's a great post with much information.

Re: Boardviews of some phones/tablets

I can't open any of these in open board view.
What am I doing wrong?
