Somebody with experience in electronics should work on it. That would be cool. And what about the UART method? Is someone working on it still?
[Defy General] lord0815:
No one knows for sure if the OMAP UART is acitvated or used...

But if someone can point out where the resistor is placed on defy board,

i will give it a try with mine. Soldering SMD is not the problem.
[Defy General] swapnil360:

官方rec是被锁定，也就是Factory reset mode在官方rec下无法改变

stock/official recovery is locked, which means Factory Reset Mode cannot be changed on stock recovery

也许Factory reset mode命令可以copy出来在第三方rec下运行，但前提是你要知道正确的效验指令

maybe the order of Factory Reset Mode can be transferred into custom recovery, but you must know the exact verifying order.

那个bin文件可以利用jtag的方法给dump回出来，里面其中一个参数设置就是关闭那该死的加锁芯片

we can use jtag to dump the bin we need on an unlocked defy. there must be a parameter that shows how to unlock the bootloader in the bin.

不知道正确的效验而修改Factory reset mode的后果与现在ep3的机无异，=硬砖

however, it is dangerous to change Factory Reset Mode when the verifying order is unknown. it will lead to a real bricked defy like epsylon3

进入Factory reset mode在linux下可以靠指令进入

we can use some order on linux to enter the Factory Reset Mode

我们需要的是bin里面的参数，那个关闭加锁芯片将机设置为工程模式或无锁模式的参数，而不是bin本身，所以bin不是一定需要，如果你能得到那个参数的话，但目前来讲，那个bin是获取参数的唯一方法！

but we need the parameter in the bin, the parameter that can help us to change our defy into the unlocked defy or engineering defy. actually, we don't need the bin itself and we only need the parameter. but the bin is the only way to acquire the parameter we need so far.

现在他刷的那个sbf，里面是包含mbm，sp等东西，那些我们可以直接用yaffsexplorer备份，所以我一直无视那个sbf。

the sbf is not the key point in unlocking the bootloader

但那个bin是重点，工具不重要！我们需要的不是工具，别在把重点放在工具，想办法拷贝出那个16m的bin就是胜利！

but the bin is the key and we don't even need any tools.

we will finally unlock our defy when we have the 16m bin:D

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

generally speaking,

1. we can enter the Factory Reset Mode on linux by some orders.

2. we only need the right parameter for unlocking.

3. the only way we have now is to dump or acquire the 16m bin and read the parameter from the bin.
[Defy General] rockeroll:
这个usb efuse 是什么？

what about usb efuse?
[Defy General] dlhxr:
maybe it is the way to enter the Factory Reset Mode.

we need to know which parameter to change and what the parameter would be change into.

i dont know how to do this... i'm just a translator
[Defy General] lord0815:
IMHO we can just enter Factory Reset Mode by using a special cable.

If not pls get se LINUX commands and needed tools/binarys used to execute these commands.
[Defy General] sam_24:
Yes, it is possible to get the phone in the "Factory mode" with a modifyed usb-cable.

You need to connect ID to Vcc

i disassembled my defy today, i think i can follow the traces to the headphone jack, but i failed, multilayer pcb made it impossible. i didint desolder the Protechting cases, because i didnt want to risk a broken phone.

Maby somone have a broken phone and will try it.

i added some pics from my defy

sorry, but my english isnt good.
[Defy General] t0desicy:
I connected ID to VCC, but nothing happened... just booted as it would do without cable.

What would have been the expected behaviour? Something similar to bootloader?

Btw, I have a soldering station, a motodefy which I use once every two months on some downhill trips, and too much time the next week or two.

So just tell me what to do :D

Sucessfull UART on OMAP 3630

This guy did some extensive hardware hacking on TI OMAP 3630. His device was ArchOS gen8. He sucessfully used peripheral boot over USB/UART. He was able to debug and detect a connection problem of RAM. He fixed it and revived his phone.

There is lot of info on this thread. Still catching up. Take a look.

flash tool

looks to me like the flash tool we were looking for all this time, but we don't have config file for TI Omap 3630...i'll do some more research on that
[Defy General] ABBolle:
in the tools zip, there is a readme which contains this:

5. Supports the following devices:

AM3505, AM3517

AM3703, AM3715

DM3725, DM3730

OMAP3503, OMAP3515, OMAP3525, OMAP3530

so i guess, it is unfurtunately not what we need...
[Defy General] Kaffeekranz:
It was working for this guy and there are also some 3630 scripts included.
[Defy General] t0desicy:
Okay guys, same here. I talked to TI.

I just called and said "Sup guys, I would like to order an eng. board... the Omap 3630"

Guy: "Just wait a minute, I will take a look if it's aviable"

[..]

Guy: "It's not aviable atm, but we can notify you if you can order it, it will be in near future I guess cause the dev on this board is still active"

Me: "To be serious, I own a device which is built on this board, but the manufactor locked & messed up some **** on it, I would like to hardreset everything, so I can make custom kernels for it etc"

Guy: "I guess you are talking about a Motorola or LG phone"

Me: "Yes"

Guy: "Well, I can't tell you what you exactly need, but I can just give you a link if you give me your E-Mail Adress"

Me: *giving mail*

Guy: "Ok, you got some more Information"

Guy: "This should be everything you and the XDA ppl need."

Me: "Okay, thank you very much"

Guy: "If you have more problems, you can use the e2e board on http://e2e.ti.com/ - it's full of engineers which help each other, most questions will be solved within a few days"

Me: "Thank you, have a nice day"

Guy: "Goodbye"

LOL..awesome...:)
[Defy General] Kaffeekranz:
I've spent pretty much the whole night browsing through TI's forums and webpages and there's plenty useful information there.

I'm no developer, but there's documentation on pretty much everything in their wikis.

/e

Someone wrote on the last page that he already tried to solder an OTG cable, but I'd advice anyone with the technical knowledge to do it again.

Seemed to be the right pinout for the omap specs.
[Defy General] sonyc2011:
http://e2e.ti.com/support/omap/f/849/t/105513.aspx

I am not a dev but this look interesting...

"You should be able to use the AM37xx (Hynix) or AM37xx (Micron) target type with OMAP36xx."
[Defy General] Kaffeekranz:
Though the last mentioned way would require to open up the defy and search for UART connectors, if they're even existent.

Would be a lot nicer, if OTG usb worked and would be accessible.

As far as I understand the whole topic.. I thought I'd mention it again. :o

"can be used to transfer binary images"

Now all we need is a bin file from Motorola.

Not tested, but looks like thing which we look for.
[Defy General] Kaffeekranz:
Installed it looks like this by the way.. (see attached)

You can flash the uboot and xloader.bins from what I've read, though I have no idea if that alone would suffice. Compiling those wouldn't be a big problem, but I don't know what to watch out for.

3. Searching usenet / torrent / leak sites for this OMAP Config tool

If you read the previous threads you will see a post where a guy tried to get UART access via 3.5 mm jack. He was unable to track it because he was afraid of doing physical damage to the phone. You can donate the board to the guy or you can just map the board yourself. Maybe figure out an 'unbrickable mod' for defy. As far as I know UART needs the board only. The applications of a spare board are countless. Please don't give it up.
[Defy General] sam_24:
I'm the guy, im still working on it, if you want to donate the board, i will pay the shipping of course, maybe you can find something by yourself.

does anyone know witch supply chip is build in the defy?

could it be the "TI TPS65950" ?

Is it possible to read it via software ?

every power chip has his own pull-up resitor specifications, the usb mode is defined by the pullups /pulldowns

trying with a variable resistor tommorow. i think the range is between 0 an 200kOhm's

omap3630 (not omap36xx) scematic can be found here: http://goo.gl/wVWmz
[Defy General] royale1223:
Hi, glad to know that you're on it. Did you see the Archos thread? That guy have mapped most of the board (there will be some defy specific changes on it.

BTW what's the status right now? Did you manage to get UART via 3.5? Did you try the id-vcc usb mod? Did you try the TI flash tool? In my opinion it can be used to dump/download and flash/upload board config(may be even the efuse states, can't be too sure at this point though). Maybe we could just get a dump from an ENG defy and flash it on a PROD defy. But the key is getting a working UART.

For the board you should try contacting ahmedelhosney. I wish you all the best and I hope that you'll figure it out.
[Defy General] viper.:
https://focus.ti.com/general/docs/t...tsp?partNumber=TPS65950&typeId=1&startIndex=0 it could be as TWL5030 is tagged there. Ask TI staff they should know whats inside 3630
