Kurohyou has done work like what you are attempting, but on his method he usually sacrificed the first board by unsoldering the emmc and the finding what pads were matched with the emmc pins so we could do the sdcard hookup. Hasn't mapped them out on a 7” 2013 or 2013, but he did map them out on a 8.9, so if it is in anyway similar boardwise, the. Take a look at his unbricking thread for 8.9" devices, it might lend some clues to soldering pads, also might short something out faik since it is not the same device.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enwony:
Just for future information, 8.9 topic lies here, but board looks pretty different (KF2 boardtoo).

So, maybe I try to repeat Kurohyou heroic study ;)

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Eh I really don't want to be the one to try to map the pins out. I probably could assuming I have the emmc pin pattern handy and my mom let's me borrow her toaster oven. I have the tools handy but the kindle would be taking a one way trip to permabrick. I doubt I could resolder the emmc, much less test out if I got the pinout correct since I don't have a USB sdcard reader handy or any small gauge wire that below 24 gauge.

MMC pinout

Last weekend I just cheked MMC pinout - it's looks like I can reach data pins without resoldering and guess/check where they go (hope that would be test pins).

Unfortunately, I had no time to deal with it, maybe next weekend.

good deal. hope you can get it. thanks for the hard work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Ah good, saves me from having to map it. xD

It's more that I haven't ever unsoldered a chip like the emmc before so I don't wanna mess something up when someone donates a board to the cause, would be a bit of a waste. Most of the soldering I do deals with normal components and wiring.

new information

Finally, I've got some time to explore this issue.

My first idea was that test pins shown related to sandisk flash.

Datasheet says that DAT0-DAT3 pins located at top-left side of chip and can be reached with small wire.

Unfortunatelly, this idea failed: there is no electrical contact between this test pins and sandisk flash.

So, I remove flash chip with ail soldering station, and track required signals.

Result picture attached (It's part of mainboard under main processor module). It's just test version, I do not check myself.

I do not look for power pin - I need to figure out, witch pin I should look for? External supply required? Should we disable internal supply? I need some investigation about this.

Anyway, there is a little step to win.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
You can always run the tracers on the board. A schematic would help but I don't know if those are available.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enwony:
We have a step on

Which tracers? How it works? I just test interconnections with beeper-ohmmeter, It's easy, robust and simple.

Hi again, guys!

I've double check all wires, find power pins(VCC/VCCQ) and prepare datasheet (attached).

Anybody wants to check/feedback, invited.

VCC pins needs 3.3V, VCCQ needs 3.3V or 1.8V, so it can be tied together.

VSS/VSSQ pins are connected internally (onboard).

I also found all other signals - reset, DAT3..8, etc, if anybody intrested.

Next time I try to resolder my MMC chip (my good soldering flux ended up), and if all goods things come, try connect kindle to SD slot for reading/writing.

Does anyone have this MMC chip dump?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheif_of_smoke:
any updates?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enwony:
current state

No, I moved to new apartements, so haven't much time to go.

Anyway, my MMC chip soldered out, it has 0.1mm BGA pins, I'm not sure I can place it back to motherboard.

I bought good soldering flux & clean landing place, but need good table & ligth to do such operation (looking forward to it), maybe in 2 or 3 weeks.

I've doublecheck pinout, somebody can try to connect this pins to MMC card slot, in same way as in reffered topic.

If I could solder my MMC chip back, I make it himself, but "IF"; in my mind I buried my kindle.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgeascott:
I was thinking this too as I'm also in the same boat. Just bricked the wife's soho :/ Wondering how long I can hide it from her. For a bit, I could get it to connect to the pc, but as soon as it connected, it would disconnect. Now I can't even get that. I made backups but can't even use them and unfortunately, my soldering skills are limited (I managed to make my own fastboot cable, but that's about it).

On a side note, I've gone through several phones and countless ROMs, and this is my first unrecoverable brick. Ugh.

Good luck to you and to others in this situation.

Bad news

Hi guys!

Recently I've resolder my MMC chip back to mainboard, solder MMC SD-mainboard pinout and connect mainboard to my SD card slot.

After connecting to PC, i've got error in dmesg:

[50917.315499] mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising MMC card

Looks like chip not well soldered or wrong pinout.

Next session I plan to reduce MMC bus width to 1 bit and test configuration, even I want to test mmc chip if it broken or overheated by connect em directly to MMC slot. Also, I'm awaiting when my oscilloscope comes to continue checkings.

I have no idea how I can do that.

Brilliant, man! You can use dd command to backup eMMC: sudo dd if=/dev/sdd of=filename-for-full-backup bs=4K

You can send this image to me to do extended analysis.

My eMMC chip surely dies when it soldered back, in month or two I'll got new one.

I would say probably reballing and reflowing failed, extremely difficult to do.

As for the backup file, I have named it KFHDSoho.img, is that right? I can also get the bootloader .bin off the eMMC too so will upload that to dropbox later if I can.

Here again

I tried to upload that mmc dump 8 or 9 times, also I tried to recover partition table and do some research stuff about 30 hours.

Anyway, I initally have SOHO with destroyed flash

flashing rom uploaded above got device into fastboot mode, but flashing is impossible - device identifier is Bowser-Dummy-00

I even try to recreate and flash new version of rom for soho - MLO-prod to xloader, u-boot-prod to bootloader, boot-prod.img to boot, recovery-prod.img to recovery partition. Anyway, it got fastboot/bowser-dummy-00 unflashable state.

If I got right,

1) cpu boots xloader first (look like first it check signature of xloader)

2) xloader work is just check CertISW sign of bootloader and load it

3) bootloader is capable of showing fastboot screen and load boot/recovery signed partitions

4) boot/recovery partitions contains kernels for boot and recovery

Also, I don't know purpose of idme, crypto, misc, efs partitions.

Maybe someone can dump whole/by-partition emmc for 16GB version of SOHO?

Go to IE: Internet Options->Connections->LAN settings. Check "Use a proxy server for your LAN". Under "Advanced", for the "HTTP" and "Secure" text boxes, type in "127.0.0.1" for the address and "8888" for the port. Under "exceptions", type in: "<-loopback>".

Remember to switch off the proxy once you have completed the windows update.

The other option is to use a utility called WSUS

Everyone here is from different countries so we can't always make sense of network or company names.

Anyway, the ability to create an ad hoc network depends on your network card, there is no way to enable it if the driver our chipset doesn't support it.

Two options,

Either reverse tether using a usb cable. You need a special app and root to do this and you will have to always be plugged in.

Second option, buy a new network adaptor that supports ad hoc. You can also use an Ethernet bridge/router if your laptop has Ethernet.
