Hello! I have a bricked universal :( and a little experience using jtag (I revived a toshiba e740).

If you think that I may help, please ask me!

The first thing I noticed in my univ is a suspect row of pin just near the sim connector (covered by a chequered tape). These pins are exactly six!

I suspect that those pins are the way the univ is personalised in factory:

TCK, TMS, TRST, TDI, TDO and GND are the labels of jtag connector and are six...

bump! no one got jtag pinout for htc universal?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] roglio:
Still no information about jtag pinout for the htc universal...

Someone could help me?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kiru:
Maybe ask in the Universal section of forums.......because we all here are wizard luvers :p
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] OmegaBlue:
So im guessing the jtag or serial pinouts are not avaiable yet? I want this brick working again :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
So I guess you missed all of the warnings about there being NO 1.x ROMS for G4 devices?

You can try to get a warranty replacement, tell them that you woke-up and it was dead and won't power-up or charge.

If they do replace it, be very grateful and read a lot more of this forum before you brick another device.

Hi all,

I have just flash IPL and SPL 2.08 (from ftp - Wizard/dumpROM) on the G3 Wizard with IPL and SPL 2.17 and it will not turn on afrer reboot after the flash..

So, I can send it to you if you still have an idea, how to flash bootloader back.

Contact me

battery pins

Maybe it’s silly remark/question, but do you people know why there are 6 pins for battery. Seems too much. Is there a chance that those are JTAG pins.

PS. I try to google, but without success.

Hello, I have a bricked wizard, I'm going to try to get another one because of the warranty. If they send me a new one and I can keep this one I could send it or try by myself with my friends. My email is rafase_282@hotmail.com also I can conect it with the USB and install any rom, it is unloocked. However, it dont boot.

Sorry

Sorry guys it's been a while...

i tried everything with no success...

i missed my wizard too much and prefered to pay 130$ for a wizard board, assembled it and got it to work....

i kept it on 1.5 ROM till yesterday :D

didn't want to loose the baby again.

i successfully upgraded my G3 to 3.3 using this tutorial with success...

i like the ROM try it urself!:

________________________________________

downgrade to 1.xx using CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE ROM.=>Result: IPL 1.05, SPL 2.25.

-Copy and run Enaberapi.cab on my device

-Run lokiwiz 02b. Choose CID unlock.(fone restarts onced completed)

-Uprade to 2.26 ROM from Cingular_RUU_Wizard_2.26 =>Result: IPL 2.26, SPL2.26

-Upgrade again to FARIA's AKU 3.2 8MB.Result :IPL 2.26, SPL2.26 OS 3.0.0

Jtag

HI,

i have a working G4, but it might soon become a brick.

Is someone still working on finding out the Jtag pins?

If there is the need of a mainboard, can someone collect the money and buy a broken phone on eBay?.

Is there some software to download the bootloader of a G4 via JTAG? i have some experience using jtag with fpgas, but i dont understand how is it going to be done.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] yazoon:
I bricked mine too.... :(

Hi all,

I beleive you all know the story by now, upgrade and then bricked wizard... then i found this thread and decided to join the efforts, i've loaded a picture of my wizard's motherboard and the JTAG connection on i , now we need to find a cable to fit this thing, (does anyone know how to make one) and of course the software we need to use.....

ooh, just want to thank ralphh for starting this....

goodluck,

Thats the battery connector! I'm sure it's not as simple as that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] d0ug:
Going from the top of the battery, the 1st 2 are Positive, the middle 2 are probably terminals for an internal thermal diode. and the last 2 pins are Negative. 2 pins are probably used for Pos/Neg to allow more current flow from the battery.

I was updating my ROM and the RUU crashed at 96% I did what it told me on my pc's screen (disconnect then reconnect and then reset i think. if its the tricolour, click next else skip. Well I'm stuck on the tricolour screen. Nothing works. Can someone help me please?

Quite desperate as you can guess.

I'm on an I-Mate K-JAM btw :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bwesty:
If you can get to the tri-colour screen (ie bootloader mode) then your device probably isnt bricked. You need to advise us further as to your situation. Perhaps you could hijack another thread and leave this one free for discussion about JTAG revivial. I do apologise if this sounds harsh, that was never my intention.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] John Anderton:

guys, any updates now? I know you guys are talking about Wizard but mine is a G4 Prophet and it bricked too yesterday, so just want to check if someone can help on this.

meanwhile, in case we cannot find the Jtag, does anyone has the experience that their Wizard or Prophet revived after sending for repair? I mean a bricked phone with damaged boot loader can never be repaired or just you guys want to DIY? I just so so want my Prophet back and I am willing to send it to repair if someone can get it fixed
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Wolfdragon:
Here, here I'm interested...

I am still fairly new and i must admit I've gone PPC crazy since finding out i can do almost the same modifications i do on PCs on a regular basis. Till now i haven't bricked a device but you never know and i always like having a way out so any good news on reviving one's device after "death" would be wonerful....so keep posting as i am definately reading:cool:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] nateshuntsvegas:
Ok I have a sort of bricked wizard, its a 8125 and has ipl spl 2.25

I recieved it this way so Im not sure whats went wrong

Ok it wont go past the first boot screen

It shows all info and thats it wont go any further

I have tried reflashing cingulars 2.25, I have flashed Button rom, I have upgraded the radio to 2.61 I have tried hard reset.

Ok my first noticed a issue when I first hard reset

It said that Fat partion / format failed

Ok so now what I can flash a rom but thats about it nothing so far has worked I have read and tried everything I can think of.

Yes battery is good, yes roms are good, will not active sync

Im open to any ideas

Thanx in advanced

hi guys, sorry i was too busy...

regarding the wizard revive project i was checking last entries and seems we're getting closer to the jtag pins...

i'll be preparing the final JTAG model and software to use once the pins are revealed.

btw i changed my wizard's board and sold my wizard. now i have the glofiish x500, with GPS... it's a great but unstable machine :D

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] usernotfound:
If my phone were bricked, I could find points to attach to in about 15 minutes. Take the board and put it in a toaster oven at about 450, pull off the chip, use the above posted ball array pinouts and find other points on the board connected directly to the pins of the chip. With care and a good video pick-and-place, one could even put the chip back :D

So just we need some one do desoldering of CPU in right way
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ashasaur:
I dont want to seem arrogant or anything, but why do you have to de-solder the CPU in order to trace the pinouts? Cant you just follow the board traces from the pins on the CPU? Or am I not understanding what you all want to do?

OH AND, 100th POSTING!!! w00t!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lmd0990:
No we can't do it without desoldering cpu , it is very difficult

becz they are under cpu & we do not know location of them outside the cpu on main board , as we do not have the scheme or detailed map of wizard's main board , that's why we need desoldering cpu , read previous pages for more info.s

First of all thank u very much for that pic.s

and if they are right , then we just find the absolute solution

but can u tell me where u found it , if u did it by urself then tell me how u trace it to main board near the sim ?????
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xardas_90:
so...

so what's left to do if we have these points all figured out?...do we need a special made cable?...lmd help us out....what about that software ralphh?...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lmd0990:
I have some ideas about making a jtag cable , i thing it is not difficult , i was making comparison with FLAME jtag cable i thing it is same , & about software we need bootloader file (as eboot.nbf) extracted from working wizard to flash it with jtag tools & there is app working on windows mobile do extraction named OS Loader.

But we need Ralphh specially in preparing the softwares as he is the expert

LMD
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xardas_90:
so...

so these are the jtag pins?...the ones near the sim conector?...can this be true...all we've been searching was allready under out nose?....all we need is the cable set up and the software?this seems too easy...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lmd0990:
the 1st pic is absolutly true

but the 2nd 1 iam not sure , especially the order of contacts
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xardas_90:
....

but those contacts could bee true right?...and if we try them there would be no extra damage to the mainboard...it's worth a try...and another thing...if we desolder the CPU could we do JTAG through those pins on the board directly and them just solder the CPU back?...assuming that we have proper equipment?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lmd0990:
Where are u RALPHH ???

Ofcourse they could be the right contacts & probably they are.

Soonly i will try to make the appropiate jtag cable

But where is ralphh & these breaking news come?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Gazoo22:
I don't have my board ripped apart, not sure how to take off the metal shields without damaging the board, if someone knows how to take off those plates then I am willing to ring out the points from the first picture to the second picture, it should be easy with a meter if anyone wants to give it a try.

I read something about each phone needs its own bootloader, if that is true then this jtagging would be of no use to someone that bricked there phone already. my guess is a bench tech would have a computer program that might work off of the serial number or ESN or what ever form of identifying the phone. someone would then have to reverse engineer the programming or get ahold of the computer program to program these chips.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ersandrej:
I desoldered CPU from its place, and traced JTAG pins to the pins near sim holder!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xardas_90:
....

so what'ss left to do now is to wait from lmd for that cable advice...maybe you can make us some picturesc with steps on making it....and then ralphh that has to make that program
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ersandrej:

but tell me by mean of what u traced , i mean u used what tools?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xardas_90:
cable

how's that cable coming along lmd?...what about the software...anybody know anything about ralphh?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lmd0990:
Hi

i think the cable is not problem it can be made very easily at home

But what about software for flashing , realy we need ralphh ? do u know his email?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Gazoo22:
WOW, you really ripped that thing apart, better you then me, hehehe, I could get it apart but I really don't think I could line it up and solder it back on, how would you line it up and make sure the pins don't short out when you solder it up again. I would guess you use a heat gun to solder/desolder.

Trace= use a meter to measure resistance between two points and a resistance of less then 1 ohm(allowing for meter resistance) would mean you have a trace or direct connection between those two points.

so the pinouts on the second picture are the correct location for JTagging? that would be great and it makes sense since I doubt a tech would rip apart a MB to trouble shoot it

Question tho, from Jtagging linksys routers I believe I was programming a separate chip(tsop) from the processor, how is it that the Jtag points here go to the processor, is the bootloader part of the CPU?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xardas_90:
nope

but maybe we can ask the admin to cantact him...or someone who knows him presonally or knows his e-mail...i'm affraid he just abandoned us...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lmd0990:

of course

i would do that as soon as i learn russian :))))) better wait for ralphh
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Gazoo22:
well I sort of gave up the Wizard, I didn't want to buy a MB or sell my unit yet, so I waited and there is hope now for the wizard, I only used mine for 3 days before I bricked it but it is a nice unit in your hand. I got a htc touch (cdma) and I like that phone alot but no keyboard. I have 5 htc phones now and all are good products, the oldest, XDA IIi is really good at gps stuff and now I see there iPhone like software for it and from what i read it is better then the iPhone as a couple of people said anyways.

I know very little from the software side, I just flash what is there so to speak, a dead wizard taught me to really understand what you have when you start and that all the flashing is for that specific device, hehehehe.

There is still an issue with phone specific info that might apply even if we are able to flash the chip, any new news on that front.

after jtag contacts revealed , now what ?

what about softwares u mentioned before ?

Ok I prepped for jtag, all I need now is the proper pinouts at the header I soldered to, I can then try jtag tools and see if I get a response, I seen on the first post 2 years ago that the battery leads need to be shorted and the power button pushed, does anyone have info on I should carry out this step and then what pins to short.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lmd0990:
How u prepared it

each contact need connected to a resister (100 ohm) at lpt end like Flame jtag cable
