ok guys i've been out so long, as i couldn't find a dead mainboard to try that on it i need someone of you who can complete this research with me on msn messenger before posting everything online

i prefere you do it after we prepare a step by step walkthrough.

please those who want to try it with me send me a private message

god bless you

The resistors are in the lpt backshell, pins 2,3,4 and 13 are 100 ohm and pins 20 and 25 are grounds. I have leads soldered to the 10 contacts on the phone pad.

Now I just have to locate some pins to crimp on the leads so I can connect to the header of the lpt cable.

So u may join ralphh in msn massenger to complete the remaining specially software , do u know appropiate software for flashing DOC ? There is 1 named VTI-HOST which is compatible with omap850 processers , but didnot find it , if u get it u may post the link in forum

LMD
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Gazoo22:
Ya I hope to try some software soon, I still have to install the pins before I can read anything but that is the first thing to try I guess, I thought jtag tools would do the job, not sure what to use tho.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lmd0990:
please contact with ralphh to prepare software , what about VTI-HOST can u get it?

I pm'ed Ralphh, not sure what software to write but I seen on a hermes thread that the person used jtag tools to read his bootloader, I also seen on the same thread the contacts for the hermes and it had 5 points for jtag and a ground and a vcc listed, I wonder if we have to power the chip with vcc.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ralphh:
ok guys we still need the VCC and the GND pins.

i located visually the GND can you confirm it as i don't have a wizard board.

i attached 2 pictures, try to test if they are connected together with a tester, uf you get the beep then you can use any the PIN as a GND pin

can you also find the 5V VCC pin?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ersandrej:
yes its GND
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ralphh:
guys i need someone to help me with something, i think we wont need the NTRST neither the VCC, i want someone to try something can anybody help ?

build the following cable and connect to the following Pins, i got a software and i want to test it
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lmd0990:
GUYS please help ralphh to help us , some 1 as ersandrej or other member who have adead wizard please contact ralphh by msn m. to complete everything becz my device i will get it on 12-6-08 now i donot have it , if no 1 do it i will be ready ralphh at that date to complete with u , but ralphh pleassse attach here which software u prepared we all need it i think ersandrej know much more than us in software as he now discussing it in russian forum with experts

prefere not to publish the stuff here before we find the absolute solution, we don't want pple start burning their devices as for now i just want to check if the software is compatible with OMAP.

i'll go step by step with anyone of you

when we find it we'll publish everything in 1 zip file with everything you need.

additional information

Hi,

i agree with ersandrej. The software part maybe the most difficult in this project. lmd0990 informed me about this thread with a private message.

I got no wizard hardware but it's great news, that the testpins are discovered. Congratulations!!

Some of you may read my thread about the universal hardware.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=353072

I think we will never reflash one of these devices because there's no free software tool to rewrite a MDOC-G3 (this is the NAND-Flash of the uni)

The wizard got a TI OMAP and uses a MDOC-G4 flash.

I'm not sure if there's any chance with free available tools and homebrewed adaptors.

At least you may do some further testing of the JTAG interface. You'll need some JTAG software package designed for the TI OMAP series to check the connection to the CPU core.

Maybe you'll find a free debugger, that is capable to talk to the OMAP.

The most difficult part would be to access msystems G4 and/or reflash this device.

It is very similar to the G3 concerning access routines.

Similar to connect to an IDE hardisk and rewrite MBR via JTAG... :D

But anyway, good luck for further investigation!

Best regards,

scholbert

I PM'ed Ralphh but I guess he didn't read it, Ralphh, I have a jtag interface Wiggins type using pins 2,3,4,13 for the interface and 20,25 tied to ground, I have another I can try to mode to the schematic move pin 13 to pin 11 and tie 20 to 25 to ground, I might get that done this afternoon or I will have to do it tonight when the kids are asleep. I think we have to provide vcc somehow from what I have been reading.

RALPHH Private message me your email if you will.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ersandrej:
I think Vcc dont need
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] scholbert:
VCC or not?

Hi again,

if you use a passive adaptor (only LPT-connector and resistors), you won't need VCC. But be careful not every CPU can handle the higher voltage level from LPT port.

Normally mobile devices use ~3V for the I/O (JTAG included).

Often it is much safer to use an active LPT adaptor that uses a buffer for levelshifting the JTAG signals from LPT level to the right voltage.

If you use such a buffered adaptor you'll need target voltage (VCC).

Ralphh left me his info, so now it is just a matter of time for me to mod my jtag, then I will try the software, I should be able to do this hopefully in a couple of hours. I am in Toronto Canada and it is 11:30 here when I posted this. time amy be an issue with world times and finding a couple of hours to just do uninterrupted testing, that may be tonight for me.

I have a problem as far as after flash testing, my battery is dead and I don't have a way to charge it, I am hoping a flash will let it charge from total voltage of 2.3 volts, not likely I bet.

ok guys

ok guys, plz download the program from here:

http://www.hjtag.com/download/H-JTAG V0.6.2.zip

and make the following modifications:

After installing the program open H-Jtag

1- go to Settings, Tap Configuration: use image 1

2- go to Settings, Target Manager: use image 2 (New ID Code 0x0692602F - ARM926EJ-S) (Press The + Sign Before Closing!!!)

3- go to Settings, JTAG Settings: use image 3

4- go to Settings, Target Settings: use image 4

5- go to Operations, Detect Target. (Jtag Must Be Connected!! and you should plug in the charger or the mini USB on the Wizard)

These Settings are for XILINX Cable which Gazoo22 Built Previously

Please Report the result of the 5th step.

Later we will use http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_ROM_Layout to dump the bootloader from a working G3 or G4 Wizard...

1. Install recovery, pick stocklike prerooted Rom and flash it?
