JTAG Serial

Hi,

Anybody know a way to do flashing with JTAG, only with a serial (COM) port?

Is the LPT port a _must_? I only have a serial port in my laptop :)

EDIT:

I finally found a way to create a good connector and flashed my 6815 back... The JTAG method works on HP iPAQ rw6815 :)

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] slackerz_86:
found a way!!!

guys, remember my post? i said my rw6828 cant be on. not even to boot loader?? well, i read the solution somewhere and it works...

but first, u must check this:

y isn't ur device on? did u flashed it n u couldnt wait long enough n u pull the cable or mini sd out, n u try to take out battery and put it in n on the device but it didn't on at all?

well, if that's the case, u're safe... because, wen that situation happens, it is only flashing ur rom. not ur bootloader. ur bootloader is STILL THERE. i seriously thought mine was gone. and hell no im not gonna sell my 'bricked' rw6828 titanium for only S$30.

like i said, ur bootloader is still there. charge ur battery.... if u think it's quite ok for a flash, try this solution. put the rom in ur mini sd and insert to the device. take out ur battery. then press both left and right " - " together, then reinsert battery. wait for abt 5 to 15 secs. it will go back to bootloader, and will start flashing the rom.

u have to be patient when u wait for that few seconds. cause mine was like 20seconds then it was back to bootloader. try it. u might be lucky to get ur device running agn. no worries, cause as for me, i purposely brick my rw6828 agn a few times to see whether this solution really works. well it does. just as long ur bootloader is untouched.

good luck guys!!

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] ketandp:
Hello Slackerz,

It seems, I have the similar situaton where I did not know that my SD is in the device with some NB0 file and as soon as I switched to the bootloader mode it started downloading the image from SD card, I immediately removed SD card because I wanted to get the flash over USB and I remember, I could never srart my O2 Atom after that reset I did at that time.

Do you think my bootloader is good in this situation and I can bring back my device with the similar steps that you performed?

In that case, I have got O2 Atom, what are the two switches in my Atom, I will have to use while inserting the charged battery? is it going to left and right dial pad key???

Thanks.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] slackerz_86:
hmmm...

hi ketandp,

the nbo file inside ur atom is bootloader or image file? if bootloader, i cant help much. but if image, bootloader should be safe. but prepare the image file in ur minisd first before doing this. for atom i am not quite sure of the 'enter bootloader' buttons. but try taking out ur battery 1st. this part is abit tricky. press and hold the camera button, then putting in battery while still press and hold. like i said, patience is a must. but if within 40 seconds it doesnt goes to bootloader, repeat the steps with additional of reset. press and hold the camera, get the stylus and press the reset button, and ask sumone to put in the battery for u. i hope it works. make sure u try and charge ur battery 1st. update me on it.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] ketandp:
The one in the SD card was just the image file copy, it was not the bootloader. I removed SD when it was being downloaded I guess.

I tried what you are saying last night. I have a feeling if it has something to do with the battery power. I had issues where battery getting drained in less than 24 hours with this Atom.

When I insert the battery, even now, the amber LED and the call + reject buttone LEDs blinks once. Also, if I put it to the charge, the amber LED shows that battery being charged but it goes off after say 10-15 minutes time, if I remove the charge and insert immediately, it glows again.

Yesterday, I tried the Jflash again and found that while its trying to read the device ID / version it looks like phone is responding - call + reject button LED blinks with the vibration before it reaches the stage where it prompts for erasing block at address 0. but then it says "Erasing block at address 0 error, block erase timed out" So, I'm not sure if I need to go to the source file for this jflash and increase the timeout value and rebuild the source as I could not see any INI file with which I can achieve this..

I shall keep charging my batter again today and let you know if I have any luck on the steps you have given me.

thanks.

The battery and charging thing is all working fine... after my battery is charged the red led become green and when i put in the USB and pull out the battery the led is blinking.

H, guys,

slackerz_86 has right.

It is working. (At least by my rw6815)

Hello all,

Can someone please help me with jtag as this is the only way for me to fix the boot loader.

There is a connection inside jtag being 'ntrst' It is not clear where this connects to if it does at all. It seems to me that it doesn't connect to anything.

Please can you let me know as i miss my ppc very much !!

Also i have tried it with the flashmm, it all seemed to work in xp pro. I did the first command and it asked me next question, i think it was image file name. What i presume is EBO etc..., but that was wrong and haven't got past the 2nd question.

Please could someone with good knowledge lend me a hand and tell me what to put in in what order, if i get it fixed, i will send a pc game to you, a fully legit copy with manual etc and key. I have turok the newest one going for a prize. It's fun online muliplayer.

My Atom has - I tried to upgrade my Atom XDA ROM using a Vista PC; this caused the boot sequence to fail; it shows the 'bubbles' page, then the plain WM page, then it offers 'Tap the screen to set up Windows ...'. when I do that, it opens the Screen Align process which scrolls eternally. However, using Explorer I can read the memory and SD mini card contents, so I suspect the innards are not totally beyond resurrection.

Two days ago I successfully (at least according to the software on the PC running XP) updated the ROM to the latest from myxda.com, but, although hard boots result in 'reverting to factory settings', the boot problem persists.

I read the procedure above about wiring etc, but that level of technical process is beyond me (could be the language as well!). Can anybody please help me? Bag of lollies promised to the provider of the best solution ...

My O2 got bootloader corrupted & I updated my rom using original O2 ROM on official site & it working fine.

But I faced one more problem which I want to share

I pressed power+camera+reset button but My O2 atom didn’t started

So just removed the battery & pressed power + camera button & reinserted the battery & hold the buttons for some seconds it worked fine

Bootloader appeared after some (20) seconds

display shows "downloading ..."

Then I inserted the usb connected to desktop pc (with win-XP Sp2) & started device updater utility (original O2 ROM C:\windows\temp) it started downloading & after all done it is working fine

Does anyone who knows how this works still look at this thread? I got excited to see a thread about dead bootloaders but after reading through the whole thread I don’t know if this is what I need to do but I’ve also noticed a lack of answers to other peoples questions.

My problem is this: the ipaq rw6828 works, I have a 6.5 rom on there and I get calls and all that but I wanted to swap it out for a different version with newer features. Every time I set the phone in Bootloader mode it does not load the rom. I’ve tried the SD card way, I’ve tried the HP official rom to load it back (USB connection) but it won’t recognise my device and the same occurs when I use the patched windows bootloader. Does this mean that my Bootloader is dead and I need to create one of these cables and try this method?
