success debricked 2 mobo's today!

well today is good day, in the past few days been having trouble with the jtag adapter but since now i figured that a good safety tip is to put tape by the pins that can touch the shielding which is ground and will short your jtag :P which i had that happen so now i dont have that issue ever.

i been playing with few mobo's that evt which should be pvt one which i created a thread and nobody replied to yet LOL but it partially worked ill have to give it another try... looks like i was doing something wrong, and had battery issues now i have the charger connected to the battery so its constantly being charged LOL and even used 2ndary bat from diff phone that of course had same voltage but much higher capacity

and apparently i think i fixed a camera button... seems its a wild shot but it could work prob... the camera button has cut out that is imprinted inside if you look on the top.

well i noticed that this on this mobo the camera button had the cut out relatively flat or sticking out more compared to other motherboards camera buttons. So pressed in a bit the side that is to the button on the flap. You will feel the camera button very stiff now, press it a number of times you should get the 2 shot press back and i think for most part it should fix some of the camera button issues ppl have.

anyway i debricked 2 mobo's today thats all i had free time in, the 2nd mobo seems to have failed the check after downloading it to the ram, so had to start over and 2nd time it worked and rest was flawless :)

i dont have scripts but i got the steps in groups and i can easy copy paste and i know they work :)

also im doing this in unbuntu now not in windows and i like it more :) of course esp on this single core 2ghz athlon with 1gb of ram LOL (for any other noob, moserial is good serial gui gives you feedback and u see what you typed)

i wish there was a step for the memory tricks for diff radio's ? say you had a bad flash with a 2.x radio and u know which one... i tried to skip the steps but i couldnt get the hboot to work it seemed like it flashes but the memory locations for the bit unlocking is the key? (im assuming) which would is crucial to launch cego (get it into fastboot)

=== update 9/28/10===

another interesting debrick (almost)

i had a mobo that i thought was dead. What i mean no power when pressing on and no blue light mode... but i was still kept on trying... but nothing would show life... that is until i left it alone and noticed the mobo getting warm! i thought to myself well then... it must be working to some extent probably dead though.

so for just while guess i shove the serial usb... and do ? guess what i get life! so then i thrown on jtag and everything goes smoothly from there on.

one issue im having the mobo flashed everything fine all the way to regular radio and recovery... but im still having issue going into recovery, seems the mobo refuses just stuck at G1, i reflashed the recovery in fastboot, as i can go into hboot just fine

update i went and fastboot radio again, and recovery... after 1 power up or 2 nothing... so i thought, i just left it on, and what seemed like a min or more! it went into recovery! (dont know why but this mobo in particular seems quite slower then others or it could be me :P)

point being dont throw away a mobo even if the blue LED doesnt show... try to put serial cable and see for sure! then if you get echo for the invalid ? try jtag :)
