Hi All, I just Received A Bricked Vogue As A Gift, Lucky Me LOL Flash Is Completly FF'D Out, Do Anyone Know The Jtag Pinout's And If There Is Any Software Available To Us To Talk To This Flash? I Have My Homeade Jtag Ready To Go But Need Some Schematics, If Not I Could Be A Guinea Pig If Anyone Wants To Shoot Some Idea's Thank's In Advance
*Edit* Looking At The Mainboard From The Back On The Left Side There are 10 Contact's, Only 4 Have A Function With The Exception Of Ground... I'm Betting That's A Good Place To Start
Pin's 1,5,6,8 And 10 Is Ground
TMS TCK TDI TDO Maybe?........... Not In That Order Necessarily.
If anyone has any info that they don't want to make public or spoonfeed instructions i would appreciate a pm rather than no answer at all..... Thanks Again
I realize this may be obvious, but have you tried to get to the bootloader screen? If it's not completely bricked you should be able to bring that up even if the phone won't boot to WM.
Completly Bricked..... Flash Was Formated With Task 2a in mtty then froze before spl was restored
*BUMP*.................................
Ouch
*Update* Vogue Jtag Is Identical To Rhodium_W

Hello, does someone have the jtag pinout for the uni?
Or at least the circuit diagram...
I thought the whole point of jtag was that it was a standardised interface connector:
http://www.interfacebus.com/Design_Connector_JTAG_Bus.html
or am I misunderstanding your question?
Cheers,
yes, I know what is jtag but probably my question was misplaced.
what I would know is where are jtag testpoints on universal.
my phone is bricked and the only hope of resurrection is restore the bootloader through jtag
ah right, I'm with you now. have you checked out the universal reference manual? is it mentioned in there?
-edit- no just checked doesnt appear to have any mention or picture of one.
sadly true: the service manual doesn't mention it.
does someone has got schematics for the universal?
sigh! i'm going to believe that my uni will be forever a nice paperweight...
any news?
Hello, I'm still stuck with my uni bricked. Anyone have new suggestions or jtag pinout?
Thanks!
I payed about 50USD to have my bootloader chip replaced here in China.
cant find any other solution for the same brick here. I'v heard someone here fixed his dead bootloader by jtag DOC reflash.good luck.
Hi champro, then does you have got the bootloader chip replaced and not reflashed?
Does you could contact someone to get jtag pinout for the universal?
Thanks a lot.
Any success for bootloader solutions ? I also have a bricked universal.
Thanks
Still nothing...
Hi, I haven't debricked my uni yet. But in the meantime I'm looking for a dead mainboard (or a whole dead phone) in the way I'll could desolder the cpu to trace the jtag pins. When I'll have this pinout I'll count on the support of this forum to find a pal that will dump a working phone to restore mine.

we are allready doing this no need to break two phones
Great!!!!!!!!
Fantastic! May I participate? I'm a average experienced user with jtag interfaces and a dead M5000 to work on!
Please is a lot of time that I'm waiting for the jtag pinout!
ok Lt.Cmdr.Ivan is going to trace the JTAG points from under the CPU of his dead Universal, last I heard he was about to put it in a toaster to get it off
You say you have JTAG experiance? When we find the points could you work out the best/only method etc to fix a broken Universal
Yes, I've already debricked a toshiba e740 pda last year. A complete success!
The best way to desolder a bga is to use a heater gun like those used to remove paint from walls. It is very cheap 15~20$. If you aim to the motherboard with this gun, surface mounted components literally fly away or fall down if is it in vertical position.
I'll wait anxiously for news!!!
i suppose who can afford a digital multimeter, can afford a hot-air soldering station as well. (well under $100 now)
anyway, you can just use a 300W infrared bulb and several hours and the work is done as well.
just pick off the plastic items before applying this heat.
Hi, any news? The number of bricked universal is growing!!!
roglioWhat software you used and what adapter LPT (wigler )or another?
If you know the points jtag as you will write in DOC (DiskOnChip) SPL and IPL ?
Just fyi progress ont he JTAG project can be found here:
The Universal JTAG Project
We found them
ok everyone my first post here and I am not very familiar with the technincal stuff so please explain the fix properly (if their is any)
I have the o2 xda orbit and I never tried to modify it (change firmware, rom etc) or upgrade to WM6. Everything is original the way that it came. I have been using the orbit for about 6 months now and I had bought it off ebay.
Just yesterday I was chargin the orbit through the usb cable and I removed it since i had to go out and i just put it in my jeans pocket and after 5 min when i took it out there was a blank white screen. I took the battery out overnight and turned it on in the morning but still the same thing happens. The images below show exactly what shows up on my screen
I dont know what to do The minute i turn it on that is the only screen i see. No windows logo nothing. I removed the sim card and memory card. But still no luck. Can i change it through warranty eventhough I live in Canada? ANy help is appreciated!! I would be glad to give more information to you if I can.
If you know of any other forums where i can get better help, please let me know.
Switch it on but hold in the voice record button when you do it, do you get a Red/Green/Blue screen?
Maybe, it saw a ghost?

nope same blank white screen with a line in the middle.
Looks like a serious hardware death there. Did you buy it off an ebay shop or private? If from a shop you may be able to make a warranty claim, if not you'd have to post it to a repair centre and cross your fingers.
I am presuming here that you have tried a Hard Reset too, ie holding down both softkeys whilst resetting, then releasing the softkeys when you get a confirmation message.
if i press the reset button nothing happens. Orbit only responds to the power button. I bought it off ebay and hence the problem. Do you think it is only a screen malfunction and if i buy a replacement screen I should be able to solve the problem? is it easy to replace the screen by myself?
I DONT KNOW IF IT'S WORK for you BUT... I work in a big shop where a lot of clients buy differents models from Htc and, 2 months ago, somebody have the same problem (with 2 lines) WITH a Tytn. We have flashing his tytn with the original rom and the problem has gone !
Have you try to make a connection with you pc ??? If activsync work...(maybe the bootloader work and ... of course, you can't see if the htc is running because you screen d'ont work for the moment)... you have nothing to loose if you try... If activsync dont work, try to put a original signed rom from htc to the root directory of your microsdcard and follow this tread from the xda-wiki section : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
REALLY, I'M NOT A PROFESSIONAL BUT I REALLY THINK THIS IS MADE BY SOMETHING WRONG (FOR ANY RAISON) IN YOUR ROOT DIRECTORY AND THE SCREEN CAN'T WORK NORMALLY... oF IT'S MEABY DUE TO A BAD CONTACT BEETWEEN YOU SCREEN AND THE "MOTHERBOARD" FROM THE PDA.
I HOPE THIS CAN HELP YOU.

Could you give me step by step instructions on flashing the xda orbit rom. Out of frusturation i tried updating the orbit to WM6 and it successfuly updated according to message on my computer screen. So i have wm6 on my phone now but still the same problem.
I exctacted the file and put it in the root of my sd card and pressed the voice button and power button. Now how do i know that the ROM is being flashed? (since i just see the white screen). Even for the orbit should i just name the file on the microsd card as ARTEIMG.nbh ?
Thanks for all your help..but since i am new to this could you please explain teh process in more simpler terms?
Thanks again

Sorry to tell you dear friend but your LCD is cracked, you can see it very clearly on the first picture, bottom right hand corner.
simple way to test if true is to connect to the pc and see if its recognised.
sorry to give you some bad news.

i dont mind the bad news. So if i just buy a replacement lcd from ebay would that work? How hard is it to replace LCD? Is it something that i can do by myself? What should i be buying THIS OR THIS. You guys know of any other cheap places where i can buy lcd screen? My computer does recognise the orbit once i connect it to the computer and activesync successfuly completes the operation. So i am guessin there is something wrong with the lcd screen.
If You Put Out Your Battery More Than 30 Second, It Make The Same ?? And In The Same Place???
NOW YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOOSE... if is it the screen, you must change it...
But before, try to flash one more time your artemis with the original wm5 and, for sure, begin to make it supercid before (so you are sure you dont make a second problem !).
The client with a same problem (but not with the little trace at the right side from your screen) is happy now ! Play also a littlebit to make hardreset, softreset, usb bootloadermode ... And maybe you will see the color coming back!
I said one more time, i am not a professional for this problem but, "still trying" is never bad.... And for the screen... if you command him, you must waiting... so... try it first and if you have no more solution to try, send the pdaphone to htc... And if it's the screen, pay the replacement to htc and dont make it you self ( ebay?? are you sure 100 % the screen you buy its working???!!!??? ).
Yeah, if your computer recognises it, it'll just need a new screen.

Ok, first bit, there is a section on this forum on linking where to buy a lcd with touch screen, and there is also a guy who has done this, you can read up on it, but it will take you some time and hours removing the covers ( trying not to damage them ) and also hours of painfull cleaning, dust is the worst thing you could ever imagine,as soon as that nice lcd comes out of the package you will have dust all over it and once you have the phone back together the smallest amount of dust trapped inside will drive you crazy.
The best action for you to do would be to send it off for repair, in the end you will have your phone fully working.
the price of the replacement LCD is around 80 Euro's + sending cost.
the price you have to look into for a repair could be double.
but look into this carefully and ask yourself these questions.
1. Have you ever done this before.
2. Do you have the right tools.
3. Do you have a lot of paitience.
4. Is it worth doing it yourself and causing more damage to the phone ?
if you cannot say yes to all of these points that the solution is to send it off to repair.
hope this helps.
Regards.

i've just sent you a pm! please check
Does anyone know, where can it be send for repair to?
I have a bricked phone (even bootloader is not started).
And it was bought at eBay, so no any warranty or so.
This is XDA Orbit and I'm in Austria, where O2 has no representation.
Could you, please, advice the companies/possibilities to reapir it (chip change or direct reflashing - not via USB).

Thanks for letting me know..i though it was a pretty simple thing to do by myself. But now I definitely dont want to take that chance. I will shop around for some local cell repair shop. But since this phone is not available in canada I dont know where to go. Does anyone know of a repair shop in Toronto?
I would think the quickest turnaround would be throught HTCamerica. Its located in Houston Tx...
http://www.america.htc.com/support/service-repairs.html
thats just my two cents, turnaround time is like 5 to 7 days after receipt... if they service your phone, they do p3300, you would have to call to find out

This happened to mine too,and screen was not broken.Working internally but white 'screen of death' showing.Sent back to 02 but no mention of fault on return.I think rom suffers corruption since it was after x close, fix.Not sure though!
Good morning I have a bricked XDA 02 (HTC Wizard), after a tentative of rom update. Now is dead compleately (doesn't switch on). The only way to solve the problem is the Jtag programming of the processor. I'm looking for the correct JTAG pins, but anyone have traced it till now. I have dismounted the brick and I found a strip on the left side of the board, can anyone tell me what it is used for (picture 2 and 4)??? Can anyone tell me if I can found the JTAG points under the soldering below OMAP processor? Does anyone have the OMAP 850 datasheet? Are the pins close to sim connector useful for what I'm looking for? Thanks to anyone that want to help me...
hi
me and some guys we are working finding that pins for reflashing
join us in thread (dead wizard , never let's revive) to continue it
i attached many important pic in last page , so take a look

The chances are that you will not be able to recover your Dash the reason being that a ROM flash from another Device will end up in a brick "true brick" i'd be asking the person who flashed your device to be refunding the ammount to purchase a new Dash "as he/she offered" as it's really not hard to know the difference between Dash & HTC TOUCH Pro especially if you do unlock phones for a living?
Hi all, I've searched the forum thoroughly but didn't find an answer:
Two months ago I was hit by the above problem, too - no USB (nor in bootloader) & discharge current from 190 (everything off) upto 400+ mAh. I tried to swap cables, PCs, ROMs (from Energy to stockROM, forth and back)... nothing helped... SERIAL only.
Of course I cant' get the orig SPL back so sending to warranty repair isn't too probable (if I don't want to pay a new phone's price for just swapping the MB )
I hesitate to accept that it is a SW problem (that the NRGZ's ROM rewrited something or caused a HW fault). So, hasn't anybody found a solution? Isn't it possible somehow to revert the bootloader without USB? Or, could it be really a _faulty_USB_connector_ and I've got a bad luck simply??
Thanks, Michael

Take a magnifying glass and check the USB port. Some people have found that some of the pins get bent over. If so, you may be able to carefully bend it back straight. Having a bent pin might explain the power drain as well as no USB.
3 weeks ago, my usb wasnt working. I couldnt connect with pc, but charging worked.
I have sent the device to htc, and they replaced the motherboard..

Yes you're probably right that that could be the best solution.
Nevertheless, in this case I can't revert the bootloader (SSPL) so I would have to pay the new MB (more than half a new TP2's price)

You can't? There are instructions on the ROM burning forum for returning it to stock SPL.
