HTC Hermes GSM JTAG pins - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi,
after a lot of wicked things had been done with my device, i decided to lift another secret.
Anyway i spent some time to do some investigation and managed to trace the JTAG testpins of the GSM chipset on the hermes!
So it's done!
To be 100% secure, this has again to be verified with some software.
Work is in progress!
At least what is missing right now, is a bullet proof flash tool to rewrite the radio bootloader.
That's why we need your help!
If anyone got information about the JTAG chain of MSM6275 (BSDL file) or similar info, please PM me!
Hopefully this will led to the final step and unbrick nearly any device.
Maybe someday all these "no GSM" devices could be brought to life again...
At least if it's software related issue (e.g. broken Radio bootloader)!!!
EDIT:
Just decided to move all this stuff to the existing JTAG related thread for hermes. Many things about building adaptors and other stuff had been discussed there recently. Aslo noobs may find some answers there! So maybe this avoids double posts.
!!!Moved over here!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2184868#post2184868
Please have a look and join the discussion!
We urgently need some kind of information about using JTAG on Qualcomm chipsets!
So have fun!
Best regards,

Wow, great project.
Good way to revive a otherwise dead device.
Thanks,

First Post Sorry !!!

Well this is my first post and i am making it why ? .... Yes you got it right i bought something called Qtek S100 and after some research i got here.
And now as any new person having a toy im wondering what the toy can do ...
After having read some of the posts in the forum im going to make some questions i find pertinent.
1) Do all the brands that sell this have the same hardware so i can flash it with just about anyone´s flash roms ?
2) Whats the procedure for doing the above operation and what to do if all goes wrong and the image gets "screwed"? New Phone ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Trystam,
I try to reply:
1) No. It is better to download and flashing the correct written ROM to the device. Usually there is a checking on the program to find out wheter the ner ROM is for specific device.
2) Usually as long as we can have Bootloader not screw up, we can always flashing the ROM. It is means safe.
If Bootloader fail, we need to do flashing direct (open the case). A bit difficult and need people expert enough to do it.
So, it is better to read opinion use the correct ROM and tools, and decide carefully wheter you need to flashing another ROM to the device.
Hope can help.
Best regards,
Arto.
I flashed my T-mobile Compact with Qtek rom and it works.... all these brands have same hardware, because their one and only manufacturer is HTC..

!!!! Hey Y'all Fill Your Signature With Your Device Info Before Post Please!!!!!

Hi all!!!​
Fist of all Im Not insulting anybody... This is for our BENEFIT.
After some post and time, in XDA general forum Im exposing this problem:
We have too much BRICKED Devices in wizard forums, cause our devices have too DOC CHIP Flash versions inside and the people dont reads enough information, to know where to go and ask whatever they think. So We suggest a solution... when somebody register on the forum it must be some fill spaces about his device like ours... but it is imposible!!! and they are right, the reason is We cant obligate everybody to do this, even if is an important Info to avoid damages.
So... Flar (MOD) told me that we can get a Stickie Thread to let knows to everybody in wizard forums to fill their signature with the information we need to answer their questions, its a great Idea!!!!
So the hope is the last thing to die....
PLEASE EVERYBODY FILL YOUR SIGNATURE WITH YOUR DEVICE INFO​
So let me tell you what Info is important to fill in:
Device Model Provided if not in front cover under the battery in the label that say the IMEI and serial (If you want the name that carriers use, I think is not important but i see some people wit his HTC UNIVERSAL using Roms for wizards!!!) BRICKED PDA!!!
IPL and SPL version, provided by a softreset on the second screen(this info is shown on the second splash screen when device boots)
Radio version provided too in the second splash screen (when the phone starts or boot after the softreset under the name GSM!)
OS Version its shown again in the second splash screen (are just number like 1.0.0.0. or something like that)
The Rom you are currently using, Developer and Windows mobile version too, give to the chefs his fame and reputation too!!! they deserve lots of congrats even the ROM is ugly... cause it costs too much than a bricked device. if you have an original ROM please provide the link to it and all the info.
CID/SIM locked or unlocked SuperCID(G3), softSPL or HardSPL (G4) if you never do the unlock process on tutorial... You Are locked!!!
Its important that you read carefully the wiki Cause it has so much informatino like knowing about your DOC CHIPSET G3 or G4 (IPL, SPL can do it too) there is some Faq Manual if you can read a little too.
IF you got any question or suggest PM me you can found ME around Here.
Thanks To all!!!!! and mods to let me put this Stickie on every Topic in wizard forums.
Thanks to all the new members that recah his limits just for revives his devices or upgrade his devices we are here for help y'all.
Thanks to all Seniors, Administrators and Moderators for support our forum...
Im kinda MISS UNIVERSE????!!!!!
See on the upper lever bar of this web it says... USER CP click it and then on the Left bar see the option Signature... to edit your info
Just if you dont know what am I talking about.

Unbrick HD2 with JTAG HTC HD2/LEO

Hi Guys,
While searching for solutions to unbrick my HD2 TMOUS i came across this gadget.
It connects to the HD2's PCB directly without soldering. this connection adapter is available at http://www.multi-com.pl/index.php/en_US,details,id_pr,7912,menu_mode,categories.html which costs around $16. but the expensive part is the adapter that connects to the PC to flash the phone. this costs $229. http://www.multi-com.pl/index.php/en_US,details,id_pr,6503,menu_mode,categories.html
Its all expensive for an individual to buy these gadgets. but there is probably people or service centers who own these.
Do you know of any place where we can get this phones unbricked other than the HTC service centers?
Cool, looks like something that could be very useful.
Cool.. i knew somebody should be having it around here.. keep us updated..

Hello,
I've a bricked HTC HD2 1024LEO from US T-mobile I've unlocked and I've 2.02 ROM but can't anymore change... Can someone help me, I live in Belgium...
I also have bricked HD2 LEO phone and I need the full dump to flash it with jtag since it can not enter to boot mode anymore. and the SPL area is damaged too, now the only solution is to full flash it with JTAG.
I already have the ORT JTAG tool and the phone is connected OK to the JTAG interface but I do not have the full dump for this phone.
will be grat if anyone can send the full dump for it so that it can be revive, I already tried to search for the full dump but it is not there.
Best Regards
SPL is required at least partially to work in order to have JTAG working.

I've used the Riff Box on my T-Mobile HD2. I'm not an electrical engineer so I also used the Multi-Com HD2 USA PCB. This worked perfectly and my device turned on again after three weeks being dead.
Cost me a lot for the postage of both items seperately to New Zealand (about NZ$120). There is a brick fix dll for the HD2 so its just a matter of reading the instructions and forums carefully before attempting the ressurection.
I suppose I would be happy to help anyone living on this side of the world.
yes it worcks
hi guys i did try the jiff jtag and it works , i contacted the guys at multicom and i send my phone there , they fix it and now it works perfect , all that i can say to you is please be more careful
good luck

[Q] HTC HD2 Dead (for good?). Pls Help

Hi There,
I have an HTC HD2 T-mobile USA. I was dumb enough to flash the "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50. 07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship" into my phone and now it is dead.
I read in some previous posts that I could try to SD-card-flash the stock ROM2.13 (under 4G card, changing extensions and renaming the file, entering the Bootloader, etc.).
I could not find a "stick" post with step-by-step instructions. For instance, I need to know more on how to access the Boot-loader on the HD2
Is there anybody out there that tried this method with success? Replies to previous post are unclear on that.
Thanks
K
its dead. the radio in the rom you flashed has destroyed it.
two options
warranty/repair shop
jtag

Can you tell me more about the Jtag process? Is it possible for me to do on my own?
Please, advise.
Thank you
K.
Honestly, not to seem like a douche...but if you bricked your HD2 by flashing an incompatible ROM, after all of the warnings and such that are everywhere about the .51 radios, I think that JTAG'ing is a little out of your range of skill. It involves takeing your device completly apart, soldering 5-ish tiny wires to tiny pads, and then reflashing the original SPL to your motherboard...not an easy task by any means. I would phone up HTC or T-Mobile and see what they say about warranty/repair.
Before you send your phone away to HTC or try to get your phone company to replace it, try here:

My very first flash went badly, I think due to a bad usb cable, and this was my only way out.
If this works, you'll be stuck on the test rom, but it is fully functional and still can be customised just about as much as any cooked rom, with a little time and effort.
Best of luck!

[Q] Does anyone have JTAG hardware in Sydney/Canberra?

Hi all,
I bricked my Magic last month trying to flash an engineering SPL onto it. It's stuck at the Vodafone screen and won't go into bootloader nor recovery. I've tried the trick detailed in the How I Un-Bricked My Bricked Phone thread with no luck and I've tried it for weeks.
I'm going to try to JTAG based on this guide but I need the hardware. Just wondering if anyone local(ish) has the hardware before I spend $90 or so.
Even better would be someone who could do it for me!
Anyway, just giving it a shot. Hopefully there's someone out there...
