Port pinouts - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

G'day All,
Just wondering if anyone had a solid word on whether the pinouts (on the XDA-Developers site) for the XDA I reflect the XDA II port pinouts as well?? OK - The connector's the same - But are ALL the pins the same?
I'd appreciate an educated opinion on this one!
Cheers!
Andy

I know for sure that the USB and serial have the same pins, because the cables still work.
My best guess at this point is that all the pins are the same. It would be very nice if they had added a radio-mute on one of the free pins, and I would also much appreciate if some of the weird power-down characteristics of the serial port were gone, but haven't tested this.
Does anyone have an XDA1 carkit or other piece of equipment that uses the audio pins and that can confirm the kit still works on XDA2 ?

XDA II Pinouts
Thanks for that! If someone can confirm those audio pins for us, that'd be great!
Cheers!

How strong is your Google-fu? O2 Car kit pinout needed..

Yes..
I need the pinout of the O2 XDA II car kits RJ45 female connector.
I am close: http://home.teleport.com/~n3eg/rsgps.htm
But this has 6 pins and a different shape on the GPS connector..
I have a 4 pin RJ 45 style female connector..
Can anyone help me out?
(If we find it, we should add it to the Wiki as well...)
Doesn't anyone have info on this?
Does anyone have any idea of where I can get it, whom I should contact?
i will have a look monday for you.
John
GREAT!
Tahn you SOOO much!

Did you find out anything?
I still haven't been able to figure this thing out...[/b]
i think that you're connector is actually an RJ11 or RJ13. RJ45 has 8 conductors, the other two have six and four, but which, I forget. It may help you in your quest.... Good Luck!

Backpack connector pinout

I have bought a pair of faulty backpacks on ebay for my XDA IIi.
One of them is totally shot, the other kind of works but there is a bad connection on the connector that attaches to the XDA.
Does anyone have info on the pinout of this connector please?
I checked the XDA II service manual to no avail.
Hi Mr Fusion
I'm afraid not an answer but a sharing of problems - I have lost my backpack lead and can't get another. Did you find the pinout? Any ideas where I might get the connector?
Cheers
Jon
I was just looking for the pinout when I saw this post! amazing coincidence.
Anyway, I was wondering about making my own Wifi backpack, or possibly squeezing an sdio wifi card inside the case on this connector.
But, I need the pinout before I can even hope to try.
To the guy with the dead backpack, how much did you pay? want to sell it cheap to me to experiment with?
Any of you who wants the complete kit plus 1Gb compact flash pm me.

Dock Gps ?
Is there eany DOCKING STATION for our phone (dosking station for charging and sync) ?
No, the usb/charger input is on the top side...
I know that but maby there is some docking station where we can put our phone in lendscape and stick usb cable in dock and phone for charging and syncing...
I don't know any but maby you look for something like that for the galaxy s (same input). Or search for a wireless dock (bluetooth)...
The Bugattie slim case for Samsung Galaxy i5800 is a great Accessories, too .
headsets
hi iam looking for the original stereo headsets that came with this phone. ant ideas where to purchase them?
I want to buy a car holder from dealextreme.com, because they are 4-5 times cheaper than the local dealers who usually sell exactly the same stuff. Can anybody suggest a good and durable one from there?
i dont know
great leather case best quality for case, this is my second case and its better than first about 50 times http://cgi.ebay.com/Stip-Leather-Ca...548813?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43a74b740d

[Q] Does anybody have a wiring diagram for the Captivate digitizer?

Working on a little project and need to know the pins for the digitizer output. Does anybody know if it's a four wire out?
If nothing else, a generic diagram might be enough.
You might find diagrams in this thread.

No dice. Primarily circuit/mainboard advice in there. Thanks for the reply though.
Also, is there anybody out there willing to donate a Cappy with a broken screen so I can experiment?
you could try PM'ing the author of that thread for the pin-out assignments of the digitizer LCD panel ribbon cable. I'd bet money he has them, but please dont bug him too much, he's a very busy guy.
Thanks and I sent him a pm.

UART Output

Back in the days when I was more adventurous with my Infuse 4g, I put together a little project board that allows me to specify resistances between pins 4 and 5 of a Micro-B USB cable. This allowed me to force my phone into Car Dock mode, or act as a USB JIG (for Triangle-Away purposes), or even connect to the phone using UART. I have a TTL 3.3v level conversion on the other end (a nice little FTDI breakout board that provides a USB serial port), and that makes it simple to capture the output of UART while the phone boots. I’ve used this board on my Infuse, my Galaxy S2, and now my new Galaxy S4.
To get it to work this time, I had to connect the RxD, TxD, VCC and GND wires up like usual to the FTDI breakout board, but I had to attach the 619k resistance at a specific timing. Here’s the order:
Unplug battery
Attach MicroB cable to phone
Attach the 4 wires above (easy for me, with dip switches for each)
Attach battery
Start Putty
Attach 619k resistance between 4th/5th pins.
Watch the magic
Attached is the UART output from this. Many thanks to AdamOutler and his help with the previous generations of Samsung devices. Hope this somehow helps in the efforts to obtain root. Let me know if there's anything special you'd like me to try.
Just tried my jig on the S4, and it works to put the phone in download mode.

I've been trying various resistances, and I can't seem to get to an SBL prompt. I'm wondering if this is because the bootloader is locked? If anyone has different results, please let us know how you did it. (thanks)
Any way I could get someone with some wiring experience to check out what we've got going on with the Samsung Infuse car dock on this thread? Trying to figure out why the Infuse car dock worked on the Skyrocket and SIII for me personally, but not the S4 - won't put it in car dock mode and won't charge the device.... if someone knew where the wires were supposed to be run, I have a spare base with a plug on it that's not attached to the mount that I can hack up, provided this isn't something too intense for me to get involved in! I can do a good bit of customizing when it comes to cars and car electronics, but I don't have all the cool tools it sounds like some of you have!
Thanks in advance for any insight you can bring to this discussion!

I set my jig-board to 619k exactly and provided it with vcc5v and a ground, and it does not charge and does not give car dock mode at all. For older Samsung devices, I always referenced:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820275
However, it seems the hardware might have changed? The older handsets have the fsa9480 ... perhaps one of our hardware-oriented devs could tell us what the S4 has inside? Might point us in the right direction to get the same list of modes/resistances ...

Well damn, I'm not the only one scratching their heads at this then, that's kind of good news! Thank you for testing, and you're right, I think once we have a little more answers, we'll be on to something here for sure!

Starting at step 14 they get into a detailed look at the hardware on board. Maybe this can help answer some questions for you.

Here's what one of the guys from iBolt has to say about the dock, collected from two threads regarding the Infuse dock:
MikaelPe said:
The Infuse Dock can't be used with the Galaxy S4 no matter what. This has to do with the fact that Samsung has changed the pin-out configuration when moving to the "new platform" so there's no technical way (to the best of our knowledge) to get it to charge or to start the car-mode. Not sure if this helps?

MikaelPe said:
Kryptos, as you probably saw in my reply on the other thread I unfortunately think the Infuse Dock is dead. Samsung have changed both the firmware and the pin-out so it neither charges nor is the traditional car-mode present anymore. As Samsung is not building their own OEM car dock it was probably not on the "checklist" so they simply skipped integrating the functionality. We've obviously figured out a solution and we are hard at work bringing a bunch of developers with us so they make their apps compatible with our Dock. We all can benefit from not only "DockMode" (as we simply call it henceforth) and the nice "aux-out" through microUSB, that is in my opinion a much bigger deal then anything they presented as "new feature" when introducing the S4. Hope this answers helps?

So I ended up ordered the iBolt xProDock from Amazon, don't worry about replying to the PM I send you Aou since we really don't have any testing to do on the iBolt or modifying to do on the Infuse dock - it is dead and I don't think I'm prepared to even try and revive it!
Sorry to "necro" but I need more info on this. If you connect the 619K resistor before power-on won't it work? What are the settings for baudrate, error checking etc.??
