I'm sorry to all the member and mods if I post in wrong section.
I have a dead Atom, which failed in upgrade process and the bootloader somehow damaged. now it won't even power up, PC doesnot recognise the Atom via USB, only red led when charged.
I have read some people have succesfully revive their handheld with damaged bootloader via JTAG flashing. since it's the only option to revive the Atom, I would like to try it.
So, for all the member in this forum who happen have skills and experience in JTAG flashing, would you please give me some advice regarding JTAG flashing on Atom ?
I know the real problem is how to find and determine the JTAG pinout on the board, if anyone happen to know those pinout, would you please share here ?
I would not mind if i have to open up my Atom, as long not removing the PXA ( I don't have the hardware equipment )
In the mean time, I found the simple unbuffered JTAG schematic, and i'll built it
Appreciate all the help and advice
Thank you
I was trying to unlock my brothers xda IIi for him but i screwed it instead. theres so many different methods out there didnt know which one to use and wasnt to sure what this device was called in the end i used Uni_Simlock_by_Buzz_and_team but while the program was changing the radio rom at 4% it gave and errror and told re connect usb and try it again and kept doing that each time. but now when u do a hard or a soft reset and the device loads up it says NO GSM. can someone please tell me how to fix that or i will need to buy my brother a new XDA IIi please help me and also tell me which unlocking guide i should use for the above deive thank you for any help.

thx m8 already tryed it....no luck
There are only two ways if you cannot get Bootloader (SPL) to run :
1. Send to RMA (gsm only : if it wasn't security unlocked)
2. Use Jtag (we only know pinouts for normal diamond yet)

thx every1 who tryed to help got the phone fixed had to send it in to htc uk only had to pay for posting it to them the rest was covered by the warranty diagnosis was main board failure? anyway back up and working 100% the only thing that it`s still locked on *range uk....has any1 ever unlocked their simlock?
OffTopic ... for unlocking read threads about that OR ask Olipro or cmonex or tupisdin
On the same topic, i have a bricked touch diamond that does not have a working bootloader. Totally dead, computer does not recognize it etc. And to make thigns worse i dont have a receit for it. Bricking happened during installing a new cooked rom over a previous cooked rom without doing a hard reset between them.
What are my options to possibly make this HTC working again? For example, can i get it JTAG'ed somewhere, or can i get it repaired somewhere (manufacturer?) even without warrenty?

Flashing a new cooked ROM over a previously cooked ROM (obviously you have hardspl and all that) wont brick. Thats weirddddd!
Im sure you tried hardreset and all that stuff right?
Can you enter bootloader at least? or tottaly dead?
Tried hard reset > no luck. Left the phone sitting without a battery for a few days > nothing. Allso can't acces the bootloader, so basically totally dead
Any ideas?
is battery charging?
As far as i can tell, no. I'll check that again later, don't habe the phone here at the moment.
To Sergio PC: i read from somewhere that you should not install a new rom without a hard reset before that. None the less, that is propably what has happened here. You think that something else has gone wrong here?
Well it seems that you indeed killed your spl.
I'm trying to jtag my diamond soon and will reply to this thread.

This is so weird. Maybe somebody flashed cdma hspl on gsm diamond. This brick phone 101%, but gsm hspl on gsm phone - this is almous impossible, unless your battery is too low (but flashing with low battery even won't start). I'm litle scarry about flashing any htc device these days. And can somebody post here DIAM100 JTAG pinout ?

You mean dead as in throw it to the dogs or dead as in keep trying there is a way to unbrick it?
With JTAG, yes
Exactly. RMA or JTAG.
For the latter one I need to code an app and verify that my jtag pinouts work.
The first option is however the best if you aren't quite good in soldering cables to small pads.

You need to send to warrenty... Your Diamond is death!!!!
I have same problem and send to repair and change all mainboard, new IMEI.
You kill the phone!!!!

Damn, that sounds quite bad. So do you happen to know why would this totally kill the phone rather than just mess up the nand flash that could be saved with JTAG. What i've been reading about the way that nand flash memory is written, when you scren up the write and you dont have hardcoded bootloader, then there is nothing to "channel" the new data (new rom) throught the usb/motherboard/other circuitry. So here comes JTAG to the rescue as it can reprogram the flash using only four wires connected directly to the chip and some clever sounding techniques that happens inside the chip...
Then again, i might be totally wrong here because my knowledge about inner workings of a modern ic chip is slim to none. But never the less, i still keep on hoping that there would be a way to save my touch, maybe even by sending it to someone with better knowledge and equipment to JTAG it (and pay a hefty compensation for it offcourse).
Any idea how much does the service cost to change the whole mainboard?
Ps. my english is not that great, especially on the techincal vocabulary. So i hope you all can still at least partially understant what i am trying to say...
You are absolutely right. Only SPL is bricked, thus you only need to write spl to nand. You can do so using jtag.

About the charging, even that is'nt working...
How about the JTAG'n, does anyone or any place do it for money, besides actual service. Anyone here willing to help me?
HI Guys. So i managed to flash the a200 bootloader on this thing a while back and installed some custom stuff. After bricking it once and having to RMA i decided to leave it unlocked. About a year later the tablet just died all of a sudden. I can get into CWM recovery but when I try to flash a rom it gives an "fail to mount" error. I did some searching and i found out that maybe the emmc is bad and would require a motherboard replacement. Well since Acer wants to charge me $250 to repair it and a replacement motherboard cost be around $30 I think i would take the risk doing a pulldown and replacing the motherboard myself, If i can get some help to do it as I wouldnt even know where to find the first screw. I'm also willing to document the process and post it as a tutorial for those facing a similar problem if it is successful. So if anyone can advise me on how to do this I would be eternally grateful.
Hi Everyone,
Posted about this in the unbricking guide post (see below link).

Was wondering if anyone could offer up any suggestions as to how to fix this problem. I apologise for posting about this twice, but I am in dire need of any help I can get on this one.
Update: just to let you all know, after many days of trying to resolve this, I decided to take it to a local phone repair shop. Unfortunately they have not been able to fix the problem either. As this was the case, I decided to buy a new phone.
