Hello fellow developers. I am also happy (not) to say that I have bricked my O2 Stealth.
Has anybody been able to make any progress on debricking this phone using the JTAG method? I have two of these phones (one bricked) and I can confirm that on both phones there is evidence of test probing on the contacts marked with red ink shown in the previous post.
If these are the JTAG pins, is there any way of identifying which pin is which by probing with a multimeter and an oscilloscope?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Email me to get the bootloder and JTAG pins

O2 XDA Stealth JTAG pins
Thanks Slimli,
You are a champion !!! The photo of the JTAG pins made all the difference.
I then just simply followed the O2 Dead Boot tutorial that's floating around. I made up my own JTAG connector with odds and ends I found in the garage, and I replaced the EBO_a.nb0 file with the stealth bootloader you had also sent me. I now have Windows Mobile 6.5 running on my phone.
Once again, Thanks Slimli, you are a champion !!!!!!!!!!!

Now i have Ebo_a.NB0
and i have H-jtag program and i connect with my stealth via LPT port.
Which address or type to flash this file to my stealth ?

I followed instructions given here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=DeadBoot
These instructions can also be found here:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=680669
I used the program in this package:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/RepairBootLoader.zip
Replace EBO_a.nb0 given in this package with the Stealth bootloader.
The addresses and flash type are set up in 'start.bat'. They also apply to the Stealth. Open a DOS shell in the same directory as 'start.bat' (which also has 'EBO_a.nb0'), and then at the DOS prompt, type 'run start'. The only tricky part is to get a good contact on the jtag pins. The rest was easy.

thank you

Download an 'update' from your operator's support website. If your phone won't boot enough so that it can connect via activesync then just use the bootloader method.
Read the WIKI page for all instructions http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Good luck!
try a hard reset first.
reset + left and right soft buttons i think

Please help me?

I bought a used HTC s630 from ebay. The guy said that it would freeze at the loading screen. When i got it i did a hard reset using the 2 softkeys and power button. Worked for a while, then when i went to use it again and turned it on it goes to the homescreen but i cant do anything. When i press any keys the keyboard lights up but thats all.when i plug in the charger the battery icon on the screen shows that its charging but thats the only change. Im thinking that if i flash the shipped rom again itll fix it, but i cant seem to find it anywhere? any ideas please????
try upgrading the rom? Maybe that would help?
If you go to xda Wiki there is a Dopod C730 rom there.
Also, Curzz has cooked a bunch of awesome WM6.1 roms, you can try loading that.
to do that i need to do the hard spl so i can load diff roms other than htc's, and to do that i need to app unlock[ it which requires it to be connected through active sync. i tried loading others but i get error codes like 290 which is incalid vendor id. the only solution that i can see right now is to flash the shipped rom though the bootloader. does anyone have the shipped htc WM6 rom?
I have an original HTC S630 (Branded HTC) with original WM 6 rom, but I dunno how to copy my rom on to the computer, if you can tell me how to do it, I'll be happy to do it for you
OMG thank you so much. AND YOUR EGYPTION!! Salam Alakum, Im egyption as well. I will look in to see how to dump a rom. If anyone else knows the help would be appreciated.
THis is the link that cruzz provided when he was trying to get a copy of all the roms.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowToDumpOSManually
I have tried that procedure before and it did not work.
Have you tried going to the agent in Cairo, JoviTronics? You could ask them to re-install the rom again.
Did you buy your phone from Vodafone?
I actually live in america. I bought the phone used from ebay. I just called htc and they say its still under warranty, but i want to try and fix it myself before sending to them. maybe cruzz has a copy of the rom?
what error did u get when u tried extracting the rom?
did u get this
D:\_ROM>pdocread.exe -l
Copying D:\_ROM\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll
Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is inuse?
try restarting your device, or restart ActiveSync

Not sure .... u can do a hard spl? if can u can try use mtty to check if the os has bad sector. U can get the link on how tos at the sticky thread "for newbie...."
regards
thing is i cant do hardspl without app unlock which needs activesync. thats why im tryin to find the htc shipped rom
so it turns out that the phone i bought off of ebay for 30 dollars was broken, but lucky me it was still under warranty. i sent it to htc for repair and they replaced the entire board for me free!! waiting for it to be delivered, then ill pull the htc wm6.0 rom off of it for u guys.

Plz help me unbrick my hard bricked phone
I wouldn't recommend it. Please go to a gsm service.they will fix it.If you are not a tech wizzard,then don't try to recover a hard brick phone home.there are alot of command lines to be written and the most slightest mistake will result in a permanent brick,beyond repair.You have 2 choices : send the phone to warranty,tell them it died.Go to a service and pay about 20 bucks to repair it.

No other way really ?:crying:
I am also facing cookie not received error on QPST. But my phone is Cherry Flare, qualcomm msm8225 based.
I had updated my phone to Jelly Bean (used it for 3 days) which died while it was charging. I tried to flash bootloader through QPST, but got the cookie error. I assume the QPST can solve the flash problem if something went wrong while updating firmware. In my case I was not updating the firmware, it suddenly died. After reading so many forums, I could not find any solution and am thinking that the phone is beyond repair by myself.
Now my question:
1. Can service center repair the phone through JTAG? I believe JTAG can directly access eMMC flash which QPST could not.
2. If not, can eMMC be replaced? Or the entire main board needs to be changed?
If the emmc is intact,jtag can fix it.
If the emmc buffer is corrupted or full with bad attempts to recover,the only way is to change the mainboard.
Happend to a friend with a galaxy note.he tried so many times to fix it with odin home until it was too late for jtag.it could't acces the emmc.
Anyway,if the phone is hard bricked,it can't be traced.so send it to warranty.

Forget it my brother. I had the same problem and I never found them. Those files are strictly released to Qualcomm developers only.
I would suggest u get another motherboard from a dhd and replace it with urs.
You can search eBay for DHDs with cracked screens for lower prices.

[Q] Galaxy Grand Duos GT-I9082 CLONE (MT6572 Chipset)

Hey guys, I have here a cloned Samsung galaxy grand duos GT-I9082 which is owned by my neice and it comes with MT6572 Chipset and a 1GB of RAM. So the problem is it was boot looped due to change of dpi and the worst is, she used the root function in MTK Droid tools though it is already rooted via framaroot and I think what she does really messed up the device. Now I can't access the recovery (through pressing both volume down + power) though it's in chinese language before. When I tried to boot it normally, it just opens the backlight for 10 seconds then turns off then turns on again. When I pressed the volume up + power, "Android System Recovery <3e>" pops out, which is strange co'z it wasn't there before (according to my neice). The only way adb detects the phone is when I choose "apply update using ADB" and there it was detected as a sideload. Lastly, when I do a normal boot while connected to a pc, in device manager, an "MT65XX Preloader" driver pops out (meaning it is detected) before the device restarts again.
So, does this phone still have a chance to be fixed? I feel it still have a little chance, but I don't know anymore where to find any solution to this problem. Hope you guys help me regarding this issue. God bless!
up up up up
im also having the same problem.
does anyone know what to do?
THANKS
If you really want to you can reinstall the official firmware. Use this link
http://www.needrom.com/download/gt-i9082-mt6572/
I'm brick my phone month before.
Suggestion from upper post not work for me.
Do you have another suggestion - rom?
CU
UPDATE: I've found a working ROM for my phone in 4shared. But it does not detect the inserted sim cards because it doesn't come up with "secro.img" file. You might try flashing this ROM here: (kindly remove spaces on the link as XDA prohibits posting of links with at least 10 posts.)

thank you so much for your reply ill try it now hope it works. update you soon with my progress.
it worked but still cant find a way to fix the sim problem
thanks
I'm glad that it also works on your device. And finally I've found a workaround for this undetected SIM cards problem. All you have to do is to enter your IMEI inside the engineer mode. So first, download "MTK engineer mode" in play store then in the app, choose "MTK settings" and then tap "GPRS" then enter your IMEI for SIM 1 (if you only have 1 IMEI, you can both enter the same IMEI for SIM 2. DO NOT INCLUDE SPECIAL CHARACTERS). After typing your IMEI, tap "Write IMEI". Do the same procedure for SIM 2. Once you're done, close the app then restart. Hope this works for you.

i have bricked my device i9082 MT6572 clone, same with yours right? most probably, the ROM you flashed was a little bit incompatible due to its scatter file. i've detected the problem and you had not included the secro.img which is essential for the IMEI, though flashtool can't include it coz the address is not correct.. after hard works, i've got to have a working ROM but i've not uploaded it yet. i'm gonna upload it soon so please, stay tuned
