This thread is intended to be used to unbrick your Lumia device from a failed WP Internals unlock, ending up in 05C6:F006.
DISCLAIMER: If you break your phone to a fully unbootable state, or break it, I won't take responsibility for it - you're responsible for this. YOU decided to give unbricking a shot, and you're responsible for it. You could have just kept your phone living as is.
I suppose I'm making an easy-to-access library of service manuals+motherboard schematics for the Lumia X2X series.
A ZIP is attached, containing a manual+schematics for X2X series devices on bootloader spec A.
Here's what you have to do to unbrick:
1. Disassemble your device following the service manual.
You need to get to your motherboard, for now. Do not go further.
If you do, you always have a risk to damage something. The phone won't boot at all if something is disconnected. I'll explain lower in the post.
2. Examine the motherboard schematics layout, and find the R3209 resistor. This is the "testpoint".
3. Disconnect and reconnect battery, connect USB to your phone, short the resistor, connect to PC. Wait for 2 seconds and remove the short.
Done! You should boot to 05C6:9008, which means you can reinstall Windows Phone using WDRT! Your phone is saved.
Unless, you messed up, like I did.

Risks
Be careful with heating the board to remove any shielding. If you are not careful like me, you may end up damaging the board. Here's a thing you have to pay attention to when removing the board on a 920.
Just be careful, short R3209 (using for example tweezers or a needle if you wanna short to the shielding), and reflash.
Best of luck, keep history alive, and resurrect Windows phones.

Ha! Thank you for credit, much appreciated. I remember the feelings I experienced when one of my bricked 920 units came up alive in QHSUSB_DLOAD, yet... eMMC dead, so... oh well, it was worth a shot though it took like 5 years
i have a lumia 820 but is in mode f006 and i am following this thread on my 820 and i dissasembled my 820 and i found R3209 resistor but I didn't understand step 3
@no111one can you help me with step 3?

Short the resistor to ground or short the resistor to remove the resistance, connect the USB cable first to your phone, then to the PC, and wait for those 2 seconds for the phone to understand what to do. Then remove the short to avoid further issues if the R3209 line ever gets used.

What exactly?
Remove the resistance by shorting the resistor and then once you know you were successful make the resistor functional again.
I don't see what's wrong - I explained how to do it in whatever way you prefer

Hi - I seem to have knackered my mini-usb port a bit (probably by accidentally sticking my stylus in it).
I can get a replacement one on eBay, but it doesn't come with any instructions. Does anyone know where I could find instructions to fit it? Or is it something that would need a soldering iron (which I don't have) or something too tricky for a clumsy oaf like me?
Thanks
Dan
I'm pretty sure you're stuck with the soldering problem. Hopefully I'm wrong, I have a friend that needs to replace his.

Oh no! I'm not getting into that, but so far it's looking like it'll cost £50 to get it fixed if I send it off to somewhere. At that price I'd prefer to live with a bit of a dodgy connection...
Thankfully you can use bluetooth for most everything.
And a battery charging cradle if reqd

As well as an el-cheapo cradle with battery recharge bay IF the battery no longer recharges in the phone. If dancj was not proficient at soldering, he could get that part done by someone who is but given the 'clumsy oaf' statement perhaps it's best for any work on the phone to be done professionally. Bluetooth dongles are cheap if the PC usually sync'd with doesn't natively have bluetooth but it'd be worth dancj having a good read of the manual to determine how to set up the connection first if this is new ground - this particular clumsy oaf found it quite tricky figuring out which side the connection is initially configured and initiated from until reading the manual

As mentioned in my post above, a cradle with battery charging bay gets around that. They're very cheap too (Here are the details of what I have). If you add to that a Bluetooth dongle for about £15, you're still well on the right side of the £50 repair cost.
Sorry - I misunderstood.
I have a kind of workaround at the moment which is one of these 3 way adaptors.
The plug for this one is a bit different and grips the bit inside the USB socket and still gives a good connection. I could keep that in the car and then have one of those cradles at home and at work...

I've got something that looks like that as well. I guess if its plug connects well with your phone, there's no reason why you couldn't use it for mains charging as well, although I don't know if I'd trust a slightly damaged USB port to not deteriorate. Irrespective of what happens with the port, that cradle and spare battery could still be utilised.
Yes sir,

i don't know if this is what Flying Kiwi is talking about, but you can also have one spare battery and a battery charger, and whenever one of the two batteries is depleted, replace it with the one that you charged with the battery charger, and so on. just keep that spare full one in your pocket.
Yeah that is an option. I really don't want to have to resort to physically changing my battery every day though.

Then you could get one of those big thick high capacity batteries with a matching 'swollen' battery cover and you'll only have to change it every second or third day. The downside is it doesn't look as good and it weighs more but it would still be cheaper than a £50 repair. Which is more important, saving a few quid or fixing it properly and having full functionality back?
If it comes down to that I think I'll swallow the £50 repair fee. At the moment I'm still torn between trying to get it repaired cheaper or living with a dodgy connection

help me please
Its a tough and skillful job but can be done! The Riff-box will flash the phone with a standard radio and working spl, and after that you can install a Rom of your choice, the riff box will unlock the phone and make it so it will accept any custom rom or original rom.
You have to disassemble the phone and solder the connector pins to the circuit board, connect everything up to the computer, run the riff box manager and it should take care of the rest!
I would definitely search google for HTC HD7 Jtag/riff box instructions and look at some of the web pictures to get a visual as to how things need to be connected!
Good luck my friend, you should be able to bring your Hd7 back to life!

thank you xdrc45,
but what is spl ?
"how things need to be connected!", almost question are here!
i'll try to disassemble the phone and take pictures to get more help
Edit: i have a question, there is the "riff box" and there is the "RIFF Box JTAG Manager"
are the supported phone models related with the product "riff box" itself, or with the program installed on computer "RIFF Box JTAG Manager" ?
the riff i bought is the NOV 2011 version, if the supported phones are related with the box, how to know if my box supports HD7?
This is the step I'm in:
I couldn't open everything

This might help but it looks like you dont have a solderless adapter
jtag pinout
Spl is like a safe mode that allows you to flash a rom to the device.
Your almost there, you have to open up your phone even further than that!
You can read more about spl here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SPL
I would watch this video it shows connection setup and process for hd7
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=/watch?v=OMRyQpBr82M&v=OMRyQpBr82M&gl=US
I would suggest to start JTAG Manager and click “Check for Updates” button. You’ll be notified about new DLL, download it and restart the software.

The riff box manager is what supports the device, it tells the riff box itself what to do as far as programming and instillation to your device. Think of the riff box as a middle man between your computer and the hd7. The hd7 is a supported device for the 2011 riff box manager, so as long as everything is connected properly the riff box manager will control the riff box and transfer/install everything needed to bring your hd7 back to life!

Did you figure out what to do with the protective film, as long as it doesn't have imbedded wiring through it, you should be able to peal back that one corner to make the connection you need. It should have sticky edges so you can reattach it or put a spot of glue on the corner to hold it back in place.

My company is sponsoring an event in October and I was trying to come up with some low-cost, tech giveaway (all attendees will be getting a branded bag and this would go inside). I know a lot of people forget/loose/break their USB charging cords or could just use an extra one. So I've found some i-cables and micro USB but I'm trying to figure out a way to brand them to make people think of me whenever they use them. Thoughts/Suggestions are appreciated.
I would think the best way would be the stickers that you wrap around the cable and just stick it to itself, like the way they attach safety info or the way current manufactures put their brands on them. You know what I mean? It looks like a flag on it.. I would think that would be the best way. Any other way would seem too small to me. It would also be cheaper than other ways. I would opt for plastic and not just paper.

I have gotten these before at several events and they can take a sticker. I am sure their are place that will even do it for you. Retractable USB cords.
On a side note, I use them a lot. They have stickers on them from where I got them. And I haven't looked at the stickers once. Couldn't tell you who gave them to me. LOL
Maybe put some kind of branding on the side that faces upwards on the usb cable? I can't be the only one who always tries to put them in upside down, and people would be sure to read the branding every time they use it.

Also if you managed to track down a "gimmick-y" usb cable for cheap enough to use promotion-ally it's definitely worth a little extra cost.
Maybe one of the extra short ones or one that clicks together as a wristband or something that fits on their keys. A private school I checked out gave out keychain flash drives with their name on it, I never went but I'll never forget where I got it since it's always on my keys.

We decided we will be exchanging the cord for the person's email address and answer to 3-4 questions that will allow us to send them a quote. So, once they have the cord, if they ever look at the name it's an added bonus.

Because we are already paying for the branded bags that every attendee will get, this has to be super low cost. I was able to get 100 micro and 100 i-cords for about $120 from China, maybe some of them will work

Hey guys and girls,
I need some help. I friend of mine bring me a dead Kindle Fire HD 7" 3rd Gen (2013) alais SOHO.
This one:
It does nothing, stays black. He was not the rooting guys, he was standard user.
Amazon say just that they can give him a 15% discount for a new device. After 17 month the tablet was dead!
We try to:
-hold specific buttons to get into bootloader or recovery with no success
-load it for a few hours / over night and so on..
-disamble the back-cover to disconnect the accu for some hours
Sadly nothing of that give us success.
So I told him to leave the tablet in my home, perhaps I can try something.
I flash some Amazon FireTV (box1 & sticks) with an emmc-adapter so I was hoping to find some emmc pinout's but found just some for the TALE model not for the SOHO.
So I read something about that Fastboot Cable and I create my own one.
After soldering I test it with my multimeter and it was fine, like this shematic here:
When I connect it a 6-legs electronic element burned and smoked
What went wrong!?
I hope to find that 6-legs electronic element to solder it and to bring this tablet run again. Can you help me to find out wich is the name of that 6-legs electronic element?
Here are some pictures:
And here the mainboard in 2 pictures + emmc chip:
I hope we can fix this together...
Greetings by I_did_it_just_tmrrow
PUSH
Sadly it is still brciked
I checked my fastboot cable again with a multimeter, it seems to be okay.
Can anybody give me some informations.
Greetings by Idijt
im no great electronic tech. but i think tht part that got burnt is a transistor, b4 creating your fastboot cable was the device able to connect to the pc ,installing any drivers! if you have access to your emmc via sd card adaptor then i think the best thing to do is to try and get the parition uploaded to the emmc , then you can work on replacing the transistor,

After I got the not working soho there was never a time that there was a connection to the pc. All button combinations did not work. So I thought the Bootloader could be broken and I create my own fastboot Cable with Bad follows.
I really would like to order the transistor or ic from china but I need a correct Name. Can you help me with that?
I just can read some numbers, the rest is burned. :/
For flashing the partitions again I need to know the right partitions. There are two different Bootloader IMG's and two different recovery IMG's in the stock bin file. Wich IMG should I use. I had another thread open for that topic an hope for some informations.
Greetings by Idijt
For someone planning to make their own fastboot adapter, what may have gone wrong and how can I prevent that happening?

I really dont know. I Check my fastboot Cable twice with a multimeter but at the end it burned this little 8-leg chip.
Can you tell me what is written on your Chip?
Do you own a soho board?
Greetings by Idijt
Sorry, was just given a tate to repair, not a soho. Haven't opened it as it doesn't need opened yet for repairs and I don't want to damage anything so I don't know the chip number either.
May I recommend either looking up high detail teardown pics, or contacting the manufacturers (may not be Amazon).
Here is a Scanned Pic of SOHO Board
I put my SOHO in the scanner and scanned at 1200dpi. This is the best I can do, I shake frequently and getting a good macro shot with the whole board would be impossible for me. Here is a converted jpeg down to around ~3MB from 22MB.Hope this helps, not sure if you still need it.

I hate to be that guy in the Bricked Thread, but OP needs to just say "fug it" and buy a new one. This requires expertise I am not capable of though so maybe there is some easy solution for this.
I've never posted here so go easy. I'm not sure how many people still use the LG Watch Sport. But I have something some may be interested in. I bought my watch on ebay a bit ago and the seller said it was an AT&T demo unit but I didn't really care. So I received it and it came in a clean white box (not a retail box) with everything all packaged nicely like it came from the factory. Well one thing I noticed but never really thought about was that mine came with a USB dongle. I know enough to be dangerous with fastboot and adb but don't have a lot of time to troubleshoot. So I can get it to show up in adb and reboot to the bootloader but I cannot figure out the driver I need for fastboot. In my device manager it just shows up as "Android" with a yellow exclamation because there is no driver. I'm going to attach pictures to prove I'm not crazy (once I figure out how to) and also a close up of the part number in case anyone wants to look for it online.

Bootloader unlocked. Any devs want me to try anything?
Where does the USB dongle connect too?
When you open the back of the watch, there is a small connector near the heart rate sensor and SIM card slot.
That's pretty amazing, a USB dongle has been talked about, but never seen in the wild I believe!
Its been done by WiFi in the past, which is slow.
Unfortunately I seem to be the only one that actually has the cable. I posted some pics in the WearOS subreddit.

Here you go, the image isn't loading for me though... : https://www.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/cf0izv/anyone_with_an_lg_watch_sport_wonder_what_the_usb/
EDIT: From what I remember the circuit looked quite basic, if we had some hi-res photos and if discthrower could do some probing with a multimeter we may be able to replicate it... I think it may just be a simple usb passthrough, I couldn't make out any kind of converter chip on the board but I couldn't make out any chip numbers I'm no expert either.

Finally someone with added value and common sense! Thank you. We're really missing detailed photos, making it won't be that difficult. Till you posted it here, discussions in regard to flashing LG Watch Sport on XDA were highly theoretical or pointless. I tried searching ebay to no avail. I would buy it instantly.

Any chance you could help us try and replicate the cable discthrower ? If we could get some hi-res photos maybe ?

Yes. Thx.
Any ideas Virnik0 ? It would be good to trace the circuit somehow.

Not really. I saw the pictures, but haven't found anythink in auctions like eBay.
