Finding the Serial Port / UART #7
Comments
After verifying that the NX300 uses a TI TSU61111a USB multiplexer, and that it supports resistor-based port switching, I was brave enough to attach a USB-OTG-UART cable, and tested 150K and 620K resistor values, which should trigger UART and BOOT-UART modes, respectively. Unfortunately, there was no serial output on either. However, the Linux kernel on the NX300 reported the following in dmesg, when attaching/removing the cable:
This is output by |
I also tried this approach on the NX500, but it doesn't even put anything into dmesg :'( |
OTG cables have the ID pin internally shorted to GND so regardless what resistor you put, it won't change impedance on that pin. You need to start with a normal cable and put the resistor between ID and GND pin. |
Sorry for the confusion. This is not a real OTG cable of course, it is a micro-USB connector soldered to a breakout board, with actual resistors connected. It was prepared by a friend as I totally lack soldering skills, so I can't change the resistor values besides the two I tried. |
@vasile-gh hey, sorry for annoying. I've tried to put 150K resistor between GND and ID pin to start uart serial debugging for my device (samsung galaxy star gt-s5282) but it doesn't work and I even tried to use jig dongle to enter my phone to download mode and it didn't work. I think the problem is with ID pin on my phone so is there anything I can do do check where is the problem ? (btw, the phone is fully working and it can be charged and connected as mtb too) |
wanna get to bootloader? Use ODIN instead. |
@Nikolas-LFDesigns use odin to debug the phone ??? can you send me a link to start with ? |
@Lehkeda well, that's a better definition of intent, ok.. |
@Nikolas-LFDesigns thanks for help :) |
The Bootloader performs logging over the serial port, and allows limited interactive access. Therefore it would be great to locate and document the serial port.
Possible serial port locations:
There is an external shutter using the USB pins in a way comparable to (2), so chances are that a different resistor value will actually provide UART access.
A brave person is needed to either risk their camera by trying this out or to disassemble it and make high-res photos of the PCB. Moderate-quality pictures exist, but don't allow to identify all chips, especially an eventually existing USB multiplexer.
