Hello everyone. I've been a long time reader, but never got around to registering. I recently jailbroke my voyage via the serial port running 5.6.5, and I've soldered SMD components of all kinds. I'm not particularly new to soldering or linux commands.
Anyway. About a week ago I saw an almost brand new PW2 on ebay with the box and the $40 amazon case. It was too good of a deal to pass up and won that bad boy for $45 (without special offers, as I later found out!).
Pictures showed it was running 5.4.4.2 but I suppose the seller must have connected it to wifi and it got 5.6.1.0.2 OTA. So in pieces it went and I started wiring up my trusty CP2104 to it. I still don't know how it happened but the TX wire (to RX on the adapter, opposite to the ground point) stuck to my sleeve (idiot mistake, I know
) and I yanked the wire along with the pad off the board. At least I know my joint was decent!
It was working at first, and was giving me output in minicom as it started ( "Welcome to Kindle" - the whole shebang), but then I had to be an idiot...
Wish this wasn't a multi layer board, as I could just solder to a trace. So what do I do now? The RX and ground are fine, but are there any other attachment points for TX - maybe an SMD resistor or something like that?
Thankfully this PW2 isn't bricked, but I still want to proceed with the jailbreak, if possible.
Thanks a million for any help,
Dan
