AHi,

    I have a bricked GTA02v7 and the Debug Board v3.

I left it for quite some time and now I would like to
revive it.

I think there is a problem with the NAND Bad Block Table.

But also could be I have flashed something wrong in the past.

Anyway.

The phone boots, but the display never activates, and the dfu-utils
doesn't see the attached gta02.

Using the debug board I can see the serial console spitting bootloaders
messages.

The NOR bootloader (I'm quite sure I never flashed it, so it should be
the same shipped with the phone) says:


######### BEGIN console output ################
\


######### END console output ################



Also I cannot get to the uboot prompt (the NOR one or the RAM one), where I 
would issue the
various "nand" commands to erase nand and recreate the bad block table.

from wiki this should be the sequence:

nand bad
nand scrub
nand createbbt
dynpart
dynenv set u-boot_env
saveenv



Can anybody help me? I don't know how to get to the prompt of uboot.
Or maybe there is another solution to clear the nand and recreate
the bbt.


Greetings.

Leonardo
I did something like this years and years ago. I broke the screen on my GTA02 and SDG systems sent me a 'broken' gta02 so I could use the screen. I played a little with the broken one and found that the bbt had almost every sector in it.

I was able to rebuild the bbt and I still use that gta02 when my gta04 isn't working well.

Sorry I can't remember the specifics, but I know I was able to do it without a debug board and almost certainly from the NOR u-boot.

I vaguely remember a u-boot option to switch console output between serial and USB. If serial (debug board) isn't working for you, maybe try USB?

Good luck,

Ben
