Hacking Would my idea work? (need your advice)

@mattytrog How come the missing pads remove data from the USB? Are there VIAS in the pads?

Best guess:

The ruined pads are USB2.

The USB3 Ultra high-speed pads should be intact. It is down to the controller to decide if it wants ECHI/XHCI etc etc.

Why don't you just fix the USB port?

Very doubtful. But if Hekate can completely ignore TrustZone then maybe? Never tried it. But don`t hold your breath.

DUDE I LOVE YOU IT FUCKING WORKED, RESTORED BOOTROM FROM MY OTHER SYSTEM AND NOW THE OLD ONE IS WORKING, I CANT BELIVE IT!!!

Just take your time. Stick the wires down before you solder them. Bit of strain relief. Then just persuade them into place with tweezers and solder.

Ill try that, thank you!

Still, swapping nands is not exactly what I want to do, I have a nand backup of the original emmc i was hoping that maybe i could restore it with the working system

I think that would work, it's just a raw restore so the encryption doesn't matter.
Edit: Guess it worked

Glad you got it working

Means less pressure on you for attempting the repair of those pads now

 

[solitaire4eva]

the d pads on the board are gone, the port is fine but i messed the data pads installing the trinket m0, so i cant just change the usb

Good luck with the repair. That one paragraph right there put the end of the thought of me installing one of them things my self lol.
