Such cable can be used to restore flash memory content after destroying it.</p>
<p>For all models newer then collie (<span class="caps">SL</span>-5000/5500) there is a hope still as they are much harder to brick. User can enter “Diagnostics menu” via magic keycombo (which usually is holding “D” and “P” during Power key on boot) and then use “<span class="caps">NAND</span> Restore” function (<span class="caps">NAND</span> Backups are available in few places — <a href="http://www.trisoft.de/">TRIsoft</a> is one of them).</p>
<p>Anyway below you should see schematics of such cable — taken from collie service manual. On Zaurus side you have to use Hoshiden <span class="caps">TCX3106</span> connector (docs were available on Sharp Deutschland website) and is available for few <span class="caps">USD</span> in Five Star Associates. How to use cable? Do not ask me — I never had to use <span class="caps">JTAG</span>.</p>
