[Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many]

ok so i'm looking at the FCC photos of the phone, and there's a test
pad that goes underneath the mediatek chip under some shielding, and
when i zoom in there, the connectors are all arranged in a grid, and
i'm wondering if it matches the ball map which if so might let me
label the traces and gain a lot of understanding.
i pursued it because the area seemed like it might be near AE6,
although i don't actually know the orientation of the ball map for
sure or anything. i tried grounding the directly connected test pad
but this did not seem to make the phone show on dmesg.
these photos are still at
https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/2APD4-A95J/5240933.pdf . i'm looking at
photo 5 on page 3, zoomed in on the left half under the removed
shielding above the card slot. i think this might be the back of
mt6739 chip, the front of which i think is shown in photo 8 on page 4.
it's "upside down", the bottom aiming toward the square hole in which
the camera sits.
upon closer inspection it looks like most of these traces that are
organized in a grid are off to the side of the chip, toward the front
of the card slot and the little off-shot notch in the pcb in front of
the test pads. there's another, slightly larger chip here immediately
adjacent to the mediatek chip. i think recalling from the motherboard
repair videos that this might be the emmc, not sure. i wonder if
there's a way to disable it. but grounding that pad didn't seem to do
it.
1929 i think this is the emmc chip in the photo, kmqe60013b-b318:
https://semiconductor.samsung.com/us/mcp/model/lpddr5-umcp/kmqe60013b-b318/
. it's 16GB.
so if i can find any of emmc data, emmc clk, or mt6739 kp0col, then in
theory i can disable the corrupt bootrom and reflash the phone.
i could also try to physically remove the emmc chip ! just to know
there should be a reliable solution here. i guess to do that i would
maybe heat the device in an oven and gently lift it with a precise
tool uncertain

1931 :S

thinking i may not get the phone repaired today but i can try to learn
more about it, and there's a chance i would
something i wasn't prepared qjuite to try was soldering ground to
every test pad in sequence, and seeing if the phone went into brom in
any of those
it's also possible my microusb cable is bad and i should try it with
another device

1933 i see a bunch of camera buses on one side that aren't on the
other, so i assume the pcb is multilayer and it's hard to inspect most
of the traces. don't know well.
1934 holy frack i went to websearch again for "finding kpcol0 or
kp0col or kcol0" and the search results are now empty O_O
it used to give me a lot of results

this seems really unfortunate for repairing mediatek phones.
