I have had several ATV1200 and put on the linux build with varying degrees of success.
However I find myself with 2 bricked ATV1200s and I need to "bridge the pins" on them to bring them back to life. I have seen the picture earlier in this thread showing which pins to bridge.
Where would I be able to get the cable to do this job? Earlier links to ebayer sellers show the products no longer available, and it may well be these cables are fairly generic but being a beginner to electronics I'm just not sure.
Any help anyone can provide would be great.
Incidentally my build of choice is the linux Frodo..... when I put Gotham on my DTS surround doesn't work..... but I'm happy with Frodo.
The cable is not needed most of the time. Making a bootable SD card usually does the trick. Problem is once you brick in linux it gets rather complicated to recover it. If I remember correctly someone mailed be a box that had this problem. Going back to Android 4.1 and then to linux did the trick but took me hours to figure it out. But at that point the NAND has suffered so much it may not even work correctly.
Once you get back to Frodo apply my patch at the link below. It will get you to Gotham 13.0 busy box. It is an uncompleted build but maybe it will work for you.

Alternately, you can take the patch above and replace XBMC with XDA's Gotham 13.2 on an external hard drive and have the system boot up from the HDD. Gives you better read and write. I tried using an SSD but doesn't work as good but a mechanical HDD works wonders. See a quick demo:
