[Q] Sensation XE JTAG

[Romansko]

Hello guys,
I want to JTAG my sensation xe and I have few questions that I hope you could help me with.
I want to understand how to connect the phone's motherboard to a power source.
I've seen this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I8bsUgfIlw
and those are my questions:

1. Why another exterior power is needed? why the usb cable connected between motherboard and PC isn't enough?

2. Do I have to connect the motherboard to a power supply or may I just connect the corner pins to the phone's battery?

3. Does the power supply need to have the voltage and the current of a regular Sensation XE Battery?

I just want to see things more cleary, I didn't find my answers on google.
Thank you!

just follow my instruction and you will get your device alive (Like mine)

no need external power

it's verry easy

here
HTC SENSATION XE RIFF JTAG NO EXTERNAL POWER

EDIT:
If you have the JTAG adapter you don't need to solder any thing

and concerning the power supply, you don't need an additional power source, just the usb cable will do the job

I do have the adapter
Do you know why they do use additional power source?

no i don't, but maybe some devices require battery to be on

our htc sensation will turn on just by pluging usb cable
any way you can follow my guide to revive a fully dead htc sensation, other wise you can just do the regular resurrection method
and remember, just use usb cable no external power.
If the jtag won't recognize your phone, just set TCK frequency manualy in 1Mhz
