NAND Flash Chips on D Series

Hi there. Since my board is bricked. I inspecting board more for revive it back.
Board belongs to UA40D6000.

So I identified 2 flash chip at D series HW. One of them is SDIN502-2G Flash which is used in Amazon Kindle.
This chip used as main program storage, holds /dev/mmcblk0 device.

And other one is Samsungs Flash NAND chip, KFG1GN6W2D is used for /dev/stl0 device. This devices 12.th partition (/dev/stl/12) mounted as /mtd_rwarea.
I needed to change this chip content. Probbly by (un)soldering.

Decode: It's Samsung OneNAND (KF), Single chip (G), 1Gbit (1G), Technology (N), x16 Organization (6), ???Volt (W), 2KB Page architecture (2), Version d ? (D)
-HIB6 = Package format ? (H), Industrial Temp (I) , Include Bad Block product line (B), 66Mhz (6)
Re-programing this chips will solve the my bricked TV problem.

If you have any datasheet belong to those chips. I will be happy..

Erdem, here is also stl0/13, which as you know is... mtd_exe...

Then our only target is KFG1GN6W2D, since both start.sh and rc.local kept here.

Anyone know how could we handle this chips via JTAG.

Also heard that soldering BGA's is a problematic due old solders make noise. After removal chips balls became defected. They needed to be re-balled for re-install.
Re-Balling machines are too expensive. But I heard there is another cheap solution for that.

And also since this PCB's are lead-free, unsoldering the chips require more heat.
This heat also hazardous to chip. I think I let this soldering job to specialist :-)

Before I needed to inspect what I could make via JTAG ports.

Why unsoldering?
If I recall correctly, there are TWO JTAG ports on the board!
By them you can read/write both flashes!

Yes? How to do that? Could you please be more detail.
What hardware is needed, what software, connection points and etc etc.

If you said A, please tell B :)

Also, where is the second jtag port?

Maybe I'm wrong but I see 6 holes oooooo and next to them other 5 holes ooooo.

Also, the two connectors at the top of the board (sometimes the connectors are not soldered) should give the same functionality.

They look more like I2C EEPROM serial interfaces to me. Both of them. Probably no relation to JTAG and/or OneNAND flash whatsoever.
Picture is a little blurry; can you post pin description in text form?

Yep those are i2c for the serial eeprom located right by the pads. The jtag pads are up next to the socket for the CI adapter (on my D7000 mainboard that is).

Sorry.. I can't post better pictures, I made them in a hurry and I should open the tv to make new ones.
Yes.. they look like i2c bus to me, they have SDL SCL SDA lines labelled.

The jtag picture is also blurry but "almost readable":

Labels should be:

PLD_GND
PLD_TDO
PLD_TCK
PLD_TMS
PLD_TDI
