As for the htc, i taked la look at that website, you should call them and ask if they can replace your chip and the price for that (if the price is more than half the price of the phone, it's not worth it).
You also should know that it may not be a problem of the emmc chip, you said that flashing Jtag gives you memory i/o errors; that can be caused by the phone not communicatting with the emmc becase of damaged circuits. Search if anyone else has this problem, just to be sure is the emmc and not something else.
Okay, first of all, a new micro usb port won't stay in place, I don't know why, but after soldering, it's very sensitive and won't stay in place. So no, I will better have a fresh reballed gsm chip...

As for the HTC, on that memory chip is also the Bootloader. Starting up the phone, opens up the bootloder, fastboot and sd flasher. But they just open up, and then you try to use them to really flash your phone, it gives you write errors. So I can read watever is left on that memory, but I can't write anything.

After checking other user experience, I saw that the memory is the problem, and replacing it solved the problem (the new chip is already programmed, so no further JTag-ing or USB Flashing / Formatiing is needed)
