[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
I'm seeing lots of people on these fora either saying they're getting a USB jig or advising somebody to get a USB jig to fix a problem they're having with firmware. I just wanted to take the time to explain a few things.

It is true that a USB jig was needed to get the phone into download mode with the i9000 (Galaxy S) and all it's variants, this was because download mode wasn't freely accessible and required special hardware (The USB jig simulates what the Samsung programmer does). It appears as if Samsung has dropped this policy and on our devices, the i9100 (Galaxy S2), download mode is freely accessible by using the key-combo at boot.

What Samsung has done instead is implement a counter which counts the times you flash an INSECURE kernels onto the device. Insecure means anything which isn't official and didn't come from Samsung. So if you flash an insecure ROM onto your device this counter goes and, if you then break your device and bring it in for servicing Samsung can see you flashed an insecure ROM onto your device. What the USB jig does on our devices is reset this counter, nothing more nothing less.

So onto the important part.

If you can't get into download mode by using the key-combo the USB jig won't work either. The USB jig is not a magical device which will fix your bricked unit with fairy dust, also it will not allow you to access an ultra secret menu which will allow you to debrick your device.

This might change with future updates to the bootloader but current it's like this.

I wanted to share this information because I'm seeing too much people placing their hopes on an USB jig, wishing it will allow them to debrick their device. This isn't so. Our devices are pretty idiot proof and real hard to brick. Unless you did something really dumb download mode is always available and this will allow you to debrick your device. If download mode is a no go, then debricking at home is a no go too.

So remember, no download mode through key-combo equals no download mode through USB jig which in turn equals to no debricking at home.
[Galaxy S II General] atlaswingpasaway:
I am about to buy a SGS2 and i have a self-made jig that saved both my SGS1's numerous times before. I will try it anyway to confirm if it does or does not.

EDIT:

also, im not sure about my argument but these jigs are made with mostly electrical engineering in mind, NOT software engineering. the self-made jigs

are made of soldered resistors (301k total resistance) onto a microUSB's 4th and 5th pins to sort of SHORT the microUSB port of the i9000s making

the phone boot on download mode (which is activated by a switch once the SHORT is done). i have ZERO experience with the i9100s so i can't prove if my statement is true for i9100s as well.
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
This post is dumb and you should feel dumb.

OP is 100% right, if you can't access download mode through the keycombo a USB jig will not work.

If you want to confirm it, make sure to flash some SGS1 files to your SGS2 and pull the battery in the process, then see if your magical USB jig will save you.
[Galaxy S II General] Shanakin:
Download mode was infact freely available on many SGS I9000s without the jig. However a notable portion have a fault with the bootloader. Samsung (Canada I think?) did release an official patch for this I believe.

The common 301k resistor jig, does interact with a micro controller, that can not be overwritten and can force download mode if that part (download mode) of the bootloader is not damaged, even if the button controls were. The JIG was a proven method of repairing the device in some but not all cases of devices that no longer responded to the 3 button combination.

Assuming the SGS2 uses the same system (which to my knowledge it does, but I haven't looked into it extensively), then the 301k jig may not be a blanket solution but should not be discounted as useless.

EDIT: Some of the OP is outright fallacious when dealing with the S1 but I don't have much to say about its effectiveness on the S2
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Even if it does not boot into download mode on a phone that fails to answer the key combo its a useful tool at the cheap price to remove yellow triangle and rom count .

[Galaxy S II General] Idan73:
All these problems with bricked phones can easily be avoided by repackaging leaked firmwares to not update included bootloaders unless absolutely neccessary. So remove sbl.bin and boot.bin and flash away and you'll never not be able to get to download mode.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] uppon2:
OP: LOL! Only a small portion of SGS 1 handsets had the bootloader issue most of the time you could enter recover/download mode with 3 button combo. There was a fault with many batches of SGS 1 phones that could not boot into recovery/download modes. In some occasions after flashing new firmwares you might face the same issue and the only way to get into download mode would be through ADB if the handset was still on or with a JIG cable if the phone was off. Plus the JIG cable now resets the flash stats and yellow triangle so I am happy to still have it around for my SGS 2

Idan73: param.lfs can also create a dead phone if interrupted during flash
[Galaxy S II General] drspikes:
Lol.

Not completely correct. My phone wouldn't stay off due to a dodgy usb port long enough to do the three button combo. Pulled battery, jig inserted, battery inserted, into download mode.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
I think the vast majority of people on here know what the jig is for. People get them to reset the flash counter, not to go into download mode.
[Galaxy S II General] lufc:
Hell for a couple of Quid its handy to have around, i used it to get rid of the triangle 2 secs done good money well worth spent:)
[Galaxy S II General] caanda45:
Oh My Yellow Triangle!

Same here used it on my Captivate as it was hard to get into download mode, on my SGS2 it is convenient with the added bonus of getting rid of the yellow triangle (which is the main use now)!!
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
There is a few things not right in the OP:

1) "insecure kernel": an insecure kernel is a kernel that runns ADB with root privs's, has nothing to do with who made it. "secure kernels" run adbd with only user privs.

2) the counter counting: has nothing to do with secure/insecure kernels! The counter counts how may not-Samsung-signed (=custom) kernels have been flashed

3) unbrick: the SGS2 has 2 secondary bootloaders, there's a theory that the JIG may cause the phone to boot into the backup when the current active one is corrupted

@OP: please check your facts before making such a thread, thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Also OP, you're not right. I've been able to force download mode on SGS II that wouldn't enter into download mode with the 3 button combo after a failed flash using a Jig and reflashed the firmware. So you should make stupid statements without checking your facts.
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
I don't know what the situation was in Australia but here the bootloader was locked through an update. Download mode was available at first but was later on disabled. I'm not sure which specific update it was I think it came after the 2.1 update or something.

Did I go into details about insecure kernels? Without going into too much tehcnical detail I think I explained it quiet well, don't you think?

Please open your SGS2 and point me to the physical location of this second chip? Or else point me to the locations within the PIT file? Or anything that might even hint at the presence if this secondary loader.

Make me a video then. I'll even ship you a JIG. Brick your device and recover it with a JIG. I dare you!

That has nothing todo with this issue, you said it yourself, dodgy USB port. Hardware failures are not included.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
No, I don't

Partitions 2 and 3, SBL1 and SBL2 respectively, that's the Secondary BootLoaders. Two of them, one active, one backup in case of corruption of active one.
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
Everybody has an opinion.

Except for the fact that SBL stands for Secure Bootloader, you might be right.... oh no you are not! SBL1 and 2 are just a safeguard. When you're updating the SBL it doesn't flash to the active but to the other one and once verified as being operational it's marked as being active.

You can read all about it here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104139

Doing a wrong flash to one of the SBL's will still allow you to access download mode through the key-combo.

/edit:

Oh btw, just so you know, the PIT file suggestion was a trick. :) The phone will always be able to access download mode unless you destroy your partitioning by pulling the battery mid process or using a wrong pit file, this is the only way to brick your device.

If you do either and destroy your partitioning then those SBL's wont help you either. The only way to have a secondry bootloader is by having a secondary flash chip on the device. And guess what? There is none!
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
OK, I stand corrected on that one.

Doesn't change the fact the original post is flawed and wrong at many things as well.
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
Boohoo cry me a river! Point of the post was to debunk the jig debrick myth. If you want to get into side issues you'll find your livingroom wall will be more interested. If you want to claim these side issues as being many, well then you apparently can' t count because it's just one, the secure kernel thing.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
A bit agressive, aren't we?
[Galaxy S II General] pplcallmeGOD:
Has anyone here sent their phone back to Samsung for repair after reseting the flash counter with a Jig, and have received service no questions asked? The reason I ask is that I heard talk that there is another internal flash counter that only Samsung technicians can access so that even if you reset the main flash counter, there is another they can access to double check.
[Galaxy S II General] linuxmonkey2011:
This forum should be locked as its starting to be a bit off-topic...the OP's views are somewhat valid however flawed. I think he bricked his phone permanently and could not recover using a jig...now thats my view on that.

If an admin could lock this it be appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] caanda45:
I think chainfire has also mentioned that in one of his threads on a second counter.....interesting.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:

[Galaxy S II General] uppon2:
I have sent my phone in twice now once for the yellow tint and random rebooting (I had plenty of flash counts and they didn't say a thing)

The second time was a bit trickier but I had a flash go bad for the first time ever 2 weeks ago. Odin crashed during a firmware flash so I left it hourglassing overnight without any progression I tried restarting, resetting and even reopening Odin without any luck I had to unplug and hope for the best. JIG/3BR would not force DL/REC - I could not switch the phone on at all it was like it had no battery. I even tried my spare battery. No luck. I was actually returning my handset for repair through my carrier vodafone cover me insurance for this reason here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15683149&postcount=22

So I sent them a bricked device with a cracked screen and they sent me a brand new unit but I did have to pay the full excess. BUT however I shouldn't have got a replacement due to this but for some reason I did. Insurance is only for accidental physical damage or unprovoked theft. I got lucky :)
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
Nope.

Way to go, complain about OT by starting an OT... See the paradox? Nice! Try using the report button next time maybe that will get the attention of the mods. But where exactly did it go OT according to you? At the point where I had to slap a few people around just because they we're talking out there arses and helping to propegate the myth?

Oh and pray tell, how do you know me and my personal experience? Have you been stalking me?

I don't think there is such a thing. I haven't seen something like that in the main flash and unless it's hidden somewhere in the CPU (which I highly doubt) it's not there.
[Galaxy S II General] tshoulihane:
Interesting - so you found the memory location of the flash counter so it can be written from a tool? How did you confirm that there is no 2nd counter which isn't displayed by the bootloader?
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
False.

Why are you so aggressive?
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
Obviously I haven't decrypted the EFS but I have been trying to make memory dumps and as far as I can tell, when you insert the jig, all that happens is that the EBL jumps to a specific location which starts download mode with the reset instruction. The counter itself is in the EFS and is not available to the OS. Having a decryption key to the EFS will allow you to write to it and change many low level variables, like the IMEI number.

Not aggressive, just that I hate people who don't take the time to make proper posts. Like for instance, just write the word "False" without any argumentation or explanation to what is false.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
Well the jig does get the phone into download mode (even if the keys also do that), so what you said is false. :)
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Maybe because he knows that no one is really paying attention to him, and he thinks that who's shouting the loudest is the most right.... :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
Like I said before, prove me wrong then. Make me a video, brick your device in such a way that it won't go into download mode through key-combo and unbrick it with a jig. I dare you.

You again? What your intellectual approach didn't help and thus you have to attack me on a personal base? If I'm wrong, prove me wrong!
[Galaxy S II General] Rytkonen:
Or maybe you should brick your device and prove that the jig won't recover it? You made the thread so prove your point.
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
I actually do not have to. Use the search function to find several threads of people who repartitioned their devices with a wrong PIT file (which is the only way to brick this device) and the jig didn't help. Apart from this scenario, download mode is always available.

The custom flash counter is NOT in EFS, its not even on the EMMC flash, its on the other flash IC with the EBL, IBL and PBL.
[Galaxy S II General] poulsky:
That video is useless in debunking GIR's debunk.
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
I was wondering about that. Thanks for clearing that up. I couldn't find the reset instructions, so what you're saying is that the EBL does an onchip reprogramming instead of the SBL doing an external programming.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Hm, just wondering: Why does heavy corruption of the "main flash" kill downloadmode if those bootloaders are on a completely differnt flash storage?

And what about the idea of booting from external SD card?
[Galaxy S II General] mathieulh:
SBL stands for secondary bootloader.... You don't know anything, you should keep quiet and stop worsening your case.
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
Because those only contain hardware specific low lvl instructions to get the hardware going and the SBL contains the actual OS loader and the download mode loader. This is because Samsung uses the same hardware for different platforms, ie Symbian, Bada, Winmo. The code which allows for OS specific loading and flashing is in the SBL. This is the only place where a user can destroy his/her device and thus it has a failsafe.

Nomatter how you choose to call it, doesn't change the operation principle.

It did however make me duck across to eBay and grab a jig. $8 US delivered which is about 12 cents Australian at the moment :p
[Galaxy S II General] Odia:
The SBLs are still on EMMC which I think you are refering to as main flash.
[Galaxy S II General] arunsen:
Lol jokes aside, I grabbed mine for $8 AUD off a guy in Melbourne.

As someone else said, to get rid of the counter not brick recovery...
[Galaxy S II General] Odia:
With respect, but do we really need to get pedantic over TLAs, some say SBL is secondary some say is secure, some say PBL is primitive, some say primary, but we all know what each other are talking about.

I have to say in this case, I do agree with you since in the code it says:-

"Secondary Bootloader v3.1 version."

but since EMMC is used Samsung had to also include an additional bootloader which I call EBL, because its encrypted, you can see him at the top of the boot.bin file and he is encrypted with AES, I have the decrypted version and there is no indication to his real name, so as indicated here:-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104139

there are 4 other bootloaders before SBL is called so can he really be called secondary ;)

only my 2 cents and as said, it is with respect.
