hai guys,

i have bricked friends' galaxy ace, three buttons combination is not work, i tried usb jig with the 301K resistor, it works, but just turn the lcd light on, also ODIN detected the ACE,

but galaxy ace doesn't show downloading mode, only lcd backlight on, i have been trying reflash the firmware, but i always got

Thanks for sharing!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bisti2004:
Not sure if it works on Galaxy Ace, tried once and gave up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rajayasir:
Nice and useful

Must have for SGS owners and random flashers... will make one for me.

Thanks for information sharing
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Harkkonen:
Hi all, I'm fairly new to all this, anyway I made one today using 2 150k ohm resistors, worked first time, straight into download mode, binary count reset. Good stuff, Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bisti2004:
As long as it's 300k, it works .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] McDown:
Great info. Thanks!

Gonna make myself one just in case.

I bought a bag of resistors a while ago and now is time to put it to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheeWolf:
Wow this looks awesome, just hope I won't have to ever use it.

Will it work even if my phone is working regularly? I can't wait to make one and try but I wouldn't want to try that if my phone works...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DonaldTsang:
very useful, thanks bro

original stock 2.1 rom

ok im now in download mode.. but adb, kies wont find my fone.. although wen i pluged it in the laptop picked it up and installed drivers.. can some one get me the link to put my fone back to the way it come.. i cant find it.. i want the original rom it come with (stock) im not flashing the 2.2 that bricked my fone again thnx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Cyberdyne systems:
Wow this is so awesome, I guess those without the 3 button should make one and try it before we flash anything. I'm waiting to see if the November release Froyo will include this fix first.

One interesting thing is, my phone doesn't appear to have the 3 button mode, tried it quite a few times and it just reboots. But I have got it to go into a Forced upload mode, I have no idea what this is and there is nothing on the screen to manipulate, anyone else got this? Perhaps I should post a new thread about this, as i've not read about it before?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] natao2nv:
do you no were i can get the stock rom and tut ? thnx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tonymy01:
You don't use kies or adb in download mode, this mode is a low level boot loader that only odin can talk to.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] natao2nv:
i cant find the right rom .. and odin wont flash anything :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reschi85:
wow...this really works and it is pretty simple and extremely cheap too.

the only thing is that you should really try not to touch the pins and the resistors while inserting the usb plug, because it won't work otherwise.

thanks so much man!!!

samfirmware.com for roms.

Read the big sticky FAQ for good directions on 'how to'.

JG4 on samfirmware.com was basically what mine came back from Australian Samsung Service with.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atlaswingpasaway:
i've just discovered this thread. thanks to all the engineers/technicians who found a way to fix the brick.

my phone is a samsung vibrant and it is hardware locked, so when i bricked it by unplugging it while odin was flashing, i couldnt fix it anymore.

i flashed a Bionix ROM with Voodoo before that. (i messed up with disabling it)

my questions are:

1. aside from buying from a store, where else can i find 301k resistors (or 3x100k + 1k)?

2. any microUSB cable right?

3. IF i ever get to Download mode, i just take out the JIG, then plug a normal microUSB cable while Odin is running on my PC?

4. i also get the PHONE--!--PC logo, when i do the 3button combo, it turns black, and goes back to the same logo. everytime. so, can i use any ROM like Bionix or CyanogenMod, or it has to be the stock flashable ROM or firmware when finally using Odin?

thank you so much, on my way to buy a new mini soldering gun! i broke my other one. lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shrooms90:
First of all thx to the one who figured that out. Works.perfectly:-)

Now to ur questions:

1. U can find them in all sorts of electronic devices but dont think its worth to spend hours looking for one. I just boght a 300k and a 1k resistor and a paid 0.60 chf (about 0.40£) so they are really cheap to buy.

2. Yes any micro usb. I used the charger from the x10 i sold and it works perfectly.

3. Thats right. I would recommend u to prepare odin (insert pit,pda....) before u plug ur phone so u just have to click on start when ur phone's recogniced. (dont forget to check repartition if u bricked ur phone before)

4. It should work with any rom but to be on.the save side id flash the stock rom first after a brick screen
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atlaswingpasaway:
thanks for the answers.

anyway, this will work with samsung vibrants/captivates/fascinates right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shrooms90:
I have no idea, i cant see why it shouldnt, but i can only tell u that it works on the international i9000, cause i have nothing else to test it. But if u have some spare time u can read some older posts in this threat (i think things like that have already been mentioned) or just wait for someone else who knows
[Galaxy S I9000 General] richan90:
For people who don't have a soldering kit, just holding the resistor in place would probably work. It shouldn't really affect the resistance because your putting your hands in parallel with the resistor, and your own resistance is near infinite.

Getting a cheap breadboard would probably work too. Just other options haha

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atlaswingpasaway:
ill still try though. ok, ill keep you posted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shrooms90:
It will defenetely not work and if it does its just luck... Simpelest way to see why is when u mesure resistance using an ohmmeter. U need a strong connection between the clambs of the ohmmeter and the resistor orhewise u wont even get close to the real value, since the connection itself has a tiny resistance but id its not connected right the resistance of the connection is between 1ohm and infinite. (sorry if u cant understand what im trying to say, english isnt my first language and i didnt know all the words so i had to explain around it). The second problem is that if u have 2 parallel resistors the formula to calculate the total resistance is (R1*R2)/(R1+R2)=Rtotal

And actually u calculate a human body (from one hand to the other) as 1k. So if u hold it eith ur fingers the resistance recognized by the phone is:

3000ohms*1000ohms/ (3000ohms+1000ohms)= 3000k/ 4k = 750ohms

So far away from what u need
[Galaxy S I9000 General] natao2nv:
WOOOO!!

ok ive made the jig and it worked couldnt believe it thankyou to everyone that has supported this and thnx soo much to TONYMY01 who spent hours with me on msn getting my samsung galaxy s back to stock with 3 button fix :D

samsung told me they would fix it for $49.50 aud and 2 weeks would be done soo $49.50 will be donated too him for his time effort and help its great to know theres pplz out there to help you BTW any one on the gold coast/brisbane that does not wish to make this jig come use mine anytime im in such a happy mood haha
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shrooms90:
Lol but u didnt really tell ur provider, that u bricked it urself? I already got it fixed by samsung twice now and i just said i did a factory reset and the brickscreen was the result. Well the second time i got a sticky note with it, saying i should stop experimenting with my phone cause samsung isnt willing to pay for it anymore. So its just the right time someone came up with a solution so i can fix it myself. Now it just have to be proven that it works when i brick my recovery again
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atlaswingpasaway:
canada is such a sucky place to live if you're an electrical engineer.

i almost can't find circuit parts store except online... :(

i'll look around the house if we have some 301k's around here
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
there are several in downtown area

and a few uptown near victoria park / steeles area

and you can always go to Radio Shack (The Source)

unfortunately most Radio Shack are not even stocking that kind of stuff anymore, because they figure no body likes to play with that kind of stuff any more

which is not true i'm still a hobbyist and i like to play and repair broken electronics every now and then, as it is also part of my job fixing dead computers, which most people doesn't care any more they just go out buy a new one if the old one is dead.

i repair them for the sake of saving planet earth, and recycle all the repairable and still functional equipments
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fir3b0x:
Lifesaver!

Works perfectly after the JM1 bootloader broke my 3 button download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] michael_gmr:
Generally speaking, th seller will give this JIG to you as a accessory in China's Taobao shop which is like eBay.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] emilcioran99:
Today with a friend that is electronics engineer try to make a jig for an SGS 2.

Because everithing works well we thought it's time to play a bit with it and see what are the limits on it working and erase the counter.

Instead of resistences we installed a resistor with minimum resistance 200K and maximum 400K.

Then started from 300K to go up/go down with one K.

Jig worked/reset the counter from 282K to 319K.

So jig's tolerance allowed and that is working is not 5% (as someone wrote on the thread here) but by 7-8%.

In conclusion: a jig with resistors capacityes between 282K and 319K should work/reset the counter without any problems.:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ppeterpp:
Jig working perfect with i9000, i9100, S5860 Ace too :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rebellos:
5% is tolerance guaranteed by FSA manufacturer. Higher tolerances doesn't have to happen on all chipsets, but they usually does. ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] pvandenh:
Hi. Hoping someone can help in here.

I got a SGS 1 (my brothers old phone, out of warranty and he just updated) on the weekend, and managed to root it and load CM7 not probs. When I went to use ROM Manager to run an initial backup (for safety), it got as far as rebooting into recovery mode then stopped. So I turned it off and back on, and it started playing up from there.

So I reflashed a stock froyo rom which worked, but as soon as I tried to use CWR to reflash CM7 again the internal drive started playing up (wouldn't load CM7 or boot etc). So the 3 button combo is now not working, and now I am stuck on a boot loop (up to the initial Galaxy GT-I9000 screen, then reboot continuosly). As I couldn't get into either recovery or download modes, I invested in pre-built jig for a couple bucks. Now I just got the jig today, and when I plug it in (while device is off), it does nothing. Zip. If I touch any 3 button combo while the jig is connected, I can get into the FORCED UPLOAD MODE, but that doesn't help (Odin see's it in the mode, but won't load anything).

So, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this thing?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xaviersmile:
Hello guys...I would like to ask for your help...I think I bricked my samsung galaxy S model: SHW-M110s...If I turn ON my phone it display's "UPGRADE" and the samsung mobile website below...

I can't make it to download or recovery mode anymore...I've tried the homemade JIG, about 302k ohms to force download but it will not go to download mode. The "UPGRADE" screen will display...

Anybody can help me with this one guys..? Hope you can..I really need your help please...

Please Advice....

Hi,

I almost read all the pages on this thread, I did all the mentioned ways but no luck so far.

My phone is galaxy s gti9003. I don’t know if there is difference between i9003 and i9000. I made my own jig dongle (if you think it’s necessary I can upload its photos but I checked most of photos and YouTube videos to make sure I’m doing it right,) and tried many times but no luck :( please help me, your help will be appreciated.

Hey.

Ok I've managed to fix a bricked phone with the black screen of death using a jig. I've used adb to get into download mode as well. I've fixed a phone that was semi bricked and stuck on loop. However I am so stuck right now I just don't know what to do. :confused:

Was flashing my mates phone (done this several times to my phone) using odin 1.7. Was flashing it to Ficeto's JVT base rom. Anyway froze half way through flash. Let it sit there for hours and still frozen. Unplugged phone. HAD NO CHOICE.:eek: Now only the phones menu and back buttons light up. I can't use a jig or adb to get into download mode as this doesn't work. Also the down+home+power button are not working.:(

Have attached a picture. Open to suggesion but any help would be appreciated.:o

Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roundbelly:
I think the bootloader is gone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sindahouse:
Thank you Roundbelly. What do you do when the bootloader is dead?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sindahouse:
Here is the update. I've mananged to get the phone into download mode using the jig first then putting in battery. :D However no matter how many times I've flashed in Odin and I've tried several kernals, flash always freezes at

<ID:0/010> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/010> factoryfs.rfs

:mad:

I've checked several forums where ppl have updated usb drivers. Other have tried other kernals. I've done both of these, still no luck. I even tried to flash the Aries_P-SBL.tar file to unbrick the phone, with no luck. :confused:

Is there anything I can do to fix the bootloader with having to rip out that OM5 resister in the phone?? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sindahouse:
Solved it!!! It works!!! :DThe damn thing works!!! After playing with this thing until 5 am.

Tried one final flash in the morning. Figured I'll download the stock country/provider kernal and flash the phone. Can't believe my eyes. It actually flashed!!!:eek:

If anyone out there is freezing during odin flash, see if you can find your stock country/provider kernal and flash it with that. It may not be the fastest kernal but a working phone is better than an expensive paperweight. :)

Cheers all :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheeWolf:
I have a question - does using the JIG when the phone is perfectly fine allowed? I bought a JIG (didn't get it yet) and want to see if it works.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pvandenh:
Yep. No problems at all. It should just force boot the device into download mode, like the 3 button method. Some people use the jig on working devices to remove the yellow triangle from boot. Doesn't harm the device to use it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheeWolf:
Thanks, but what yellow triangle are you talking about?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonboyuk:
It's what you see if you use a custom kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheeWolf:
I'm using a custom ROM with semaphore kernel and still don't see any yellow triangle. Where is it? When does it appear?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] midas5:
You see the triangle sometimes when a flash fails.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tzh2231:
Hi jutezak did this cable work for you?

I found my "spare" micro USB cable has only 4 pins, missing th 4th pin.

If this cable does have 5 pins I'd order it too.

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

No go for me, I guess your room is very moist and the wet air resistance between the two USB pins just happened to be 301k om...

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

My tmobile vibrant is very dead, no response to any button, no response to charger/usb plug in, no response to anything so far. This is after I mistakenly used ODIN to put on a non-vibrant ROM from samfirmware...

Is this condition fixable using this jig thing? I have made a hand-held loop of 301k and tried to touch the pins with no luck, I guess next step is try solder it on a plug.

But before diving into all this soldering business, just want to make sure the phone is fixable condition.

Anyone had success with same situation?

If someone have a confirmed good working jig that I can borrow/buy, please PM me, thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madcatmk2:
tzh2231, the jig is not meant to work with an SGS like yours or mine, which don't even turn on. Looks like we're out of luck. I suppose jtag is the only solution that works in this case. Probably not worth it to pay for that. I really don't know what to do either. :/

Edit: I did try the jig by the way, but I was given the wrong resistors from the shop I went to; so not a chance. Ridiculous.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tzh2231:
too bad... I thought I saw plenty people say they got their vibrant working by this? is not vibrant the same as our T959?

hmm just double checked, mine says "SGH-T959" if that matters, so mine is not a SGS, anyone know whether this SGH-T959 can use this jig method?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madcatmk2:
You're gonna have to google around for that.

However, I just read of someone who the jig worked for even though his phone wouldn't turn on at all. I'm off to the electronics store in a few minutes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tzh2231:
search "301k jig" on the evil bay. only $1.95 shipped, unbelievable, only thing is it may take a while to ship as it is from HongKong.

I have a SGH-T959 that goes to the brick screen no matter what method I use to get into download mode. I have tried every key combination probably ever suggested and finally tried the jig (verified with multimeter), but it also put the phone in the brick screen.

I don't even know if I am soft or hard brick at this point. Any ideas?

USB Jig

I have the same problem with my Galaxy S I9000.

Typ this in at Youtube: Samsung Galaxy S Download Mode USB Jig.

I am gonna try it in a couple of days when I've received the USB Jig.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] junior.zuconelli:
In my case, my GSII do not care, does not enter download mode and not receiving a signal from the computer USB. That is, there is no sign of life. In this case, JIG work?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Caesarea038:
Thanks...I am gonna try this when needed!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RThW:
If I could have the attention of all people interested:

You can get the same result as with a 301k ohm resistance using something like a 100k ohm 200k ohm resisance and using a potentiometer to increase the value.

You'll obviously need a multimeter to do the trick. I put two 100ohm (not 100k ohm) resistances wrapped in transparent tape to have better access to the pins. You could as well use the wires, but I wanted to avoid loops.

Work with the potentiometer while you have the multimeter connected (in parallel, not in series).

As soon as I get 8 posts I'll link you the images of how I did it. Request them by pm if you need a visual reference.

A few weeks ago I went to this electronics shop and asked for 100k ohm resistances, but the slightly retarded woman that went to get the resistances gave me 100ohm ones, even though I specifically requested 100k ohm. Trusting her I headed back home (after a 40 minute ride, and another 40 min ride), and with a smile on my face went to try the resistances, only to find they were 100ohm xD :mad:

Finally I got a bit creative and tried my best.

Jig from Dealextreme

If somebody doesnt want to build a Jig himself, you can buy a Jig from Dealextreme for $1.60

SKU: 93514

I just bought one of these last week. Maybe I am gonna post a Review for you guys.
