Usb jig and download mode fix *Walkthrough*

Okay, I have now been able to get my phone to work with download mode via the button combo method. :)

Here is the process I have gone through to get my phone back to normal:

This is for phones who are stuck on the at&t boot screen loop and do not have download mode working

1) Follow the instructions on this site to create a usb jig

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819551

2) After you have got a working usb jig, plug it in your phone. Make sure to removed the sim card and sd card.

3) The phone should now enter download mode (yellow triangle, android guy with a shovel) If this did not happen, it means that there is a problem with your usb jig.

4) Get the files needed to flash your phone

http://samfirmware.webs.com/samsungandroid.htm

... You may have to register for the site

5) Once you have your files, run Odin and make sure you have re-partition checked off, add the proper downloaded files and hit start.

6) Once the process has finished, the phone will restart and you should now be able to get to your lock screen.

If for any reason download mode does not work, install the Cognition Rom on to your phone. http://www.ponack.net/designgears/index.html

Once the Rom is installed, download mode should now work. :D you should also have froyo working on your phone.

Another method is by flashing the JF6 firmware if you want to keep stock 2.1, this should make the button combo work as well

Good luck everyone!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrunkenWonton:
thank you both very much.

Deadly, you wouldnt by any chance be in the Toronto area would you, as I Do not think I would be able to solder this jig together, i was wondering if I can buy it off you, or pay you to fix this problem of mine.

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadly0ne:
I did not have a jig of my own, I have spoken to people in the usb jig thread and someone was able to meet in the area and let me use one that they made. Just ask in the other thread and I'm sure there is someone who would be able to let you borrow theirs.

Cheers!:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
You can download Odin here which comes with the pit file and use that version of odin to flash to stock 2.1 and you'll get back the button functionality. From there you can flash to any rom you want.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadly0ne:
Thanks Joe! I've already found a way to get the download mode working by flashing the Cognition rom. They are basically the same firmware, JF6. :) But the firmware that you have mentioned would be helpful if I ever want to go back to stock 2.1. I appreciate the help!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrunkenWonton:
before i back myself into a corner, the jig works for the captivate as well as the vibrant right... just want to make it clear to myself
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadly0ne:
Yes, the jig should work perfectly fine on both captivate and vibrant. If it works on one phone, it should do the same for the other. Just make sure you have a properly made jig and you should be fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrunkenWonton:
maybe thats what i used. cuz the one time u got to download mode and used odin, i went from Rogers 2.1, into ATT 2.1

i got all the material for the jig and will be attempting it tonight. But when i go into odin, how do i no it would flash it to 2.2, is there different ones out there that make it 2.1 and others 2.2 that look the same.

Btw, what is JH7, or JH6, do i need it?

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadly0ne:
The reason you are using odin is to flash the firmware, which JH7 being one of them. Basically, any firmware that you get from the site I posted previously is 2.1 firmware. For custom rom's such as Cognition, it is 2.2.

Hope that answers your question. If you need any more help just ask me. By the way, you mentioned you lived in Toronto.... I can meet with you and show you how to flash it, just message/email me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagle132:
Sorry to bring up an old thread but I have a similar problem here, and I am stuck on the AT&T boot screen.

I was running stock 2.1, I rooted the phone and made a backup in Rom Manager (clockworkmod recovery was flashed). I then used Kies Mini to upgrade it to 2.2 because I am currently abroad and couldn't use the AT&T 3G service, I'd unlocked the phone to use over here.

However, voice calls were not working properly, I couldn't hear people when they called half the time, so I decided to downgrade using my recovery through Rom Manager. I did it, it seemed to go through the proper steps, and now it won't boot.

It just starts and gets stuck on the AT&T screen. If I hold power v+ v-, it flashes black and then goes back to the AT&T screen. Can't seem to get into recovery mode.

Any suggestions? Do I need a jig or something? Why did Rom Manager fail?

Also, I am not on Rogers.

Thanks!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strawberrybanana:
I have the Rogers Captivate - SGH-i896. I was following a tutorial on enabling tethering on my phone (on maggadget) but something went really wrong. I got Odin3 working, but when my captivate restarted, it got the a screen with "AT&T World Phone" and froze. I unplugged my phone and restarted it, but everytime I restart my phone, it shows the "AT&T World Phone" screen and doesn't do anything else.

I can still restart to go into download mode.

Have I just killed my phone? Does anyone have suggestions as to how I can get my phone back up?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randy_c:
1. take battery out and then put it back in.

2. open odin

3. Hold both up+down volume button the plug phone onto PC. Keep holding till see download mode.

4. release volume button then click start on odin

Make sure you have the drivers and you are using Odin properly. The one click method is very simple. Read carefully!

You might need to build/buy a JIG j.v.douts

A JIG is something physical that you plug into your phone to force it into Download Mode if it's still possible.

Did you try a jig? Download mode is not affected by flashing ROM, so it's still there. Might just be having trouble with the manual way.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Generic_User_#2:
was wondering if the epic 4g could be used in canada on the bell or rogers(or actually any carrier for that matter)? does sprint sell the cellphone unlocked?

better yet, has an international version(that will work in canada) been released/announced?

from what I know, bell has a CDMA network, but i've never used a phone without a sim card before and i'm honestly not sure how it works.

as a last note, i honestly don't care about the 4g capabilities, 3g is enough for my needs.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djinn23:
I thought all of canada was gsm. I may be mistaken. I know rodgers is. If I an right the answer is no
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djencode:
I have one on virgin (CDMA in manitoba), but am having a heck of a time getting data working...

anyone have any thoughts on this?

I won't discuss how I got it working (Against board rules) but I just wanted to know if anyone know of a fix for my data. I flashed the PRL to a bell PRL, set the APN via an APN app (since the option is blocked out normally).

I also tried the Epic 4g on boost tutorial, but it didn't give me any hex info (presumably because I was taking info from a blackberry)

Thanks if anyone can help :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitbang3r:
I'm 99.9 percent sure 1xRTT (~153kbit/sec) is the best you'll get in Canada -- if that -- with an American CDMA-only phone. AFAIK, all of Canada's CDMA carriers deployed UMTS instead of EV-DO.

Canada's mobile phones are slightly exotic, because Telus & Bell have legacy CDMA voice, but 3G-GSM for data. I think 2-3 years ago, you could use an imported European 3G gsm phone, but ONLY in 3G UMTS mode -- they couldn't "fall back" to classic TDMA-based GSM, because the network *itself* didn't support it (yet). Official Telus phones literally used CDMA for voice, but UMTS for data. However, I'm pretty sure you can NOW fall back to legacy

GSM, even on Telus (I guess they had to wait until enough customers had GSM phones to repurpose a chunk of 1900 spectrum that was formerly used exclusively for CDMA, or maybe they just roam on Rogers or Bell for GSM voice).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djencode:
Well I'm on virgin mobile which has EVDO coverage on bell's network here in manitoba. I know this because I ported this phone from an EVDO blackberry (it was a pain in the ass). Also MTS still uses EVDO here as well, but that's going to be short lived as they are in a partnership with Rogers to cover the province with HSPA+. That said there will still be support for legacy devices on their existing towers.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djencode:
But either way I have no data connection at all. I only show the bars for signal (no other symbols), but I flashed the PRL so it's at least not showing up as roaming anymore lol. I'm also getting the stupid sprint activation message every time I boot, and Error 67 authentication error pops up every once in a while.

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LargePrime:

Hey all,

Not sure if any of you have ever enjoyed rhythm games, but this one keeps me satisfied :)

It is basically DDR for our phones... or more accurately, StepMania. It plays with zero lag on our phones, so if any of you missed having a game similar to Tap Tap Revenge (With this game being far superior) give it a shot... oh, also it's free :)

(I am in no way affiliated with the developer)

Here's an Appbrain link : hXXp://www.appbrain.com/app/beats-advanced-rhythm-game/edu.upenn.stwing.beats

Best rhythm game for the android. But I really do want a tap tap revenge for android.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] brian_v3ntura:
WOW thk u. it played wonderfully. but the select screen should be more polished. i know its beta ,but theres always rooms for improvement.

True, but I also think there should be more songs included. Its more or less a hassle to go dl them, even if the link is provided.

Just traded my G2 for a Vibrant. The G2 is a great phone but the lack of permanent root was too much for me.
[Vibrant General] android53:
Just like everyone used to say how the desire was so much faster, I compared the two for a good few hours froyo desire vs eclair sgs.

The desire is slower, especially panning menu's and the browser
[Vibrant General] grennis:
Bottom line.. Never ever buy a phone just released. Give it a month our two to settle and let the initial hype fade. Who in their right mind would lock into a G2 for two years right now? But a month ago it seemed like a fine idea.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
grennis is right

+1 Just like the new hyped N2 coming..... wait and see
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
Only thing I want from the N2 is a port of the system... If it becomes possible, why even bother?

HTC blocking root, samsung N2... I'm thinking we all might have made a great choice with the vibrant.
[Vibrant General] briguydj32:
People shouldnt buy phones just because theyre the latest and greatest... Get a phone that works for YOU. I will say that as someone who works in the wireless industry, the Vibrant is the best, hands down.
[Vibrant General] Gigamaster89:
Straight up trade? I would've traded you.
[Vibrant General] BlackImpact:
My only qualms about the Vibrant: I'd like to be able to use the FFC with the stock ROM, I want FROYO on my phone, and it would be nice if the camera flash could be present.

Hi, I'm struggling with this..I thought I'd have a go at flashing the new RADIO but it seems this program can only flash files in .IMG format, even tho I click the Full Zip tab then click on the Zip it still looks for an .IMG file. What am i doing wrong here??
[Desire Android Development] mumilover:
Almost all....

First, the radio image must be a .img file.

The file you downloaded is meant to be flashed by custom recovery.

You can though open the zip file and extract the radio.img file!

The Full zip tab is for updateing/flashing entire system files... like boot,system,hboot,radio ect...

Please, read and understand the basics before you continue... you can seriously brick your device!

You have to put java on your system path...

This should have been done automatically by java installer....

What does double clicking the jar file do?

Any way.. make sure that "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin" (or the actual java path on your machine) is on the system path.

Hi, thanks for this great looking utility! I am a self confessed n00b of the highest order, but i also have the heart of a lion! Rarrrrr!! lol so i took the plunge to try use this, am i right in thinking all i have to do is download the partition image that i need (http://alpharev.nl/bravo_alphaspl-sense.img) click Hboot/spl (on your tool) select .img then click flash spl.

see screenshot attached

i have done the above, but now stuck on the splash screen.........

Edit, had to drop out battery and reboot into fastboot, the top AlphaRev now says Alpharev sense tries rebooting, but stays stuck on splash screen, wont boot up! HELP!!

Tried again, but this time i have used the tool to reboot device, still stuck on splash screen. It is saying it is successful, so why is it not booting up, should it take long to reboot?
[Desire Android Development] superfastmonkey:
This worked beautifully for N1 table hboot, was really quick. I could not work out how to terminal flash etc, this is so simple...

edited, i just rebooted and it appears to have installed te rom fine.
[Desire Android Development] mumilover:
All is good... you flashed the spl and it was a success...

So the tool worked like a charme :0)

The problem is now, that you have different partition layout...

When you boot, all the data are not where is supposed to be...that why the system cannot boot... it can't find the files...

To options:

1)Flash the old spl you were using before you flashed this sense spl... the system should start up as before.

2)Flash new system from custom recovery :0)

If you have no custom recovery, use the tool to flash either amon_Ra or clockworkd recovery... very simple and quick :0)
[Desire Android Development] DesirableHTC:
i have just had to do a nandroid restore :(
[Desire Android Development] mumilover:
Read the red colour warning.... this option is not for flashing roms...

It's only an option for flashing signed HTC rom.zip containing complete system layout.

[Desire Android Development] DesirableHTC:
****, that didnt work either!
[Desire Android Development] DesirableHTC:
Just flashed clockwork mod as you can see, it says success but im still stuck on the splash screen, what do i do now mate?
[Desire Android Development] expl0de:
Try to turn off your phone, then press the vol- side button and dont push it. Now press and push the power button. Does ypur phone go to fastboot? If yes, go to recovery and wipe data/factory reset. After that just flash another rom. Maybe your current rom system partition is bigger than n1 system p. Dont'know why everybody wants n1 table, when its not compatible with most custom roms here.
[Desire Android Development] mumilover:
Ok... let's work systematicly.

What was the name of the spl you had before?

Look inside the nandroid folder in your sdcard.

What size is the files respectivly?

Then we can figur out what to do...

Just don't do something stupid... don't work in the blind...

Let's work together :0)
[Desire Android Development] DesirableHTC:
right, i have been out all day, just got home and i have now sorted this. I flashed the Bravo stock 1.5 spl and did a nandroid restore and all is now well.

@ expl0de. I wanted the N1 table as i was going to use AdamG's new rom and he reccomended using the N1 table.
