Thanks, this saved my Vibrant.

If I tried to power it on, it was stuck on the black and white "Vibrant Samsung" screen.

If I didn't power it on but plugged in the USB cable, it booted to the charging screen but stuck with the grey battery icon and a frozen progress wheel. Holding down volume up + still got the grey battery icon and frozen progress wheel.

homemade jig with video

once upon time, i brick my phone and i must find usb jib. but i do it at home. [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMkA8qe9BXY[/YOUTUBE] my video.

you can your usb jig with your one hand :D

jig

I wish there was a different kind of jig that can use same oldschool jtag.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MikoMew:
hey i just tried to make my own jig and "the source" doesn't have a 100k pack only value so i think i got the 150 150 and 1 to make 301 and its brown black red gold for 1k and brown green yellow gold for 150k right? I didn't get a micro usb yet cause i want to try just connecting it is that possibly?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vaporise8t:
Thanks.. Your guide helped a lot.. I made my own jig using 4

3x 100k and 1x 4.7k, total was about 299 k.. Worked great.. :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GrandMstrBud:
So my phone shows nothing no matter what on the screen. I've tried the other method to unbrick this and nothing works. Will ones of these JIG's work on a phone that won't even show anything on the display? No lights no nothing
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hornedfiend:
Thanks a million for this tutorial. It worked flawless using a 296k resistor.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dargan:
Well, my GS2 is not charging or being shown with the PC, and if I press the Download keyset, it tells me there's no charge so it refuses. So, after reading about, I panicked, and started persuing this thread. After a couple days, I managed to get the parts I needed for making the jig. I went to Jaycar in Perth City and picked up a pack of 100k and a pack of 1k resistors. Also threw in their cheapest micro-B USB cable, since they didn't stock the connector by itself. Cost me all of $11 for all of that. Soldered it all together the next night [I'll put up the photos after I get a decent phone up and running. My Treo is SHOCKINGly old].

Well, lo and behold, the jig didn't work! Not to panic a second time, I took the phone and jig to work today and borrowed the battery from a workmate's GS2. Plugged the battery in, and the damn thing boots! Only got as far as the bootloader, then it reboots, but that's great! Download Mode worked, so I'd be able to plug it up to a PC and Odin and re-flash it back to stock. So all hope it not lost, I think.

When I got home from work, I was chatting in IRC, and someone suggested that the phone could be booted without the battery using the wall charger. So, I tried that, but it's a fail. So, it appears that my USB connector is stuffed.

My questions are be:

Would replacing the battery have any effect on this? I was looking at getting a spare battery+dock charger anyway, as I burn through my phone around midday most days. This would be the fastest and easiest way to keep me going if I run short.

I should be able to use my jig and his battery and reset my counters and flash back to Odin, then send my phone back to Samsung for a replacement, right? The jig would work in this case? I'm going to take my laptop in tomorrow with Odin and a stock image ready to go to test this, but wondering what others think or have experienced with it.

Thanks guys, reading this thread has been enlightening :D

Edit: Just went through the General forums again, looking for something other than what I did before, and have found a few other threads regarding my port issue. Going through it all now to see if none of that works/applies. Will update :D

Edit 2: Went and bought a spare battery, got the 2000mAh one, and after some careful praying to the data gods and flashing of replacement firmwares, my phone has finally been able to boot! And with the working fw, the non-charge issue seems to have gone away. Once it's all set up properly, I'll plug in the stock battery and make sure that still works, but I'm pretty sure it's all fixed. The jig also doesn't seem to work, though I don't know if it's because of dodgy soldering or incorrect bootloader version. I'll have to have a play over the long weekend and see.

Guess I'll just leave my post as it is now, since going on further will take me further past off topic than I already am :D

Have fun :)

Get to the yellow triangle screen

My phone is Samsung Galaxy S 4G from T-Mobile.. Also called as Vibrant Plus.

While updating the phone through Kies, the update failed... and my phone got stuck into the phone yellow triagle PC icon mode.

And nothing happened.

After reading these threads, I could get to the Samsung Galaxy 4G screen. But it didnt went to the yellow triangle ... Download screen.

I found a way to get to that... Follow below steps:

1. Remove the battery for few seconds.

2. Add the battery.

3. Hold volume button.. Up and down + power button + menu key.. The left most bottom key.

4. This should bring you to the yellow triangle downloading screen.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] bahanx1:
You can use a POT to set the resistor value also.

A POT or Potentiometer is a "variable" can be used instead of the fixed resistors. The values of the resistors vary because they have many factory tolerance levels.

When using a POT, you would set the resistance with a digital ohmeter and then affix to the usb jig.

NTE, ECG or Radio Shack will usually stock these.

This specific one will have a variable resistance from 100 Ohms to 1Meg Ohm.

The NTE part number is SU/RV6NAY

Please look here for a visual at the nteinc dot com website.

I have a friends i9000 which doesn't have download or recovery mode (no 3 button combo) I tried flashing this psbl file it with odin but it got stuck and now it seems to be bricked. I see the phone yellow sign in the middle and pc on the right. Is there any chance I can recover it with this JIG method? Or is is ****ed completely?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shane87:
Thanks to this thread, I built my own jig and saved my cappy! It wouldn't have been a big deal, but my power button is dead, and I spent over an hour trying to coax my cappy into download mode. So I got three 100k ohm resistors, and soldered me up a jig using the micro usb plug from my old, dead charge/sync cable. It works great! A huge thanks to everyone who has helped discover the secrets of the galaxy s series!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shane87:
Open odin, then plug the phone into the computer. If the phone is recognized, try flashing again. Some bootloader versions have the phone ! pc screen as an alternate download mode.

If odin recognizes the phone but can't/won't flash to it, download heimdall. Heimdall has an option to close the phone ! pc screen, and you should be able to flash using odin or heimdall after that.

If neither of those work, a jig may work for you. As I posted above, I just built and used my own jig. NOTE: You have to turn the phone off before plugging the jig in. Or at least I had to. I actually had to pull my battery, then insert the jig, then replace the battery, since my power button is shot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ne[m]o:

i need help

Hello i hope my english is good enough to explain you my problem with my Galaxy S I9000.

I will explain it from the beginning to the end.

I had want to flash my Galaxy S with GB from Vodafone to SLIM ICS.

In the Internet was witing, that I had to flash first an ICS Kernel befor flashing to SLIM ICS. I had found an GB with ICS Kernel to flash with ODIN.

( I had flash 3 times with Odin and had no problem to yesterday)

I flash it like ist was in the desrcription step to step. After I had click on start button in Odin, the package failed at the end and my galaxy s hang on in the download mode. I want make it again but the downloadmode and recovery mode don’t work anymore. My data from my phone

FW: 2.3.6

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJW6-CL1086604

Buildnumber: GINGERBED.UCLB3

( don’t work: WIFI, sim card but I think it comes from the flashing because it is failed and I can´t root into download mode)

I´d tried for the download mode:

-Vol- BUTTON and ON (no download and with Vol+ no recovery mode)

-JIG adapter but it don’t work ( dont startup into download mode or enything else)

-Terminal Emulator ( with z4root)

- adb with cmd from windows 7 (admin rights)

But I cant repair my download mode.

Have anyone other idea?

I think warranty claim does not work, because flashing

I hope my English was not to bad and someone can help me
[Galaxy S I9000 General] richard2311:

Thank you for the guide after reading the post slowly I was able to understand it. I was like worrid as I cannot access the download mode of my friends Note while I was playing with it and it won't boot up. I think I messed it up while flashing it. Will try this after I bought the necessary materials.

resistor - homemade JIG

You can use the resistor 330KOhm (is more popular)- it works. I tested it on the Galaxy Note N7000!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nijtram-nl:
330K will not work in all cases

330K will not work in all cases. Each resistor has a tolerance. most common is 1%. Your device is manufactured keeping this tolerance in mind. I did some tests with 315K (2x 630K paralel). In some cases this doesn't work. So If you want to be sure you should by a 300K or 301K ... or a turnkey JIG ;)

good luck M

How's about using:

Micro USB - USB - USB rs232 9 pin serial adapter - female rs232

^ & solder onto the rs232 female conector?

The 301k resistors are £7 on ebay!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheBeano:
That wouldn't work, there is a whole lot of conversion circuitry between the micro USB and the RS232 plug. Honestly these days it is easiest to just buy one made-up for $1.60 from Dealextreme, or on eBay.

Made it with a 330k resistor and it worked reeeally nice. Now my Galaxy Note has the counter to 0 and I have my warranty back :D

It works - the next step?

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for this great fix. I managed to brick my galaxy i9000 a few months ago.. the only

thing that would show up is the samsung beachball. I made the dongle and now at least

I get the android working sign and it is in download mode.

I would be grateful if someone could point to a thread of what to do next or share

an bit of knowledge or experience.

On my macbook kiev does not seem to see the phone after it goes in download mode

(I replace the dongle for a usb cable between my macbook pro and the phone).

So the usual thing people say is to set the usb in the phone to debug mode.. I can't do that

because the phone will not boot up. Would people know if Odin would have the same problem

if instead I used a windows machine?

To recover the phone in general, I'm not sure if I have to setup/fix the bootloader first and then install a ROM but without being able to connect the phone to the macbook I can't really try anything.

Thanks for your help.

Aldo
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pvandenh:
Run Odin with phone connected and in that download mode. You just need to get the firmware you want to load in Odin. I find best to go into a stock firmware first after being soft-bricked. Then get stock running before exploring a custom ROM. That might be just me though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jamie2002uk:
Correct goto http://www.sammobile.com find your stock firmware that your phone come with originaly or the latestest depending on what you plan do to with it e.g sim unlock or whatever then as pvandenh said you can explore custom roms from there and enable usb debuging i would certainly use a windows pc and odin rather then a mac may just be me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reijndert:
I have the "JIG" and it works perfectly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Paulywauly:
Exact same symptons.

I had the exact same problem with my I9000, had switched it off a couple of weeks ago,( working perfectly), to go on holiday.

When I came back, turned on the phone and it went through the boot sequence, played the Samsung tune, and stalled with the colourful "S" on the screen. Then it would buzz a few times every few seconds. Could not get into HBOOT no matter how I tried, nothing worked at all.

I made the mini usb jig you described, followed the instructions, plugged into the usb port on the phone, and .......... up pops the little android workman, with "Downloading" etc..

I unplugged the jig, plugged in the usb lead from the laptop and ran Odin, which I had downloaded months ago to upgrade to jellybean from froyo, but had been too scared to do it. So, I thought, nothing to lose give it a try. Way hayyy all working great.

Thank you guys very very much, great job I will be showing my support.

Samsung USB JIG DIY

Initiating download mode works on Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) but does not reset the counters. Probably due to changes in boot loader by Samsung.

I created my own USB JIG using a variable potentiometer. Good thing I kept my Macgyver stuff from college years.

It's a cleaner implementation since you can change the resistance value accurately by turning the dial clockwise/counterclockwise.

1.) Set the potentiometer to 300KOhm [(+/-)1KOhm] by slowly turning the pot dial while checking the resistance value on a multimeter

2.) Turn off your phone

3.) Remove battery then wait 5 minutes (OP instruction) <-- This step is optional in my case*

4.) Put the battery back in*

5.) Plug the DIY USB JIG. After 1-2 seconds, download mode will appear with the counters visible on the upper left corner

At least it worked in initiating the download mode. Maybe there's a combo in resetting this like the N7000 does. Will experiment.

Thanks for sharing the DIY! Sharing back as gratitude. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] otezun:
xcover 1 jig?

I've been trying to reflash a GT-S5690, now it only boots until Samsung S5690 screen. I know that its one of the only Samsung devices that can't jig, or is not known to work with jig.

Since I can't believe that this device has absoultely no "Force Download" jig or modification, I built a JIG with a potentiometer. Set it to 300 kOhm, plugged it in, and the phone switched on, but did not go into download mode. Set it to 290 kOhm, the phone did switch on, but not go anywhere. Then set it to 310 kOhm, plugged it in, phone did not switch on. Plugged it out and plugged it in again, did not switch on. Did I mention that, when the phone is switched on, the kOhm on the resistor change value for +-10 kOhm?

Set it back to 290 kOhm, phone switches on, but does not go into download mode, appearantly. Non the less, I went to attach it to a odin enabled computer (with samsung cable, this time btw). It does not show up. This is strange...

So does anybody here know if that could have to do with the un-unbrickability for that device?

Since this thing is borked anyways, I'll try finding the scope of the value on which it switches on when JIG is inserted. Btw, according to the pxa968 platform Brief, theres a "Security Layer" in the xcover, could that prevent it from accessing dowload mod in such a manner?

Edit: I looked up some of the chips on the device, and one IC was labeled "MPM", which is a linear regulator to 2.8 V. Usually it seems that SAMSUNG smartphones are regulated to 3.3 V...there is an "SPS" IC on the galaxy S II or so it seems, which is also a linear regulator, but to 3.3 V this time. Check this link for more info:

micrel, com/_PDF/mic5335 , pdf

(replace commas with dots and remove spaces between link, cant post links yet)

Maybe the Xcover has been underclocked and underpowered from the start for longer battery expectancy.

I also redid my JIG to be more accurate, and used the official SAMSUNG cable this time. Stuff is getting pretty damn weird now. Either my JIG doesn't work correctly, or the resistance drops to 0 kOhm once the battery is inserted (and its the correct kOhm at beginning)

Time to try some stuff.

Edit2: Didn't built my jig correctly yesterday (connected wrong pins), rebuilt it today and it worked so far. I still haven't gotten into download mode, but I did determine that a resistor of 220 kOhm to get it to 1.115 V to get it to switch on is needed...

Hi , i flashed a .pit file into my samsung galaxy gti9100p and it went black and is not working its like dead with no logo nothing and it doesnot enter the recovery and download mode even using the three buttons options. the .pit i think i flashed was not for this model (my mistake) but what should i do as you say that JIG doesnot work for phone without logo of Samsung ... please i need your help .. can my phone be recovered from this stage

try to use USB JIG first, than look at other option in	[Tutorial][A.I.O. Rescue & Recovery] My Android Solutions. [Help & Troubleshooting]

1) Problem:- Cannot enter Download or Recovery Mode

25) Problem:- Phone completely DEAD, Not Charging and NO response, only this SEC S5PC110 TEST B/D

you can use the unbrickable MOD,

If nothing works than only JTAG will be able to recover it

[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
look at the links in problem 25, like I said, you should try the USB JIG, you can buy in ebay for a dollar, or even borrow one ( someone near you) (links is the above link given earlier or make one.

Only after that, you should look at the MOD, but if you lack technical knowledge and capabilities, take it to mobile technician to use JTAG. its fast and easy, but will cost money.
