I failed, I wasted 2h of my life trying to make a jig by addition of 11 resistor. I obtained, by calculating, a resistance of 300.8 k, but when I plug it in my SGS2, the phone just reboot :'(

That's all folks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kleingy:
Great video, thanx! It helped me to understand what JIG is in life and how it is working! ;)

Job Well Done
[Galaxy S I9000 General] djurazzi:
thanks ! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hostet:
Use a meter to measure dude. The resistance need to be very accurate for S2.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MZWiZard:
oh it does? Mine works fine with a resistance of 312k ohm...

There must be another reason for it not working. Are you sure you connected the right pins?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Techvir:
I just made one . Easy and works perfect.

I used the resistor from radioshack. Just 1.19$

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062350

and had a mini to micro usb convertor lying around . Had got few during a sale.

I am seeking a desperate help and advise.

I stupidly installed P1000JPJM5 on samsung galaxy s i9000 mobile .(without realising)

the mobile is bricked n no go with anything that I might do :-(

What can I do?????????? No recovery mode nor download mode can be accessible!!!

HELPPPP!!!! PLZZZZZZZZZZ

I'm in Australia -Vic
[Galaxy S I9000 General] franciscomerc:
PLEASE ANYONE!???

Im not an ameuter in this things.... i know everything about root, ROMS, kernels, etc etc.... my Vibrant has soft bricked mny times and i have been able to restore it through Odin and Download mode when necessary. all this to say im aware of everything we cn do in a Samsung vibrant.

BUT TODAY... i was going to sell my phone to a friend and e restore it via odin to stock Eclair 2.1 and then installed Kies and updated to 2.2!! after that the phoe NEVER BOOT AGAIN, is DEAD, i have tried everything..... but the phone doesnt boot or respond to nothing... the secreen keeps BLANK!!! I press press all the buttons, take out battery, plug USB, and NOTHING!!! HARD BRICK.

the problem is that im portuguese and im in Portugal, i bought the phone on ebay and now im not able to go to a T-mobile store... lost 500 dollars!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bjornj:
@ francisco

You will haveto go to store and say kies bricked it, you will have to pay a bit, there else is no solition unless you know how to and you have the stuff to jtag your phon
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bjornj:
@nonnos

Already tried adb, homemade usb?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ariebenais:
Thanks for the Info!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] franciscomerc:
i dont know how to jtag but i think i have friends that can do it... thank you

and what about a try in JIG, homemade 301k resistor conected to pins 4 and 5 of micro usb ?? do you think it may work?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hoezay:

Hi guys,

with no intention to pollute the thread i would just like to ask

i'm pretty sure that i saw that PHONE!PC image when i tried flashing JUWE and FAILED

(its like this: )

but not needing a JIG, i was able to recover.

by following this instruction

I'm not an engineer or circuitry expert but i was assuming that pressing all contact buttons on the phone simulates the short-circuit that occurs using resistors :?

so, anyway just for the purposes of saving other's the trouble of creating a JIG

first try what i did.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] romano86:
Thanks man :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mrushabh:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kbal:
Hi,

just bricked my i9000. Odin failed at Sbl.bin:

h**p://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/860/captureg.gif/

Now I can't power it on, no download mode, no recovery,... holding buttons does not do anything, blank screen only, no sound&vibrations. Left the battery out over night, still no luck. Won't charge (batt was at 100% when I began flashing so maybe it's still full?).

Anybody had this? Would the jig start the phone? Just asking, before I spend 20€ on gas to get the stuff for the jig (or wait 1 month for it to arrive from China :) )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] othermark:
Never seen odin up with two com ports (shown in yellow in your image), that might have been your flashing issue. You should only see one.

There's evidence that you can still recover phones from odin even with nothing on the screen (read the entire Let's save some bricks thread if you like). If you're feeling generous, contact Adam, maybe you can send him your phone.

I'd suggest, after you've read all around and are really sure you can't get DL mode to come up from a JIG or otherwise.

Remove battery, wait a few minutes.

Insert battery.

Bring up odin (make sure no com ports are yellow/active)

Hold down button combo specific to your phone for download mode

plug in usb cable, see if you get a yellow com port.

If you can get the yellow port, try flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] carvax:
need to use a jtag. is the only way to recover
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kbal:
HOLY **** DUDE! IT F**ING WORKED!!!1

I held [Power ON][VOL DOWN][MENU] only then I pluged in microUSB and I see Downloading...

But I have 2 com ports again?

EDIT: In Odin 1.7 only one!!!

EDIT #2: another 30 minutes, and now at <ID:0/010> param.lfs
[Galaxy S I9000 General] krarvind:
weird, never seen ODIN detect 2 comports. Did you recover your phone? what did you try to do? go from froyo on I9000 to a XXJVP from SamFirmware.com. Try one of the custom roms,i am running Simply Honey 3.8. Works like a charm.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] othermark:
Never was really bricked, that's the normal, how to flash with ODIN procedure.

Sounds like you have a driver problem (multiple com ports slow flashes). Try a different computer with fresh drivers. Other than that, try posting to the I9K Q&A forum and let's keep the JIG thread clean. :-) Sorry for the noise.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chiller89:
WOAH!! I bricked my sisters Galaxy S the other day. Then I found this, made one, AND IT WORKED!!! YEAH!! Cost me all of 5 Rand :) @kbal I think you just put the battery in and then put in the jig, no buttons need to be pressed, thats how mine worked! Thanks man!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lucaszampieron:
please man!!!

I used the JIG adaptor and saw the download mode, but when I tried to connect the USB cable windows just doesn't recognize my phone when I connect it!! nothing happens!!

I tried 2 cables and both didn't worked.

USB ports it´s OK.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fugato44:
I think you will have to install samsung drivers first.. if u install kies, the drivers will be installed also.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fugato44:
I need some help here.

I'm trying to test out my jig cable which I made on my phone that already has 3 button combo. Im doing this to test if the jig i made is working..

Will that even work since my phone already has 3 button combo enabled?

Because I tried using the jig, but the phone won't go into download mode..

so its either the jig is not done properly or SGS already with 3-button-combo can't get to download mode using the jig.

Which one is it?

[Edit on]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0

Found this youtube video shows very clearly which is pin 4 and 5.

I can get into download mode using the jig i made.

Fantastic

[Edit off]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JediML:
TheBeano,

My highest appreciation, you saved my warranty! After a couple of "happy days" I rooted and custom flashed my SG2, then a hardware issue came.... It was a big headache till I find this solution. I wonder how long it takes to Sammy to counteract, but seems OK right now.

I made my own jig, 303kΩ, that was handy and worked perfectly.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jigalice:
Hi folks, I have a Captivate I896 that is stuck in an endless loop of the AT&T world phone logo. I've been scouring the net for hours and I haven't stumbled upon the answer I need. I'm ready to make my own jig but was just wondering if a combo of a 270K and two 15K 1/4 watt at 2% tolerance would be an option. I live in a small town and it's very hard to find anything to do with resistors in shops around here. I know on the first page it mentions you can use a series of resistors but I haven't seen anyone mention the combo I plan on using. Any help would be appreciated.

One last question, is it normal if my phone is in this endless loop not to feel my phone vibrate like it has in the past when it turns on? Thanks again.

Back up and running, thanks a ton.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bitmaster2000:
I think it's pretty neat this actually works, thanks.

Curiosity: is by this resistor between pin 4 & 5 than some accessories can activate some special function? For example the car dock activate the "car mode", and the desktop dock activate the clock ? Has anyone ever measured those resistor values?

Yes, once or twice. ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] saifbechan:
Very nice mcgyver looking information here. I have seen a lot of post with really nice work done. Good tutorial.

One thing tho, why go trough so much trouble when you can just get one for under $10,- with free worldwide shipping and all. I bet when you make it using this guide it will not make that much of a difference. And I use it often, so it's well worth the 10 bucks.

Still kudos for the effort tho, real nice for people who like DIY.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheBeano:
This thread predates the availability of premade jigs. Most of them take their instructions from this thread, mostly without attribution (not that there's anything wrong with that particularly). Also it's good to make things yourself from time to time: if you can't open it, you don't own it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DarkSorcerer:

UK Supply of Jig Parts

Just ordered these parts (in UK) to build a Jig before I start flashing (in a Noob kind of way :rolleyes: ).

Anyone can order them online with a credit card from Farnell.com. The USB plug assembly is here:

Part No:1719111

ZX80-B-5SA PLUG, MICRO USB, B, PCB

and the resistor is here:

Part No: 9503170

RC55Y-301KBI RESISTOR, 0.25W 0.1% 301K

As a Noob I can't put the links in directly - otherwise I would! :p

Thank you so much to TheBeano and others for the amazing information! This worked perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy SII, and I then used Odin to load one of ChainFire's doctored CF_ROOT kernels (note I had BVKG3, replaced with XXKG3).

Now rooted and with no nasty yellow triangle on the boot screen either - result! Donations and thanks on the way to both TheBeano and Chainfire.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vasilespain:
anyone know if this method is used for Samsung S2 Galaxy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] midas5:
For those interested.

The resistor can be any value between:

Range 292k to 316k

It does not have to be exactly 300k.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkuso:
Didnt work for me. :( maybe i damage some pin trying to remove the wires, idk. Not sure if try with another usb cable or buy 1 already made.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] tottycs:
So my PC turned itself off when I updated 2.2 to 2.3. I got into Download and downloaded some stupid AT&T update (wich is not for me at all cause I am from Norway) witch flashes when I "turn it on". I guess this is called stuck in boot and this JIG will work? I use normal i9000, no "Captivate" version.

If this works, where can I buy a JIG like this? e-bay is not realy good when I live in Norway (realy expencive shipping prices, right?).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sl1pst3r:
Same question!

Thanks for bringing this up. Even I've tried searching ebay etc to buy a JIG but can't seem to find it.

If you know any place selling this stuff, please do let us know. Else, TheBeano can make a few and put them up on ebay?? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] midas5:
Just ebay search "Samsung jig"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stanwan:
I tried it this morning with some luck finding micro usb connector.

However, i got the wrong value for resistor 330K and build the jig.:eek:

JIG Software Emulator?

Hi all,

thank you so much for bringing us the JIG solution.

But now pops this question in my mind... searched the forum and google and found no other post about it... (wrong terminology?) Isn't there a way to emulate the JIG with a piece of code or command lines from a PC via usb (emulate it)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kuribo67:

I have made usb jig myself and it is working fine on sgs2, i have tested it twice works good. Now i can play with my SGS2 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sinip:
Interesting way to present forum rules, I must say... :)

And now to the question... Sorry if it is kind of OT in this thread but this seems to be very active one. Anyway. my friend flashed his Galaxy S, unsuccessfully of course, and now I'm trying to fix it. I CAN enter download mode (digging android) without a problems, but neither Keis nor Odin actually see the phone attached via USB, and this is what Windows reports when I attach the phone over USB:

One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognise it.

The phone can be switched on and off as well, but it is stuck at Galaxy S cyanogen(mod) screen.

What am I missing here? Do I need ADB installed???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Slegend1:
Really Cool! thanks TheBeano :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Doky73:
homemeade JIG

FYI

I've 'succesfully" bricked my I9000 by failing boot.bin flash via Odin.

Then I bought 3 capacitors: 2x 150 kohm and 1x 1kohm, and uncovered the USB cable...

Because of the tolerancy, the summary of the capacitors was 297 komh, but it was quite enough to unbrick by shorting pin 4&5! SUCCESS!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] apyc:
In my case 270k + 33k = 303k in total didn't worked. Could be that for some reason it was on the allowed +5% which gives 318k.

When I've used 300k + 1k = 301k it worked just as it should.

That means that one should be rather close to the 301k :)

It really Works! OMG

Yes Yes, you guys are awesome. When I first got that phone ! pc logo, I tought that was it. I had problems getting to download mode before but had other steps to get to it, but now it wouldnt.

So I made that JIG. using 1 300k + 1 0.510k at 0.5W using my Dext/Cliq Usb Cable. It worked the first try, got into download mode and flashed with Odin and "VOILA".

First off..you guys are awsome!. I thought my phone was bricked for sure. After trying to root stock gingerbread my phone was stuck in the AT&T loop. Couldn't get into download mode via buttons but the Jig work great.

One question, I've finally got my phone back up and running but I still can't use buttons to get into download or recovery mode. It was working before my failed attempt to root. Is this normal? Will I need to use the Jig everytime I need download mode?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] m0ngstr0us:
Just sharing! ;P

Before 'jigging'

After 'jigging'

3 x 100k Resistors *Don't mind that solder blob as I broke the resistor ends too short. ;P*

Final Product (Before glueing)

3 x 100k does not means you'll get a perfect 300k.

Dang it took me awhile getting 3 x 100k Resistors to near 301k. (I got 302.4k)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mscan:
Wow. I cannot believe this actually worked. I just read about this tonight but I didn't have the proper resistors, although, I had a stack of random resistors that I've probably had for the last twenty years. Soldered together 19 different resistors that was supposed to add up to 301000ohms and it by SOME miracle worked! Just installed gingerbread on it and it's up and running like new. Crazy.
