GT-N7100

Hi All,

Confirmed, the Jig value of 300k works on GT-N7100 Note II(2). Download mode works.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJSJJS:
Hi itried it. bought a brand new connector. and 100% the correct pins.

Used 300Kohm 1% and treid 301K 1% resistors. Measured it with a calibrated multimeter(i work at an electronic lab). They were exactly 300K and 301K. And i tried both. But it is not working. Any more ideas?

My S2 will not start with the JIG in it. So the tri-angle is still in place. Thanks a lot for any help.

building jigs

ive been thinking about building a jig for quite awhile. i think ive run into a roadblock on fixing my bricked phone with software. it boots from an sd card however ive found nothing that will help fix it from there. its a galaxy s3 triband. sph-l710t if anyone knows how to take that back to stock with radio and sound.

on the jigs, how come everyone has a 5 pin usb except me? i have 30 cables and i cant find one 5 pin.how do you recognize them?

it doesn't cost much to order one in fact i found one last night that ships also for .99 cents. truly i almost fainted because that just isn't eBay however, there it was.

id still rather make one.

There is a tool named Samsung 300K Tool (USB JIG Emulator Samsung 300K) by ScachorroX which can switch many Samsung devices to the Download Mode without physical JIG or 3-buttons.

It seems tool makes switching trough sending binary service command to the modem diag port, so it should work unless diag port is still accessible (most serious bricks doesn't establish diag port, so you'll need the real JIG or another tools like JTAG-related).

This old tool discussed here:

Links are already dead, so I do attach a copy of the executable here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sackofnoise:
Lol, i am not an electical engineer but can understand for the resistors, i just bought 100 301 for 3-4$ shipped plus a breakout board, now i'm just playing the waiting game.....

(well i "bricked" my galaxy i9000m with a captivate firmware so now the 3 button combo doesn't work and before that i had a sdcard corrupt problem which should come back when i flash it but well at least i could send it to samsung without having them a at&t bootscreen loop (on a bell unlockedphone...)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atlaswingpasaway:
AllGamer, by victoria and steeles, you mean markham area right?

i'll try going there during the weekend. dont have time right now anymore.

thanks for the info!

sackofnoise, which item is that, i tried searching ebay.ca for a bit and found most of them in US, UK and HongKong.

can you link me to it? (what do you need 100 resistors for? lol)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yes near the industrial area, goldon baker street around the are several warehouse with walk ins to buy those electrical supplies

there are a lot more in downtown along college st. and many other places
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sackofnoise:
Hi, here is the link:

cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170301495850&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_500wt_814

just searched 301k on ebay and it showed up (it comes from the us though? still faster to ship than china lol)

no need for 100 resistor, couldn't find any 301k around and thesource had a "resistor kit" with a lot of kind but no 301k and it cost more so i preferred ebay and wait (well i could've always used many resistor from thesource but i'm really bad when it comes to electronic so i got those from ebay...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atlaswingpasaway:
ok thanks. i'll go check out those warehouses

and then college street tomorrow.

and i'll keep the ebay link in mind as well. (sackofnoise, lets race who fixes his phone first! lol)

thanks very much!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sackofnoise:
Lol i think you may get it fixed first, need to wait for both part and then, even if i can get into download mode, i think i will still have a "corrupted" sdcard :S but well, will do like before i flashed the captivate firmware, will just flash and reflash differents firmware (some on the forum said it worked for them) and see if i get it fixed:) if not, will sent it to samsung (and yet again play the waiting game :rolleyes:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atlaswingpasaway:
i hate the playing game. i love the tinkering game though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spirit8:
i made one with an usb cable and three resistors but it did not work, so i'm with some questions,

If i try three resistors in series (270k, 20k, 11k) of 5% of tolerance each it will work?

somebody have a picture of a working jig, so that i could use as a model to make mine?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atlaswingpasaway:
there is a dozen pictures posted in the thread. read through.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shrooms90:
If u look whats already been written in this threat u will find a few pics...

And if u take more than one and all.of them with 5% tollerance u have to make sure ALL conections are soldered proper. I would take 1% tollerance anyhow and if possible take a 300k and a 1k in series both of em with 1% tollerance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w_bovine:
That's a funny typo. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shrooms90:
Well as long as people understand what im writing....;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TimFr:
The place to go is Sayal on Victoria Park, one block south of steeles, right next to the gas station. That's where I got my stuff since it's close to where I live. If you're going to be in the area, you're more than welcome to have my jig. I have no use for it anymore. It's a bit delicate, but it works. PM me if you want it.

Glad to see that this is working for a lot of people and yes it does work with the T-mobile Vibrant!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] atlaswingpasaway:
Id rather not because the materials i have now would be a waste if i askef for yours. First let me try.

If all my efforts fail, then i will ask/buy it from you if you want. Lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vinclar:
Does it matter to use resistor with different mW?

I mean there are 301k resistors 1% tolerance and 0.25W and others with 0.5W and 0.6W, and there are other resistors with 0.1% tolerance.

Does it makes a diference? Have to be precisely 301K 1% 0.25W?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shrooms90:
Well the smaller the tollerance the better it is...

And those mW just indicates the max energy u can put on it. If u put more energy over it it will break. So ot doesnt matter
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gns168:
Cool, TimFr does Sayal have the breakout box too? Or did you hack a micro cable?

The other place toronot downtown that has electronic stuff is supreme (superior ... cant remember exact name) electronics close to college and bathurst. It merged and is part of the Pro/Home Hardware store.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vinclar:
Thanks! :D:D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TimFr:
No, they dont have the breakout board. They had something for a usb-A connector,but not microusb. I cut open a microusb cable. Btw, they dont have the cable either. They have the resistors (3x100) and soldering stuff and wires.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tonyg_253:
Dont pick on my soldering, but this is my old data cable, stripped down and 3 c 100k and 1 x 1k resistor.

worked great :D

Thanks for the info

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Reyland:
does someone know if this can work when the phone is stuck on the pc?phone screen???

Yeahhh baby!did it just now and it works perfect,now i have two phones so i guess my wife get rid of her mytouch 3g !!thank you very much sir awesome contribution!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shrooms90:
Well i think thats what this is for...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tysonstephen:
Did this last night, worked perfectly. I had the screen with the phone and the computer so couldn't do anything else. But did this fix and it went into download mode right away.

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mongoms:
Any one who knows if this will work on mine?

The thing is: I bricked it and now it only shows a screen with a white background and a never ending loop with "AT&T" logo. I ****ed up and flashed a capative stock ROM.

Need a fast answer, elsewhere im trying my best shot at where i bought it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Reyland:
try it ,you dot have anything to loose ! but i think you still can get in to recovery,if so you dont need this,i think!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mongoms:
You mean there is another way to get into download/recovery mode? Please share.

Elsewhere, how exacly do you make this Jig, and where to buy resistors?

I live in Norway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Reyland:
i dont know what phone do you have but you should try pressing the volume keys at the same time with power button when the logo screen comes up release the power button still holding the volume keys,if this dont get you in to recovery you should search your phone forums!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheBeano:
Yes as I recall someone else had the same problem and the jig worked for them, although I think their internal SD card was busted anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gns168:
ok, thanks for the info
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atlaswingpasaway:
do they have microUSB receptacles in Sayal?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gilean86:
wow impresive

i wonder how did you figure out. tomorrow first thing i ll try this.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atlaswingpasaway:
awesome, i could break that to get that receptacle. (and then throw away the remains of that converter lol)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
Wow,

This is totally a life-saver for those that might have flashed ROM from wrong phone/model and/or can not even gain access to recovery & download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
Here is my Home made MicroUSB JIG Dongle.

Here are some good clear micro-shot pictures of the pin layout for wires. Thank you to previous members for posting their pictures but we really needed some clear close up pictures for newb like myself.

I took a MicroUSB cable and cut the wires and stripped off the plastic housing with a knife to get to this point. By the way, this plastic isn't a hard plastic so with a sharp exacto knife it cut away fairly easily. Once the outter plastic housing is stripped off, where the original wires are soldered to the pins were protected with a bit of hot glue. Which also can easily be stripped/cut away. Just make sure to not pull off any excess plastic/hot glue too hard as you might damage or pull off any pins.

Here I have soldered one end of the resistor to where black wire is. (Obviously I striped it off to solder) This is PIN #4 (Black wire)

Here is a picture of the reverse side. As you can see there is a WHITE wire and a empty pin which is the PIN #5.

I can do basic soldering but with my skills this PIN #5 is way too small for me to even bother soldering a thin wire or solder the resistor directly on to it.

So I simply did NOT solder this point. What I simply did was plug in MicroUSB in to the phone, than simply take the un-soldered end of resistor and I touched it & held it for few seconds which booted my phone into the 'Download Mode'. Halleluja!

So you basically connect one end of resistor to that empty pin that is not used, and other end of resistor to a ground Pin.

Hope my close up picture helps some of you get a easier view of which pins to connect to. (Be sure to click the picture to view it large as some browsers will auto resize to fit screen making the picture smaller)

Thank you to the genius who brought this to us.

Im sorry for posting my life events here but i just got from my electronic part store called Active (web:active123.com).

I was supposef to spend around 5 bucks but ended uo spending 226.40 because this store sells awesome stuff. Im an impulse buyer but this will help me with my software development course.

Soon ill post some images and/videos with the whole process.

(Or at least most of it)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
Yes. I know the place, been there many times. They used to be even larger when they were either on 1 floor? or different location, I can't remember.

They still got a lot of cool stuff there. Great place for electronic parts and such too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atlaswingpasaway:
Yup they just got a new regular customer. Nice people too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atlaswingpasaway:
IT WORKED!

Will be posting pictures and a youtube link SOON!!!!

- so basically i did what everyone else did with the jig. it's kind of hard to spot the PIN4 and PIN5 but basically it looks like this:

54 3 21

| l | | |

PIN 4 is a flat pin. and it isnt connected to the cable. well, maybe but once i took of the plating, PIN4 isn't the same as the others.

the hardest part perhaps is the soldering of the resistor/s to the 2 pins. you have to have steady hands or else you'll solder PIN3 as well. i almost did, because PIN5 and PIN3 are close together.

(yes, PIN4 is a couple of millimeters below the other pins. and it's flat.)

the next hardest part, and most time consuming, is breaking the microUSB apart.

what i have is definitely different from other pictures posted here so i dont know which part to start cutting. i dont have a video for that though. all i could say is cut the microUSB open 3 millimeters beyong the metal part of the connector.

for some youtube videos:

PART 1 = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tugEeJfs5aU

PART 2 = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNts11IBZ8Y

Worked like a charm... My Galaxy is alive...

What I have done: I used one usb cable from a Nokia phone, I soldered the pins exactly like user "atlaswingpasaway " , like in his pictures...3 x 100kohm plus 1 x 1 kohm.

Removed the battery, after 5 mins put it back in the phone...And plug the usb connector. After 5 secs my phone was in download mode, and after 5 mins is ready to use. Flashed with Odin.

Thank you very much guys.

This is fantastic. I could get back into download mode after neutering my phone accidentally with JM5. Now just have find a solution to the Can't mount dev/block/mmblk... error.

Thanks so much for the help!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sackofnoise:
Keep us (me?) updated if you find out how to resolve this one, hopefully, i will receive my resistor and the breakout board soon so i will be able to flash back to another firmware. The 2 fix i have seen so far for this proble would be A: return to samsung or B: flash a LOT of firmwares, factory reset and cache and hope it comes back... :S
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rombo121:
Does this really work?

I flashed my phone when I was drinking, and now all I get is the phone ! pc

Will this help?

I have wreaked 3 mini usb cables trying to find one that i can solder.

Is there anyone in the niagara - hamilton area that has made one?

thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chozodia:
atlaswingpasaway your pictures were the most clear, set this up and fixed my captivate I broke originally on an early SRE flash over another SRE flash.. the one where designgears said not to do it.. phone went through reboot loop until it did nothing but go to ATT logo and freeze.. so I threw it in a drawer hoping maybe I could at least figure out the jig deal in the future. Anyways long story short did this and use One Click Root and phone is like it was out of the box, I really appreciate the pictures.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bdangol:
Once again XDA Developers you saved my life.!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
Have you seen my pictures?

Don't cut the wires too close, leave a inch or so... that way you don't have to solder one of the points directly on to the microUSB plug itself but to the wire.

And just do it like the way I have.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheBeano:
Get the Sparkfun board from post #1, they ship worldwide for $10 I think.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rombo121:
Almost there

I have managed to find a usb connector, that I striped and am able to solder onto.

I have my resistors just need to put it together.

Man Im praying this will work for me..

WOOOWW!!! this worked great! saved me 120$ to get it fixed in Israel!

thanks a bunch!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bloodyamon:
Thank you for this great solution.

I have tested it and it worked great.

I wish we (I) had looked into the service manual of GT-I9000 a little

bit earlier to get this clue. Now it's clear, why Samsung had no problems with leaving away three button mode with some models.

I had used a standard MicroUsB Plug (aka "MicroUSB Stecker) from Con*ad electronics as well as a standard 1% Tolerance 300kOhm Resistor from the same supplier and it works well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rombo121:
Yes, It Works

This is great, but I cant seem to get and good firmware and files.

It flashing fine, boots to the s then the screen goes black, i cant touch the back button and it lites up and stays on..

thats it.

Oh man.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wang1chung:
try going to recovery, and wipe data/cache.........if it doesn't work, try loading 3e recovery, and formatting the sdcard, then flashing again.

if it still doesn't work, then your sdcard is probably toast and your phone needs to be sent in.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
Do you have any ROM files already in your internal SDcard? If so, try flashing from it from recovery. If you get a error right away, well... that is because phone can't read your internal sdcard. Meaning, it's toasted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dentimarius:
But why is this problem with internat sd memory?

I mean, it has to be a good reason, right? Because there are a lot of Galaxy phones with this kind of problem...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gowger:
Just for clarification, my phone is giving the PC ! Phone symbols with black screen.

Does this indicate that the problems lies with the (SBL) secondary bootloader only and means that the PBL (primary bootloader) is fine?

So the three button combo issue is essentially an SBL config issue?

How do people produce the SBL binary files in the first place?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheBeano:
Yes, my guess is that this is the screen the SBL puts up when it can't run the Android kernel for some reason.

They are closed source but if you search the forum there are fixes where the SBL that supports the three-button combo has been extracted into an update package.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gowger:
woo hoo worked for me!

I guess it's probably possible to mount the flash files on a loopback device in linux then and read the contents. Pity there isn't a program like odin for linux, the main reason I bricked it in the first place was due to not bothering to reboot into native windows and trying to do it from a VM.

Anyway I did a bit of awkward soldering and this trick worked! Thanks so much to all the people who contributed and found the information on the ports!

So I was able to reflash the bootloader with a version that allows the three button recovery mode to work!

Over the air upgrades here I come!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cyberdamienb:

I just tried updating my phone to enable the 3button download combo, but it got bricked (tried the update.zip method). It seems to be fully bricked i.e. not displaying anything at all. Is sending to Samsung my only option?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheBeano:
Yes this method is pretty unlikely to work if your phone is not displaying anything. It is still worth a try though, and it certainly can't make things worse.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dvance:
Thanks for the reply. I figured it won't make things worse, will give it a try on Monday from the office (soldering iron and resistors and so on are all there).

How does the return to Samsung work -- i.e. how much money will I have to part with or is it covered by warranty? :$ I'll pretend I tried to update through Kies lol
