totaly agree wit you!!! they are my SGS lifesaver!!!

u shld make more of this n sell online.. sure ppl don't mind to pay for it when they bricked their sgs..

My ex galaxy s came with 3 buttons disabled. I brick it 3 times experimenting with the rom upgrades in a 14 day period. In all 3 occasions I sent in to SAMSUNG service center and they ref lash rom for me . I got phone back same day within 2 to 3 hours. And the service is free all the 3 time

u should hv applied the fix to enable it first. ^^

I enabled the 3 button fix the last 2 time but still brick. Dunno why. anyway the centre superb service ref lash back for me

Wow, so fast can fix it, did soldering and all somemore. I salute you bro

If its me, its off to the repair shop..

you can find this jig in ebay, about RM 20++.but need a addition of RM20++ for the shipping fees:sweat:

how much it costs you to make that jig?

Good to know that you fixed the phone.

There are some neat ways to put the resistors on a PCB. Lets see if I can source some of those microUSB 'development' boards locally.

if you score some of those do pm me k

>>> mengsuan

ARGHHH!!!! I just bricked mine...

any other way i can get the jig here?? another question..once u get the downloading screen, what's next?

connect to odin and reflash

ok thks Fornx..

haloo unionnone.. where i can find this jigs.. i dont hv talent to this on my own.. if sumone selling it locally i would like to buy one.. i also bricked my phone.. cant download & recovery mode

Alternatively, you can order from ebay, or you just ask unionone to borrow you...

Added on January 24, 2011, 6:21 pmThis guide is for the situation where your phone is not booting and the three-button combo for getting into download mode is not working for some reason, and you have tried all the other solutions in the FAQ. It won't help you if you can already get into download mode but something else is going wrong with the flashing process, for example you can't get Odin to communicate with the phone.

If the phone's bootloader is still intact, that is you see at least the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo or the "PC ! Phone" logo on the screen, you should be able to force it into download mode by connecting a homemade jig that simulates the Samsung "Anyway" field test jig. You can make this jig using a micro USB plug and a resistor.

If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you.

If this helps you recover your bricked phone, please donate to the CyanogenMod developers: go to this thread and click the "Donate to Me" link under Aery's name. Thanks.

You will need:
1. a micro USB plug that you can solder onto. If you are not confident with soldering or you just want a tidy solution, buy this micro USB breakout board from Sparkfun.

Otherwise, get a cheap micro USB cable and cut the sleeving off the plug with a sharp knife. You cannot just wire onto the cable because this jig uses a normally-unused pin (pin 4) of the micro USB plug which will not be connected to the cable.

2. a 301k resistor. You can buy one from Digikey, or make one up by joining several resistors together in series, for example 3x100k and 1x1k. The resistor value does need to be fairly accurate (I would guess within 1% of 301k) to trigger download mode. 300K seems to work for everyone so far.

Procedure:
1. Solder the resistor across pins 4 and 5 of the micro USB plug. Do not do this with the plug plugged in to the phone as the heat could damage the phone's USB socket. The pins are shown in this diagram ("Micro-B"). On the Sparkfun micro USB breakout board they are labelled "ID" (pin 4) and "GND" (pin 5). When the plug is plugged in to the phone they will be the pins closest to the headphone socket.

2. Make sure the phone is fully switched off by pulling the battery, waiting 5 minutes, then replacing the battery. Do not switch the phone on.

3. Connect the rigged USB plug to the phone. Try not to touch the pins on the back of the plug or the resistor(s) as you are plugging it in, as your skin resistance could affect the resistor value seen by the phone. You do not need to press the power button. After a few seconds the phone should go into download mode.

4. Disconnect the rigged USB plug and connect a regular USB cable from your PC to the phone, then you should be able to flash using Odin.

Resurrecting this thread to find anyone who has a spare jig that I can borrow/buy.

Thanks!

Peace!

My Galak-Saxys bricked already. Just can display this icon:


Can somebody help me with JIG? I'm stay at Kajang. If anyone can't help me, I plan to go to samsung customer service at berjaya mall. Sadly, my SGS is AP one..not ori one. Can customer service help me without cost? Huhuu.. Really can't sleep.

TQ
