guide for making a homejig

---

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.

just flash back to the right rom lah

the prob is cannot go in recovery mode and download mode.....

Does your ROM comes with CWM Recovery and root?

If there is, find a way to put in a working CWM-flashable ROM into the internal memory. If it's rooted, download 'Terminal Emulator' from Market. Type 'su' and then 'reboot recovery'. Then you can flash.

Otherwise, if you think your USB port is still working for Odin flash, you can type "reboot download". Root is required, as always.

well....it cannot connect to pc, cannot boot in recovery mode and also cannot boot in download mode...

im afraid if he say brick, he cant switch it on then.. so he cant turn it on to even download terminal emulator

i thought that 3 button combo is fixable via odin.. is it? if it is, flash the 3 button combo via odin and see if it works

Hmmm, I've seen people flashing the wrong ROM and it would boot, only button mappings and USB gone wrong.

If terminal emulator is not accessible, then there's nothing to do to trigger by software. ADB is also not possible.

Only way, is JIG.

yup!!! it works like a charm!! i will upload some photo of it if i can^^

this is a SGS lifesaver!!!!

nice JIG, nice hack. well done.

salute
this guy posted "my sgs is bricked!"

not long after that, his JIG is created, by any chance you are in electronic engineering field?

it tooks me an hour to made it(include buying the part)

nice..
you should put some illustrated guide and ask TT to put the guide on the 1st post of SGS thread.

i salute to the person in XDA who actually figured out a fix like this!

huaaa, i also like to make a JIG, come on dude, post a guide how to make it

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...

can this jig work on my galaxy 3? bricked my phone when try to upgrade. aisehh

TS, when ur phone brick u can boot the phone? any display?

fix it d?

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

i dun do soldering, what ts doing is soo risky, it may void the waranty or even burn the phone or however, can ts have another option way?

you have to pay for the parts & labour if you sent back to service centre

press + & - vol then plug in ur usb cable hold for 10sec
should be enter download mode then use odin to stock

Try LowYat repair shops. I am sure they got provide such service. You might get cheaper quote rather than go Samsung Service Center, since yours is AP set anyway.

hi bestfol, try to look at this guide, hope it helps

IF ERROR: In case Odin does not start flashing and shows an error, your phone might go into the "download error" mode:



DON'T PANIC. This happens sometimes when there is a USB connection error.

First disconnect the USB cable from your phone.
Next shutdown your phone, by either: Press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds. The phone will power off. If it does not, just take out the battery and put it back in.


link to guide

Just back from customer service centre berjaya plaza yesterday evening. They wanna charge RM100 coz mine is AP, not ori from samsung. But, after 10 minutes, they finish the job with an error:can't connect to 3g. They said, maybe the hardware problem, need to send to the essembler factory, then they said sorry and give back the phone.

Haha..actually just add APN, then the 3g function come out.

Fear no more guys.. Jigs for sale! Support support! =)

Did you pay the fee?

i learn new things about jig

The ROM you wrongly flashed is a custom rom or official rom? If custom rom, you can boot into download mode by finding the menu. You can try sgs tools from the market too. If not mistaken, it has an option button there for booting into download mode.

No.. My cost just LRT ticket and parking ticket. Hehe..

Of you brick it man. You can't use yours phone at all!
And it does happen even if you flash the correct rom.
