Not sure if there is anyone willing to attempt deving on this device, just thought I give you a heads up download mode can be accessed with the same jig used on the other galaxy s phones. That is all.

Hi Folks,
Coming to the Point, there are currently 2 methods to get into the Download Mode for phones with 3 buttons disabled without using the Computer.
1. Flash the Bootloaders as directed by Richthofen. This would enable 3 Button Mode.

2. Make this Cheap and Easy Homemade JIG. Plug it into the USB and Voila. Download Mode.

I have unbricked my device using the JIG method which worked out pretty well. I had a I9000 International version which got bricked and didn't have the 3 button Mode working. I was able to get into the Download mode using the JIG. During reflashing, I had bricked my device twice and was able to use the JIG to get back to Download mode and start over.
I was just wondering how safe it is to use the Bootloader update over the JIG method. The failure of 3 button mode to work is a big problem when the phone suffers a failed flash. However, even without applying the Bootloader update, the JIG method works which is quite evident.
Hence, I wanted to ask in what terms the Bootloader update is better than the JIG method? My JIG is in my drawer and I am hoping to use it each time my phone is bricked and when I have difficulty in getting to the download mode. I was having mixed thoughts over the Bootloader update, keeping in mind the future updates to bootloader by Samsung may remove my 3 button fix and also the dangers involved in having a failed bootloader flash (No warranty in my case). I just need more suggestions as to why Bootloader update is necessary when the JIG method works and it is lot more safer?
could Anyone bring This Rom I9000JPJPG?
Good Job
Thanks
Hello,
I have problem with my SGS I9000. When I am trying to turn on my phone, I can see only SAMSUNG boot screen blinking again and again. I am NOT able to run recovery mode or download mode (it's strange for me). And what is strange, when phone is turned off and I will plug in battery charger, there is only "spinning" circle.
I know there are threads regarding this problem but other users were able to run download mode, but I am NOT :-(
Thanks to everyone for any answers.

Have you been able to get into download mode previously? If not it's probably not enabled.
The best approach is probably to make/buy a USB jig. Check ebay.
I was able to run download mode before. Yes, thank you, I already found out how to create jig and I made it.
So pls close this post and sorry.
Hi guys,
I have a samsung galaxy s4 with no imei label on the battery place and the screen is smashed so no way to activate the debug mode or the diag mode
The only thing I did so far to be able to read the IMEI is to boot the phone in Download mode but CDMA tools are not working as the phone is not in diag mode.
Anybody knows how can I read the IMEI of this phone? I checked this post but even getting into ADB it´s complicated as it never boots on the Recovery mode.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I think I know now the answer for this just in case somebody will have the same issue...
As I don't have any option to control the phone as the screen is smashed, there is no way to activate the Diag Mode (*#0808#) in order to make the CDMA tool read my IMEI.
Solution: I found on Ebay an HDMI adapter with also USB host for 10 british pounds approx. This way I should be able to use my TV as the screen with a mouse or keyboard
It's on its way, so as soon as I get it working or not I will post how it goes.
Cheers,

Solved.
With the device I mentioned I was able to connect the phone to the TV via HDMI and also adapt a USB keyboard to be able to control it as the screen was broken.
Happy days!

Hello, I was trying to install a custom rom onto my SM-N900a, galaxy note 3, and while in the download mode, my boyfriend moved the phone, disconnected it from the computer before it finished downloading, immediately the download mode vanished and now im pretty sure its bricked, I cant enter the download or recovery modes, and its not responding to the charger. I tried using ODIN and Kies to save it, but my computer is not recognizing the device, it says device descriptor failure. I have scene videos online of people who have used jigs to save there, Is anyone here from Pittsburgh, PA with a jig? Or does anyone have any idea of how to get me out of this mess! It technically isnt my phone, its a friends who i assured I knew what I was doing, i did the same this to my galazy note 3 and there were no problems. At this point just returning it to factory settings is my goal. ALso, has anyone ever made a jig?

Jig see EBay cost a few dollars .
Recently rooted my galaxy s10+, seemed to work fine at first, just the camera app causing the phone to crash, right now it's in a constant reboot loop where i can't enter recovery or download mode.
Phone is instantly rebooting when I plug in a usb cable so adb won't recognize the device nor will my pc in general.
Read up on a lot of threads online & what got recommended on older threads was booting from a debrick image off of your sd card, although i'm unsure if this'll work. regardless not that I can no longer boot the phone I'm unsure of how to generate this file to begin with, which is why I was hoping one of you guys might be able to help me out with generating or linking me to said debrick image.
Or if anyone knows of another way to possibly fix my phone, please do let me know.
Thanks in advance,
A galaxy s10+ user
I don't think there is a debrick image for the S10 or S10 plus. You might want to try flashing your stock firmware in Odin.
Not sure how I am supposed to flash it without having acces to Recovery or Download mode. Any suggestions
You can't get into recovery or download mode? Sounds like you might be hard bricked then. In that case, a phone repair shop might be your best bet.
Carry on with key combi v down and Bixby plus power
