these the USB plugs with 301k resistors?
why would it just stop working? i had access to download until today....
You could try a factory reset .
Jigs available UK via Ebay or make your own .

In this case buy a JIG £4. I've bought it from eBay from a British seller. No advertising allowed here I'm afraid, but if you search you'll find.

i already found it, but managed to get it back after a factory reset. may still invest tho as to clear the binary counter
Do it yourself!!! It only cost 10 € cents (4 resistors: 3x100K, 1x1K) and a used micro usb cable.
You can make one in less than 3 minutes.

JiG's on sale for $8.00 @ the site til Monday so get yours today...
Very nice, everything was clear and easy to follow (a little too slow for me, but I'm sure lots of people will appreciate your thoroughness). A couple of q's to clarify everything: I assume everything carries over to the vibrant right?
Is the 300k ohm just an arbitrary thing samsung chose, it at least has to be close to it correct?
And lastly, how long do you have to hold it there? I'm assuming from the product that you sell that you can just solder the resistors to the pins.
Where do I get the original froyo for vibrant so I can odin it to my phone?
Can you please help??
Thank you.
thats a nice video
This amazing work! I'll definitely follow your work here for vibe users.

I dont know what to do now.
I tried both 300k, 301k, both with the miniusb from sparkfun, original usb charger from samsung.
It keeps showing phone-!-pc screen. Tried the steps exactly....

Possible but its equally possible that they charge for repairs .No way Kies will install SGS1 firmware .
If OP cannot fix by the normal methods then its worth a shot at service centre .
jje
as I've read in another forum, this leads to a hardware problem, so even the battery is broken.
Samsung knows how bad kies is, so they do not control it in detail.
they try to flash a new rom and when this fails,they send you an new phone.
in worst case, they send you the phone back, not even more.

Here is your problem. It needs to be an 301K resistor.
If it does not turn on at all there's no way they'll know how it died. Just send it for service replacement.
Sent from my GT-I9100
I ve read that the 301k resistance would not work with galaxy S II!
I am sure there is still a hope or solution for the latest samsung technology other than the JIG!!
And this is why you never use a pit or tick repartition.
Get a jig, get into download mode, put a sgs2 pit(repetition) and firmware in.
If the jig won't work, sent it back and hope they don't charge you.

I have did this manually and locally but didn't work on my Galaxy S 2!!
I am afraid when I buy this would also nit work!
The phone will be hard bricked with an incorrect PIT file. The good news is I am capable of fixing this if needed. I'm also much faster and simpler to work with than a Samsung Centre... . MOD's I'm simply trying to let the OP know an option if needed...

If you're wondering if the USB jig works on Bell GSII... read on.
So I received my USB jig in the mail today.
First off a little background...
Bell locked, but unlocked using unsecured kernel and Helroz's Galaxy_S unlock app.
Flashed multiple custom ROMs and the last one I had was Sensation ROM by Crysis.
At boot up I was showing the nasty YELLOW triangle and showed "Galaxy S II I-9100" as opposed to "I-9100M".
The jig worked, cleared my counter and removed the yellow stain on my boot up screen, and brought me back to i-9100M.
With that said, anyone in need of an emergency USB jig fix around the GTA can use mine but of course, you'd have to meet me... I ain't driving to meet you.
Good to know it works.
I should be receiving mine soon.
Hey Guys, where did u order the USB Jig from? I'm looking at buying one for myself.

Steps are very, very, VERY complicated....

Yeah you dont even power on the device. When you plug in the usb it will automatically boot your phone.

Just received my jig today, have a question though before I pop this in.
Should I use this before installing a custom rom or after?
Does it just reset the counter? Doesn't remove the custom rom or anything right?
Phone is brand new haven't flashed anything yet.
Thanks.
why am i so lazy to purches one! i guess ill wait a till im screwed
Got mine yesterday. Worked perfect.

After.... though you can also use it to get in to Download mode initially but not necessary since we have the button combination as an alternative
Does it just reset the counter? Doesn't remove the custom rom or anything right?
It just resets the counter, it doesn't do anything to the ROM.
The jig is only for getting into download mode and reset the counter... thats it.
Got my jig for 4$ on ebay. And got it today and voila no yellow triangle anymore!

Does anyone know a website for official repair centres or locations in the Uk?
Also...I think I have a super hard brick as my phone is not responding to anything, PC can't detect it. Does that mean Sunsung won't know if I have flashed a custom rom and how many times?
Is it possible to revive via a USB jig and how?

Guess its possible if the connection drops in the middle of an installation and you`re stuck when the download might not be complete or corrupt, especialy when going from GB to ICS.

Here http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/repair/supportRepairSelfTracking.do?page=REPAIR.TRACKING
First register if you don't already have an account and request for repair. You will have the option to take it to a repair centre near you or send it to them for repair. I bricked mine when i flashed ICS, Binary count was zero but i had CMW installed. My phone was repaired free with no issues. I would advise you to just send it to them if your binary count has not increased. You will need to wait 2 weeks for repair though.
I was referring to the story I will tell Carphone Warehouse and Sunsung, I can't exactly go and tell then I flashed a custom rom that I made, they'll probably try and con me for begin so stupid for what I did.

Thanks for the advice, i've been flashing for ages now and never a problem, this is the first time I have ever bricked.
Btw...will they know my binary count with a hard brick?
I'm going to make a trip to Maplins tomorrow to buy a resistor and a connector to make a quick USB JIG before I send it off, sending it off is a last resort.

I had a superbrick, where the phone wouldn't even switch on (Also my first brick even though i've been doing it for years). So I couldn't reset any binary counters or restore any firmware to hide what i'd done. It was as it was, and I sent it off to Samsung and they replaced the motherboard FOC for me
USB JIG was no use. You may as well make yourself a JIG for future reference, but I think in this instance, it might be a waste of time.
All I said was, that I restarted the phone and after that it wouldn't switch on again - That was it. They replaced the motherboard for me

I doubt they will know if the phone does not turn on at all but if you can get to download mode so can they. And they will know your binary count from there. I have also been flashing for ages and this is my first time as well bricking a phone. It doesn't feel good at all.
I've went through the service centre and it needs to be sent off to Glasgow in Scotland, is it not possible to deliver it to a closer repair centre?

Do you mean the bootloader that needs to be written as T-Flash to a microsd using Odin 3.09 or higher? (as per 13-58_SM-N900_Boot_Recovery_Guide_rev1.0.pdf) Isn't that just the same as sboot.bin written raw to first sectors of microsd?
I would be interested to hear if you managed to use that just for the "extreme hacking" angle of it :good:

I do not think the microsd is enough - the Note3 ONLY boots from microsd if you short R4075 on the mainboard - there is a notice from Samsung service somewhere around with a name like 13-58_SM-N900_Boot_Recovery_Guide_rev1.0.pdf that describes the details (and comes with a good picture of what you need to short).
