USB Jig on Bell\Virgin Galaxy S II

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.
Thanks,

Steps are very, very, VERY complicated....
1) Power Off GS2
2) Insert USB Jig
3) wait....wait for it...
4) done
reboot

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.

Should I use this before installing a custom rom or after?
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!

Download Reset Counter for GB >2.3.4

yeap.. i have used it and it worked after i used JIG...
its not mine BTW.. i just shared...

Dude the day they released the new bootloader is the day we figured out how they were blocking the Jig reset and made the old bootloader available for download as a separate tarball and also started to package the firmwares with the old bootloader.
You're very late. All that person has done is nothing other than recreate my work. http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/103/_SGS2_KI_Samsung_removes_USB_host_support_patches_bootloaders/

So if I flash the tar with Odin my counter will be reset to 0, without the need of a Jig? Or else?

You need the jig. It's just the bootloader.

Nah, don't delete it. If people don't know then I reckon they might see this thread and find out.

You've just reminded me... I need to reset mine after playing with ICS.
... now how do I do it again, do I need a PIT file in Odin, or is there a CWM package available?
... will this void my warranty? Is it an official release? Is it on Kies?

Pull the battery? why? i never do, just shutdown the phone, put your jig in and
everything else comes naturely.

Is there a limit in the download counter? Would you advise me to get a jig sooner rather than later?

Warning with odin and cf-root

I fail to see why that would be caused by a problem of odin or cfroot.

ur info is incomplete! First of all ur not clear whether u flashed I9100/I9100P kernel or I1900G version, also make sure u used correct version of kernel. bcoz i have done it some 3-4 times never gone wrong no issues.. Did u try to turn on phone to download mode? Is it working?

Anyway I really wonder how Odin+CF Root will damage your usb connector. Your cable is problematic, not Odin.

He is saying that odin didn't recognize the problem with his usb. Perhaps something that could be improved upon. Could've been explained better though
I has a sig

Dear all,
Clearly odin cannot dommage physicaly a usb cable or we are all together living inside the Matrix.
What i try to explain is that my computer have a usb port not well configured. I try to use odin on this slot and odin they PASS but in fact the flash crash.
I change the port and reuse odin and this time it works.
So the only concern is link to the realiability of odin, the fact that it state that the flash was passed and it was not the case.
This tools works well it's only a warning and not at all a critic against it.

Please read my comments i'm never spoke about pb of selection of incorrect cfroot. It's only a question of hardware and reliability of the status of the flash by odin. But sorry my english is maybe to poor to be understandable.

Before un-rooting I'd get the app called "Triangle Away" and see if your flash counter is above what it should be, because this will give away the fact you've customized it previously. So long as it's on a stock rom and there isn't any other modifications you should be ok.
Please note, the Triangle Away application is considered a dangerous procedure due to it's amazing capability, and also if your flash counter is at 1 this could be from Samsung and shouldn't be an issue, any more than 1 and you need to get rid of it. Before proceeding do some research to the app

There was a thread here somewhere about knox, root and warranty. Long story short, it depends on the law in the country You live in.
In EU, flashing custom roms, recoveries and kernels as well as tripping knox flag, DOES NOT VOID Your warranty.

That no command comes seconds before the stock recovery.
Dont worry. It is normal.

And I hope you did not trip knox..because there is a way to root even if you have gng8 and also use custom roms without tripping knox.

The no command is normal.
When you go in recovery and you see the no command, wait for 2-3 seconds.
You will see the blue black screen of recovery

I've sent it to a local repair shop nearby. . Not samsung..
He took the phone for a week and a half. He could not fix it.
He told me he even tried J tag..
His conclusion was that the motherboard is broken.
But I don't believe him because I think if the motherboard is truly broken the PC would not recognize the phone..

I bought a jig from China, it worked on my other phones but did not work on this one. I believe a jig is only used for soft bricks and I believe mine is hard bricked. I'm not sure though. That's why I'm asking for the help of the developers.

If it's that broken I suggest to take it to Samsung. They won't see any modifications anymore and won't take the time to dig deeper. Just tell em it did shutdown somewhere in standby overdays and never woke up anymore.
