Usb Jig (working)

Im happy to confirm that that the usb jig used on the original galaxy S also works in the galaxy s3 mini.
"usb Jig" - a device used to enter "download mode" when you are no longer able to use the button combo mode due to bad a boot loader.
This happens sometimes when flashing a rom and the connection to the device is lost, the alternative is to send to a service center.
The usb jig can potentially remove the yellow triangle and reset custom rom counter.
You can buy them or build your own.
More info here
Update.....
Usb jig does not reset the "Custom binary download"

Yup only in GB kernels did the jig reset flash counter but from ics and up they've taken care of it
leap before you think

Do you know if there is any means of forcing a Samsung galaxy sm t210 into download, either usb jig or any other pin out sequence?
kind regards

I doubt it will if no charge no vibrate nothing. Give it a try tho can't hurt. I think these jigs are around $5 I had one that worked for my original galaxy mini but didn't work for my hardbriked galaxy Xcover.

I bought one, It's still on the way

Samsung Note 3[SM-N900] [Fix] [Help required] (Problem (Black screen) (ota) (kies 3))

I have got a samsung galaxy note 3 (sm-n900) recently. When i wanted to software update the samsung by using the settings it said "Your device has been modified" or something like that and i did try to remove the custom status on the phone but i couldn't. That lead me to kies 3 which was the samsung application which i used to update the samsung galaxy note 3. I did what it said"Do not remove the plug/usb wire off the samsung note 3. The update was successful but when i turn it on it only shows the boot logo (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900). After that it would show only a black screen. I already did what i can: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. PS: The android system recovery works because it showed me a android with a gears really qucikly and then showed me a android on the floor with a red exclamtion mark sign. Then it would show this: http://imgur.com/BDkmq1M
Please help me. :crying:
