So am looking at getting a USB Jig for my Galaxy S2, i've seen some on ebay, but i also found a site called usbjig.com anyone got any experience with that site? Reason for asking is because i don't want to end up ordering the wrong thing, so hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance =)

I got one off ebay for less than £2, delivered. If you have any doubts then the best thing is to just msg the seller. At least that way if it's not suitable then you can claim the money back.

just type "samsung galaxy s2 jig ebay" into google and viola the top results are what you need.
Hi can you tell me if the jig is the same as the one used in the I9000, if so i have one that i made up for that one. thanks and regards...
I use the same jig I used with the vibrant... as a matter of fact, IV used it with every Samsung phone IV had. Its the same.
Sent from the best phone on the planet (SGS2) running the best ROM on the planet (Cognition S2)!
As the latest release from Samsung have some measurements put in place in the bootloader to stop the usb jig from working, can ofc update without the new bootloader or just downgrade, but am wondering, will we see new types of usb jigs now? Maybe i should wait a bit before getting one? Heard some talk about usb jig cables here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17777492&postcount=226 is that the way to go? Or?
Also does anyone got any experience with usbjig.com?
So I got my jig today. What's the deal with the new ROMs are the jigs not compatible? Someone please explain ...
Also any news on the hidden counter?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
no news on hidden counter
the new roms have a new bootloader that prevents the jig from working and so far there seems to be no way to make it work with the new bootloader.
solution: go to intratech's official Rom thread in the development section and search for the old bootloader, flash it with odin like a kernel (pda section), then reset your phone with the jig.

This is not root or rom related. Are you using it on at&t?
A search would have led you to the "return to stock" sticky and then we'd have one less of these same threads.

Can you contact the seller?
Return the used device and demand the brand new one.
You spent money for a new product, not a second-handed one, do you?
Worst case, the seller doesn't do the honor, post their Ebay name on so others won't purchase products from them
Suggestion: When posting in an Internet forum, read the sticky posts at the top of the forum first.
The answer to your question is right above in the stickies.
its unlocked and rooted
Galaxy S II unlocked and rooted, but no wifi.!!!!!!!
... Kids these days.
First of all, to relate the question to the S III, let me just say that samsung-updates.com is where I get info on ROM releases to all samsung android devices, specially the GT-I9300 and GT-I9100.
Anyhow, does anybody know what's going on with them? Their site is returning a HTTP code 500 (internal server error) and they've been offline for several days now.
Yesterday (Sep. 12th) they were online for a few hours, and mentioned that they've been targets of hacking attacks. They wrote they were working with their hosting provider to find out what was going on, only to be back offline a few hours later.
So, does anybody have any "insider's info" on the matter?
If it is indeed hackers who are bringing their site down, my conspiracy theory point in 3 directions:
a) CrApple and their fanboys, green with envy that they can't update their firmware as freely as we can, so they hire people who actually know a bit about computers to bring down samsung-updates.com
b) Samsung itself, because they are getting way too many warranty returns due to dumb noobs who flash a ROM on their phones and end up bricking it.
c) LG, Motorola and HTC fanboys, for the same reasons in (a), but they do it themselves. Their envy is because they don't get firmware updates in the same pace we do.
Well you have answered your own question, so maybe you should try changing thread title to "Anybody want to join in a conspiracy theory debate?"
It went one direction []; down the toilet.
Seriously, does anyone know if the site is coming back?
Does anyone know the maintainer of samsung-updates.com ?
I'd like to know this too. I need to download a stock ROM for my i747 but I can't with this site down, I don't know where else to get it

Because samsung-updates.com is a lot better, simpler, more straightforward than samfirmware.com
Besides, samsung-updates.com's table format is a lot easier to use than samfirmware.com.
Anyhow, the site samsung-updates.com to be ok now. It's been online for 4 days in a row and that's nice. I hope they have solved all their problems, because they do a very useful job for us.
What isn't nice is that there has been absolutely nothing new for the GS3 for several days now. Samsung spoiled us, by releasing update after update several times a week, and now I am hooked on updating my Gaalxy S III (and my S II, for that matter). Too bad the JB launch date is still a few weeks away, because I could really use a fix right now (pun intended!)
It has been down again for a few days... hmmm...
Down again for the past few weeks in December 2019... hmmm...
Ha-ha-ha looks like I'm the only one concerned about this site.
I have messed up really bad and I dont know what to do, here is what happend
I was using cyanogenmod 10 for the past 2 months and now wanted to sell my I9100G, so i decided to revert it back to stock ICS, i didnt have an nedroid back and also lost the usb cable provided with the device
I tried odin by connecting my phone using a normal usb cable to the PC but odin wont work as expected
I then tried installing mobile odin pro and selected the option to Wipe data, Wide Delvik Cache and also Flash Firmware which rebooted the device(it said it will reboot in download mode)
After that I am stuck on the initial Samsung logo that comes before the Cyanogen logo and the phone wont boot into either Recovery mode or Download mode.
I am confused and scared, can someone help please?
Use a USB JIG to get into download mode, connect ODIN and flash Stock ROM
do you mean that I have bricked my phone :crying:, if so then I have to find a mobile shop as usb jigs are not a common thing in this part of the world
Theres a thread that shows peoples location that can give you a shot of a jig if you need it in a hurry.

if you cant help then being a sarcastic moron is no good to me and I didnt as for a place or person to give me USB Jig so please read the comment carefully before passing a stupid comment
Hey,maybe a jig costs a months wages where you come from.
Maybe just "jog on" and find one and I really,really hope your phone isnt bricked.
The title of the thread says it all - "I messed up". Your report of what happened in your first post is so vague it's almost a joke. People are suggesting you get a jig because nobody who has read this thread actually has the first idea what you've done. Maybe a jig will help, maybe it won't, hopefully it won't and people like you who use XDA as their own personal answer machine because they're too lazy to spend 10 minutes researching ways to fix their will no longer be a problem on this site.
There actually is a thread somewhere with people who have jigs willing to lend them to other people in the vacinity but with your attitude the only thing anyone is going to want to lend you is a middle finger and a slammed door.
Honestly I don't care about anyones bricked phone on this forum but at least if you give a good explanation of what happened and reply nicely I'll try and help. People who write stupid posts I make fun of but people who insult other members because they gave an answer they don't like, I hope your phone is bricked.

dont jump to conclusions without using your brains mate, first off I did research and almost every method advised me to use ODIN, but I was already on cyanogen and It does not let your phone get recognized via USB so it was not working, I tried recovery method but it was not working as well so after reading I used Mobile oden which caused the issue.
I cannot possibly go through over 300 pages of most of the topics in order to get to my specific problem and it WAS specific.
As for the insult I DID NOT insult the member first, my only question in the second post was whether my phone was bricked or not and the rest was just my thoughts not a question so he had no right to insult me.
I feel really bad for a forum when its Senior members leave stupid comments like " I hope your phone is bricked " rather then trying to help desperate noobs
Theunderlink just want to help you. Luke he said: search for thread: borrow usb jig near your city and search for your country maybe you find and your city. And don't be so nervous...

Since you're phone does boot atleast we can confirm that it's a soft brick, and since you can't access download mode or recovery by the normal method you have no other choice than to force download mode via usb jig, I am sorry mate but you have no other choice than this or the service center, also there are several excellent guides on making a usb jig its quite easy and if you're scared to do it ask your nearest electronic shop, and if you make it to the download mode just be calm and flash it with a stock rom, if any boot loop occurs perform a wipe and factory reset from the recovery, and don't worry about bricking your phone but be very careful about flashing via odin, use a perfectly good cable which I am sure you can find, a faulty cable during flashing will give you a hard brick and only a motherboard replacement will be your option which is quite expensive. Good luck and hope you recover from your disaster. :thumbup:
And please be careful to get firmware specific to I9100G, as this is I9100 international version forum. Also are you sure that you used I9100G firmware as this problem occurs for people flashing the wrong firmware.

I think, he thought, you were being sarcastic when you suggested him to search for a forum for locating people with usb jigs, it's a noobs misunderstanding, and after all being senior members we should tell him it's a misunderstanding and make him feel sorry for his mistake, instead of cursing and agitating him more, you know people get desperate when they screw up some expensive piece of equipment, but still the OP jumping to conclusions was very wrong.

You want to get rid of it? Easy
Option 1: return it to seller, demand s/he send you another one with pure stock firmware on it, not a custom one or request for the refund.
Option 2: reverse back to stock (from CM) yourself. Since you're here, you should have read anyway, so read up those threads especially the stickies and DIY.

The other posters Actually have given you good advice, and it appears that they have pointed you to the place to answer your question! Really!
It sounds like you have a modified Straight Talk phone (please note that the ATT version is I777 and the ST version is S959G. It would be interesting to know whether you have an I777s or S959G).
IF you have an S959G, then your best bet is to check the thread posted down below as Phalanx and the others have mentioned --it's literally below the post you created (several posts below now, just look for the title "Straight Talk SGS2- SGH-S959G" (<- or click on these "straight talk" words)
It may seem frustrating to get a phone that is customized, and right now you just want a phone; However, you actually have one of the nicest and newest roms available for this type of phone!
IF your phone boots CM10.1 and you have the normal android screens, then you have everything that the ST or AT&T company would provide on a "normal" phone, but without some of the junk and advertising that often infects our phones! Try it out! The interface is not that much different from "stock."
Still, if you don't like your phone that way, YOU can fix it and it is not really hard, but just takes some reading and patience to gain understanding of the techniques and processes (learning the principles also is interesting! :laugh
But it will take you at least a few hours of reading, and a bit patience to scan through the Straight Talk links and pages. If you do that you'll see others who have your issue, and also others who turned the issue around to make it a plus!
A modified phone is more of a commitment than a stock phone -but it returns more to the user! Especially if you want to adjust it, enhance it, or appreciate it, you have to put in time.
If that's not for you -perhaps turn it around on ebay. But a working CM10.1 on a Galaxy S2 is a good machine!
Good Luck
Good Luck

I'm looking to buy a new usb charging port for my SHW-M250S Galaxy S2. I actually tried buying a i9100 version just to see if it would work but alas it was a bit too big. I've been searching for parts for my SHW-M250S and I can't believe how difficult it is to find them. If anyone has any suggestions they would help me out a great deal and I would very much appreciate it.
