Has anyone found a seller for a jig yet? I hear some cappy jigs work, mine didn't.

While I know I could hack together one, I figured I'd order one online that has worked with Galaxy S II's I ordered mine from here today, and it should arrive within 5 days. Cheapest price I found and well, doesn't hurt to try. As soon as I get it, I will do a rooting of my device and check unless CM7 gets released (non-nightlys) by then.

Mine came from ebay seller "mipick22".
I think he stated that it was tested on both phones. Mine works on both, reset my SGS 2 counter and yellow triangle.
Amazon
Any confirmation that the one from Amazon works?
Is this the one?

They are typically used for flash ROMs (boot your phone directly into download mode) regardless what your phone state is (bricked or note). If you never flash ROMs, you don't need this.
You can also flash ROMs without this jig. But on GS2, there is a flash counter and warning icon if you flashed anything but stock ROMs. This jig let you reset that counter as well.
It comes handy if you flash ROM often.

I know when I plugged the jig into my cappy, I didn't need any type of button Combo for dl mode. But I just read someone used their old cappy jig with the sgs2. They held volume up/down, THEN plugged it in. So ill try that when I get home.

Some people's old jigs are working, some aren't.
My guess is the GS2 is less forgiving than the Cappy to variance in the resistor values. As I understand it, 300k was good enough for most Cappys, but for the GS2, it may have to be 301k.
As the link from naturefreak I bought mine from MobileTechVideos for my captivate and it worked in my att SGS2 also. His is WAY BETTER than the one I made.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Buy a jig on Mr eBay so you can reset the flash counter back to zero. That way Samsung won't know you've been messing with it Shouldn't cost more than a couple of bucks. Search for "Samsung Galaxy S2 jig". Some people have found that Samsung don't seem to care if you *have* been messing around with the phone & will fix it under warranty regardless.
Personally speaking, I'd rather not take that chance & would get the jig.

The answer to everything is not 'get a replacement'. The guy above asking if download mode is accessible is spot on.
Provided you can get in there, reflashing a stock package for the i717 isn't impossible and should restore full functionality.
Best of luck
You can always try the Samsung Jig, it still works on my Note.

Download mode is not only if the phone powers on.
there maybe other things going on. the DL mode is a completely valid question. and i hope that he can.
a jig may work as well, i had luck with home made jigs from resiters. with about the 301 of resistance. but that was not for the note.

Yeah you wanted an i717 ROM instead if you can't get into recovery or download mode you have a hard brick and JTAG is really your only option. If you have access to a computer try Odin or kies as a last resort but I'm pretty sure your bricked sorry.

Did you read all the posts in the thread?
Can you get in in download mode? (hold volume down and press power)
If can not get in download mode, No one can save you here. The usb jig is your only hope you have. Or send it out to get repaired.
If you flash the wrong rom your phone needs JTAG service. You can send it from Nigeria using DHL and pre-pay the JTAG guy at www.mobiletechvideos.com. The JTAG is $50 but I don't know the shipping cost.

How about if you leave the charger plugged in? Hopefully you can get the opportunity to get it restored to stock and have it exchanged under warranty.

It does it with charger too. But ONLY really does it while moving it
I CANT get it to even turn on now, It will viberate and show samsung and then shut off
I can get it into download mode for a sec and it will flash and turn off
The power button got mashed a little too hard.
If its store bought, its a warranty issue.
If its Craigslist or ebay you have to pull the whole thing apart and reseat the silver button in the case correctly and reassemble.
I've come across a few phones that have this defect.

You're mean
I don't know for sure, but I would imagine if it didn't flash, the counter won't trigger and he'll be OK. That's why I asked about the recovery - if it's still stock the flash probably didn't take. If it is a custom recovery, it probably means that the flash took and borked his phone...that would be the case where I would think he could expect a hefty phone bill when they catch on...
Well they would charge him for shipping the new phone checking the old phone, won't be pretty lol. This is what you get for just diving into flashing formware , I read the topic he flashed from and I knew it wasn't good for our phone yet it wasn't ported to i777 so there's no way I'd flash that.

Your phone was totally recoverable. In my view, you should have taken responsibility for your actions, and stayed with the issue till you fixed it.
It's a shame, and just plain wrong, when people abuse the warranty to get a new phone for free when the problem was due to their own actions. It's like stealing. From my time in the forum, however, it seems to be rather common behavior. I even see a post from time to time where one person advises another to do this.
At least AT&T/Samsung wind up with a phone which can be repaired and resold.
And now, since you sent them an I777 which boots to stock I9100 recovery, you will have a month or two of existential anxiety while you wait to see if they charge you full price for the phone, as written in their warranty.

Oh goodie! You messed up your phone and got AT&T to fix it by giving you a new phone, the cost of which they can easily pass on to their other users.:good:
If u screw up yer phone, and u don't want to bother with trying to get "technical" and figure it out, there is a good chance this cycle will repeat itself. I would suggest taking a few days and just pouring over all information available here on how to do things and getting things properly understood before u go about flashing again.
