Oye oye ..... no begging knowledge is our birth right
JIG is basically a device which goes into your phone's MHL port (the port where you connect your USB cable) has a 103 Ohm (or KOhm don remember exactly) resister which sort of jump starts your otherwise dead phone into the download mode and resets your custom binary counter to 0.
Go to ebay if you are a n00b with electronics as well buy one from your region.
else go to you tube there are a billion videos on how to make one.
hope it helped

thank u guys for the info, now i'm waiting for my usb jig, let see if its working.
or just flash a normal 2.3.x Kernel and then boot into recovery, clean your **** up, and flash a Rom that u like , didn't got any problems with it. U don't need a USB-Jig.

cause the ROM i installed so buggy ( lots of problem ), a day auto reboot for couple times. that's why i want to change to official firmware
Google Service Framework keeps crashing
Did you get it to work? I can't downgrade my phone from 4.0.3 to any 2.3.x firmware. Flashing works fine and the phone starts up nicely, but once it enters the setup mode ("Welcome to GT-I9100" where you press the android for setup) for 2.3.x the Google Service Framework och application Software update keeps crashing and I can't proceed.
Any ideas?

I guess "your ROM" still needs some work before you can release it
You are lucky some people here like to help others with less knowledge.
There are tons of threads teaching how to fix a "bricked" phone but instead of searching your problem you preferred making a thread and cry for help. I don't have a problem with that, people are here to help.. I just think you should be more humble.
I have an advice for you, don't take it the wrong way, i'm really trying to help you: don't release more "personal ROMs"
Take care
Next time you can try using google instead or the search tool on xda. Those will get you plenty of info on how to fix your phone.
Dear OP, if you didn't notice yet, Development forums are not meant for your Questions/help issue.
Next time, please, pay more attention, is the second thread from you that i'm closing, there will be not a third.

If you can't go to download mode, you have a chance with a USB jig, but you will more than likely have to JTag it.
You sure you have an I9100? Check the model on the label under your battery.

You can easily make a JIG yourself, it will cost you under 1US dollar to make it. the "Google broken" question means, that nobody can help you more than yourself, search for answers not for people to answer it, most of the problems have been talked about somewhere in this forum or in other ones, so use google...! XD
You can find a lot of tutorials of how to make your own JIG, google, youtube, any search engine bar you have... GOOD LUCK...
If you for any instance need a JTAG, talk to connexion2005, he'll help you to solve it. Solutions are not free though.
Hope some of this helps.
Goto service center and tell them mobile stopped working suddenly after restart. Dont tell anything about flashing etc. If it is under warranty, they will do it for free.
Once it is fixed, stay away from I9100 ROMS,kernels etc, and got to I9100G section.

hello yasir,
as i can undrstand u r a first time experienced rooting an android phone, but no worries, i beleive u hav messed some whr while rooting ur precious S3 device, now if u wish to go to the original firmware the best way was to backup ur stock firmware before rooting or installing custom roms, but now as u hav messed up ur phone software after rooting, what u can do is go to sammobile.com and download an official stock firmware depending on ur region and install it through odin this install will unroot ur phone and bring back ur phone to stock settings n firmware. hope dis will resolve ur issue and eid mubarak.

Have you tried using a USB JIg?
If the Jig fails, you'd need to JTAG your phone.

That isnt "unbricking" because his device is not "bricked".
This is starting to get absolutely ridiculous now the amount of people who are using bricked term faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar to loosely.

Your device is not "bricked", you just screwed system partition up. Just go into download mode and re-flash a stock rom or custom kernel via ODIN.
