i wanted to send my phone to service centre due im still on warranty but..my binary counter doest reset...when i put the usb jig after flash patch my phone not boot up to download mode..and reset...its do nothing...what can i do...
but my combo 3 button still working if i flash using my pc...only USB jig not working..please help...
1. If 3 combo button working upgrade to ICS, Then download triangle away. Check the flash counter number matches your count and run the app.
2. Or try flashing the old bootloader. Then use the USB jig.

I9100G have no ICS yet...so cant using triangle away...
using the old boot loader...i already tried...but not working or im doing wrong..?
im stuck...my phone cant charge...and binary counter still got..how to send to samsung..
Have you tried the USB jig on another phone. Just read on internet they are releasing ICS for the I9100G.

You might get lucky
I had a similar problem i atempted my first rom install ever when we had a powercut my phone gave me connect to kies message i had no cwm no bootloader however i still sent my phone away as they had agreed to fix for me in the first place thankfully even though they never fixed the physical damage caused by their packaging skills and a combo of royal mails handling it they were good enough to fix my software problem without charge to myself. I think because they couldnt access the flash counter they were forced to put new firmware on either way big thanks to them i finally got ics on my phone.
They have however since had my phone back and fixed all above physical probs again cheers to them they were either sympathetic with rom or just did it anyway.
Just thought id pop my experience with you
Physical damage is 1st thing should have been fixed

I9100G can't charge, and cannot get into download mode via jig, but CAN get to download mode via 3 button combo?
Sounds like the USB port is broken.
Since it's the I9100G, as you have discovered, there is no reliable ICS released for the I9100G yet, so you cannot use Triangle Away. And without a working USB port, the jig will not work.
However, you can replace that part for a relatively small cost from what I understand.

Look, I can't possibly be sure, because you have the phone in front of you. I can't see it, so I don't know what exactly is broken. But the symptom you describe sounds like the usb post is broken. Others have ordered the usb port part and replaced it themselves for about $13 USD.
But if you are this unsure, I'm guessing you are probably either not willing or not capable (not trying to insult, just stating facts) of doing this on your own.
If that's the case, I think you don't have any other choice other than to just send it to Samsung. But there is no other way for you to reset the counter... So warranty will probably be denied.

Hi,
Im a first time poster and I have read through the development forum about the usb jig to reset the counter.
I have a galaxy s2 and I was wondering if its possible to do it without a jig? I have reflashed my stock firmware however the count still says (2) I read a post in the development forum that its possible to flash to stock and reset.I would appreciate your help.
You need a jig to reset it. The hole point of the counter is to keep track of unofficial flashes even if a stock rom is flashed back on.
Now why would people be buying and selling USB jigs to reset their count if it could be done without a jig?
you need a jig ! I made one for myself. It's really quite easy if you know how to solder.
Doing your job with a jig would be done faster than creating this thread.
Get a Usb Connector, stick it into the phone, hold a resistor on pin 4 and 5 and you are done. Took me 5 seconds
I have a malfunction usb connector so usb data transfer or my jig is not working anymore. Surprisely the 3key download mode is working, and firmware flash with odin too.
So I need an alternate way to reset the counter before I send it back to warranty service
Is it stored in the bootloader? Can I reflash it with odin?

If the micro/mini usb plug isn't working, it won't matter if you have flashed any custom roms. (I mean for the warranty)
There are 2 seperate warranties, one is the actual device and the other is OS stuff (I believe)
Try this.
Remove battery, insert jig, put battery back in.
This method got it to reset when just insertion of the jig did not turn the phone on.

Highly unlikely that a product has two separate warranty and certainly would be new idea .
Where there nay be two distinct warranty's is one the seller warrants the phone for twelve months that includes original firmware .
Two is the separate cover Samsung give for one or two years .
Pointless manufacturing a rom counter if its not for some specific use and as Samsung have stated rooting and custom roms invalidate warranty then that's what its for .
Will service centre take any notice of a custom rom or root is an entirely different matter especially as few of them are actually Samsung .
Simple to solve the problem but id a user cannot then they just have to a take a chance . After all life is 5/4 against .

That's because either your usb jib is faulty. Or you flashed a 2.3.5 rom w/o reading the warning signs that the new bootloader prevents the jig from working.
Some of the latest ROMs have a new bootloader that apparently disables the jig. Intratech's thread has ROMs that use the old bootloader so that you can continue to use the jig.

Could be 1 of 4 things
1-USB plug faulty (if phone boots unlikley)
2-Jig faulty (if phone boots unlikley)
3-You have flashed the new 2.3.5 with new bootloader (non-wipe bin counter)
4-Your phone is turned on when you plug it in.(phone needs to be switched off)

there is no known alternative way of resetting the counter, if it was as simple as using odin then we would have never worried about using a jig.
So then what is the best way to make a total brick? (result: no 3key recovery or download mode)
I should mess with the bootloader in odin?

LOL!! This is the reverse "I bricked my phone" thread. It's the first time I've seen someone asking how to brick their phone.
I suggest you look at the above mentioned "Hallppz!! I broked mi fonnee" threads and do exactly what they did to brick their phones. Stuff like flashing SGS firmware on SGS2 can help.

I'll try it tomorrow in the evening unless somebody comes up with a better idea.
I'll post here the result
AFAIK, samsung service center won't check for "flashed" phones. When I returned my SGS2(just cf-rooted), they said I should return after 30mins because they'll flash it back to default(They didn't even check, they just said that while I was still filling-up their repair form). But my yellow tint was still there, so I got a new phone. Now no yellow tint visible on the eyes.

dont hav to visit warrnty ever..
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums and Read THIS
Moving to Q&A
I've a I9100 and for certain hardware issue (Audio problem) I want to send it to the Service Center.
I tried different custom ROMs before coming back to 2.3.3 KE8 through ODIN as I realized the hardware issue was not gonna fix without sending it for repair or replacement.
Now, I bought USB Jig from Ebay and followed the instructions in the USB Jig FAQ thread but after switching the phone off and inserting the USB Jig it is not booting into the Download Mode ? Is the USB Jig not working ?
Or do I need to flash an old bootloader to get this working , if yes a link please ?
Yes most probably thats a bootloader issue...get an old bootloader from the Original Dev Subsection.
Mine for some reason doesn't automatically boot when the jig is inserted but it does do it's job when I just use the power button to switch on.
Then it boots into download mode and resets triangle and flash counter.
Don't know why. I bought it for my sgs1 so maybe thats something.
Anyway try doing it that way and see how you go.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I flashed the old bootloader posted in the intratech's thread here Still its not booting up.
And also, I tried inserting the Jig and then powering on manually that didn't work as well.
What now ?
Some peoples have posted on other forums about the USB jig doesn't work automatically when inserted (although it should...) Try inserting the jig, and powering your phone on. It should reset the flash counter, if you are trying to get rid of the triangle for "warranty" purposes
Are you close to any of these people?

2.3.3 KE8 Has the old the old bootloader so no need to replace it..
Try cleaning the usb port with a spray duster or tooth brush and try jig again.. Also you may be unlucky with a DOA Jig...
Hey I just couldn't get the USB Jig working so I had no other option but to try the riskier method.
So, I updated to ICS (Resurrection Remix 9.3) and used TriangleAway and it worked. Then I flashed the Stock Rom by using Mobile Odin.
So now the phone is as "Factory'd" as possible and I'll be taking it to the service center tomorrow
@ All above, thanks for helping

I'm glad you managed to remove the Triangle and restored to the stock rom,but what about the rom counter? The Service guys will surely check for the rom counter....you managed to reset that too?

Yeah the "TriangleAway" app resets the Binary Counter too
Seems like a dud jig to me. Mine automatically boots into download mode, regardless of bootloader.
Sent from my GT-I9100T
I had these issues - installed the old bootloader and away went the yellow triangle after inserting the USB Jig.
The counter would not reset but I found a "GT-I9100_counter_patch.tar" file which I flashed (PDA) and then inserting the USB Jig it reset the binary counter to zero
PM me if you would like the patch file
So i need to send in my phone for repairs because my battery gets drained like crazy and i tried everything to stop it. (dozen different roms/kernels completely "naked" without ANY apps and it still drains ~10% an hour).
so anyway, my JIG worked fine all the time (got me into download mode every time), but since i need to reset the binary counter i flashed the XWKG1 firmware and the old bootloader through odin and everything works fine, except my JIG does not bring me into download mode anymore. when i plug it in, the phone just boots normally. i can get into download mode with 3 button method but it just shows me that the counter is still on 1.
any suggestions?
searching for this matter is kinda hard, because "jig not working" brings up all kinds of threads about the jig not resetting due to newer bootloader, and "jig not starting download mode" doesnt bring the desired results either.
so any help would be much appreciated.

strange!!!
Home made jig or purchased one? Sometime any short circuite on the jig resisters???
if available try with another jig...
you can flash again old bootloader and try.
purchased one. i already opened it up to check for short circuit, and the color coding of the resistor is correct aswell (301k)...

If the jig is working properly then you should get to dl mode with old bootloader. You can get info regarding how to install it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and here http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/23/...oader-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-to-enable-usb-jig/

Yeah I guess. Bootloader is not the problem, as it worked before. Plus, according to other threads, ICS bootloader works with jig, but it only force-boots to download, not flashing Odin counter. As stated, that doesn't even work.

Hello,
My Samsung Galaxy S2 is bricked. No way to enter download or recovery mode. Black screen... nothing to do to fire it.
Probably the bootloader is corrupted.
Does exist a tool for Exynos 4210 / S5PC210 like the one from Adam Outler "Unbrickable" for Exynos 3110 / S5PC110 ?
Thank you,

Ps. no need to answer about JIG, it doesn't work in this case of figure. JTAG tools exist... Yes I know! thank you BUT needs to solder a tiny tiny JTAG connector... and I don't own a RIFF JTAG Box nether a schematic of JTAG pinpoints on Galaxy S2 mother board...

I flashed it longtime ago to ICS 4.03 / rooted with ODIN v3 - no problem at all.
Few weeks ago it crashed during firefox update... I reboot it, it crashed during the boot. I reboot it again and it got bricked!

The last method would be JTAG but before that i would like too try to fix it...
I have 2 dead boot i9100 and 1 corrupted emmc i9100g...
If any1 have any idea pls do let me know.
I can try it but i dont hv those super soldering skills...

Our phone suffering of eMMC bugbrick trouble
NEVER try to wipe data on a eMMC brickbug! (with ROM and kernel NOT safe, 4.04...)
It will hard brick your phone... (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242)

Ps. If you find a way with JTAG, I'm interesting cause my phone is still vulnerable.
If you find a way to setup boot sequence to USB I'm very interesting! (the best should be to contact Adam Outler, Rebellos and this seems too interesting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916796)
