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?

How do you use the jig to reset the counter? Turn off and then plug it in? Does that automaticallyreset it?

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.

Purchased. Thanks for the link.
Nope old jig didn't work alone or with the button combo for me.

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.

Quick question do i have to do anything else to the phone before i send back to samsung
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.

Yes I did and it won't let me go into download mode
Can you force download mode by plugging in while holding sound up and dowb and power buttons or is it just sound up and down?
Edit-
On the i9100 thread you already asked in.

I saw you asked if it worked for i777 if its not in this section don't try to flash it to this phone. There the same phone but its not exactly the same so that's why we have ports from the i9100 from the first 5-6 pages I read they are hardly able to get things fully working and a list of broken items like wifi camera ect.

I was just gonna say, when they get into Download mode and check that flash counter, or see that yellow triangle, that replacement is gonna cost you full price.. And you can bet they'll automatically tack it on to your next bill.

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.

Lol no i reset the counter before i bricked and it is stock i9100 recovery so they look the same but the button configuration is different

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.

Hello to all. I have a problem that seems quite serious and I do not know what to do.
Basically, I tried to install on my phone firmware Mozilla Boot to Gecko, through recovery of kernel siyah v5.0, doing a restore of the file found on this page: harjunpaa.fi/B2G/
Of course, the firmware, which is in pre-alpha, is full of bugs. Among these, during calls, my partner could not hear my voice.
I then decided to run a deep clean to go back to android. So I went into recovery and I noticed that I had ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4, which is indicated on the first page above to perform the restore. So, instead of proceeding with the deep clean, I tried again to do a restore through this recovery.
The process actually lasted a bit 'more time than the first, and I thought then that I was doing the right thing.
Finished everything I restarted the phone, but nothing. Black screen. Then I removed the battery and tried to turn it on normally, but nothing. The phone does not even go into recovery or download mode. I also tried to force the download mode by inserting the jig key, but still nothing.
At this point I find myself with a brick that will not start in any way and do not know what to do. Of course, before I do this, I loaded the battery to 100%, so there is no danger that it is unloaded.
Please, I'm desperate, help me.
Sorry for my bad english. Thanks.
JTAG repair (if possible) or service centre. Can't see what else you could possibly do given you're getting absolutely nothing from the phone & you've tried a jig.

What is JTAG repair?
Its about £150 cheaper than a mobo replacement.
Do you have warranty.

I think your problem was that you had your phone discharge. My problem, unfortunately, is far more serious.
If it cant start(in any mode),and you have warranty,then samsung will replace the mobo.
i have warranty, but i have the phone rooted, so don't know if I can use it. however I have reset the counter with triangle away.
Send it to Samsung/authorised repairer & see what happens.

If you removed the triangle and did a counter reset, then they can't do anything than repairing your mobile phone. What reasons do they have for refusing repair? Rooting files on your phone? Well they can't look up on what you have stored on your phone, you know, data privacy and stuff...

Hello,my friend has a problem.His phone was flashed and rooted.It worked without any problem but he said that after 2-3 month phone just freezed.He couldn't reset it,so he took battery out.And now he can't turn on phone, only black screen.So now I have tried entering Download mode but without any success.I have no idea what's wrong.It just died like that...Any help?Thanks!
It's in the so called "Paperweight" mode: anything will work. The only way to repair is to send it back to your seller. A JIG won#t work, throwing it through a room won't work... I feel sorry for you:crying:
