Try one/all of these.
1.
Remove battery.
Hold volume down.
Replace battery.
2.
Remove battery.
Hold volume down/home/power
Replace battery.
3.
Use USB Jig to power device into download mode (Use forum search).

I've studied that english language variant back in the day and I think he meant "can't I just usa an usb jig?"
But I could be wrong.

No, As far as I reckon he assumed it was all one method instead of 3 separate possible methods. Its only the last one he needs the USB jig.

You perform steps 1 & 2, but did not succeed and I have no electrical resistance required for the manufacture of usb jig I'm in a place where there is no and can not be shipped to Can I extract electrical resistance of any device in the house? What are the specifications of this resistance

Do a Google search for 'make Samsung Galaxy S2 jig'.

Wow. If you can't get it shipped to you, are there any electronic stores in the area? Maybe a cellphone repair shop that has jigs?
Building yout own would require you to cut a microusb cable, dissassemble a household applience (hopefully finding the right resistor) and soldering the resistor to the cable. Are you sure you cannot just buy it from somewhere? Ask from someone? There's a thread about finding jigs in your area. Try looking there.

[Q] How to use USB Jig on Galaxy S3

Can somebody help on using jig for S3 to reset counter..
I think it is some bootloader issue
USB jig does not work on S3 to reset flash counter
If you want to reset your flash counter, just use triangle away from Chainfire
Deleted.
They look like standard USB recovery jigs to access download mode only .
jje
The Jigs stopped resetting the counter on the second GB-bootloader for the S2.
You need the app 'Triangle Away' to reset the counter.
Download mode works fine with the jig, don't throw it away.
Can I get into download mode using a JIG? Where can I get one. My phone will not go into download mode, it will not do anything.

That's what I wrote in the post above yours.
Yes. But only if the phone is not completely hard-bricked (meaning, it has a defective bootloader)

Ebay, repair shops, and the other usual locations.
If you're any good with a soldering iron you can build one yourself. It is basically a 301kOhm (1% tolerance) resistance between Pin3 and Pin5 of the MicroUSB plug, so all you need is a cable you can chop off and the resistance (or it's parts, e.g. 300kOhm + 1kOhm)

Well I guess mine is really hard bricked cuz this resistor trick does not work. Already tried. I work in the tech indusctry with access to all the stuff and many years of soldering so I'm confident in my setup.

Are resistors now considered dangerous goods and sales have to be restricted?
You ma have (access to) a compatible JTAG unit if you're in the tech industry, so unbricking should still not be impossible

The information is almost totally correct... the resistance is between pin 4 and pin 5

I bought from ebay a Jig for S2 for €1.5, but it is not working on my S3, plugging it with phone on or off or after removing battery has no effect, never bring the phone in Download mode...
is the jig for S2 not compatible with S3 or I got a bad jig?

US Cellular Galaxy S3 Hard Bricked
my US Cellular Galaxy S3 has recently hard bricked after attempting to install a rom called energy 2.0 when i attempted to install it said something about a boot.img i dont know if it was bad thing i dont recall and a code 7 error installation aborted.
so after it said that i just decided id keep the KitKat 4.4 rom i had and left CWM through the restart phone option. so after i hit that it turned off and never turned back on, i cant access Download Mode, Recovery Mode or anything no vibration no nada. so i recently decided to purchase a USB JIG from ebay in hopes that it will set it to download mode? however knowing that i have a US Cellular model (SCH-R830U I Believe) all of the descriptions in ebay for the JIGs say that they work for Sprint models, Verizon models and so on but nothing about them working for US Cellular models, so my question is does anyone know if it will work?, i bought it hoping it will work but i just want to know so i dont get my hopes up haha? thanks.

Galaxy s II goes into boot cyle after replacement usb port installed

So after my original usb port completely crapped out on me I bought a replacement online. After installing when I plug in my usb it immediately reboots and just does this reboot cycle again and again. I've tried two separate usb ports, both do the same. The any ideas?
You've been hit up by the original Cyanescen
You might not have everything securely fastened to the mainboard. Check that first.
Its like something is shorting out or isnt grounded.

I think it was uh improper grounding hence the importance of sticky tape that comes on the components. I took it apart again and just stuck it down all that much better and it seems to work properly now

Hey I was wondering, could you send me the link to the one you bought? I bought one online but they sent me the wrong one, and refunded my order so if you could send me the link to the working one that would be great! Thanks

So basically you created a thread for no reason. Cable damaged by the touchscreen sensor. Touchscreen does not work. End of story.

the cable is the reason??
the breaded cable are four or five lines.and they are connected to metal surface(i think they are GND)~

ok and the cable that you have circled, the tip of that goes to the touchscreen/digitizer. you said it yourself, "my touch screen is not work......" That's a clear indication that you should look at threads about the digitizer. What are people doing? They are replacing the digitizer and/or the cable. So what's the problem? Go buy a replacement cable. Why did you create a thread when you already know what your problem is, what the effect of the problem is, have a handful of threads discussing your problem already in existence that you refused to/were too lazy to read/go look for, and have various sites such as ebay at your disposal to fix your problem?

i have changed three touchscreen and two fingerprint~
and this touchscreen(include digitizer ) is just used Only a month~
the touchscreen not work ,and then i open the phone to see what is the problem , and then Break the cable~
i just want to know the breaked place have effect of touchscreen? because thay are only GND, not signal or VCC

You don't know that. It might look like it but I'm sure it actually isn't.
What is the point on having that many pins where all of them connect to GND?
If that piece had no function, they wouldn't even put it in, don't you think?

they are all connected to metal surface of back of the screen~
maybe function just like this :

or something about Static conducting~
i just want to know they are obligatory?
it is feasible for weld another wire to the back of screen ?
if they are obligatory and can not be repaired , i will buy a cable~ i do't want to pay too much money ,the phone worth just ¥300 and i have pay ¥200+ to rpair it .

[Q] Galaxy S3 (i9300) won't charge

So I got this strange problem where my phone stopped charging. I tried diffrent cables, adapters, charging it while being off, charging it via the computer and even tried to adjust the little lip in the micro usb port. Is the charging board dead? If it is, will a replacement be expensive?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Free mobile app
Well dude I think your assumption is right.
It might be the charging circuit only which may be dead.
Because as you told that you have tried diffrent cabels and chargers but still your charging is not working which means that the usb micro port through which we charge and connect our phone to computer is damaged and should be replaced .
There are many possible reason of damaging usb port like you may have drop your phone or by using faulty cabels and chargers or if u have rooted your phone then there is possibility of changing the voltage of current to more than 1000 Mhz etc etc.
You should try to flashed a complete stock rom by downloading from sammobile or directly using kies to update or re-flash your phone
you can try that may it may help you.

Nah, it won't turn on because the battery is empty.. I don't have a spare so it seems buying a new board is my only hope..
I saw there are loads of micro usb connectors on ebay. If I solder a new one on. Might that help?

You can try micro usb port which is available on ebay but it would be extremely very dangerous until and unless you know what you are doing.
My suggestion is to give your phone to the samsung care and tell then to repair it.
If your phone is in warranty then they will do it for free. You just need to provide them a copy of bill at the time you purchased s3.
Press THANKS if I helped you

thanks your video guide was very helpful. i replaced the usb controller. now i have another problem. i broke of the ribbon cable of the volume keys. how can i get into recovery now? by the way its also softbricked right now.
Sorry fella....There are only 3 ways I know of that don't use the volume keys......
1) ADB commands
2) An app that works from a booted device
3) the extended power button menu available in xposed and custom roms....
From what you've said, none of those is available to you.....
Without getting the volume button ribbon fixed, you're pretty much stuffed.......
If you're ok with a soldering iron, you can get the part here.....
