[Q] USB Jig query - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I received my USB Jig this morning.
I put it in my powered off S3 and booted straight into download mode. :good:
I am rooted on stock firmware and have previously run triangle away so I have 0 binary count etc.
The systems status said official when using the jig. However when I boot into download mode using the three button method it says custom?
Can anyone tell me why this is.?
Thanks

What's hboot? As i said i can't enter in download mode or recovery mode
AFAIK The official ki3 updates the bootloader and that blocks the usb jig.

When you try to power the phone on, what happens?

The JIG does not get blocked with the new bootloaders, it just does not clear the counters in the same way, but DLM can still be entered with the JIG.

I can't power on the phone. It's totally dead
Recovery is as follows
One enter Download Mode
No Download Mode then try USB Jig to force download mode .
Phone off put usb jig in usb port boots to download mode .
Fails
Then its a service centre job .
jje
plug your jigg in your phone and then you will come in the download mode,
don't restart your phone. plug your usb-cable in, then open ODIN
find stock rom and flash it.
Do you guys even read what he said? JIG DID NOT WORK...

Bro, I know but sometimes you can not open Download mode, so with JIG you can come in to Download mode
then you flash the stock with ODIN

Jeez no download mode jig does not work as posted .
I gave a run through of correct route just in case OP was doing something wrong with a return to service centre if all failed .
jje
Yeah the JIG does not work, i will contact a service centre tomorrow
Just curious... Does anyone know what sort of gear a service centre might have that can talk to a SGS2 after its gone to such a 'dark place' that even a JIG can't wake it up? I always thought a JIG was all you needed...

Unrooted my sg2 I think?

Hello , I rooted my s II a while ago but I wanted my warrenty back so I wanted to unroot but I didn't have to usb Jig.
But , today I updated my firmware on kies and root checker says my root is gone so does that mean the counter is reset ? and also how do I check the counter?
Sorry for such nooby questions but well I got to start somewhere.
A USB jig is currently the only way to reset the counter. You can confirm that it is still > 0 by booting into download mode (vol down+home+power).

Look , i had the bootloop once. I tried to power down my device, but it wouldn't work. Took out the battery and it powered on itself - bootloop. Try holding Volume Up + Home + Power buttons to get into recovery mode and then clear data/cache. I remember holding the buttons for 10 seconds before it actually rebooted to recovery
But if you read the heading of this thread gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck, it says the home button is broke....

I'm not sure his button is really broke , cuz he didn't mention it anywhere in his post , just in the heading... Which makes no sense, who does any kind of flashing if their hardware button is broke... If it really is , then it's his fault for not taking it to repair first...

Device wont boot

My phone was playing up recently thinking it was charging when it wasn't plugged in. Then one night I tried plugging it and and bang, ripped all the contacts off the inside of the micro USB.
Phone continued to work until the battery died. Now the phone wont turn on with a fresh battery... Any advice as to why? Or at least what I can do. I was running cm9 so I guess that counts out warranty?
Thanks

Greetings,
I'm having a similar issue - I was trying to root my wife's Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100G and now all I see is a yellow triangle w/ an exclamation mark...
Odin 3v1.85 (Android+SLP) does not recognize the device.
Neither can I boot to download mode or recovery mode.
I think I'm in deep trouble...
Any guidance is greatly appreciated,

Check your model number on the label under the battery. What is it?

If you can see an exclamation mark it means your phone is still alive.
Run odin 1.85 >>> boot your phone >> then connect it to your PC odin should recognize it wait for the com port to turn yellow.
Flash another firmware ur done.

You have to put it in download mode before you plug it in to the computer to be able to flash firmware through odin

Not necesarry i've soft bricked my phone before so I know as I did the same
Not necessarily. The NAND can still be stuffed/unfixable by the user & still boot to a warning triangle.
No download mode, no boot & no connectivity b/w phone & PC = stuffed phone & return to service centre or JTAG.

Good Morning - the model number is: GT-I9100G
Have u tried flashing from the boot screen?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Do you have a USB JIG that you could use to try force your phone into download mode? If not, you can either make one (guide found on XDA), or else buy one off eBay for like £2. It's worth a shot.
Chris.

Try this.
And in the future make sure anything you flash to that particular phone is meant for the i9100G, not the i9100.
Edit to add: if you can't get to download mode with the button combination, you'll of course need a jig as themadba suggests.

Galaxy S3 Stuck at Boot Screen (Samsung Logo)

Good day gentlemen,
It seems that my S3 would not start/boot up as it only shows the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo and keeps restarting itself. I rooted it before and it worked but the issue was that when I tried to flash a ROM it apparently failed and then the above happened. Any helps would be highly appreciated. Also I'd like to note that I am able to access Download Mode.

You need to enter recovery mode and wipe all data and caches, then reboot and see what happens...
enter recovery mode (hold home + volume up + power)
choose wipe data / factory reset

my problem is there is problem with my rom and hence i am getting the same problem mentioned earlier in this thread. i used everything including samsung galaxy s 3 root toolbox kit 7.0
but then also my pc is not showing me phone status.
my phone is just having only downloading mode. no other thing except the "boot screen" available in my phone.
my question is... how do i overcome to this problem? i wanna re-install the stock rom which i already have. and i know how to install the stock rom. ALL I WANNA KNOW IS WHAT TO DO TO GET VISIBLE STATUS IN ODIN SOFTWARE. AS I THINK THERE MUST BE SOME PROBLEM IN DRIVER.(I TRIED SAMSUNG PHONE DRIVERS, SAMSUNG KIES AND SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 ROOT TOOLBOX KIT 7.0)
PLEASE GIVE ME PROPER DRIVER SO THAT I CAN MANAGE
THANKS

In that case you need a service centre if reading the FAQS and Guides re Odin and drivers has failed . Probable damaged USB port .

Thanks man.. you know for this reason i format my pc too. But then also it wont work.. now as per you . Service center is last option.
but as per your saying.. my phone's usb driver got damaged. Right? But what it means? I used only the same data cable which i got with my phone.
is it possible that i will get this data cable issue resolved after visiting service center?
And how much possibilities to get my phone back in working condition if i will get it to service station?(asking cause i read that my phone got bricked)

Man i wrote it wrongly... I only get two things 1 is download mode and another if i try to go for recovery my phone only stuck at samsung logo(so called boot screen )
please provide ur valuable solution
1. uninstall kies
2. install the usb drivers
3. use a different usb port/cable/pc
Google search for samsung drivers 1.4.6, I had a similar problem and the latest drivers dont recognise my device but 1.4.6 does. I would link it for you but I am on my phone.
