You can make yourself a USB jig if you have a spare USB cable and the necessary parts.

Power reset or unknown upload mode + phone wont start at all???

PROBLEM???
1) I have an GT I9000G Galaxy SII wid official stock gingerbread for India
2) I was listening to music then suddenly... the phone rebooted itself and displayed the green android logo saying POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE
3) now the phone wont turn on despite pressing power button and cant enter into recovery or download mode...
what i have done so far....
1) take out sim... sdcard... battery...
2) connect GSII to laptop with odin 1.8x running
3) put battery back on while pressing both vol up n down button
.... this was supposed to bring back download mode according to http://androidforums.com/vibrant-tips-tricks/223806-guide-fixing-bricks-odin-errors.html
...but no download mode for me....
Anyone have any idea abt what to do???
Request: plz dont tell me to send it to samsung service center....
THANKX FOR UR REPLY
Not Vol up and down!!!! Vol down + home button and power button. This is For download Mode....
power off the phone.
hold the volume down+home+power button. this will boot u into download mode.
ten connect to pc and use odin to flash
c'mon guys... dont tell me you thought i dont know how to enter the download mode.... what u are suggesting is for normal phones (vol down+home+power)... if u read my problem once again u will know that my phone is not turning on at all... nomatter how long i press the power button (battery is fully charged) and there was a strange msg "power reset or unknown upload mode" with green android robot in the screen before all this started!!! so if u have any idea abt how to fix this... do comment... although im considering sending back my s2 to samsung service center... anyways thankx

Try to use a jig.......
hey Gnom2509
you should be more clear because if you search jig it would show a dance or tool or whatever in the search results. rajeshbabushrestha he means a usb jig.
I'm very sorry. My fault. I thought a usb jig. It will force the Download Mode,........maybe.
Update
i took my phone to samsung service center and apparently there was a problem with motherboard... solution: changing motherboard im posting this to help others who might have this type of problem in future :fingers-crossed:
TRY
Remove facebook. I did and it worked.

Samsung Galaxy Ace 5830i bootloop

Hello Guys, i need some help My samsung galaxy ace i is on bootloop and the volume down button doesn't work, how can i do a hard reset without it? or even flash it in download mode? I didn't try to root it or something, it just become that way.
I would really appreciate some help, i'm really stuck here! Thank you very much
can you go to download mode by press and hold Vol-up + Vol-down + Power ?
if you can go to download mode, you can flash stock firmware through Odin, do with instruction in here:

If the Ace follows the same 'structure' as other Samsung devices, then a USB JIG will get you to download mode without having to use the button combo.....
You simply plug it into the usb port on the device and it will automatically force download mode.
You can get them for 'pocket change' off eBay........
You WILL have to get that button sorted at some point though.......

Samsung I8190L bootloop no home button

need some urgent help,
i have a samsung Galaxy s3 mini (i8190L)
home button is not working and i just got bootlooped while flashing Slimkat
is there a way besides the Usb jig to access download mode, o TWRP?
The home button didn't work before or it just stopped working after flashing the rom? That would be really strange... But without booting to use adb for recovery then a jig would be the only way.
Have you attempted download mode?

SGSII no bootloader

Hello guys,
I have accidentally deleted all internal partitions of my I9100 cause a stupid option called
Code:
SdCard repartition
from recovery, so i have no /system no /data no boot no recovery no DL no anything... :crying:
I tried JIG but no luck .
is there any solution without JTAG services because we don't have it in our country and i won't like to change the motherboard too
and thanks .
Hello, if this works for you.
Turn off the phone. Enter the device into the boot mode by pressing simultaneously the Volume Down, OK, Power ON / OFF buttons, confirming with the Volume Up key the desire to flash.

Thanks bro but my phone has no boot-loader so i can't access to download mode or recovery.
My I-9100 is hard bricked, and the unique solution that i found is repair boot-loader using only JTAG box which is not available in my country.
Is there any other solution?
and thanks

[guide] how to make your own usb jig
If you’ve soft bricked your Galaxy S2 (and can’t get into download mode) or you want to reset the ODIN download counter (so no one will no you’ve rooted your Galaxy S2), or you just simply
want to remove the i9100 splash screen, you can make a USB jig to solve all your problems.
What is a USB jig?
USB jig is a simple circuit that allows you to reset the download mode and also get into it for Samsung smartphones (can work on other Samsung phones besides the Galaxy S2) just in case something goes wrong. On a soft brick, this can save your phone as it will enter into download mode.

Thanks but my phone is "HARD BRICKED" i have no partitions no bootloader no downloadmode binary when i power on my device no splash screen appear, i tried a real JIG but no luck, the only solution that i found is using jtag service and as i said we don't have it in our country also it costs more than new phone price.
So that, i came here to help me to find another solution.
In addition to that i have an arduino board, if its possible to turn it into jtag programmer it can be awesome.
Hope that you can help me.
And thanks
