Do USB Jigs work with SGM?

Do these products work for the SGM? I saw somebody mentioning a jig to recover bricked phone somewhere here (related to SGM), but my request for clarification was not answered. Hence, creating this thread.
What software is required to use them?
And anybody got heimdall to work?

1.- Remove both the SIM card and de microSD card.
2.- KEEP YOUR BATTERY REMOVED
3.- Apply the Download-mode button combination (known by you all)
4.- WHILE HOLDING THE COMBINATION, insert the battery, and keep the buttons pressed untill you get the download mode.
5.- Flash your phone with a valid firmware through Odin (Preferebly, have Odin prepared before doing this trick)
i saw many people posting this trick n it worked for galaxy series n sgm too..if it is hard bricked then also..i dont think this device jig is required to unbrick,,,.
u r asking of software it is ODIN v4.38 download it by searching on google

Yes i confirm , work but no with hardware bricked SGM (black screen)

Thanks for this info. By "black screen", I hope you mean that the phone had neither download mode, nor battery charging sign??
Which jig did you use?
Can you describe the method or provide links?

In my case By "black screen", I mean that once i nstalled ROM MANAGER my phone does not start and shows only black screen and the phone had neither download mode, nor battery charging sign, in this case jig does not help.

But when I downgread my phone he died again, then I used my hand-made jig and after restart my phone enter in downlosd mode. I used this method - search this in google - How I did: Restore soft-bricked Samsung Galaxy I9000. But I guess you can use the link which I will send a P.M

Were you able to bring back to life your galaxy mini? I'm in the same situation (black screen due to ram manager) but my home made jig doesn't work. (Although it works with galaxys and galaxy s2).
Any idea or suggestion?

I managed to return my phone to my provider cervice , in this case it is the only solution for our phone. There told me that they changed the motherboard to fix it.

yeah it works depending on how your phone is bricked, mines really really hard bricked, no download mode, no charging ****, and odin nor doesnt recognize it, the only option is to surrender it to the carrier u bought it from

Hmm, many had problems with ROM Manager as I could see, and I guess its the reason for bricking. I'm never gonna use it anyways !!
Btw, I'm concerned about how the Service Center unbricks our device ?
We can't do that manually ?
I understand if its a hardware bricked stage, then no other option rather than handing the device to them.

search google for for jtag. You need a jtag jig, which connects directly to the mother board (and not the usb jig). There is one available, but is real expensive, afaik.

thank you very much

confirmed, my usb jig , which works with i9000 doesn't work with my wife's SGM...

Yes it works. I Tested it myself.
But only on soft bricks not on hard bricks.
I can give you a video if you want just pm me. ^_^

With the SGM, you do not need a jig if it is only a soft brick. As long as you can enter download mode, ODIN works.

precisely.
btw those issues with rom manager.... it doesn't happen to me.

So if my phone doesn't turn on in any mode, is not recognized by odin, that means I have hardware brick? And USB jig will not work, right?

no! if read ur testimony
its caused ur wrong flash kernel , only one way is use "jtag" to flash the recovery kernel. then flash custom .
usb jig only purpose for softbricked.
hope it answers thy question

So in repair service they use these jtag tools?

Actually, there might still be hope, USB Jig works, you can make one by stripping the USB cord's end and connect 3 100k ohms resistors on two points, I can post photos if you want.
If your bootloader is already damaged by a bad flash, just hope your factory download mode's partition isn't also damage. If not, then the jig will work.
Also if anybody would like, here's my thread on how to flash stock ROMs 100% safe.

Now you are a funny one, huh?
Anyways it doesn´t look too good. Seems you´ve crushed the bootloader, which is a very bad idea
Try to take out the accu for about 2 hours.
If still not even a single picture can bee seens, it´s a very bad sign.
- btw. does the loading picture/animation show up when trying to load?
- try starting Handy with download-mode (down)
- try starting Handy with CWM (Mode) (up)
I´d sugguest (re-)flashing a bootloader, but since you reported Odin doesn´t find a device...it still just doesn´t look to good...sorry mate

hi , thank you for replaying , ok in case i crashed the boot louder , do you think if i gave it to sumsong as its still under warranty they will find out ??

What did you try to flash with Odin ? ICS rom, stock ?
No idea about the warranty - theoritically you have no right to flash anything yourself using 3rd party software, but since oficial Kies uses similar methods, if you tried to flash stock ROM they might not find out.
But first, try the method proposed by DJ-Tumor, press volume down+home+power and see if it turns on into download mode.

He already said he can't boot into download mode.
(Now you are a funny one, huh?) May be Tumor really got a tumor in his brain.

You'll have to get a Jig and try to boot with it.

thank you for your replay , I tried usb jig and it's not working .. when i tried to change the system it was an official one wasn't custom .

thank you for replaying , I have tried to get into the download mode but the phone Doesn't turn on do you think if i crashed the boot loader , can i fix it somewhere or that's it i lost the phone ??

maybe you've selected the wrong PIT file.
Is your phone a 16 or a 32gb note ?

My Galaxy Note Is DEAD!!

Hi everybody, I searched everywhere for a solution but no luck
i love my note so much that if i couldnt fix it i think im gonna kill myself.
let me tell you the whole story, maybe you can revive my note again.
im a daily rom flasher, sometimes even 2 or 3 roms a day,
i wanted to flash ics stunner rom so i went into cwm recovery,flashed the zip file and wanted to format data\factory reset, but while the phone was formatting i accidently pressed the power button, the phone was stuck and didn't complete formatting, i took the battery out, put it back in and powered the phone, it was stuck at the bootscreen GTn7000 Galaxy Note.
I got into download mode and flashed a stock rom, but it was the same.
i downloaded and flashed other stock roms but it was stuck at the bootscreen.
then i wanted to flash a stock rom that came with a Pit file, i did everythig correctly, and Odin was stuck at the partition thing, for more than 15 minutes.
i unpluged the phone i pressed the power button, NOTHING!!
i officially bricked my phone which i worked so hard for months to get it.
i tried everything,even the jig thing, i couldn't buy so i had to make one.
maybe i did somethig wrong with the jig or maybe because i didnt solder it or the usb plug im using isnt working.
this may be relevant, i pluged the usb OTG in the phone and in the OTG was a bluetooth peice for computers, the piece had a light, and the light was ON.
Another thing that if i leave the battery in the phone for a while, the camera area in the back gets a little hot, my phone always did that meaning its still alive.
i may have written too much, forgive me but im really desperate.
Thanks in advance.

You probably end up going to Samsung. Pay €200 and get a new motherboard.
Good luck.

WOW...
the problem is that i live in a fu**ed up country and we dont have samsung here.
all phones come without warranty and by smuggling from other countries

You mentioned killing yourself. Bro it's just a phone... Hang in there!!!

First thing donot flash Ics now untill you are craze about it.2nd donot use CWM as much as possible.Read this.
Ok to the problem now.Since you say it gets hot,it might be still alive.Remove the battery and insert it after 10 secs and insert the jig and after few secs press vol up button.Now connect the phone to computer and see if its detected if it does try flashing abyy's kernel.I dont know which kernel for sure.Somebody might help you.People were able to get into DL mode when there screen were not showing anything.

There are situations when your phone is working, but your screen is black.
Let's hope yours is one of those...Try this:
1. Don't flash Abyss. Download a stock GB Rom instead.
2. Charge your phone for a couple of hours. You need your battery for the
following steps.
3. After charging, take out your battery and wait 1 minute
4. Put it back in
5. Boot into Download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power) (you will see only black screen)
6. Count to 10
7. Press Volume Up
8. Count to 10
9. Start your PC Odin
10. Connect your phone to PC
11. Wait untill PC installs the necessary drivers
12. If all goes well, your PC Odin will flash the yellow light with COM info in it
13. Flash your stock GB Rom
If this doesn't work, you'll need to think of the ways of getting your phone JTagged or where to get a new motherboard.

Dude, if you have no way of repairing a bricked phone in your country then stay away from flashing custom ROMs!!!

Bro as u mentioned already that u flashed stock once...all root and cmw will be wiped... i would prefer going to samsung service center and tell them that u were updating your phone through kies and after the update completed ur phone stopped working... they will fix it for free... and act innocent

Your phone is pretty much dead I'm afraid
Why didn't you bother to read stickies first?
It has been known for several weeks now that doing a wipe from CWM in a leaked recovery (I.e all ICS ROMs except cm9 official) will lead to a corrupted emmc drive ,thus a dead phone
And no ,you pressing the power button had nothing to do with it being stuck
The moment you hit wipe from ICS stunner's recovery your phone was dommed.
Anyway what's done is done ,now find an unofficial repair shop and replace your motherboard.
I hope this makes it clear ,and good luck to you.

OK, how much will it cost me ?
by the way i forgot to mention that before i bricked the note, it had a charging problem, saying voltage too high,charging stopped,and when the phone is turned off the battery icon keeps appearing and disapearing, could it be that the jig is not working because of that??

Try a different USB cable?

You're not going to like this: I had to send my phone back to Samsung to get that fixed. Basically the charging port was shorting out, happens when stuff gets inside it (dirt, moisture, etc, from what I read). You could try cleaning it, but for me the port didn't break, it just acted like it was charging when there was nothing plugged in. So the JIG will work if it's supposed to.

It's easy you just have to make a bridge between two connectors (OMX5 and OMX0) and after you flash a software. If this manipulation can make my phone like a survivor i can do it ^^

Don't worry about that the GS2 has a counter who is incremented when u flash a non official software it's a trick that the constructor used to help the Samsung's technicians to know if you can use the guarantee or not but the GS1 isn't equipped of this system, then it doesn't matter.

so @drakester20 are u saying that i can give it samsung and they wont know and charge mer nothing?

yeah dude.. they wont know ur binary resets anyway.. if u had sgs2 then they could have figured it out in download mode coz there it is written in download mode..
u can give it a try though...

@drakester20 so what did u tell samsung when your phone got briked.
Just found found out that my phone still has warranty till the end of next moth.
What should I say to them?
Should i say i used samsung kies to update then a failure message came on my screen ?
What should i say as I am running out of time and my warranty is nearly about to go?

WRONG SECTION!
To be lazy it's NOT ALLOWED on XDA forums! FIRST READ RULES and then read the posts completely ten times and finally read it again!!! ...and if you understand them, you'll try any modifications
Are your device a available warranty yet? send it to the technical service
...if not, you can say goodbye to your phone

Bro, try to follow the guide. Just pressing Vol Down+ Power+ Home button is completely different from preparing your odin, removing battery, connecting phone to computer, inserting the battery and pressing Vol Down+ Power + Home button. This method can, in the best case scenario, force open Download Mode. Give it a try! You have nothing to lose but something to gain. If this doesn't work, guide also provides details on USB Jig which is your last option. Hope I helped

@info2shail2010 had the similar problem but he was able to go to Download mode using that guide. Sadly since that didn't work for you, your only option will be USB Jig. If that doesn't work either then buy a new phone

I haven't used USB Jig or even made one, so can't help you here. But you can use the following guide to make your own,

I hope you can unbrick your Samsung Galaxy Ace. Good Luck! Hope I helped

No bro... i am not able to go to in download mode... i told you... i was using Vol up + power + home key... i was mistakenly thinking it was downloading mode because it was connecting in Odin..... but u told me that is not downloading mode ... that is RamDump mode..... so .. i also cant go to download mode by pressing Vol down + power + home key.... its dead and not responding.. ....

The USB Jig method is just working for softbricked (it can boot, but looping) phones but can't go to recovery or download mode. So, it's not working for hardbricked phone

Bro, but the above guide says the USB jig for Samsung devices force the device into download mode so you can flash firmware over Odin and restore it to working order. Are you sure about what you said?
