It acts similar to vol down+home+power shortcut, but on hardware lvl.
You plug it into your microusb port and push power to boot the phone - it ends up in download mode (to use in Odin)
If this cannot boot into download mode than you are screwed and need mainboard replacement.
for example this (1st one i googled - not sure if it will work for i9070 - the one in the link is for s3):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-MICRO-U...OVER-DOWNLOAD-MODE-ALL-CARRIERS-/130724488168
Or you can do it yourself like this:

(question is if it is same resistance for all phones - pins are standard USB so that is out of the question)

Hmm. in this case, i think you have to buy a custom usb cable to force phone to get back in download mode. i saw ebay have those cables for cheap price or you can make a custom usb cable your self. xda have a thread how to do that

You can try "reboot recovery" in terminal..
Thanks for answering,
I'can get in recovery with the power and home button, but I just can't use it due to the volume buttons issues...Do you know if it works also for the download/(Odin) mode??I can type "reboot download" in the terminal????
Cheers.
Edit: Thanks to sax0406 I've tried with Terminal Emulator to run the "reboot download" command and it worked! Than I've flashed it with Odin.

I see you have sorted your problem but yes, you can do that...
Plug the jig to access download mode, then remove the jig and insert the USB cable and flash with Odin.

Read my faq here, last baseband for our device here, no signal issue here. BTW, I think it's too late now, that you f***** up your phone, anyway try it. Good luck & happy new year!
Does the phone boot? If it does try with adb, from your pc reboot to download (adb reboot download) and then flash the Rom via Odin

Not even turns on? (recovery or something?)
USB JIG will help you
I had the same problem and usb jig helped, now my phone can boot to download mode but when I flash any rom the phone gets stuck when booting. Tried flashing recovery but it doesnt boot that neither, anyone knows how to fix it?

Nothing helps. I bought USB JIG - there's no reaction. I try everything.
I sow on the forum USB JIG with resistors. I bought on "Allegro" it's like eBay on Poland. Now i open this USB JIG and it's without resistors. whether this could be a problem - i have bad USB Jig??
The only activity is when i connect cabel ( from phone to computer) and insert the battery, then computer found and lost (every few seconds) new device called "U8500"
You can see some light in the tunnel?
Thanks for help guys. In Poland - Dziekuje

[Q] Samsung s3 mini bricked

Hi All,
Need some help. My Samsung S3 mini i2800L was flashed with the wrong firmware in an attempt to upgrade to Jellybean 4.2.2 using odin and it failed . It remained in download mode and I did a battery pull ,now the phone is absolutely dead. Black Screen for all the following:Recovery Mode and Download Mode .The phone wont power on at all. The only sign of life , is when I plugged into my girl friend's Toshiba laptop via usb cable and it searched and installed the drivers.In addition Windows makes a sound when the device is plugged in and unplugged, but is not being recognized by Kies or Odin. I also tried a USB JIG with no success.
Is there any debrick file that I can use for to place on my SD card and attempt to boot from SD, or is JTAG the only option left?
Only JTAG

Try this and report back : take out the battery , hold the power button for 30-35 sec and put the battery back without releasing the power button

[Q] S3 MINI Bricked After CWM?

Hello, I have a Rooted S3 MINI 4.1.2. I went into CWM Today to clear my cache, after that I tried to make a backup but it failed at /data so then I just went out and Rebooted the system. When my phone turned got to my lock screen, it froze. It was like that for 30 minutes so I just took the battery out and put it back in. Now when I try to turn my phone on nothing happens. Can't get into Download mode either. Anyone got any suggestions? Is my phone bricked or what?
If you can not enter in download mode it's a serius problem... I'll try to find any solutions.

Italian tutorial, but it's not hard understand the meaning...
Do you try this to enter in Download Mode ?
Make Sure You Are In Download Mode On Your Phone
If having trouble getting into dl mode try this>> take out the battery and leave it out. Plug the phone into the micro usb cable. Plug the USB end into your comp. Hold volume rockers down(either both or vol "-") and reinsert the battery
