USB Jigs - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So, I was wondering how many people here know about USB test jigs.
In all but the most extreme cases, they can unbrick a Galaxy phone. So far, every Galaxy-class device has worked with these. I was only wondering because all of the threads about people returning their phones to Sprint because the somehow bricked it.
I would say at this point, that anyone who wants to mess with one of these phones, such as flashing a ROM, CWM, or one of these early root methods, should either make or buy one. If you don't want to make one, they're on Amazon, which is about as mainstream as you can get.
This message brought to you by the number seven, and the letter Q.

Can you explain what a jig is? sounds complicated.

Basically if you bork your phone and cannot acces "Dowload Mode" to flash a new Rom by using the 3 button press, this Jig will put your phone in download mode for you so you wouldnt have to return your phone to Sprint

I'm making one now so I can get rid of the stupid yellow triangle.

I am lazy, have one on the way...

That's the only reason I didn't get that one, would have taken forever to get.

Made it and used it. No more yellow warning and I show as having an official samsung binary!

Good info here...
I never heard of these until now.
For those making them; how do you do that? I'm ok as far as soldering etc but not sure what else is involved.

i still have mine from back on the captivate that i made

Your past posts says different.
But even if you only did what you said, I wouldn't want a Note 2 that as been flashed with custom recovery. Just my thing.
I always try to check things out before buying something. But that is just my cautious self speaking.
BTW - Did you get your LG Nexus 4 yet? How do you like it? And how is the battery life?
I doubt he got it yet, I ordered an 8 gig for the wife Nov 27th, the second round of sales and got through at 5:01pm, mine says its going to ship Jan 2. The 16 gigs may be different, though.
LOL, this has been humorous how Google arranged to have low stock of N4 so that they can be sold by other retailers at the high cost while having just enough to maintain high buzz during shopping season.

Will Samsung notice?

Hi guys, I made the rookie mistake of flashing a international rom on my Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999) and now I have a very expensive paper holder. I called Samsung and they told to send it over for them to fix it, but they also told me that if it was water damage, misuse, etc... That I would be charge for the repair. Well to the point. My question is, will they notice that it was something I flashed or the custom recovery?
Most likely that they will.
Have you tried Odin with a stock tar?
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
$60 for a JTAG I think.

T- Mobile shows only S3 LTE Variant

I was checking out the T-Mobiles' web site and saw that there is NO other versions of the S3 only the LTE variant that just came out.
Found this interesting not sure if other knew about this or ?
I had spoken to them as I just purchased my S3 in Jan and was told I could do a trade in and $150.00 out of pocket... No thanks ....
Correct. The T999L is replacing the T999 across the board. No reason to sell the old one anymore.

No, thats not the firmware, its just how they named the Pebble Blue one on their website. Ive no idea why they did it this way, but its simply how they differentiate the different colors.
T999MBATMB = Pebble Blue
T999RWATMB = Marble White

I'm trying my luck at it now, I doubt it though - I'm sure they have tons of s3's coming back in (trade ins) or refurbs stocked and ready to go. $20 for a replacement while still in warranty, eek.
