USB Jigs

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

I bought that one too. Granted, I have no idea why I need it but I figure if I get stuck I will be happy to have it at 5 bucks.

Just found this on the radioshack system

I will update when prices are available
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Fantastic. I know you said you're looking for prices, but anything on dates?
And anything on a non-Verizon version?

Nope not yet. The sku isn't in the system yet so im still looking.

Thanks. Keep 'em coming!

I really hope google doesn't pull this exclusivity BS for too long.. I can't imagine they won't have this phone out on all carriers for the holidays but you never know what google has in there mind. I think we can all agree that google needs a better marketing strategy..

I'd love to have one next week. I'll stay hopeful.

Well it would be solid proof of a Verizon version here. Weve seen those shots of the 4g Lte logo on the back before but im curious as to where the Samsung logo plays in to this on the final version.

This makes things interesting... pics of description tmrw?
of course, they could just be copying information from the Samsung or Google site right now, which of course lists that there are 2 models.... wouldn't be the first time that a big name electronics store used the wrong description for their system lol. Just something to keep in mind.

Yeah i wouldn't be surprised if it was wrong they also fail to mention ICS or how much memory is on it so i don't know.

Nice. Thanks for the pics. Very interesting it still says "LTE or HSPA+". Still sounds like a general copy/paste list of marketing speak from Samsung given to sellers. Makes me hopeful though.

Interesting that it says 8.94mm thickness, which is the correct thickness for the HSPA+ model, but according to unconfirmed reports from some Chinese sites the thickness of the LTE model should be 9.34mm. This could mean one of two things: RadioShack actually will have two models of the Galaxy Nexus, and they happen to list the HSPA+ model thickness; or like martonikaj said, just a poor copy-paste job from marketing material.

[Request/Info] Nexus 4

Just saw on YouTube this device in action. I saw the camera which I though was fantastic and also the swype feature they have added. YouTube link in next post. Any devs out there up for a task?

Yeah I saw the vid earler and the camera does look great but I cannot stop feeling gutted about the hardware. No removable battery no microSdCard. These are the two main things that I look for in a phone. Are we heading down the road of iSheep where we are told to like what we are given?
Yeah, Yeah, I know the general line of the Nexus has certain design traits but would it really of been that difficult to add the above 2 things and swallow up all the S3 users? I know for one I would have got one if...if only! lol!

I know exactly what you are saying, I think its stupid not having SD card slot and no removable battery. What do you do if you run out of space or need a spare battery because you are travelling for work and don't have any way of charging your phone. Its riduculous . But the camera is looking good and keyboard
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Fingers crossed we can get the camera and keyboard ported over!
I would really like to know who does the market research for these phones. I left HTC becuase they ditched removable batteries and cards. I also know 6 other people that did the same. Take a look at Samsungs market now comapred to HTC and you only need a couple of brain cells to figure it out! I just hope that Samsung do not follow suit!

Hopefully Samsung won't... I really don't see the benefits the companies are getting from that apart from needing to send the phone off to them for repair money

Perhaps my reply took it a little off track but it was comapring it to the S3! and I would certainly not call it bull crap!
At the end of the day "You don't have to read it!"

If a dev could please do this it would be awesome
ps ; i was planning to buy a Nexus 4 but the "no external storage" is not good for me

Agreed, not too sure why they do it, I did read something about them saying it was a Budget thing, if you want a cheap phone, restrict the accesibility of the device (e.g. no removable batter and no SD slot)

I prefer to pay more for an external storage

Network restricted/Phone not allowed MM#6

Take proof of purchase to your carrier store and get it taken off stolen phones list.

Where to purchase replacement housings?

Hey all,
I've been trying to figure out where to purchase replacement housings for the Verizon HTC One. I checked amazon and eBay and even though there's a bunch of them there it doesn't day if it's compatible with the Verizon version. Even the sellers don't know.
Anyone know where I can get them?

Just checked the site out, I found the part but it doesn't specify what carrier it can be used for or even if it's a universal fit.

I am sure they are all the same.

Yeah, one would think but I'm not willing to take a $40 gamble on it. I used to do repairs on phones and like the iPhone 4 for example you have to get the specific part if it's for GSM or cdma

Well duh, the CDMA iPhone 4 doesn't have a SIM card slot.

Even for the 4S you still have to get the specific model. In any case, I would still like to know.
