USB jig? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I had the sprint Galaxy s2 and my USB jig saved me from a brick once when I couldn't get to download mode the normal way, I was wondering if I need to make a new one for the s4 or if the old one will work if I ever need it to or if it will even be necessary at all.

Yes, the old USB jig will work. I still have one from my GS2 and it works great! saved me a bunch of time and money!

The standard USB JIG which has been around for years now is perfectly compatible with all the variants of the Galaxy S4.
I have a jig myself and it's working just perfectly with all the android phones I have now and all the others I had in the past.
Go to eBay and you can buy one there for under $5.00 bucks which includes shipping.
Good luck!

I have been wondering where to get one of these. Always reading about people talking about needing them to fix bricks. Never had a need for one, but just ordered one to be on the safe side if I ever do. Thanks.:good:

Its pretty good ... I bought it because at my job I flash phones .. so sometimes my customers phone (the volume buttons etc) don't work ... so its good to have it around. ...

Hey I saw in the noob thread any carrier Rom that you have in the att forums that you have a jtag box. What's the defence between a jtag box and a usb jig?

Got mine the other day, tested it out just to make sure it worked. Takes me right into download mode, so I now have an extra safety net incase I soft brick my phone.
Read up on jtag boxes as well. Might get one of those in case of worst case scenario. Anyone know if a good cheap one that doesn't require soldering? Haven't soldered in years.

This thread was moved to Accessories, as that's what a jig is. As for whether or not this jig will work, it should, they're simple items, but I don't much care for this kind of stuff on Ebay, I bought mine from MobileTechVideos.com
It should work, here is one for a little cheaper if you don't need it right away:

search usb jig on ebay buy any its not phone specific any jig works with epic touch 4g... i would post a link but i just gave you the information u needed
I bought one from dealextreme dot com for $1.60 shipped. I would post a link, but my post count is too low. Search for USB jig on the site. The D710 is not listed as a supported device, but it does work. The only downside is that it took about two weeks for delivery.

I tried looking on eBay for a USA seller but gave up. I found a site in the usa, but its more expensive and I can't vouch for them. Usbjig.com
I'm guessing you'd get it quicker than if it were shipped from the other side of the world.
I just ordered one from here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/29063037698...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1955wt_1140
Should be here within a few days. History said 79 sold and he is at 100% feedback so I'd recommend you buy away
I bought one off amazon. went that route so i could get next day shipping.

Same. Husker, did you already try to bring it back to Sprint after using the Jig? If so, how did it go?
I'm a little apprehensive about it.
Here is the link for the one I got. http://usbjig.com/ Its a little more pricey at $5.50, but I would recommend. Really fast shipping like 2-3 days, works well, have used it a few times. No complaints here
I bought one for amazon for $5.50 I believe. It's from a seller in South Carolina so I hope it'll come soon. Make sure you buy it from a US seller though because most are from Hong Kong and they take weeks to come
I just ordered one of these....looks pretty legit. We'll see.....
Thanks for the suggestion.

haha thanks everyone and no they didnt offend me at all cause im not a noob but im also not a developer, i just cant get my phone into download mode because of the usb port malfunction i actually didnt know it was bad at the the time only because it still charged and what not but i traded an HD2 for it and was done messing with it, i wanted something new and its going to be new to me also installing this usb port haha so wish me luck i also bought one of those usb jigs off ebay to hopefully get me into download mode, everytime i use my cable it goes straight into stock recovery if it wasnt for that i would be flashing away! ive tried everything getting it into DL mode, also ive tried getting it warrantied but tmboile says ive had too many exchanges ha so im SOL on that one, i had the g2x before the hd2 and suppovsevly according to them its my fault they kept sending me POS phones esp since the g2x has been EOLed i mean cmon. they knew that phone had nothing but problems why still send it to people

No problem, also welcome to the community. Hope you are able to fix that usb.
One last thing though, now don't quote me on this, but I remember reading that using the usb cord from a g2x or I think any lg phone would get you into download mode. Not exactly sure how it worked, but I think you turned off the phone, connected the usb to the phone, then to the computer. And then power on the phone and it would take you to dl mode. Not 100% sure but you might want to look into that

To the OP, best of luck and let us know how it goes. There are DIY tutorials a well for usb port repairs.
And as for buying used phones, we must be careful. But otherwise, I say go for it. My SGS2 was purchased used via Craigslist and it's been running great with zero problems. I suggest everyone considering a used purchase visit the xda forum associated with the phone and see what kinds of problems/defects have been common with the phone so you will know what things to look for when you make the buy.

I just got mine back today, works great and JB miui installed flawless. They were quick too. But only do it if your device isn't being recognized in device manager. And make sure you have all the proper USB/ADB drivers installed... Anyways just search "mobiletechvideos" on Google. They have a ridiculous amount of positive feedback.

Thanks, I wasn't sure about mobiletechvideos, the search I did here returned posts that seemed to be getting old. The replies are much appreciated.
Mobiletechvideos only wants $30 for JTAG service on a G1, hopefully they will combine shipping. It's $160 for a digitizer replacement on an HD2. There's another shop that will do it for $50 for parts and labor. Any thoughts on that or would that be better asked in the HD2 section?

I wound up using the guy from eBay, LV Repairs in Henderson, Nevada. It cost me $40 plus shipping it to him. He flashed the stock TMO ROM back on the phone and was back to me within a week.
I have several phones that need to be repaired and I am very satisfied with this guys work so far. If you are interested click the link below or just search for SGS2 JTAG.

Hardbricked T999(L)

So long story short, I broke my Samsung Galaxy SIII T999 about a month ago and sent it in to be replaced through my insurance. I thought they had sent me another T999 but instead, they sent me the newer T999L model. I was unaware of this until I managed to hardbrick my new phone by trying to install a firmware for the T999 Model. Lesson learned, 'nuff said.
Now, to my REAL problem.... I've managed to contact a local guy who repairs hardbricked phones via Riff Box/Jtagging. But because this phone is such a new model, there isn't currently an "official" resurrection file out for the T999L. I got in contact with a guy on ebay who repairs phones and he stated that he had created his own resurrection file for the particular model. Buuuuuut he didn't want to share or sell it
Does anyone have access to a T999L resurrection file? I'm a little skeptical of sending my phone to be repaired, just because I've heard stories of phones not being returned and etc. Would my only other option be to perhaps swap out the motherboard on the phone?
Unfortunately, there isn't one. Motodefier and I have been working on creating one, but its not quite ready yet. Almost, but not quite. Ill try to get back to looking at it tonight.
For actual, official firmware, youd have to wait for an update from sammy &T-Mobile.
Our thread is in the development section if you want to take a look.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
Ahhhh, thats what I figured. Well thanks for the clarification I really appreciate it. Good luck on finishing that resurrection file :good:
If you do end up sending it in for repair, check out mobiletechvideos.com
I'd steer clear of the guy who supposedly has it, but won't share it. Sounds shady to me. (He may just be waiting for us to finish it!)
As for mobiletechvideos.com, lots of people have given positive reviews in this forum and I've never seen a negative one.
I've seen one other mentioned here that was just as good but cheaper, but can't remember more than that. Maybe someone else remembers.
Sorry I haven't got ours working btw. Ill be able to get back on it again tonight. I'm not the only one working on it though. So keep an eye on our thread.

Can you get into the recovery menu? And do you have usb debugging enabled? If so we should be able to reverse the dumps we took of the partitions to get you back up, but I would only want to use this as a last resort, as we are very close to having this odin flashable finished.

Its going to be hard to create an unbrickable mod, which I think is probably what you will need, qualcomm simplified thier pinout configuration for the MSM8960 board to keep us from getting into thier pbl but I know it can be done, we will just have to work on it, I will see what we might be able to come up with software wise for a oneclick unbrick for the T999L. Might be hard without having a bricked device to test it on, I will see if I can find one for sale on ebay or something. Its just a matter of time before it happens regaurdless of who gets it done. No promises but we will work on it. You might check this thread and see if you can get some support to adapt it to the T999L http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023069

Yes you could swap the T999L main board, but the T999 mainboard is different, it may work but I doubt it, your ribbon cables probably won't match up.

We are currently working on it, I think we're getting close, but not quite there yet. I believe DocHoliday77 has finished the md5's you can use in cwm or twrp but you should double check with him, as we are going through so much info, its a little hard to keep up with everything.

Is there any solution for this? I think I got in exact same situation, got a replacement phone and figured out they sent me SGH-T999L version only after I flashed

If you can get it into download mode, this is the full stock untouched odin flashable package http://sourceforge.net/projects/d2ltetmo/files/latest/download

Your only hope outside of a warranty claim or jtag service would be to buy a jig on ebay, and see if that will do it, I had my samsung vibrant do the same back in the day, and the jig saved me, its worth a shot they are usually only 2-5 bucks, beats buying a new phone.

Yeah, thats what I thought and ordered one already. Is recovery process easy as they say in description? They say just plug it in and after 2 sec download logo would appear?
that jtag thing is a micro usb piece probably with some kind of program written in it, why can't developers send those commands through regular usb cable so the phone thinks its jtag?

If the jig works for you, yes it is as easy as they say you will get the download mode logo very quickly after plugging the jig into your phone. If it doesn't work the first time, try borrowing someone else's battery because your battery could possibly be dead, it shouldn't be, but that happened to my Vibrant and I thought it was hardbricked, until I tried another battery, also sometimes the cheaper jigs won't work if your battery isn't fully charged, the one I bought didn't work the second time I used it, battery was around 70-80% I replaced the resistors with some I bought at fry's and it works every time, probably something to do with the quality of resistors being used. If they show a jtag as just a micro usb then its labeled wrong, jtag is usually performed with a riff box, both software and hardware are required to perform a jtag service, and it usually involves getting access to certain contact points on the motherboard, send me the link to what they are calling a jtag I would like to look at it, but most likely it's just a jig, Jtags are pretty expensive because of the type of software they require.

Yeah, youre right, it's jig http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Jig-Don...Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item51acb6eae7
Do you think it will work?
Another option I saw on ebay you can send your phone to somebody and they fix it for 25-50$ + shipping.
