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.

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

Go to there web site and start a claim... Just don't submit it.
I get the feeling that there are still more than enough ET4g's in the system.
Don't think there going to start handing out GS3's or Gnex's anytime soon....

They do. They are even giving out the ET4g to evo3d customers that file claims.
Indeed, but I'd expect to start seeing the S3 be substituted around the end of the year.
Actually, more likely the Galaxy Nexus.
I think its a luck of the draw type of thing. Ill try it myself tonight.

Thinking of making a claim on mine for a messed up power button. SIII here I come... lol I can only wish
I have the Sprint insurance. I dropped my phone and shattered the screen, and the phone won't even turn on now. If I take it in to a Sprint repair center (aka the Sprint store) will they replace it? The Sprint live chat people said they will but I have to call it in to some number or file the claim online. I recall before getting one replaced at the store with a hardware issue. Is this not the case anymore?
The insurance is outsourced, which is why you have to send it off. The issue you had before could probably be fixed in store, as this one can not. Check out the Sprint explanation. It clears a lot up

Hmmm, not sure then. But I do know that when I was with Sprint, and even the insurance I have now with Boost, that it's a third party entity that you pay a deductible to, send your phone off too for repair, and they either fix it or replace it if it's beyond repair.

Usually pretty reasonable. Boost told me about a week. Sucks being without your phone. If you do send it off, my advice, buy a cheap 10 dollar burner and some minutes. That's what I did.

I would wait for the S4 with a 1.9ghz quad core processor. Just my humble opinion.
I have never used the insurance but I was thinking you have to pay around $100 to get a damaged phone replaced. I could be entirely wrong about that.

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.

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.
