I bought a USB jig to repair my Galaxy S3 but unfortunately it didn't work. I was wondering whether plugging that jig into my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 ruin the tablet? I just wanna know whether the jig is working or not. Thanks.
all it should do is put it in download mode unless i am mistaken and that doesnt hurt anything.
It should either put the tablet in download mode or do nothing. But can you try it to see if it works? It could help some people who want to buy them
It won't hurt your tablet. But if you could test it out let me know lol. I'd like to buy one to have for this tablet as a last resort if anything were to happen.
Ok so I put the jig on my tab and nothing happened. It is a $1 jig so I think the chinese seller duped me or there might be some other explanation. But anyways, nothing happened.

Did you turn the tablet off? If it doesnt work on an older device like the gs3 then maybe its fake

Unfortunately, I also have to confirm that my checked and correct JIG 301 kilos does not work with my SM-T705 (Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4). However, my T705 goes into download mode if I use the emulator program JIG 301 kilos. So I think that Samsung has somewhat changed the resistance value for the JIG for this tablet.
Sorry for the late reply, yes I did turn it off before plugging in the jig. Whatever the reason may be, it doesn't work.

i just bought the tmobile galaxy s 2 and was trying to root it. obviously i did something wrong and now its stuck on a black screen. it will not power on AT ALL and when i plug it into the usb it looks for driver QHSYSB_DLOAD. ive tried everything someone please help. i will pay someone to fix my phone if i have to
You need to get in download mode and odin back to stock. Pull battery and put back in. Go to different computer, win XP works best, download/install drivers on PC then plug phone in to PC and download mode should come up.

Also you may have to hold both volume buttons down. It works both ways with and without volume buttons. Search threads how to get in download mode.

It's bricked. I had the same thing happen a few days ago. Just take it back to the T-mobile you bought it from (assuming you bought in-store) and they'll replace it. Seeing your phone recognized as that "QHSYSB_DLOAD" device seems to be an issue with Qualcomm CPUs and happens mainly to HTC phones for obvious reasons. From the hours of research that I did before returning my phone, no one has ever successfully recovered from that kind of brick.
i bought it used so tmobile wont replace it. BUT i registered the phone on samsungs website and it says its still in warranty with them. do you think samsung could replace it?
Yeah I'd do that. They should be able to help you out as long as you don't say you were trying to root it lol. Yours won't vibrate or anything when you press the power button right?
nope it doesnt vibrate. what do you think of this?

Yup, mine wouldn't vibrate either. The only sign of life was when it was plugged into the PC in an attempt to get into download mode. I read that when you get to the point where the phone can't even get into download mode properly(showing the usual warning about custom OSes, that the jig device won't work, unfortunately. It may be worth a shot though if the price is right.
just shipped out to samsung. hopefully they dont realize why its broken and try to charge me for it
was flashing the update through Odin things went horribly awry . Left me with a phone which will not power on, will not go into download mode when holding the vol +/- buttons and connecting USB and appears in Win 7 Device Manager as a qhusb_download device which Windows does not have drivers for.
Any salvaging this? a replacement is on its way to me but I'd rather not be without the phone for the next week while I wait for it.
Thanks
You'll probably need a USB jig to get into download mode now.

Jigs work with the SGSII? Okay, I'll build one tomorrow (no resistors at home and no where to go get a package tonight)
My phone was in this exact same position two days ago (see my thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387752). I tried a USB jig but it didn't work. Unfortunately there's no way to fix it at this point, they have to re-flash it at the factory. I didn't have handset protection with T-Mobile so I bought another one this morning.
I'd also like to confirm that the jig does not work on this model. I had bricked 2 phones in two days and tried two home-made jigs and one purchased from eBay. Ended up taking back to T-Mobile store as they were both under the 14 day grace period.
The jig works...if you don't believe me search away. Obviously it doesn't work if your T989 is beyond repair.

Yes, the jig does work, but it's unnecessary at best. The jig works only if your phone can still be flashed in Odin (meaning, your download mode works). If your download mode works, you don't need the jig in the first place.
Its useless compared to how it works on say, the Captivate S. It will put the Captivate in download mode regardless of how bricked it gets, whereas it won't in ours. Hopefully that makes sense.
Well said ghetto. Makes perfect sense.

I was trying to repartition it with Odin and the latest ROM and used a .pit file that I thought was for the phone. The process started and never progressed. I finally decided to powercycle the phone and hope for the best but ended up with a brick.

So, what you didn't say is that if the phone won't go into Download mode when both the volume buttons are held down and the USB cable is connected then the Jig doesn't cause that to happen.
If that's the case there's really no point in me destroying a miniUSB cable... sigh...
**UPDATE** I closed Oden and killed all processes related to Kies. Then with my phone still in download mode, I quickly unplugged and plugged the cord into the PC's USB port. Odin was able to communicate with the phone and flash the firmware successfully. Hopefully this info will be useful to some other soul and save their butt.
I think I may have bricked my phone also. I was flashing the latest firmware also, it almost completed and then Odin said it failed. Now the device is still in download mode, Odin can't seem to establish a connection, and I'm afraid to pull the USB cable out or power-cycle the phone. Anyone have any ideas? This really sux

That would be correct. If you can't get it into download mode normally (volume up+down plug in usb cord) then a jig will do nothing for you

Glad to hear you saved it! As long as the phone is in download mode, you can still unplug the cord, plug it back in, and Odin will flash the Nand.

well i believe the majority of us were experience people who knew how to flash and etc. what probally screwed us over was T-Mobile/AT&T call our phones Samsung Galaxy s2. In europe they also have a phone with the same name. From there we search up Samsung Galaxy S2. and get lead to the I9000 (Europe) rather than the Tmobile (SGH-T989) or AT&T (Skyrocket) all labeled as Samsung Galaxy s2. so we put the wrong kernals and roms in. end result: expensive paperweight.

I wish I had known this before I turned mine off. Now it appears to be thoroughly bricked.
I accidentally flashed an international ROM onto my Sprint Galaxy S3, didn't realize it, rebooted from recovery. Now it doesn't do anything. If I pull the battery and plug directly to USB, I get an amber light and that's it. Currently I don't have a jig and can't afford to get it flashed at a shop until next friday.
My main question is whether this is something that I could fix with a jig, or something that I would need to take to the local shop? I don't know of any other fixes, but I'm no expert on bricked phones either.

Didn't even have insurance, but they simply swapped it out in the store right then and there. Much quicker and cheaper than i thought

I read some where usb jigs do NOT work with the Galaxy S3 like it did with the Epic Touch.Samsung change it somehow. I don't remember where I read it though. I have a jig and when I plug it in while the phone is off its supposed to automatically take you into download mode and it doesn't.

Let me guess. International rom, and pc sees it as QHSUSB_DLOAD? sound right? Jig Is totally worthless. It's a paperweight. Jtag is ur only hope.

Can you even power on your phone? How long have you had your phone? If you are within the 14 day period and you can't power on the phone, I'd recommend that you take it back to the sprint store and get them to replace it. If you can't power it on, then they most likely won't be able to either. If you're not within the 14 days then they'll be able to ship you a new phone under the 1 year warranty. I made the mistake of accidentally flashing a kernel for my ET4G on my S3. I couldn't power my phone on. Took it in to them, they couldn't power it on either and was able to get a replacement on the spot, no questions asked. I told them that I was I was in the middle of an update when the phone restarted and then I couldn't power it back on.
Only other thing you can to is ship it out and have someone JTAG the device for you. MobileTechVideos.com has been mentioned in other threads as a JTAG service.
Hope this helps.
Hey there. I saw this site for DIY USB Jig and using it to boot into Download mode. I was wondering if anybody has had a change to do this?
http://rootgalaxys3iii.com/diy-usb-jig-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-to-boot-into-download-mode/
I'm not hard-bricked and really don't need it, but there's been a lot of questions from people about how to recover from a hard-brick. Before I turn around and say, "HEY, TRY THIS!", I want to make sure it works. I turn to the Masters for the answer.
Thanks.
This is the first that I am seeing that a jig will work with this phone (even though that article is from Oct 2012). I knew they worked for 1st gen Galaxy S devices but everything that I have read was that it would not work for the SGS3. Be nice to see if someone can confirm this too.
Also, the jig is used for a "Soft-Brick" (has power but can't get into Recovery or Download mode) and a JTAG is for a "Hard-Brick" (No power and/or maybe a red light and some wording like QHSUSB_DLOAD on the screen).
