Galaxy S / Galaxy S2 - Get into Download Mode using homemade JIG
I don't know if this is helpful to all or not, but it definitely saved my life and I don't think we should have this hidden in the few hundred pages of the SGS thread
i won't repeat wat's already stated on the xda forum, u can read more info on the jig here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551, I'll just add in a summary/some additional steps and info u'll need to get this done locally.
First, get a micro usb plug. get any cheap micro usb cable from either Sim Lim Square or websites like dealextreme (eg: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-to-micro-usb-charging-cable-60cm-length-48924). Try to get a cable with thinner insulation at the plug so that it's easier to cut
Then get a 300kohm and 1kohm resistors, wattage don't matter here. The easiest place to find them would be Sim Lim Tower, there are lotsa shops there, and each resistor only cost like 20c. Buy more in case u do some wrong soldering.
If u dunno how to read the resistance, ask the shopkeeper for help. Take note that it's 300Kohm, there were ppl in xda forum whom bought 300ohm resistors, and it doesn't work of cos
At the same time, get a soldering gun and some solder at Sim Lim Tower if you don't have it.
Go home, follow the Procedure on the xda site, and wala! ur jig is done!
In case u don't know which are the pins, here's the pix...
pin 4 and pin 5:
colour code on the resistors:
my jig is ugly and hard to keep but i can't hiam cos my dad did the soldering for me
if u're wondering if this jig is being sold, u can get it on ebay here: http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150543523349
