How to Make USB Jig for Samsung Galaxy S4, S3, S2 Phones

In this guide check out how to make USB jig for Samsung Galaxy S4, S3, S2, Galaxy S phones.

If you have a Samsung Galaxy phone which you have hard bricked, or if ODIN download counter is what you want to reset, so that no can root your phone, or simply removal of i9100 splash screen is what you want, a simple USB jig will do the trick.

USB jig: a simple circuit that lets you to completely reset the download mode and in case any particular thing goes wrong with your Samsung phones; it can get into it to work. It can act like reset witch on a Samsung smart phone that has been hard bricked, because this will save your phone as it enters the download mode.

This can either be purchased on any website or you can make it yourself and save yourself the cost as it is nothing but a circuit that has 300K Ohms of resistor, in the micro USB cable between pin 4 and pin 5.

Things you need: a micro USB cable, 300K resistors, or 3 100K resistors in series

How to make your own USB jig:

• First of all take a micro USB cable, and cut the connector off the cable and leave the cable alone.
• You have to get the metal bones so you will have to take out the plastic, with a knife or a scissor. Try and get the plastic off till you can have complete access to all the five pins.
• Every micro USB cable is different. But it wouldn’t really be difficult to locate the pins that you need to use. Identify pin 4 and pin 5 because you have to connect a resistor in between these two pins. On the right of pin 4 you will find pin 5.
• Now you will need to take the resistors. You will need to solder the wires around the two pins. The pins are very small so you have to be very careful while placing the wires in between the pins.
• Pin 5 and pin 4 should have been completely soldered by the wires.
• Now take the 300K Ohms resistor or the 100K Ohms resistor in series and solder them too.
• Now all you need to do is take the resistor and solder them onto the wires that you have connected to your pins. And if and when it is done successfully, your USB jig is ready.

All this process is hardly going to take ten to twenty minutes and if at all it takes longer, you need not worry. Because many a time’s people take a lot of time in soldering the wires onto the pins and then the resistors onto the wires, so it’s no big deal. The longevity of the wire or the USB jig depends on the way you use it. It is handmade so might be a little weak but can last really long if you can use it carefully. And you can always make a new one if the old one breaks because making it is as simple as mentioned above. In case you want to make it a little better you can always use a little bit of hot glues over the crude wire ends so that it will have a good texture. You can also put it in a case and keep it.

• Turn the phone off and insert the new USB jig that you have made.
• And like after 3 seconds the phone will most probably boot itself up to the mode of download, the count would be reset and it would read ‘erasing download information succeeded’. Reboot the phone and see the i9100 splash screen has gone too.
