Who Wants A Usb Jig For Download Mode?

I don't know if you've all seen them, or even heard of them... but you can force your SG3 into download mode using what's called a USB jig. basically, it's a micro USB plug with a resistor wired in that forces the phone into download mode in case of soft bricks.

this will not help you with a hard brick, i.e. the bootloader is messed up. only a board replacement or someone with a JTAG setup can help you with that.

let me know if you're interested.

so you know, this isn't a quick hack job. I am IPC-A610 and J-Standard solder certified, and I have a $400 Metcal rework station at home.

I thought you could still manually put your phone into dl mode with a soft brick?

there can be instances where the 3 button combo is disabled.

Well I'd be interested in one. How much?

I was kind of gaining interest first. What I was going to do is if you donated to the forum, $5 or more, I'll send it to you for free via USPS Priority.
