you could always make one if you have an old cord lying around. i agree with big. it will be a good thing to have just in case. it definitely came in handy a couple times for me as well
$1.70 from China premade - shipped to you in 2-3 wks or make your own with 3x100Kohm and a hacked old micro usb adapter...
- your choice
What is a usb jig?
Puts you're phone in download mode.

If you like to flash your ROM it is a great idea. It makes it a snap to get into download mode and sure beats the normal way.

Way simpler than you would think it is to make one yourself
I don't leave home w/o mine
I bought two because they're so cheap, haven't had to use it yet but I'm sure I will eventually and it gives me a sense of security for if something does happen

Where did you get it?
You can buy them from ebay for so cheap and most of them are free shipping. I bought 5 of them. Just in case something happens to the others I have spares.

The cheapest usb jig you will find ANYWHERE.
Cheap enough I think. You can thank qkster for that link. Got one coming from Amazon tomorrow. Paid 6 bucks. And there are more than enough decent guides out there too. I simply wasn't a fan of hacking up one of the two cables that I had around. Good luck. Nice job thinking ahead, don't cut it to the last minute, like I did.

i've seen some that resets your counters
Its compatible with the Infuse kid trust me i have like 4 of them lol
as for the counter i doubt it but if youre worried about it
why flash
why worry about a jig??
its pretty simple logic
no pun intented
Funny thing about this, a buddy of mine and I made one of these last week to reset the counter on his Epic Touch, worked great so i kept it. Once I flashed the new cm9 build to my phone I decided to plug it in to see if it worked the same... and it just booted my phone.
Are there different pinout/resistance combos for different phones or did my phone just go weird on me (i wasn't concerned enough to shut back down the phone and try it again)
thanks

i've read some forum and post about DIY jig and pinout/resistance combos, and if you solder 4,5 pins you'll get sgs 1 to download mode , but if you want sgs 2 you will need 3,5 pins so i don't know... i guess the point is different pins are needed to get different device to work
i bought the cheap ebay jig and see how it goes. only a buck

in all seriousness, i think dani is right regarding phones.
international flagship phones is prob the best option if you're itching for a new phone to play w/.
sgs2?
if you're looking to flash stuff, getting a tablet that you can hack may not be a bad idea.

i found that the replacement for my Infuse is my Blackberry Torch. I still have my Infuse use it probably one day out of the week. I also got an iPhone, but that's to fit in with the trends. LOL.
I replaced my infuse with a Nokia E71 from Straight Talk as my main phone (I don't even know how it happened, I guess the 3 day battery life was enticing) But I know how you feel. Have you looked at the Samsung Captivate Glide? Not much better in terms of specs, but it at least has a hard keyboard for texting which is pretty cool.
I love my Xperia Play too (waits for flame war) But it's nothing really special. It's just good for NES and SNES roms really
i have been looking at the lumina 900 a lot lol not sure why never had a WP i think thats why i like it so much
The ST E71 SIM works Great in your Infuse

60% of the smart phone users dont need a smart phone, they dont even come close to its capabilities.. All they do is games, youtube, fb...lmfao, dont waste your money.. its all the same ..

My condolences
It is amazing how great this phone is.. still kickin..
Any idea where you may go from here? if you have an upgrade you have quite a few nice options at least.
same thing happened to me...but then I just bought another cappy
My suggestion is - backup and keep simple 9-dot lock.
Also I don't keep any financial info on the phone. NFC will fail.
I can't bring myself to ditch the Captivate just yet, though the new HTC One X looks pretty awesome. The windshield mount and desktop stand are one of the best I have ever used thats why I can't tear myself away just yet.
After rooting my Captivate and installing a new ROM (Slim ICS), it's like a new phone.
The One X does look cool, but I'm surprised there's no SD slot. Still, probably no issue for most people.
We'll see how soon the shiny wears off, but ICS on my Captivate is fast, functional and just really nice. So I can wait for a more optimal-for-me phone.
dropped my captivate a couple weeks ago... cracked the screeen...kinda want the nexus =p
Too bad
I don't dare to image it will happen to my cappy
That's terrible man :/....I've had my cappy for a while now and I have fallen back in love with it...first had it and I didn't like it then I got into rooting and stuff and then found how to flash roms and stuff and now I don't need an upgrade I love ittttt

Craigslist usually has them for about $100-150. Sometimes you can find one that's boot looped someone wants to sell, thinking its permanently borked.
Make sure you report it stolen with the phone company. They will mark the imei number as stolen.

That's horrible! You have all our hopes behind you. As said a couple posts up they can be found relatively cheap on Craigslist. Sometimes cheaper than $100 if you're really lucky or they looped it.

well, comes with one of two cases, a screen protector and original box. Not to mention its pre-rooted and any rom you want can be put on it so you don't have to go through the trouble of dealing with that.

Not to [insert verb here], but for me, a decent case + screen protector only set me back $8. Not to mention that rooting the phone takes a couple clicks, while installing a recovery and unlocking the bootloader can be done through apps.
Edit: In otherwords, like how people below say, simple accessories and root are not really selling points. However you may have better luck selling the device.

I've done a couple deals here in the marketplace and I can tell you the phine being rooted means nothing. Most people here have no problem doing it themselves. Also, the case and screen protector help, but not enough. There is hope though your best bet would be to sell yours and use that money to buy one. They still sell for 400 and I'd imagine you could pick one up for close to that... when they get released that is.

So outta nowhere my headset speakers fail to work. I can't hear anything in a call unless I'm on speaker phone. The keys on my keyboard won't light. And the notification led doesn't light up for text or when charging anymore. I was running newsense and switched to a different rom to see if that was the problem but it wasn't.

Do an RUU back to stock (don't do the OTA), if that doesn't work it is a hardware issue. All those problems at once? Sounds like it got wet, not saying it did, but you don't usually see that many problems pop at once without something major happening. Good luck.

So are you saying try unrooting an re rooting again? Just wanted to make sure that's what you're saying first. And no, its hasn't been near water and I have the ottetbox case on it.

I have had the same issue happen to me, for some reason the Shift is a great water magnate they apparently found some " Moisture" Build up in mine, when they came to open it up during a repair, I would keep $100.00 USD On the side just in-case you have to file an insurance claim with asurion.
Ive tried to, Unroot and back to stock, ive tried rerooting .Re-Romming and Flashing the device,
a Majority of the time issues like that are caused by the wiring in the device "Moisture" Build up and or just cause the shift wants to be a little bonkers .
But then again if your not around it, you may just luck out and get a hardware defect claim and keep 100 bucks in your pocket and two days later you get a Refurbished device ^____^ yay for you.:laugh:
I said it sounded like moisture lol:sly: Anyways, good luck... Shifts are dropping like flies round here.
Don't want to start new thread so. Will try posting this here. My shift's screen started going black whenever I open or close the keyboard. It happens whether I am in the OS, bootlader, or recovery, so idk if it is the ROM. Any ideas?

I've seen prboy post about this a ton of times but what he always suggests is to see if you hear sort of a crunching sound when you close/open the keyboard. If you do, its probably the flex cable and you can buy one and replace it yourself (if you want)
I believe you can also take it in to Sprint if its in fairly good condition and they will give you a new one no questions asked
You might wanna also take a look at the questions/posts HERE or HERE

There is a very good possibility that it could be the Flex Cable. But if you plan on taking it back to Sprint, RUU first. That way you kill two birds with one stone. You confirm the issue, and you prep it for going back to Sprint.
