Huge homemade usb jig - Captivate General

Hey XDA!
So I made myself a usb jig from 3 100 k ohm wires (Noobs: 300 k ohms of resistance is what is required throw the captivate into download mode when adb and the three-button method fail) It worked beautifully and reliably until yesterday when I discovered it was GONE!!!! :-( I go to my towns radio shack and guess what...no 100 k ohm wires...nothing even close! So it is my pleasure to share the most retarded jig I have ever seen...1-220 k ohm wire and 8-10k ohm wires..can't believe it worked...wtf lol...just sharing yall take it easy.

They aren't wires...they're resistors.
Just sayin...
Great job on the jig though man, big props. it looks like a molecule

Lol, buy a legit microUSB jig man. Got one from skisky1 on eBay . Works super good, looks official, and never have to worry about if you're hitting the wrong pin or not.

No, that's a jig. A real jig.
What we call jigs are usb download mode jig, only used for one purpose: initiating download mode.
A real jig has a plethora of uses.

That's a pretty awesome rig with your arduino. Can't make out what your redboard is though...
I wonder how I can mess with my phone using the Raspberry Pi when it comes in...

That was an older pic from when I was researching UBM on the Captivate. Check out my current iteration in Reason number 1.
It has the most useful functions for the FSA chip.

[Q] Anyone interested in a homemade dock tutorial?

Hey guys. I am currently making my own Desktop dock w/ usb hub, sound input/output, and speakers. I kind of want to make a tutorial on this, but before I go through all that effort I want to know if anyone would be interested.
Thanks.

It's taken about 2 days so far. I would probably be done by now if it weren't final exam period. I already had the speaker system and cables and I've spent around $40 on other stuff like balsa wood, glue, sandpaper, and a few other things.

It's balsa wood which you can buy at almost any craft supply store.
I'm glad to see I've sparked some interest. Hopefully I will have some time in the next week or so to finish it. If not, my exams are over on the 21st so I will definitely be able to finish it a couple days afterwards.
Incredible!
Post more detail when you have time mate, thanks
Very interested. Looking great so far.

Haha I should have known what you meant. There are 2 different ones. The first image is of a USB hub that I took apart, and the second is the amplifier that came with those speakers (stole from a portable speaker). I will post more details later on when I have time so stay tuned!
How do you plan to finish the balsa wood?
Just thinking of doing something similar, but I have no idea how to make the balsa nice and shiny...

Probably the same but the fact that they charge in about 5 minutes makes them better than an extended battery in my opinion.... they're basically a never ending battery if you have your charger and energy source around every 8 hours or so, just go take a cigarette break and you'll have a full battery by the time your done lol I think this is the solution to quad+ core processors in smartphones....

You can use it to access music and photo though

From skimming it seams that we can't do it we would have to mail our phones out to the guy in that thread to do it for us?
thats right. But lets not turn this negative. So many people brick. And now there isba solution. Sure it sucks having to send it somewhere. But it is a solution. And if it was as simple as using odin or something. People would find a way to mess it up lol .
$50 beats a brick anyday. Sounds awesome. I have been rooting and roming for a while but have been a little bit more nervous with how expensive this phone is. This will make me a little more confident in flashing.

Oh I'm not complaining or turning things negative, just making sure I got the idea of the thread. I'm at work so I skimmed it real fast and didn't read all the pages. 600 for a new phone vs mailing a brick out is good.
It would have been easier to link to his specific site, or something rather than having to read through everything and find the correct link.

Well, it makes no sense, if the chip is fried, then why does it give the error code? The phone can't turn on or do anything when the chip is fried. As there is nothing to make the phone boot or even process, there is no power supply.

I was thinking about a kick stand sorta deal but that wasn't going to do it for me. Found some new pieces and came up with this. Its 100x better allows me to fully use my controller and doesn't require as much stuff constraining my controller.
Anyone else?

Games, its an easy way to play. Others sometimes use kickstands or just lay it down.
