[GUIDE] USB jig - resetting the download counter - DM Protocol Version 2.0

Since USB jig doesn't work exactly the same way on our SGR compared to SGS II, I recommend an alternative solution.
How to make jig work?
1) Entering the Download mode:
pull the battery out -> plug jig -> insert the battery
or
turn off device -> plug jig -> press power button
2) Resetting the download counter:
Enter DM using one of those two methods above. Once you're there just remove jig, plug usb-cable and install your stock kernel (just to reset the counter) or firmware (in case you want to reset the counter and unroot simultaneously). Right after installation process is started you should see the green text: Success to erasing the record of custom OS! (You can see it on attached picture.)
Remember:
1) This method works only on DM Protocol Version 2.0, for those of you that have v. 2.1 USB jig won't work at all. In your case procedure is more complex, please visit this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528256
2)You don't have to flash the whole fw-package to reset the counter. It's ok with just stock kernel (only the .tar file though and remember that replacing the kernel WON'T UNROOT your device. To unroot and clear the counter you should reinstall your stock firmware!)
I attached some stock kernels. Please don't ask me to add more. First of all I don't have them and second... you can easily get your own by replacing boot.img from one of the tar-packages below with the original one from your preferred firmware. (USE Total Commander, don't extract packages, simply open them with [ENTER] and copy file from one package to another (F5))

I am trying the second method (insert jig and press power botton), not working. After flashing custom ROM (kernel), it simply reboots as expected (should I disable reboot option in ODIN?).
Would appreciate if someone suggests how to do it right.

Excuse me, but can you write step by step what you did. You cannot enter Download Mode? Or you entered DM and flashed FW but it didn't reset your counter?
Make sure that USB-debugging is checked.
1)enter DM with USB jig
2)remove jig
3)plug usb cable and flash STOCK firmware
It has always worked for me that way.
(Maybe I misunderstood you but...why should you disable auto-reboot option in Odin. Flashing custom kernels increases counter and it has nothing to do with the method I posted above. IT's actually totally opposite. This method is only useful if you just want to erase flashing record, but it won't let you have insecure kernel and 0 on counter.)

I put USB jig in, pressed power button, phone went to download mode.
Tried uploading custom kernel, it wasn't doing the trick. However as you suggested, installing stock ROM worked! But thats quite weird as in SGS2 it works just by inserting the jig.

I agree it's weird

Hello.
I don't want to be off topic but, I would like to ask you when you flashed 2.3.6 from 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 , did your download counter increase?

Of course not it never increases when you flash stock firmware. Only if you flash custom software (with the exception of custom recovery like cwm) via Odin e.g. insecure kernels, custom roms etc.
Sent from my GT-I9103 using XDA App

hey kochan could you shed the goodie on where you get the stock 2.3.4 rom? i tried legion's stock KK5 without getting the magic green words on my screen after the the install kicked start... *frustrated*

I'm flashed 2.3.6 and this tutorial works just fine.

I did the same two days ago with 2.3.6, and everything worked as it was supposed to again. So you must check the jig.

okay.. i got a new jig from the guy, USB debugging checked, tried both methods with ZSKK5 on PDA flashed without luck... argh this is pissing me off what have I done wrong!!!
s4sixty, kochan, did you both flash the stock rom off a custom rom to clear the counter? i have tried dozens time from stock to stock. the only thing i suspect that went wrong was when i enter download mode after jigged, i m always coming from stock-to-stock flash. would that be the case?
guess i m luck out. i m trying different cable to see whether things get better... argh

Tell me: how many custom flashings do you actually have on the counter? What's the number?

i got three bro... would that be the case that i m flash-jigging from a stock to stock rom that's why i m luck out? i m trying different cable.

Ok, number is actually out of relevance (if it's different than 0). Maybe it has something to do with the cable. I thought that flashing FW rewrites bootloader (because it's inside the .tar package). So it shouldn't have major significance here since u used both 2.3.4 and 2.3.6.
You know the only thing that has to be done to succeed is to boot into Download Mode with the help of USB jig (NOT WITH 3buttons combination), then remove jig (DO NOT RESTART) and plug in usb cable directly, then just chose your firmware and press start in Odin. (I always close Kies and all processes related to it before I started any operation in Odin) It has always worked on my device. I have no idea why it doesn't work for you.

It doesn't matter dude when custom roms are installed via CWM and not Odin. I have almost always reflashed from stock to stock. But maybe...I'm not sure but it doesn't harm to start....try to flash stock again, then flash custom kernel, and then turn off mobile, insert usb jig, press and hold power button, u should boot directly into DM, then remove jig -> plug usb cable and ref lash directly. If this doesn't work, then try to find somebody with galaxy R and try the methods i posted on other handset just to make sure if it's hw-related.

yea im totally beat from jigging my SGR these couple days. ah well i guess it is time to fall to the dark side and tune the phone to a no-beater! thanks for the coaching kochan

I've tested with 2.3.5 and works perfectly.
Best regards,

Hi m.kochan10, can I know more about using the USB jig?
As you mentioned, after booting up using the jig, I need to unplug it and then plugin my USB cable to flash stock ROM thru Odin3. By means of stock ROM, you mean only the factoryfs.img? or the whole things including boot.img, cache.img, factoryfs.img, hidden.img, modem.bin & recovery.img?
Thanks a lot

Ardatdat I'm sorry but in order to reset the counter I have always flashed the whole tar-package that included all those parts you mentioned.
Though...it's worth to test since counter gets erased immediately after installation process is started, so perhaps it can be concluded that...the first part that is being installed is responsible for resetting the number of custom flashings.
I'll try to test it today.
EDIT: IT's boot.img that makes a difference So Ardatdat...take your old .tar file and simply replace your kernel with the stock one, run Odin3 and voila No need to flash the whole FW!

I am thinking of getting an USB Jig and keeping it, just in case (rather than ordering one when needed and waiting for it, till I get it ).
I went through the FAQ's for USB Jigs in this forum. I got an SGR, and from that FAQ what USB Jig is shouldnt be specific for SGS II or SGR. Can you please confirm this before I get one as there were only couple of sellers with I9103 mentioned and most of them had mentioned I9100 specifically.
Thanks.

USB Jig is the same for every samsung device! Just the way it works, differs. On SGS it boots into download mode, removes the triangle and resets the counter right after you inserted it to your phone. On SGR it does each of those things above but not equally automatically. It works and it works effectively, but we have to insert jig, press power button and fe. reflash the stock kernel to get the same effect. No need to worry.
PS. It's so cheap so don't hesitate to buy it!

I have use this method and custom kernel = 0.
Nice work! But instruction is now enough full. It took about 3 hours of time to make sure that the phone worked.

Could you tell what you did in a step by step manner, so that even the others facing the problem can use this method to solve it.

Mini step-by-step instruction:
0) Download and unpack archive to directory like c:\repair
1) Entering APX mode. Turn off phone. Hold Volume Up + Home buttons 10-15 second and plugin phone in usb port.
Install drivers from folder drivers in archive. After installing the device driver is defined as NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices. It is mean that phone in APX mode.
You may try this method to enter APX mode: remove battery and unplug phone from PC. Hold Volumel Up + Home and plug phone to PC. Phone must be in APX mode now. Put buttery in phone.
2) Before do something do do nandroid backup. Copy it to PC.
Backup /efs to safe your IMEI.
3) Enter to APX mode, install driver and start GT-I9103.bat. If you have some errors - try again without rebooting phone. Or unplug-plug USB and try again.
Phone reboot in download mode.
4) Use Odin to flash ogiginal samsung ROM. I used сhinese ZCLA1 2.3.6. You must use PIT file to repartition file system of phone. p5.pit is on archive. If you try flash without PIT process will be fault.
5) When flashing finished load phone in recovery mode. Wipe /cache and try wipe /data.
Load android and format internal memory. Reboor in recovery mode again. Wipe all.
6) Now you have 100% work phone with custom counter equal zero, without yellow triangle and etc.
Take root and restore /efs to restore IMEI.
Take CWM, custom kernel and everything what you need.
Enjoy!
PS I have about 2-3 hours to sure phone work normal. If you know in advance - can be done in 15-20 minutes.
Google translate of my instuction( russian to english):
Training
0. Set unpack, better to go somewhere in the root directory, so in a way no spaces or other characters. But this is only a recommendation based on a small knowledge of Windows, I have a normal flash and the folder e: \ - = Samsung Galaxy R = - \ - = Dead Repair = - \
APX Mode
1.1 The largest shamanism - to be APX Mode. More or less reliable way, which I was able to do it - with the phone off hold down Volume Up + Home and plug the cord into the USB port. This method is reliable if the phone is alive.
If your phone firmware is broken (and it will be so if, immediately after the flash nvflash is not a normal firmware) - will have to catch this moment, because phone might try to get recovery (as it too may not be).
If you can not do it you can do: take out the battery, hold down Volume Up + Home and insert the cord into the computer. Once the phone is switched to battery mode APX return to the place, because flashing at a certain moment the phone off the USB port (just a guess, but without the flash batteries did not work).
1.2 After that, the phone went into the mode of APX, he determined on the computer as a device driver without APX. The driver is included. No problems with installation on Win 7 Pro SP1 x64 I do not have arisen. After installing the device driver is defined as NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices. If you do so - then everything is fine.
2.1 What is necessary to have to start:
Actually set to restore the phone. He is quite self-sufficient.
Any firmware. I sewed the latest version of the Chinese I9103ZCLA1 2.3.6 firmware
Of course, Odin, the phone cord, and so you need to flash.
Be sure to make backup / efs. After nvflash IMEI, I folded to form 000004999900001 (well something like that, do not remember exactly).
If the actions are performed to reset the custom kernels - can be done at the beginning of nand backup. Yes, in general nand backup is needed in any case. Theoretically, such a scheme is possible: backup - nvflash - odin - cwm - restore. We get the phone in the same form but with zeroing counter. I am due to its krivorukost could not verify. In order not to repeat my mistakes - make a copy after the backup on your computer. It was quite unpleasant to lose all the settings over the last month (but then I blame myself, accidentally formatted the card).
2.2 Connecting the phone to APX to a PC, run GT-I9103.bat. If everything went without a problem - the script is complete without error and the phone goes into download mode. If there was a mistake - you can try again to flash.
For example when I have an error like in the image - just twitched and started the lace zanogo bat. I think if the phone was left in the mode of APX. My heart skipped a beat, but the second attempt the phone flashed fine.
Firmware
We sew a 3.1 firmware odin. Most importantly - do not forget to specify the file pit. It is a complete recovery. Bit to bit the same as there, that this firmware.
Without nutrition ask you not to succeed, because file system is a mess of half-dead sections. Sewed only some parts of the firmware. Once downloaded, the phone displays a picture of a bunch of Korean characters and English phrases like "Software update failure".
3.2 After the firmware partition / data, as I understand it, is not formed. I would suggest the following algorithm:
We go in and format the built-in recovery / cache.
Ship, and through him the android usb-format the drive. I then have to format it, just in case a recovery.
I do not know what will be if you try to install the firmware as soon as CWM, try to format all of them, and make recovery backup. I just have no backup at hand (accidentally formatted the same section of CWM / emmc and it was an external card, where to store my backups).
03.03 Well, after much room for activities. CWM and restore from backup or set up from scratch - you decide.
Conclusions:
When the curve could theoretically restore the firmware. Maybe even a bit boot-loader. I got the impression that the APX - a mode of the chip, not software. If iron is not dead - should help. In general, an hour and a half I have had the phone without a flash, probably the same at the time will resize partition to pull the cord and battery.
Resets the counter custom kernels, lost the yellow triangle. In general, if you flash the original firmware - can be easily dragged into service.
The method is not the easiest, there are many pitfalls, such as in the beginning, I forgot about the PIT, could not understand why the work is already in the phone memory is not working correctly, etc.
On the other hand, this method is not much harder than flashing the phone or through the odin cwm. Just add a few points.
Phone neubivaemy. Like my last samsung i780 (where I really made a mistake and did not start flashing in the sequence. And vykovyrivanie three parts of the firmware exe file - also had a very high risk). So much suffering in the firmware, but it is still alive. In general, I would say that acting on the instructions (or at least about following it) phone can not be killed. I love samsung for it.

Now many people in this forum should be able to get their Galaxy R back to life from the dead thanks to you!
Just one suggestion brother, keep on monitoring this thread if any person has any doubts or is facing any problem while trying to solve using your instructions, you could help them better.
I am going to directly link this post in the FAQ section.

Ок. I will monitor this theme when it possible

One suggestion: Volume Up + Home doesn't bring any effect. To enter APX mode I had to press Volume Up + Home + Power button. Interesting that this is the way to reach recovery on some Galaxy handsets.

Volume Up + Home + Power button - it is also work. I wrote Hold Volume Up + Home buttons 10-15 second and plugin phone in usb port. I thing this way is more reliable

Hi,tried the above method for I9103 but when i proceed the steps it shows the download mode initialzed and the window shuts up and the fone remain dead,no response on fone. Installed drivers for APX and Iam using XP Sp3.

What window shuts up? bat script? If you mean bat - then that normal. If you want see result of it work use cmd.exe to run script.
Turn on phone in download mode( vl_up + home + power or vl_up + home and plug phone in usb) and try flash any firmware via onid (don't remember use pit file from firmware or from repair folder).

After restoration, at me runs not into a downloading mode, and in mode NVFLASH Recovery Mode

Just to report, there is no APX mode on my SGR
Wait is it just black screen?
Yesss it is

how is that possible?

Any chance to create this for P7500 / P7510?

Guys, sorry for OT.

Unbricking methods & Download mode/Odin tips

I've soft bricked a few Sammys and one of the resurrection methods I had a lot of success with, Odin the full stock ROM in PDA and stock pit file in PIT It saved me on a few occasions, that and my usb dongle jig to get me back to download mode. Do we have a stock pit for for the S3 ? And has anyone used a usb dongle jig on it yet?
Here are some tidbits you may find usefull when using Odin:
With great power comes even greater responsibility. If you check the wrong box, load the wrong file, get a power blip, pull out early, stick it in the wrong port....sorry lost focus on the last one........you can and will most likely bork your phone.* I am not responcable for anything you do to your
If you are not able to Boot into download or recovery ie Softbrick
Open Odin*Remove the battery
Connect the phone to your computer without inserting battery (use the cable that came with the phone and use the USB ports in the back of the computer, front ports for some reason can give you trouble) laptops can also give you trouble so use a desktop PC
Hold Vol Down + Home +Power on then while holding insert the battery (its takes a little dexterity and big hands)
If that doesnt help you can try the same procedure with different key combinations
If none of them work then you can try a USB jig (dongle)*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YRPW...feature=fvwrel*Do some searching there are quite a few places selling them, and they're relatively cheap.

I had the exact same issue last night. I had a mini-heart attack when it happened. I rooted my phone, installed k-ex, and the CM10 JB rom. Then because I wasn't satisfied, I tried to add system apps from the stock rom (the file explorer, keyboard, and a couple other things). I set the permissions correctly and moved them to the correct folder, but for whatever reason, when I restarted my phone, it was stuck in a bootloop; the little android with 3d figure inside him (i think it's the root installer thing); it'd load like 20% and restart phone. I then went to Odin mode and flashed the Original Stock rom, thought I was safe, and got stuck in another loop, now with the Verizon Boot Screen. Somehow I managed to get into recovery mode by holding volume up + power + home buttons and I decided to clear and delete anything and everything I could from there. It magically fixed my phone and now it's in factory condition.
i'm going to try redoing everything tonight, since i'll have more time.

Bricked or is there something I can try?

Hi guys,
Sorry, I guess I have f*cked up my moms tab 2 (model GT-P5110)
I guess it's hard bricked, because it doesn't power up, but I'm not 100% sure maybe you guys can help me out or provide me with some tools which I can try to get life back into it.
- I can't access recovery mode via the normal way
- I can't access download mode via the normal way
There is a battery sign, but it's not rotating or anything else, just there... (kept it already 24hr in wall charger but without effect)
On the other hand if I try to connect it with USB to laptop, then it's saying " USB device not recognized" (and this " error" is coming every 5 seconds)
(sorry can't post pictures, because I'm a new user to this forum)
Hope you guys can help me.

I haven't tried a new cable, because I don't have one, but to be honest I don't think that could be the solution, because if I put it inside my laptop to gives some sign of life "USB device not recognized".
I can't post pictures or link parts..., but the ring inside the batterij doesn't rotate. It's just there sometimes and frozen.
Looking forward to your response or any other responses

I had the same error on my pc everytime i tried and the only way i get over it is by, proper drivers, trying different usb ports and changing my data cable.
And i have seen hard brick as well, it won't show anything, not even a unrecognized usb cable msg.
And there is not much you can do without a recovery or download mode. So the first thing that you can rule out is your cable is not at fault.

I used the original USB cable with an not origional USB adaptor or the USB directly into my laptop but neither worked.., but yesterday I collected the original USB adaptor at my parents house and put it in a wall charger over night. I pressed the buttoms to access download mode and suddenly it works this morning ..... really really strange, so I guess that this is the problem.
Mom told me: Yes, sometimes there is a red cross inside the battery, but it will charge if you wait or try to unplug and plug it a couple of times.
My guess what happened:
- (sunday) Tab was very low battery with flashing around 10%
- (sunday) Stopped with flashing at 5%, because it was too late
- (monday morning) did nothing, battery empty and charging failed over the day.
- So I guess during the flash the battery broke down completely....
I directly switched on my laptop after I could acces download mode and downloaded stock rom. Unfortunately have to go to work and the download will take one hour , so hopefully it will stay in download mode the hole day, because I don't want to take the risk to turn it off

- I can't access recovery mode via the normal way
- I can't access download mode via the normal way
There is a battery sign, but it's not rotating or anything else, just there... (kept it already 24hr in wall charger but without effect)
On the other hand if I try to connect it with USB to laptop, then it's saying " USB device not recognized" (and this " error" is coming every 5 seconds)
(sorry can't post pictures, because I'm a new user to this forum)
Hope you guys can help me.
Thank you in advance

Like others already said: Get a Good USB Cable, and try other USB Ports when such thing Happens.
When Computer fails to Install the Device: Get Device Drivers (Kies).
A "Red Cross" at the Battery: Means your Charger does not have enough power to charge your device. Also Happens with USB on Computer.
When a Device Boots to Recovery, that ususlly means 97% of Times you can Fix it Totally or Partially. Depending on the " Damage " / "Mistskes" done previously.
Note: Mistakes happen to everyone,specially when learning or messing with Android Devices.
TIPs:
1) Before you proceed with any customization, always make backups (ROM Backup, EFS Backup and Personal Data).
2) Always Make Sure Whatever you Flash is for your Exact Device Model.
3) Have a Stock Rom and Recovery files close, just in case something goes bad.
Finally: Read a Lot, and Make questions when you dont Understand something, etc..
You will learn a lot, save lots of time and you will let yourself stay out of trouble.

Let us know if you experience " Duplicated Data " or other Errors.
Judging by the steps mentioned here I assume you are.
Hopefully your Device Runs Ok Now.

Hi Richard,
Thank you for your reply , I learned indeed.
Did a lot of flashing (around 20times before on my Galaxy S1 and Note 2) without a lot of trouble
This was the first time I tried to flash a custom rom on a Tablet, but failed
It's currently running on stock rom without issues.
Will Root and flash custom rom this evening again, but this time with full battery instead of <10%
Will update the post afterwards .

Greetings;
Ok.
Please proceed with caution now. xD
Before Flashing Remember to:
- Have a Backup of your Device Saved on Your SDCard (Made with CWM).
- Never Delete Battery Stats.
- Never Mess with Odin Checkboxes. Specially " EFS Clear"
If you do so you may end up in Losing your Imei, Wifi and Bluetooth Mac Adress and make then unavailable or not working. Consider yourself warned. As most people wont tell you this small tremendous problem.
- Try to get someminfo about the Custom Rom you're about to Install. Specially if it will change your partitions.
It is good to know that in case you need to revert the process. If it chamges your partitions, then reverting to stock may require you to select "Re-Partition" under Odin. Yet please double check with the Rom author.
1) Go Recovery, Erase Cache, and Dalvik (If you Have Dalvik Option under Advanced Tab under ClockWorkMod Recovety)
2) Proceed to your Flashing Method.
3) Install CF-Root / Kernel (If Custom Rom Doesnt Include It)
If your Device Goes into Bootloops or Kernel Panic after Flashing:
Take your Battery out, Press Power Button to Discharge the Memory Components, Place your Battery Back.
You're Most Likely Good to Go.
After putting the Battery Back I prefer to:
Boot into Recovery, Clean Cache and Dalvik. Then perform a Factory Reset (Yes Factory Reset Also Cleans Cache - But I find this method effective to prevent further errors).
After this I think you're good to go.
Although I wouldnt go for Custom Roms. There's just no need.. =)
If your goal is Performance, Battery Duration and Storage Space you don't need Custom Roms.
If your goal is having something different, (usually Buggy) and low Battery Duration... Well go for Custom!
Sounds Crazy, but thats the way it is.. Good Luck

Hi,
You can't remove a battery out of a tab2.
In your opinion there is no benefit to flash a custom rom, because they are worse than stock?

You can. Try searching YouTube for:
"Removing Samsung Galaxy Tab Battery"
Custom ROMs are good:
- To have Nice visual themes;
- To simplify some operations like (Deodexing and Removing Bloatware, Install Custom Kernel, Add or Remove Funtions)
- To have a upgraded Firmware. (when brand wont release more updated Stock ROMs)
- Maybe some more (but I dont recall everything at this moment).
But on the other hand, expect:
- Bugs;
- Maybe Device Brick or Component Damage;
- Lots of time fixing your device.
- Sometimes Device may not work properly;
- For sure: Less Battery Duration;
Everything will depend on what's the purpose for your device.

Hi,
Rooting and flashing a custom ROM worked perfectly, without having issues.
Now running CyanogenMod 12.1 Android 5.1.1

Hello Angerfistt;
Glad to know.
Tip: Install Greenify and Set it up properly.
You will see some improvement in your battery duration.

Used samsung, please help ! bootloop and more...

Okay so i bought this s8 + for 200e and the guy that sold it to me told me that the phone had some software and usb problems.
So naturally i connected it to my pc right away few times and every time it was success. So im guessing usb is working but there was one weird thing i never saw in my life and it is a thermometer at the boot screen i wanted to take a photo of it but now its eitger in download mode or in a bootloop so I can't turn it off....
Um i tried flashing few softwares and no luck and for now some reason i can see the last thing he did before his phone supposedly froze before becoming this thing xD
Here are some pics. Sbould i take it somewhere to clean the usb or reconnect the battery or idk. Please help bois.

FRP locked or boot corrupted
Try this
Download latest stock and unzip it to get all the files.
Repartition, and flash.
Use all files including pit file
Cross fingers as it may boot to be fine the charge the phone and leave it for 2hours then reboot n use

Looks like you're using an older bootloader download the latest firmware then retry.

Breakdown to see if I'm right:
#1: You flashed a u1 and failed
#2: You flashed a u2 and failed
#3: The phone is saying it's a 4 but file is a 2
You need to flash a u4 Rom (BLv4), your trying to flash older firmware which is like trying to downgrade and it's not letting you, why the fail.
Like said above flash the newest version CRI5 it looks like. Try that and then post results
