not working for some reasons while flashing the phone using ODIN. This solution will solved your problem.
Requirement:
- Soldering iron and small soldering wire
- Little soldering skills
- micro USB cable
- a 300K ohm and 1K ohm = 301K ohm Resistors (A 300K ohm will work also)
- a cutter or knife
Here's the block diagram to make a homemade Download Mode Jig dongle.
OR you may use 3 resister of 100k ohm and 1 resister of 1k ohm in series
Procedures:
All you need is to solder the pin 4 (ID) and pin 5 (Ground) pins of the micro USB plug.
All you need is to solder the pin 4 (ID) and pin 5 (Ground) pins of the micro USB plug.
Just
cut out the sleeves of the USB plug, then attached and solder the 300K
resistor across to pin 4 and 5. Just as like this finished product
below:
How to use on Samsung Galaxy S while using ODIN.
1. Pull out the battery for about 2-5 minutes, then inplace it back again. Do not turn it ON yet.2. Connect the jig you just made. Avoid touching the resistor and pins on the back or just put a a non inductive cover around it, an electrical tape works. The device will just turn into download mode in just a couple of seconds without pressing any buttons.
3. Once the Samsung Galaxy S displays the Downloading,
disconnect the homemade jig USB plug and connect a regular USB cable
from your PC to the phone, then you can flash the device using Odin.
