JTAG Flash WITHOUT expensive box - GSM-Forum

sliverT · 03-07-2013, 10:46

So yeah, I bricked my Samsung Galaxy Ace with the wrong kernel through Clock Work Recovery, chose reboot option, screen turned black.

I have tried all the button combos, with inserting battery method and all of that, I even bought a USB Jig but to no avail. The furthest I've come to entering Download Mode(button combinations, to then flash with Odin) is that the computer is detecting the samsung galaxy ace as a modem(If I do not press the button combinations the computer detects nothing at all) and I cannot establish connection with the phone with Odin nor adb shell.

I have searched these forums a few hours a week the last two weeks and the only possible option seems to be JTAG unbrick. I have no money to get me a 100$ jtag-box just to resurrect this phone, so my question is this:

Is there any other way that Is cheap and not too advanced for a tech newbie like myself to unbrick the phone? I have no problem with soldering, but my question is, is there any other module(or would a simple jtag cable work?) to access the phones internal workings?

Or maybe there is another way to save this phone? Please post if you have experiance with JTAG without the boxes!

only jtag way, only dedicated devices can unbrick it.
Go into a service shop and a skilled technician will repair your phone.
Or buy "expensive" box (for your info 100$ is not at all expensive)

Why would that be true?

Look at this: [JTAG] Gene JTAG 100% WORKING BY GURU SINGH BRAR - xda-developers

And oh, It's not expensive. So you'll buy one for me then?

Anyone else got something actually good?

I fail to see why to "buy" one for you.

Just use THAT solution if you want it.

Oh, this is good tips. What does the repair.dll do? And what does the producer mean? I have found the jtag pinouts!
