ReplyDeleteYou mentioned that the JIG won't work to reset the flash counter. Does this also mean that if I brick my S3, I won't be able to unbrick it via the USB JIG method?
ReplyDelete(My friend has the S2 and I'm getting the S3 so I'm planning on buying a USB JIG for the both of us.)
Yes jig doesn't work on s3 for resetting it... when u put jig it will go to factory mode. But don't worry about unbricking it there must be other ways around
