Samsung Captivate Download Mode

Bricked your Samsung Captivate or Galaxy S phone? I did... Good thing someone discovered that you can apparently force these into download mode with a little poking in the USB port even when the usual keys don't work.



The magic number appears to be 300K or 301K connected to pins 4 & 5. I used 3x100K resistors salvaged from an old PCI card.




With the phone off, just insert the USB contraption and it automagically goes into download mode. Now, just reflash the right firmware... Phone saved!
