| Step 1. Cut the micro USB connector off your micro USB cable. |

| Step 2. Start taking off the plastic on the side with heavy-duty scissors or knife until you get to the metal bones. |

| Just cut it all the way until you can access all FIVE pins. |

| Although every microUSB connector is different, mine had all the pin soldered except for pin 4 (which is shown by the arrow below), this is the pin that’s unused, so it was easy for me to identify. You need to connect a resistor in between this pin 4 and pin 5. Pin 5 is located to the right of pin 4. |

| Below is what the pins look like for microUSB: Step 3. You will need resistors, I am using 100K Ohm resistors I bought at Radio Shack. |

| Step 4. Since the pins are so darn small, it’s going to be rather hard to solder the resistors right onto it. So I got 2 insulated wire pieces and solder them onto the pin 4 and pin 5. |

| Step 5. Below shows my wires soldered securely onto pin 4 and pin 5. |

| Step 6. Since I don’t have a 300K Ohm resistor, I am simply going to put three 100K Ohm resistors in series and solder them, this is actually pretty fun to do. |

| Step 7. Last step is simply soldering the resistor piece onto the wires and voila, USB Jig is done. It took me about 15 minutes at most and I haven’t soldered for around 3 years so not too bad so long as it works. You can make it nicer by putting some hot glue over it then putting it in a case but I like having bare circuits, I can always make new ones if I break it. |

| Step 8. Below shows my ODIN download count over 400+ on my Epic 4G Touch Galaxy S2. This is before using the USB Jig. |

| Step 9. I turn the phone off then insert my new USB Jig, hoping that I did it right the first time. |

| Step 10. After about 3 seconds, my Epic 4G Touch Galaxy S2 boots up by itself to download mode, my “custom binary download” count reset to zero and says “erasing download information succeeded”. Congrats! |

| Step 11. I reboot the phone and find the i9100 boot splash gone! |
