Tell me please usb jig work hard brick N900V

On a working SM-N900V plugging the USB jig in to the USB port with the phone off causes it to boot into Download mode. (I just tried it last night)
Except it is slightly different: at the top of the screen the first line says "Factory Mode" instead of "Odin Mode".
But I don't really know what other any other differences are. Note though that I said working SM-N900V, not hard-bricked. I seriously doubt that the USB jig is going to make your phone spring to life if you can't get into Download mode the usual way.
My guess is that your best bet is going to be finding someone who is on your same firmware release (OB6? OF1? ) and is rooted **but not unlocked** and get them to build a debrick image for you:
create debrick image
Someone with a bootable SM-N900V would then do this:
raw write of debrick image to *spare* SDcard
Because your phone is not booting, you are going to have to do the raw image write onto the "spare" microSD card in an equivalent way but with some other means. (I suggest you avoid using Windows.)
I would make one for you but my phone has never been on OF1.

Anybody on OF1 want to help this guy out? I think he wants a OF1 debrick image.
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=16384 count=11776 of=/sdcard/of1debrick.img
will produce a 184 MB image file "of1debrick.img" on your SD card (slack space before p1 and p1-p22). Or you could use @hsbadr 's recovery-flashable debrick generator.
I cant generate it myself, I'm currently on MJE firmware (and won't be rolling forward in the near future). I suppose it would be better if this came from a rooted OF1 phone with a locked bootloader, but the stock aboot.mbn image could be written into place with the right incantation of dd (seek=, conv=notrunc options). I can provide those instructions.
@hsbadr didn't put up debrick images for ob6 or of1 in his file share for his unbricking thread. That's certainly not a poke at hsbadr; I'm just describing why yet another person is in an utter panic due to lack of planning.
