My plug broke, the little plastic piece that separates the pins finally gave out and not knowing I plugged in my USB cable and bent the pins. Now my phone doesnt work. It boots up but beyond getting to the Today screen is un-usable.
Can I open it up and just replace the port? (any tips on where to buy the part, I have the tools already Im sure and am willing to solder really really really small connectors. )
Or am I stuck buying a new phone?
Thanks in advance.
yes you are in luck, i am currently developing a program that will do exactly that and much more, just give me a few decades

Lets not act like this is an impossible task. Im just curious if anyone's done it? Or is everyone in the development and hacking forum are software focused.

Hey bud..
Sorry to hear that issue , as a Sprint Store & Repair Tech Mgr I would leave it to a tech to get workin on it.. If you want to you can sauder it and try to fix the pins but you run he risk of uniting circuitry when you put back together..which will completely kill your phone.. Suggestion: Repair Center or Insurance.. last option uprgade or purchase a new phone..
this is definitly and absolutly the wrong thread man. you are asking a hardware question of a specific phone on a software developers side ?!
so please accept the rules, because some people here have enought of junior posts like this. Read thread one ! although i wouln'd event post it there.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!
Can you ball park the cost of such a repair? I dont mind paying, but if its close to the same cost of picking up a used phone on ebay (~200-250) I'd rather just get a new phone.
Thanks!

That is the part you are looking for right? The little USB female portion of the phone?
It's kinda expensive and risky, good luck with your repair, I hope this helps!

That is the part indeed, and you've just answered my lingering question! lol it would be cheaper for me to get a used one off ebay. If that part costs 50 bucks and a service tech would take at least 1 hour to fix it I'd be looking at a little less than just buying another. I appreciate all the help with this.

Wiki for Gene is available at:

Added:
Registry tweaks to automatically disconnect GPRS connection after a specific amount of time.
It was available since i first visited this forum Many people dont actually go to wiki pages and prefer to get confused by reading here and there. I am glad you did opposite of the what masses do. And added to it too
Hey should i also make my tutorial a page in wiki?

I think it will be a great idea, actually thats what I was intending, most experienced users first try the wiki page. Actually I was pretty surprised not to find it in the Gene page. Hope you don't mind checking the Vox wiki page, it will give you some idea how to go about it. I know you can do it .
Ya, will give it a shot tonight. Hey, did you tried that battery icon dll that a guy posted in the Stickey thread? Its great! Show you percentage of battery discharged in the intervals of 1% on the top of battery bar. I am thinking about including it in next version of ROM

For minor problem you can bring your device to your friend Rakesh thats me,

@rakesh4utoo
yaa yaa sure
but if i want to replace the screen then only they can do that naa
2350 mAH battery

bcos as most of the senior members saying that wizards battery is supported by gene
wizard also supports 2350 and 2850 mah battery costing 1000 bucks approx

hmm but forum look ugly if some more sticky added. also some sticky thread are not useful after some time. eg. if somebody remember my XIP porting thread which ppl stick long time ago but current new kitchen don't need xip porting so I removed if myself.
also currently two kitchen thread has sticky if we combine both, also there r three diffrent sticky thread only for upgrading and know how to HSPL phone if we combine all it's good for new ppl + forum look clean.
Yupe I agree, even Da_g 6.5 thread use to be sticky.There are too much of unecessary sticky ,like how to create packages ,when one software(cab2oem2newKitchen) can do easily . May it is time when the thread starter request the moderator.or someone else request the moderator.

pls help me i need official rom for p 3400 new gene
Ok so i'm new to this whole Android thing and gotta give MEGA props to Origins81 and Amon_Ra who took time outta their days to help me when I was in panic mode (trust me things were thrown lol).Ok so Already bricked one Magic got my replacement (followed Origins81 and Amon_Ra's amazing step by steps) from rogers flashed the Myhero 1.1.1 rom and now i got one last question. How do you stop the phone from charging when connected to the computer. When i was with the htc diamond you could select not to charge when connected, but I just cant figure it out for this device...Doesnt the constant charging mess with the battery? I mean I got two coming in that I ordered from ebay but that aint the point..Again sorry if this has been asked or if it's real "Noob" of me..
There is no way to stop it that I know of and dont post threads with the topic, "SORRY IF IT'S NOOB/Or has been asked" because it gives away how noob you really are and doesnt actually help anyone answer your question. Imagine if every question had a topic like that.....

This is definetly not the right forum.
Really? Are you serious?
You can charge while the phone is of, this is not your problem.
Just charge if its dead and reflash whatever you were flashing in magldr/clockwork.
If there is no way to charge the battery in phone you could try to buy a dockingstation with the option to charge an additional battery.
Wrong forum

Charge the battery in one of your friends' HD2!
EDIT: Dont worry it will be noticed out there! I always posted there and always got answers!
I suggest you get a cheap hd2 charger, if its a tmous hd2, then get the extra battery this one comes with a battery in a charger device. or another way would to buy a dock/charger and charge it from there, sorry about your loss, I hope to be of assistance.

hey! The guy is right! HD2 won't charge when it's completely discharged if MAGLDR is installed on it!! I was very-very surprised with this thing. Try Install MAGLDR, turn your HD2 off and connect charger. It won't charge, it won't turn on, even when you disconnect your charger the light will lit until you remove battery.
Is it just me and the author or everyone?
The bootloader hint is useful, but what to do if HD2 is completely discharged and doesn't want to turn on?

I can understand why you posted here coz of coz most people simply check the development forum and never bother checking Q&A and the rest. I dont recall the last time i entered the General forum. You have gotten your answer so why bother fighting in the forum. You knew you would be flamed by posting here and you dont do yourself any favours by answering back the guys who want to barbeque your a$$. Dont cause a stink buddy. Just go charge your battery silently and eventually this thread will be moved or deleted. Touche!

As mentioned before, look for someone with a HD2 and charge your battery in his/hers, or buy a desktop charger.

If everything else fails I would remove the batt, reinsert the batt with charger on and press volume down and power key and flash a winmo rom. in other words I would start from scratch with winmo phone.......

Attach the data cable to your comp and device and see what happens. I also do know that when the battery is fully discharged it takes some minutes on the charger before the battery can build enough charge to boot. Or maybe try flashing a winmo rom from the bootloader? I would try that and if winmo is installed wait for battery to charge to 100% and then install Magdlr and android nand afresh. All the best......

Check for bent battery pins, try powering through an external AC to DC converter hooked up to batter terminals in the correct order if you can to confirm whether it's the battery or not. Additionally make sure your battery is well charged.
Very less likely that your phone is bricked/dead because of trying to install a modded market.
For sake of this forum, post in the correct section next time. They're made for a reason. Thread reported.

I think you use the MAGLDR way to install the rom,if it is ,congratuations,it can't charge the battery when the power off.So you have to utility-charger to charge your battery ,not the phone charger
To test if battery flat.......
If you have a spare USB cable (mini, micro, doesn't matter) chop small end off, bare red and black, hold red to + black to - on battery, plug USB into wall charger, hold for about 60-90 seconds,, should be enough charge to start the phone.
I had the same thing, it could be that you bent the battery pins, try to see if they are a bit up, they should be 100% horizontal if you put your phone on the screen, if they are pointing a bit up, try to bend them back down.
Hi panossd
You can try to let your phone connect to charger. If your batterie level is very low, it need time to be charged enouf to start the phone. After that, when it's enouf charged, if you use Magldr, your phone will start alone. Then press on power key to stop at Magldr menu. Stay like this some hours, the batterie will charge slowly.
Hope this help

Haha sorry for the continued off-topic but you seem to think that mods literally go through every thread reading every post, and once they see a post saying 'move this thread' they move it. If you see a thread in the wrong section, first report it, then answer their question if you can, and add somewhere in your post that the thread is in the wrong forum. If you have nothing to contribute, then just report it and move on. Oh and btw I see the irony in this post but meh, don't really care.
