[Q] change wireless baseband - XPERIA X10 General

Hello everyone, a few months I have a problem serious enough on my X10i, in short, virtually broke the base of USB so I can not connect the cell to pc cable to charge the battery I solved by buying a Charger table then apart from the inconvenience of turning off the cell and charge the battery separately and then with cell off, then I have this resolved, to exchange data from PC to memory card I bought a USB adapter for the memory card and I can safely transfer of everything, but I am unable to change baseband logically as far as I know you need the cable connected to the PC.
Here I basically explained my problem, now I ask you if you know (and if there is) a way to change baseband in some other way, because I intension to try the custom kernel.
I currently have 2.1.54 and the baseband so I can not make changes to the kernel as for now are still at 2.0.52
Thank you in advance!

[HW] usb and wifi broken

Hello,
I don't know if there is still some people here but I expose my problem.
As I have a Desire HD for more than a year, I wanted to give my magic to my sister but I also wanted to flash a new rom because the old CM did her time on this phone.
The problem is that the wifi and the usb are broken as I can't even charge the battery simply by plugging the usb cable. And with no electricity, there will be no file transfer.
Also, il work on a computer with no sdcard slot.
So there are 2 possibilities :
- I download everything with 3G (this should work with apps, but not for a rom)
- Repair the usb chip on the cellphone, and if possible the wi-fi too.
The second is my favorite, but is anyone know where to start this manipulation ?
(I have some skills in electronic and soldering).
Thanks for future replies

Galaxy S4 Modifications (GT I9505) UK model

Hello guys and girls, im wondering if there is anyone in the know of what i want to try and attempt. Firstly, i have an old Galaxy S4 i9505, it was my old contract mobile which was put in a draw and forgot about as the LCD smashed and i upgraded anyway. I recently went out and purchased an Amazon firestick for the sole use of KODI, and it works fine (i would like to auto boot straight to KODI or even do away with the amazon operating system all together but ill save that for a future post). My questions are..
1. I have currently got the S4 with the smashed screen rooted, on a custom Rom, (OMEGA v21.1) usb debugging enabled and with a nifty program called Vysor i can connect it to my laptop and browse through the phone and add/remove install what i like. I obviously need usb debugging enabled to see the phone through my laptop but cant see how i could install another rom without seeing the custom recovery on my pc (as it only lets me see and use the phone when its fully booted up) Id like to use this phone purely as a media device linked to my TV with an MHL v2.0 adapter (which i have and works fine with an exception).
So first question, is there anyway of installing a Tablet type rom onto this phone without seeing the recovery menu (doing it blind is out of the question as the touch is also broke) but the rom i install (preferably with gaaps with it) as i need no function of a mobile whatsoever, only wifi and bluetooth i guess, but id need it to have usb debugging automatically enabled or enabled in the rom i flash as id have no way to access the phone because of the screen. any help on this would be a great help.
Now onto my second question..
2. While MHL works fine and i can use KODI ok from my S4, there is a massive problem i need to overcome, the battery drains faster than the charge gives, my understanding is that while the S4 is connected to an MHL lead it will only draw 500ma of power as its recognised as an USB device. So my thoughts are: as a fully charged LI ION battery on the S4 is around 4.3 volts with amp drawing what the phone needs (actual phone rated at 3.8v so at a guess a supply of 3.3v-4.3v is perfectly fine, im wondering if a voltage drop device (from 5v to 3.8) soldered straight onto the battery pins on the phone would keep the phone going without any type of drain, as in it would power the phone inevetably while runnin kodi or whatever else i decide to run on it, ive scoured the net for info on my project but cant seem to get any info about it. i really appreciate any help whatsoever as im quite stuck at the moment. Thanks.

1. I still don't understand why you want to flash a different rom. What will be the difference? There is to much risk imo. You will need a rom with usb debugging enabled by default and rsa security set off. Why not just find a different launcher that will suite your needs? But if you still want then make sure you have TWRP on your phone and use something to control TWRP from the playstore.
2. You need to find a kernel that supports usb fast charge. That will boost your charging to around 1000ma.
help
First thanks for the reply Lennyz1988, the only reason I wanted another rom flashed was is im in no way going to be using it as a phone, so would rather have a rom that is very light and very light on battery (as in background proceses). As for a custom kernel would that have to be also flashed through recovery ? As I've not flashed custom kernels im not sure on how to go about it, will any custom kernel work ? Sorry for the questions but is there any chance you can point.me in the direction of 1 I'd need ? Thanks.

Lost fast charge and USB data transfer A7 (SM-A7100) - Hong Kong version

Hello. I'm from Mexico and bought SM-A7100 by Internet. Recently, I plugged an OTG USB cable on V8 phone connector. After this, phone lost fast charge and USB data transfer.
On official Samsung repair and service center in my country, technician told me probably sub PBA part (charge system) is damaged but this is not available here. Is it possible to get imported part for this phone model via Internet? Any suggestions? Is charge system expensive?

I really hope you found a solution. Ive been looking an answer for this annoying problem for 6 months!
Ive read almost 50 threads in differents forums about this problem but no solution at all.
- Tried changing charging port. Cost me a few dollars but no solution.
- Tried USB debugging on and off from developers menu.
- Did MTP+ADB option in *#*#0808#* menu.
- Turned Low Battery Dump "on" in *#*#0808#* menu.
- Tried 10 or more different original Samsung cables.
- Upgraded PC USB drivers.
None of them worked for me.
Hope you have made a progress.
Thank you for your response and for your best wishes. I have changed charge port too without success, but it appears the problem is related to logic board of the phone. Since it's a hardware issue, I left the search for a solution. If I get a favorable result, then I'll inform the procedure to you. Best regards.

USB Issue : charging over USB, Device not detecting by PC, OTG not working, slow char

Its been 2 yrs, i am facing this issue it started in rainy season
but last year it automatically got fixed (it was summer then) again started facing same issue (from rainy season):crying:
i tried (I am still using OG usb cable and Adapter so for god's sake don't tell me to use OG asus adapter and USB cable):
1. Flashing ROMs from RR(Nougat and MM) by tank, Borets ROM by Borets24 to Montana ROM
2. changed Micro USB port on my device.
3. reinstalled drivers on My PC.
4. visited Service Center (they are saying to change motherboard)

6. tried other usb cable and charger (from XIAOMI standard 10 Watt).
so tell me what i should do now ?
Usb not detected
Same same issue I have been also faced... All possible setup tried but failed to detect on pc, just charging. How to fix it? Thank you
I changed the USB socket...
Solved...
Changing port didn't helped me
fisrt sorry for my bad english
i faced this issue yesterday when i change my battery to my mom cel (both zf5) because her cel battery is dead. anyway when i connect on pc nothing happens so i remember to look flat cable(or SIM cable) to move. i read long time ago that if you drop your phone maybe the cable move a little little bit and its enough to won't be reconized anymore by pc and maybe cause erros on SIM1. i open again and reconnect the cable on motherboard and southboard and it works again. check it or search for it or how you do it. i hope it helps. good lucky
Same issue otg and usb cable not working only charging.
Replace sim tray assembley
Hi, hope this will solve your problem.
I'm facing the same problem with my zenfone 5. and alredy replace second mother board in my phone(micro usb assambley) and the problem still exsisted.
I found a solution in a zentalk forum where there are many people face the same problem as ours, the phone refuse tu connect to mtp,ptp or any usb debugging wheater its abd fastboot or even usb on-the-go.
the solution was replacing the sim tray assambley, where the ribbon connect motherboard 1(main) to motheboard 2(micro usb assmbley).
It have worked for me, the only regret that I have was, I have buchered the new sim sim tray slots during replacemen(those thing are super fragile) but now my phone can conect to pc and recodnise usb OTG.
it may not worked for your phone but it worth a try of you are willing to spend some money to buy the sim tray assmbley.
here I will include a picture of my replaced parts. Parts makked with number 2 need replacement.
be very careful when replacing the sim tray they are super fragile.
creddit to zentalk user for pointing this problem.
sorry for my rubbish english.

μ-USB Port Not Transferring Data

Hello All,
The micro USB port of my phone is a Motorola G4 Play (Harpia) has stopped working for a long time — no data transfer of any sort, no OTG, no ADB, no File-Transfer, nothing; only charging works. I thought it was the port to PCB soldering, so I re-soldered it. Didn't work. I changed the Charging PCB ("Charging Connector Flex Cable"), twice. Neither worked. Now, my LCD is broken, so it is unusable beyond being a wireless hotspot or for receiving calls. I'm in a dilemma whether I should replace it (₹1000+ for spares) or give up & move to a 2G Basic Phone.
Can anyone help me figure out why the USB data transfer is not happening in my device? I'd really love to repair it.
Thank You.
Note: It is not a driver issue as I use Linux & lsusb doesn't show the device. It is not a ROM issue either since the same happens in TWRP and across the ROMs I've flashed.
