It puts it into fastboot mode when it's bricked.

I might be interested in one, too.
I'd buy at that price point.

I don't have my Fire yet and plan to root it before I get the update, but for that price I would definitely get one just for later insurance.

So this would need to be used with a male to male USB A cable if I'm understanding you correctly?
I'm curious...
Very kind of you to offer to do this for people.
On a related note, I am curious as to what this guy is doing over in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405052
TL;DR is that he's opening the Kindle Fire and shorting out one of the pins on the circuitboard. Risky to be sure but what I am curious about is if this is doing the same thing as as a factory cable would? Thoughts?

Right, its the easiest and cheapest option. Just a female standard A (the flat one) to a micro male. Just plug it into any standard USB cable

Yeah, thats what is sounds like he is doing. All a factory cable does is supply 5V to the 5th normally unused pin and he is just doing that by shorting to that pin on the board.

I've recently found that my micro usb cable comes out really easily and stops the phone being charged if it's at all knocked. As it is it only appears to go in about half way. Anyone else had this problem?
I would seriously talk to your doctor about that. It doesn't sound good.

Try a different micro usb cable (a good quality one as some. Cheapo ones can be a loose fit) , with any luck its the cable thats knackered not your phone.

lol.. At least somebody understood what I was getting at.
My big bulky phone with the big bulky extended battery dropped to the floor as I got up from my chair, not realising that the usb cord had decided to entangle me. Next thing I know, my precious hd2 is lying on the floor, screen faced down, and the usb cord "ripped".
Everything seemed to be working fine, but when I tried plugging it into my dock, it wouldn't charge, so I tried holding it at angles - it worked, but whenever i let go, it would stop charging.
Does anyone know how to fix this without having to take the whole thing apart?
Sorry friend but you will have to take the phone apart to fix this problem. Might even have to replacecthe mainbosrd as the USB port is attachedcto the mainboard and can not be replaced seperately.

I was really hoping not to hear that .... but ty for the reply, I'm just going to go to the side and sob for a bit because I can't afford to get mobo replaced, I can't afford much right nw.
As a temporary solution you could buy a wall charger and an extra battery off ebay for a couple of bucks, changing and charging batteries on the go works for me!

ty, but I'm worried that it'll get worse in the long term (long being anything over a couple of days), ie. completely stop working, and data transfer? I'd have to use wireless adb to do transferring.
Is it still under warranty? You might get lucky

I looked at the warranty terms and conditions, and it says that anything that has to do with the usb port area will not be considered as being part of the warranty, and I don't have the receipt because I got it 2nd hand. :'(
it could be fixed, but the port must be resoldered to the motherboard. In case some circuit tracks were broken in the incident, they will have to be remade, a good service center could handle it.
Most of them aren't too fond of using real electronic measurements and algorithms in order to track corresponding usb port pins to various points on the motherboard but it's not impossible. If my hd2 would have been damaged in this way i won't hesitate to crack it open and get my hands dirty
If I wanted to, how much do you think I'd be able to sell it for? Thinking of selling it, and mybe getting a used tmous, if I can afford it.
I've managed to find some tmous on sale, so, what do you guys reckon I could sell mine for?
When I broke my first LEO512 by thinking I could repair it, I took the individual components (Case, chassis, motherboard) out and sold them on ebay. I got about £119 in total for it all
You could always sell it for full price and let the buyer find out themselves what's wrong with it.

I'm just too scared that I'll mess it up and just make it even worse, thinking of selling it, getting what I can for it, and getting another second hand.
I have this problem my micro usb port has completely broke, and the circuit lines on the mother board are screwed up, HTC will not touch it
gone the route of a wall charger for now came with another battery for £8 delivered so im happy i can still use my phone, while looking on Evilbay for a new hd2

Finally had the courage to open it, and as you said, the connections are more or less broken off, and I've got shaky hands (without nerves) and can't handle soldering it, so I'm thinking of patching it up with some blue tack

hi T-macgnolia ....(dont take this as an argument... just curious ) i just saw a replacement micro usb port for hd2 on ebay.... so is that usb port on ebay just to fool us or can it actually be replaced
Ok, short story - nt gnna work, does anyone have the bottom part of the motherboard up for sale?
Just got even better, looks like the lcd's broken now
The kids f-ed up the charging port on the Fire I let them have since I got my N7. If anyone has a mother board that works I'll gladly pay a fair value for it. Post here or hit me up on pm. Thanks.

Any site that sells a KF Motherboard is out of stock. And I need mine. When my usb port got messed up, I sent it in for a new one. Maybe you could get a new one...
You could also try to find a bricked Kindle Fire and use it's motherboard.
Click to expand...

Most bricked Kindles will be failed flashes of the "no more bootloader" variety, meaning problem is inside the mobo and you need some serious SMT soldering mojo to bring it back to life. That's why everyone seems to be stocking every single goddamn part EXCEPT the motherboard.
Speaking of soldering, that's probably the route you'll have to take. IIRC the microUSB port is SMT with some nice big leads, if you've done through-hole and have a steady hand you'll have no problem swapping a whole new one on there, or just soldering wires to the board.

Yeah my soldering skills aren't the greatest, I drink ALOT lol, so my hands aren't that steady but I'll give it a shot.

So I hope I don't jinx it by saying so but as of right now it is charging like it should. Either my soldering skills have improved or I got lucky. New rule in the house... I'm the only one to plug and unplug the charger from now on and absolutely no one plays with it while its charging.
When my charging port got messed up, i just flashed the stock rom back and shiped it to amazon. They gladly replaced it.but im guessing your fire is not in warrenty

Where did you purchase replacement usb port, part number etc. I have one failing now, exact same cause.
I'm planning on building a docking station, and I find it kind of sad that you can't connect an OTG cable and recharge the N7 at the same time, and so I'm curious if it's at all possible to recharge via the 3 "copper" points on the side.
I'm guessing that you can since Google/ASUS are releasing a N7 specific docking station to listen to music, and I would presume recharge at the same time.
Anyone know anything?
I didn't really know what to search for, looked for 3 point blah dee blah, but no results. If this has been talked about, sorry, and a link to that discussion would be appreciated!
Thank you!
No idea if this helps, but this blah dee blah are called "pogo pins" i think.

Official or not, it's not possible to charge via the pogo pins (or the micro USB port) and use USB OTG at the same time.

Never said you could.
Simply posted the link since he said he was looking to recharge thru the pins and I'm sure they would at least include that. Would be easier to just pick one up than to fabricate, whenever it does come out.
Cheers for the help guys, and thanks for the giving me the correct vocabulary regarding the pins.
This look like the best factory cable out there. I resisted buying a cheap one on amazon for 2.44. I payed 13.00 for this factory cable. He said he uses the best super glue out there. My questions is that is this a Good portable factory cable and can with stand some drops in a case.
Sorry, but wrong forum.

KindleFireGuy,
Skorpon is one of us, so you are supporting a friend! Yes, the Factory USB Cable is VERY
Strong. We use them out in the field with our business. We really abuse the cables and
have NEVER had a problem. On the other hand, the Chinese cable from Amazon is pure
garbage. I had a customer buy one, it took 4 weeks to arrive (Shipped from Hong Kong)
and did not work! He had to send it back before they would give him a new one, he
waited another 2 months and did not ever get the new one. Do you need help with
the restore or did you get it just in case? How do you plan to use the cable? By the
way it is borderline to place this question in this forum. When you have a question about
restoring the Kindle, place it here in the General Forum.
Though i was in q&a sorry
