Hi there I have a note 3 Sm-n9005 that was accidently charged with the cable from another device. I think the mainboard is gone. Its the international unlocked version and because of that I can't send it back to samsung.I was wondering if there was any other mobo I can use instead of the N9005(LTE version)? And if I can what would be required. By the way am outside of the US.
I have about 8 different USB chargers, from many different devices, including some chinese tablets, I use them all with Note 3, no problem, so either the charger was faulty, or wasn't designed for your voltage (like running 110 volt charger on 220V)? Anyhow, If the charger caused the problem I think you can replace just the USB port with tiny circuit board, since the damage should have been limited to that area. I'm not sure about MB, but they may have slightly different layouts and different radios, probably best bet would be to call shops selling those and ask, but again I would try to replace USB board first. Also MB won't come with USB port anyway and if damage was caused by charger, USB port is first in line to get damaged.
Thanks for your help pete. I didnt mention it but i got a friend to charge my battery for me in his phone, but its still not coming on. Thats what convinced me that its the motherboard.
Hi,
Yesterday I used my Note 4 charger on other phone, and I heard a "click" when I plugged it, now I think I damage it. I searched but didn't find how many pins the charger has.
So, I would appreciate if anyone can take a picture of the charger pins or tell me if mine is normal.
Thank you.
PS: Sorry about my english grammar.
yes this is why i use a Qi wireless charger for all my phones. i destroyed the microusb port on my last phone by plugging it in backwards after 5 years of usage. the click noise is the connector breaking.
there are 5 pins.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#mediaviewer/File:Types-usb_th1.svg
Connector is only rated for a few thousand plugs/unplugs which is why you should use a Qi wireless charger.
I made a test and it charged from 32% to 64% in 25 minutes with 4G on and sharing with 1 device. I guess it's normal. Am I wrong?

Thank you. I was thinking that black space between the pins exists only on mine.

There are 4 as you can clearly see in the pictures shown in this thread. Shall I take another one ?
You have one missing pin. Cable still working for charging but most likely wont work for data transfer and may not work for adaptive charging. Just replace cable with new one if you need data transfer.

Today, I saw a vehicle with missing seats !!!
It had ONE instead of FOUR or FIVE !
It was a bicycle.
But ALL vehicles have four or five or even more seats, so the bicycle must be defective !
If you wish to move from one place to another, you urgently need to swap that bicycle with something having four or five seats !!!
(Did I make my sarcasm clear ?)
Let's get serious, guys...
That "missing" pin is the so-called "ID" pin.
It's purpose is to tell if the connected devices is a host device or a peripheral device.
If pin 4 is connected with ground, it's a host device. If the connection is open (like with our charging cable), it's a peripheral device.
That's all magic.
And that's the reason why OTG cables add that pin 4 for defining a smartphone as a host device.
It has nothing (repeat: NOTHING) to do with a cable's qualification for transmitting data or not.
For all those not accepting being wrong (hello, z...) and thinking about opening a can of worms: Try a simple Google search for "USB pin assignment" - or take the easy way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Mini_and_Micro_connectors
And it's quite similar with many, many other connectors - like serial, SCART and the like. A lot of spare pins. Leaving out saves the manufacturer money by saving a wire in the cable; that's the main reason.
Nothing wrong with your cables.
I didnt spend time researching the subject and I use words "most likely". If I'm wrong then I apologize. Personaly I would spend $ 3 for replacement cable from monoprice just to take my mind of unneeded missing pin.

You didn't notice you took a photo of the wrong cable ? Our charger cable's plug doesn't have an oval cross section.
I repeat it just for you: That "missing" pin is just for identifying if a device is a HOST or PERIPHERAL device. If a device is not intented to be used as a host device, the cable does not need any means for signalling it's state. Have a look at the net, look it up at Wikipedia or any other source except one: You.
BTW i find it amazing the note 4 camera can capture a close up like that. lol.

It's amazing you didn't manage to take a phote which is not overexposed and clearly shows the pins.
As said: WRONG CABLE. So please stop trying to mislead people.
Here's a quite delicate offer for you: I'll show you in an uncut video that the plain normal charger cable with FOUR pins is perfectly suited for charging AND data connection. I'll show you the cable and it's plug with that "missing" pin, I'll then connect it with KIES on a PC without any cuts.
If I am right, you pay me 50 Euros. If I am wrong, I will pay you 100 Euros (about 115 US $). Fair enough ?
If I win, I'll donate that 50 Euros to XDA. If you win, you can simply keep my 100 Euros.
An offer you just cannot resist: All readers of this thread are waiting for your decision.
So take this challenge - or just close your big mouth forever.
This offer is serious: I WILL pay you 100 Euros if the standard charger cable with the "missing" pin does not work for data transmission. No strings attached.
[BIG grin]
To other readers who might wonder why I take such big steps: That person spreads wrong information in multipe XDA threads. Time to stop him flooding XDA with misleading information everywhere once and for all.
I have 4 pins too.

Of course; like all of us. - And all of us can use that cable for charging and data connections, because it's a plain normal cable for peripheral devices.
There are cables with 5 pins; Sony provides cables like that with some devices because they are a bit better suited for universal use; you can use them either with peripheral devices or with host devices. Smartphones are peripheral devices, use as a host is quite rare. That's why Samsung provides cables with peripheral device functionality, only.
That way, they save money: 4 pins only means 4 wires only. And that's saving 1/5 of the copper costs plus a tiny amount for the gold-plated contacts. Just cents, if not less.
But if you deliver millions of cables, it sums up.
Samsung sold about 40 millions Galaxy S4. Let's say they saved just 2 cents with every USB cable delivered with the devices, it sums up to 800.000 US$; savings of almost a million US$.
And that's just for a single product of the whole Samsung portfolio. - Just by leaving out one useless pin.
Useless, because that additional pin is just for signalling host device or peripheral device. No use with a smartphone, no sense in using such cables for charging or data transfer purposes, just a waste of money. Plus, that behavior generates even more income if people wish to use their smartphones as a host device; e. g. for connecting a flash drive. So that users will buy a new, "special" cable with all 5 pins connected. Even more money for Samsung.
That's the reason.
Have you cut up the OEM cable on the Note4? There are 4 cables inside. Hence there are 4 pins.

Ok I have same question. I have S7 edge and suddenly on normal charging (fast charging turned off) the phone has started taking around 5 hours or more to charge from 15% to 100%. I say the cable and found 4 pins and assumed that one pin is broken. I had another USB cable and used that with my original charger and this time phone charged in 2 hrs from 25% to 100% (fast charging turned off). Now I have found that original cable only has 4 pins unlike other cables which have 5 pins. I am confused about this and also wondering why my phone is taking so long to charge with original cable (and fast charging turned off).
Can anyone help ?
Would using a cable having 5 pins to charge my Samsung phone damage the port?
I bought my S6 about 1 month ago and since then I have charged it with different micro usb cables.Afew days ago the phone was showing random "top up's" on screen like "power sharing connected",Samsung VR" and yesterday I couldn't charge my phone .I have been to Samsung Care shop to see what's going on.I left it for 1 day to fix it.Thanks God I didn't root it and didn't break the knox to 0x1 and them done the service for free under warranty for 2 years by Samsung.The Engineer told me to not use foreign micro usb cables to S6 because it's different micro usb and it will break.I hope someone will listen to me and to not do whst I done.The normal price to replace usb port to S6 is £253 so be careful guys.

Any cable that is not Samsung S6/Egde original.Its need to be compatible with S6
USB is a standard and the connectors are the same but I agree that some cables might have different connector covers so it might push agains the case and force the usb connector.
On a side note you should black out your information. I can see your name, address, all your phone numbers, your phone serial/imei too...

Sorry that's crap.
A micro USB connector is a standard part, unless you are buying horribly cheap junk maybe, they will all fit fine.
I have used several cables and not hurt the phone at all.
I buy a kignstons usb duo 3.0 64gb for 22 dólars.... that's means I can't use in my S6?
using my OTG usb stick with the S6.... Works. It's a bull**** comment from the repair service...
Lets just hope this won't be an S3 disaster where the USB port was a weak point. My GFs S3 had the S3 USB port problem, where it would start charging very slow due to bad USB port and a week ago, stopped charging completly, unless kept in a specific angle. On my S3, all cables worked that I had, for hers, only 1 cable made a "good" connection.
the repair service has got it half right
regarding physical damage to the port:
what you want to make sure is that other USB cables don't cause stress to the USB port... as you may have noticed, different microUSB cables have different size plugs (the same microUSB metal connector, but the plastics surrounding it are different sized)... we must make sure our cases don't interfere with the cable plug (many case manufacturers only design their case with the original samsung cable in mind, which might not be big enough for plugs like the monoprice microUSB ferrite cable, which has a large rectangular plug)
all the above is moot if you don't use a case
edit: and update with a video to explain what i was mumbling about
regarding electrical damage to the port:
you'd be safe to stick with OEM quality USB AC adapters or other big-name (Anker makes a lot of them) USB AC adapters... but STAY AWAY from those no-name cheap china adapters!! those have poor power filtering, electrical noise, poor grounding, etc....
Just because it fits in the same hole and has the same pins doesn't mean it's compatible. Using a cable not made for fast charging on an S6 would be like trying to jump start a car with a lamp cord. It could overheat at the cable, connector or battery. That's why using the wrong charger or cable voids most warranties. Here's one such case, if you are interested:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/oneplus-one-melted-t3008581
The OP is lucky Samsung honored his warranty.
I call BS. MicroUSB is an industry standard. If they were not compatible not only would they not be able to call it that, but they would be subject to sanctions for violation the requirements for using standard cables ports of which the MicroUSB is currently is.
While you might not get the faster charge if you don't use their cable and their charger unless you are using very poorly made cables you will be just fine.
I charge my s6 most of the time with a BlackBerry charger for one of their discontinued tablets. 1.8A with 6ft fixed cable, I have 6 of them, they charge everything from tablets to phones. The white "short" Samsung cable and charger is in the box.

It is a valid warning, I live I EU and I think that I can trust shops here to sell me good product ... I use original mini USB cables for all my gadgets and all of them are the same but even dispite that on my ex phone I had flimsy connection due to some damage to USB port even I used original cable and I give credit to my using the phone during charging and the fact that most of us use our little finger as a stand and then the USB tend to move a bit and damage is caused...
The truth is that not all are the same as some are faster and some are not ... But in the meaning of just the metal part of actual connector they should be the same by law if EU ...
Considering that in mind the only rule in buying accessory like cables should be are they been through a regulatory channels ....

I use my Nexus 6 charger & cable works fine. Very fast charging on both. Buy OEM cables, a bit more but no headaches...
I use either Qi charging or at home I have uGreen mUSB cables.
No issues with any.
Nor have I had with any phone I've owned.
And I've owned a LOT of phones (probably change my phone a minimum of twice a year)
This is not correct, at all!
Micro USB cables are a standard and every cable should be good to use in the S6. I use 3 cables with mine: The original cable, my Tab S cable and some cable I have for years (from an Huawei X5 or a Moto G, not sure) and haven't had any problem what so ever! As said before, just stay away from the 0,2€ chinese cables.

Why did that happen to me then?i never used chinese cables.i have been using my genuine s4 and htc cable and the damage happened for 1 month after i bought it.so that will happen one day to someone else.if u have a look to the s6 usb port its a small difference between the other phones.it looks thinner.The engineer that fixed my phone advised me to use just S6 genuine usb to my S6.If you know all the Samsung S series have problems with usb port.
Hi Everyone!
Unfortunatelly My x720's USB connector burned few weeks ago during fast charging.. It is burned, the connector is fuzed and I feel the burning smell, but it was already too late.
So the usb port got unusable, I can not use it for charging, and I am not able to connect to my phone!
I wanted to buy a new USB flex board but unfortunatelly there is no full (factory) version on the market!
I searched it many hours on the net, but there are only cheap ( remanufactured) version of it.
They have many missed parts, just have their solder points on the board, so these do not support OTG and fast charging.. I can not understand why can't make full version boards for a higher price, these versions are unhelpful items.
https://ibb.co/kYypx8
https://ibb.co/fnH4VT
https://ibb.co/fZM9x8
So I bought only USB C connectors and I will try to replace it on the original board!
I thing it will be a hard work, but I hope it will succeed.
If not, I have to buy a used phone for parts, and I will take out the USB board from it.
As I see, the X722 have the same flex board!
So I would buy a hard bricked x722 for parts for a good price!
Just very important to me that its USB connector be in a good condition!! Do someone would sell it??
I know unfortunatelly there are lots of users who have hard bricked dead x722...
So if you read this lines and you can help me, please write me, and I hope we can make a deal!
Thanks

Hi, exactly the same happened to me, the USB port of my leeco was burned. I do not know if it would be because of the usb cable c stock that brings (bad quality). But you'd be surprised if I told you that, shortly after the usb port c burned down, I looked more closely at port C and there was melted black plastic on the pins of the connector. Then clean the connector with a fine needle (carefully), getting rid of the plastic, the remains are cleaned with cotton and a little isopropyl alcohol (which leaves no traces when it evaporates). After doing all the above, I was surprised when I plugged in the headphones and it worked, in the end I tried another cable type C first with the PC and it worked (it was recognized by the normal PC), then I took a chance with another charger I had at home (not the Leeco charger) and it worked ... I had no problem loading it. You could try it ..!

Thanks for the response, I would try it, maybe it would work for me as well, but it is pretty melted..Unfortunatelly I have already disassembled the phone. I did not have another cables, but now I have two good quality fast charger USB C cables, but now I already can't try it! I happy that you can use your phone after the accident. Yeah, you're right the original cable has very bad quality. I had already thrown it into the trash.
So I decided If I have already disassembled the phone than I will try to replace the USB C port in the next week and then I'll se what can I do.

You can see teir solder points on the boards. So these don't support OTG and fast charging... Only the normal charging without communications. These are not an option to solve the problem. Maybe if I would replace the missed parts from the original board if the connector replace won't be suceed.. )

The cables are notoriously bad, one of my x727s was destroyed by a bad cable. Fortunately, Amazon exchanged it for a new phone.
We have 4 Leeco phones in our house. I have replaced all of the USB cables with highly rated cables, that have a replacement guarantee.

Although some people recommend also switching the charger block. I don't agree with them, and think that is overkill. Its the stock cables that are garbage, not the the charging blocks.
We have four of these charging blocks and no issues with any of them. In fact, in late December, when the X727 that I returned had its usb card burned. My dad ( a retired electrical engineer) took apart one of the blocks and found it well constructed.
Next, Leeco charging blocks are approved by and meet Qualcomm standards.
https://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/quick-charge-device-list.pdf
If there was an issue with the charging blocks on a large scale, would they still provide this publicly available list? No, I don't think so.
Should you decide to go ahead and replace the adapter anyway, The pdf list has a section with Qualcomm approved chargers under the "Premium Power Banks" section

There are plenty of people with bricked X722's, go to the X722 unbrick thread and message those people, maybe some on will sell you their expensive paperweight for cheap.
If you live near a large city there is bound to be a shop that does repair at the component level. perhaps they could fix your damaged board or as you mentioned transfer the chips from the old board to the 3rd party board that has missing chips. The issue is that some of those chips are likely fried.

Hi
@Kener97
Thanks for the response, I would try it, maybe it would work for me as well, but it is pretty melted..Unfortunatelly I have already disassembled the phone. I did not have another cables, but now I have two good quality fast charger USB C cables, but now I already can't try it! I happy that you can use your phone after the accident. Yeah, you're right the original cable has very bad quality. I had already thrown it into the trash.
So I decided If I have already disassembled the phone than I will try to replace the USB C port in the next week and then I'll se what can I do.
@tsongming
Thanks for the links, but as I wrote, these USB boards unfortunatelly are not the original items just cheap versions with many missed parts! Check the images!!
You can see teir solder points on the boards. So these don't support OTG and fast charging... Only the normal charging without communications. These are not an option to solve the problem. Maybe if I would replace the missed parts from the original board if the connector replace won't be suceed.. )
I will write the result!
Anyone, any other solutions? Or anyone known where could I buy the factory version boards?
Regards,
Daniel

Hello, could you tell me if you managed to get the board working by changing the connector ? My connector also burned. also I was wondering if my earphones would work on the cheap boards that are sold on aliexpress ?

Hi!
No, only will work the slow charging and USB communication with the cheap, useless USB flex board!
But there is a solution, to get a new original x720 USB board with all functionality!
After 3 months and Iots of time what I spend on the net, I found TAOBAO chinese site, and to my surprise some seller selling the original version board there with a good price!
Use the Crome browser with built in translater!
Only one problem, TAOBAO is a chinese "domestic site", and nobody ship to abroad.
But I did not give up! And I found the final solution, that's Yoybuy! (Yoybuy.com)
Yoybuy is a forwrding site!
You can buy everything form chinese sites helped by Yoybuy, for a cheap price!! From Taobao or many chinese site and you can use it English.
Just register at Yoybuy and copy the Taobao item's link to Yoybuy and they will buy the items, what you want! You can pay by paypal as well!
I hope I could help you! My phone is back to life, and it is like a new one!
Regards
Daniel
PS. Definitely buy a new good quality USB C cable for charging ( I recommend You the Oneplus DASH cable) to stay the USB connector intact!

Hi, exactly the same happened to me, the USB port of my leeco was burned. I do not know if it would be because of the usb cable c stock that brings (bad quality). But you'd be surprised if I told you that, shortly after the usb port c burned down, I looked more closely at port C and there was melted black plastic on the pins of the connector. Then clean the connector with a fine needle (carefully), getting rid of the plastic, the remains are cleaned with cotton and a little isopropyl alcohol (which leaves no traces when it evaporates). After doing all the above, I was surprised when I plugged in the headphones and it worked, in the end I tried another cable type C first with the PC and it worked (it was recognized by the normal PC), then I took a chance with another charger I had at home (not the Leeco charger) and it worked ... I had no problem loading it. You could try it ..!

I think you make a good point about the the LeEco charger. Precisely, it is the cable that is the biggest culprit. I recently bought a x720 and had it for a week charging with an old charger and cable of my le 2. One day i couldn't find the le 2 charging cable so I decided to use the one that came with the pro 3. Just seconds after plugging the cable in I smelled burning plastic and could see smoke coming out of the usb port. I removed the cable and could immediately see that it had melted on the pins close to the edge. Funny enough, if i plug this burnt cable on my le 2 it is charging but if i plug it into the pro 3 it gets hot and starts to produce smoke. I have tried with other type c cables and the port is burning them also. Now it looks like I need to replace my usb port. I will have a closer look at it to see if it can be cleaned but I'm not hopeful. I hope i can get original parts for it because i was sold an old phone by an AliExpress seller who claims it's new. I have started a thread on it. Hopefully I can spin it out to ask anyone with information about where to get genuine parts to help restore these old phones.
