That thread.. meh.
I made my own factory cable today, tested and works fine.
From what I've seen, regular USB cables you get with a phone, kindle or buy at walmart usually do not have a wire on pin 4 at the device end.
It's unused.
My guess would be either you dont have a generic usb cable or you're looking at the pins wrong.
Be careful though, as when I was researching factory cables, I came across refferences of some USB cables with pin 4 tied to ground, which is an OTG cable.
You dont want that either.
I think your best bet is to..

Check for damaged pins on the phones micro usb socket.
This happened to me before but was able to straighten it out using a fine needle as a temp fix.
Wow.... Mate, thanks a million that worked for me.

You are a life saver...
I think my USB cable which came with the stock charger is damaged. On the micro USB end, what's supposes to be in the middle/center is now sticking a little out. (I say again on the micro USB end, the one you stick in your phone. Should I replace the microUSB cable and keep the charger?

Does it work properly?
Yeah, works. I went out and bought a a micro USB cable, but it charges much slower than the stock one. Can one of you take a look on those photos and tell me if the jack is okay?

Does your phone charge? Also when you put your cable in your phone does it seem to stick out or does it look flush.
If it looks flush and if it's charging and there doesn't seem to do any damage to the actual phone I wouldn't worry about it.
My samsung charger, the actual USB cable is bent and it still charges just fine and doesn't affect my actual Micro USB slot for the phone.

It looks OK. I can wiggle it a tiny little to the right and left though. I wasted damn 12 euro on that new cable (I know I overpaid, I just wanted to charge my phone safely, ironically it just charged it slow as hell. The cable looked a bit cheap anyways.. I'll just give it away. )

I've jsut found out that my charging cable(factory cable) is screwed.Sometimes it charges,sometimes not.My question is:can it damage the battery,or any hardware parts of the phone causing permanent issues?Of course,now i changed the cable to a good one...
If it sends the wrong voltage then yes but I highly doubt that since the USB Plug controls the voltage with the resistors and such.

No you are completely safe.
Like said above, the usb cable just transfers power. The power source decides how much it charges your phone.
That's why charging your phone with your computer/laptop takes alot longer then using the wall charger.

Yep, it does 500Mah each port but if only one port is in use on a 3 port laptop then it would be 1500Mah.

Awhile back my N4 charging port crapped out on me and is no longer working. It will not charge through a cord whatsoever and ADB doesn't pick it up. I wanted to know if I have any chance to root it. Or really just install CyanogenMod. Any hope? Thanks!
You will need a cable to install a custom recovery, which is needed for rooting your device.

Probably since pin that transfer data is broke, but the one that does the charging is still intact/functional. Samething happened to my Captivate that got water damaged.
It's possible the buy the USB board and replace it, its pretty cheap on ebay.
I charge with the Wireless orb.
warranty replacement or take it apart and fix it. the usb port is on a daughterboard that would probably be relatively cheap to replace if you don't trust your soldering.
There may be hope to unlock and root without usb if you're on 4.2.2. Not if you're on 4.3 already though (yet at least).
Over the past 20 months of ownership of my SGS3 I have had to replace my charger cable numerous times due to the plug not fitting properly in the socket of the phone. I had thought it was a problem with the phone and so just kept on buying new cables every few months.
This morning the latest cable failed and I had only just bought it 3 days ago, ticked off is putting it midly. So I thought I wonder if!
I wonder if the plug on the cable would benefit from a nip right in the middle so that it makes a proper connection with the phone and what do you know it works. I now have about 10 working cables lol. Spent a flipping fortune on them this last 20 months.
So if I have been of use and saved someone else a few £'s, $'s or whatever currency you use please just hit the thanks button.
Happy New year all

Pardon my ignorance but... what's a nip?
Can you share a pic of what you've done to the cable please?
Thank you.
As you can see the plug has been pushed up at the bottom. This helps tighten the plug in the socket. It only needs a gentle nip with a pair of pliers. Not too hard else the plug won't go into the socket. If you look at the plug on your cable it is flat at the bottom
Hope that's of use to you.

Dunno. Maybe the unrecognisable cable is beyond even that solution
