The last paragraph is beyond my repair powerz.
I think he needs a new USB cable.
I didn't catch a word of that.
Use punctuation if you want help because otherwise we don't have a clue what your on about

i bought another ribbon cable with 22 pins and while soldering it to the board of the usb the solder on it made bridges in some places and other places the solder came out it and dosn't adhere to the board any more so i am asking for the layout of the board so i can directly solder the ribbon cable to the micro usb pins

all i want to say is that inside the tab the ribbon cable connecting from the micro usb to the board was cut off and it must be soldered to the micro usb pins i need to know which of them is the data + and data - and the ground i already know the vcc and i think i got the ground right other than that i am in total mess thanks for replaying and srry for my english

/If/ (and that's a big if) it's a single layer board (which I really doubt) you can follow the traces from the pads to whatever. Else, I doubt you'll be able to get it fixed.

Hello all,
Many moons ago I dropped my xda one to many times and damaged the pins in the connector.
I have seen a few similar posts regarding this, and O2s response is to generally replace the entire motherboard.
I finally got around to it, I pulled off the broken connector and soldered on a usb connector.
With great thanks to xda-developers.com, I deduced the pin layout drew up a plan and tried to do the soldering only to find it was too small for me. I took it to an electronics engineer and he did it for me to my specs and low and behold it worked perfectly.
w00 h00!

Finally....someone did it .....
Great work Stephan...u gave me the courage to continue with my project(i'll post it later IF it succeded),since the Himalaya and the BlueAngel connectors are the same as for the Wallaby...
Once again Stephan,thanx for doing what people may know,but no one dare to do
Cheers...

Good to hear! 8)
I am so happy to have my wallaby back!
I was glad we managed to secure the usb connector on the mb by the rear two lugs on the connector, it seems pretty solid. its a shame it sticks out about 5mm from the phone.
This weekend I will open it back up and take some better pics with my own camera, the above (taken with works camera) are pretty cruddy.
I think o2 had the right idea with the usb cable on the mini, 24 pins over 15mm is just too fine and delicate for something that gets thrown around so much.
Cheers!
Charging
Hi Folks,
Any idea does this charge the phone as well ???

Well done Steven, I also need to ask , does this mod also charge the phone?
I have a dislodged serial connector and looking for an easy fix, do you know if a GPS receiver will also work?
I also noticed the rear connector looks like it routes through the serial connector pins, does anyone know if this socket can be used to charge and sinc the phone.

Yes it charges the phone
Yes it charges the phone thats why there is two power lines.
I dropped my phone a few days ago and broke the lcd, only every second vertical line on about half the lcd is working now. Getting an Eten next week
the images seem to be missing from the original post, I will attache them again now if I can find them....yep

mad props to you! i like to see good hardware mods like this!

U could use miniUSB connector ( like in mp3 players )

hi,
I am only 13 years old but i have been trying to fix my xda II for ages.
I was wondering if anybody could give me a detailed way to solder a usb connector. I have lost the 22 pin connector. So i need as much help as possible.
Thanks for reading

As the Himalaya has got the same connector it is still a problem to users and we would appreciate your help.

Can it be used any other connector instead miniUSB? It's ugly to see big phone with a little connector that sneaks out like a slime!!! =)
Hello everyone, I wanted to ask if there is an alternative to pins 14 and 15 for the usb. thanks
as far as i know there isn't. But instead to use usb u can use serial port!
Ok so the USB port doesnt charge or show up on the computer, it was working then i had to bend the cable to certain angles for it to work then it stopped working completely is it possible to fix this?
Connection to the mainboard has broken.
Solution: Needs soldering
Probably not doable so just use a main battery charger and then use Dropbox for file transfers.
Verify that it isn't just the cable. Most of my cables have suffered from my wife walking off with the phone still attached. Had to find a really cheap source locally, fast
[EDIT]Some people may suggest using a dental tool, toothpick or strong pin to attempt a repair. If you do this, be sure to remove the battery before, just to ensure you don't short the pins and ruin your phone.
what do you mean toothpick fix how does that work?
Anybody know anywhere that can fix this? or someone or someway? whats this fixed talked about above?

Remove battery, then with a toothpick(doesn't conduct electricity), carefully clean out the usb port of the phone. you'd be amazed at the stuff that can lurk in there, fluff, potatoes etc.
did you have to bend the cable at the phone end or the middle, if middle it is more likely to be your cable that is duff.
If you get a new cable make sure it is a data cable (4 wires), not a charging one (only 2 wires)

This depends where you are in the world, in the UK there is a small oufit in South Wales that repairs the USB port for about £20 (google is your friend) but elsewhere I have no idea
Hello everyone,
Since a few days my phone doesn't charge unless I hold the cable up and in the left or right corner of the port.
If I just stick it in, it doesn't connect/charge at all. And sometimes it says it's charging, but it isn't at all (or it's losing more power than it's receiving because it doesn't have good contact with the port).
Is there any fix to this or does anyone else have this problem?
It is NOT a problem with my micro-USB cable, I tried many, they all act the same.
Bad news
You have to replace your USB port, there's no doubt about, unfortunately!:crying:
Edit: there's a little chance to solve this by cleaning up your USB port...
i had this and it turned out to be dirt ground into the bottom of the USB port. A thin piece of wire from a tie wrap sorted it.
(of course, usually it IS a faulty USB port)

I suppose this is a stand for what I said:highfive:?!
hehe,. yea, , only to begin with i was countering your 'theres no doubt' remark, , but then realised i hadn't read your whole post.
Well guys, I tried cleaning. A layer of dust came of so I got excited, but it didn't work.
There also is way too much play with the cable when it's in, so yeah.
How much is that port change going to cost me?
from what I've read its not so much the price as the difficulty, , there are loads of stories of repair shops screwing it up. If you're a dab hand with a soldering iron, give it a go, or if you go to a repair shop, get down in writing what they are gonna do if they screw it up.
Yet again a good advice!
I wouldn't suggest to do it your self unless you're a soldering master: as samuel suggested there are (so called) profesionals failing to do this, just because it's tricky enough to get the job done the right way.:fingers-crossed:
Sometimes it is possible to resolve by tightening up the connector in a fashion that promotes the contact of the female to male contacts.
Done one dismantled once as easy to work on connector, basically I pushed the shorter edge in just slightly & with CARE on the female socket in the area over the contact plate thus forcing the male plug to push tighter against the contacts, also tweaked the to plug retention lugs so plug clips tightly.
Worth trying as if lucky can be a cheap easy solution & has worked fine on one I did but as only done the 1 I have no idea if it going to work for majority of worn plugs :-S
Replacing board socket is tricky & not that cheap normally as a good tech knows it a not liked or easy repair ... good luck
Thanks for the great advice everyone, I really appreciate it.

May take couple of adjustment to get it good & best do a little at a time.
Will only work if is contact issue between plugs, if issue is broken contact leg or poor connector leg solder joint to mainboard then no benefit.
Post back if get it working ...

Sure thing! I have one question, though. How do I correctly open up the device without damaging it (too much)?
Torx screwdriver and a thin credit card, there break down videos on youtube.
As above really, do your homework on stripdown & take a lot of care, back cover is easy if done right, plectrum is useful plastic tool for prying things apart or get hold of decent plastic opening tools, credit card can be used but too thick really.
Does anyone know the exact type and frequency of the coaxial pin connectors for the cables on the board? I was prying the cables up with plastic spudger and one popped off board and I couldn't find it. I asked Digikeys support after I narrowed it down and they told me what I already knew. He said email samsung, so I did. It has been a couple weeks since and I got no reply so far. All I know is that they are active, surface mount, male pin coaxial connectors, I think. https://www.digikey.com/short/pcdqqt
I have no idea how to find out exactly which ones I can use. Please if anyone knows, help lol.

same thing happened to me on my note 5, I aligned both cable and connectors together and pushed it in, it was some what stuck together, then I used tape to secure them there for good. I have been using same phone six months no issues. I didn't open to check, since I didn't have too.. otherwise you have to find a repair shop to put one in, if above method wont work for you.

Tape doesn't sound like a very safe idea lol. I would think it would make the inside collect more heat. That or the tape could potentially melt. The s7 edges tend to get hot especially when charging . But soon enough I may just get a soldering gun and try to just solder it on but it still doesn't sound like a good idea. I might try that and then just buy a new board if all else fails.
I have a OnePlus 5 with broken usb-mic connector on the motherboard (FPC). I'd like to restore the charging functionality and, at best, also the usb (data + data -) line. There is a schematic for the FPC pin assignment? There are other place on the board where I can find 5v,gnd,data+,data- line (maybe a jtag or a service hole/plate)?
I also have a spare connector but there's not enough space to re-solder and some plates are gone with the broken connector, so I'd like to find an alternative way.
Thanks

Honestly, resoldering would not help, and since are pretty much left with no alternative but burn chunks of money, I don't know what you expect from here?

I can't understand what You're talking about.
The question (I suppose in the correct section) was easy: There are pins or plates (except the fpc connector) on the OnePlus 5 Board to power it?
For the pourpose I have in mind (a Tasker bridge device) the solder solution would be great, if possible. Seems strange that in the whole board there's not an alternative +5v and a GND to power it. But, after a week and with only Your (non contributing) answer I think I have to get the circuit tester and route some points myself.
I'd rather prefer no answers If the only one I get is about the circumstances and not about the point.
Thanks anyway

Sorry to say if you see it that way. I know what I wrote was correct, and I was just resonating your point that there is no way out. Not sure if you seem to have seen it differently and rather why??

There's always a way out, maybe it could be difficult or expensive, that's not the point. We're talking about a connector, not a more complex component.
Banally, the first way is by following the 5v from usb cable to fcp connector, (as described in a youtube video about OP5T) and check if that plate is still there, then, if not, if there is another point of the same line or a scratchable spot.
The question was about existent schematics and/or other people experience about this or similiar. Things that can make everything easier or confirmed.
So:
- The "repair" is achievable? Absolutely Yes if the fpc plate is not damaged (by making a bridge); probably Yes if damaged.
- The "repair" makes sense? Yes, for my purposes
I can't see Your point and Your statement, as I already know there's a way (that I've asked to be confirmed or already experienced) .
