I have NO idea how this happened, but the usb connector on my T-mobile-branded htc-universal broke, and is hanging by a thread (or a solder joint?)
Is there anybody who works on these, or any way to fix it?
I live in USA, but will ship wherever I need to if I can fix it for a reasonable deal.
If theres a certain board that can pop out (like a sub-board) I would be willing to attempt opening it and replacing board myself, if it doesnt include soldering sub-miniature parts.
Thanks in Advance for any help anyone can offer me.
Also, (if worse comes to worse), is anybody selling a working Universal?
Thanks -- AshayinFLA
www.pocketpctechs.com would fix it for you. Goodluck
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It involves soldering an smd part. I did it myself because I wanted my phone repaired in a hurry (just before going on vacation) It's doable, but if you can have it done by a professional then that's a better bet.
My hand is not that steady.... I'll get the pro's to do the job!
How much is it worth to do the ram chip upgrade, while they have it? I think they will do this work, but am waiting back for an email. How much is the actual chips, and what is a "fair" price that they should charge to add the ram chips? If anyone has done this before, does it effect overall system speed/performance (more ram) or just add more internal storage space?

ive had the same problem last week i just brought a broken screen exec on ebay and replaced the mother board! with the service manual on here its as simple as abc it has pictures too!
i lie 20 mins after i broke the new usb connector on new board thats my money down the drain!
This is a common problem.
In the past year i have had to return 2 of these to 02 who are aware there is a problem and have replace them no questions asked.
My HTC Touch Pro's motherboard broke. And since I had illegal software on there they are overcharging me to repair it. Is there any way that I can find one somewhere online?
IMHO, the motherboard IS the phone since it contains the processor and all the other components. Not to mention ESN. My TP has a dead Touch Digitizer, I'm looking for a replacement,
Wow. I don't think you can find something like that. And if you can, it usually costs almost as much as a new phone.
It's like trying to change the whole engine of a Ferrari
Your better off selling the working parts off your old broken TP and using the money raised to purchase a fully working one
I was looking online and someone is selling an HD2 on which he states the touchscreen does not respond. He wants $100 for the HD2. The screen is not cracked at all...it just stopped responding. Of course, I will check for water damage before buying as well but I was thiniking that this would be a great way to get another HD2 inexpensively.
If I just need the digitizer, I can perform the repair, as I have done it many times with BlackBerry devices.
Here is the part I found:

Is this the correct part? Any opinions on this vendor?

Yo bro, not share about that one, and I don't recommend you chance it, This one works and fits for sure: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HTC-HD2-T85...GITIZER-LENS-/130408390309?pt=PDA_Accessories
You may also send it back to HTC for repairs, I was quoted $120 for Digitizer and installation. Hope I helped a Little.
Do any of you know where to get "spare" parts for these devices? I recently came across an HD2 with a broken USB connector and I need to get a new circuit board and hardware buttons... just wondering if any of you knew of any sources?
Same problem here. Broken usb and answer and return buttom broken. Htc charges to much for repairing..... Bought a desire hd instead.... Good luck searching.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

just to add on this. type "faulty" or "damaged" for mobile phones and you'll come up with a host of devices that're being sold cheap. you can then further filter it down to htc and you should get a few. saw one the other day with the volume keys malfunctioning.
Any of you guys still got your old, broken HD2 lying around?
I damaged the one of the pins on my wifi module after replacing the touch-screen digitizer, now I'm only getting 10-20% signal strength over wifi.
I can't find the part anywhere and wondered if anyone would be up for selling theirs, either the module or whole broken phone?

My screen stopped responding a few days ago. Pretty sure its a HW problem since I've flashed to different working ROMs and it doesn't respond to anything. I'm still debating if I should invest in fixing it or a new phone. If the price is right, I'd be willing to sell it. PM me
Hi Community,
I tried as hard as I could but at this point I've basically given up.
The Problem:
Phone USB-C Port was damaged while charging overnight (Bad LeEco Cable). Over months with a few shipments from aliexpress I tried to repair it, damaged the screen during the process etc etc...
I changed the USB-Board as well as the damaged battery, sadly it's still broken. If I plug it in nothing happens, no detection or anything, charging works though! I unpluged the data line on the flex cable and the behaviour is absolutely the same. This leads me to the conclusion that the power line is ok but the data flex cable or something on the motherboard is "fu**ed". I also tried an EDL Cable as well as an USB Stick. The USB Stick gets powered but not detected by TWRP which is luckily still installed.
Is there any way to safe this phone or into the trash it goes? Thanks in advance to the community, I've been an avid reader for the past couple years and the solutions always suprise me
tl;dr Charging works, data not so much, any way to get something on this phone?
BTW: I don't want to buy a Jtag Box or something else that is 1 time use and 20$+
Thanks so much in advance!
Hi
Never give up, always there are solutions just you need to find it!
And yeah, you're right the cheap quality original leeco cable made this big problem as You say.
We already talked about this problem, because my phone's port was burned as well, but I could repair it, with an original USB flex board.. So now my phone stayed alive and he is just like the original one
I think won't be good the cheap fake Usb boards from aliexpress.. etc.
You need only the factory version!
Please check these topics, I have written there the solutions!

Thank you very much! I hope there really is a difference between the boards you can get from aliexpress and the one you get from taobao. Gonna order tomorrow and then wait :highfive::good:
Would be pure bliss if I can get this phone to work again.
Edit: Could you post the Taobao Link? You listed what to do, but not which products to buy, would reduce the risk to buy bad stuff again, thanks in advance

Your issue could be the motherboard.
Absolutely those factory cables are garbage, we had two Leeco destroyed by bad cables in my house. Fortunately, they were under Amazon's warranty and they were replaced with new phones.
Currently I also have a critical issue also, where my phone will start in fastboot, but will shut down when attempting to boot to the system or recovery.
To make matters worse, I could only find used motherboards priced on the average of $150 which is way too high when you can find a complete X720 on Aliexpress for about the same price :
As far as getting your data, can you boot to fastboot, if so you may be able to copy the data from the phone and then erase storage using adb. For example, adb pull <path-of-the-file> or : adb pull sdcard/ ( this should work)
As far as the issue about you phone, something that you flashed may have damaged the board. Last week several people had damage as the result of flashing a Rom that didn't have thermals ( it was an accident / Oversight)
Another option, if you are like me and cash is tight. Xiaomi has several quality phones for around $200 and the specs are excellent. Phones such as the A2, Note 6 Pro, or check this out ( Then google Snapdragon 636 vs 821 )
I hope something here helps you.

Hi
Sorry for the late answer, but I was very busy in this week!
.
So You can buy the original board from Taobao but only through Yoybuy. You can buy lots of factory parts for the phone or any other gadgets as well of course. Just you have to use the taobao's item link.
Here you can find what I I bought. This is 100% original board!
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=563268285618
It was only 14$+ 7$ was the yoybuy service fee. The shipping cost depends of the shipping version.
The whole shipping after my payment was about 2 weeks to hungary!
Good luck!

Hi
Yes of course it is quite simple, just you have to write it on TAOBAO 'X720 mother board' to the search bar.
I found a seller, he is selling more version of boards.. Just use this link at the Yoybuy and you can choose the right version at that site.. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.1.2f6347c1TLsAv7&id=572435958176&ns=1&abbucket=20#detail

While what this website is selling is hard to determine for an English speaker. What they are selling is board repair at a super low price. Frankly, I don't understand how they make money.
But here is an option for you. I too have an old phone with a fried board, so I will research this place further and probably will mail my board to them for repair.
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?sp...GLVYx&scm=1007.13066.127260.0&id=559560190173
By the way, you have to create a account to view pricing and there is an option to change the site to whatever language you prefer. Basically with the cost of transport included it seems that we can have our motherboards repaired for under $20.

I have no idea, as I am not there with you and I don't know what steps you took to ground yourself prior to changing out the board, if you were sent the wrong board then you should contact TaoBao for a refund. They have a return policy similar to other large online vendors.
Is it possible, that you received the wrong board, or that you shorted out the board by accident? If it didn't look identical to the board that you replaced then it obviously would not be compatible. If the board was in fact a correct working board, your issue could be something else such as the usb card, the connection to the usb port, or shorted flex cables. ( I assume that you tried alternate usb cables?
To be clear the link I provided was intended for on site repair, not the sale of a motherboard for sale. (repairing the board that you already own)
For example, If you have broken solder connections, you would pay a small deposit and ship the the phone to the advertised repair shop, for them to repair, by fully reballing the board.
There have been users that were able to get their phones back in working order for under $40
Finally if you are hearing a buzzing noise then you have a burned capacitor which should be an easy and cheap fix for a shop that has the tools and can repair at the component level.
Edit
The price of these phones have recently dramatically dropped Here you can find a new 4GB/64GB X720 for $140
You can replace the usb board yourself. Hardest part is removing the screen. You need a heat gun for that. And double sided 3m tape to reattach.
The actual board only costs $5.
Amazing that a 400 phone will be rendered useless by a $5 part.
Hey guys it's me again, I didn't know what to do and the phone was just flying around collecting dust. But I found a seller that apparently stocks original USB Boards. The ones you could get so far were missing components that are required for OTG etc.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB...833.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.71874c4dOUgL1P
It's 13$ but well, better than a wrecked phone. Now I can also solder quite well, sad I threw away my original board otherwise I could have transplanted the missing IC circuitry. This wasn't a problem I thought that would happen. "Missing" components on a board never happend to me and "a**hat" move to sell boards without saying that it's only good for charging...
This is the part I bought off eBay.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/192576662284
The only soldering necessary was that it didn't come with the speaker so had to remove it from the old bad board and solder it to the new one.
Phone has been back to functional since. I had to replace battery as well because I think the heat gun damaged it. That was about $17

Is OTG working since the compontens of the product you send are also missing on the photo.
Did you want me to attach an otg adapter to my phone to see if it could access the storage?
Or did you want me to connect my phone to a computer via usb-c cable to see if it could be accessed by the computer?
FYI, here's pictures of the old board from my x727 for reference

Here's my comparison between an old Aliexpress board I ordered and the new one with all the necessary IC components on it. Quite the difference...
How much was the new board? Not knowing really if it would work or not, I just ordered the cheaper 5$ board.
