[Q] Long time usb mystery solved - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok so i have be having trouble connecting my phone via usb to the computer. After 6 months of this problem and reading multiple solutions online i decided to replace my usb port for a second time thinking it was a defective port. Turns out their is a transistor on the back side of where the usb ribbon connects to the motherboard which looks to be damaged. Anyone know of a place where i could get this repaired. I'm in CT but any trust worth places would be appreciated.

I would recommend looking into this place. They untucked abd unlocked the gsm on my note 2. Very nice, very helpful. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3-jtag-brick-repair/

Repair / Replacement help

I have an xda exec, which i have had for over a year now and i have been very happy with it... until a couple of weeks ago the mini usb port detached itself from the mainboard :-( Ive read about it happening before on here... but i have no warranty now so im looking for anyone who can help. The mini USB port is also now damaged. I looked at re-soldering it back on but im not good enough to do that... I guess ideally im after another universal with a broken screen or something so as i can make one good one from 2 bad... and then save up a little more towards an athena...
Pocketpctechs will repaire it for $60(including parts &larbor)
Check out the links bellow
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~sessid~560175586~unit~O2_XDA_Exec-500~area~repairs.htm
Thanks for the link - really useful... im contacting them to see if they can supply a replacement mainboard to the UK as that is where im based, if not i can look at posting it over i guess... Many Thanks - Dave
i brought a stand alone charger that you pop your battery in! pain in the ass but if you have two batterys its all good then use bluetooth to sync and install your apps and files im in the UK too
Yeah, thats exactly what i have done in the short term... but after upgrading my old XDA IIs yesterday to Windows Mobile 6 i fancy seeing what sort of improvements are available for my Universal.
On a side question can you sync over wifi?
you used to be able to but there was security concerns so they removed it from activesync if you have an old copy of active syncc then yes...

got bootloader but no USB

I got two 8125. One shows usb connection when I get to the bootloader .The other, I got to the bootloader but when i connect the usb cable to pc, I don't see usb show on the lcd of the 8125. My pc won't see the usb connection at all. please help.
thanks,
hn
Read the linky in my siggy. Could be a damaged usb port on your device. The thread in my siggy tears apart possible issues and fixes, so if it doesn't help, post back.
The usb port is used to work but now it is not working anymore even I get to bootloader. there is no USB showing at the bottom of the bootloader screen
thanks,
Like I said, read the linky in my siggy. In the thread it explains repairing the usb. You need to read the stuff to understand how it works. We cannot just give you a stock answer. If your usb is damaged, the link explains how to make solder connections (if you are so inclined to repair it yourself, at your own risk). If your usb is damaged, you are pretty much screwed until you make the repair. The thread also explains that and why. Read, read, read, and when you think you've read it all, read some more. That is the motto here.
thank you very much for our response. I have read but the problem is the the usb is used to work just fine before I did a wizbackup and unlock the sim. After that the usb is not working anymore. I got to the bootloader but no usb shows at the bottom of the lcd. So, this is NOT hardware for sure. Just wanted to know how to get a sd image so that I can boot it and hopefully get usb port back showing at the bottom of the lcd.
thanks,
hn
You will not be able to get a SD boot. You NEED a usb connection. I know I tried it. Your usb may be damaged, even just a small bit. Mine didn't break outright. First it was just loose enough that it wasn't physically noticeable, but I'd have to give a slight jiggle to get the usb to connect...I think page 2 of that thread I linked explains the issues of no usb and trying to boot via SD. You may consider dissecting your device and checking the connections. Again, that thread explains what to look for. Also, you cannot use someone else's SD image, it MUST be from YOUR device to work.

Where to find right replacement Mini-B Usb?

Hi,
My mini-B usb female connector (for charging and usb connectivity etc) is broken...
I need to find a replacement,
but I don't know what model it's exactly..
I don't what to end up ordering something I can't use :]
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
What is the Make/Model of your phone. Either you can send it to the original manufacturer/vendor if still under warranty or you can order from ebay.First know the maker and model No # of your phone like T-mobile,cingular,i-mate or At&tt etc and model like T-mobile MDA,vario, etc etc,ok
Cheers !
I have mine from www.techcenter.fr
It's an HTC Wizard, Wiza200. (Qtek in fact)
Looking for a replacement USB port for your Apache or Wizard?
Go to:

You're looking for "D" in the pic's (Mouser Stock No. 538-67503-1020)
I have purchased them, they fit perfectly!
Good luck
bioChaz-
My USB connector is broken as well. Have you replaced one yourself? I want to know how hard it would be to do, because I'm thinking of ordering the part and attempting it.
what about ppc techs. they repair and sell that part.
I've done it a bunch of times...it definitely takes a few trys before u get it right...if ur familiar w/ soldering then it should be fairly easy, but if not...it might be worth paying some one to do it for u...if the pads are ripped from the motherboard then they have to be retraced...that is even harder...then it is worth paying to have it fixed for sure...otherwise, there is always the upgrade
upgrade? i wish. bought mine off the streets. thanks

I knew I'd be able to get this part from DigiKey/Mouser, but I was just never sure which was the right one so I never bothered.
Thanks!

Need to update ROM but usb not recognized!!!

I have a TMO HD2 US version. I am running 32-bit Win7 Ultimate with WMDC 6.1 I can sync the phone with the bluetooth on. I could have the factory TMO usb attached it will charge but not recognize the device. I attempted to update the latest OEM ROM and it just got to the multi color bar screen.I have tried the device on several other pc's with no luck...Windows 7 32bit,XP SP3,no luck. What gives is there a way I can update without the usb cable? Any input would help. Thanks in advance.
Here is a link to my tutorial on how to flash via the SD Card.
Have you tried a different cable? If there is a problem with the phones USB connection, take it back and have it replaced.
whenever you plug in the phone it comes up with 2 options to either connect via active sync or use as mass storage. could this be the problem? hope this helps
Thanks guys!
I am going to try another cable first...i traded my... need I say... iPhone for the HD2 that I have now. I must say its different.I am definitely not happy about the sync issue.MS,TMO both are claiming they have not had that issue. I doubt that TMo will repair or replace a second hand phone purchase. :-(
try restarting your computer and phone, I occasionally have this problem as well, that seems to fix it
It was the cable!!! The T-Mobile
The T-Mobile micro usb cable is JUST FOR Charging. I picked up a data/charge cable at Target for around $15.Problem solved. Many thanks for the replies.

I use it just fine for data all the time on mine I think you just happened to get a bum cable with a bad data pin connection somewhere....it's not unheard of with HTC devices.

My cable works just fine for data and charging both. I didn't know that different types even existed
I'm heading to Target now to see if I can find an extra cable though, everywhere else is charging $19.99 and up (the Shack wanted $34.99!).
Nippon Labs Black 6 ft. Micro USB Cable A/Male to Micro USB Cable B/Male Model USB-6-Micro $7.69 with free shipping.

Well I would say this is the best place to start then...
-Different USB port
-Different computer
-Different cable
If you had already done the first two, then it's obviously worth trying the last

Found the fix, not sure how it will work on Vista or 7, but on xp, if you have set on your phone to default always auto connect, you then have to manually activate the phone in driver details under properties of "mycomputer" then device manager

GPD XD OTG Issues

Hello everyone, I hope this is the right section where to post, I have scrolled down the home page until I've found this one. This is an android console based on Rockchip cpu so I guessed I'd give it a try with my problem. If not please forgive my dumbness and move the thread.
I have bought a GPD XD console that works very flawlessly beside one big huge damn problem I am not able to resolve.
One day I tried to hook it to my TV and looks great. Then I wanted to connect my 360 wired controller via USB otg. No luck. Then I tried ps3. Same. Ps4 controller? Again nothing appears on screen. Mouse, keyboards, flash drives, just nothing. Also updated it to last firmware. Tried 3 usb otg cables, 2 cheap one and one with gold plated connectors that costs more (dunno if this changes).
So I tried some of the methods I've found online to test the otg support and actually otg support is ok. What wasn't ok therefore, is that I had to download 3 xml files and putting then into permissions folder and allow them but still nothing happens. Downloaded then a vold file to put it into etc folder and again nothing works. The apps i've tried all tells me the otg support is ok but find me no otg signal
Actually usb port works for charging the device or make it visible to pc but this damn otg won't work.
I tried almost anything, . I am kinda noob at this but if usb works for charging and pc I can assume is a software issue and not an hardware one, or is it possibile the otg function depends on usb port "broken" even if usb port works for other operations?
Please I would be very glad if you could help me. Since it's passed too much time for a refund and send it back in China for a replacement will costs me a lot and takes like months if not one year as I've read around.
I guess I choose the wrong section
