[Q] Micro USB port not working

hello,
mi micro USB is not working propperly right now, for some reason it doesn´t charges correctly, it seems a little... "loose"... im currentl running CM 9 2012/05/26
and when it plugg it in the computer and manage it to start charging, it wont allow me to acces it as a mass storage device, in fact the computer wouldn´t recognize it at all!, any help!?

try another cable, or connecting it to other port after rebooting (usb musnt be connected)
Swyped off my Amazing Defy using ICS

happened with me too, got its motherboard replaced

crap... I`m rooted... so no warranty...
maybe in some repair shop of cellphones the will be able to replace it?
but.. did yours charged at all?
bacause mine does charges when appropietly connected... its just that sometimes it wont nad it will not allow me to get to the mass storage...

If your phone just charge but can't access to masive storage, look in the device manager , if you have a MTP device, your micro ubs port is fine, just try to install some stock rom.

it´s just that some times it doesn´t charges and I need to slowly start trying to adjust the micro USB port so it can charge... that´s why I say that it seems to be a little loose...
As well it will only charge when plugged into my XboX 360 or the computer (and some other devices) but not when plugged into the Stock charger... :S

USB not working for flash
Hi everyone, I came with a similar issue.
The massive storage USB connection is not working for me, plus I can't flash a stock rom,
Currently I'm in MIUI for defy (and it's the only option I am able to install), I tried to wipe data cache to install cyanogenmod 7 from recovery but it's not working, it get stuck in the boot logo. I want to install cyanogenmod because it is fast than MIUI jelly bean.
My idea is to flash the device, but with the usb not working Im stuck,
any ideas to solve this? or should i go to have the usb repaired?

If after a boot in bootloader (power+vol-up) and connecting to PC via usb cable nothing appear onto PC display 3 possibilities exist.
1. Usb cable is broken.
2. Pc have no usb driver foryour device (but even in this case a error message appear)
3. Usb connector or circuitry fron Defy is broken.

Yes, is OK your method but is a little dangerous if you not cover the cleaned pins with some resin. More safe is to use a toothbrush soaked in isopropyl alcohol or 98% ethylalcohol to clean the soldered pins.

Hello guys.
Need urgent help with Samsung Galaxy S5 backup.
Screen and digitizer dont work, also USB Debugging is not turned on.
I need to make SMS and contact backup to Xperia Z3.
I have backup of contacts.spb and messages.sme on my PC.
Options:
I tried with mouse trough OTG cable and I can unlock the phone (there is no pattern or PIN), but its to hard to navigate with nothing showing up on screen.
Micro to HDMI cable is option but i need mouse or keyboard to turn on USB debug.
I have Kies 3 backup of contacts and SMS from this phone but they are in proprietary Samsung formats
*.sme and *.spb, tryed to make recovery of this files to Samsung Grand Neo 2 wich I have but Kies 3 isn't compatible

[Q] Broken Screen - Need Help Turning On USB Debugging

Okay, here's the situation. My girlfriend dropped her S5 and the screen cracked. At first you could see part of the screen, but overnight that stopped working and it's completely black now. The digitizer kind of works, I can unlock the phone but don't know where to go from there. All I'm trying to do is restore her apps and app data to her replacement S5.
I've tried the following:
A. Backed up the the broken screen S5 via both Smart Switch and Kies 3, but for whatever reason both programs do not allow the apps to be restored to the new S5. In one of those programs it mentioned apps need to be installed first before restoring, so I tried installing a couple of apps on the new phone, but still the app restore check box in both smart switch and Kies is greyed out.
B. I pushed sidesync to the broken phone and can see that it is installed from the app backups in both smart switch and kies, but I can't open it on the broken phone so I can't get the virtual screen to work.
C. USB debugging is NOT enabled on the broken phone. I tried blindly navigating but I'm not even sure if I'm getting anywhere.
D. Bought the Samsung USB to HDMI adapter cable. I can get it to work with the new S5, but don't get a signal when connecting it to the broken S5.
My approach so far is to try and get USB Debugging enabled. Then I could use one of the Android virtual screen programs download and run Helium to backup apps and app data, or try a 3rd party Android Transfer PC program (tried one but requires USB debugging). Here are my questions that hopefully someone can answer:
1. I read somewhere that you can enable USB debugging by flashing a custom kernel that has USB Debugging/ADB enabled. Would it be possible to modify a stock NK2 kernel so that it has USB debugging enabled and then I could then flash the modified NK2 kernel to the broken S5? It is recognized in Odin and I'm fairly sure I can get it into Download mode.
2. Would taking apart the broken S5 allow me to possibly fix/mend whatever is broken or disconnected and preventing the HDMI cable from working?
3. Is there some way to restore Apps and App data from the Kies 3 or Smart Switch backups to the new S5? It seems very strange to offer backups of Apps and data in in both programs, but not allow them to be restored to the same make and model replacement phone.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know, I'm willing to try anything. Thanks!
Notes:
If I had done any of the following I could have avoided this mess. (1) Turn on USB debugging (2) Run Samsung sidesync at least once on the phone before it broke, it seems to automatically start if you've gone past the intro screen once. (3) Backed up apps and data via Helium (her phone was not rooted).

Unbrick S4 without USB

Hello,, I have a galaxy s4 running on Omega rom,, and my usb porn doesnt work,
I did a factory reset to find that ALL the apps crash on startup
If the usb porn was working I would have just flashed the stock firmware,, but any operation that needs USB is impossible
Can you please help me? Isnt there a solution?

** It's USB port , not USB porn **
What exactly do you mean by that?
1) Do you have USB cable connected to PC and your PC does not detect it?It could be a cable problem.Have you try a different one?
2) It could also be a driver problem.Do you have installed the correct drivers so your PC can detect your phone right?
Also if you had a custom rom flashed to your phone you can make it work again just by flashing it back using a custom recovery.Format system , data , boot and cache partitions and make a clean install of your rom.If you have not a custom recovery I am afraid you have to flash your phone through USB.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your help
Apologies for that mistake I'm still getting used to my new keyboard..
The USB port doesn't work meaning it neither charges nor connects to pc, because when it was charging, I smelled some plastic burning, could be a short circuit
And I don't have the Zip of the rom anymore on the phone, could it be possible to put an SD card and flash another one that is guarenteed to work?
And yes I have custom recovery

Yes just put a rom on your sd card and flash it.

Yes.If you have access to recovery you can just connect you sdcard to PC with an adapter and put the zip of your rom inside.Then put it but to your phone and flash it back.
You could also try to mount your sdcard to PC from your custom recovery and you put the zip of your choice inside.
