Hi guys,
I've got a problem with the USB port on my DHD. It charges fine - no problems there - but it refuses to transfer data! I've tried different cables, different ports on the PC, a different PC and a different OS and still the same problem. The PC(s) don't recognise anything has been plugged in and the phone doesn't ask me what type of connection I want. I've cleared the defaults and set it to 'ask every time' but still nothing. Therefore I summise that the USB port on the phone is dead (despite the fact that it transfers power just fine).
My question is; do you think it's fixable without returning to the manufacturer? It's out of warranty by a few months now and I bought it SIM free so I can't go crawling to my network with it. Do you think this is within the capabilities/resources of high street repair shops? The reason I'm asking here instead of in said shops is because I live miles away from the nearest one that I know of and don't fancy making the trip for nothing!
Basically I really, REALLY want to root my phone and start messing around with custom ROMs - but obviously I can't if I have no USB connection :'(
Thanks guys.

Have you tried cleaning the port out with something like a paperclip or a sewing needle? I had the same problem as you and after doing that it works perfectly. It just had a load of fluff from my pocket stuck in it. I went through 3 cables before I realised this :/

Yeah I tried a sewing needle and an air duster. As far as I can tell it's dust free now but still having the same problem.
Might give it another go though and see what happens.

You sure it's out of Warranty? Certainly in the UK warranty is two years and the phone was released here October 2010 thus all UK phones are still well within warranty
Use a magnifying glass or equivalent, and carefully inspect the contacts inside the connector. You might need to clean them up by scraping them down a little. It is very possible they might have some debris stuck on them. If the port is very loose, take the phone apart and using needle nose pliers, squeeze the connector housing together a little to tighten it up. Had to do this on my TP2 port after a while(mini USB) and it worked like a charm.

I asked in a rapair shop and the guy there seemed to think it was likely a problem with the traces on the charging block. Although that was just his opinion from experience - he didn't actually look at it. I declined his offer to open it up and have a gander.
I wasn't aware it was a 2 year warranty. I might send it back then.
Has anyone had any experience with HTC's service centres?
Are they likely to also flash the phone with the latest firmware whilst they're at it? AFAIK (though do correct me if I'm wrong as admittedly I haven't checked in a while) there's no known way to gain root for the latest firmware.

I had the same problem few months back,but cleaning the port with dust cleaner now It's doing good.
I had the same problem, but when I clean carefully slowly with needle I solved the problem.

I assume they'd flash a Sim free model with stock manufacturer firmware? I hope so anyway.
So is the latest stock firmware rootable with aahk? Last I checked it wasn't.

I might try this before attempting the service centre then.
Did you just use a needle or did you use any kind of cleaning solution or air duster etc?

Repair depot technicians, that's who! LOL
It's funny actually, I don't even think I have a warranty on my international model, but I still haven't rooted my Note 4...
I think the bigger drawback of rooting is that OTA updates may no longer happen . Or am I confused there?
I've had two different rooted S3s replaced at Best Buy and they have never checked for anything.
EDIT: But I did revert back to the stock rom before going to BB.

What was the reason you brought two S3's back? I'm sure if it was something that needed immediate replacement, they may not bother, but a "regular" repair might involve checking your software/counters.
I don't really care since mine is far away from Hong Kong, and I think it doesn't support warranty (not too sure). I won't wait even it does, pretty sure it will gonna take over a month to get it fix plus fees. And I always change a new phone after a year, so unless hardware failure, I'm happy to have it even it tripped the Knox~
P.S. I rooted my phone straight away after I unpack it Now counted 2 already~
Normally rooting and Xposed is the first thing I'd do but I havent done it yet as I'm nervous about the flash counter and losing OTA updates. Really need root though for Viper and Xposed.

The first time it was due to bad modem/radio( bad reception and dropping calls). The second time they couldn't have checked anyway, I destroyed it with a skid steer. But we've taken our kids S3s several times to be replaced and they didn't go into settings or anything like that so I know best Buy at least, doesn't know anything about checking for root.
On US carriers tripping Knox may be an issue with the 'Full-Price' upgrades (Next, etc.) -- That is how I picked up my N4, but if they look in detail, I would be on the hook for the remainder of the balance even though I had surrendered the phone back to them. There may be a work around / bypass eventually - there were in past phones that utilized counters. I would think there would be one if someone had the knowledge to dump everything and reload after a 'hard wipe'. They need to install them at the factory somehow. I am probably grasping at straws as my cooking experience was Windows Phones.
What would you guys suggest one could do? My OPO lies on my desk collecting dust petty much. It has a faulty touchscreen and not even the latest touchscreen "firmware" remedies this.
Because of that annoying touch issue, I picked up another phone two weeks ago, a Galaxy S5.
I had in mind to just throw it into a brick wall but seeing as I don't like wasting money, that's not really an idea. Though it would be highly satisfying. I can't really sell it like this, can I? OP does not seem to respond to emails.

It may be more than it's worth... unless 'principal' is the most high for you.
If you don't get a response from OnePlus folks, walk over to small claims at your local court house and file a small claim against the company. You'll win.. its a PITA, but sometime when the principal (law Law on your side) is worth it... do it.
It sometimes help mold a companies responsiveness and ethics for the better.

Heya,
It seems like my usb connector is busted (or the entire daughterboard. i'm not sure) but I'm wondering if anyone has had experience replacing just the connector?
The phone still charges via usb, but when i plug it in, it says that the USB device has malfunctioned and it won't connect to the computer. I don't know if this is a daughterboard failure or just a port failure.
i'm hoping to find a way to replace the part without having to remove the screen if it is even remotely possible..
any advice?
Thanks
It looks like you need to remove the screen to replace the USB port. The part is probably quite inexpensive and unless your soldering is extremely good then I'd just replace the whole thing. I did it in my Note 3, that was easy, but never done it on my Note 4.
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+Note+4+Micro-USB+Port+Daughterboard+Replacement/35006
yeah, my biggest worry is that if i have it done by someone, they would crack the screen and a $65 repair will turn into a $300 repair....
Device modified in any way? Knox tripped?.....If not then (in the EU at least) Samsung provides a 2 year warranty......
It *could* be argued that the usb port should be expected to last for the full 2 years at least......
Check your paperwork/warranty card and try for warranty repair.

So did you get it repaired already? I have exactly same problem on my N910C. Tried different cables, different pc, factory reset, reinstall driver and other possible fixes that I can find on the net but still can't get it recognized on pc. I sent the phone to some repair shop to replace the usb board but the outcome is still the same.
I've bought the phone as a used unit and straightaway updated it OTA to Marshmallow. It is possible that I got a bad firmware?

unfortunately not yet. I'm still waiting for the part to arrive.
I might pay someone to do it for me, but other than that, i'll have to just try my luck.
I don't know about firmware because my issue cropped up randomly and I've been on this rom for over 3 months. so i think it's more of a port or board failure.
One thing *might* come in to play with the replacement......
On both the S2 and the S5, there were/are several versions of the board for each device.....none of them are interchangeable.
If Samsung follows previous form, this may well be the case for the Note as well.

yup! indeed that was what was holding me up. I have the N910C and no repair shop in the US has that board, so i have to order it from China....

But....If it follows the Samsung pattern, there will be more than one version of that board for the N910C......
Going back as far as my experience with the S2, my device was the international variant, and i discovered that just for that one device, there were 4 different versions of the board.
They were....
REV1.2, REV2.2, REV2.3 and REV2.4....
I had to get the matching version otherwise it led to problems like reduced/loss of signal, otg failure, data transfer failure......The list went on and on....

Since you tried all software fixes you could think of, problem's in hardware. Try another battery and see then. If even then it reboots it's something far more important than the battery and you're screwed :| (have to give it to repair shop).
