Hello all,
I need to help a friend with his Note 4 N910W. The devices has some software issues but has a bad USB. Can not be flashed with Odin.
Already replaced the complete Charging port Flex/Module but still not connecting to PC for data. It doesn't also fast charge as I believe it uses the data pin to detect the charger plugged in.
I have tried rooting without pc then flashing a custom rom but can't find a rooting method.
Can anyone help or point to where a can get a ROM/FIRMWARE which is signed and can flash via the Stock Android Recovery cos I think it's the only next thing that can work.
Thanks.

Hey guys,
I'm about ready to throw a brick through a window at Samsung's Headquarters, so I'm sure this will make an excellent first post.
Earlier today, my dad decided to update is rooted phone via a T-Mobile update sent out via the internet to the latest J16 firmware. Not surprisingly, his phone was one of many to get soft bricked. From this point I used ODIN to flash back to J15 and then used it again to upgrade to J16. Now, the phone boots normally, but it still seems to have ROM manager and other root applications on its hard drive despite the fact that ODIN should have wiped out all of the packages.
This coupled with the fact that I have failed to re-root the device and USB connectivity is awful compared to J15, I decided to try and flash back to J15 using ODIN. Only this time, when I get the device into download mode it isn't recognized properly as a USB device by my computer; therefore, ODIN won't recognize it either.
My dad is about ready to take the phone to T-Mobile in hopes of getting a new device, but before he attempts this I'm wondering if there are any solutions to my problems that A) Fix USB connectivity in download mode or B) Allow me to whipe all data and revert to J15 in some other manner.
Help would be appreciated!

First and foremost make sure your plugging the usb into a usb port that is connected directly to the motherboard. Should stablize the usb connection. ( I had the same issue) Second flash to JFD via odin, then you want to upgrade to J16 via the vibrant version of kies mini. OTA update is not the greatest.
The JI5/6 updates don't wipe all data and apps, as they were designed to be OTA updates and not complete new installs. Can't have people complaining that an update wiped their entire phone, right? Stock JFD is a full flash which wipes all user data.
And yes, try to have it plugged directly into the motherboard's USB ports, make sure the contacts on the microUSB aren't corroded, and try deleting the Vibrant drivers and reinstalling them.
which version of odin you using? try 1.3 if not already
Kies or ODin
Nevermind I found it here ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us.jsp?SITE_ID=22&PG_ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=341559
All you hace to do is go to USB settings and with the OTA update for J16, there's an option to choose "Ask what to connect" either samsung kies, mass storage, etc. Happen to me, did unroot, factory reset and there you go, just need to go to that stupid settings.
i wanted to know if i would be able to update my friends GM900F to the newly released Android 5.0 ROM without a computer.
Only reason im doing this is because for some strange reason his phone isnt being recognised but my S5 (GM900H) is. When pluged in it doesnt even say connected as media device on the phone itself. Tried doing all i could, reinstalling drivers and what not even using another laptop on windows 7, and yes USB Debugging is on
he really wants to flash the new ROM badly and doesnt want to wait for an OTA,
I was wondering if in theory i could get it to work by rooting his phone with towelroot, installing Mobile Odin and then flashing the Firmware?
if it fails and is soft bricked i dont know how to go about fixing it cause it just wont recognise the device at all or install drivers, but my S5 (GM900H) gets recognised fine.
Has anyone ever used Mobile Odin to flash a whole new firmware?
any tips
Wait for first custom Roms and flash via recovery. [emoji52]

my s6e+ (g928f) will not connect to my PC. I do not believe it to be a driver issue because i have tried uninstalling reinstalling etc and tried barebone drivers.
Also the other day my phone stuck at 0% and would not charge, either wired or wirelessly. After 2 days it started to charge again.....
I thought my usb port was bust but this seems like a software issue, right? I obviously cannot connect to odin because it doesn't detect my device.
Is there such a thing as flashable stock roms i can flash in CWM, instead of using odin?
Its worth mentioning i did a couple weeks ago update to MM and then downgrade back to LP so i believe my modem and bootloader were updated during the process, would they have been downgraded back to the LP versions after restoring my nandroid backup?
I know this is a tricky one but i'm in a mess, help
Hi,
I'm having some trouble restoring the official FW on my old S4. The idea was that I wanted to give it to another family member, and would prefer to give them the stock FW rather than deal with whatever potential issues a custom FW offers (don't get me wrong, custom FW tend to be awesome, but I hope you get the picture).
I downloaded the latest, official FW for this phone and proceeded to try and flash it using Odin (MD5 file specified as PDA). Alas, this got stuck on flashing BOOT. So I tried to hook up the USB cable to a different USB port (I was using a hub before) and that went through BOOT, but failed with a write error later d.wn the line. This, alas, has been my experience thus far. I've tried other Odin versions and another FW version, all failing with the write error.
I've even tried to use KIES to restore, but now KIES fails to recognize the phone at all (neither normally, nor in the recovery mode as the phone suggests, nor can I "initialize" the phone, as apparently the GT-I9505 does not support it).
I do feel not all is lost, as I can get into the download mode without issues, but I'm unsure how to proceed. Please help.
OK, I think I got it.
It turns out my USB cable was sh*t. With a new USB cable it works fine.
Hello people!
I've been doing installation of custom ROM and any kind of configuration for a while now. But I have now in my hands a tough problem. My dad bought athene XT1640-DS (Moto G4 Plus), just like the one of mine own, but mine doesn't have the '-DS'.
But the device is stuck at Stock Android 6.0.1 and I can't update it.
The USB seems have some problem because any PC in my house recognize the 6.0.1 phone, but works fine with my up to date 8.1.0 athene, but it's charging only, and the turbo charging isn't working. the fingerprint isn't working neither.
It looks like the bootloader was unlooked, because everytime it's turned on shows the 'bootloarder unlock message'. But I was unable to root it, I tried all the one click root apps, but none of them worked.
It doesn't have any custom recovery, so I tried to update with the stock recovery but every OTA Blur Version rom that I found for athene shows a error telling that my ROM version isn't compatible with the updates (the ROM version code of this phone is MPJ24.139-23.1/ 1 user).
Anyone have any hints of what can I do to update this device?
Device XT-1640-DS
Android: 6.0.1
M8952_7000.04.03.32R
ATHENE_BRAZIL_DSDS_CUST
Kernel: 3.10.84-GCF01273

MPJ23.139-23.1
From what I know one click methods doesn't work with this device. You need a proper kernel for android 6.0 like elementalx 1.0. And supersu or magisk zip flashed through a recovery like TWRP.
Is there a way to update de kernel, or do that other things without PC and root?
Or a way to use adb without USB connection?
Have you tried fastboot flash methods like in this thread?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
So.. the big issue is that this device isn't connecting to the PC, it's charges, but neither the PC not the Android show any signs that their are connected. I can't use adb from the PC because I couldn't make the computer recognize the phone.
can you at least transfer files in mtp mode with the usb cable? because looks like the micro usb port is messed up.
If you are on warranty period you should go for it
I can't use the mtp neither. The only thing I can do is charge. And I'm out of warranty :/
