The only other option is via a raw image dump to minisd from someone else's phone...and it has to be an identical type phone.....an easier solution is to find someone to resolder the part..I paid a local tv repair place $10 to resolder the usb port back on mine just last week...they made me open the phone to expose the board but the instructions in the service manual that can be downloaded from the wiki tell you how to take it apart.

where can i buy usb port?
how much?

You don't have the original piece? Ebay sells a replacement part for around $10

its true
People sell oem parts
it saves a lot of people from having to buy another device

can any one tell me where can i buy usb port in Edinburgh?

As I already said...ON EBAY...the part I saw doing a search on "wiza200" shipped from Hong Kong and they ship worldwide.
Do a little searching on your own.

Mines broken too buddy, you can trade it in. Im trading mine in, cuz ts their fault (i flashed, bur its their fault. Back on stock thanks to mobiletechvideos, and will trade mine in anyday. Trust me, or go to mobiletechvideos and they will try it, no garuntees though. Mine has btoken host, which means full phone replacement.

I don't have att anymore and I'm afraid Samsung would find out I was rooted since I was flashing stock kernel to rooted uclb3 when I bricked.

It seems im joining the club of broken USB port. It still charges, but the PC's wont recognize it. One thing i noticed is that if i put it in the car dock it recognizes it but the sound output works on only one channel. the other one is giving +3.9V dc and it fried my headphone...
Ryan, do you have a car dock so you can try this out? Do you think it is the connector or the board?
Edit: I destroyed a cable i did not need just to test a theory and when i connected the wires to a multimeter i got a dc voltage reading where it shouldnt have any voltage. On the Rx and ground wires!
Im going to send my infuse to get serviced and ill report it back.

How did you flash it back to stock unrooted without PC detection to run ODIN?
I have the same issue.

HELP! - Cable Replacement.

Hi everyone, last night I was replacing my girlfriends HTC sensation digitizer.
The replacement went well, or so I thought, untill we realised that the microphone wasnt working, I knew as I was replacing this, that I had broken something as I felt/saw the little cable snap.
Now I know it is the microphone flex cable that needs replacing (IF I AM WRONG ABOUT THIS PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!)
I am about to buy the replacement flex cable, but I'm very nervous about carrying this fix out, as there is no tutorials on the internet.
I don't generally need tutorials, but I enjoy having them up for a reference, and I HAVE NEVER done a flex cable before.
Can anyone help me find out how to replace this cable?
Also let me know if the cable im talking about is the right cable to fix the mic.
Thanks very much in advanced ! Wilks3y

No one can help?
Seriously?
There posts about everything else but no one can help me out swapping a flex cable?

[Q] Sensation XE JTAG

Hello guys,
I want to JTAG my sensation xe and I have few questions that I hope you could help me with.
I want to understand how to connect the phone's motherboard to a power source.
I've seen this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I8bsUgfIlw
and those are my questions:
1. Why another exterior power is needed? why the usb cable connected between motherboard and PC isn't enough?
2. Do I have to connect the motherboard to a power supply or may I just connect the corner pins to the phone's battery?
3. Does the power supply need to have the voltage and the current of a regular Sensation XE Battery?
I just want to see things more cleary, I didn't find my answers on google.
Thank you!

SOLVED!!!

just follow my instruction and you will get your device alive (Like mine)
no need external power
it's verry easy

HTC SENSATION XE RIFF JTAG NO EXTERNAL POWER
EDIT:
If you have the JTAG adapter you don't need to solder any thing
and concerning the power supply, you don't need an additional power source, just the usb cable will do the job

no i don't, but maybe some devices require battery to be on
our htc sensation will turn on just by pluging usb cable
any way you can follow my guide to revive a fully dead htc sensation, other wise you can just do the regular resurrection method
and remember, just use usb cable no external power.
If the jtag won't recognize your phone, just set TCK frequency manualy in 1Mhz

Blu Pure XL Replaceable Parts? (USB Port)

Hello everyone, I've been looking for 2 days now on Parts for the Blu Pure XL (Gionee Elife E8) and I've came up with nothing...
I have a damaged USB Port and I know this cause I've tried every charger in my home and I've cracked it open to take a look and the prongs that connect it to the board are bent. If anyone could give me a source that sells Blu Pure XL parts that would be incredibly helpful!
Please reply URGENTLY.......

Just my thought, but aren't microUSB ports just... microUSB ports? It's not like the ports on different devices differs physically from others. You can use any microUSB cable on any phone with a microUSB port, can't you?
As for replacement parts, I'm not an expert on electronics (perhaps you're more knowledgeable than me), but can't you just swap in any new female microUSB port (or maybe even a USB Type C port, if you have the knowledge and if it fits)?
I'm not sure how the microUSB port is hooked up since I don't have the guts to open up my own Pure XL, but can't you unsolder/cut off your old port and solder in a new one (provided you have the knowledge)?

Possible Solution

MicroUSB ports are not just... MicroUSB ports, there are different types of pin variations (But all are 4 pins) to fit certain types of boards.
I never thought of actually replacing the USB Port. It might actually work, but I'm a little hesitant since I paid $350 for my phone.
Thank you for the reply back and I will try this. By the way, USB Type-C has 24 pins and a MicroUSB has 4; it's possible to use the USB-C, but Id only be able to charge my phone and it would take QC capability away from my phone. If anyone could direct me to the actual PCB Board with the USB and the Speakers for the Blu Pure XL that would be awesome! (Until then I guess this solution will have to do.)
Crude Solution, but works.
So what I did what get into my phone and remove the Non-Removable Battery, spliced an old microUSB cable and connected the Red & Black wires to the P+ & P- of the Lithium Ion Battery. Seems to charge the phone fast, bust remember to keep an eye on it and to not let it overheat... Here is a picture of the outcome: http://imgur.com/98Zolef

Having the same problem but for mine it seems like the metal connector on the outside protrudes whenever I plug a cable into the port... pretty loose by the looks of it.
Methinks I might see if BLU can fix it though.

did you contact BLU?
were they any help?
my phone will only charge if the plug is held at a specific angle.

They weren't able to fix it so they sent me a new Energy XL instead. Slightly inferior specs but battery is outstanding.
Also ported CM 12.1 rather easily to it. But yeah, you're either going to have to fix it yourself or get a replacement Energy XL (they might allow you to get a Pure XR as well, not sure.)

Not to dredge up a old thread; But I still need a charge board for my pure xl; I posted something months ago; and shelved the phone until recently; and I would love to find a source of parts for this.

Hate to bring up an old post but can anyone direct me to a "how to" on installing a new usb pcb? I've disassembled my phone and it seems the only solder point is the lower left hand portion.. I don't see any way of disconnecting otherwise. Ought I un-solder whatever it may be? or is there another method. Sorry btw.

I'll take some pics, but honestly if you cant tell the disconnection points (they are VERY obvious on this phone)
then maybe you should hand this repair off to someone more experienced...

I haven't seen it anywhere; but maybe try taking it apart and checking to see if the spring connections are making good contact...

So what is that big round thing the two wires are going to? My soldering skills aren't the greatest, so I want to make sure I'm not totally screwed if that's not connected.

All these boards seem to be out of stock
All the replacement USB pcba boards seem to be out of stock. I tried to purchase a USB port to replace the USB with but it's really difficult. Anyone know of a place I could buy the USB pcba board that has them in stock?

Replacement PCBA with USB
I also see it sold out at both Better deals and Blu phone parts.
I am asking (Allview) support in Europe but I don't hold much hope. Anyone else found these anywhere?

I bought mine in AliExpress but I think is out of stock. I found it as" Gionee s8 loud speaker "and the PCB from bluphoneparts
