micro USB port - Samsung Infuse 4G

Hey all, my infuse micro USB port is shot, any idea on where to get one so I can replace, the one store advertising said they have sold out and don't know if they will get anymore.... I'm stuck with my phone in the mode with the little phone and computer pic, can't get into dl mode and the jig isint working, had problems with USB port before so I think its just shot now.

This mode your in is download mode... pull your battery, maybe dust out your USB port, reboot with cable plugged in and if your connector isn't shot Odin should recognize your phone.

If nothing else works you can try this website http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-infuse-usb-port-repair/ then go to shop by category and choose Samsung infuse.

[Q] HTC Sync drivers won't work

I'm trying to root my girlfriend's Evo Shift 4G. I downloaded the latest version of HTC Sync to my computer but when I connect the phone under sync mode it never detects the phone. Windows 7 starts to install the drivers but fails to install them. I reinstalled windows 7 32 bit no antivirus software and fresh sync install and it still won't work. I went into device manager and it showed Android Phone with a yellow explanation point. I removed the usb cable, uninstalled the android phone device, rebooted, plugged the usb cord into a different usb port and it still won't work. At this point I have no idea what to do in order to get the computer to see the phone so I can use ADB to get the phone rooted. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

i banged my head over this for hours yesterday only to find that the problem was i was using a knock-off ebay usb cable. once i tried the "official" usb cable that came with the phone (has a HTC tag on it) it worked perfectly!!
Definately check the Micro USB Cable. I've had knock off cables be the cause of several issues. I always make sure to use the HTC factory cable. Also make sure and check your ports on the phone, and PC. Make sure they're clean. Dust and dirt collect in them as time goes on.
Okay thanks I'll try the HTC cable. I was using the cable from my Nexus S 4G maybe the phone's port was dirty. I'll check things out. Thanks for the ideas!

Okay I tried cleaning the contacts on 3 different USB cables, cleaned the usb port of the Shift, and still no luck. If it's connected in storage mode or charge only the computer shows an HTC Android Phone. However, once USB debugging is turned on it doesn't know the phone is there. Any other ideas? Is there a different driver that debugging mode uses that maybe I don't have?

Okay now I tried hooking up my Nexus S 4G to the computer and once USB debugging is turned on the computer couldn't locate a driver. It's something about debugging that's messing up my computer.

Make sure USB Debugging is turned on. Menu-Settings-Applications-Develpment. Make sure USB Debug is checked.

He said the problem is the phone isn't recognized once debugging is checked.
This is strange though.. I have rooted my Shift, a Nexus S and installed CM on my Touchpad and never had any issues with the drivers. Maybe try removing and reinstalling the drivers? Obviously something is not agreeing with your PC.
When USB debugging is turned on, windows doesn't find the phones. :-(

Sounds like you need to update the HTC drivers. I used the ones off the Revolutionary site for the EVO4G.
Any way you could link me to where you got the drivers?

USB cables??

Can I use an HTC inspires usb cable for data transfer and Odin type stuff with the Samsung infuse?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
You should be able to as far as i know all android smartphones have the same cable
To be sure just plug it in and try and transfer a file first but im 99% sure it will work
My dads motorola atrix cord works with my infuse when it comes to charging and file transfer-never tried odin with it but i imagine if it can transfer files it can odin

Its designed to work for any of the GALAXY based phones by Samsung. Thats what i was told at least. And it worked great with mine if you saw the above video i posted :silly:
I appreciate you posting this. Was just researching on the OTG as well. Ordering mine from Amazon now. Already had the mhl for 6 months. Was worried that the otg cable would not power a thumb drive. Now I know. Thanks!
Yup sure does, i tried both FAT32 and NTFS Flash drives... Next up is external HDD
Now i need a transformer or a Tab 2
For a USB powered external hdd you need a powered USB hub. If you plug in the hdd directly into the otg cable it does not work.
If your hdd has its own power supply then it works directly.
The phone battery is not enough to power the hdd.

Yeah that's kinda obvious I suppose . Power is required . Still a good to hAve .
Mhl not work with cm9 just yet . Or maybe I'm doing it wrong . But I tested with other roms

What do you mean by "broken?" Do you mean that you can only use the USB connector for charging?
No, it's broken it won't charge or connect to the computer it was broken when I bought it if I play with the cord it says it's charging icon pops up but you can see it drop while it's plugged in that tells me that it's broken i may get it fixed one day but until then I just mess around with it its still a decent phone to play with + I don't have my computer either its in the shop being repaired.

LOL. He knows it's broken. He's asking if there is a way to root without USB.
OP
There is no way that I know of to root without a USB connection. Sorry man. I bet you could have a decent repair shop replace it for under 50 bucks though.
I was reading an found you could root froyo can't find the link though in xda app supposedly you modify recovery and flash kernel for froyo but I can't figure it out does any know what I'm asking hope I'm making sense

Your still gonna need the USB working tough. To modify recovery you need either ADB or ROOT. So like I said not gonna happen. Sorry

Try differents cables and make sure u have the usb drivers for your phone.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I have an s3 also and that connects fine, it has to be something with the infuse, cause I can't flash anything cant update my bootloader or go back to stock.... anyone know if there's some part of the software that can be wiped or something to fix the usb problem...?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I've been in the same boat for a few months. Charge yes. Download mode yes. PC see phone on USB no. Power button failed and replaced it. Asked the place that fixed it about the USB problem and they replaced the USB connection but this didn't help. They said could be a bad USB controller. I've flashed multiple ROMs with full wipe and same story. New USB cables don't help. It seems it must be software related. Have removed all Samsung drivers from my PC and reloaded to no avail. I'd really like to return to stock or GB because I miss taking movies and listening to streaming music without chop. And I think I'm getting old and lazy. Fair likelihood I'll get an S3 or S4 soon and give the infuse to my kid. Maybe I'll something bigger...
