My samsung stratosphere has been having USB charging problems , and its within the one year warranty , So I wish to take it in. But about two - four months ago, I tried rooting and flashing different roms to it. Well it has binary counter of 3 right. Bought a USB JIG , hoping that it would fix the problem, but after buying it, i googled it more and found after 2.3.5 , the JIG doesn't work. or atleast the one i bought. Can anybody recommend a way to fix this?

Don't know that it is possible -- I didn't find much on the Stratosphere.

Yeah sorry man we couldn't help, we don't really know anything much about the Stratosphere, after all this is the Galaxy S 4G forums

okay so i thought id try the odin 1 click for my gt 19000 and then it decided to brick im thinking about buying a jig thing to help but im not sure i'll do anything to get my phone back only had it 2 days and bricked i brought it used
i ask nicely for any ones help, thanks in advance
ummmm....you have an i9000 and you used a one click from the captivate section?
that is beyond comprehensible.
uuummm okay crazy i know i couldnt update it i should'a read more into it i know but is it fixable? =/
if the phone turns on at all yes it is normally fixiable with a jig. double and triple check before you flash next time lol
Lol okay thanks i brought a jig iunno how to use it though would i need a different version of odin or some thin and do i need to download anything else like roms or what ever

yeah well just to be sure check your model number and make sure you have the I9000. then go to the i9000 forums and find a flash to stock. and with the jig just pull your battery and put it back in and plug in the jig and that will put you into download mode. any other questions just ask
thank you ever so much, so i just go into the forms on here and find i9000 flash thingy (if you havent guessed im entirely new to this ) maybe i should have NEVER attempted to do this at all its all kies fault if it would just upate my phone then i would be happy lololololol
is it really an i9000? like with 1 physical home button and 2 capacative buttons?
there is an entire i9000 section specifically for your device...i have no idea why you would use captivate anything.
yeah its really a i9000 good phone lol ima bit of a numpty but ill learn from my mistakes just samsung's ****e kies that made me think there was summit wrong with it.
i know it seems silly but can some one give me a quick guide maybe and before i do this again i wanna know if i need anything else apart from my phone and odin ( is there any different versions of it apart from 1click ) maybe summit like firmware?????? thanks in advance
dude. there are f'ing tutorials EVERYWHERE for this sort of thing. of course there are other ODINS aside from the one click. what you need to do, as has been stated already, is GO TO THE I9000 FORUMS AND READ, READ, READ, and get your information for your phone from the section dedicated to it.
laziness is not an excuse.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DID IT i fixed im excited thank you so much for help =) this form is now in active as i dont need any more help xD be the last time im doing that

nice work.....read read read read then flash always
Hi im trying to reset my flash counter so i can send my skyrocket in for warranty. Been looking into these jigs. i know theres ways to reset it without buying this thing but im new to this rooting and stuff so i will pay 3 bucks for a simple way i guess. i researched on how to do it myself and it just seemed out of my league. but my question is i been looking on amazon and ebay at these jigs and they all say they are for the galaxy s2 but NONE of them say for the skyrocket!!! will the normal galaxy s2 jig work on the skyrocket? i would post links but since im a noob i cant lol. any help appreciated thanks guys.
Jig won't work. You have to flash the counter reset in cwm.

I've read so many posts about USB woes and no PC detection. So now I'm officially a member of the My PC wont recognize my Infuse anymore club. I've tried so many cables, PCs, laptops in many combinations and nothing. Often the phone wont even alert me that I am connected via USB.
So my thoughts are that I troubleshot this to the best of my abilities. Cleaned the port, contacts points etc and still nothing.
I got my phone in August of 2011. And of course I have a great custom ROM running on it now and I cant return to stock!!!
Oh and add to that I have issues with SIM Card detection errors, lost contacts randomly and crappy sound during calls on occasion.
So here is the question...Who do I call ATT or Samsung??? And do I tell them its rooted and running a custom ROM or not admit it (will they find out). Will this cause me to not have any warranty support?
Should I just count my loss at this point and get a new phone out of pocket maybe upgrade to a newer phone... Gxy note, Skyrocket, HTC one X or S3???? unlocked on ebay or ???
Really at a crossing point here and unsure of next steps. Be gentle on me folks this aint easy to fess up on my lack of repair, warranty, return process skills!
Maybe I should just ask Who do I call for warranty support?
The local AT&T store suggested that I call Samsung as they never heard of USB port problems.

Go to an att store and ask where there nearest exchange center is. Then simply tell them what's wrong. If your scared if they will deny you because of the rom, then just brick it by flashing random crap to get no recovery, then they can not really tell unless if you were on gingerbread bootloaders (even then most employees dont get what the numbers mean). Make sure if you want back up all the data to the cloud or use bluetooth to connect your phone and computer to transfer data over. Remember to act stupid like you don't know what happened and you never heard of odin and such.

No problem. Happened to me too... except i wanted the data off it and i completely bricked it, so i headed over to mobiletechvideos and he figured out my usb was broken. He tried exchanging the usb hub and it did not work. Another user found that somehow the voltage was screwed up and running the wrong way, that is probably the cause. I think i was the first person to have this happen to me, it was late last year. Anyway do not take to sammy, they would probably turn you down, they have gotten pretty tough with devices lately, unless if you reset the bootloader. With this experince from sammy, im very tempted to go with the one x for my next phone. Installing custom roms are a pain on that thing, but then again it actually works a lot better the first time around, instead of installing a custom rom.
Yes the One X is very much in my eyes. And I hear you in out of the box performance rather than the need for custom Roms!
I'm hoping that I can convince AT&T to allow me to move up even though my contact ends next year, i've been a customer seems like forever.
Thanks again for the information on mobiletechvideos!!
Dunno about you but I've seen like 3 people post about it ever... And there is always two answers; either your phone's port is broken or you need to learn how to flash ROMs.

Well, since I know how to flash roms and there are several with this issue not just three as you suggest, I'd rule in favor of it being an inoperative port.
The original question was inquiring for return/warranty recommendations and not to solicite judgments of ability or lack thereof.

Thanks for the exchange center suggestion. I went to a different store (device support) and they were fully aware of the USB port issues on many Samsung devices. They, without hesitation gave me an exchange and tested it before I left to ensure all was ok.
Problem resolved!
Mod feel free to close this thread as the question was answered and problem resolved.

Thats good. And idk, maybe i can get some help on this withoit opening another thread? Anyway, would you upgrade and get a one x, or get the tablet asus tf300? For high school they recommend getting a tablet, but idk maybe i could use the one x as one? Idk.
That's a tough one for me to answer. My wife has the HTC One X and loves it. I can't say it could replace a tablet. Maybe the SS Note?

The tablet or the phone? Lol.
im in the club too. phone wont connect to usb for charging or for transfer. have tried with several cables (that work with other phones/devices) but to no avail. Since i bought this phone on ebay will i be able to go to att for a replacement if i am on an att prepaid account. what are the chances of fixing this by replacing the usb port as i have read about users not being able to get it fixed after doing this.
as for now i have resorted to an external charger. it works but a solution to fixing the usb would be much appreciated
WOW
Panama!! I lived there for 11 years!! I miss it!!
Im not sure if they will help you with a replacement. If not there is a place that repairs them

This is the first time im not glad im joining a club .
But as of last month, my usb is not working, returning it is out of the quiestion( im in europe) so im stuck with cwm flashes only. Btw Ryan i did test the wires with a multimeter and i get +Vcc on a wire that should never have voltage running trough. I opened the phone, checked the jack and the pcb, everytning seems factory like, so im screwed...

Question....What did you do about having a flashed ROM and rooted phone if you returned it?

I removed everything that I could and when I returned it. They tried to upload a stock rom and it would not connect at all on their set.
All they were concerned about was the moisture indicator for water damage and physical damage-cracks battery contacts etc. I really played dumb as heck and asked dumb questions.
The tech told me he didn't care about custom roms since in fact the issue was a known problem with the USB port and that was what they were replacing it for.

Did you consider maybe sending it for repair? Or is that not an option? I have a link in a few posts back.
Or maybe ordering a port and installing it?
Alright... heres the situation, I have an Samsung galaxy s2 LTE i7R2 from Rogers... rooted.. worked fine. tried to flash a rom after erasing all data... and now my phone wont turn on, cant boot whatsoever.. tried pulling battery and holding the volume buttons and plugging in usb to download boot and no dice...
ive had this thing for 3 months its for sure not the hardware... anyone know how the hell i can fix this situation without returning my phone... im not a dumby.. but i feel sort of dumb for trying to put a i777 rom on my phone and not realizing it until my phone doesnt boot anymore... uhg... someone please help me
Flashing a 777 rom is a hard brick so no you can't save it you f'd up jtag is your only hope

Uh oh, here it comes....
Its just common since to not flash anything for any other phone. You learned the hard way instead of reading.
oh believe me.. i was reading up all day.. i am not a tech noob either, i deploy computers for a living... i just had so many windows open i downloaded the wrong zip because i was checking other roms and features out... blah i guess ill just make a USB jig..
Jig won't help you you have damaged your partitions and can only fix with jtag why won't you listen I'm not stupid dude I been around for a while

But there are no i777 roms in this forum. You would not look on the MAC forums for Lenovo support would you?

Yea i have looked through google... its a hard brick so not much i can do at this point.. i was thinking a USB jig would get me to download mode... but im being told other wise.. blah this sucks
I suggest sending it off for jtag. You knew the risk, now pay the price. Its an expensive lesson. But a lesson learned hopefully. you can probably get your phone back instead of trying to con Rogers out of a new or refurb phone.
There's another one for noobs/ people who don't listen or read other peoples mistakes! Huh way to go to make skyrocket owners look like we like bricking our phones.... :thumbdown:
Android 4.0.4 AOKP
Ok first of all relax on the hate... im not making anyone look back but myself, i clearly made a simple mistake which cost me a working phone, not much i can do now... i may still try to USB JIG and see if i get anywhere... if not then i will send it in i guess.. anyone know the cost of a Jtag... and what are the chances of rogers just replacing it.. or reflashing it
Seriously.... http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-jtag-brick-repair/
This was recommended in the past. Next time search before you post.
Well i appreciate all the suggestions and help.. and sorry for the hostile people who clearly need to get girlfriends.. like calm down its a question first of all, second of all not everyone has time to spend 9 hours researching bricked phones, I agree i should have taken better steps towards not bricking my phone.. my bad, i guess JTag will get this one... or i will send my phone in to rogers most likely for repair..
It only takes 10 seconds to GOOGLE. Just saying. Its just thread after thread after thread of people flashing the wrong rom, asking for stuff that is right in front of them, or posting threads in the wrong forum all together.
just purchased a verizon galaxy tab 2 10.1" (sch-i915) and was wondering if theres a working root method, cwm, and/or cyanogenmod. Search of the forums and google yeilded little to no results for the i915, however im bad to overlook things. Thanks in advance

All in all, I read that the verizon devices are more locked down than others and I haven't found a working root as of yet.
I haven't tried this yet, but I guess it's worth looking at:

Sure thing! Same with you. So far, I still haven't found anything else. Any luck with the p5113?
Err well, kinda.. I took my i915 back (waited til day 13 of the 14 I had still searching to no avail) and walked next door to Walmart and purchased a 5113 :/ sorry. On a side note, if you have that option, I recommend it, you'll save around $200 and if you REALLY need mobile data on the tablet, tether your phone
