Usb Cable

I have a problem with all my usb cables. They all worked fine, then they started to become loose where I had to wiggle it to charge. I then brought another one, it wotked perfectly fine, very stable. Now after like a week or two it started to become a loose. I could wiggle it around easily. Now my other usb cables dont even charge. I tried it on two other phones and its the same thing. Any ideas?

Is that the only way? I brought my new one from ebay. Are there any other places?

A common problem with micro USBs from what I've experienced. I'm saying it based on both my wife's Vibrant and my G2x. I bought the replacement originals from each company but same results.

I buy all my cables (cat5, hdmi, usb, coax, etc) from Monoprice (add a .com to the end - I am still a newbie so can't post links) whenever possible. Great quality at very reasonable prices.

Edit:
Okay friends. Found a supplier laptopscreen.com
The issue is, there is no manual or video guide available. Did anyone successfully done DIY replacement of LCD or digitizer? Is it required to remove the PCB s and components for detaching the LCD from digitizer?
Any info appreciated. Thanks

Thanks. But my friend is not much rich to bear that much. So, I have to.
Anyways, i'm from Dubai. I asked Asus and they charge almost equal to the price of a used tablet here. That's Dirhams.1300=~$350.
So looking for some online supplier. I have some knowledge to fix it myself. Just need the LCD.
I found only one on eBay but that's costly also

Your almost better off buying a new unit, my man. Unless the lcds from another asus model is compatible, which would most likely be the 700, which would be the same price.
****t id be hitting up that indoor ski resort if i lived their.

Change the title of your thread to reflect your wish to purchase a bricked, non returnable unit for the screen.
Good Luck!

[Q] Torn Guts

So, I tore this part of the motherboard.
Should I solder a connection back in there or am I screwed?

Try soldring it to c if it woorks else u need to buy a new motherboard flex cable n its not that expensive
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium

I looked at it closer and that ribbon has about 50 small wires running the length of it, so there's no way I can solder it. The ribbon is wired into the blue PCB, and the whole assembly runs about $50. Not worth it for a phone I intended to use only for testing ROMs.

I also tore this piece on my motherboard during a digitizer replacement now no wifi,Bluetooth or volume buttons. I am going to replace it (30$ on eBay). Im hoping it solves my problem. I was also wondering should I reflash my rom after a dissasembly?

I can't speak to that part. I got this phone from a friend who shattered the screen, and I couldn't even flash a Rom because of the sorry state of the digitizer.

Sorry to bother your again. i searched datasheetarchive.com/RTCK-datasheet.html. but couldn't figure out which one is similar to my phone. I'm new to this.
while i was searching for a solution i came across this;
Released support for HTC phones based on MSM8x55 CPU, which are enumerated on USB port as “QHUSB_DLOAD” device. Now it’s possible to repair these phones without soldering any wires. Even without opening !
Following models are supported at the moment:
HTC Desire HD (HTC Ace)
HTC Desire S (HTC Saga)
HTC Desire Z (HTC Vision)
HTC Flyer 3G
HTC Flyer WiFi
HTC Evo View 4G
It is possible to force QHUSB_DLOAD mode by disabling Vdd line on eMMC chip. Check Desire S TP info for example. This means, You can work with any MSM8255/MSM8655 based HTC phone, as long as You force it into QHUSB_DLOAD mode.

although my model isn't listed I wonder if this method could work on my phone, as whenever i plug it to PC it's showing that QHUSB_DLOAD is being installed

I guess it's possible but I would poke around at gitoriuos.org for a while before attempting it.

Buddy I think you're in luck coz it seems your mobile could be repaired using USB, without soldering. If you could manage to open RIFF BOX software without riff box i think you might be able to repair it even without buying a riff box. jtagbox.com/jtag-news/riff-jtag-htc-usb-cable-support-added/

thanks buddy, appreciate your help. but still one x isn't listed. I've tried flashing using by setting TCK speed, yet it's showing "Device not found". I think only option left is finding another place on board where i can solder cables or buying a new motherboard, or waiting till RIFF releases USB repair support for htc one x.

Can take a small copper wire and solder it to the leg where the pad came loose? I know they use copper wires as jumpers for breaks unless it is layered.

i installed the software loaded qualcomm drivers fine, but doesn't load because of the box port check. you'd need a hacked version of the software that bypasses the box check. know of any software only solutions for htc/qualcomm?

Motherboard
Hey , i haven't got any skill in soldering so i cannot make a jtag repair. If I buy a new motherboard like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-ONE-X-S...097?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a7f87fa89 and i put it in my One X will it fix the brick? Thank you!

Did you install RIFF BOX DCC Loader USB Interface USB driver? It says you might need to install when running this for the first time.

I've jtagged the phone, just used a needle and somehow it worked. but unfortunately the LCD was cracked(I'm suspecting that it was cracked while removing the display). this sucks!!!! I'm going to sell this thing as soon as i repair it.
