[Q] Help required rooting S2 HD LTE (SHV-E120L) with broken USB port - General Questions and Answers

This is my first post to this forum, so any help will be much appreciated.
So, i got a S2 HD LTE Korean (SHV-E120L) which seems to have a broken usb port since it is not detected.It is not even being registered as an unknown device,it simply starts charging which leads me to believe the Micro USB port is damaged.I have tried all tips and tricks to get it to register including cleaning USB port, reinstalling drivers but in vain.
The device is currently running GB 2.3.6 full of korean bloatware and shows all incoming SMS from Unknown Sender which renders the device useless to my needs.
I have successfully rooted this model before using Odin but this time i have no physical connection to a PC.
I have tried to flash custom recovery, tried Wifi adb, tried installing custom roms, but all these steps either require root access or a USB connection.I have stock recovery <3e> which wont let me install any updates other than samsung .Now i am out of ideas so HELP!!!!

[Q] Need a Rom to flash in Android System Recovery

Hello. Newb here so sorry if i make lots of mistakes.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) n8010 that is stuck in a boot loop, only flashing up the Samsung note logo then rebooting.
I am able to get into Android system recovery and Odin mode on the tablet.
It reads the SD CARD.
I have wiped data,factory reset and wiped cache partition.
It will not connect to my PC (tried 3 different ones) via the usb cable. I have the drivers installed via the Samsung_Galaxy_Note_ToolKit but the PC's just say USB Device Not Recognized unknown Device Hardware device not connected to this computer (Kies is not installed).
So i cant use the PC to connect to the tablet to use the tool kit or ODIN to flash any recovery.
Does this mean its most likely a hardware problem?
Faulty cable?
Is there a STOCK/CUSTOM ROM that i can install using the ANDROID SYSTEM RECOVERY via a .zip file that i can put on the SD CARD that will pass the signature verification to set it booting normally?
Thank you in Advance for any advice or suggestions.

I have seen this condition a lot lately.
How old is your Note 10.1, do you have the original factory cable and what condition is it in?
Not being able to connect to your computer is not good.

I bought it 0ct 2012 so its passed the 1 year warranty. Haven't contacted Samsung yet.
If it becoming common then is a mass complaint of all the effected units in order?
The cable is the original factory one. Seems fine on the outside. It charges normally and the PC sees it connected but just as an unknown device.
Tried to connect with the Kies (after downloading and installing) not still no connection.
Might try connecting it to my sisters Mac book tonight.
Buy a new cable?
Any repairers in the England sussex area to fix if worst comes to the worst?
Thanks

[Q] USB port not working or is it working?

Hello
I have owned this HTC Desire S for more than two years now and it is time to retire it to some else in the family and get a new phone.
The problem is I'm running Cyanogenmod on it and the camera will probably not be good enough for the girl that I will give it to.
I want to remove this version of Cyanogenmod but the problem is that the USB port does not allow my computer to detect the phone when I try and flash roms and the like. I need to be able to do this since I have an unclocked bootloader but S-On (Or the other way, point is I need a PC to flash) The weird this is that although I am unable to switch to mass storage on a PC I can access the mass storage function on a TV using the same USB cable. I have been able to play all sorts of files but my computer just cannot read anything.
Does anyone have a clue what the problem could be?
Thanks for any of the replies and help I will get.
What operating system is on your pc?
Have you tried different USB ports on the PC?
it may be ur custom rom fault to for eg . i encountered sam problem with pacman rom later i flashed SVHD Rom and problem solved
try OEM cable!
had o problem with samsung phones!
try to use an new original cable or old but make sure is not broken!

[Q] Phone won't connect to Odin

I had to install the 4.3 firmware on my S3 since it got soft-bricked, but it seems that even though I installed the Samsung USB Drivers and installed Odin, my phone won't connect to Odin. I tried using different charging wires and different USB ports, and that doesn't work either. Even my friend's phone, which was an S3 as well, managed to connect to Odin with the same charging wires. Is it something to do with my phone? I need help with this.
My S3 updated to 4.3 (locked bootloader) and I can't make it connect via USB, it won't connect. I've tried everything, every link I can find, reghacks, drivers (countless installs/etc). I know what I'm doing, I've been using computers longer than a lot of posters here have been alive.
The thing is the device isn't telling the PC what type of Hardware it is, let alone the PC having drivers. I actually think my phone is toast - I'm glad it still charges and you can (if you're not rooted) root via Towelroot without a PC.
Good luck.

Galaxy S6 not recognized on PC or ADB

Dear,
My Galaxy S6 SM-G920F with lollipop 5.1.1
AP : G920FXXU2BOG8

The pc doesn't recongnise it on device manager (i have a win 7 pc), the phone however react as pluged in a charger.
their is no mtp or mass storage switch on notification.
i have reinstall the driver of samsung several times with smart switch & also made it manual by suppressing directrly the samsung usb driver from programs on control panel then reinstall it but no hope.
I can't figure out eitheir its hard or soft.
i had change my cable & also test my pc with another Galaxy s6 it works fine, but mine no.
i have made wipe cache / factory reset also made an initialisation from parameters the phone is formated but not recognised by the pc also test it on another pc but the same behaviour windows pcs doesn't recognise my phone.
However, i figure out that when its on the restore mode (volume down + lock + home) the pc recognise it by Odin and smart switch.

i used different cables and pcs but still not recognised
yesterday i used odin with those options :
BL/AP/CP/CSC and checked
Auto-reboot
F.reset Time
phone EFS Clear
Phone bootloader update
it has taking some while to execute but after that my phone was working and detectable again by my pc the problem was resolved for a couple of hours, in the evening the problem occured again.
and i have tried the process again the same why but no connection at all.
i don't know if its a hardware problem or software related problem
because the usb work when i m in restore mode (Odin mode) otherwise no.
Its an advance problem i already check all about usb / cable and pcs related problem.
Problem resolved
I sent my S6 to Samsung SAV it take them 4 days.
they doesn't give me proper answers on what they have done but i saw that my mini-usb plug is new so i expect that they got this part changed accrodingly the samsung has no sign of damage its a clean operation.
Its now detectable. It was indeed a Hardware problem
i have the same issue but in a g928f
today i changer my lcd with the micro usb flex
so all is new except the main board and still is not recognised at any pc with any cable.
i am really starting to feel very sorry for this phone.
odin does not see it at all even at download mode.
i don't know what else to do.
Software or Hardware Issue
I have a s6 920t that I am suppose to pay for at the end of the day. I got it from a friend who bought it while overseas. The only time my computer detects it is in download mode/odin mode, I hear the sound and I see it as "Added". When I try to connect any other way I don't hear the sound my laptop makes when it has detected a new device also otg cables don't work. I just simply want to know if this a software or a hardware issue? Software I can fix but if it is hardware I don't want to waste my money. Please anyone reply as soon as you can so I can decide what to do.
Thank you
I have two S6 Edge and one of them started doing this (phone only appears on USB when in Download mode). When swapping the motherboard between the phones, it works. So the problem isn't with the motherboard, but the USB connection module attached with the ribbon cable... There must be a chip on the module which gets locked somehow and replacing the board is at least one way to fix it. Hopefully someone finds another method without replacing the charger board?
