Help! USB/ charge port quit working - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I have to swap batteries and use a wall charger to keep it charged. Does anybody repair it or know of someone to replace it. I still use this phone

Nobody interested in helping out, but if I had a working Lollipop Rom you'd be all over it....

I was able to purchase a flawless SGS4G off eBay for $25

Maybe a different usb cable???

If your positive its not the battery, then it's either the cable or the contacts. Try another cable first though. If it still doesnt work you have the option of going to ebay and buying a new charge port and installing yourself or calling lg if its been less then a year and they should replace it for you.

If a jtag box didn't work, I think it might be gone. What did you do to it?
Board fried?

So the Jtag guy wouldn't service it, or tried to and failed? I would just send it to mobiletechvideos.

I would be concerned with what caused this problem to begin with. Even if you pay to jtag it and it comes back to life if it bricked on its on like you said what would keep it from doing it again? Jtag might get it unbricked but if you have other problems they are still gonna be there when it comes alive.... I agree with xcrazydx mobiletech videos is great. If josh can't fix it then its unrepairable and cannot be fixed. Just search mobile tech videos in Google and contact josh with your problem and he will tell you what to do. I used him to fix a dead USB port on my old captive and he done a great job after others told me it could not be fixed he did it....

Hard bricked infuse

Was running cm10 4.1.1 with butter from last month's build. Running great.... but then phone turned off while in idle one time and won't restart. Won't even bring to Samsung screen or when plugged into computer.. no download mode. No cwm boot as well. I've tried pulling the battery and even putting in my spare one.. no luck. However, sometimes when I do just try to power up normally my keys light up and give the vibration when touched. Which provides some hope
Never had a brick like this before. I'm sure there's software to run... just not sure since no download mode.
Thanks

I'm not really an expert on Samsung devices, but I heard of an item called the USB Jig which apparently repairs hard bricks(?). Its Samsung Galaxy S exclusive, I believe. You might want to check that out

Thanks! I actually just found one of those little guys are ordered it. Had no clue this device existed.. hope it works! Would hate to ditch my infuse now..

So I recently got my jig, didn't feel like sacrificing a cable. I'm sad to say that when plugged in (and yes it is plugged in correctly) there is no response from my phone. The download screen does not appear. Just remains blank.. I tried the same jig on my friend's gs2 for us cellular and worked there. Is my phone so messed up that the jig will not be recognized?
Also, the jig I ordered has been reported to work fine on the infuse.

Do any devs need a SGS4G?

I've upgraded phones and have a good working SGS4G for any of you devs that need it. Hopefully that will make up for me being cheap and only using the thanks button rather than donating.

I think free is a reasonable price. I'll even cover the shipping. Raver may need the battery. You guys figure out who needs what and let me know

Free is the best price. lol Just a heads up if you don't already know. It's about six dollars to use priority mail flat rate small box to ship it. I've used them a few times for shipping phones and it's been cheap and easy.
Uhh, I wouldn't mind one

If it was mine, I would go to a lower end device forum and offer it to an active dev there. That would give us another dev.

Are you a DEV for the phone? The OP was offering the phone to dev to help better support the phone, not give away a working phone to anyone who broke theres.
It's either RaverXxx or Beastmode... I say : let's set a full working 4.2.2 ROM competition for the jackpot!

USB port

My USB port for my phone is acting up... It does not charge unless I move the USB around to find a spot and leave the phone there without touching it... I only use the USB for charging my phone but what I'm wondering is if this is an issue that will be covered under warranty... If it's not I could buy a wireless charger but is the orb from Google much better than the cheaper products from Amazon... I have heard of wireless charging making ur phone really hot... So Idk...
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
There's no harm in contacting Google/LG to ask whether it's covered or not. Besides that, the charging port can be replaced and doesn't cost much.
You can refer to the Qi Wireless thread in the Accessories section to find a wireless charger. The official one does look great but it's certainly not worth that much IMHO.
So do I contact Google customer support or lg? Now u said it's not hard to replace but is there a video online? I'll have to search I just never knew u can replace just that part... Thanks...
