So, my S6 is ****ed.
My USB port doesn't work anymore other than for charging.
I bought this phone second hand (with a warranty) a few months ago and everything was fine.
Since then I flashed the aTerminator ROM (lollipop) and tripped knox.
I copied the tyrannus rom (6.0.1) from my server over wifi and tried flashing it, something went wrong and I've lost TWRP (3.0.2.0) and the phone doesn't boot, I've waited longer than 30 minutes as I know sometimes we have to be patient.
I can reboot to "Download" mode but without any USB connection to a PC I'm stuck.
I have tried 4 different PCs and one Macbook, 5 different USB cables. These PCs and cables work with my neices S7 so I know the drivers are installed and the hardware is ok.
I've ADB on these computers and when I run "adb devices" nothing is listed for the S6 but works for the S7.
Any suggestions from you geniuses?
Thanks
Does Smart switch recognize the phone, have you tried emergency initialization w/ sn?

Thanks for your reply, yes I tried that too but nothing is recognised by the computers.
I guess I have to accept that the USB is dead, so my question is (I'm pretty sure I know the answer), is there any way from the Samsung "Download" mode to do anything with the phone only in the absence of a working USB to send commands or use ODIN?
If not, do you think it would be worth while getting the phone repaired? (I live in Switzerland and everything is expensive here)
I did see a video explaining how to replace the USB card but it requires completely dismantling the phone and I wouldn't be capable of doing this myself.
My G920F's USB port also broke somehow. The phone wasn't being detected by Windows, either in Android or in TWRP. It did charge as well, and Odin detected it in Download mode so I was able to flash stuff. I understand your phone isn't detected by Odin?
I had the USB port replaced in a repair shop, eventually. It cost me about 55 E total. I did repair a few phones over time but I hate working with glued glass phones. It's slow and stressful. I'd rather spend a bit more money to avoid it.
I would replace it if I were you. The new one I got feels much better, stiffer, stronger. I have since heard or read on the web of some s6 and Edge models having problems with the USB port. Maybe the parts were of poor quality. It might break completely eventually. The new port feels better than the old one, even when the phone was new. It was loose and all cables would move in it. Ideally it should have been replaced under warranty, but I tripped Knox as well, and they invalidated my warranty until I replace the mainboard.

Thanks for sharing your story.
Yeah, our difference is that nothing is detected on the computer, including ODIN so I suppose I'll get a quote to see how much it'll cost to replace it here.
Did your repair shop say how long it took them?

It took them 2 days, but they were busy, they told me it could have been done in a day normally.

Silly question but I if I root and I need to do a wrranty claim, can I unroot by restoring the phone or is it rooted for good?
Thanks
From what I have heard...all that you need to do is uninstall the apps that show you rooted (Superuser, Titanium backup, ROM Manager, Busy Box, etc) and delete the update.zip from the SD card and you'll be all set.
I'm not completely sure on this but I THINK that's it.

Does it show the lock on the phone like on the nexus one on boot up if you root it?
the only way to really unroot is to restore your phone using odin3.
this will completely wipe your phone including the os and reinstall it. you'll then have all the att apps if you deleted it. Make sure you keep it connected. I bricked my phone purposely by disconnecting it while it was whipping. There is absolutely no way to get it out of this brick. you'll end up having to get a new phone (all i said to att was i think the usb port went bad lol)

Haha that is one hilarious solution to getting a phone replacement. Did AT&T give you any issues?
Check out the one-click Root Tool in the Dev section. I believe the dev just updated the tool to have a one-click UNROOT option as well.
Nope, didn't give me any issues. The phone was completely bricked with no response to outer source power. Plug in the USB, not even the battery thing shows up. the ATT guy tried 3 different chargers and figured it had to be the USB too. Swapped out phones and he grabbed me a new one straight from the box.
I used to do this a lot back with my iPhone 3G. Not that I like to cheat companies out of their money... I'm definitely not for that. But really, the batteries would degrade an hour less capacity a month so i needed to replace a phone without making it seem like it's the users fault nearly every 3 months.

Sounds exactly what I went through. They had no problems exchanging it either.
After 3 months with Samsung repair they finally agreed their Chinese knockoff 1010 Captivate was faulty and gave me a brand new 1108.
The Samsung repair guy even told me that they had different runs of 1007-1010, half of the batches were Korean parts and built solid, and other runs where it had many Chinese made parts and built hastily.
My 1010 had to be from China town. It had a bad speaker, flimsy power button, flimsy latch on bottom of phone that holds back cover on, it wouldn't stay in place. And the GPS didn't work for squat, which if it wasn't for the fact it sometimes locked onto one sat, I would think there wasn't a GPS chip in that phone at all.
I never dropped my old phone, and it even had a Bodyglove case on it since I got it. And now that I think about it, the old 1010 Captivate battery definitely said Made in China, this 1108 has a battery that says Made in Korea. I'm really happy with this new 1108 Captivate, GPS works great and everything is a lot better.
Anyway, long story short I used Odin3 1-click to flash KH1 and it failed midway through the flash for no reason apparent to me, except that newer phones are specific about how they like to be flashed? I used Odin3 1-click for some other bootloaders and it worked. I read about it before trying anything with this new Captivate and heard that Odin3 was supposed to be OK...
I'm stuck at the brick screen that has the icon Phone--Exclamation Point--PC. Nothing works to get into download mode, USB battery pull, all different button combos and timing with unplugging usb and putting battery in, releasing power button.
I've tried everything but a jig. Is this a known problem with newer captivates that a jig is the only way to unbrick it from the Exclamation Point screen? What if a jig doesn't work? OMG I don't know if Samsung will even talk to me if I try to replace it again.
The screen you see is download mode, just slightly different. Odin should detect it, and you should be able to try flashing again.
No luck, bootloader is gone and for some reason Samsung disabled 3-button. I'd say I'm really lucky the flash didn't stop at another point. I'm gonna need to try a jig.

If Odin doesn't read it then it's back to AT&T. Tell them you accidentally pulled the usb from the computer while you were transferring files. I had the captivate from sept 10 til oct 11. The jig won't work. Its either go to AT&T or send it off for jtag.

Anyway, yesterday I ordered a jig off Amazon Prime overnight and the Lasership guy was delivering it as I was leaving for work 8AM EST. CBA with the 300k resistor cause lining up the pins is a pain, and my hands sweat too much, hyperhydrosis... But dang that was a fast delivery.
And the jig worked too, as I knew it would because 3-button was still rebooting the phone, just not going to DL mode. And the bootloader flash randomly stopping and saying flash failed wasn't completely user error. I should have flashed the individual pda, not used 1-click, but Samsung changed something in the newer captivate batches.
Samsung probably felt like screwing everyone who doesn't use their s**tty touchwiz, that or ATT had a hand in it. Then on top of that the 3-button is disabled.
Of course the jig is still going to work because Samsung isn't going to JTAG everything, they would just rather use a bluebox jig on any phones that came in bricked.

WOW some people can't listen.
And no one said send it to Samsung for a JTAG. There's a guy here on xda that'll do it for $40. Samsung will charge you over $100.
Samsung does not do jtag.. at least not in their service manuals.
I do UnBrickable Mod for $30 + shipping. UBM is far superior to JTAG. You can delete all the bootloaders on your device or replace them with your favorite Justin Beiber MP3 and UnBrickable Mod will still allow you to access download mode.
We put the device into a debug mode where it will accept a memory input from USB rather than booting from a flash.

Sorry if it sounded like I was replying to you, I wasn't. My friends were also telling me "o no! black screen of death, jig won't work, it's bricked for good."
It was just a general statement, it wasn't directed at you. I didn't mean I was going to send it to Samsung to have it unbricked/JTAGed whatever. I meant that Samsung has purposefully made newer of Captivates easier to brick, but they didn't go so far as to make them permanently brick, they didn't disable the jig method.
Samsung knows they will see a lot of those bricked phones come back to them from Asurion/ATT Warranty Repair to turn into refurbs and they don't want to have to crack open every single one to unbrick them, that's why they left the jig method in place.

Dang, that's awesome. I want to get that mod because I have a feeling a bootloader flash will brick the phone again, and I won't be so lucky with a jig next time.
How long after you receive the phone before the mod is done and it's shipped back?

Hi guys
My device spent 15 minutes on a wet patch of grass, embedded in mud though thankfully it had stopped raining. I found it caked in gloop and spent that night cleaning the ports and making it shiny again. It worked fine after until 3 days later (today). Now the USB port appears to have stopped working; it won't charge nor will my PC recognize it. It worked flawlessly before the mud incident.
I have the JellyBelly ROM installed with CWM recovery ... and obviously need to send it in for repair. Good chance Vodafone won't do it under warranty because I'm rooted etc. Plus it's a work phone so I will get told off if I truly voided the warranty!
Can I get the phone back to stock status, either ICS or JB, with a locked bootloader?
Thanks in advance ~ !
Edit: I realise I can unroot and re-lock using USB cable through my Win PC but .... worse case scenario came true & cannot use the USB cable!

Hmm I have two cords, a charger and a USB cable. Neither works all of a sudden and yes, I tried another PC with same result. All my reading seems enforces that a PC connectoin is required to lock the device through fastboot / ADB.
Any other ideas, xda? (and thanks for your reply)
Sometimes if you take for a repair shop that they repair phones they can do it without a problem. I'm not sure if they would mind if it was rooted or not and if you have an unlocked bootloader. All they need to do is change the USB port. I haven't checked but with a friend of mine he has jailbroken his iphone and the power button stopped working and the repair shop accepted it. So, just try but I'm sure they would accept it.

so, i've been researching this all night and i want to get a straightforward answer. is there any way i can root my S3 without using the USB port? the port is busted and doesn't detect anything being plugged in (i have 3 batteries and an external charger, since it won't charge)
basically, i'm coming across some posts from the S2 explaining that you could root that one by simply flashing some SU files etc in recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
can any of this be done with the S3? i was looking into wireless ADB as well, but you def. need root for that, despite the fact i also found someone on the S2 forums who apparnetly had wireless ADB working without root:

i have no idea how he did it, because i def can't.
any thoughts? i'd love to root this thing and just keep it stock (just delete bloatware and make tweaks to stop the launcher redraw) and that's it..not even looking to throw custom roms on it yet.
Honestly I think you are SOL for the time being
well that's not good cmon con, i know you can figure something out lol

I was able to root by flashing an SU zip in CWM. However I was only able to flash CWM thanks to Casual. It wouldn't root me. But did let me install cWM. From there I booted into recovery and was rooted in seconds. With no USB though that makes things tricky. Not sure how you could get CWM on there then. I was able to root my Droid x purely using terminal emulator on the phone and pushing files from the SD card. But that was years ago and i think rooting is a bit different now since it looks like it gets symlinked.

Why don't you just get the phone replace as it is obviously defective?
First remove your battery and you may try to clean your usb plug on your phone by take a toothpick, needle etc.. and wrap a little piece of paper towel around it, soak with Windex or alcohol and scrub all the pins inside of the USB. This works wonder! second recommendation is to try another usb cable. Good luck.

thanks for the responses guys! a few answers:
1.) i literally got this phone for $30 from a customer at my store who ruined it due to said tittysweat. no lie, the woman ran with it in her shirt, and sweat corroded the charge port. i SOMEHWAT fixed it with alch and Deoxit weeks ago, and it would BARELY charge (like maybe half a percent every 3 hours..ridiculous lol) but then after further cleaning, it completely died and doesn't work now.
2.) i've never once had insurance on my lines in all my 16 years with verizon, so i'm not adding it to make a claim, because it's gonna look fishy especially if they see 3 different phones on my acct within weeks
3.) has two TINY cracks in the corners of the phone screen, so i couldn't even get it replaced due to that as well
when i would plug it in when it barely charged, it would go between charging (ac) and just charging. so it was def messed up. i opened up the back to look at it, but i didn't take the entire phone apart yet.
i've got a replacement charge port (was 5 bucks on ebay), problem is i don't have a hot air soldering iron so i can't do it myself and don't have any repair guys near me.
just looking for basic ways to get rooted w/o having the usb port, but it seems to be futile
also for samsung to fix it, the turn around is like 2-4 weeks and i'm sure costs an arm and a leg..whereas i have a few members on here who i could send to and would cost less, and it would take a lot less time than samsung lol

Hello guys. I've sold my note 4 and got a used Galaxy S6, phone had couple of scratches and was in a really good condition. I used it for a month until... I woke up, my battery was at 60-70% but I was going out soon so I plugged it in and my phone started flashing screen white, and I quickly unplugged it. I tried blowing into USB port and it didn't work. Then I plugged it in again and my phone started rebooting randomly and touch buttons stopped working and flashing. Later I took it to official Samsung repair center and they sent It to like a Full/main repair service place. And after a week I got a call from them that they need to replace whole motherboard(which works fine, just USB board is fried) and they said that this phone had modified software and I need to pay 280-320$ to get it fixed.
What's even more funny is that I didn't even root it yet! I paid like 50$ less for the phone with a box and a purchase document. Also the phone is still on warranty until august. What do I do guys?
PS: I always used original USB cable and charger.

If they checked the KNOX bit and it is flipped, then the device is out of warranty. No amount of arguing will change that. Also the warranty doesn't cover devices that have been resold. (Found out that the hard way:crying
You can always go to Samsung Parts to find the piece you need.

Assuming that knox was tripped by previous owner, you really can't fault samsung for rejecting your warranty claim. You knew the risks in buying phones used (as with any secondhand electronics), the previous owner could have tweaked voltage, messed up and sold it. Not trying to upset you, but it is what it is.
Upside is, you no longer have to worry about tripping knox. Flash custom roms as your heart desires. Good luck getting your phone repaired.

Upside is, you no longer have to worry about tripping knox. Flash custom roms as your heart desires. Good luck getting your phone repaired.

Today my phone came back from Samsung and... IT MAGICALLY FIXED ITSELF! Same thing happened with my old Note 3. Now I have Marshmallow installed and I love my S6 again Good thing about Samsung phones : If they're broken, just leave them turned off over night and next day Your phone will be fixed!
