Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Duos (G9300FD) device with a broken USB port (so I cannot connect by Odin, ADB, etc). I managed to flash a custom ROM (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/rom-galaxy-project-t3792761) by using TWRP (twrp-3.4.0-0-herolte) and an external SD card.
How to upgrade the modem and bootloader to the ones delivered together with the software in TGP_G93xx_XXS7ESL5_v2.12.0.zip? I tried all types of installations (including the custom one) and I cannot find any option that allows me to install a modem / bootloader. I saw the screenshots from the Aroma installer on the first page of this thread, but I cannot see the option to install bootloader / modem while executing the installer.
I also tried to download the bootloader and modem as tar.md5 files (BL_G930FXXS7ESL5_CL15877854_QB28006787_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 and CP_G930FXXS7ESL5_CL1129407_QB14677789_SIGNED.tar.md5), but they are ODIN flashables. And I cannot do anything with Odin, as the USB port is broken. Or at least appears to be broken (charging works) - the device is not discovered even by "lsusb" on Linux (while another Samsung Galaxy S7 device is discovered using the same cable and even I can browse its internal storage from Linux). Can I somehow flash the bootloader and modem using TWRP (twrp-3.4.0-0-herolte) or another way?
Best regards.
Are you willing to take the back off of the phone?
I know that with the S7, you can't properly replace the USB port without removing the screen, which is close to impossible to do without destroying the screen.
However, in your case you don't need to permanently replace the USB port to achieve what you want to achieve.
All you need to do is get the back off the phone, disconnect the broken USB port from the motherboard, and temporarily connect a replacement USB port. The part doesn't need to be properly installed, just connected. Once you've done that, boot into download mode and flash the bootloader and modem.
Edit: if your USB port is accepting a charge but not connecting, it's also possible that the problem is down to a single bent pin in the connector, which can possibly be fixed very carefully with a strong, thin needle. I also wouldn't rule out a bad USB cable, even if another S7 works fine with it. Likewise with the USB ports on your PC, especially if you're using USB 3.0. Try a USB 2.0 port.

My USB doesn't connect to a computer because it is broken some how and only charges. But I was wondering if there was a way to root my Nexus S without a USB cable, my bootloader is unlocked.
I was wondering if I could do it wirelessly or idk. Any suggestions/help?
If you're on the lasted stock (4.0.4) and you don't already have a custom recovery you're screwed.
Nearly impossible without a USB connection since you will need adb to flash at least a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. Have you verified that you have the USB driver installed? Have you tried a different USB cable?
So I have a Galaxy S 4G that I can not get to be recognized by my computer via USB. It charges fine but always get "USB device not recognized". It's on stock froyo and I have tried several cables and computers as well as versions of drivers so I assume it's a faulty usb port on the phone.
I looked at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374
And it seems that it was possible to flash cwm from recovery and then flash a custom kernel that gave root access? But links have been removed and thread closed and replaced by one that requires gingerbread. Does anyone know of any way to root on froyo without usb cable? or have the files that were removed from the thread above?
Any suggestions at all?
Fix your USB port.
try heimdall?
Visit your local library and use a computer there to root. Having fun isn't hard when you got a library card.

Most free-to-the-public computers are so locked down that I doubt he'll be able to get drivers installed.

The ones in smaller towns usually aren't, or their security is easily bypassed with ctrl-alt-delete or similar combinations
thanks for the responses but it seems that I need to clarify that it looks like it's the usb port on the phone that is defective and not the computer. My Galaxy s3 and tab 7.7 connects just fine with odin using same computers and drivers that I can't get to recognize this phone.
And yes I did try heimdall but since the computer does not see the phone heimdall won't either
Nothing else I can do to get root? I would not mind about being stuck on froyo I just need root to install vodoo sound.
^ How do you charge your phone if your USB port is busted?
If it is charging well, then I suspect there is a conflict in drivers.

If the power and ground pins are active, it will charge, but if the data +/- pins arent' connected, you can charge but not transmit data. My USB cord did that to me, will charge, but won't show "usb mode" to connect for usb storage. Thought it was the rom, flashed 4 times, realized the cord must have a break in the VCC+/- wires.
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.
Dear,
My Galaxy S6 SM-G920F with lollipop 5.1.1
AP : G920FXXU2BOG8

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?
Hi,
I've had some problems with my N8010 recently. I reset it and am now finding that the laptop won't recognise USB (comes up as malfunctioned).
It's been rooted.
I can enter ODIN by pressing home and power up and can also access download / install customer OS by pressing home and power down (although it just sticks on "downloading").
Thinking it might be the USB (although the tablet was being charged when it was plugged in) I've tried a few but all have the same problem.
I've tried re-installing drivers via device manager, have tried the USB cable connection error in Kies (that goes very quickly through it's analysis and doesn't fix it).
Given I've done a complete re-set there are only the basic apps on the device (other than SuperSU - although I've done a full unroot).
Any other thoughts as I'm stuck and can't fix the issues.?
Settings:
GT-N8013 (although it is GT-N8010)
Android 4.4.2
Kernel - 3.0.101 Boeffla Kernal 3.0-beta6
Build - Gnabo.Rom.v8
Can anyone help?
