hello good day.
the usb port on my xz premium gave out long ago.
while trying to repair it. i noticed that the FPC connector connecting the the charge port to the pcb was broken off.
TLDR i made my own external charging circuit for the phone and it's working nicely.
but i'm wondering can i somehow flash/root the phone without a usb port?
i'd like to bring a few modifications to the system for better use but so far i haven't found much info.
anyone know any methods of getting it rooted ect?
it has a unlock BL button in settings. so it isnt a locked phone

I have had a UK SII since launch (originally on O2) but rooted and now using CM9.
Ive noticed recently that my charger needed to be wiggled a bit in the port for the phone to start charging.
Now it seems to have gotten worse and now i have to have the plug tilted in the usb port at a certain angle and apply pressure to it for it to start charging. Ive tested with 4 different leads. Connected to my laptop and phone keeps on flicking to usb debugging message so i am presuming the connections in the usb port are faulty.
Ive also cleaned a load of fluff out from it and its still the same.
The phone is just under a year old... so im hoping its covered for a 2 year cover like my old Sony Erricson phone.
Do you think they will repair this fault or make me pay due to excessive wear n tear?
I charge once a day over night, and dont use the port for much else apart from probably undre 20times connected to laptop.
Thanks
did you try the cable with something else than your phone? It looks like it's probably some broken part of the cable inside, but try anyway.
If it works fine with everything else it's your phone, if doesn't work with other things it's the cable and i'm not sure if they would replace it, because it could be your fault if it's the cable.

As I described above... i have tested the phone with 4 different usb cables/chargers.
Here is my case, I am now on stock 4.1.1
When I connect my nexus to my PC, it only charges. I can neither mount USB storage nor attaching to debug mode. What even worse is that, I can't even run fastboot command in bootloader, so basically I can't flash a custom recovery.
As a result, I am now stuck on stock ROM.
Can anyone please give me an idea to get my USB driver work, or at least to flash a recovery?
EDIT: I have used fast charge before, so will it screwed up or disable the USB driver? Any way to restore it in my case?
EDIT: Solved. The two USB line charges only
Can anyone help me?
I have tried two USB lines with two PCs, so I do think there is a problem of my phone.

Hello barrielui,
would you describe more information how you solved that issue? What do you exactly mean by last line? It's working only for "charging" or for data transfer (mass_storage) too? You've found new type of USB cabel or what?
Unfortunately have the exactly same issue few days after upgrade to JLB 4.1.1 stock Rom. It works properly few days and than from some reason something happen, but don't know what&why and how to fix it.
Think maybe it's a hardware problem, but how it happened is mystery
I had issues with my usb for a while myself, it just kept getting worse until I would not get a charge at all. Your issue may be different than mine, but I had my nexus s the first week it came out. I had already planned to have my phone sent in for repair on my usb, so I figured I could tinker with it. It turns out that the little tab in my charge port was pushed down (away from the screen when holding in hand) just enough that it would barely make contact with my micro usb cables. I used a tac and slipped it in between and carefully pried up a little.
Caution, this may not be your problem, look at other options, or compare your usb port to another phone to determine if it is it. My tab was just barely gaped from the bottom.
Solution
Try cleaning the Nexus port pins with something pointy...deposits on pins inside cellphone port prevents the usb contact..clean it one by one with a pin and tell me if it worked

It was a hardware issue with USB connector on motherboard on my case, but strange is that it was occurred when flashing to newer system.
Hey guys,
First of all:
1. I've rooted my phone since the beginning of having my phone.
2. I always pull the cord fairly hard out of my charging port.
So I rooted my mobile to use specific apps. Never have I overclocked my device.
After a bit more than a year my phone stopped seeing my pc when attached. And after a few months my phone completely stopped fast charging
I started by cleaning out my usb port. After that I did a hard reset... still didn't work so I tought it might be my charging port. So I orderd a the part and replaced the port. The part includes a jack, buttons and usb port.
Just replaced it and STILL IT DOESN'T WANT TO QUICKCHARGE OR RECOGNISE MY COMPUTER!!!
Ive tried multiple chargers, cables, computers, hardreset, cleaning and replacing my Galaxy s6 daughter board!!!
What could lead to this problem???? Any help would be much appreciated.
Would you guys have any idea how to flash stock rom on the device without getting it recognized by the computer?
I still have the stock rom on it but I think it is a software issue... :crying:
Hey guys, I've had my HTC u11 since release, from Canada.
Believe I have a faulty USB c port
When I connect my charger it doesn't fast charge.
When I connect the dongle it doesn't get recognized
When I connect the sonic ear phones it's very low volume on the left ear.
And doesn't connect to PC. It gives "device is malfunctioning" error
I've tried cleaning the port
Tried different chargers, cables
Factory reset
So probably have to send it for warranty
The thing is I have bootloader unlocked. It's stock rom. Since I can't connect to USB not able to fastboot
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Unlocked bootloader doesn't break warranty but flashing roms does.
Have you made sure you've got all the dust and fluff out of the port with a pin?
Have you tried multiple USB-C cables? Hopefully it is just a worn cable and a new one will remedy your issues.
Thank you so much for your responses.
I have tried different cables, power adapters. Tried in Friends houses in case I had bad house electrical wiring lol
Nothing worked
First step was cleaned the USB c port carefully and thoroughly.
I'm quite certain it's a faulty USB pcd board.
I'm just worried as their warranty excludes "unlocked bootloader" even though they initially advertise it wouldnt void it. I have webarchive of the ad so if they try to deny warranty I will pull that card
But I essentially want to avoid any argument when they have pocession of my phone.
There's a post about experience people have had with warranty. I'll have a read at that.
But if someone who's in Canada sent their phone unlocked and had no issues please let me know!!
Is there no way to lock bootloader without hooking up to PC?

Having a few issues with an s7, charge port has been replaced (twice as I sent one back thinking that was at fault), charges wirelessly ok but not wired, now I need the wired to connect to pc to restore the phone through Odin.
Any clues, starting to wonder if it's the main board at fault, any wireless methods for connecting and using Odin, phone has a tied account and the gmail acount it's tied to is not known hence needing wired connection to use Odin.
Tried many chargers and cables.
Thanks in advance
mmm i am not sure, but my s7 looks like having the same issue.
tryed to use different cables and restore factory settings. did not work.
so the only way is use external sd card
Currently facing the same issue, but i think i messed with my charging port quite a bit. Now, i can only charge my phone using wireless charging, and i can only transfer files using the external SD card. :/
Very Sad,,,,,, I still have not tried sending it in for repair as i fear that it wont be waterproof anymore. Dont want to risk it.

Do you have any idea about how to make root without cable? I have tried all the one click apps
mmm i wonder, may you tried to install supersu or anything like that trough the default recovery mode? and then install twrp with the app?
open the back cover look on the left under the board there is a connector that plugs in from the usb .
it plugs in from bottom up

Yep that plug just near the antenna and home button flex is firmly home.
Then the only thing I can think of , is hardware problem , you need to replace the USB pin.
( Did you try the old needle in the charging pin trick to remove any dirt inside )
Replaced the charge port flexes which include the usb header twice now.
You say you've tried many chargers and cables, but have you tried a new Genuine Samsung USB cable? I've seen many people on XDA having problems with cheap 3rd party cables when Genuine works fine
