Hi everyone,
I have an OP6 with a visibly broken USB port (you can see it's damaged), so I can't connect to the computer for adb debugging or fastboot. Luckily charging still works.
LineageOS 18 is working fine. I'm ordering in a replacement USB flex cable, but I was wondering if there was a way to flash a recovery without using a USB connection? I only have the LOS recovery installed and I would like to install TWRP or another recovery so that I can upgrade to LOS 19 while I'm waiting for the replacement 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?
I have a tf700 with a strange problem. When I plug it into the computer, it reports there is an error in the USB descriptor and doesn't install the drivers. I know the drivers are installed OK because I have a 2nd tf700 that installs fine. I also tried linux with no luck - lsusb reports nothing when I plug it in, but it does find the other tablet fine.
The error occurs in MTP, PTP, debugging option on or off, and fastboot. It charges normally through the port.
I disassembled the nonworking unit and swapped the port/cable assembly but the problem stayed with the tablet. I also reflashed stock from SD using the stock recovery with no effect.
My goal is to get root access and install TWRP. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a way to connect to adb wirelessly without root access or is there an older version of stock I can flash and self-root without a PC?
So it looks like I'm out of luck then?

Hi, I have a problem here, I bough a very, VERY cheap D820 to a guy I met a few days ago, he told me that he was trying to root the phone and he somehow bricked it so he was selling it half priced, anyway, the problem is that I cannot get the phone to be recognized by any PC running Windows OS or Linux based OS. Linux does nothing at all, and windows says "Unknown Device" every time I connect the device.
I downloaded Google drivers, Android SDK Drivers, Universal Naked Drivers and had no luck at all, windows says the best fitting driver is installed allready (Unknown Device). Also there's no OTG detection either. I can only charge the phone but there's no data transfer of any kind, I've even tried with different usb cables with no luck.
I noticed that the device have installed TWRP 3.0.2-0, the OS instaled was Official 4.4.2 and there wasn't any SMS app installed, not even Google Play or any file explorer app so I went to my other phone, downloaded NitrogenOS along with Pico GAPPS, did a full wipe (DATA, DALVIK, CACHE, SYSTEM) and flashed the ROM and GAPPS. The phone booted just fine, there's no issue with the OS, WiFi works very well, also LTE and H+, bluetooth, I mean everything, yet, the problem persist, I cannot get the device to be recognized by any PC.
Can anyone help me? I don't know what to do next.
PS: I can access bootloader and recovery without any issue yet, adb and fastboot doesn't recognize the device even with debugging turned on.
Sounds like the USB flex cable in the phone is damaged.
Tried different USB cables and USB ports?

Yeah, I tried 4 different fully working USB cables (tested them on my Motorola Moto G xt1032), I think the micro USB port on the Nexus its ok because I can charge the phone normally without any problem at all, the issue comes when I try to connect the device to any PC or OTG adapter to transfer files and such.

I believe It's possible that the phone USB flex cable is damaged even though it charges but will not transfer data.
Agree, most likely the USB port. Not a difficult or expensive part to replace.
My Blu Vivo Xl charging port stopped working but i use a universal charger but then the phone got soft bricked so i need to use a Usb to flash it but I can't... Does anyone know a way to flash it without a cable or with just wires? or even update it from stock recovery?
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.
