I've got a Motorola Milestone with a broken USB Port, is it possible to get a custom ROM running ?
All Guides I found start with flashing via USB-Connection.
About Phone says: "Firmware-Version: 2.1-update1"
Regarding if you can flash it without the usb connection i don't know but are you sure that the usb connection on your phone are broken? Have you tried different cables, usb ports on the computer or even with another computer?

I bought it on ebay and in the description the broken USB was mentioned, but I hoped the previous owner just had some problems with his/her PC. But on my Laptop with my cable it says nothing, so it seems to be broken.
I guess there's no chance to get a new ROM running.
So now I try to buy another Milestone with a broken display or something else that makes it cheap, because It seems the motherboard with the USB-port is one of the first things when you disassemble it, so it should be easy to change.

Hey guys,
I have 3 USB ports on my laptop. I used to love connecting my TP on this one port until it just recently broken. Then, I tried other USB ports to connect my TP but always get the blue screen on my laptop after I tried to do so. I want to install ICS on it but was unable to do so as my laptop keeps rebooting. Any ideas?
BTW, my TP is running CM7 3.0 and running the ICS ADW theme if that would ever be the problem.
Does the computer do that when you use a different USB device?
If it is only the touchpad, I would say try connecting through webOS and see if that does anything different. Also try turning off USB Debugging in Android so it doesn't try to load the driver.
Sounds like something is shorting out causing the laptop to shut off and reboot as a fail safe. Check to make sure the laptop's USB port is good by trying other devices, also try another microUSB cable. If the issue persists the microUSB connection on the TP could have issues.

Oh, nice! turning off the USB debugging made the trick. Thank you so much.

Seems like USB port is dying.... like on my euro one. It will randomly stop working in some days maybe weeks. Be happy that it still charges. Or the port is dirty dusk etc

This is weird, I though my phone had a complete non funtional usb port because it does not charge or make conection with the pc.
The other day I tried the JIG and it got me to the download screen. So, it seems that my usb port is somehow still working (or something like that).
So, what could be the problem with my USB?

Check if your USB pins are dirty, perhaps clean them even if they don't seem like it (nothing with water!).
If that doesn't work, my guess is that your pins 1-3 are dead and need new USB port.
I have tried different computers, 3 to be exact and once I take out the jig then plug in the cable the pc wont recognize it is even there and so then i cant get Odin working...any suggestions? im reinstalling the samsung captivate drivers soon downloading those now

Do you have correct drivers for this OS?
Are you using original Samsung USB cable?

Yes downloaded the correct Samsung drivers....have ADB installed
Not using original cable but it works to charge through the PC so why would it not be recognized as a device?

Power and data pins are different. The cable may charge your device, but it doesn't guarantee data transfer to work. Many cables use MicroUSB connectors, but no all cables have all pins connected. I have an LG charger that works with no issues on LG phone but can't charge Captivate. In the same time Blackberry charger and USB cable both work fine with Captivate. I have also a generic USB cable that can charge Captivate but doesn't provide data transfer. Original Samsung cable works for charging and data as expected. I think you should try with another USB cable.
ive recently had to replace my usb port in my One, and since replacing the phone charges in all modes fine, but it wont recognise on my PC.
Ive tried several cords and usb ports, also different computers with no avail, anyone have an idea of whats going on?
