Im new here and im not sure im in the right spot of the forum so sorry about that if i am......I recently had a kindle and modded it and put cm10 on it. The thing had a flakey usb port, and im just wondering if putting a custom rom on the kindle fire could cause the usb port to fail. I tried using cm9 and it was still doing it. So im just trying to put my mind at ease for when i get my new one in the mail and making sure it wont die like the last one. Also it was from amazon warehouse deals so that be why it had faulty port! thanks for the help in advanced!!!

They have "open enrollment" in total equipment protection starting yesterday, maybe talk to them about that. Buy in, get new or fixed phone.
yea i tried the open enrollment thing but they no longer do repairs like that so i would have to file a claim and sosososo but im doing that on my epic once i get paid but i still want my hero its tha shisnit so ill probably buy the part myself and order it tomorow and see how it goes...theres this spot but they charge 75 plus misc plus taxxxx thanx for the help
my sprint htc hero needs a new motherboard only because the usb is completely damaged from the outside only. It is rooted. Once the new motherboard is in, will I still have root? what should I expect when I turn the phone on for the first time?

You can replace a motherboard but can't handle root?
replacing the motherbord shouldnt affect the actual software so yes im pretty sure you will still be rooted.
to be honest though i would just get a new phone because i know motheboards arnt cheap.
well, I did get a new phone a while ago. got the evo 4g. but this hero just keeps bugging me, so kind of more for fun, I want to give this a go. I already ordered the motherboard on ebay. 30 bucks plus shipping. I saw a video on youtube and replacing it looks fairly simple. It is going to take a couple of weeks for it to get here, but will post back and let you know how it turns out.

No, you will need to root again. The android software is stored of the motherboard. So putting in a new one will be like getting a new phone, minus new parts on the outside.
If the motherboard you bought is used, then whatever the previous user had on it, then that's what you would find. Hope this helps.

ha proved me wrong lol. either way rooting shouldnt be a problem just z4 that bad boy and itll be up and running in no time
ah, that makes sense now. well it is a new motherboard. found two sellers on ebay both of which have a small supply for 30 bucks each. okay so I start over once I have it. many thanks
I know it has been a while, but just to finalize, got this hero working like a charm. changing the mother board was the easy part. the trick was finding the right sprint store that would get msl code and make everything match up between the new mother board and the phone. they have to actually change codes in their data base or you will not get service.
Damn, you should have asked -- I have a couple extra heroes from friends who move on.
wow, thanks. You know it was one of those things that you brake and get some redemption when you fix it.

Hey All,
Recently, somehow, my charge pins on my Dell Streak have broken, I can only charge the device slightly, by pulling out the USB cable halfway. I can see the pin board is sorta like snapped in the middle.
I have a few dilemmas now:
1. This device is under warranty, so I should be able to call up Dell and get it fixed/replaced?
2. I have flashed a custom rom to my Streak 7, does this effect my warranty?
If so, how would I go about flashing the Stock HC rom with nvflash? I've tried a few stock HC roms, with no avail.
Any ideas/help guys?
Thanks,
Dean
depending on your warranty, you may not be able to do anything. if its the dell manufacturer one, you cant do anything because that only covers things such as internals breaking like the audio not working or the soft buttons not working or things like that.. but if you purchased one separately such as through bestbuy (do they even sell the streak7) or frys etc, then use the nvflash to stock guide. they probably will only check for superuser in the app drawer. but just to be sure you can let the battery die completely and show them it doesnt charge. then you should be in business. just be sure not to bring it up.

Hrm, its Dell warranty, so it should be okay? I'm gonna call eventually tell them it isn't charging because the port seems to be stuffed. Hopefully I am able to get it fixed :\
if you can make sure they know it was in no way your fault then your good.

Haha, true! Well it was no way my fault! I treasure my streak like it's my baby! I don't understand how it has broken, but since the charger is crappy, that's probably how it broke
yea mines my baby also lol. but be sure to pull the charger straight out. like dont try to angle it in or out.

Hello XDA Gurus,
I received a new motherboard for my friend's KFHD 7 and put it inside and KFHD booted up fine. A couple hours later I brought it home to Android it and the screen keeps flashing white plus multiple other colors across the screen when I boot it up now??? Please help I do not know what to replace at this time but am willing to fix it. Is it the digitizer?
If it does it before the os loads up ( like as soon as you power it on) I would think to check the connection to the digitized/screen, I'm assuming some sorta microfiber cable like that one I tore through with a screwdriver in a old Motorola phone(was not on purpose xD). If it does it after the initial boot loader logo I'd say something really went wrong with the flash.

Since I posted I have taken the NEW Motherboard out and swapped with one running CM11 and it booted up just fine. No flickering or anything like that. So i would assume it is something wrong with the motherboard itself at this time? Am I wrong? Boots up a displays just fine with other motherboard inside. I kinda hope its the board because they are easier to replace than glass and digitizer. Again any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
