Went and bought this hub for 5 dollars. Tried sending flashcast to my chromecast already and its not communicating which i figured. So if i mod the cable will that work or do I need a otg cable.
To buy an otg cable that was made and works is about the same cost, how ever if you are like me and enjoy the challenge of diy then if you rewrite the hub the same as the required otg then there is no reason it can't.
Just need a bit of time a little skill with soldering iron and creativity and a little luck and it should work.
Disclaimer - there is always the chance that modifying or altering anything for any reason our side of what was originally intended, you could let the smoke out of those little parts and they don't work well with out that magic smoke
Does your chromecast have a vulnerable bootloader?

I need to replace htc kaiser (Kaiser 130 if this matter) usb but i dont know USB product code. Can someone post it here?
Thanks in advance!
If you mean the USB port on the bottom of the handset, it is part of the flex cable and cannot be bought separately. Flex cables are usually less than $100US.

Indeed it can be replaced. It's a part made by a Taiwanese connector manufacturer Acon (www.acon.com) and if you look on the service manual (accessible through links on the wiki) page 92 shows the connector as Con5 and part no MJE21-11K7P20. Good luck finding someone to supply it but your countries agents for Acon may be a place to start. There are also companies that offer a USB socket replacement service where they do all the work as well as supply the part. Search the USB port failure related threads here for details as their name escapes me.
i have been using my motorola razr charger on my tilt and now its loose and wont charge right, my oem tilt charger still works. anyone else experience this?
can someone post on how easy it was for them to replace the miniusb?
just need to solder it on..its quite easy
easy? for newbies is quite harder with no skills I sugest to you do not do this because you can brick your pda.

Hi,
I don't know where's re located, but many people in the US had very good experience with some companies specialised in PDA reparation. You may want to make a forum search for "broken usb" or similar.
can someone please post on their experience and where is the best place to get the USB connector for the att Tilt, possibly post a tutorial or youtube video on how to do it?
my solution!
hi from germany,
actually i had the same problem with the kaiser a few weeks ago and i searched the whole internet for the usb connector in order to replace my broken one. NO CHANCE!
I call HTC Germany and HTC USA and they were not able to tell me the specifications of the connector. One thing i can say for sure. HTC is NOT! using a standardized USB connector as it is built in other devices (nokia n95, motorola razr etc.).
My solution was: I ordere a display-damaged HTC Tytn 1 and gave it to an electrician who did his job well. He replaced my Kaiser USB connector.
Pretty annyoing, but it worked for me.
Much success to you1
Does anyone know how to initiate a JTAG with out the riff box. Im more than capable of jtaging and have tons of tools as I am an electrical engineering student. Im not getting definitive answers from people online they all want me to send the my phone and $50 to them. I know you can get RIFF software from theyre site but I wont pay $150 for the RIFF box.
adam oulter has also suggested this is possible in a thread but he never tried it. he seems to have an idea of what you need. like a computer with a parallel port and software but i think he is trying to avoid the need to try it untill he has a way to force download mode and flash the normal way even with bad bootloaders or param.ifs. that is what he is actively developing and he wants the jtag to be a backup, and the riffbox service from connexion is a backup for his backup.
re:
I spoke with someone from mobile tech videos on youtube about jtagging with out RIFF he said "ORT Tool or maybe the SPT box but both require the same level of soldering. I must warn you though, the Captivate is most likely harder to solder than anything you have ever done. It's pads are .1mm in size and spacing and I know many electrical engineers that consider it extremely challenging." Im just freaking out because my baby (captivate) is dead. Maybe Ill just go play dumb at AT&T or blame it on KIES since Ive seen people say the bricked the bootloader with kies
if the phone doesnt boot they cant prove anything.
Dont blame it on keis. none of the keis updates touch bootloaders. so this should not happen. dont blame bootloaders at all.
ALL YOU SAY "it stopped working. i woke up, it was dead"
THATS ALL YOU NEED TO SAY.

That about sums it up... however we are exploring UART, I2C, Serial, USB, and all other methods of communications supported by the Application processor... maybe even tunnling though the call processor into the application processor... Basically, if we can get something into memory and then tell the processor to execute that code, we'd be in business.
There's about 25 total external pins available on the phone, two of which we believe make up the "EXT-I2C" bus. This would allow almost direct communication with the Application Processor and OneNand. .... Gotta find those pins.
There's nearly 20 test-points on the main-board inside the phone... 5 of those testpoints are likely the "OM" pins. If we can locate and apply 3.7VDC to OM5, then we can get the memory value OM=9 to change to OM=10+ which would allow booting from the external MMC card.
Research still needs to be done and the single diagnostic output we have located thus far is UART which uses the USB port... 619kohm resistor between pins 4-5, and read/write to D+ and D- on the USB port.
All of these things need help. You can help with your brick. Bricks will put out UART communications.

You can contact Connexion2005. He can JTAG your phone. it's been made easy now because I located the proper jacks and recepticals, and had a couple of receptical circuitboards made for JTAG.
Just to clarify...... my definition of brick...
1. black screen
2. unresponsive to buttons or button combos
3. appears to operate equally with or without the battery
4. 301Kohm resistor between USB pins 4-5 is not effective
If it does not meet those qualifications, then it's not really bricked. it just needs to have software reloaded.
Im gonna give the jig a whirl just in case. i think I got a waranty on my phone so if jig dont work I may just tell ATT its stolen, get a new one and use the old one for testing. Ill post results of the jig afterwards. Can I just use a micro usb wall plug for jig, I only got 1 USB-micro cable and I aint cutting it lol.
Which jig? Usb or uart?
I tried to just use resistors only and I had 270k and 39k ohms which reads 298.8k on my DMM and on mobile tech videos he said he did it with 295k so it should work......but it didnt. Ripped apart my ONLY micro usb cable cable tried to touch the leads to the resistors......nothing ://....soldering Iron is warming up gotta make sure leads are solid.
Well I guess its off to AT&T lol cuz it aint doin nothin right now. Its $125 deductible If i say i lost it so no candidate for a lab rat. Now i gotta rock this busted old cracked screen samsung solstice til I get my new one. I appreciate your help immensely guys, this is why I love this community.
The RIFF will run you closer to $225 after shipping as it's all overseas and they only ship with big carriers and ground shipping.
I've been pricing them at $190 on ebay.

This is true if you can find the parcel post China sellers. Good luck if you ever need support though or a return! There are definitely some defective boxes floating around that will have you pulling out your hair until your realize it's a RIFF hardware defect. One of my boxes I believe has an issue with i897 ressurection and has me thinking it's why I was successful on the the i897 I did a few days back.

I have a captivate board that you can have if you want it. I believe that it is softbricked. Though due to the busted screen I can't say for sure. I have a T959D screen that doesn't have a board which I have dremeled here and there to be able to accept the captivate board which you can have too.
If you can cover shipping it's yours or if I pay shipping could you help me with unbricking my SGH-I727R. I bricked it during a failed ODIN flashing of clockworkmod. For some reason the partition box got auto ticked the second time by the time I stopped my wide eyed loud inhale "OHHH NOO" it was all over.
I can get QHUSB mode. At least I was able to until the USB gave out. I had another USB board but it came from a corroded phone and during the cleaning I knocked off two resistors. I salvaged the same two resistors I knocked off from a the broken board. The person I got the phone from somehow managed to melt the USB cable to the phone, how this was achieved I haven't a clue.
Anyway I haven't gotten around to soldering the resistors to the board yet, I was waiting for a new soldering iron to come come in. It did the other day and I have to pick it up. Sorry for the rambling if you would like the captivate board to play with and or the T959D's screen let me know and we can arrange shipping etc...Thanks
I think my micro usb port is broken beacsue when i try to connect my phone to the pc i phone make a sound that it is now changing but i dont see it pop up on my computer. I wanted to replace the part but i was wondering since the AT&T and T moble version are about he same with out the whole "lte" can i use this board to replace with the At&t board?
This is what i was gonna buy:

"Samsung Galaxy Note i717 Micro USB Slot USB Microphone Mic Charger Charging Port Dock Connector Flex Cable Ribbon REV1.0 Replacement For Samsung Galaxy Note i717"
That is not even a sgh-t999 /sgs s3 device's board.
I have the same problem mine isnt charging. but from what I have seen the "port" is on the main board and is not an easy fix, unless your skilled in soldering. [heres where my nasa soldering skills come in handy]
Would also like some direction as to where/what to buy....

wont be here till june sometime because its coming from hong kong... but I can wait..had the best price..Hope it dont bite me in the a$$...
Edit 2:
I stopped at one of those screen repair shops that have poped up at our local mall, just to ask if they do port repairs...He pulled out an S3 main board with the conector on it. From what I could tell I did get the correct part. It will be interesting to say the least to get it off and replaced. Will update after I get my part next month. At least knowing what I am up against is a relief.
from what i researched the att & t-moble version are identical, only that the Att&t version can get lte but i took my phone apart and the boards are the same, so ima give it a try.

My nexus 6's charging port doesn't work so I only use wireless now
So I was messing around with theming my nexus and it started crashing and shutting down over and over again so I gave up on undoing it and went straight to recovery but when I was pressing the buttons in TWRP I fat fingered Internal Storage and wiped everything off of my SD Card.
So can I use TWRP's terminal to wireless ADB and flash a new rom onto it, is there another way to save my Nexus, or should I just give up and get a new phone?
I would say your best bet would be to fix the charging port.
Have you attempted the toothpick trick? It’s already broke so you really can’t do any more damage.
You can also buy a brand new charging port on eBay for $5, though I must admit I’ve never attempted that replacement on a nexus 6 so I can’t speak as to how hard or easy that is.
I suspect that changing the port will be hard. It is soldered to the motherboard, and soldering a phone requires special knowledge and tools.

Its very easy to solder and its pretty cheap to buy one. You can get a soldering iron from walmart.
I have a Razer Phone 2 with the infamous non-working USB C port. There seems to be very little supply for the board itself unless it's a used part and those seem to be farelt expensive. Looking at a teardown video of the phone it looks as though the port itself is attached to a flimsy ribbon type cable attachment. If anyone has any experience with this specific part could you please tell me if there are solder points that could be either reconnected or replaced with a completely new port without replacing the whole board? A friend of mine has a a fair bit of know how when it comes to doing repairs of this sort, but I'd hate to take it apart to try and replace the port it self and risk damaging the seal of the device for no reason at all if this procedure is not even possible without a replacement of the full part. Thank you in advance for any replies. I know this question might be a long shot, but we are just trying to weigh our options and figured someone on here might have the experience to point us in the right direction.

I have the same problem. And since sending it back to Razer( don't get me started on how much there customer support sucks!) would cost more than buying a used phone 2. I am thinking to replace the port. Did you have any luck?
I work in a repair shop where I get these from time to time. You can try a used charge port board, but that doesn't always fix it and that seems to be a temporary fix. I have yet to find the root cause of the charging bootloop on the nearly dozen rp2's I have
