Have you tried a factory reset?
Try a new sd card?

yes i have... and still the same thing... i even tried uninstalling the usb drive port on my laptop and still nothing

Check for water damage
check if it is water damaged, if the water damage indicator is missing then it probably was water damaged, if that's the case its a bad port, it will never work. You can also open it and look for corrosion, but more than likely your out of luck if its a bad port, its happened to me twice.

Nope no water damage but the phone was dusty as Hell...

SD Corrupted?

Hello all, today out of nowhere my phone had a status notification that said my SD was blank. Checked in astro, no files. Checked in about phone, nothing. Pulled SD twice and that didn't work. Went into recovery and tried to format and it skipped formatting so I'm not sure what I have here. I recently got another TB from VZW (1 week ago) cause my other one had an earphone jack problem so maybe its the phone? Or is the SD corrupted? Thanx for your help

When you hook it up to your computer, does it show anything on the card there?
Haha I guess no one wants to help or?

I'm going to try that very shortly...unfortunately I don't have a cars reader to format...however when I went to radioshack to get another and put it in, it didn't recognize the SD either which leads me to believe its the phone

What about when you hook up the phone to the PC and put it in "disk drive" mode?
There was no option for that, just charge, internet pass through and HTC sync. After awhile though it seemed to recognize my SD and let me access it for a short while, then it happened again...I ordered a new one. It's coming today

USB won't connect.

Hey everyone,
I have been having troubles connecting my phone to my computer through USB. I used to have to push the micro USB cord to the side for the computer to recognize it. Now my computer will not recognize my phone at all, but charging through the USB connection works fine. Is there anything that I can try to get my computer to recognize my phone? (I have the drivers and have connected it to the computer successfully in the past) and if there is no fix, then will warenty cover it? I have had this since late October. I am running galnet miui if that helps.
Thanks,

My suggestion is to try another cable. USB cables can be real finicky. Or try a different USB port on the computer.

Thanks,
About how much was the replacement cost for you? I just want to get a rough idea.

I did not replace anything - I just cleaned the port and all was good again.
Oddly enough - today it started acting up again. Going to try cleaning it again, if that does not work its time to get it exchanged under warranty.

USB Help is needed ***tough puzzle to solve**

When I connect my Samsung Vibrant to the computer it says unknown device can't connect. Under device manger 2 USB have erros.But the phone will charge. This is a list of stuff I tryed so far, but have had no luck to fix the issue.
THE LIST
I tryed to connect to 3 other computers -same result-unknown device
I have tryed 3 USB cords(The all been tested and working)
Made sure USB settings were check and says ask on connection
Uninstall Samsung drivers off the computer. Reinstalled new drivers from Samsung web site.- no luck
I have uninstalled drivers and installed Samsung kies with drivers- No luck
I have uninstalled all Samsung drivers,all USB drivers,powered down the computer and unplugged it for 2 min to reset devices . After reboot and tryed to connect. Still says unknown device, failed to connect.
I tryed to reflash a Rom through CWM. With the new rom it Still the same, unknown device.Failed to connect
I have reformatted the external SD card..still no luck.
I have deleted clockwork mod folder. Reinstalled CWM.- No luck
I even ran windows fix it on the USB.
I have unstalled Microsoft essential antivirus off my computer -thinking it was blocking it.- No luck
I went as far as disabled firewall - no change

try different USB cable
I think you said you did this but make sure usb debugging is enabled. Go to settings, click applications and then click development and make sure usb debugging is checked. You have done everything I would recommend doing. I used to have the same exact issue. My phone would charge but I could not connect to the computer, my friends vibrant connected fine though (weird).What fixed it for me was a new usb cable from the tmobile store, it costs around $15. They have a 30 day return policy, if it doesn't work you can just take it back. I was really close to replacing my usb port on my phone but I figured I would try a cable from tmobile first and it worked thankfully. If a new cable doesn't fix it then you may have to replace your usb port unfortunately. I recommend www.mobiletechvideos.com if you end up having to replace your usb port, good luck.

I also have multiple usb cables but the only one that works is the cable from the tmobile store. All four of my other cables work fine on my friends vibrant too. Like I said in the post above yours, you can always take it back if it doesn't work either. If that's the case then you could try cleaning your phone's usb port with a Qtip and some isopropyl alcohol.

What ROMs did you try flashing?
Does your pc recognizes your mobile connected when in recovery... you have tried almost all possibilities so i have no idea... You can try flashing stock rom and then format(factory reset) whole device...

It's called JFD. If your phone is detected in download mode then you can use this software to return to stock - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509

[Q] no signal after USB por replacement!!!!!!!!!! weird

Hello guys I need some help and wiil organize the info as best as I can
Origin: started getting a msg saying "voltage to high,charging paused" when the phone wasnt even charging!! after a little drop of water in usb port. Phone would also turn on by itself.
Have done: bought 3 new USB ports buy none worked properly, they fixed the problem with the usb port but then I cant connect to tmobile service, phone does recognize the sim and when I do a network scan it does find at&t but not tmobile. Its like I loose a band.
Flashed a different firmware and baseband. Currently on XWLPT kernel and XXLQ6 baseban and still no luck.
As soon as I change to the old USB board I get instant service with tmobile :s
REPLACEMENT PARTS: USB boards two rev2.2 and one rev2.1
Please advice, I dont understand whats going on :s
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP
What is the small round dome fixing for on the board.A wire goes on it-would it be for the antenna.

Yeah, i guess it is but I hook it up in all of the board equally though. And still no luck with the new ones :s
There has been twice as much people on here saying that after changing board something doesnt work-than people saying it works ok.
People must be selling faulty stuff.

Yeah at first I thought that but then I bought 3 and all 3 gave me the same issue, so now I dont know what to think. :s
Only thing you could maybe try is change the usb only.Looks like its just 4 blobs of solder shaped in a square that holds it in.

Hey Handale30, did you ever get it fixed? If so, what worked for you?
I have the same issue but with a GT-N7000, I swapped out the USB charge port board. After the change, I get good signal and the it slowly dies and then it's back again.

ZTE lever model is z936l

The phone won't turn on anymore, tried soft reset, and hard reset. Have not tried hooking up to computer but they say that it won't recognize since not on. Any ideas on what the problem is, how to fix, and a good pace to buy parts

You can find a motherboard on eBay for about 85 then switch the motherboards out. Or you can buy a used zte and use your current one for spare parts.
You think it's the motherboard

Did you try rooting it. Or did it get wet.
It won't even turn on....it just stopped working

You could try refluxing the motherboard. But I can't guarantee anything with that but its worth a try.

I could but would it be worth just buying a new one?

Probably. Bit it still wouldn't hurt to try to reflux the motherboard. You can't do anymore damage to it. Since it won't boot.
