I wonder if the good piece that brings the load port my phone is the same as the i9100 as it hurt me and I can not find the original in my country Venezuela.
I get the piece is that of 9100 brings the microphone and charging port hopefully help me with my question
If you search eBay for i777 usb flex cable, you get none.
But if you search for i727 usb flex cable (which is certainly different), you get results.
It leads me to believe that i777 and i9100 usb flex cables are the same.

Well this sucks. I just got my PCB http://www.ebay.com/itm/230831019596?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Looks like it did nothing when plugged ... when I did a google search for i777 flex cable I'm seeing some listings saying "lower voltage" ... I'm wondering even though they are identical that there's subtle differences on the PCB (I noticed two chips looked identical but had different numbers).
So, since it didn't work and I already ripped the old USB port off the PCB that desoldering the port from this one would be more hassle than it's worth ... might as well get the official i777 pcb for $35+ or whatever ...
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-II-SGH-I777-GT-I9100/dp/B007T4EEDE/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt
This says "I777 and I9100", which means it's the same. And one of the reviewers says that it fits his I777.
Strange.
I bought a replacement for my i777 and used an i9100 part, if you open up your phone and look at the part number on your stock flex cable, you'll see it's for the gt-9100

Yeah, this really sucks because now what I've done was replace 2 of the chips and 2 heatsinks from my old PCB onto the "new" PCB I got from the eBay I listed.
Still nothing ... I'm starting to think it's just a bad batch being sold.
Could someone show me a link where they got THEIR replacement i9100 flexcable PCB and used on their i777??? Because, like I said I feel now it's probably supposed to work but I just don't trust that seller now.
For the record I'm using my old HTC Aria until this pans out...... so sad.

Awesome. Ordered. I'm hoping this isn't a diminishing return situation but it SHOULD work because without the USB attached my original PCB works and the phone behaves normally. I figured there was a short in the actual port which prompted me to get a whole PCB ... but since i yanked it off the leads are damaged.
Thanks again. Will report back when it arrives.

Where do I get the part INSIDE THE PHONE that the usb plugs into? I took apart my phone to find it's removable. a brand new usb cable stopped working, my other cable won't charge it either...
if I can't get this part then my $600 phone is a god damn paper weight.. I can replace and refurbish the part myself. I'm 99% sure I need to buy a new phone now, just because this part will be impossible to find..

I have recently taken apart my evo 3d and while prying the plastic off, i hit one of the ribbon connectors and took a small chunk out of this. I know it has to do with the touch part of my screen, as a small portion of it doesnt work properly. Im curious if i can buy a new one and replace it myself, because obviously my warranty is void now cuz i took the screws out.
I highlighted the section that i screwed up in this picture http://imgur.com/qYLw2
There is no way you can replace that ribbon/connector by yourself. You would need a microscope and some very expensive equipment to get it unsoldered and re-soldered.

Actually, I hate to go against the grain here but..... That ribbon cable looks extremely easy to replace.
Look at this video and see just how easy it is.

Its not soldered in. Just clips holding it in.
I don't know where you'd find one but it should not be that hard. do some searching. even try ebay for a parts phone.
Good luck.

Hello everyone. My charger port is somewhat broken... If I move it around and keep it at one spot it'll charge. I haven't really tried cleaning it or taking it apart yet as I don't have the tools. I've looked around on these forms and saw that there is a white version charger port and a black one? I also saw that the average price is around 18$ for the part.
Is it possible to repair the port with solder or something?
Appreciate the help!

If you're industry certified for soldering, I'd say go for it. I was at one point but I wouldn't attempt it as the contacts are super small. As for the part I don't know, I have a board bookmarked on my pc, and when I get back to it I'll check to see if it'll work for the black one. Have you rang up Sammy to see if it's something warranty will cover?
here's the board I have bookmarked. I haven't purchased from this company nor am I sure this will work, I was going to purchase it for a project that I haven't started.

Hey everyone. I fixed it by just replacing it. I found one for 14$ free shipping. One think I wanted to mention. When I looked at the broken part, the only thing that was wrong was the inside of the jack had destroyed contacts. The other pieces to the part was fine. So moral of the story is, do not use super snug cables like I did. I'm going to try to make new contacts in the broken one but its very small. Ill probably break it but whatever.

Use the stock charger and cable....and if you dont have one, buy one.
They are sized properly for the device, where aftermarket cables are not....g
I had a similar issue with an after market usb cable that fits too snug. I ended up using a dremel to flatten the two tabs and voila, no more having to tug the wire out
I know a few people have pulled theirs off on purpose. My puppy chewed mine off and it irritates me not being there now. I had been looking to replace it and found this:

That is the only site I have ever seen that sells it. I looked a couple days ago and they didn't even have it in stock, looks like it's back now though. 18 dollars for shipping is kinda ridiculous if you ask me though.

If you want it bad enough.... I ripped mine off cause it was falling off anyway
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I'd say it's not worth it at any price. It's just going to fall off again. Pretty much everyone I've known with one whether they liked it or hated it it still fell off soon or didn't function well anyway.
I always try to play nice with my phones. I hated that cover from day one but as always played nice (didn't rip or cut it off) but the day it fell off, I picked it up and put it in original box I also kept. My HTC incredible 1 and my HTC thunderbolt both made it till next upgrade with out that cover. Reminds me of those port covers on the older dumb phones that never really had a purpose but to make the port weaken over time, then go bad and phone quit charging. Not worth replacing at any price. But good luck to you if you really feel you need one!

I bought a used Employee Edition DNA and the owner ripped off the USB cover and did not mention it...
That site was the only one I found as well, and at first it was OOS but when it came back that shipping definitely killed it for me. Granted, it is shipping from Korea I believe, but it isn't worth it to buy a black USB cover... if it was Red I might have just sucked it up...
They may fall off "easily", but I have no use for the USB port right now anyway since I'm using a wireless charger... there are always ways to work around the USB cable to transfer files as well. Not sure why so many people look down on people who want to keep their flap intact...

I agree that it does get in the way... so much in fact that I did not want to use a DNA until I got a wireless charger =\
I'm just a bit OCD with my phones and given that the back is red, and then there's a sudden black break along the bottom with the missing USB door... just looks off to me.

I wonder why even replacement DNA Body kits do not include the USB door either...

It may depend on how you rip it out. Mine was already removed, but it seems to be cut and the rubber end in the phone is staying put and does not make any noise. I'd take your cover if you do get rid of it though

I would like to know if it really does keep water out as well, it says the phone is water resistant, but could that little plastic piece really hold back anything? FYI mine has been taken off as well so annoying to use i just said screw it and ripped it off one day. Haven't looked back since
For those of you that have replaced this rubber port cover, how easy/difficult was this process?
To replace the cover, you have to take off the entire back. The little port cover isn't held on by anything though, it just sits between the phone and the plastic backing. Unless you're an expert at taking unibody phones apart, it's not worth it because I broke the waterproof seal strip during the process. It was glued on.
Looks like you can get one for $6.80 here w/ free shipping

Hey guys, I traded my S3 earlier this spring for my S3. Was too pumped to notice the phone was beat up a little. There is a small crack off the side of the phone into the chrome on the side. and one of the corners is missing a little chrome. Frustrates me because I was told I could still be under warranty if it wasn't for these things.
My Problem is this:
My phone works with one pair of headphones, my skullcandies, but won't work with any other headphones i've tried. Also It went from working with my aux. cord in my car to no longer recognizing it. Is there anything I can try? Can that part be replaced? Will samsung cover it under warranty even if the screen has a small crack on the side?

If you've never done work in micro electronics be very very very very VERY careful. You can but the contacts off the MoBo in an instant and they're a ***** to replace and some you can replace.
If you have done micro electronics soldering it isn't that hard to replace the AUX port, that's one of the easier ones for me. Just remember to put some kind of heatsink near where you are soldering on the MoBo, alligator clips work great on this stuff as long as you don't slide them around, to keep it from overheating.
