Hello, I am really in need of help.
I purchased my Galaxy Player 4.2 (YP-GI1) back in November of 2012, and lately the microUSB port has become very loose. It is very unpredictable, and on many occasions will not even charge:crying:
I am in dire need of advice, or any help that could solve my problem.
(I'm new to xda-developers and hope that someone could help me out)
just give it in for warranty...
I dont know how the US does about it but in EU you definitely get either a repair or a new device when there are hardware errors...

Same question from me. I have the USB jig for the SG2 and wonder if it works and will reset the binary counter on the tab?
I have the Samsung TAB USB-adapter but I need an additional male USB-female micosub adapter to try the USB jig out, and before I do try to find one I wonder if someone has tried it?

Hey man, it's sad what happened to your tab, but it's getting annoying to see you make so many different posts revolving aroung the very same issue...
Just my thoughts dude...just ask how much is worth to repair it! Maybe the price is ok!!

Hey, well I would LOVE to have someone else repair it for me but I can't, I called samsung they wont take it because the unit is from USA, i can't send it to USA because I am not a US resident, I can't send it to Service Absolute (even using my own money) becuase they don't repair non-canadian units... So what can I do?
Flip it on Craigslist?
EDIT, nevermind, I misunderstood the question.
Great Question

I was reading this thread and I have been looking for the same answer for my Note 10.1 2014 edition. USB Jig without seeing the tech explanation and drawing upon my own technical experience clears some memory locations in flash binary that hold values for tracking flashing, maybe the boot loader and some other values. If I could see or find the tech manuals I might get a better understanding. However, this USB Jig is a technician tool of convenience and necessity to gain access and repair electronic equipment. Basically, it shuns or shorts across two pins in the USB with a load (resistors) so it isn't out of control short and manages the amount of juice or some electricity to clear those registers and reset the electronic device safely. The real technical question are all Samsung electronic circuits in phones and tablets access the same way, or is there a different pin configuration to be used, or a different sequence of steps to prep or follow up with, or almost finally can't work as the USB doesn't access the same parts of the electronic circuit. Lastly, if an experiment is done to just go ahead and use the USB Jig. Will it be a harmless attempt or will using the USB jig damage the circuits in the device? The last question is a show stopper, Dirty Harry type of question. Did you get an answer yet by experiment or by someone passing on the answer from their experience. Someone knows this answer and I am going to have it. This is how open source, crowd sourcing works.
BTW you question is valid one as now that Samsung Tablets are all on USB and people are going to continue to want to experiment with ROMS and modifications. So this answer will need to be answered in the near future. Samsung benefits from their products ability to be hacked and modified as this one of the consumer draws to buy. However, now Samsung is gaining more and more commercial success they may attempt to limit this activity. The downside for Samsung is that they end of having to respond to experiments gone bad, bad business for them. So hence their service attention to the flash binary "got ya trap and take a penalty, warranty voided", to limit those activities.

Hi ,
My galaxy S2 is have a problem .... whenever i connect it to a power out / computer the power supply starts fluctuating because of which i cannot use my usb port on my phone to charge so i take out the batter and charge it with an external charger.
Is there any way i can root my phone without connecting it to my computer ?
And one more thing is there anyway i can get my USB port to work ?
I bought this phone when i was in USA but after i shifted back to India this problem started occurring.
The service center people cannot repair or replace it as its the USA version and not the International version.Some parts of International version are not compatible with this US version according to the service center guys.They also said that its IC is short circuited but i think when IC is short circuited the phone does not give display but its working all fine.
Please help me with these 2 things -
1.Rooting my phone without connecting to PC
2.Getting my phones USB port back to work
I'm guessing your USB port has a problem check out this thread
in my case the phones not charging.....
The phone reboots when the charger is connected
The answer to your question is no. Unless I've completely overlooked something.
You will need a good usb port to be able to root the phone. There have been a couple of people who have reported that they successfully replaced their own usb port, and say it is relatively simple to do. It may take a while to get a replacement port, but since the part is small, shipping to India should not be prohibitive. Replacing your own usb port seems to be the only practical fix for your problem.

where can i find a working USB port ?
Google it. Not being rude but damn...
If you have a question about when the next CD by your favorite artist comes out, you google it right? When you need to know where to find which site has the best price on that CD you google it, right?
Use that same logic here. You need a part, google it.
Also, eBay has been known to have items people want to sell that anyone can bid on. Knowing you need it shipped overseas, it would be good to make sure the seller will ship it to your location before buying it.
(Searching these forums will present you with the answer as to which part you need to look for)

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum and have a questions about a Samsung Galaxy Note N717 that I am using at working to test a new app we have been approached with. The Note was bought in Korea and is a Genuine Samsung Galaxy Note N717 LTE.
It is running Android 2.3 and We need it to run Android 4.0 at least for the application to work.
From the research I have done, I have seen other having similar issues upgrading the software. I recently had a friend who is a Samsung Qualified Repair Agent try to install the latest software however it has crash his PC and now the Handset.
I need to get his phone working again with Android 4.0 on it. Can anyone suggest anywhere near London, UK that can do it? Or provide me with the correct details of how to do it, like a walkthrough almost. I am fairly tech savvy and have worked with mobiles for the past 7-8 years but his has totally confused me.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I am sure this is way out of my league and I myself cannot provide a solution. it is very possible that the device has been bricked. I am US based and the only fix I am aware of here is called a J-TAG which costs about $50 here and takes about a week.
whether that is the final diagnosis or not? im sure someone else will chime in.
but isn't part of the solution knowing what you did wrong? I don't think you provided enough information.
maybe you need to check again your device for what it is...........I ran a google search for n717 myself (which is what you should do) and the main result in that search is an address so I don't know.
also tried variances of 717 and found everything from flight path software to medication.
I originally thought maybe you had a Canadian version bought in Korea ???
anybody is going to need more info..........
what phone is ?
software currently?
what did you try to flash?
was what you tried to flash for the right model phone?
can you get download mode?
does phone even vibrate?
at this point could be anything from wrong software to something as simple as a stuck power button
gonna have to narrow things down a bit........if you don't know what you did, how is anybody else?
A Note N717 is a knockoff I believe. It is not a samsung phone and will not run samsung ROMs.
Thanks for your help
The phone is a Samsung N717 Note, the software was Gingerbread 2.3 until Samsung tried to reinstall the software. it has now crashed the device. As mentioned I need the latest version of android or better than 2.3 at least. I currently do not have the phone so cannot try vibrate or download mode.
Under the battery it is either a n717 or i717, it is a LTE device with an aerial that can come out.
What can zendesk do for me?
I would really like to get this resolved, from the research I have done it can be sorted but it is beyond my capabilities.
Thanks

well which is it??? I717 or N717. kind of important.
and if Samsung TRIED to re-install software and then it crashed, it would then be their responsibility. I would be asking them where your new phone is.
if you don't make them responsible, then I am sorry to say, what kind of chump are you?
either you are not telling us everything, or you did not tell Samsung everything.
whats the DEALIO ?
Guys, I REALLY need some help here and I'm desperate. I'll give you some background info here. About 3 months ago I bought a used Transformer Prime, at the time I bought it I didn't realize it had CM9 on it, I didn't check out the tablet out enough. Now I'm not into rooting or flashing ROM's AT ALL...I couldn't care less about this stuff, just give me a product that works in stock form and I'll be happy. Now here's the problem, the speaker sounds like complete ass. I don't know if it's a hardware issue or if it's just an issue with CM9. Has anyone experienced an issue like that with flashing a ROM? I gave the tablet to a friend because "he knows everything" and jerked me around for 3 months with it, didn't even touch it so I'm on my own. I just don't want to go through the hassle of replacing a speaker that might now be damaged when it's a software problem.
I guess I need to know if it's possible that it's a software issue. The speaker volume is extremely low and very muddled. I have a feeling it's the speaker but I don't know. I don't know about enough of this stuff and no one wants to touch a tablet, for some reason if it was a phone the shops around here would be happy to help.
I might just sell this thing and take a huge loss and never cheap out on buying a used product.
Thanks guys.
Hello,
I have a Galaxy S3 that I use for trying different ROMs. It does suffer though from freezes and depending on ROMs from crashes likes apps or even launchers.
I don’t have this problem with an old Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010 also from 2012.
I just found that, could bad sectors be the source of my problems ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...em-freezes-without-wiping-the-device.2566208/
Could the problem also come from bad partition ?
The motherboard just got replaced in a shop as the USB port did not work for years. The motherboard was a second hand one though. Could the problem come from that ?
Is there any way to know whether I could have a hardware problem before trying all sort of software fixes ?
Thanks in advance for answers.
