Hello
I have purchased a Galaxy S2 which has a damaged Micro USB Port.
My phone gets charged fine but I do not have a USB data connection with my PC, I'm afraid the Micro USB is damaged/broken.
However, if I really I press hard the cable to the port it gets connected for some seconds and then gets disconnected.
I've searched google about this and some people claim it's really easy to replace the Micro USB port, some screws and you are done.
The thing is I have never dismantled a Galaxy S2 before and I'm a bit afraid.
Is it really that easy?
Will this item from eBay fix my problem?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dock-Connec...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item35c5bc96a0
Also, the screen has been replaced in the past and in the upper left edge of the screen, the glue is off, how can I glue the screen back?
Thanks for reading

Actually It's pretty easy.Two days ago I've disassembled my phone(I got off everything,till the last screw),and I also unmounted the USB/Mic part of it.It's easy to get off/remount,just follow a tutorial on youtube
If you dare, first watch very carefully this video, you will learn a lot.

Then watch this guy, it looks rude in handling but you may get an idea of doing it without removing the entire motherboard, just be extreme carefully and don't over force anything.

I had the same problem and replace it with this.

and what about the screen ??
In all honesty....I'd leave the screen "as is"....Some glue may be missing, but at the moment I assume the screen is working.....
You might be able to sort the glue issue, but there is a high probability that the screen will be damaged in the process.
And replacing the USB board IS easy....you just have to make sure you buy the CORRECT replacement part.....there are 3 versions of this module. ...
REV2.2, REV2.3 and REV2.4
They are NOT interchangeable.
The REV number is printed on the board in VERY small printing...

Many thanks for your answers.
If I buy a different revision, what happens?
From what I've read, the phone may not charge, transfer of data will be affected, the microphone may not work. ...things like that....

Alright my Smartphone's Flex Cable ribbon revision is 2.2 R. B53
Now, most eBay sellers have a low English language skill, they seem they do not understand what I'm talking about
My question to them is this:
I would like to know what revision number is your flex cable ribbon.
See the pictures below to see where you can find the revision number.
Thanks a lot

It's like I'm speaking to monkeys.
A seller replied "sorry that our item doesn't fit yours."
I'm from Greece and I would like to know where can I order a flex cable charging ribbon at a low cost.
Also after disassembling my phone, now whenever I shut it down, it boot ups by itself without the power button being pressed.
However, the volume up/down keys work correctly on the OS.
Am I screwed?
No you're not, go to another repair center
And please send this pic to whoever replied "Sorry our product didn't fit yours":

Hey guys,
been a long time lurker, but I've ran into a bit of a snag that I need some help with.
missus broke her charger and used something else to charge the phone and after a bit the phone just went pop and turned off and wont switch back on again.
There is no visible damage to the phone whatsoever.
Is there some sort of mechanism designed to protect the phone from the surge or whatever it was?
I would hate for the main board to be completely knackered :S
I've been reading around and there is a USB board that connects to the rest of the phone? will it be just a case of replacing that or is the phone shafted? :S
Thanks folks.
Depends on what kind of charger she used. I do know that there are some micro-usb chargers/cable whose pin connections are different than the ones that come with the i9100.
If a different battery and a oem charger doesnt turn on the phone at all, your only option may be to send it to samsung for repair.
Thanks for the reply.
She's tried charging it on the PC and it wont work.
not to keen on sending it to samsung as they'll charge an arm and a leg.
What do you guys think? Will the damage be limited to the USB board or will this cost me any more?
Im not at home right now to be able to open it up so will rely on your expert opinions!
Honestly, how would we know without looking at it ? Something is blown which is stopping the phone from powering up, what, is anyone's guess.
Take it to a mobile repair shop if you don't want to send it to Samsung & get a quote.
As above and they might say it needs a new USB board then you can price a USB board up on ebay .
jje
Thanks guys,
In your opinion. Is it likely that the main parts of the phone have been damaged or do you think the damage has been absorbed by the battery and USB board?
Have you sniffed it to see if it stinks of burning.I would open it up and look at the internals.I would only send it for repair as a last resort as mboards are like 180 bucks.

Ok. You already got an answer, so frankly, you deserve this.
I reckon the phone is totally shot. Not replaceable. Foolishly using an incompatible charger has turned the phone into a $500+ 135 gram hunk of useless plastic. Stuffed, in a word. Time for a new phone.
Now, for the slow kids up the back, you put too many zzzzs into the phone. Something burnt out. I don't know anyone on here who has the ability to view the innards of your phone over distance.
Take it to a phone shop.
I can say it slower if that didn't get through ?

Theres no need to be arrogant about it.
Not once did I ask for you to use your magic skills to look inside the housing of my wifes phone. At this moment in time, even I do not have this ability.
I asked for your "opinion" as to what the damage could potentially be, google it if you require a definition.
I still thank you for delivering to me your opinion (eventually)
I'm away from home for a few weeks so I can't have a look inside the phone so just trying to get some feelers as to the likelihood of damage byond the USB flex cable.
Thank you very much,
GP
You have to first tell us what the "something else" used for charging is before we can make an educated guess as to what has happened.
whoops sorry about that.
It was a broken charger from an old android phone.
It would sometimes work, and not at other times.
I'm guessing the charger short circuited or something??
Cheers again
Think he means volts,mAs,polarity of the charger
sent by my s2 using xda premium
Right, I did some digging and it turns out I was lying.
it wasn't a broken charger, It was a perfectly healthy charger for a Samsung tocco lite
i checked the spec on it and it seems to be the same as the S2
5v
0.7A
?
yeah that wouldn't damage the phone without anything else being wrong, like the charger being 110V and you being in 220-220V country or something like that
nope :S
nothing like that.
it was used in the same house.
So you're saying there could be an underlying issue?
Broken charger or broken phone. It wasnt the charger's specs that killed it
Connect it to a car in the car battery and start ignition. Now there is "something else" for you

Hey guys,
I have an update.
I've finally gotten home and managed to pull the sucker apart.
No corrosion on any parts of the phone whatsoever.
However I have noticed something about the actual USB port that is stuck onto the USB flex cable
If I face the socket away from me, there are 7 joints that solder the port onto the usb board. The Joint on the far right, I wouldn't say it looks burnt, but it just looks a little dull compared to the rest, and definately looks slightly different.
This joint has a white arrow pointing towards it printed on the PCB of the actual board.
I tried taking some photos but they're not exactly high res.
Unfortunately I can't determine if the dullness of this joint is significanlty enough to denote damage or whether thats how it should normally look like.
Does anybody know what it should look like?
I tried googling for pictures but there arent any clear ones that show this. :S
Cheers.

My phone doesn't charge and I need an new charging port and microphone flex board, but I just noticed that when I tried to take the board out, the glue was hard to work with and when it snapped out, the wire for the little antennae like connector broke that attaches to the flex board. it broke right at the crimp, and I tried soldering the wire onto the connector but it didn't work. Where do I get a replacement wire with both ends of the connector?

...are you serious? It works at least as a tablet right now. I just need a way to charge the battery and a way to get cell signal back.
If anything, is there a case available that is also an external antennae?

You can buy the travel battery charger/stand for about 30 dollars. It comes as a external battery pack with a oem removable battery. Charges via micro USB and includes a wall charger.

I know that, but how do I solve the antennae problem? All I need is the $13.00 flex board and a little wire with proprietary connectors which I can't seem to find anywhere..
Or I can start looking for broken cell phones and seeing if I can find one by ripping them apart?
See that wire connected to the microphone/USB flex?? where do I get one?
I think it goes to the internal antennae of the phone
Are there any cases that double as an external antenna if I can't fix it?
EDIT:
The usb connector practically fell out. I'm going to try to solder it back in, but I'm going to need that wire either way.
I think you might be better off trying to replace the entire board... It looks like you hit it with a hammer.
This phone just came out a few months ago, what did you do to it in that short of time that required you to dissect it? Also, why didn't you call AT&T to see if you could get it replaced? You have a 1 year warranty on the phone.

Hello! I'm facing a problem with my usb port, it has been detached... I sent it in a local repairing store but they did nothing. I need your help to guide me. There are 5 contacts on the motherboard for the usb port: Vbus, Data+, Data-, N/A, Ground. I have cut a usb cable and there are 4 cables: Red, Black, White and Green. I know that Red and Black are for giving current and logically the other two are for the Data.
Can I make the two data(+/-) on the board to cantact directly with the usb cable that I have cut? I need it for flashing kernels (which flashing lasts < 30")
Take a look

Yeah they're so tiny, but at least I want data to be working for flashing kernels... I'm trying to find a solution for the adb as you too... But it seems impossible...
i flashed succesfuly ferakernel 5.1 by pushing down the usb cable while holding back button , it works after 5 or 6 shots i swear
you can try it
I sent my phone to Sony and they said (I don't believe them) that something on the board has been broken and even the mini usb was soldered it still didn't charge. So all in all, it costs 130.euros. I can't do anything but to pay them.
Here is the picture of the solution
Here is the very good solution of it and its working both for charging and falshing , i have done it for my phone and its working 100000% and i am not advising u to do it yourself but this is the solution i am herewith attaching the pictures of it .
good luck
OK, returning from hardware hacking forum,cause this topicneeds an intervention
It could be posssible, that the copper from your motherboard was broken too. In this case you could use testpoins, but It would need really precision handling. But it IS possible tosolve it.
Could you post a pohot of your broken port on your motherboard?

I got the x10 in my hands. I'm very dissapointed because while it is being charged as normally, the data doesn't work. Wtf?

How did you do that?
So I have i9100 with broken screen. I thought I'll replace the screen and have good cell phone
Fortunately, before I've ordered the screen, I wanted to try if everything else is working properly. I can turn on the phone - bottom capacitive keys light up, and after a while I hear some sound from the speaker. Then I can "lock" and "unlock" it - when I press the lock button (unlock the phone), capacitive keys light up and then when I press it again (lock it) capacitive keys turn off. So that's working.
After that I've tried to connect it to a computer. That didn't work as I expected If I connect it to the computer while it's turned off, I get this message:

Also, wrong vendor ID and product ID are reported:
If I connect it to a computer while it's turned on, I can hear the sound that it makes when you connect USB cable. But unfortunately I get the same error messages.
Any idea what could be the problem? What are the chances that this can be fixed by changing the USB board?

Seems like the 'Micro USB' is damaged, u can always get it replaced @ an affordable price for sure
By "Micro USB" do you mean this?
I can order it and replace it my self, but what are the chances that something else is wrong (e.g. the motherboard itself)?

that's the problem. I've already bought this broken cell phone (I thought that only screen was broken) and I don't want to invest more money in it if in the end it will turn out that the motherboard is also not working properly. I'll order USB replacement and if it's not working with new USB board, I'll just cut my losses.

that I didn't know!
Unfortunately, I've already ordered this one:
it says REV0.2 ??
I've just now checked and I have REV2.2, so will this be compatible? Or should I just try and cancel the order?
EDIT: I just saw i9100T on the picture... I'll contact the seller and ask him which board he's selling.
I can also see some other designations: R.B71 37. Do I need to also match these?
No...it's just the rev version you need to match.....
And the fact that the board you've ordered is for a different variant of the phone could also be 'problematic'......

Sorry for the late reply. I have yet to figure out an answer still. All of the points are unpowered which is strikingly odd as I've worked with bricked phones before and at least the some of the points have juice running through them to figure out which is what.
My device does indeed power on as the status LED is functioning correctly. I've yet to take the device apart any further, but I'm assuming that I'll need to in order to figure this one out.

Sorry, I do not have an answer yet. I hope I will soon enough, but I've been busy with other work and put this project off to the side for the time being. I have tried the points under the LCD as well with no avail.
Best of luck on your end as well. I hope one of us is able to solve this though.
Ok same here I'm keep trying...the other day I found a post for G8 stylus on the forum here and it worked so I spend the half of the Sunday trying again and nothing I tried as well under the LCD connector I even tried to do the one pin and the other to ground as I remember on my old Lenovo that how I fixed it....anyway thanks for the reply if anything comes up I will let you know and I hope some of the masters here can step up here and help us..
trying to figure this out as well thanks for the post
pretty sure i found the points
huge pain in the ass to short them because theyre under the usb cable
when i short these points my phone is recognized as an unknown usb device for a couple seconds and then nothing
anyone trying
the usb ribbon needs to be connected for the short to do anything
I had mine hooked into a port with hardbrick, the computer would off and on recognize as some foreign port. But then I flashed the wrong. Now the computer doesn't see it at all. Tried your edl points with some solder wick, just threw it under the usb cable. Sorry to say I didn't get anything back.
i wasnt able to test further because one on the pads came off the board

that method is very unreliable
remove the battery so you can peel up the usb ribbon
bend the usb ribbon so that you can bridge the pads with tweezers while the ribbon is connected
this is the only way i was able to get it to be recognized as a device on my pc
however, i was never able to get it to stay in whatever mode it was booting to as it would disconnect itself after about 2 seconds every time
