Hey everyone. My charger port has to be replaced and until I can cough up the cash to get it fixed, I was wondering if there was a way I could still root my galaxy note without a PC? I have searched this forum and had no answers so if somebody could help me out I would deeply appreciate it.

Sorry for the bad news, but no. There's no way to root without a pc.
The usb port is $15.99 shipped on eBay. It took me 20 minutes to replace it myself.
I thought had a bad port turned out to be my cable maybe try a different cable and hit the port with air duster goodluck

Thanks man I apperciate that. I went to Cell Phone Repair (CPR) in my city earlier they said they would replace it for 85$ not too bad for me seeing how i bought this galaxy note for 160$ from my friend. On a side note she did tell me it would have to be fixed so i guess Im gonna either order the part myself and do it or either pay to have it done.

Naw its not the cable i just got a new one straight from samsung. An air duster???? whats that? thanks for the help as well.
Google and YouTube is your friend ....Google air duster lol and YouTube has a video on changing your port ...I did it in like 10 min
••••changes with every flash••••
Air duster = a can of compressed air, used to blow dust and lint out of crevices like the usb/charging port. Or a belly button

So I noticed that my phone is not charging while plugged into the USB in my car. Tried using mobile search which is useless. Also noticed if I wiggle the port it sometimes grabs the charge. Just need to know if I have to put back to stock and turn in for warranty. Kinda live off my phone, I drive for a living so I need it working right.

Does your charger work in a wall socket? If it has the same problems, it's the charger. Try buying a new one to see if it works like that. But I can't think of anything on the spot while you're driving.
Also, you shouldn't be using you're phone while driving. D:

Wiggle the port on the car side? Bad car charger/cable.
Wiggle the port on the phone side, bad USB port/cable.
How clean is the socket in your car? Often times they are located in ash trays or near cup holders and get filled with spooge, try cleaning the female part of the car charger and see if you get a more consistent charge? Since your not complaining about not being able to charge at home, your USB socket I assume is fine, I'd bet it's either the cable or the cars receptacle (either dirty or faulty)

Thx for the help I think its the port on the phone . Seems like I'll be having a fun day at the phone store lol btw I drive limos so plenty of down time just no terminal to be had

Even the full site's search function isn't exactly user friendly. It's very powerful, but you have to already know how to use it.

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.
I've found that my problem is my charging Jack on the phone.There is something mechanically intermittent. Does anybody know anyone who might do this work instead of sending it back to the factory? I'll be happy to pay well.

Is it charging then not charging? On my old one my charger flex cable went bad and I had to replace it because eventually my phone stopped charging all together. Its like a 10 dollar part and takes about 15 minutes to replace. There are guides on YouTube to talk ya through it.

I had issues with the usb port cutting in and out when connecting to charger or computer,
Changed cables and did nothing same deal,
Then I changed roms and some magical way it fixed it not sure how that all worked out but maybe this will help,
goodluck
I sent it away.
For forty dollars it came back as good as new and the old part was obviously defective.

Yes, but the troubleshooting process is to go from simple to complex, from cheap to expensive. Cracked solder joints and lint would both give intermittent errors.
It was a suggestion, not an argument.

I understand that. I just wanted to make it clear to others that when the simple solutions don't work, and you're not confident of doing the work yourself, there is a reasonably priced reliable alternative.

Protip: Use AirDroid to transfer files to and from your device(s). No cables involved. A little late though, since you've already lost your port cover.

Im sure there is replacement part for that. I can almost guarantee that you will not be the only having it ripped out. Those covers look fragile. Contact Sony. Good luck. Please fill us in where u can obtain those, just in case.

as myself previously having a MDK S4 rooted in all AOSP glory and having to get a replacement and stuck with safe strap now. you really really want to keep your phone and fix it yourself. This phone is a POS when not AOSP.

Well not true. There are wireless connection methods used everywhere with this phone: I happen to use Hyperdrive Rom's FTP transfer to connect my MDK S4 to my home's wireless network, to transfer files between phone and computer. You can do everything you need to wirelessly: charging, and file transfers!!
You don't need to fix anything, just buy the wireless charging thing, and do wireless file transfers!
Plus we've got removable batteries. I've got two spares and an external charger/dock. I just rotate the batteries while charging isn't available.

Oh, good point. Well, I guess if you need to use one of those things, you'll have to replace the USB port, or lose your MDK. Sucks, but I'd go for replacing the USB port any day. It's a good opportunity for learning more about how phones are put together, too.
UPDATE: Ordered the part from Amazon, got it in about 2 days. Took about 10 minutes to swap, and that was only because I was having a hard time putting the super small screws back in. Everything went well and I have a working usb port and kept MDK!

Also beware of this before you buy:
I purchased this product because my Galaxy S4 USB port stopped working. I installed the replacement part and so far so good - my phone charges again! I initially had a microphone problem (which others have mentioned here), but I was able to resolve it by removing an orange / amber colored piece of protective tape that was covering the microphone port / hole.
