sorry im not familiar w that rom but the ultimate unbrick will put you back at stock and you can start over. it can be a pita at times but it never fails
[Samsung Infuse 4G] albee320:
also think about flashing zips from cwm...ive never used rom manager bbut havent heard good things
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
THE ONLY ROM IN ROM MANAGER COMPATIBLE WITH INFUSE IS INFUSED V 2.2, AND NEVER FLASH IT FROM ROM MANAGER, DOWNLOAD IT AND FLASH IT FROM RECOVERY.....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
I already knew this but do you mind elaborating on why not d? Thanks..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
If the screen turns on, you're not hardbricked, use one of gtg465x's unbrick packages.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericksugiarto:
Until now I get 2 bug

1. I cant download anything from market.

It say,"download error."

2. When I charge my phone and try to message

sometime I only touch one alphabet but the result is more than one alphabet come out in the text...

Any way to fix these problem??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omarbenjdida:
I don't have these problems
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
most likely not a bug. I don't have this problem and also didn't notice anyone reporting any of such in its thread.

As for the market I'd try cleaning it's cache and data.

For the charging/double typing thing i have no clue.

To be honest, I'd just wipe it all clean and start over fresh.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericksugiarto:
Thanks for the info

I flashed this rom with wipe and factory reset

I will try to clean flash once more

will see if still cant download from market..

Hardbricks do exist on this phone but you have to try really hard to do it. A few people have managed it. Way to stick with it and recover your phone. I've done that more times than I can count.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hani1400:
I didn't feel like i really hard bricked it until i saw the USB computer connection error "device pluged in malfunctioned" in more than one PC.

Then i really felt like its a hardware BIOS chipset level problem now but man...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
That story cracked me up. That is exactly why I spend days reading before I even root my phone. I made the mistake one time on my old G1 and it could not be revived.

Congrats on getting it working. (especially without flooding the q&a with redundant questions that have been described in detail several places :p)

Wheooooooooowwww,..you just UNBRICKED mine, I know of the Battery pull etc...but the post you referenced

is MAGIC

This was not my first Rom nor Root on this phone, it weirdly happened while doing the GB starter....via ODIN, which i also used before..no clue what went wrong, oh well...

Thank you, thank you "i did"....Yohoooo

It forces 2D hardware acceleration in older apps that aren't hardware accelerated. Sometimes it'll make older apps behave weird because they are not built for HW acceleration. I always leave mine checked and haven't had any real issues thus far.

Hi

I am posting here since I Am a new member and and I cannot post in the development section .. I recently flashed the January 25th built of the nightly and I noticed that the camera flash is not working also many of the feature in the camera seems to have been disabled so just wanna check if anyone else have the same issue ..

[EVO 4G General] threestripebrand:
Well for all the flashing kernels,roms,nands etc. I finally have to unroot for the first time to get my USB port fixed. Its been a year since I unrevoked, so I downloaded the s on tool which says it doesn't like my baseband 2.15.00.0808, so I've been trying to flash a lower one without any luck. So if someone could kindly tell me what I'm missing I'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks, on my way.

Edit: all stock and ready to rock! Hopefully they don't update me from my 2.2, I wonder if ill sound suspicious if I let them know I don't want update. unrevoked was so easy both ways.
[EVO 4G General] Febby:
Why do you have to turn back to S-ON for them to fix the USB port? My local stores all have an issue with working on rooted phones or S-OFF. Just make sure you are on a stock ROM for them (saves a hassle apparently).
[EVO 4G General] threestripebrand:
I don't if my local store will have a problem with it or not. It's hit or miss and just depends on the employee really. I've heard people taking in fully rooted and running custom roms and getting whatever service they need. And some people getting turned away fully stock with s on just for having root related items on their SD card. I figure why even take the chance, it only takes a couple minutes to back up sd,put s back on, return to a unrooted Rom and wipe SD.
[EVO 4G General] Febby:
True that, better to avoid chances if you don't know the store around you very well. All I can say is be prepare because some stores can be total dicks when it comes to ports. They tend to try and blame it as physical damage.
[EVO 4G General] threestripebrand:
Yeah I've heard that, but I don't see how if my year old Evo is in mint condition with my otterbox which has been on it since minute one which is also in mint condition. But I do realize again it does depends on the employee. I guess ill try to get the same person I talked to today to see if they would do it. She sounded super nice, she said " yeah no prob, just drop it off for about an hour and we'll get that fixed right up for you". She did make sure to ask me if it was just loose or separate from the board though. So that may be the difference there.
[EVO 4G General] intrlude:
Yes that will be the difference. The phone will be disassembled, not much to it, and the port inspected. If it is still attached (or detached but solder points in tact), you get a phone ordered via Advanced Exchange. If it is detached and deemed physical, you get to file a claim.

Calling the store & asking could save you some time & frustration. My camera was completely fubar & needed to be replaced but I was worried they wouldn't touch it do to it being rooted. I called my local store ahead of time, explained what my problem was, & asked if they serviced rooted phones. They put me on hold, asked the tech, & told me as long as the problem wasn't software related then it was no problem. Took the phone in, had camera replaced and back in my hand in less than an hour with everything intact. Saved me a lot of time since I didn't have to unroot & put back to stock before I took it in.

Well apparently neither of two repair centers near me will repair a loose charging port, only replace with a refurbished evo. So off to HTC it goes for repair.

Hey guys, I created this thread to chronicle my attempt in fixing my Galaxy Note's broken USB dock connector.

The problem: The phone charges only when off. MTP/USB mass storage won't work. On some roms Car mode wackiness ensued. It seemed like it was possessed; exactly like another persons detail of the problem.

Attempt to fix it: Contacted three wholesalers in China at Alibaba.com for the dock connector for Galaxy Note. Waiting on response right now.

So far I have eleminated everything in my troubleshooting. I've tried multiple custom roms and went and tried two different stock roms with no luck. I also have tried plugging in different kinds of usb cables. I also tried plugging them in different computers.

Anyone can post they're problem-->solution here for future reference.

I found this on google and I thought it was very helpful. HERE IS THE SERVICE MANUAL FOR GALAXY NOTE:

I am afraid there is no solution for this type of behavior at this point. I am too had the same experience.

I am awaiting for another responds email from Germany(where my Note came from) to send mine in for a repair. Until then, I can still use my Note with external battery/charger that I got from Amazon.

good luck-

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naimmkassim:
Did you guys try use difference charger? I face the same problem once where the charging mode keep changing to dock mode on and off while charging. After i change it use others charger (spare), now everything is ok.

My theory is that the charger started to malfunction n produce too low or too high voltage which trigger the dock mode..my 2 cents.. ;P correct me if im wrong..

I can assure you it's not the charger or the data cable, as I have plenty laying around. My money is on the logic board.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wolfmanx:
After having 2 SGNote units being bricked and (luckily) replaced with a new unit everytime, I found that the root cause for the SGNote being bricked is a weak USB interface and protection circuit. At first I thought I just messed up the rooting process that's why I bricked the device. When my 2nd replacement unit also got bricked, I traced back that the only common denominator was a rogue iphone charger that I used to recharge the device. Knowing that the weakness of the SGNote is the USB circuit, I'm now careful to use no other charger but the stock charger that came with the unit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andruyd:
Yeah this makes sense.

Anyway this is the part I'm trying to acquire:

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/521398854/I9220_charger_flex_for_Samung.html

I strongly believe that the Galaxy S2 USB problems are of similar nature and the solution was to replace the USB dock connector. This gives me a lot of hope since it's easy enough to do. There is no soldering involved AFAIK since it just came off during the Galaxy Note teardown video on youtube @2:28 and @3:36 (ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFDr3PQMTxw). Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aftabbabar:
its definitely a hardware issue and has been traced to the usb port inside the phone. I have the same issue and I am also waiting for the part to replace the damaged one inside my phone.

here is what I am doing to make my phone function-able:

When you connect the usb cord to charge the phone you have to press it down hard and then slide it out. this will temporarily fix the physical usb port pins and allow your phone to function normally. you have to do this every time when you connect and disconnect the usb cord. I will use my phone like this until the part becomes available to buy. I have a feeling, this phone is very delicately designed and can get bricked all by itself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
My note does not charge with Three of my HTC chargers neither does it charge with another car charger.but charges fine with the Samsung charger.has sometimes issues with otg with Samsung otg cable and another otg cable. Even today when I used a Samsung otg cable to connect my note with a Samsung galaxy s2 via a Samsung USB cable, the otg features did not work, the s2 just said mtp and note said unknown device connected! So there are issues with this USB on the note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andruyd:
I saw a youtube video for Galaxy S2 where he suspected that it was a malfunctioning USB dock. He replaced it and all the symptoms were gone. I'm really going full press on this and hopefully I can help myself and others who have similar problems. I've read up on USB problems the last 2 days from Galaxy Note users and Galaxy S2. They are very similar in design other than the screen/stylus.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andruyd:
Please keep us updated on your progress. :)

BTW to the folks having USB issues, are you having unusual battery drain? What other quirks have you encountered?

Has anyone compared the shape of the USB dock connector for Galaxy S, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note? I wonder if they are all the same shape and if I should try and look at replacing that part only? If it is the same then I will get this http://cnn.cn/shop/samsung-i9000-galaxy-microusb-connector-p-10745.html since it's cheap and I've got nothing to lose if it doesn't work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naimmkassim:
Looks like we have a new design flaw here..so, how long does it take for you guys to experience this problem from date purchase your note?

Mine already 1 month purchase and not having this problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wolfmanx:
I fully agree that it is a hardware issue. Samsung should come up with an extra dongle or maybe a protection circuit integrated with the USB cable that should be used in conjunction with the SGNote. Otherwise, this issue will just keep on repeating and they will end up with a bunch of bricked units on their hands.

If only I didn't like the display on this device, I would have opted for a change item instead of a replacement unit.

I still have the rogue iPhone charger and when I use it to charge an iPhone it keeps on repeatedly bringing up the charging battery icon on and off but it doesn't destroy or brick the phone. But when I connected it to the SGNote, it bricked it. I did it on 2 units. And it will surely brick any other SGNote unit I connect this charger to. I'm willing to demo this to Samsung to prove the point of their weak USB interface circuitry.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andruyd:
Like you I got the Note for the screen size because I don't like to read in small screens. I haven't had a phone in 6 years!!!! I've seen phones come and go. The screen size of the Note made it comfortable enough to read anything (PDF, comics, web pages, ebooks).

How sure are you guys that it is indeed the USB circuitry and not just the metal dock? To be honest I'm not sure right now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wolfmanx:
Oh my! Looking at the charger flex assembly pictures, all I see are a bunch of passive components for protection. I see no active components on this board that would likely be used for over-voltage or over-current protection. I'm not sure if it's on the main board though. But normally protection circuitry are placed right next to the connector for them to be effective. There seems to be a lot of space on the board for even a single-chip USB protection circuit but the space hasn't been utilized for such.

I'd be willing to bet you that your problems will still be the same even after replacement of this flex assembly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andruyd:
Well I hope you are wrong :p or else I'm screwed over an $800 phone. Did you see that in the Service Manual? I've linked the service manual on the first post. QME02 is the part I want to replace.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bannork:
For me it was a month and a half before it started going crazy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wolfmanx:
For me, about 5 minutes after I plug-in the rogue iPhone charger... I did it twice... and luckily, since I still have warranty, I got both units replaced.

I strongly suggest for everybody not to use any other USB charger apart from the stock charger that came with the SGNote. Of course, this excludes plugging it into a PC or laptop as they should be fairly safe and well-protected (at least for name-brand units).

If you're going to use the stock charger, I would recommend plugging the USB cable in the charger and plugging-in the charger in the wall socket first BEFORE plugging-in the mini-USB connector to your SGNote. This minimizes the chances of having voltage spikes being transmitted through the USB connections into the SGNote, especially during the actual plugging of the charger to the wall socket. This is to be on the safe side in the case that the stock charger design is also flawed and doesn't prevent transients from reaching the load unit itself.

Is there a website or something from which we can call Samsung's attention on this matter? If indeed transients are the cause of the USB problems then all they need to do on the SGNote is to redesign the USB board assembly and stick it into units that have not been affected yet. This entails a product recall or as I mentioned in my previous post, maybe to offer us SGNote buyers a dongle or a USB cable with the protection circuitry.

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

Yup on the service manual and on the links to alibaba that you provided on your previous posts. I looked at both sides of the sub-assembly and only found passive components.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aftabbabar:
I am also waiting for the part to become available on ebay so I can replace it. replacing the usb port with flex connector is quite easy and can be done it 10 minutes or less. I have taken it out and cleaned it and then reinstalled it. not difficult at all. I am in touch with some ebay venders who sell galaxy s2 charging usb port. I am pushing them to get the galaxy note part as well. lets see what happens in the next few days as no one is working in china because of their new year celebrations.

I have contacted a ebay vender in china. He assured me he has the charging port for galaxy note. He will send me pictures in the next few days to confirm if that is the part in question. Then he will make it available to us on ebay. will keep you guys posted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aftabbabar:
after trying everything and still failed, all of the sudden my phone works fine now. all I did was push the usb cord down when I connected and disconnected from the phone. this mean, when sliding in or sliding out the usb cable, I also pushed it down towards the back of the phone. I guess this adjusted the pins inside the phone. Now the phone is working fine and does not show symptoms of charging when phone is not even connected to the usb cable. I will still change the usb port when it becomes available on ebay.

I did cut out the hole in the custom cover of the phone in order for it to have a more efficient connection with usb cable. Before the cable would not click in all the way and was forced to bend the connector of the cable in an angle. Maybe this is what caused the pins inside the usb port to become bent. Anyway, My problem is solved for now. will keep everyone posted.
