Idea about modding Xperia X micro-USB to USB-C

[FoxTheLegend]

Okay any news?
For unknown reasons I cannot explain by poor back metal cover got destroyed. It got weird scratch marks (metal wore off) and the weirdest thing it was ALWAYS in a specific case, so maybe the case inner material is the problem? I have no idea. Anyway im thinking since I may change the back plate since it is very cheap (15 eur) and looks ugly af now, maybe im going to attempt switching to usb C, which costs like 5 eur

Also, does anybody know a way to repair marks on the plastic sides.of the phone? The paint comes of very easily and looks kinda ugly, I think using a marker the same color isnt a good idea

If anyone is still interested, I made a reddit thread asking how to cut the plastic

Impossible. Just don't waste your time on this.
Reason is very simple:
1. You'll need a special controller for this. Kernel recompiling will be mandratory as well.
2. Again, you'll not have ANY support by anyone there. So, for example, if you want to flash a custom ROM you'll need to recompile the kernel again. And since there are no normal kernel devs there, don't even think you'd make it working.
Oh, and controller will 95% not launch on X.

****, didn't know that just a port required such a difference software wise. Good thing I gave up on the idea anyway

Not that hard to do actually

There is no need for special fw. The hardest part would be to cut the hole nicely since usb c is bigger.

There would not be any advantage other than being able to connect charger both ways and more durability. I'm thinking of buying this phone rn so if I get it I'll do it
