I have the s3 and the charging port on it does not work, wont charge no matter the cable, I've taken apart cleaned out nothing helps so I used another old s3 to charge batteries. I couldnt hook the phone to the computer due to the charging port so I would download roms onto a SD card and rooted using kingo and installed twrp using flashfire. I was testing out some roms and flashfired stock mk3 and nd2 which was fine but when I went back to mk3 moar 6.0 flashfire did not work with that version, so I twrp wicked mk3 rom and everything was ok. I had liked wicked x, I was having trouble flashing the nj2 firmware using mk3 so I flashed the the mk3 wicked. I also flashed the custom recovery (philz i think) that was preferred by the rom. Using the sd card i used in multiple devices, I clicked the samsung tab twrp by accident, it flashed, I didnt have a zip of the correct recovery and couldnt flash a image in whatever recovery i was in at the time.
I figured screw it I'll flash it once the phone boots up using flashfire or twrp app. Phone booted up, started initializing and turned off. I read in wicked x nj2/nd8 if you werent on that bootloader youd bootloop, I thought maybe being i had flashed nj2 bootloader before I might be ok. The phone just sits at the boot animation for wicked x and the buttons will flash like its about to boot up fully but never does. I cant get into recovery mode because I flashed the t217s twrp instead of the s3 one, I cant connect it to a pc because the ports messed up.
Is there a secret key combination or any genius ideas of making something happen with this or am I left at either replacing the usb port or trash it? I have another s3, its a verizon and the motherboard chips are a little different but was thinking of taking port off that and putting it on this s3 but not sure if superglue will be as good as soldering which i've never done. Is there a way to do anything in download mode without using a computer? Is there any tricks like putting aluminum on the tip of the charger before putting it in the phone that will connect it? lol anything? I had the workarounds great before but completely FD myself in a two hit combo I cant seem to get out of. I was doing fixing it for a friend, who also gave me a s7 that I was going to replace the screen on but the battery ripped open when I was prying it off and it puffed out smoke and if I touched it anymore it would spark a little so I threw it in a zipbag of water LOL cuz the note 7 fires so this one I need to have like the sweetest rom so I can be like oh and that s7 was like exploding and he wont be too upset plus with the note 7 issues i can suggest it was related, but with two non working things I am what I am apparently, an amateur.[/B
I couldnt figure out how to make it paragraphed, I put in tabs but it defaulted to terrible look and tried the align option but looked worse so hopefully the bold and unbold will be good enough Forget it i tried like 4 different things, i wouldnt read it either
