Loose charging port

[JehC]

My micro USB port on my phone has been slowly getting loose, now when I plug it into my laptop I get "USB device not recognized ". I found a thread on buying another one and replacing it, but the eBay link is dead. My stepdad has an old HTC Droid Incredible. I was wondering if its possible to swap them out or if I would have to get my phone replaced

Does it charge on the wall charger?

If your phone is under warranty get the whole thing replaced. There are a few sites that sell the part if its not anymore. Look for Incredible 2 or S the part is identical. I have replaced mine its not difficult. I found a video on youtube that showed the whole process. BTW the part is like 5-10 and look for a tool kit if you dont have tiny torx drivers.

im not under warrenty i believe. but i'll try to get it replaced.
yeah i can get it to charge, the problem is i JUST rooted/s-Off'ed my phone and now i can't flash a stock rom over to return it to verizon lol. if it gets worse i'll figure something out. i'll start looking for spare parts

lol... are u good with a soldering iron?

i just did one for a Samsung Galaxy (it was the StraightTalk one). I definitely don't recommend something this ridiculously tough... a 7 wire USB plug! Unfortunately, one of the pads came off and it was a loss...

alright, i went up to verizon and they're sending me a new one for free. the thing is i gotta send my old phone back.
i'm rooted with s-off running cm7, should i restore my nandroid back up of sense 2.1/android 2.3.3 then update back to 2.3.4, do you think they'll notice i rooted it?

No soldiering required to replace the charge port I've done it to 3 dinc2 and its just a ribbon cable and the part is only 8 bucks on eBay its really simple if you have the right size tools

Download with new phone, move to root of sd card, than put sd in other pgobe and apply through bootloader Ive used it 3 times and works great.

It does not.touch s-off, ive turned 3 of them in with no problems, and along with the other 1000 that used that method.
Bootlooping? You shouldn't be. Did you wipe data/dalvik/ factory reset. It.should boot right up. To setup screen than pull battery and send In

Did it go all of the way through the process? Should've been a kist of things that it done on screen during process

My charge port is so bad I pretty much have to hold the plug to make it charge so looks like I'm ordering parts from eBay tonight , while Im at it I might replace the front speaker too , anyone know if the speaker connections are soldered ? I'd take mine apart but don't have a torx atm.hopefully I can fix it cuz I really don't want a different phone

vivow? More like vivWOW

I've returned a couple with stock ROM and one with cm7 still on it (all were S off) with no problems I wouldn't worry.

I couldn't S-On my phone because my port was dead. I took it to Best Buy (where I bought it and pay for Geek Squad BTP); they took it and ordered me a new one which arrived two days later. SO far I haven't heard anything about it. Maybe since the issue was the charging port and not the software itself, they didn't care? IDK...

What a piece of sh1t this phone is. Can HTC even make a phone that lasts more than a year without falling apart? Luckily, I'm getting only my second inc2 on Friday. Can't wait to see what is wrong with this refurb beaut.
