So I've ended up destroying (the charging circuit) my I9000 by removing the usb connector the wrong way. I've followed this guide
but I was to impatient with heating up the usb connector., Because of that the copper pads came along with the pins of the usb connector.
So now my question. Is it still possible to make the charging circuit work?
I've found these two images. Source 1 and Source 2. I don't know if the images are right, can anybody confirm this?
But if I run wires from the pins of the usb connector to the components in the image would it make the charging system work again?
Or are there any other smart solutions to fix this issue?

Help guys. Do appreciate a little help here. I have a phone cover for Galaxy Note and it covers it perfectly except a little problem with the opening of cover at the microUSB area. The hole over the microUSB area is not properly cut. It means that whenever I would plug the microUSB wire into the port during charging, it wouldn't fit perfectly. However, the battery still indicates that it is charging eventhough the microUSB charging wire is only plugged into the microUSB port halfway.Battery always charged to a 100%. My question is could plugging the microUSB wire halfway into the port damage the phone in anyway while it's charging? Thanks.
Not likely, but there is a chance it might damage the phone. Since it's not properly inserted, some connectors might hit wrong pins, especially when moved.
Probably best to just take the case off for charging.
I bought a Nexus One with the infamous broken power button issue, and I am curious what would the effect be if I short the VCC and GND line in the charging port? Has anyone tried that? I am thinking that it will either fry the board or trick the phone to think that it is charging.
The reason I want to do this is because I travel a lot and I might not have access to USB charging if I want to swap the SIM card. I am familiar with the other tricks regarding remapping the trackball_center and I am going to install a version of CWM that doesn't support charging (that way the phone boots when I plug a charging cable).
So long story short... what do you think about attempting to short the micro USB charging/data port?
It won't fool the phone into anything, only ruin your USB socket and potentially fry any device into which you'll plug such phone, forgetting that it's shorted.
For charging detection 5V needs to be applied between VCC and GND - standard VBUS voltage.
I'm having a bit of an issue with my usb port where I need to push the cable upwards (if you are facing the phones screen) in order for the phone to begin charging. It also is taking a little longer than normal. I have tried a different cable as well with the same result.
Is there anyway to repair the usb port on the HD7? I just took the case apart on the back, but the port is still shielded. Is there any instructions out there on how to replace this port?
Iron soldering or a new board, your choice.
try with the soldering, if that fails, a new board must be bought, it cost around $25-$35 online.
Hi,
I recently tried to replace the charge port for a Galaxy Captivate i897
and in the process of doing so, the pins on the board got damaged.
Can someone please help me locate or trace where the data pins go.
I will have to run jumper wires to the Charge port.
The Charge battery terminals are ok.
Any comments appreciated.
thanks in advanced

Hi,
a few days ago, my good old Nook HD+ stopped charging and my PC won't detect it as well. When connected to powerbank/PC, only green light shows on besides charging connector.
It's most likely caused by corrosion in connector. I've bought two replacement cables, both of them don't work.
I've dissasembled my Nook and measured resistance between USB wires and matching pins on connector on motherboard. Power pins seem to be fine, but one of data lines had about 0.5 higher resistance than the other. I've tried cleaning the connector carefully with IPA and toothpick, but that didn't help.
Question is, what are the options? Is it possible to buy replacement connector?
If not, has someone tried replacing connector with microusb, that is by cutting and rerouting traces on motherboard so that it matches micro USB connector? I don't really care about HDMI/audio functionality, all I need is charging and file transfer.
I've placed motherboard into cheap ultrasonic cleaner with IPA for a few minutes and that fixed the issue. Connector works as before.
Only side effect of repair is, that my nook stopped booting CM 10 from SD card. But that another unrelated issue.
