HI, i want to buy an Original Samsung USB cable, EXACTLY the same one that comes with the
Galaxy SII i9100
so that i can use it to root, put roms, etc.
the cable code that its in the label says
"U2 APCBU10BBE
KD1B202TS E"
anyone knows where i can buy one ONLINE (with worldwide shipping)
THX!
I guess you might have been able to do some searching in these two days and would have found some place to get the cable. In case you haven't, try Export Prive.

son, it's time to accept Google's friendship !
Am I missing something here? Why is it so important to get the original Samsung USB cable? It's just microUSB.
I didn't even bother taking the original Samsung cables out of the box since I have so many laying around. I use my cables from my previous HTC devices. I also use generic cables that I bought for spares. It all works just fine.
I rooted my SGS2 and with just a generic microUSB cable that happened to be nearby. And I charge my SGS2 with my HTC chargers.

I wonder if that is really an original cable, especially at that price. Ordered 3 anyway.
Yeah I've never bothered with specific cables before but Galaxy S2 requires a specific USB build cable. I've flashed my ass off with Galaxy S and different cables but SII would not work (properly) until I used the cable that came with it. Tried on different PC's, Mac (running Fusion), different USB cables etc... only Samsung's worked.
It might be that the length of the cable needs to be very short because SII is not powered the same way GS was powered.
thx everyone!! yup i heard in a lot of places that i must use original cables for specific
things..
google is my very best friend ... but not all does fake cables aaaaalll over google,
the easy way its not an original cable, and the hard way... well i dont undestand Z xD
and no, i dident find where to buy it yeet!, cant find it ANYWHERE!
if anyone knows where i can find an original cable (worlwide) ill be Very thankfully
Exportprive carries original samsung/anymode (samsungs partner) accessories.

aaa, Exportives its not working now aggghhh... waitiiiing....
Received my original cable from Export Prive today. The cable is a U6, so the cable is slightly thicker and the microUSB connector is also slightly thicker in the plastic area. It still fits in the opening of my SGP Silke case and the cable works fine for charging and data connection.
Received the really cheap cables from ebay. Turns out that they are also original Samsung cables with the code:
S1 APCBS10BBE
FL1Z412ASB
The connectors are identical to my original U2 APCBU10BBE cable and the wiring feels slightly stiffer.
Extremely good value for $2 each! Charges fine, transfers data through USB mass storage fine as well. Will test flashing next time.

I beg to differ. Firstly, the SGSII requires a micro usb B connector. And secondly, the quality of the wire used in the cable itself can limit the charging rate. Really thin cheap cables like the retractable ones limit the charging current. And cables with poor shielding/grounding cause the touchscreen to become unresponsive and you have a higher chance of a firmware upgrade going wrong due to corrupt data.

Nope, my HDMI cables cost me $3.95 each.
For some things cheap cables will work, for others, you need proper ones.
My proper Samsung microUSB cables cost me $2 each only anyway, so what does this have to do with cheap/expensive cables? My argument is that you need quality cables. And price does not equal quality. You can get good quality items for cheap price too. Except for microSD cards.
hey sleepy cat,
the cable's you've ordered from KTS-AME, do they work with KIES and Galaxy S or SII?
I've ordered a cheap one on Amazon and KIES doesnt recognise my phone.
so if the KTS-AME one actually does the job of getting my phone back with KIES, I am going to order it for my Galaxy S I9000.

hmmmm you do know that's probably about the cost of making a real 32gb microsd card, yes?
And of course you do know that some of the "counterfeit" luxury goods like LV bags, are actual products taken from the china factory and resold cheap.
Of course, there are lots of conmen in china, but hey one may always get lucky.

Do any of you guys and gals know of an aftermarket cable that will work with the captivate. I lost the original one that came with the phone. Have since bought two different chargers, one from the att store (zero charger), and they charge the phone but don't put it on USB mode like the original one did when I plug it to a laptop.
Sent from my rooted Cappy.
All you need is a standard MicroUSB to USB cable. Make sure it's a standard cable, and not a "charge only" cable though.
A bit of advise, generally if you buy a cable that isn't a Samsung USB cable, you're going to have to take a razor blade to your new cable and cut away some of the rubber around the MicroUSB plug. You'll see that untrimmed, you might have a hard time getting the cable secured in the phone's port.
Thanks man. I actually just noticed the "charging only cable" written on the tag on the cable. Now I know what to look for. And you're right, the one I bought from a gas station was always popping out. The one from att fits like a glove though.
Sent from my rooted Cappy.
All it takes is a razor blade or something similar, and a few seconds. I use a bunch of generic USB cables which all have fat plug heads. Trimming a little of the rubber off and they all work perfect.
Weird, for some reason my original cable from ATT now is really loose, I have to like set the phone down a certain way to keep it charging/plugged in.
The only cables that now do fit snuggly are the ones from my external mini hard drives with the fat head, haha, I wonder why...my captivate still looks normal, can't figure it out.
I guess I should see if my normal cable fits with my externals or falls out of those too, if so it would be the cable. But it seems weird that the fat headed cables fit snuggly with my captivate, so that makes me think maybe its the captivate.
long winded stupid post, sorry.

Check out www all4cellular DOT com
They have the OEM Samsung Captivate (U.S./Edison) Wall Charger and USB Charging+Data Cable for $6.95 + $2 Shipping.
The item number is "eta0u60jbe". But this item # includes BOTH the USB Wall Charger (# ETA0U60JBE) AND the USB-to-Micro USB data/charging Cable (# ECC1DU2BBE)!
I bought two of these and they are EXACTLY like the original Charger and ~5ft. USB Cable that comes with the Captivate. They are OEM/Samsung-branded and labeled and are not Chinese-made knock-offs. I am in SoCal and received them within a few days of ordering.
Here's a direct link:

I had similar issues, till I realized that the problem was with the sliding door for the microUSB port - make sure it is pushed all the way back (you may hear a click) - its only then that all my MicroUSB cables fit w/out any modifications to them.
as always YMMV.
hope that helps
I second the Monoprice.com recommendation. I buy ALL my cables there. The heads on their micro USB cables are too large to plug into the Captivate unmodified, but I used a Dremel to fix that.
Both of my Monoprice cables are going strong, in contrast with my OEM cable, which started out excellent, but is now so loose as to not maintain a connection unless the phone and cable are precisely arranged.

I have a 1009 model. Assuming that means it was manufactured Sept,2010. Now to find a microUSB
We have some micro USB 5' Cables coming in Monday. If they are like the sample they not only fit the Captivate properly, but when plugged into our new Car Plug ->USB (2100mA) adapter, my Captivate shows "Charging (AC) ".
We originally brought in the Hi-Power USB car adapter so iPad & Tablet customers could both run & charge at the same time. We have had enough request from customers looking to use it with Smart Phones, that I had to find the best matching cable.

Monoprice...ALWAYS!!
As mentioned, get your cables from monoprice. I mean, you just can't beat a usb cable for $2. If it needs trimmed, I usually just use a razor knife/box cutter to remove the bulk, and it works perfectly. I actually had to order a 25ft. VGA cable from them a couple of days ago...$8. Seriously. Definitely the cheapest place I've seen to buy cables.
I purchased 2 of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OSURT2/ref=oh_o05_s00_i00_details
and NEITHER one worked with my Gnex!! It wouldn't sync, charge or anything.
Is there ANY way to get a STOCK USB for the Gnex? (the one that came with the phone, http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SCH-I515MSAVZW-accessories last item on the 2nd page)
Also had problems with other micro USB chargers.....a lot seem to have some sork of short in theme.....lose power when I move the phone around....how hard is it to find a working cable? Anyone with similar issues?
I have various cheap eBay micro usb cables and OEM ones and they all work. Perhaps take a look at your gnex micro USB port? Maybe a piece of dust is in there. Or the contacts are screwed. Its probably more complicated than that, but it doesn't hurt to check. GL
I'm using USB cables I got for very cheap and they all worked so far...can you try the cables with another phone?
Hmm well I can try when I get home. My Droid 2 was the same way! only the stock USB would work and a few aftermarket micro USBs wouldnt work! And you guessed it, my Droid 2 USB worked fine with my GNex :S
I bought 2 of these cables and they work just fine:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001XXUOQI/ref=oh_o05_s00_i00_details
They look like the one that comes with that charger, though. Very odd.
I have always had the best luck with the oem motorola micro usb cables. Well made and never a charging or pc connectivity issue and you can usually find them cheap on Amazon.
I have one cable that plugged into PC or into my AC jack gives me just AC, no data connection.
My other usb cable charges but no AC and gives data.
I bought this charger + cable combo.
They are the same models that come with the phone. They work flawlessly.
The kit was a little cheaper back then, but definitely beats having to order random cables till one of them works.

Ditto! works like a charm.
Most of my micro USB cables work, but this one that came with an LG Optimus One (and worked on my Nexus One, HTC Panache, Nook Color) does not register in my GNex. Not sure why - maybe something about the shape of the port or the depth.

I'm almost sure that you manage to damage your USB port, just like I did. It won't do anything but charge AC only through pc and nothing more, no matter what cable I use.
I'm just waiting for my replacement part arive from Hong Kong. 1,5 month already and no word of it. I guess it take that much time anyway.

That'd be tragic. I dont think thats the case because GNex #1, GNex #2 and Droid 2 all had the same issue (certain cords short out, stock ones do not) So I am leaning towards manufactures quality....Just ordered 2 different cheap ones from ebay....waiting....
Definitively a damaged port. I bought a port from Hong-Kong as well, and it took 6 weeks to ship!!
After replacing it the phone charges with all my cables though.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good replacement micro USB cables. Mine has started to act funky and only charges correctly at a certain angle.
I know there are several cheap cables out there on Amazon and eBay but I was looking for something reliable such that if I flash through Odin or some type of future Bootloaders I do not wanna risk bricking my phone because of a bad cable.
Can anyone suggest or link me to official and not knockoff Samsung cables or some other alternative that works well. If not can on suggest a reliable Brand that I can search for.
Thanks.
Belkin make very good cables indeed. I have several; give them a shot. They're not overpriced, either.
I would stay away from the cheap ebay ones (as you said) - they don't seem to work correctly, never seem to charge/connect to my S3 properly.

This is the type of cables that I use. I bought 8 of them last year, and I have put them in my car, my wifes car, my daughters car (with cheap USB chargers of course). I put chargers on a couple of my motorcycles using them. I have a pair of bluetooth intercoms for my helmets that need micro-USB chargers for them both. I had to buy another bag of 8. I've given a couple of them away. So I have about a dozen charge connections, and only about $25.
There is no reason to pay more the $2 each for these cables. The USB works on them. They charge over USB. They charge at the high charge rate. They work correctly and they are reliable. And if one of them DOES ever fail, I won't feel bad.

Stay away from the 89c cables from Hong Kong, they are horrible quality and don't conform to USB wiring standards. I had a bad experience the other day when I tried to plug the emergency cable I keep in my bag into my S3, wouldn't go in, I thought I'd somehow bent the charging port on my S3 but really it was just the ****ty cable.
Both ports connect perfectly to cell phone and computer. - The length of the cable is the right size (90 cm), not too long and not too short. - I have been using it for some weeks and it works fine for both transferring data and recharging my phone.http://dx.com/p/usb-charging-data-cable-for-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-90cm-length-59092
Although monoprice are quality the cable's micro usb side(metal part) isn't as long as the Samsung cable and they don't tend to stay in as well. But it's not that bad but noticeable. I love monoprice besides shipping costs

I am looking for a really long charging cable. I know about mediabridge, however I am looking for something longer. It needs to be minimum of 8ft. It needs to be a high speed charging cable. Data is nice but not necessary. HTC's OEM cable is amazing, but I need a cable which is at least 8ft. I have looked at previous forums for this and have not found anything, that is why I am posting. PRICE IS NOT A CONCERN, I'll pay $20 for such a cable, it just needs to be good and high quality and have rapid charging. Thanks.

I am looking for a really long charging cable. I know about mediabridge, however I am looking for something longer. It needs to be minimum of 8ft. It needs to be a high speed charging cable. Data is nice but not necessary. HTC's OEM cable is amazing, but I need a cable which is at least 8ft. I have looked at previous forums for this and have not found anything, that is why I am posting. PRICE IS NOT A CONCERN, I'll pay $20 for such a cable, it just needs to be good and high quality and have rapid charging. Thanks.

Plenty on Amazon. Lengths usually go 3, 6, then 10 feet.
I see a few for 5-8 dollars with prime.
Could also go go monoprice.com
Seems like you didn't search very hard.

Monoprice.com has many lengths of cables at very cheap prices.

You really gotta search some more. Amazon has GREAT cables, but mediabridge is probably the best. I have a few of these myself. How are you saying that you need longer cables? Mediabridge has a 10ft cable and you said you only need a 8ft one? Also, rapid charging is mostly a concern of the charger itself and not the cable (unless the cable quality is absolute crap).
Yeah it may be easy to find long cables, but it's not so easy to find ones that charge as well/fast as the short, authentic HTC ones. I'd also be interested in this - did anyone already buy and experience a quickly charging, long cable?

Placebo. Wires don't charge faster or slower. You might have a better connection or so with a gold plated connector, but it's no different if the wire is from china or if it's an authentic HTC one. There is LITERALLY no difference between the original HTC wire, the mediabridge 10ft wire, 6ft wire, or the coiled 2ft wire all of which I own at least when we're talking about charging time.

There is a difference. My eBay 6ft wire charges about 3-4x slower than the authentic HTC one. 8-9hrs vs 2-3hrs is no placebo.
My bad, I should clarify. There is no difference between real, quality usb wires. Like I said, you brought a crappy cable from eBay. You can google this if you're so inclined. There's no difference between two real usb cables. Also, "real" usb cables often have the usb certification logo on them.
Tldr; buy from a reputable seller that has good reviews. Should be little to no difference in charging.
Protip: Don't buy usb cables longer than 16ft
That's better - I didn't know there was such thing as USB certification. Basically don't trust eBay unless the product is genuine/expensive. Better off going to some big-name company like best buy.
Years ago people were wholly convinced that every and all cables are the same, which is just not true. Somehow some knock-off cables have some slow charging wires or whatever. Don't know how or why, but just a warning that if you buy some random cheap cable off eBay, it might not work nearly as well as a genuine product.

Technically speaking, it all depends on the materials they used and how the wires are enclosed. I would say most of the cables you see are indeed pretty much the same, but I generally do buy things from eBay. It could've just been a fluke. I haven't had to change or buy new usb cables in a while, but in no way would I recommend getting a big-name wire like monster or whatever from your local electronics shop. Amazon should be fine if you read the reviews.
I also recommend Monoprice.com's cables. Variety of cable lengths and great customer service. No point to risk and sift through random eBay or Amazon offerings.
Monoprice 10ft 28/28AWG cable. Using the stock HTC charger. No difference in charging time.

Never cheap out on chargers, been hearing shocking stories lol. Use the USB with the HTC adapter provided. I got a 10ft tangle-free micro USB and works great.

Some USB Cables, while charging (on the same Adapter) generates an note on the screen... that the charge is very slow...
in addition I tested a few USB cables that do charge...but do not transmit data properly...
the Original HTC that came with the phone is some how unique....

The original cable is not unique. It's just a normal microUSB cable. There are charging-only microUSB cables (often included in external battery chargers) and there are also badly-made cables, but the One's cable is nothing special.

Like I said, placebo. All certified wires that charge + usb transfer should have very minimal differences. You either get crappy cables, or you don't. The only problem I've ever had is the connectors falling apart. Never had a usb cable that charged my phone slower using the same adapter and I've had quite a few different cables from eBay, Amazon, etc.

You'd think people would realize why this is important. Imagine how many devices you would eventually kill with wires of varying draw.

People just like to see things that aren't there. Some people just want to convince themselves that the shiny gold plated, carbon fiber monster cables are worth the 5000% or whatever ridiculous markup.

Better check a 5pin USB cable vs a 4pin USB cable... that's probably your problem. I got that all the time with my crappy rosewill cable once that I bought from newegg.
4pin vs 5pin makes a huge difference... especially when an OEM charger is at 2mA rating
