FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
It was driving me CRAZY!!!
So is what causes this problems is the dock mode being stuck. When you dock your phone the dock connection completes a specific circuit in the phones USB port that will tell the phone it's in dock mode. This can get stuck when you accidentally push the wall charger into the phone UPSIDE DOWN (Which I did and then got the problem) bending that pin down completing the circuit permanently.
THE FIX:
Take something sharp and/or thin like a knife and push the pin up ever so slightly. DO NOT FORCE it as you will break the pin clean off. Once you disconnect the circuit, you'll see your phone turn it's screen on. That means you did it!
Good luck! And your welcome!

Thank you in advance!
I was able to unmount the Samsung SGSII Cardock!!
As we can see, there is a resistor that enables the Cardock mode. Also, there is no connection of line 3 (D+) and 2 (D-) to usb female plug.
Now I have to read more the "Fun with resistors" thread to know if it is possible to mod the dock.
Does anyone know if it is possible to work like this?
The on/off key will be used to enable/disable the cardock mode. The yellow lines describes the new wires that i have to solder.
I decided to remove the smd board and plug a cable direct to the base. It's not the best solution bas it resolves my main issue (no USB data).

Major problem after screen replacement.

Ok here's the backstory.... The charging port broke loose of the mobo from my Inc so my buddy had a good working Inc with a cracked digitizer so I thought hey I'll just swap that out no big deal. Well did some research and watched some videos and tackled it. Everything went smoothly until after I put the battery in and fired it up...... Not good the screen comes on kind but it's this weird greenish color with 1 bright line at the very top of the screen. Now I've tried switching everything back and forth a few times and no go. Now I have two phones that don't work. Anyone else see this before?

Update,
Now I just turned it on again and the screen stays black. No more greenish screen.
So you took the screen off of yours and put it on your friends? Were they both the same screen type, ie amoled or slcd?
1. Look under the battery of both devices.
2. Below the bluetooth and FC icon you will see "ADR6300VW."
3. If you see a "3" at the end (ADR6300VW3) then it is SLCD. If you do not, then it is AMOLED.
Other than that mabey the ribbon wires got bent and broken, or mabey the wires are not pluged in just right.
Sorry I never responded to this post. I ended up picking up a rezound. They both were the amoled screens. They did look different from eachother when looking from the back side. I thought I was really gentle with the cables but maybe they are just way more fragile than I thought. I'm going to order a new screen and give it another shot. I just can't let my incredible go out like that! :beer:

Req. assistance on E4GT - won't boot and solid blue LED

Whelp. Basically my old E4GT has been given to my mother as I've just gotten a Nexus 5 (mistake...) approximately 4 days ago. To that end I formatted and reflashed recalked 1.4.
It ran just fine for the past 4 days until today when my mother took it to the hospital and turned it off. According to her, she had to enter some pin for something and turned the phone off. Then she took it out again and it never turned back on and had the blue led. She took out the battery and and replaced it and nothing.
I got home, did soft reset and attempted to get the phone to boot in any manner possible (bootloader / recovery) and even connected it to my PC which does not detect the phone.
Here's how it's looking...

Anyone got any ideas?
That looks like the blue light of death. She did something with that PIN she entered. I'm afraid it's bricked.

Any way to recover such as a USB Jig or is it gone for good?

A USB jig is probably the only chance you got.

Nope. USB Jig didn't work... guess my old phone is gone for good...
You can try to jtag it. No guarantee it'll work, but at this point it's really the only option to revive it.
not to sound like a complete moron, but what is a usb jig?

Nexus has grainy screen

Hey all; I got a Nexus 7 this past December and everything was working great until yesterday.
I took it out of my school bag and when I pressed the wake button this happened:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now whenever I wake up my Nexus the same thing happens. Sometimes it goes back to normal after a few seconds, but it continually freezes or has random slow downs.
I reset the device and erased all my data and whatnot, but still the same has happened.
Any suggestions?
What ROM are you running, stock or custom? Try reflashing a ROM (let us know if you aren't familiar with that) in case something's corrupted. Hopefully it isn't something with hardware.
This should be a hardware failure.Take it to the service.
@Pandae: Everything was stock. @GeoVali99: Correct-o, sir!
Ended up being a hardware issue so I'm getting it repaired.
I appreciate the words though!
Hi!
I've got the same problem.
Can someone tell me how to fix that Problem by my self?
I have no guaranty left...
Thanks!

Not a big deal. The LCD is fine. What happened in my case when I got exactly the same screen is that the amber ribbon (LCD to motherboard) seated wrong, and I bent a pin on the motherboard connector out of shape. You open the back cover and reseat it, but make sure you do not damage the pins. In other words do it very gently, do not force anything, and monitor it all with the help of a magnifying glass.

(solution) Ghost touch, ramdom turning on and off screen

You need to make sure its not app, rom, kernel, related, try booting in safe mode to see if problems persits if no then is app related.
If you wipe and reinstal rom and problem persist then this might be help full
Before anything else i sugest you look for zenfone 2 dissambly vids so you get to know what you are going to be doing, it is easy.
Before telling you the solution let me explain my phone symptoms:
1) Ghost touchs, be aware if you have selected show cursor coordinstes or show touch, much of the times this ghost touch doesnt appear.
2) Phone screen starts turning on and off by itself. This is very annoying I tried turning off doble touch to wake but this didnt help.
So what is the solution?
You need to open the back of the phone unscrew everything and then in the charging usb port you need to make sure that the back part of this pice doesnt make contact with the metal back plate. What I did is to use an electrical pice of tape that cut. And simple as that my phone working normal again.
Remeber to screw everything tight as possible.
Pd: i didnt took any pics but im show what part of the phone im referring
Hope this helps have a great day
