Hello, ever since I got my Evo, there has been this lingering problem with my usb port. After a few weeks, the usb cable that came with it stopped working, unless I pushed it back, which would make it recognize the cord. When I got the phone, I did the 10 per month coverage fee, because the reason why I got a new phone in the first place, was because my pre paid phone crapped out on me, and I didn't want thet to happed again.
So I took it to best buy, and naturaly it worked. So I thought it was just a bad cord. I bought a more expensive cord from radio shack, which in turn had a better click feeling to it when I plugged it in. This cord worked fantasticly...until a few days ago. Same thing, only works if I push the base of the cord back. I thought I broke this one too, in my sleep or something, so I ended up buying another micro usb! Plugged it in, and what do you know....doesn't work.
At this point I am convinced my port is just damaged. There is a little data stick in there, that looks like it could be shifted and broken. So I still am paying that 10 a month fee, and may as well try to put it to use. Now on to the point of why I put this in the modding section (I know, finnally right
)
I have a rooted phone, and if I bring it in to have it exchanged, will I need to un-root it because it voids the warranty. I know for the sprint stores it's adviced, but this is best buy, and I don't know what there policies are. To transfer my data should I just do a nandroid back up and, back up everything on my sd card onto my computer, thus problem solved. Or is there more to it.
Sorry about the long walls of text x(
