Guys, I made a dumb mistake: I plugged a USB-C charger into the OTG port instead of the DC port (original R36s, sure about it).

Now I can't get any USB data connection to work through the OTG port.
I've tried:
- to connect my Android phone (phone doesn't detect any connected device, USB tethering option stays greyed out)

- Connecting to a Linux PC (Ubuntu) – no new network interface or storage device appears at all

- Multiple cables (original phone cable, original iPad USB-C cable) – same result

- Both ports on the R36S – only the DC port charges, neither shows data activity

The LED does light up when I plug a cable into the OTG port, so there's power going through, but zero data recognition from any device I connect to.

Has anyone else fried their OTG port by accidentally using it for charging? Is it a known issue with the R36S? Is there any way to fix it, or is the data circuit permanently damaged?

Thanks for any help

Hey everyone,

I just flashed ArkOS R3XS V2.0 (11072025) on my genuine R36S today, only to find out that the repository was archived on March 24, 2026 and that dArkOS has officially replaced ArkOS.

I'm a bit confused about the current state of things:

1. Is dArkOSRE-R36 considered stable enough for daily use? For those who switched from ArkOS R3XS to dArkOSRE, was it worth it?

2. Any noticeable improvements in emulator performance (especially N64 and Saturn)?

Any advice appreciated
thanks
