USB Host Shield «USB state machine reached error state» issue

Hello!
I bought USB Host shield for experiments. But it looks like it's broken. Perhaps there are people who can help to understand this issue.

My environment:

  • Arduino USB Host Shield (3421EE Chip) (Photo High resolution)
  • Arduino UNO R3 ATMEGA16U2
  • USB Host Shield library 1.6.2 (github com /felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0)
  • Arduino IDE 1.8.19

What's happening?
When I try to read any connected USB (flash drives, mouses, keyboards). I have some errors or nothing happening. USB Descriptor is null.

USB Host Shield, USB Host Shield CHIP, Arduino UNO, soldered 3.3V, 5V, 5V photos are available here: LINK MIX: 4 URLs are contained (can't share in topic due to forum rules for new users)

I open and upload default testing sketch board_qc.ino (examples/board_qc/board_qc.ino) and have this error in last step:

In general, I get the error:
USB state machine reached error state

P.S for experiments I soldered 3.3V, 5V, 5V. Maybe that's why nothing works?

I need to order a new one due hardware problems? I would be very grateful for any comment.

The soldering looks OK. There more solder than needed but I suspect this is only a cosmetic problem.

The serial monitor output looks OK. I would plug in a simple USB device such as a thumb drive, keyboard, or mouse. The test program should dump some information about the device such as vendor ID and product ID. Avoid gaming keyboards with lots of RGB LEDs. They can draw lots of current (100s of mA) so can cause power problems.

Ignore the GPIO test fail which is actually expected.

Yes, I agree that the soldering could have been done more accurately. But this is my first time)

Tried a few simple devices (USB Flash Drive, Mouse, Keyboard and all devices work well in everyday life). Unfortunately I still get the same error. "USB state machine reached error state" Here is a small demo: https://youtu.be/2dSP6L5aYIk

Thank you for your attention to the problem, I appreciate it.

At the end of this message is what I see running board_qc with a thumb drive plugged in just for reference. Since the long SPI test passes, the Uno and USB host boards are definitely communicating. This means 3.3V is working because the USB host chip max3421 runs on 3.3V. Can you check using a multimeter that 5V is really on the USB host connector? Alternatively, if a USB optical mouse is plugged in the LED on the bottom should light up.

Another thing to try is to touch a soldering iron to the 5V pads (there are two) to melt the solder then let it cool again. This fixes cold solder joints.

I am not sure what else could be wrong.

Soldered again 3.3V, 5V, 5V. (Photo)

Unfortunately, I don't have a multimeter yet, but I'm sure everything is fine with the power supply. Checked through the charging doctor. I get 5V on USB output and also the mouse bottom's led is lighting.

Unfortunately same result:

«USB state machine reached error state»

Thanks for the correct log, I hope I get one someday.
