there is no cable that can fix “bricked” v1 contact sensors. the usb cable idea is for those using Home Assistant instead of the Wyze app. Home Assistant can talk to “bricked” Wyze contact sensors without issues (they arent quite “bricked”, see below). its only the Wyze App that refuses to talk to them. If you are interested John, please vote for amending the Wyze App to likewise be able to interface with “bricked” sensors.
to fix contact sensors for use with the Wyze App, you need to buy a TI programmer card, or equivalent
(ppl here in this thread mention a number of alternatives)
