You're buggered then, even if you have the stock kernel you need your phone in flashmode (which involves connecting it to your pc via usb).
Apart from wiggling the cable to try and get it to connect you're pretty screwed try a sony ericsson or samsung cable aswell because these work on the mini/pro and I thought my USB was dead but it turned out to be the cable

Tried to flash my phone from 2.1 back to 1.6 and now it wont turn on... I can't get it into flash mode because I have a dodgy frickin' USB port on my phone...
I take the battery out, re insert it, press power button and it vibrates, flashes the led and then nothing.
Please help
Thanks in advance

Just reflash your phone. There are plenty of resources in this forum.
Try changing your USB cable first.
And I'm just wondering why you'd want to downgrade from 2.1 to 1.6.
If you're sure there's a problem with the USB connector on the phone then your best bet is to take it to your local SE support.

I cant get into flash mode! I was downgrading so i could take it back and get the USB Port repaired
In that case take it to Sony Ericsson's repair center as it is in its current state if you're certain the USB port is preventing the connection to the PC.
Hi
I have a very annoying problem:
My phone no longer registers when I plugin the usb-cable. It doesn't ask whether to go into usb-mode nor does it display that usb debugging is on. It is only possible to charge it and not to sync data.
Therefore I'd like to flash it back to a stock rom so I can get it repaired under the warranty. And since SEUS can't find my phone when it is connected, I need to find another way to do so.
So is it possible?
have u tried flashtool yet?
its under the development section

Have you first tried the following :-
1) Different usb ports some laptops and desktops have front/side usb ports so try a rear one
2) Different usb cable (if its the charge/usb cable that came with the phone it could be damaged or the wires bent/cracked due to over use plugging into charge and then using it as a data cable
3) Different PC just incase something is wrong with your own (corrupt driver etc)
I would try these things before you start if it will connect but only charge I'm guessing that the cable is maby broken
you could also try staring the X10i in safe mode power off power on and soon as it vibrates hold the down part of the volume button and keep holding this down until the phone boots up
This will give you a pretty basic mode (safe mode) with stock applications running no market downloads etc and then try connecting your usb cable up see if it works then ... you could have a rogue application that uses the usb for sync function like a media player etc!?
Wow, rude much. I was offering a solution that worked for me when I was having an identical issue. Because I was able to charge, flash mode still worked. Also, as stated above, changing USB ports can help. No need to get snarky

JimmyX10 is right, however..
The phone is ONLY able to charge over USB.. No flashing capabilities so far..
I've tried SEUS and the flashtool..
I've also tried:
3 different USB cables (also tested okay on my Optimus X2)
3 different computers
And a bunch of different USB ports..
BUMP
Does anyone have any good ideas?
Yes you can flash your rom without PC....
1-hope ur fone is rooted
2-xRecovery installed
3-Search dev section for stock rom xRecovery installation or request to upload the same for U..
4-transfer the xrecovery .zip file to ur card by card reader.
5-flash it through xRecovery...
I believe it will solve ur prob....
Try this guide:

i think theres no problem as long as you got your phone rooted and have the stock rom stored in your computer. then you can transfer the rom to your phone via an sd card reader. lastly install it using xrecovery. problem solved
Friends I have a big problem, my xperia X10i suffered damage at
I can not connect USB to my computer, the phone has android
1.6 and want to upgrade at least to 2.1 but do not know where to find a
generic rom to do the update without connecting the phone to USB
computer.
I'm sorry to hear.
But you'll need a functional USB port and USB cable to update your phone software, so I suggest that you contact your retailer to leave it for service.

See if you can resold the micro USB pin connector.. or take the phone to an official center.. i guess that is the only way. unless that you make a root and installing the Xrecovery flash the rom from there, you can use a custom rom too
The problem is how to load the ROM with everything inside the micro SD card
Can you charge your battery with USB cable?
If so, you should be able to connect your X10 to your PC via USB.
Otherwise you should return your X10 to the Sony Repair Center.
If you want to load a rom you need a rooted X10 and "xrecovery"apk.
To make a root without Flashtool and USB cable, i think you can do with "z4root"apk.
You can also use "rom manager"apk to load a rom in SD card.
If you are on the stock 1.6, then I'll recommend that you take it to a service center and check, since it's probably a hardware problem (common in X10).
hi guys help and advice much needed.. ok so i dropped my phone in water, it worked apart from i couldn't get signal and the charging port is broke, which is okay for now.

What "method"? Do you mean you used mobile odin?
It just sounds like the kernel you have doesnt support the rom or you flashed wrong stock rom etc. This is not "bricked".
A bricked device is when your phone will not physically power on or system will not boot and its not possible to enter/use download/recovery modes.
It sounds like your going to need to get your USB port fixed so you can flash correct kernel/rom via download mode, and no there is no magic words you can use.
Your gonna have to change the usb flex, that's the proper name for what you are calling "Charging Port".
You can still go into Download Mode right? You just can't plug your device to your PC.
You might possibly need a new phone

Usb flex change.

You don't know what it is because you are calling it "Charging port"
Hi, my S3 I9300 has brocken USB port, can charge but PC won't detect it and when I put it in Download mode Odin does not see it neither (PC does detect my S2 on sync and Download mode).
It has stock 4.1.2, unrooted, is there any method to install/upgrade to a different ROM via stock recovery? maybe a modded stock ROM to flash from the SDCard? maybe a modded OTA update ROM?
Thanks in advance
Help need to find the thread : Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Stock recovery can not flash custom rom!
What is the problem with usb?
Drivers are installed?
USB debugging turned on?

AFAIK you can't so you might wanna check your drivers to get the download mode working.

Hi, I've double check/install the drivers and cables, the PC Odin detects my S2 I727 and T989 but not this I9300 (tried Debugg ON and OFF), I think the I9300's USB port is broken, it can charge but not sync.
Accepting the possibility that your USB port is damaged, is there any reason you can't use mobile odin?

ROOT is required to use Mobile Odin!

If you can charge but not sync, then it's time to get the good news: get a new USB cable to work with and you'll be fine. I also had this problem and with a new cable, odin was able to recognize my sgs3. Good luck!

Any site to get a working cable? I tested Samsung U6 cable, Motorola cable and some other cables, all detect my S2 (T989, i727) but not this S3.(i9300).
So if it charges it must detect a S3 in download mode? or is possible that it does not detect download mode even if it charges?
have you tried different USB ports on pc, As well as different cables?
Go to service and change charging port module from your phone..

I had the same thing with my i9300 i.e. charging is fine however no sync and I detected it just 1 day after my warranty had expired. Anyway what I did was to clean the USB port to get it working back. Here's what I did, First remove the battery from the phone. Now put a fine awl pin in the USB port to remove all the lint from it. While putting it there make sure there is no/minimal contact of pin with the circuit (which act as USB jack) in the port.
Next i put some acetone on cotton and forced it inside usb port with the pin and make sort of wiping motion of cotton with pin to clean the circuit board. After that I take another piece of cotton and put WD40 on it and do the same thing as above. The Next thing, put the battery back and the USB port is working like a charm
Needless to say, if you do decide to follow my method for cleaning the port do it at your own risk. There is always the risk of damaging the phone further when you do such kind of things.
Thanks to all, the issue was: loosen port, port replaced now I got it rooted using the same PC with same USB cables I used for my S2.
Who invented this weak usb port???
