USB Connector not working - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

hello,
my Xperia P's Usb port is now working it's charging but couldn't connect to any PC or OTG Media ....
as PC connection not working so i m unable to flash my phone in flashboot mode.
i tried to consult to service center guys they say as my device is rooted they can't help me fix this problem....
i don't want to loose my phone please help me.... every thing in my phone is brand new and original but as i use custom kernel & rom ...so they are not accepting my phone ....
is there any other way i can use to flash my device to stock ... so i can get it fixed .
i can turn on my phone but it shows no sim no wifi ...
please help...
thanking you

Have you checked that flash mode is not working?
Is it charging when connected to the PC, try another USB cable.
No wifi wuth and without SIM installed?
How this problem began, have you dropped your phone or installed some software?

yes i checked .. flash mode is not working not even fastboot mode ...
yes it's charging ...i tried 4-5 different cables ...i also checked cables with my brother's phone they were working fine...
it started a week before everything was working great i tried to connect my device i thought it would b new rom's problem so it will b fixed... so i try to flash other rom but accidentally i formatted system after wiping data and factory reset ... but that rom hangs as it says unable to mount system...
i try the older rom it flashed but in about phone there's baseband version is unknown, wifi was not turning on and i can't gain root access via terminal emulator or titanium backup or any other root app...
i thought to revert everything back via flashtool but my device couldn't be connected in flash mode... green light goes on n turned to red again and battery start to charge ...
sorry for wrong english ...
but thanks for your interest and reply ...

@miteshlakhwani
Did flashtool worked on the same PC before, I mean to make sure it's not driver issue, or USB 3 portm and the phone is shut down with power + volume up untill you feel 3 vibrations.

What do you see in flashtool log when trying to connect in fastboot mode?
Make sure the phone is off before you do.

i also try to get it diagnosed at local street repair shop as sony service center guys behaved really bad with me ... not even check my device they turn it on instead of sony logo it shows nemesis kernel logo so they say your device is rooted we can't accept it ...
i felt v.bad ...
local street repair guy told me to leave my device with hi for a day or 2 ... but i don't trust them so i couldn't do that...
he told me that port is ok it might b an ic chip which get's fungus or any kind of short circuit is happening there only ...
i m totally confused
thanks for ur reply

Just open flashtool lwindow, no flash anything, and connect your device in fastboot mode.
Anything in the log?
It might be the USB connection, I tried to fastboot connecting to my charger, the led turn on blue for 5 seconds then go to charging.
Same with flash mode.

Looks like hardware problem to be, either the connecter itself or chip.
How much would it cost to replace it, or maybe can they check connectivity.
If you enter CWM and connect it to the PC is there any indication it's connected?

i also tried that too in CWm too there's no sign of any connection in pc ...
service center guy said that replacing port is not possible so they had to replace complete board ... n that will cost around 80% of cost of device....
but they won't do it as my device is rooted ...

This happened with my S3 just recently and they swore it wasn't the USB connector if it would charge. I called T-Mobile and got upset and told them I plug in an identical S3 and it shows immediately with mine it won't not even in download mode. They swapped it out for me.

If possible just flash stock firmware via cwm. And send to service center
Correct me if I'm wrong

And how exactly are you going to put it on the device, with no wifi or ysb connection?
Unless by a chance bluetooth is working.

I think even if your device back to stock rom the service center not going to fix it,Why?Because flash a custom kernel mean that u already unlocked the bootloader.If going back to stock rom fix your phone that ok but if not you can't relocked your bootloader that still the same

No SD card, and you can relock BL, but not without flashtool.

could be the battery. removing it for a couple of seconds or a minute if you like. do some initial charging like 5 to 10 mins or so then try it again. ive seen a couple of post that it worked that way.

Its from thread : [Q] Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 mini pro DEAD by gustavo.momente

Broken USB port :O

I think i broke my USB port of my phone :O
Im able to charge the phone
But i cannot put the phone in mass storage, i even tried to do so in CWM
Every time i connect it i get error: Malfunctioned USB devices or something
Now i cant flash or copy files or lock my bootloader :O
Any way to fix it ?? :O
or will i have to send it to Sony ?
What i was thinking was to send the phone to them saying i bricked it, ie failed sftware upgrade
will it work ??
And i can charge phone using that data cable but cant use it for flashing or mounting SD card, it doesnt work
EDIT: Re flashed phone, required use of another BB cable
The bottom line is:
Either the drops caused malfunction
Or the Ubuntu installer
~~My phonesworking fine now after full reflash
So it was definitely Ubuntu
What do you guys think ??
It working fine after a reflash, so m guessing Ubuntu must've messed up
EDIT 2 : Older USB cables working after reflash !!
SO ITS 100% UBUNTU APP which caused this ~_~
Can someone PM the developer
~https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zpwebsites.ubuntuinstall&hl=en
Try with a different USB cable.. maybe it'll work!
How did you broke it? I mean after doing what this happened ? software modding ?
Also try with a different cable.
Wth. Me two but I can use android commander and fastboot but no mass storage

After trying Ubuntu on android I cud not connect my sd card to pc in msc mode but mtp worked ,after reboot msc worked again. so maybe tray to take a look in that before anything else.

Will relock boot loader and ship it to Sony
Will they know i had an unlocked BL ?

I am not sure,but yeah this can be the issue since it was connected to main power line and little electric short can do the trick for the port:/.I guess try sending it to the service center.About the boot loader you can relock only if u used official method right? if official method was used then in logs your imei will be saved means they will detect it.But here most of shop guys even got no idea what is root,boot loader(terms) :/ and since you are from our neighbor country I assume things are not much different and they won't notice unlocking the bl.
Also try with another memory card,just in case.
People at service centre of sony are mad! They wont even figure out if you're rooted or your bootloader is locked! If you give them your phone for some software problem.. They just format the phone n give it back to you everytime! They don't know what's root and bootloader.. And since you have hardware prob.. They probably won't check anything related to your software.

[Q] Sony Xperia Neo L not getting switched on

My mobile Sony Xperia Neo L is not getting switched on. It got turned off on its own. My mobile was under the below explained situation before it stopped working.
1. I was getting alerts saying - LOW PHONE MEMORY IS AVAILABLE delete some data. It had 43 MB left in phone memory.
2. Memory card was also full the day before.
3. I was not able to install any applications.
4. Since I have activated the auto update for few applications like Whatsapp, google maps etc. For them also i used to get alerts saying - INSUFFICIENT STORAGE IS AVAIALABLE TO UPDATE the software.
5. I always keep Wi-Fi on in my mobile. (If any open Wi-Fi is available mobile will get updates)
6. Battery was more than 30% charged.
All of the above may be the reasons for software problem.
No time in the past phusical harm happened to the phone, Since i bought in 2012 August.
I had gone through Sony Support Center to repair, but still it didnt worked.
Could any one help me to solve the problem ?

One last try you can give... Connect your phone to the charger and check if the led turns on.. Or else connect USB to the phone... While plugging it to the computer, hold the back button.... Check for the led light to turn GREEN... If this happens, then nothing wrong has happened to your phone.. Else no one can help you... PM me for further help..

If led turns green than install flash tool to your PC, download latest ftf file for your phone and flash the ftf to your phone. But flash not whole rom parts, only flash kernel within that ftf.

it doesn't matters where you are... Download flashtool... Install it... Then you need a firmware file for your phone... Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2047914.. Download whichever firmware file you want... .587 is recommended... If you want you can have .631 also... after downloading the .ftf file, place it in firmwares folder of the flashtool installed folder... open flashtool.. Click on lightning icon.. It will ask 'flashmode' or 'fastboot'.. select flashmode... Then select the .ftf which you placed now.. Uncheck 'no final verification' option... Then connect your phone to the PC by holding the back button on ur phone... After the flashing is finished, switch on your phone... its done..

One last try you can give... Connect your phone to the charger and check if the led turns on.. Or else connect USB to the phone... While plugging it to the computer, hold the back button.... Check for the led light to turn GREEN... If this happens, then nothing wrong has happened to your phone.. Else no one can help you... PM me for further help..

Switch off the phone.. Hold the "back" button and connect your phone to computer.. The LED should turn GREEN... It means that computer is recognising your phone.. Otherwise there might b some problem in the drivers or in the phone.. I cannot help you unless you can explain what you did before your phone entered into such state...

If LED is turning on, then its a good news that your phone is not dead. If nothing is getting displayed on the screen, then you might have fried up the internal circuitry. I have ended up with it. It cost me 25% of mobile's cost to get it repaired again.

Xperia Neo L bricked ....
Hi All,
I think i have bricked my xperia neo l to a pretty bad shape.....Please help me ...
1)I rooted the phone sucessfully with the kit developed by DoomsLord
2)I installed the cwm recovery, took backup.
3)I did not flash the kernel but went ahead with the ICS revolution ROM Xperia NEO L:crying:
4)Installation of ICS went fine but the phone was stuck in the boot mode. Sony screen used to come and device used to boot......
Here is the stupid part..
5) I tried to go to recovery it didn`t work.. I thought maybe the kernel is a problem..I used the ICS kernel and flashed it.
Nothing works now...When i connect my cell to the laptop windows says device not recognized..I am trying to go to flashboot mode not working...Is there a way to fix it ? If yes please provide me any pointers...

Dear friend.....
First,charge ur device at least 2hours....
When u charge ur phone,try to read carefully every step how install the custom rom u want....
After that...
-Flash full firmware via flashtool (flashmode)
Let ur phone on first...
And after ur phone works,its up to u maybe u want to continue another step to install custom rom u want....
But dont forget to flash the custom kernel recommended by the dev first before u do another step....
(flash custom kernel via fastboot)...
Hope it help and good luck.....

Sony Xperia S Bricked

I was using XZXperience 2 on my Sony Xperia S, and then sony companion detected that i had firmware 6.1.A.1.45 and 6.1.A.55 was available, so just to give it a try, I installed that update, but that is a failed update, it says unfortunately music player stopped working, or unfortunately xperia keyboard stopped working etc. The main problem is that my system does not recognize my XS anymore, it says USB Device Not Recognized, so I cant connect it to Flashtool or PC Companion for repair. The Sad part is that I cant even connect it in Flash Mode, I tried a hard reset by using power button and volume up buttons, but no use. I should mention that once it recognized my phone when i turned off my laptop and removed its battery too, after restarting both phone and laptop, flashtool detected that phone was connected with USB Debugging OFF, though it was on, but as a try, I unchecked USB Debugging and then checked it again, and it worked. Now my Xperia S was connected in USB debugging mode, I tried to install busybox, rooted it, and tried to install CWM recovery,flashtool said that busy box was installed and phone was rooted, but it could not install recovery and I used another tool to install recovery,which had a bat file and it installs recovery automatically. But it didnt. After restarting my phone, the same issue appeared again, My PC does not recognize my Xperia S, tried previous procedure several times, but no use. Cant even repair it as my set cant go in flash mode. What can I do? have I bricked my Xperia S? I`m in Pakistan and there is no official Sony Mobile franchise as they dont launch their flagships in Pakistan. Please help me, considering I`m used to with rooting,flashing etc. How can I connect my phone in flash mode? Thank you.
Thanx

It looks like another strike from the productors. They usually send you malicious updates which cause your device to stop working. This only happens to rooted phones which run custom roms. And since the rooted users only flash their roms in zip format, sending an OTA update patch(designed for stock rom) to a custom rom can only lead to a malfunction. I am not sure whether or not sony did that on purpose, but the truth is that after installing a custom rom NEVER do OTA updates(unless they are from the rom's developer).
If you want an update check your rom's thread and there may be new flashable versions.
As for making your device work, the only thing you can do is to call technical support or go to a phone service(in my country they are called gsm services, and they fix mostly everything, both hardware and software. Some even claim to be able to fix water damage) but given that your warranty is voided, you will have to pay for the reparations. I guess they will only do a re-soft(delete everything, and install the stock version, you may lose your root, i am not sure here.)
I hope this helps, this is how we fix things like this in our country, so it will work in your case too, hopefully.

Thanx for your advice. I was almost hopeless, but after spending continous 16 hours, I`m now able to get a solution. I got another data cable, removed battery of my laptop, and made a hard reset to my phone, and after 10-15 min I tried again, and Thanx GOD, it detected my phone, so I hurriedly start repair my phone option and connected my phone in flash mode which was successful and that was not less than a miracle, because i`ve been repeating same procedure and it was not working, this time luckily it worked, now i`m using stock rom with firmware 6.1.A.2.55. Now I would either wait for official Sony JB Update or I would flash a custom ROM XZXperience 2, which I found awsome, as it had no bugs, and it improved battery and sound quality was significantly imrpove + Bravia Engine 2 with improved graphics. I would ask users to not to give up hope, there is always a solution to every problem.

Get a new data cable, fortunately almost all phone now a days have same data cable, u can try data cable of some HTC, Samsung, Blackberry or even Iphone`s data cable. Secondly, u must turn off your PC, and remove its power source, if it is laptop then also remove its battery. Then after 5-10 minutes, turn on your PC and connect the phone. Also try installing drivers, which u can by using PC Companion. You can also install drivers by using FlashTool. Download it and extract it, then go to the installation folder and look for folder "Drivers" open it and u will see an exe file. Just run it and select Xperia S and follow the instructions.
maybe not new usb cable sometimes usb port is broken
Hey, I had the same problem a few time ago, you can try to restore with flashtool, if you can still get in to flash mode

There's nothing strange: you are using a custom kernel and you have locked bootloader
It's impossible it could work
You need to flash official stock rom to boot up

Since you CAN'T use custom kernels with locked bootloader (and so, no cm10)
You only need to flash stock rom and then relocking your bootloader

I am also having the same problem
I have sony Xperia S. I updated to the latest stock firmware version(6.2.B.1.96). after this update I rooted my phone using old kernel .200 and update the firmware's kernel again to stock after that I locked the boot loader again. Now I can't use memory stick that I used to use before with OTG cable. And now, if I am trying to enter flash mode by pressing volume down key, the led turn green for a while only about 10 sec while this was happening, my pc say that USB device not recognized. So, now I can't use flashtool or sony update service tool(SUS) as well.
Now I am using stock .96 rom with no error but I want to install CWM and also want to unlock boot loader again to test some custom roms.
Pls help me what I have to do and what should. I am now in Delhi.

To unlock the bootloader you need to enter fastboot (blue led) with vol+ during the boot, not vol-
Or you can also reboot the phone from adb with
adb reboot bootloader
If phone still doesn't stick to fastboot, it has to be a driver problem
There are lots of guide on the procedure (which is really hard on windows 8)

Yes I use windows 8.1
now. I can't use memory stick with OTG cable but I can only use mouse or keyboard with OTG cable. I don't know why?
I can access fastboot mode but I can't access flash mode. pc said that device not recognized. so, I think it is device error.

Bricked my phone - please help!
Hi,
I think I bricked my Xperia S. I already had cyanogen 10 on my phone, so I thought I could just flash the new Cyanogen 11 4.4.2 ROM and GAPPS over top. I followed the instructions but I skipped the Fastboot step. I cleared the cache and system and then went ahead with the ROM and GAPPS. Once the ROM and GAPPS were installed, I selected "Reboot" and the phone turned off and now it won't boot at all. If I hold the power button, I get a faint vibration and if I hold the up volume and power I get the 3 vibration sequence but no boot. Please help!

Bricked (i think so)..... No Display, No download Mode, Nothing! I tried to bring it to download Mode by USB JIG..... But still no Luck! Please Help me friends! (Pardon me if I posted in wrong place!

if you can't get into download mode in any way, your phone is bricked. There is nothing you can do now.

Here in India, A local shop owner told me that he could replace the motherboard for 3000RS (50$ approx) or Revive my hardbricked phone by repairing it for 1500RS (25$ Approx). It will be double cost if I go to official Samsung Care.

Did you try changing your battery? Try to find a similar Samsung Battery and boot into download mode then. The boot.img is the kernel, and if it didn't flash, the ROM/Stock ROM should still boot up, or at the maximum should give you a bootloop. I still feel it is some battery fallacy, since the processes which you followed don't have any such errors.
Regards.

hi, as i have seen your posts you have written that you do have tried jig, and no results. try to take out battery and connect the jig and put the battery, i believe this the last chance you might have through jig. Or just jtag it for 25$ it is not that expensive, let me know what happens with jig.
