Help! How to repair a bootloop X10 with broken USB

,My phone is dead now,because i flashed custom rom with the wrong custom kernel then after that, system got error, the SD card cant be mounted, SIM card not functioning, i cant even enter xrec mode,it resets itself automatically after few minutes, the worst part is that the USB port is no more recognized by the computer, charging become slower than usually....
i got my phone repaired twice, the USB port has been changed,but its still cant be detected, SE authorized repair center told me that the mainboard need to be replaced, and the price of the MB is almost the price of a new X10, what can i do without changing the MB? i love my X10。。。。
Anybody can help me?
This has been covered before. Search before posting in the future.
As for your problem, search for "Flashtool", and use it to repair your phone. Alternatively, use SEUS or PC Companion. If they don't work, then you might be in bigger trouble than I originally thought.
i cant use flashtool and SEUS bec. of the broken usb port. and its impossible to be repaired, any alternative way to repair it?
If xRecovery and Flashtool/SEUS doesn't work, and your USB port is definitely broken, then a new motherboard may be your only option unfortunately.
I have the same problem I think I have to sell my Xperia in parts.

[Q] unrecognized device issue

Hi guys,
Hopefully someone can help,
I rooted my SGS2 a while back with Lightening ROM ver 1.5, being happy with it there was no need to update or change the ROM.
I thought I would try Cyanogenmod Mod however so far I have run into nothing but problems.
Trying to install the ROM via CWR results in a error E: Can't mount /sdcard
Trying to install through ROM manager results in failed to verify whole-file signature error.
A fix is to update my kernal/CWR version, here is where the issue is,
Windows does not detect my phone, as soon as I plug it it comes up unrecognized device USB device not usable.
This happens on both Windows and Linux, also a second PC, my wifes stock SGS2 phone works fine, connects and is detected by Odin.
Odin obviously will not detect my phone as windows does not install the driver ect, this also happens on Linux with Heimdall.
Has anyone run into this issue and been able to fix it?
Searching the forums I found the following threads however they were not much help.

Have you tried just flashing another kernel with ClockWorkMod. And have you tried to fix the permissions in the recovery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Thanks for the above suggestions, It turned out to be the micro USB connection on my phone is faulty, if I connect the cable and hold it there ODIN will detect my phone and I have managed to flash it back to a stock ROM, however now I have another problem lol
The phone had my exchange emails synced and part of our IT policy is the phone needed to be encrypted, when the phone booted it still asks for the passcode which is fine but fails to decrypt the data and does not go any further, is there a way I can wipe the phone? wiping via CWR does not wipe the passcode or data.
I can't get into the phone so I can not factory reset that way, also I can not use the dialler codes as it won't work on the emergency call screen lol
Is there a way I can wipe via ODIN?
Thank you in advance!!!

Save data without USB Debugging but broken screen & digitizer

hello there
so, i have a sony xperia z2 with a broken screen and digitizer. only the backlight is working and it seems to be a broken fuse (see this thread), so no way changing the screen could help. now i'm trying to save the data but every way seems to be an impasse eventually...
first thing i tried was to connect the phone to my screen with an otg adapter but i didn't get any visible result. i found an article saying that one needs to activate screen mirroring first but that was for the z2 tablet. does that apply for the phone, too or should it work and the adapter is just broken?
2nd thing i tried was to flash custom recovery hoping i could later pull the data with adb. i followed the instructions to unlock the bootloader here but appearently usb debugging needs to be activated for that, too? at least fastboot doesn't recognize any device so far.
i also tried mirroring the screen on my computer with seven-square but that too needs usb debugging.
is there any way to get the data off the phone? anything that could be worth trying?
i'm currently working on a linux mint pc but if anyone has suggestions that only work with windows that would be helpful, too since i also got windows 7.
thanks for all effort!
p.s: i'm new to this board but i promise i will regularly follow this thread and won't leave without letting you know if the problem got resolved...

Android Stuck in Charging only mode - No connection to computer

Hello Everyone
I am putting my problem in this general section with the hope to ask for help to more people compared to the Mate 8 section where not a lot of people go these days.
Since a while I am not able to connect my phone to a laptop. If I connect it to a laptop it just starts charging but nothing else. I have tried everything like:
Changing Cables (tried more than 5. I dont have the original anymore)
Changing Laptops
Changing the USB port of the phone itself
Updating Drivers
Installing Hisuite (current version 5.0.3.300)
Restore phone to factory settings
Complete formatting
Updating to the latest version (Current version Nxt-L29C185B582)
Changing the USB debugging/ Connection (MTP/PTP/etc)
And what not
The problem is, it doesnt get detected on the computer and cant connect to adb as well. All I want is to unlock bootloader and Install TWRP and Magisk. I have the unlock bootloader code but no way to unlock it since I cant connect.
Can anyone help me in fixing this stupid problem ? It is getting frustrating. If there is a hardware issue, what part needs to be replaced? Any help would be appreciated.

Go to the Settings of your phone---> About phone----> Build number tap this 7 to 8 times-----> Developers option is enabled----> back to settings ----> go to developers option ----> enable USB debugging.
When you connect to the phone to the laptop you will find an icon on top of the screen of your phone with a USB mark "like a trident", pull down the top menu and find the USB connection tab, (like changing the sim card if you intend to call through a specific card) e.g quoted, double tap the USB tab to obtain options ---> 3 options 1) MTP 2)PTP 3) USB charging only----> select the first option MTP (Media transfer protocol).
Now connect to the laptop you will find exclamation marks in the device manager of your laptop. Load the appropriate drivers on your computer and viola! this will establish connection with the device you are having. if you find difficulty in installing USB drivers, search the thread "Attempt to load USB drivers for Micromax E484 on win XP is a fiasco" in this forum. You will find the solution for USB drivers

Nope. Doesnt happen
When i connect with the laptop, my laptop doesnt even make that sound for the connection.
What is the model and OS version of the device and the model and OS version of the computer? According to your symptoms your phone appears to be in option 3) USB charging only. The phone will not be detected by your laptop or the like(Computer) in this mode. Merely remains in a charging state. Are you certain the option 1) is picked MTP? If the phone is not detected there appears to be some hardware failure, try another USB port to connect to the laptop. if all else fail a service technician will pinpoint the fault. It may perhaps be a data transmission failure of the devices port to the interior of the phone. This is merely an assumption.
best remedy would be a service technician.
Hope this helps

I have tried changing the usb charging only to all possible options but it still is the same. I tested in Linux and when I connect the phone nothing shows up in the logs. It's like it's not being connected . I have tried changing the usb port itself from the phone but it remained the same.. can the flex cable be a problem ? Mate series was never launched in India so I don't have any help from the service centre. I have to order the spare from eBay.com so there is no qualified technician who can help.. that's why I have to fix it myself somehow..
Thank you for your help

I quite doubt the cable will be the culprit as your device charges the battery while in an established connection with the laptop. As you state the phone USB port was replaced, it could be a some glitch before the USB port in the device where there is an interruption in the data transmission signal that cannot be detected by your laptop.
Could you boot your device, computer and connect the two and take a snapshot of your device (whilst connected to the laptop) and paste the same in the forum?
Perhaps visual cue could be better at dealing such mishaps.

Yes of course. It is connected to a computer now. You can see it getting charged but that's about it

Can it be something because of some wrong flash ? This problem has survived through 2 versions and 1 system upgrade through firmware finder .. and a complete format

Your USB trident icon is not indicated on the device, If you were to receive power from the laptop the trident would be displayed on top of the screen, even for charging the battery. The power source for your device appears to from other than the laptop.
I have pasted my device after connecting to the computer and the second icon from the top left is the USB Trident icon indicating connection with my laptop. Have taken the snapshot of the menu that I was describing .
I strongly feel you have a hardware failure rather than a simple fix and would require the help of a technician (ordinary if professional is unavailable). Am skeptic you could mend that on your own unless you are proficient in electronics. This mishap is not due to flashing wrongly too, unless you have changed the stock ROM with some custom ROM which has some bug that affect the USB alone.
Take the assistance of a technician whether professional or less is my counsel
Thank you

I did flash a different rom .. but then back to stock recently.
I can do basic electronics but the if the problem lies in Mobo .. then nothing can be done .. as I don't have the spares available in India. But I would hate to lose this phone as it was a perfect fit for my needs

Then the question of wrong flash or ROM issue does not arise

If you do not have spares is best left alone rather than tampering with it and rendering the device useless if any untoward incidents tends to occur.
But I would hate to lose this phone as it was a perfect fit for my needs
Send to the vendor directly if you have warranty for the device stating its complaints or request your relative or friends who live in the area where you bought your phone to hand it to the vendor or service technician and bear its expenses

Is there a way to unlock bootloader somehow without connecting to usb ? That would also solve the purpose.. I want to root it for some of the things to work and with the latest upgrade to latest version I lost the unlocked bootloader and root.. if somehow I can unlock and root .. I should be fine without the usb connection to computer.. but I have ran out of ways
Does Kingroot work for you?
I mean did u try it or u just want magisk?
If u didn't, kingroot may be able to root ur device and unlock ur bootloader, then u can flash TWRP using rasher.. & make a backup BTW...
After that, try using the adb sideload in TWRP to test ur connection with ur computer.
TWRP for ur device : (q.gs/DxuAH)
There is a way to unlock bootloader without USB via developers option.
Go to settings-----> About phone-----> Build number ( Tap this option around 7 or 8 times) till developers option is enabled------> go back to settings-----> developers option-----> OEM unlock option (Enable this option) to unlock the bootloader.

This gives me an frp unlock and not a phone unlock.. still not able to root
There is no FRP unlock.

There is no FRP unlock, to circumvent FRP you need to factory reset or flash your firmware. The above quotation was to unlock the boot loader as you cannot access through your computer. Your sole option to unlock boot loader was through the above directions.
Moreover, King root application never ask for boot loader to be unlocked. Although a little unstable this is the initial program to root any device. Once you have the TWRP setup then you could switch to Super Su etc. according to your preference.
Could you paste your developers option snapshot here...

Your phone has not installed TWRP duly, therefore it boots straight to the system. Search again in this XDA forum, with your pnone name and model number to obtain instructions
