Charging port/USB issues - Xperia Z3v General

So, about a month ago my charging port stopped working. There's no indication that anything is plugged in at all. The contacts on the inside look intact and clean. I have never even tested the device under water so I'm sure there's no water damage. I have been using a qi charger since.
So my first question is.. Since it's out of warranty and I do have some cosmetic damage to the phone it would take the remainder of the edge payment to replace. What would be any other options?
2nd. I'm on 5.0.2.. I'm not really interested in flashing the new lollipop until there's a rooted/debloated ROM. When that comes out should I be able to just flash in recovery? What are my limitations of not having the USB port?

Buy another Z3v on eBay and/or buy yourself a wireless charger to be able to keep your phone up for day to day use.

I have a wireless qi charger. That's how I've had it going for the past month. If I was to buy another phone I doubt I'd get another z3v.. I'm mostly wondering if a lollipop Rom was created, would I be able to flash in recovery? I'm on 5.0.2 now.

I assume you've tried a different cord?
Have you tried hooking it up to a PC?
If yes to both, and nothing happens (charging or being recognized by the PC as a device) then there's nothing you can do. You can't flash it from the SD card. You need the USB to function, at least for data transfer.
Edit:
If you're rooted and have functioning recovery, then you're ok, as GigaSPX started in his response below.

Yes I've tried everything. And I'm not talking about the official lollipop. I'm talking about when/if someone comes out with a lollipop Rom.... I would still need usb?

No, it isn't required unless you really screwed up flashing something that wasn't supposed to be for your phone and requires you to flash stock ROM. This is also a case if you can't access custom recovery either.

Usb/charging port fried after failed S-off attempt

Just throwing it out there. As the title states. I attempted the S-off, failed a couple of times, more than likely due to my timing on the wire trick. Then my computer was unable to find device anymore. Long story short, I got my rom to reboot, however the phone will not connect to computer or charge. Tried Pc, Mac, different usb cords. Wiped, reinstalled rom, pulled battery, etc..
This is a risk that I took, and I take full responsibility for that. But just beware that this could affect your hardware and not just your software too, which makes sense because you are messing with the hardware. I am def in the minority here, but I thought I would share. But something to think about. The phone now still functions but I have to take out the battery to charge, and I can't push any files to the phone.
ive never heard of anyone's usb port getting fried with the s-off method but i guess it's possible since your basically grounding your device out.
I know it won't help you with fastboot, but you can still do ADB over wireless. Look for instructions on how to enable it via terminal, or just go the the store and find a widget or app to enable it. At least with functional ADB, you can still push files to your phone using wifi tether or if they are on the same wireless network.
Someone else had the same issue and is testing a possible fix for me. If it works ill post a thread but there is a good chance it is dead.

I had the exact same thing happen to me on my original Rezound, while I was doing all sorts of fastboot stuff to completely wipe it and prepare it to be shipped back to Verizon. In the end, it shipped back to them in a state where it would ONLY boot to hboot, because it had no /boot or /system or /data or /recovery partitions or anything. I don't really know what happened, but before I could run the RUU to complete the job, the USB connection just stopped working and it wouldn't charge. Exactly the same situation, except it was on its way back to Verizon anyway with a dead screen so I didn't bother to investigate any further.
To the people who have had the problem, were you using an uninsulated wire?

Or else inadvertantly touched the wrong terminals ? Just trying to figure out how it could happen.
lack of usb function was a product of a corrupted misc image on the HTC Desire. It is possible the same thing happened here so that is being tested. It is worth looking into as a last resort before sending it back.
Yes I was using an insulated wire. I placed the wire exactly where the pictures show. I'm really not sure what happened. But at least I have a backup phone.

Sounds like he is in the exact same boat as me. Will be following that thread as well.. Thanks.
Me three
In same Boat.
Please post a cure if you find one.
Another nice option for transferring files is SSHDroidPro used with something like WinSCP.
I know you tried wiping your rom, but did you try an RUU? On the off chance it is a corrupted partition that might be able to fix it. Worth a try anyway.

My ReZound and it's constant problems

This phone has gotten me wanting to quit technology altogether. I have had so many problems with mine, I can't even explain how irritated I am and how good an iPhone sounds to me. Phone rejects all usb connections, can't stay on for more than half an hour (If I can get it to boot fully) I don't even know what to do anymore. I know I could probably get it RUU'd, only thing is that I can't lock its bootloader anymore. And also broke my root. Superuser and su are still there, but superuser can't gain root access, neither can anything else. Tried factory resetting and reflashing my rom, but that didn't work for more than 10 minutes. Honestly if I could, I would torch this phone and leave it in a ditch, unless someone has a way for me to RUU without needing to lock the bootloader, because I'm pretty sure that's the only way I can do it.
I'm on CleanRom 4.[one version before the newest]
Warranty it. But that sounds like a cluster**** of user error.

what he said. were these problems there when it was stock unrooted? doubt it.
Wow...I've had no real problems with mine at all, except for some weirdness with recovery and Boot Manager yesterday. But I finally managed to clear those up. This has been a great phone for me. I don't intend to assume user error, but it's always a possibility...but don't give up and go to the iCrap...Android is still WAY better. Hopefully someone in the community can get ya straightened out.

The only reason why there's any problems is because none of my cables connect to my phone anymore. My stock one broke and so now I'm using the standard usb cables that every other phone has. usb connection has never worked since the switch. Also my phone was working fine till it decided to randomly reboot into death.

I don't blame you for blaming me, but the truth is I really don't think this is my fault. I have almost bricked my phone due to a batched RUU Flash, but it still worked fine after I got it out of the loop. And this all started happening recently. I dunno what to think.

Is there a difference? I've tried at least 6 different cables, brand-new out of the box to older used for other phone. I know I can connect older phones with the same cable, so I'm pretty sure it's a data cable.

the cable for the og droid should be a data usb cable, so try taht one. i know that we sell cables that actually don't work for sending data in my store, but come with a travel charger.
idk man, it sounds like you may have f'ed it up somehow. why can't you unlock it again? try RUU'ing the newest leak maybe?

To run the exe, yes. But if you S-Off, it won't matter. It may be worth it.
FWIW, I know the 4G issue that occurs after flashing a radio is resolved by running the RUU then doing an hboot factory reset...maybe give that a shot?

Can't S-OFF if I can't connect my phone to my computer.
The vzw corporate just agreed with me that the battery life is ****ty and sent me a gnex which ill be happy with since the battery is better and it has miui roms which I like
what i would reccomend doing is flashing the latest ruu.
to do this take out your microSD and put it in a sd card adapter and put the ruu onto the sd card and then run it, and then do an hboot factory reset

What was the process you went through to get this done?
I would definitly say you should warranty replace it. Dont know why you cant use a data cable to connect to pc, I use em all the time, sounds like a hardware issue with that. Unless you can data connect while in Recovery or in Hboot I would say just replace with warranty.
Just tell them about the heat issue....and bad battery life...they sent me another rezound and I complained again and now they sent me the nexus....I know im going to be happy with that phone...I can just smell it

no, the specs aren't ****tier. however, the actual phone itself is ****tier. the pentile amoled screen with oversaturated colors, the terrible radio that gives awful 4g reception and awful 4g speeds when compared to a rezound. you act like we don't have the developers...really? have you ever been to the development subsection? either way, go enjoy your nexus. i'll continue to enjoy my customized rezound, thanks to our many developers.

[Q] USB Problem - KIES not recognizing the phone

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I am on stock but somehow, KIES wont work. It keeps saying connecting, but wont go further than that.
USB debugging is unchecked so I am sure that it not the problem. I heard T-Mobile for ICS upgrade, so I just wanted to be prepared for ICS update for ATT, but idk, why KIES is not working.
Any suggestions?
Bent USB prong in the phone? I've had to adjust mine several times since I got it launch day. Or hardware failure. When my USB was bent it could still charge via a wall charger
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
yeah I think it works when i use at a certain angle.
I am trying to go back to the stock rom and hopefully i can return it, but for some reason Odin is not recognizing it. I mean the yellow box of COM:0 does not show up in the "I777UCKH7-CL503881-No-BL.exe"
Do you know the reason for this?
Missing driver.
IIRC I believe you were supposed to install KIES and another Samsung driver...but I remember using my phone on a netbook without it and it worked...
Try installing the USB driver on the official samsung website? I can't post links yet or I would link it...

There can be multiple possible reasons. You've eliminated some of them. Could be a failing usb port on the phone, bad cable, etc.
If you can't get usb to work, you can flash back to stock using mobile odin. I assume you are rooted. Just download the one-click downloader to your phone over wifi, or use dropbox or something to get it onto your phone. Mobile odin will recognize and flash from the one-click downloader. There is even a guide in the general section on how to do this.

Creepy just posted this while I was getting you the link for the guide to return to stock with no PC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691659.
I returned to stock, and I think I figured out the problem as well.
The problem I am quite sure is the USB port on the phone. Like I said, when I keep the USB cable connected at a certain angle, it works just fine.
I will just have to live with it now I think because ODIN displays custom binary installed and the count is 2, so I dont think ATT will let me exchange the phone for a new one.

ehhh, its worth a try. Thats a hardware failure, the one that samsung is known for. Mine is starting to go out too.
I've returned 1 rooted phone with this issue, and warranty'd 1 rooted one that had a broken LCd.
These were Infuse's but same damn samsung problem.

I had the very same issue as you are describing.
All you need to do is tweak the USB port a little. Did mine about 3 or 4 months ago and have not had to touch it since.
Use a small precision screw driver, fold a couple layers of Kleenex over the tip and gently bend it towards the screen side of the phone.
It WILL work perfect after that.

My phone is partially a dud

I don't know how many times I posted because of this, but I think I'm done trying to fix it.
My phone, regardless of ROM, computer, or cable, etc, will isn't seen by any computer
I've installed all the drivers (through HTC sync) multiple times and on multiple computers. I've tried new roms, stock roms, nothing. New cables old cables, nothing. I've even formatted my SD cards and tried that way, nothing. I've tried the wireless ADB, and I get "<waiting for device>" which of course is never going to be found. I don't really think there's anything else I can do at this point but assume that it's my phone's USB port is damaged, can I replace that though?
Any ideas? And also someone could tell me about replacing hardware on this phone, that'd be great.
Thanks anyone.

If it charges over USB I have a hard time thinking the USB port has issues... There is one common denominator over the 5 computers you have tried

Nothing, the phone doesn't even realize it's being connected, although if you restart the phone with a cable plugged in (whether or not it's plugged into a wall or computer) the phone pops up with the options to charge only, etc. None of the options do anything though.

Why can't you? It's time consuming but you can. Run the ruu to get yourself back to stock. Lock the bootloader and s-on. Then you will be stock, unrooted and bootloader will say either relocked or tampered or whatever. Root it. S-off with junipbear but do not install the modified hboot. Then ruu again. You will now be completely stock, unrooted and bootloader will say locked. Worked perfectly fine for me.

That's what I was thinking actually
Erase everything so it doesn't even turn on, then just be like "Iunno what happened"

Nothing, the phone doesn't even realize it's being connected, although if you restart the phone with a cable plugged in (whether or not it's plugged into a wall or computer) the phone pops up with the options to charge only, etc. None of the options do anything though.

If your phone doesn't realize it's plugged in, then you got a defect.
Verizon usually doesn't check for unlock/root and many people have successfully gotten replacements for rooted phones.

Help!! Not charging or connecting to pc

Ok so last night I transferred some files with otg cable. Unmounted and then went to put it on charger and it does not recognize the charger. It did charge after I powered it down. But when the phone is on it doesn't recognize anything plugged into the usb port. Anyone have any suggestions? And if not how do I run a ruu or something to get back to stock for warranty without a connection to pc?

Quick update. I am on 3.09.401.1 firmware and a 2.24.401.8 based rom. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but it will charge in recovery mode but not booted up. So seems like a firmware/software issue. Is there any way to flash firmware without using usb to pc? Because it won't recognize the usb at all.

Weird problem. Not sure if it will work but you can try "flashify" from the play store to flash firmware, etc without usb. Keep us posted on your results.
Also see if you can access it through bootloader. You might be able to RUU. Alternatively, factory reset and install ROM in recovery. Or try side adb in recovery..

I'm currently using the same firmware ROM base combination as you with no issues. Are you using the charger that came with your phone, have you replaced the usb cable to make sure it isn't faulty?

I am going to look into flashify. That sounds interesting. I have tried getting the thing to pick up the usb in hboot. But no luck so far.

I have tried three different HTC branded charger/cable combinations. With no luck while booted up. I charged to 100% while shut off.
I have been running this combo for a week or something. Ever since the firmware hit the forums. And had no issues until two nights ago when this first started giving me grief... so I don't know what has caused it.
I also posted this over in the international forums and there's a guy over there with the same issue.

well i am downloading a stock backup and i have a stock recovery not sure how to get them both to work... because i have to flash the stock rom with twrp and then how do i get the stock recovery flashed with a stock rom.... i will figure it out. anyway my plan is to try to take an ota and have that change the firmware and then i will know if i have a hardware issue or a software issue.
Lol. Now I'm not sure what to do. I reverted back to stock rom and recovery and then realized the touch drivers I have aren't compatible.... But I am booted up and plugged into the pc and it is charging but not coming up on the pc as a device. I don't know if debug mode is on because I am stuck at the first setup screen... Ahh I can't seem to catch a break here...

That's what I am trying to do... However I can't get the pc or the phone to recognize the connection. I have been messing with this thing and getting nowhere for so long I feel like I'm just banging my head agains a wall...

...have you tried booting into safe mode and then see if it is recognized? Just a shot in the dark. :fingers-crossed:

How do I get into safe mode?

Press the power button until the power options open. Tap and hold POWER OFF on the screen and the phone should ask if you'd like to boot into safe mode but if your touch panel is not working for you this is not going to work.

Correct. I have totally screwed myself I think. I think I basically at this current time have a fairly lightweight brick that lights up. I have no touch capabilities at all and nothing recognized when plugged into PC. I have tried plugging into a windows 8 and also a Ubuntu machine with no dice in fast boot or adb....

I dont think it is prob with some ROM. I used HTC One with stock rom (official stock by HTC) and after three months my phone stopped charging and also stop USB connection. I googled it and it was universal prob and also HTC knows about that.
See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417377
Phone acted very strange. Details are in above link. And also there are 2 or 3 threads more like this.

Did you end up getting it resolved and if so how?
I don't think AT&T will look kindly on me for having it unlocked and s-off and for having a rom/firmware mismatch...

Unless the OTA adapter screwed up the USB connector pins for data but not power, then you should be able to recover. However like stated there has been a few reports of failed USB connectors.
Does there seem like there is any damage to the usb pins in the connector on the phone?
Did you make sure to have the HTC device drivers installed on your PC before trying ADB. Do you have a Windows 7 PC to try?

So far I have tried on win8 winxp and Ubuntu.on the windows pcs the drivers were definitely installed. No dice on any of them. I am thinking the connector must be messed up. I can't see anything obvious looking at it but the fact that on three pcs one of them running Linux didn't find the phone but will charge it is pretty definitive. I don't have the money to pay for repairs due to having "tampered" with the phone(even though it doesn't say that) it is an AT&T phone with s-off and unlocked and a 1.55 hboot and has a inverted splash screen. Pretty obvious...

If you boot the phone into the bootloader without the cable attached it should come up and say fastboot. When you attach the USB cable does the display on the phone change to fastboot USB or stay only fastboot?

Yep, then it seems the pinouts on the USB connector have been damaged. Bummer.
On the plus side consider this: AT&T will probably still give you device exchange without charging you a fee. First, they mostly don't care about users modding their phones. Secondly there are so many exchange requests coming into them for the One, that all the defective units will just be sent back to HTC directly by AT&T and at that point HTC is not going to bother to go back to AT&T and say listen this list of devices were modified. If they did, that would create a backlog on work for AT&T to match the records to owners and then contacting them and trying to prove that the user did this so far removed from the exchange that it doesn't make business sense to them.
I have seen AT&T users report that they have sent in devices that were extremely modified and obvious, but AT&T proceeded with the exchange anyway because they would rather keep you as a happy customer than spending time trying to prove what you did was the only cause of the failure. Users have even sent back total bricks that they created by doing something stupid and AT&T still replaced the device without question.
When you modded the phone, that basically ended AT&T's obligation to help you with any service/software related issues, but the modding did not void the hardware warranty and it seems your device has a hardware issue that was unlikely caused by the software modifications.
The key in your case would be to do the defective device exchange via phone/mail and not via the walk in device service center.
If you don't want to do this because of the possible risk of flagging by them, then I may be willing to buy your bricked device if you are not going to do anything with it. PM if interested.
