After trying to root kitkat, microUSB port is not working - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have the Chinese smartphone Uhappy UP920, android kitkat.
I tried to root my phone with kingoroot and all other root software before one week, without success, kingo always said "connection with servers failed, try again", I tried it two days from different libraries & I tried some software for upgrade, just to see if it is possible to upgrade to the android 5 & 6, the upgrade was refused because developer didn't make such possibility.
I don't remember from all this software if I used any software for flashing device, but here is the problem:
in one moment after trying all these software, I saw that phone battery dropped from 10% to 1% and the USB cable didn't work any more, I tried OTG cable also but the phone didn't recognize my USB device, when battery was gone/spent, I tried to use USB cable to charge the phone with my computer, but no success. I don't have ac adapter (charger), I think it would not work in any case because OTG cable is not working, not only USB cable.
battery is gone, I can't charge it with USB cable, I tried to make restart with "down volume button" and "home button", but it didn't work.
when I press Power On button, display become something like blue for a second and it is dark again. I can't start the phone.
my theory is that some software destroyed possibility for android kitkat to recognize smartphone microUSB port (for USB cable, you can see that port on the photo: https://img.fasttechcdn.com/231/2314500/2314500-9.jpg). So, maybe it is software problem, maybe hardware problem...
anyone had similar problem? anyone has a solution?
p.s. before battery was gone, USB debugging option was checked, that's requirement when I tried to root the phone, in theory I could try ADB to do something with the phone, but I don't know how to use ADB, I tried to list devices but I got everything black in the terminal, I didn't get listed my device. if you recommend ADB, please tell me what commands to use.

[Q] [Help] Optimus V is not charging

Hi all... i got my V for a month and now it is not charging anymore. neither from the ac adapter nor my computer usb..and my computer couldnt detect my phone is plug to the USB port....just nothing pops out. The debugging mode status icon, and the storage icon is not shown on my phone.
basically... i tried everything i found on Google...
reboot my phone, pop out the battery, change cable[from other optimus V], changed battery, different ports on my computer, different computer, different AC adapter, different SD card, format my SD card, factory reset, and the last thing i tried is to rooted my phone and flash with a I.H.O CM7.1 ROM.
no hope at all; however, when i plugged to the usb port or the ac adapter, then i take out the battery.. the phone does power up and say required battery....
so, if anyone had this problem before and solved it.. please help me out. between, i cant return the phone anymore.. it is over a month.
forgot to mention... it is the second time this charging issue happened. the first time, it fixed itself after i plugged into the PC, windows recognized it, and installed the drivers. [well, i already installed the driver before this happened, because i was doing some coding and debugging]
this time.... windows is doing nothing, no message pop out, no new driver found.. just nothing. and my phone doesn't shows the debugging icon on the status bar even thought i ticked the debugged mode On, and connected to the usb.
sorry for my bad grammar =[
maybe see if your pc recognizes it while rebooted into recovery.
you could also try removing all the lg and Android drivers in device manager (select show hidden devices to get at them) and then plugging the phone into the pc again.
or use a Ubuntu "live cd" to check the connectability... micro$oftware is uppity, my kid's windoze computer doesn't like my v, although it used to see it fine.
I've also read that toggling debugging, disconnecting and reconnecting the cable, then toggling usb debugging again can help.
also, froyo roms are supposed to go to a charge mode when turned off but still plugged in.

[Q] Doesn't connect to PC

Hi, I have a Galaxy Player 4.0 that I rooted with SuperOneClick. It was working fine at first then a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my PC no longer recognizes it as a device, it just charges when I plug it in. So, I looked around andn tried a few things:
Restarted it several times
Tried with all the different modes in USB settings
Tried with different cable
Tried with two other computers, a Mac Mini and a Win7 laptop
Tried to unroot, couldn't get that to work
Did a factory data reset
Nothing works. I can't remember anything I did since rooting that would cause this, except I installed the Samsung Kies driver on the PC. I can't remember if the USB mass storage was working after Kies. Does anyone have other ideas?
Bump. This is rather a big deal, as I cannot transfer files between my PC and Galaxy player in any way other than over WiFi, which does not work reliably. I don't have a microSD card adapter either.
You might want to check if anything related to samsung/android appears in the device manager. Alternatively, to use heimdall I use Zadig to switch from samsung's driver to libusb but it does show you everything connected to your computer via usb when you check the option to list all devices. You should try this with and without usb debuging enabled. If nothing shows up you know it id your player that is at fault.

Thanks,
The first time I plugged it in without USB debugging enabled nothing showed up, when I enabled USB debugging, in Zadig and Device manager there showed up an unknown device, trying to update driver in Device manager showed that it already had the best driver, and in zadig driver replacement failed. Now, when I plug it in, either with or without USB debugging enabled, nothing shows up anywhere. I have tried with other computers and other cables, and nothing works, so I am pretty sure it's the player. I am willing to to a complete factory system reset, but I don't know how.

I'm having the same problem with my rooted 5.0. Although it's not a huge problem for me (I use dropbox for file syncing) I would love to sort this out, let me know if your factory reset works!
You can find it in the Privacy section of the settings menu.

I suspect you have a faulty usb connector on your device, but it doesn't hurt to do a factory reset. But you might want to backup your data first Did you try to jerk the usb cable in your player? A loose/broken connector would explain all your problems. Even if it is a software problem, I can't see how to flash your device with the original firmware since you don't have a sdcard & usb doesn't work...
Btw, I was referring to zadig only to show the devices attached to your computer, not to change the driver!

Thanks, I only tried to change the driver because it showed no driver already installed. I have a bit of electronics background so I may crack it open and take a look at the connector. I already tried the factory reset in the privacy menu, but that only wipes data apparently, not the system. I do have an sd card, I just don't have an adapter to the PC.
EDIT: After wiggling the cable around a bit, it showed the USB icon in the status bar, so I clicked connect USB mass storage, but the computer still showed a badly installed driver and then after some more wiggling the icon disappeared, so I am pretty sure it's a problem with the connector. BTW, how would I flash the stock firmware to unroot?

[Q] Booting and USB problems running on Cooks-i777 Rom

I have been running on Cooks I777UCMD8 rom for about 2 months now and have had multiple powering issues. Have tried all the basic trouble shooting, not sure if its the Rom causing the issues or the AJK noswap Kernel, but nothing has been tweaked, running as is. The booting issue is when connecting a USB cable while the phone is powered off, if you try to turn the phone on while the USB cable is still attached you get a POWER RESET OR UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE error message, only way to avoid it is to remove the usb cable and hold power button then it powers up normally.
now the problem with the USB cable, and i feel these two are possibly related, my phone no longer recognizes when its attached to a computer usb hub, it charges, but dose not enter into mass storage mode, nor does the computer recognize that the phone is attached, i have tried on multiple computers with same results, and yes all drivers are downloaded on computers. Further information; Before this problem began accruing, I would get error messages after attaching the phone to a pc VIA usb cable saying ( ONE OF THE USB DEVICES ATTACHED TO THIS COMPUTER HAVE MALFUNCTIONED, AND WINDOWS DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IT ) also, after plugging in the usb cable and windows attempted to download the drivers this error also appeared ( DEVICE SOFTWARE WAS NOT SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED, CONSULT WITH YOUR DEVICE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE ) it later resolved itself for a short time ( couple days ) but now when i connect the phone, nothing happens... i'm hoping somebody has had similar USB problems after flashing a new rom and knows whats going on.
additional information:
- i have two Galaxy S2 phones both running cooks-i777ucmd8 rom and both phones have had the exact same issues.
- previous problems also include boot looping, and frozen lock screen upon powering up the phone. has not happen in a while.

[Q] USB connection to PC suddenly not working. OTG and charging works.

Hello, I have issues connecting my S3 international model (i9300) to any PC. It has CM11 since at least 6+ months and it worked just fine and connected to my PC two days ago just fine.
Some days ago, it started bootlooping because of the common power button stuck problem [turned on by itself when battery inserted, and rebooted in the Samsung logo, which doesn't even let you go to DOWNLOAD mode or Recovery because it just reboots after a few seconds]
Yesterday I disassembled it following fixit guides and youtube step by step guides to make sure I didn't break anything. I saw the button problem was internal (the button apparently works fine, but internally it has a closed circuit so it seems as pressed). I assembled my phone again and went to bed. Today it was working without bootloop. I saw this as an opportunity to make all the required backups just in case it went to bootloop again but I couldn't get anything from it. Windows doesn't recognize it at all, not even during boot. Here is what I tried:
*Tried in several PCs/Notebooks/OS with different cables that work with other phones
*In all cases it charges the battery, but the PC doesn't see it as a device.
*I rebooted the phone by software (so I don't press the power button at risk of getting bootloop again) going to terminal emulator and using 'reboot' command.
*Rebooting the phone connected to the PCs doesn't either cause any device to be detected by the PC during the booting of the phone.
*Thinking it might be the port of my phone, I tried an OTG adaptor and several pendrives. They all were detected by the phone and I was able to write and read the USB drives.

At first I suspected I left a ribbon/flex cable not connected to the board, but being able to use OTG USB drives and being able to charge it didn't convince me it was the case. I want to avoid disassembling it without knowing first which ribbon to look at and any other test/information you could tell me to provide in order to find the solution.

Trying to flash custom ROM to my Buzz TV XPL 3000...

Hi all,
I'm in a complete head spin so I'm hoping someone here could shed some light on an issue I'm facing.
As the title says, I currently have a Buzz TV XPL 3000 android box. I'm trying to flash "Aidan's Android TV Custom Rom" onto it. But no matter what I try to do, I simply cannot get the Buzz TV box to interact with my Windows 10 PC.
I have 2 different male-to-male USB cables that I've tried plugging into the box and into my PC, but there is no link between them. The PC nor the Android box don't acknowledge any kind of connection. I know a lot of people will probably say that my cables aren't data cables, but I've actually used one of them previously to flash another Android device.
Whenever I plug the USB cables into my Android box and PC, the ONLY thing that happens, is the PC powers up the Android box. I've tried turning on USB debugging tools from the developer menu, but nothing. The PC doesn't even make a sound when I plug the cable in and there is nothing listed under device manager. Nothing appears on USB Burning Tools under devices.. Just nothing.
I've tried plugging in the USB cable, while holding down the reset button (located on the bottom of the box), but all that does is power on the Android box and load into "Android Recover". Still nothing detected on USB Burning Tools and still no acknowledgement from the PC that a USB device has been connected.
The options I get in the Android Recovery menu are:
Reboot System Now
Apply Update From EXT
Apply Update From Data
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Burn Keys
I've tried selecting "Apply Update From EXT" and manually selecting the .img file. But it says it cannot verify the signature.
I'm literally out of ideas. Can anyone who knows what they're doing please help me!

Hi, You Might Have To Try And Figure Out Mask rom Mode To Force your Device To Be Detected By USB Burn Tool If Using The Reset Button is Unsuccessful, Look For Mask rom Mode Information, You Can Upload Pictures Of Both Sides Of Your Logic Board we can try and figure it out

Hey man,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I managed to get it working. Decided to give it another shot this morning and for some reason, first time around it worked. USB Burning Tool instantly picked the box up, installed perfectly and now I have it up and running!! It definitely seems a lot more snappier than my last firmware.
I do have a question though. With the previous stock firmware, my TV would pick the Android box up with a HDR signal. It no longer does this now. Is that to be expected with this rom or is there something I need to do?
Sir
