Hi to everyone,
last few days I am having issues with my Redmi Note 3 SD.
Few days ago it suddenly refused to charge or make a connection to PC over USB, I was just about to return it for repair when suddenly after a day USB started working without issue again.
But today after copying some pictures over USB I pluged it in charger and it refused to charge or make connection to PC again.
Since then I installed Alka TWRP and restored MIUI since I was on CM13,everything restored fine except for firmware which gives extractTarFork() 255 error.
After that I managed to flash never MIUI over fastboot since fastboot is working with no issues except for device being detected as marshall london bootloader interface in Windows.
Unfortunately even in MIUI i still cant charge or make USB to pc connection.

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.
Hello,
I'm the owner of a galaxy A5 2016 (a510f), and I've been recently messing with custom roms (as we all do here). And yesterday I added several files to my phone using my pc, and as I was flashing a rom, this one failed.
No problem, just get back to TWRP and transfer from my pc my recent Backup, but no! My phone just won't connect to the pc, but still charges... tried transfer the backup using OTG with an USB stick, my phone still doesn't recognize
any USB connection. Tried reseting TWRP and check if MTP was enabled and it was, but still same issue. I was forced to recover an old backup I had on my phone for quiet a long time. But maybe it would work if I tried to transfer once
booted in android... Nope still not working, despite having USB debugging and MTP enabled. You have to admit this is very strange that I cannot even connect it via TWRP or download mode...
I'm really starting to suspect a Hardware issue... but that was so sudden... I also tried several USB cable, still not working but still charging.
I really need help, this is really annoying, I can't transfer anything using USB cable now, and can only use wireless transfer.

Hi,
I have a Hisense u989 pro with a custom recovery installed, I performed a restore from a previous backup. After completed, when wanting to reboot, I saw a msg "No OS installed, leaving the phone connected to my pc and charging via usb, my wife needed a usb cable and unplugged my phone. when I returned some time later the phone was completely dead.
Some issues: Phone not charging or switching on, cant boot into recovery or fastboot, sp flash tool not detecting phone via usb cable, tried different usb cables, cleaned the micro usb charging port. left phone connected to charger for over 24hrs and still nothing. Im unsure whether it could be the charging port or the battery.
Ive got the hisense u989 pro stock rom, i just need it to switch on. Any advise or assistance to resolve my phone issue will be appreciated.\
thanking you
Just want to make sure that I'm dealing with a hardware and not a software problem....
Device: OOS 3.1.4, TWRP, Magisk 18.1, Xposed, Arsenic kernel. Battery replaced just a month ago.
Friday, I noticed my phone reporitng a battery level of 100% after using it for most of the day. Plugged it in to charge and it wouldn't charge. After reboot it showed the correct level, and would accept a charge.
Saturday morning, on unplugging the phone I noticed that the notification LED flickered a few times, as if the phone though it was still being charged. After a few flickers it stops.
Since then, the phone charges fine. However, I noticed that my car's Android Auto no longer recognized the phone as being plugged in. After a bit more snooping, I realized the phone's lost data transfer capabilities over the USB. Here's what I've tried (and failed)
Plugging into computer with multiple different cables and different ports.
USB Debug + ADB -- no new devices detected in device manager
Fastboot -- throws a "device descriptor request failed"
Repeated the above after re-installing the 15 second ADB drivers -- no luck.
Boot into TWRP and attempt to ADB via side-load -- nothing
Wiped everything except boot and EFS in TWRP, re-flash stock ROM -- nothing
At this point, is there any possibility that it's still software? Can a kernel error do this? Or is it purely hardware and I should look for a new phone?
You can try to clean the connector.
Did clean it. No luck
I had also faced almost same kind of problem. When i plugged it for charge LED won't blink but it charged. After some days that stopped too. So i changed charging port from a repairing shop. After some days data transfer stopped with original charging cable and my PC recognized it as unknown broken device. So i bought another charging cable and now everything works.
TL;DR -- it works
Just an update...since my last post, I had an episode where it boot-loops. I suspect this was because I had used the "advanced mounting" on Apps2SD that warns that it can boot loop. The fix requires ADB which I couldn't do, but somehow re-flashing the stock ROM breaks the bootloop (but USB still doesn't work).
Reinstalled Arsenic, Apps2SD, Magisk. Have had the occasional freeze (usually while on the phone, and once when trying to transfer something to the SD card). Dialed down the undervolting (which has been rock solid until now) and maybe it helped a bit? I still froze once while on completely stock settings though.
HOWEVER...had my phone plugged into a Linux-based thin-client for charging...and after around 15 minutes, it spontaneous went into debug mode. Data transfer works now, as does ADB. With all of my cables that I know are good.
What happened? no clue.
