[Q] Help Micro Usb wont work

The port on my phone has stopped working. My phone will not recognize that a cable is plugged in at all. Whether it is a cable plugged in thru ac adapter or computer or car charger. I have tried 2 diff cables thats all i have to test. Thing is I am on refuse and have no way to get back to stock since phone doesnt recognize that a cable is connected. I have tried rebooting, battery pulls. any ideas or suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

If even ODIN mode is not working you have a hardware failure.

Ok not sure wtf happened but will give yall the run down.
BTW thanks for the reply Entropy512
OK could no longer charge or connect to comp so no going stock for me so what was i to do my phone was fubar.
Ok after talking with all the devs and tech support and general folks in the irc that were available I deleted the system folder thru file expert. If cant boot they cant tell that i had rooted and put a rom on there right.
So jump in truck and for grins plug it in to charger and bam get the samsung logo. But i continue to ATT just in case a fluke. Well of course im bricked at this point. They try charge it, put new batt in (not sure if they left it in). Still wont boot (of course) I go thru the dance and of course they cant get it to work. So I have to go thru warranty. They sending me another phone and they give mine to send back once i get the other.
So get back in truck throw my external sd back in and throw on charger for grins again. Bam I get charge screen. I leave there for good hour. Get my baby home run to comp throw it recognized crank up Odin, go stock, and am in process of flashing it back to the way it should be.
Got replacement phone and sent the other one back it never was right always thought it was connected to comp after it finally connected again. And never another word from att.

Not to revive an old thread, but what happened that got it to work in the truck again? I am helping a friend with your exact same issue, and another thread led me here. His port feels like broken solder connections, and the problem got worse and worse, till now it's pretty useless. He's already got his replacement device, but we're kinda scrambling what to do with the old one before sending it back.
He is bone stock rom, stock recovery, etc so the ONLY problem is that pesky Super User Icon lol. Think he'll be alright?

Not sure what got it to work tbh. It just started working. Of course all it would do is charge cuz i had deleted system folder. But it would not boot so of course att rep couldnt get it to boot so said i would have to wait on replacement phone. So just limped it along till it showed up. Sorry that doesnt help u any but. Only thing i can suggest is to delete system folder or brick it to point it stuck at samsung logo. If bricked cant see super user. Thats how sent mine back. Sorry if not much help.

Same. I have a captivate and my Micro USB won't charge.

[Q] [i9023] Water damage - USB won't connect to PC.

Hi there,
My Nexus S (i9023) phone recently fell into a water bucket and I immediately pulled it out.
Not much damage was done to it except of one thing: after I put it in a bag of rice like stated on the internet for overnight, and then plugged it in again to the charger, it seems like something was different.
When I plug the phone to the AC power - phone DOES charge, but nothing else happens.
It doesn't turn on screen and informs "charging", and doesn't have the "charge when phone is off" option anymore. Instead it would just turn the phone on.
Also, when connecting the phone to the computer nothing happens, it's just charging the phone! can't mount USB anymore
I took the phone to a lab which handles these cases. They replaced the USB port and cleaned all the corrosion. They said it's fixed now, and indeed the USB port is new.
But then after coming back home it's still the same.
I'm sick of being dependant on other people and would like to fix it myself.
Any clue which part of my phone was fried? Where can I get it?
Thanks!

Are u rooted?
Try a different ROM. Maybe one ur ur backups.
If it still does connect then it has to be the ROM assuming ur computer has the proper drivers still.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G

Thanks!
Thank you!!!
Problem solved after I loaded one of my backups.
Any explanation to that? even when the phone was turned off it couldn't charge it in off mode and now it can.
How come it's a software issue?
Thanks!

I can only guess that ur ROMs kernel had a "fast charge" option. If so this doesn't allow computer connection. How it got switched to that option... who knows .... maybe the sudden power surge.
If not that, then ... strange things happen when a phone get wet.. the sudden power surge could have changed the power output causing CPU adjustments... who knows.
I'm just happy it worked for u.
I'd recalibrate ur battery asap.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G

Hi, the same thing happened to me, only it wasn't a bucket, it was a pool, and changing the ROM didn't work (I've flashed at least three different ROMs since then, kind of hard when the USB port doesn't work but eh, what can you do).
Also, it's on a Gio, not a Nexus S, but the principle should still be the same, yes?

(Q)Does the factory cable works for Atrix 2?

Hey guys! The question is that simple, I have a so called bricked Atrix 2. But i need to know if the factory cable does work for it because i made one some months ago but its not working with the Atrix 2. Phones not mine so i dont know how the he.l it has gone to this condition. But ive never had issues with similar synthoms using the factory cable to revive a phone. And as far as i know the phone just stopped working. Nothing fancy was done to it or anything like that. Please i need help on this....

In the future please try searching before asking...
Yes, the Motorola "factory cable" works as intended on the Atrix 2. However, if the phone is totally hardbricked, even the factory cable probably can't resurrect it.
We have recently received an ICS leak that hardbricks you if you try to downgrade the bootloader. We found a way to downgrade to the stock OS without touching the bootloader, but unfortunately some people skimmed over the big red warnings and downgraded the bootloader anyway. It sounds to me like you might have received a phone that had this happen to it. If so then there really isn't much you can do... sorry.

Ok thanks, and trust me i tried searching just wasnt lucky enough to find a confirmation that the cable does work on this phone. Anyway, ill try a different battery on it before giving up because yesterday i entered the fastboot mode on it. Didnt have the files ready to flash it and now i cant enter fasboot no matter what i do. It only happened once(entering fastboot) but i tried it just once yesterday. Now i have the flashing files but it wont enter fastboot(OUCH). If i connect it to the computer with a regular usb cable but without the battery it will turn the white light on. But as soon as i insert the battery it will turn off.

sounds promising if you manage to get another batt, or charge it with the McGuyver methood (see my post history for the thread)

Isnt it the same as using an external charger? I mean just asking, but if the battery is done it will not make any difference though. On the other side, i dont think it will do that much because the factory cable as far as i remember doesnt even need the battery to be inserted for the phone to enter the bootloader. And to be honest the computer makes no difference when i connect the phone... Anyways, i have nothing to loose trying other battery

Fast charge not working in s6 after marshmallow (6.0.1) update

I updated my (factory unlocked) S6 to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and for two days it worked just fine. Then suddenly the fast charge stopped working. when i open notifications it says: cable charge, 5 hours until full charge. I tried everything, i have 2 original adaptive fc samsung chargers and none of them works. plus an aukey fast charging external battery, but when i connect my phone it keep saying cable charge. i pushed the usb into the charger, i turned on the fast charging option in settings, tried different cables. then i tried to connect it to my pc, but it doesnt recognizes my phone, and neither does the Mini MicroSD Card Reader that worked just fine before the update. I did a hard reset, but it wont work. im thinking maybe something (hardware) broke in the second day after the update, idk. i remember conecting the phone at night before going to sleep to an iphone cube with the battery at 90%, but that wont explain why my pc doesnt recognise it. I NEED HELP, PLZ

Just a thought: did you enable fast charging option from the battery menu ?

Please read again
it clearly says i turned on the fast charge option in settings

"5 hours until full charge"
something else is wrong here

Why? How do you know? What do you think its the problem?
the weird thing is that when I connect the s6 to the wall charger it pops up the "connected as a media device" that should appear when connecting to a computer. AND when I connect it to the computer it doesnt appear, so I cant move files, etc.

I have the same issue! I know for a fact that it started right after I charged my phone a little on my friend's car charger. I have charged my phones on his charger in the past and have never had issues. It's almost like the phone got scared and locked itself down (stopped transmitting and recieving USB data, therefore not recognizing fast charger or mtp). I have been searching this issue for a while, but have not been able to find a solution. There are lots of people out there that have this problem! I have called Samsung, but they barely even wanted to talk to be because it is the unlocked variant (sm-g920i). Honestly at this point I would be willing to pay them maybe $50 to fix it. It's ridiculous! And I suspect that it is just their dumbass firmware that screwed me over!

I also suspect that is the firmware, but i have searched everywhere and the only ones that could fix it did it by changing the usb port (therefore it was a hardware problem). The ****ty thing is that this phone is too difficult to open, and too dangerous, i dont dare to do it myself, but i neither trust anyone who isnt samsung... so.. i think im just going to sell it and buy anotherone, or idk.. if you can solve the problem please let me know. I'll really appreciate it. (Sorry for bad english)

you might want to try clear both daavik cache and cache.
. I had a similiar problem, that seemed to clear it up.

to clear the dalvik cache i have to root it, and i dont want to in case i have to take it to samsung because maybe if i root it i will loose the warranty. and i already cleared all the other caches like 5 times, i dont know what to do anymore. thank you for the reply, if you know of anything else I can try...

I can confirm that it is not hardware related. I have replaced the board containing the USB port, but am still having the same issue!

And have you found a firmware/software solution to the problem? what's exactly your issue? the same as mine? no fast charge and not connecting to pc?

I also have the same problem, since wiped the device with paper and sometimes back fast loading, however the transfer via USB does not work. I believe it is software problem.

Yesterday I noticed that my data cable connects via download mode by odin, or as may be hardware if odin recognize?

guys,i got a galaxy s6 edge and i had a fast charging issue and i've checked all common solution like changing cables,chargers,even changed the socket but same issue exits my mobile charging in 6 hours and when i go to fast charge option in menu it turned on and at the moment of connecting the cable to automaticly turn off with no choise to turn it on again,any one please knows how so solve??

two ideas come to mind, 1: a jig and 2: debrick image
jigs should still be a very viable option for situations like these, however might be fruitless and i cant remember if this phone has an expandable memory slot or not. I know they ditched a few things on the S6 that were like VGN "what were they thinking???" but cant recall if that was one of them
