[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] Infuse won't charge.

Got an Infuse 4G from my neighbor ( He switched from ATT to Verizon knew I needed a phone so he was kind enough to give it to me) and now the phone doesn't charge. What can I do?

Chances are, you have a bad charger or a bad battery.

Either that or a broken usb port. You could be surprise on how many galaxy phones get no charge because of the usb charging port. Its very sensitive and it can be broken quite easily. But if you give more details maybe we can help. Does it responds when you connect it or it wont do anything at all?

can you plug into the computer and it stays connected with no issues or problems...if yes, then your port on the phone should be good
batteries do have a life span...and they are cheap on ebay...I got 2 2000 with charge for less than $20 bucks...great deal
prob is your battery if you wanna stay oem battery same thing you can get them at good prices on eBay and Amazon

Infuse Wont stay on or charge
Hello, maybe someone can help me here. My infuse suddenly won't charge or turn on at all. When I plug in the USB cable from my computer or the wall the battery icon comes on with the animated loading circle thing then goes off after about a second of doing that. When I do a hard reset with or without the battery in it and with or without the charger plugged in, the same thing happens.
Its been several days since this has been happening and after trying again today, it actually turned on and booted to the OS and was charging for about 5 mins before it stopped recognizing the charger. I pulled the battery and it since will not turn on. The battery has some charge on it but will not turn the phone on, just does the weird battery thing as described above.
I have tried several different charging cables, but have no other battery to try. Any suggestions?

Hello i had the same problem awhile back. When my phone was not rooted(Infuse) i had to go to recovery mode and wipe cache after that the charger recognized right away on the phone.
Another time After i rooted i flashed a bad rom and i could not get my phone to charge while it was off. It could only charge with the phone on....SO maybe try flashing a newer better ROM i recommend CM10.
Another thing i had to do was switch this old charger i had it would recognize for 5 min then Stop. It was just a bad wire connection.

The problem is I cannot get it to turn on at all. I was running CM10 and have tried 4 different charger/usb cables.

Sadly, the connection of this device is a known weak spot.. if its not doing anything when connected to some form of current.. all signs point to a dead port..
Hopefully that isn't the case..

I also went through this issue and i discovered that it will keep going through a battery icon and then off loop so the way to deal with this is as soon as you see the battery picture just hold the power button for like 2 or 3 seconds and then you should see the battery green indicator with the botton dots animation and it will Charge.

I am having the same issue as xtz as well. I cant get it to turn on. I flashed the Paranoid Android rom and it all went downhill from there. I flashed it and it had 10% battery left, by the end of the night it was at 1%. I went to bed and woke up with it only at 5%. I went back to stock then re-rooted it. I installed CWM but it wouldn't let me go into CWM recovery, only the Android recovery. Now the phone won't turn on at all, I have swapped batteries and USB cords with no luck. This is a brand new unit less than a week old, the battery is also less than 2 weeks old. Any help here? It won't turn on at all It does the same little ritual that xtz's does.

I had the same thing with mine when I first got it (used), I plugged it into the wall with a 2amp charger, left it overnight, and in the morning it was on and charged.

I already tried that and it seems to have messed up one of the batteries. The little loading circle will come on for a split second then it will go away, come back a few seconds later and it just loops. I plugged in the USB while holding the volume keys to try and get it into download mode but I'll get a warning message saying something about installing a different OS being dangerous, again, for a split second, and shuts off. It seems like the phone can't have any power go through it for more than a split second.

I'm having a similar issue with the phone not charging. But the phone won't PC or wall charger. But check this out I have a jigg for putting device in download mode when I connect it to phone. The phones goes in to download now when powered on. So what do guys think is wrong?

From the info you provided: the phone is not charging but the jig works.

Do I need a new battery or does it sound like the USB port shot?

Same thing happened to my daughters galaxy s2. Usb port is shot. I got her a battery wall charger and a couple spare batteries. Charged the battery, popped it in and turned right on.

My phone isn't recognizing a USB cable is plugged into the computer in fastboot

Hey guys, I have a softbricked Atrix2, I tried making a factory cable the other night, wired it correctly as far as I know, it turned on straight away without a battery into fastboot, but wouldn't recognize that a usb cable was plugged in (So power, but no data). And when I plugged in a normal usb cable with the battery in the phone still wouldn't recognize that a usb cable was plugged in. I am currently charging my battery right now, I wasn't having this problem before and am starting to think this phone is cursed by the devil himself . I'll be really disappointed if I charge this battery up and another problem arises, been waiting weeks for this charger. The phone was recognizing usb data cables without issue, tho of course I couldn't do anything because of the low battery, and suddenly it just stopped. Any ideas? Just don't want to spend all day trying to work this out because I've had a softbricked phone for weeks and only got to use it for all of about an hour .
More info: When I plug a normal USB in without a battery the white LED lights up and stays lit. Everything is pointing to power but no data... What would cause that and is there a fix
More more info: Battery OK
OK to program
Connect USB
Data Cable
Shows in device manager as "Unknown device", trying to force install of the "Mot single ADB interface" drivers just gives the error "The device cannot start (Code10), wont show up in ADB or RSD, and phone WILL NOT change status to USB plugged in. Time to think up a legit reason why my phone would say "Flash failure" and get a replacement?

A little more info maybe
What were you on before soft brick stock 2.3.6,2.3.5 or ICS???
How exactly did you soft brick it??
Have you tried getting the phone to start in the normal mode?(by pressing power+vol up+vol down and choosing boot normally???)

Went from 2.3.6 to stock 2.3.5 to OTA 2.3.6 to OTA leak to SCV7, phone kept crashing, tried to fxz back to 2.3.5 stock, said completely successfully but just bootlooped so I went to try again but the battery was low, so that's how I softbricked. And me being the impatient person I am I tried to make a moto factory cable with 2 non standard cables (Micro usb end from a mini to micro converter and the other end from something else), I'm sure I wired it correctly but I guess not, it booted into fastboot without a battery, but said connect usb cable, so I tried to plug in a normal usb cable (tried different ones) and it said the same thing. I shorted something out, the damage might just be on the micro usb PCB connector or it might be something worse. Yes I tried normal mode, no go, recovery works. So basically, my phone is now hardbricked because I'm impatient and screwed something up along the way. Now I have a 12 month warranty on the phone, can someone help me come up with a believable story that'll get me a new phone? Keeping in mind the phone boots into fastboot with (flash failure)

Trust me. The folks on the line at AT&T DON'T CARE.
Just BS your way through it. IE: I went to bed, plugged my phone in, woke up and the battery was really hot. Then the phone shut off and won't boot. Just play dumb.
All else fails. Hook that motherboard up to a car battery.

I bought it from a 3rd party seller (Mobicity.com.au). I think I might just go with "The phone kept crashing every 4-5 minutes, I tried to do the system update to 2.3.6 and the phone crashed halfway through, tried to turn it on again and it showed the Moto logo and something about a fastboot". Wish me luck guys .

Okay shipped it off, wish me luck guys, I'll keep you updated.

"Technicians needed to know which ROM used to update your handset?"
Not liking my chances with this at all. I got my dad to give them a call and act dumb, should be convincing because he honestly doesn't know what he's talking about. The phone says flash failed and he's denying ever flashing anything, I don't think a failed OTA update would give that error message so I don't think they're going to replace it..... .
EDIT: Dad called the technician and the tech said he's gonna fix it and that the motherboard was fried, looking good, phew!.

Update:
Your phone has been deemed unrepairable and as a result will be replaced by your place of purchase. Please contact your place of purchase and quote xxxxxxxx to arrange a replacement handset to be dispatched to you.

LG G3 - Fried battery and/or charging port?

Let me lay down the story first:
It all started when I tried out multiROM for the LG G3. I was running cm12 perfectly fine, unlocked and everything. Amazing battery life. But MultiROM barely worked, even though I followed the instructions exactly, I had many errors trying to get anything to boot properly. I got help with it, but ended up getting rid of multirom via internal storage (where it was) and flashing a normal, non modified TWRP 2.8.4.0. This is where stuff starts getting weird.
After getting rid of multiROM and flashing cm12 again from backup, I noticed my phone wouldn't take a charge at all. It was booted up and running at about 30% battery. My PC wouldnt do anything when I plugged it into my computer, too. I thought it was just Cyan being weird, so I rebooted into twrp and tried plugging in. No buzz, still wouldn't take a charge. For some reason, turning the phone off and plugging in the charger while it was off actually turned it on. So the charging port has to be working, the phones just being weird... but then I decided to smell the charging port. Smells like pure burning electronics. I rebooted the phone with the cable plugged in, and it boots up and charges. This is odd, because i can no longer plug the cable in while the phone is on, i have to reboot it with the cable in now in order to get it to charge. I tried flashing back to stock ROM, and same exact issue happens. Not only that, but the battery no longer holds a charge for more than a day on one full charge. It lasts about 3-4 hours now.
Please, xdaers, help a brotha out. I'm really pissed about whatever the hell is happening to my G3. It still works fine, I just have to reboot it with the cable in in order to get it to charge at all and the battery life sucks on top of that.
Note: One time after all this happened, the phone died fully. Plugging the charger in, the battery logo was flashing on and off. I tried multiple cables and chargers with the same problem. I pulled out the battery with the cable still in, and the battery logo actually stayed on the screen and once I put the battery back in, it charged again. THIS IS MAJORLY CONFUSING and hard to explain so I will clarify my issue if you are confused with my post.
Also, the phone likes to get really hot and die fast by itself even without the charger plugged in now.
thanks guys

Good luck!

So you flashtooled back to stock? And still persists? If so you next option is to buy both a battery and a charging port and do some trouble shooting.

Don't know about the charging port, but as far as battery life I'm getting the same thing, except mine lasts about 2 hours, I've decided I'm selling the phone while its still worth a bit of money, probably getting a Note 2 or Xperia Z2, I've been very unhappy with this phone, also my battery cover is falling apart and cracking,

Well I've had none of your problems. Note 2 or z2 is a downgrade. Have fun with that... Sucks your experience hasn't been a good one. Cheers

I get 13+ hours with 4 to 5 hours screen on time and 1to 2 hours of talk time. So I don't think your battery issue is normal for this phone. You have either a defective battery or phone or an app that is misbehaving.

I'm having the exact same problem with LG G3.
Can only charge when rebooted. And even then the charge indicator does not show charging.
I have to go into setting->battery where it shows 'charging'
I have tried new battery and cleaning port.
Anyone figure this out...?

My battery drained very fast before too after backed up to stock, but after I upgraded to 5.0, my phone can lives up to next morning!

Battery completely dead or other hardware issue? [semi-resolved]

Hi All, my wifes s6 (using xtrestolite rom) has stopped taking a charge. Im trying to figure out what the issue is. Unfortunately im travelling for the next month so have limited trouble shooting options.
Background
- wife has been complaining that her phone battery dies quickly. I kind of dimissed her assuming it was in her head. she said it loses 10percent in standby mode in 1hr roughly. Shes been complaining about this for a week.
- yesterday at the airport her battery was at 12% and when we plugged it in to charge it wouldnt take a charge. Bolt icon did not come up and still said "connect charger" on the screen. Normally when connected the red Led comes on, but now it doesnt.
-our normal chsrging method is using and aukey 3port charger as fast charging mode.
Troubleshooting/diagnosis
- i have an s6 as well so i tested all the cables and chargers on my phone and it works. We even had the official samsung charger and cable but same issue.
- after the phone was completely dead, if you plug in the charging cable the charging bolt icon comes on for a few sec, the top left says "kernel is on seandroid enforcing" for a sec and then everything goes blank. Red charging led doesnt come on. So it seems like it detects the cable but wont charge enough to boot up.
- i was able to boot into twrp recovery but where its supposed to have a battery level its completely blank. Originally i was able to do this without any canles but then it wouldnt. My guess is that i orginally had a bit of juice and then it was completely dead.
-after leaving it plugged in for a sec, im able to turn it on where it boots and i can see it says 0% battery. It stays on for 5sec before turning off itself.
- i also tried plugging it into laptop, but laptop does not detect it. The phone does detect the power though and does the same as above but this time bolt charging icon stayes on for 1-2min before going off and seeing the "kernel is on seandroid icon". Once the seanadroid goes away nothing seems to happen. After doing this i was able to turn it on and it showed 1%. I thought this was promising but after trying this a few times ive never been able to get to 1percent again.
- with the brief charge thst i guess its getting, i was able to go i to twrp recovery and do a factory reset. This was with cable plugged in the whole time. Without cable in i dont think it would complete the action.
That about summarizes whats happened.
Ive concluded the following:
- charger and cables are ok and not the issue
- it is not the charging port since the phone does seem to be getting some juice bacause charging icon comes on for 2sec whenever cable is plugged in.
- its not a software/app issue since it wont charge even in recovery mode. Also factory reset was done and no luck.
My best guess is that the battery can only hold a 0-1% charge which is enough to register it being plugged in but not enough to do anything else. But if everything else is ok shouldnt it work when if the cable is just left in. This makes me think theres something else going on.
Any suggestions or theories would be much appreciated trying to decide if i should pay to get battery replaced.
Sorry for the long post. Figured it is best to give all info.
Thanks in advance!
Update June 3:
Hey everyone, just a correction on the above. It looks like it is able to charge in recovery (slowly). I realized that although there is no battery level during recovery, no charging led, and not booting up after being charged for a bit, maybe its just going slowly.
So i went into recovery and left it overnight on the non-fast charging and woke up after 8hrs and it was at 78percent!!!
Im not sure why it didnt go to 100% in 8hrs.
The phone still doesnt charge regularly when plugged in, so still need to fix that.
Do you guys think its a rom issue (only factory reset done before) ? I will see if i can get a rom for flashing.
Update 2:
Reflashed xtrestolite rom but still no luck. It wont charge.

Seems like a dead battery.

Bump.
Went to the phone store and they said its probably not the battery but the ic chip for charging? This will cost 150, but doesnt include the screen if they break it...
Does this make sense since i can charge in recovery.
Thanks. Any direction or input is much appreciated.

Go on the local store and change your battery (if isn't in warranty)

Hi all, just wanted to update the post that the issue is semi-fixed.
I brought it into a repair shop who offered to diagnose the problem for free before paying to replace the battery.
He told me there was nothing wrong with it and not sure what my issue was. Plugs in the charger and lo and behold it was charging. He said he didnt do anytning to it except blow some compressed air on the port.
Im guessing the comporessed air cleaned out a short? So now it charges properly.
The issue remaining is that the pc doesnt detect the phone. It shows as charging on the phone but no conmection. Tried to install the latest samung driver (1.5.4xxx?) but no luck. On occation sometimes it says "usb port has malfunctioned" but other times nothing.
My s6 does actually connect, so definitely my wife's s6 itself and not comp. Im tempted to buy some comlressed air and give it ankther blow, but dont want to risk messing it up again. im pretty happy that it at least charges up.
Hope this helps others that might have similar issue.
