Oxidation and sulfation don't occur instantly so maybe that's why it stopped working after two weeks.
I think there was a way to root via Wifi, but I cannot help you with that. Also, messing with stuff around can cause you to be stuck in a bootloop, and tobrecover from a bootlop you will need usb connection.
So you are pretty much on a dead end, sorry

[Q] Deadly injured Note

Hello, guys.. I'm having a real trouble with my Note. I bought it 3 months ago, but it seems that today's my "lucky" day and the microUSB connector isn't working anymore. At all. No charging, no "usb connected", no mass storage. It's not charging even when I turn off the phone and plug the charger.
So.. I guess I have to ask for a repair or a replacement. But here's the problem. I've changed both the kernel and the ROM and I have to restore the phone to it's original state before taking it to the service. I read the UNroot topic under the development section, but I didn't understand it well. I need to do it through the phone since I can't connect the device to my computer because of the malfunctioning microUSB port. I can't charge the battery either, so I'm stuck with only 36% power and I can't simply shoot in the dark. I turned the phone to save the power and I hope it should be enough to finish the operation, but I don't really know how to start it. I guess I have to download stock kernal and stock ROM and then flash it somehow (Mobile Odin!?), but I'm not sure and I really need your help.
Any help would be highly appreciated, I'll continue looking around for info.
10x in advance
a lot of users suggest others - who are having a similar problem with you, to try cleaning the usb port...

It looks clean. The cable is okay too. I'm working at Gameloft so we have lot's of micro-usb devices and they're working just fine with the exact same PC and cable.
Anyway, to be 100% sure - how to clean the port? I mean - it's so tiny little hole and there isn't any direct access to it.. But I think it's gone.. It randomly shows "charging" while the cable is not plugged at all. Then it stops.. and starts again.

Put stock rom on your external sd,install mobile odin pro from market and use it to flash the stock rom.And remember donot select ever root,inject su,inject mobile odin.And after it finish flashing,you can send it for service
Put a stock rom and then try cleaning the USB as someone suggested. My usb port would stop working at random and I cleaned the port with a toothbrush and it has worked ever since. That was 2-3 months ago.
Well, thanks guys.. I'll try the tooth-brush trick when I get home and if it fails to solve the problem, I'm gonna flash the stock ROM with MOP and take it to the service. I'll keep you posted.

Not a difference you "see" technically. From my understanding mobile Odin cannot touch bootloaders. Pc Odin can. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. From Chainfires first.post in his Mobile Odin thread, "While in theory Mobile ODIN can repartition and flash EFS and bootloaders, it will cowardly refuse to do so, for your own safety."

Assumign that you have a micro SD in the slot-
Take the micro SD out and connect it to your computer. Or use airdroid for file transfer over wifi. Whichever way you use, create a folder called firmware and put the .md5 in the folder and flash it through CWM or mobile odin.

You've got a hard brick, seems to be happening to many lately. Get a replacement or get the motherboard changed under warranty.

Was this brick caused by the S-Off and restore? or just randomly?

Apparently, it's random. Mine bricked like this too. They'll replace/repair it under warranty, they can't know about unlocked bootloader or s-off after a hard brick.

When I was trying to do MID change, part of the process puts the phone in QHUSB_DLOAD mode, I ended up getting out of it by shining a bright light on it a few times with it plugged into the computer and having a device manager open so I can see any changes. It took a few tries, but it got detected eventually.
Try that as well.

Hi, Thanks for the reply!! Im willing to try ANYTHING...the light was directed at the proximity sensors? and were u holding the power button? because if i hold the power button it goes in and out of the qhsusb mode but if i dont it just stays there
Correct that's what was happening to me too. Yes shine the light on the sensor. I will suggest keep trying. You don't have much to lose, unfortunately

UPDATE: Tried the bright light trick, tried holding all button combinations separately...tried everything..left the phone plugged into the pc, left it in the wall, still no red light but now when i connect it to the PC the device manager list just refreshes. No more qhsusb_dload it just refreshes over and over...i saw on a thread that some guy left his plugged in for 4 days and it came back on. Whats the chance of that happening for me?

If you have a QHUSB_DLOAD device then there is nothing to do. Your motherboard must be replaced.

[Q] Sony Xperia - Dead after plugging in charge cable!

I plugged charger cable into my phone tonight and the phone restarted, it then loaded up to the o2 logo screen which displays for a few seconds and then it reboots, it keeps doing this until i hold down volume up and the power button and it vibrates 3 times.
If i switch it back on it repeats the cycle of rebooting.
Anyone got any ideas ?
It also doesn't appear to charge if i plug a charge cable into it and when i connected the USB from the phone to my laptop with the phone on it made the laptop power off
Any help appreciated i tried xperia support but they weren't much help
Can u try charging it via laptop. Guess Ur system has crashed. The last option I could tell u is to flash the firmware again via PC companion or flash tool. Good luck

Thanks for the reply, i left the phone on for a bit and it no longer is stuck in a loop, it just flash's red light 3 times.
Nothing works to make it switch on and nothing happens if i plug it in to charge ?
doe's anyone know how i go about getting it repaired under warranty, Sony's on line help was less than helpful.
I got the phone from the car phone warehouse back in Feb, but my experience from my last phone going wrong is they don't want to fix it under warranty and find any reason to get out of it, also just read my insurance document and it states it won't replace/repair the phone if it should still be under warranty
How can a phone provider refuse warranty replacement of a clearly screwed up device? That's ridiculous :thumbdown:

Well I have found that the original charger cable is faulty, hence why it isn't charging!
I have used a new cable and if I use SUS to try and fix the phone then it will show a blue light...but then states that it can't find a driver for S1Boot Fastboot ? :silly:
Any ideas what this driver is and how to install it or is SUS meant to install the driver and my phone is to broken for it to recognise it ?
Thanks :good:

You can hard shutoff the phone and let it charge, its better to keep it always charged, just in case...

Go on the Sony website and organise a repair through them, It will be much faster and you don't have to deal with Carphone WH at all!
Just fill in a form or chat to someone online and they will give you the address to send it to free post.
Package it up and you can track it.
I wouldn't open it up but it sounds to me as if the battery is not connected or present, ive fixed a few Xperia Zs and if you remove the battery and plug it in the boot loop goes on and on.
As long as you haven't opened it, the white stickers under the flaps have not gone pink, its not physically damaged, you have not rooted it AND its still under warranty.... they should replace it!
If its your fault and you damaged it I think they charge £14 to return it or destroy it, whichever you prefer.
Good luck

Mini froze, now it wont respond...

Hello, my situation is this: S3 Mini running Carbon Rom 4.4.4 , flashed with TWRP. After running great for a few weeks, suddenly after charging all night the phone froze ( was on FB on CM Browser). It was totally unresponsive to any attempts so I pulled the battery ( this did happen a couple times before) and when I tried to restart, nothing. The phone responds to nothing, no download, no recovery, no charger.... battery is charged and I did try a different battery to no avail. The only response I get is if it is connected to a PC before I install the battery then when I install it (the battery) the PC tries to install u8500 usb rom drivers, which of course it never finds. Samsung device drivers are installed on the PC. Odin also fails to see it.
Is it dead? Is it salvageable? Can I recover any data off it?
Sorry for the new thread but it seemed I could not find a case exactly like mine.

There's no warranty on my device so taking it back is not an option. The phone was working fine for while so I suppose it's not the bootloader... what suprised me is that it happened outta the blue, not during start up... thanks for the advice though mate.

I think you can try with an usb jig or you can find someone with a jtag (there are millions of guides about those solutions, just google it). :good:

basically from what I've read, the jig you either buy off Ebay for 3$ or solder 300kΩ across pins 4 and 5 of a micro usb connector, But look it up before cause a nuclear holocaust

Honestly, I didnt think the jig would work, which is why Im not in much haste to do it, before you dump it though mate, try and find someone close to you with a JTAG setup.... I havent had much luck with that.
It was an ok phone... either I had high expectations or it was below the hype but that is just my 2 cents... at the end of the day it was a useful tool....

Z3 Compact....red light when plugged in...no power

Bought a z3 compact couple of weeks ago...worked fine for a bit and now its totally dead...meaning it wont power on but will show the red led when plugged in...was left on charge the whole night and still the led remains red..
I have tried installing companion to see if that helps as suggested online and that didn't work..
Any ideas as to what could be done?

I have the same problem, I changed the battery and it didn't solve it. No idea what's going on. My phone was running Firefox OS during almost two years without any problem, I didn't change anything regarding the software. It just doesn't switch on anymore, even with a new battery.
I had same problem on my xperia go. My solve is :
connect phone to pc and do not do anything. Red light need turn on again. Wait 30-60 minutes. When you see sony logo, wait 5 minutes around and plug it normal charger. You can open your phone. I hope it's work for you. Sorry for my bad english.
