Is my USB port broken? Please i'm so confused....help!

I've reading some FAQs and Wiki articles before make this question.
Last weekend my Kaiser crashed into the floor (a very very very soft fall) and the battery jumped out the phone.
I put the battery, and in the first boot.... Ooops!! Tricolor screen showing:
"Hardspl 3.29
Serial "
There is a quick splash screen showing "No image file".
I've tried to boot several times, and i get into OS once, but the pda works so slow.
Solutions that i've tried:
a) MMTY prompt. Boot command doesn't work and i dont know the "boot command" for Hardspl 3.29. Anyway, i dont want to mess with MMTY and get a brick...
b) When i get into OS i tried to connect via Activesync (to reflash Hardspl) but...
After JumpSPL I get "Jump Tricolor Screen"
I unplug usb, uncheck "USB Connections", plug USB... but KaiserKustomRuu doesnt work! It closes after executing it. (The day that i flashed hardspl 3.29 i did it the same way, and everything went ok)
What can i do?
Please help!!!
(I dont care loosing data, i only want recover the pda)
EDIT:
Hi there.
Finally i did this:
- Re-flash HardSPL 3.29 (via MicroSD)
After that, OS always booted (WM 6.0 Official HTC)
However, Activesync does not work. When i plug the usb cable, the battery begins charging and activesync runs on PDA and Pc, but PC says that connection is not possible. I've tried with 2 or 3 computers with same results.
(Allow usb connections is marked)
Also, all the OS gets so so so slow when usb cable is plugged.
Then i did:
- Hard Reset to back default WM 6.0 official ROM
* No way. ActiveSync does not connect.
- Flashing a cooked Rom (WM 6.5 spanish) and a new radio (from 1.27.12.32 that i always used with WM6.0 to 1.70.19.09)
* No way. No i have Hardspl 3.29, WM 6.5 spanish cooked rom, and 1.70.19.09 radio. Everything seems to be ok...except for Activesync.
Please...help....
EDIT 2:
Ok.... i've tried to access MTTY prompt but it was impossible.
When i plug the USB cable i get an error in the computer (device not recognized), but PDA screen changes between "serial" and "usb".
After 20 or more tries i got into MTTY prompt, but that was the last time until now.
So... i think that mi usb port is broken ( is not the cable or the computer, i used some cables and computers)
I've tried to move the usb connectors with a pin, slowly, and i have cleaned evertything, but nothing happens.
What may i do?
How can i check my flash/nand to check errors? Of course, i need to check it but not using USB !
USB port is charging the battery, and windows attempts to install the device (Windows mobile device, as says) but the installation is not finished.

So you are unable to use activsync at all on your phone?

UPDATED the first post.
Is my PDA - USB port broken?

I hate to tell you this.. But a work around could be to Activesync via Bluetooth... Now a days you can get a USB Bluetooth dongle for $5 or sell... My stepsons USB port is so broke that he has 3 batteries and a stand alone battery charger.. he jsut swaps batteries when it dies... He syncs via bluetooth and has no problems....

So, once you have read the entire post...
Do you think in a software or an hardware problem?
Bluetooth sync is a good option, but i would like to investigate a little.
I've reflashed HardSPL, ROM and RADIO but i think that there are more bad data sectors.
How can i check my flash/nand to check errors? Of course, i need to check it but not using USB !

Try flashing an Android ROM
Hi,
I had the same problem on my phone for about 6 months. I completely gave up on it. A few days ago I successfully flashed an Android ROM to NAND but ended up flashing back to WinMo. Surprisingly my USB activesync / headset adapter started working again!!
I'd give it a shot if I were you. Worked for me

The phone is fully syncronized with ActiveSync

you can try other usb slot or a new computer .

1) To be ultimately sure, take out everything that is connected on all USB ports (and I mean, ALL) EXCEPT your Xperia. Also, uncheck the "Advanced Network Functionality" of ActiveSync.
2) If you have the same problem after following my advise, change to another USB port. Try every single port.
3) If you still get disconnections, try another computer (or laptop).
4) Problems still persist? then check your USB cable itself (or the USB ports) if it is faulty.

Cannot get serial to usb in bootloader

For some odd reason I can no longer get the the "serial" status to change to "usb". It charges but does not connect to activesync. I flashed many many times so I am not a noob at this but I might be making a noob mistake.
What I am using: SPL 1.54 (I use USPL 2.5). I am currently using Miri's v23 manilla 2.5. I am using the same pc (xp) and cables to flash.
What I've tried:
- used 3 different pc's and the original pc
- 4 different usb cables
- ticking/unticking the "enable faster data syncing" box in settings>connections>usb to pc
-ticking/unticking "allow usb connections" in activesync
-if I leave the cable in AND THEN put the phone in bootloader mode, the status is blank. When I remove the cable, it returns to "serial"
When the phone is on, it just doesn't seem to react (vista and xp)to the cable being plugged in. The led just shows that it's charging.
I pulled an all-nighter and I'm stumped.

Maybe you need to update the USB drivers. Same thing happened to me but it worked after updating the USB drivers as per this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524619

I forgot the most important part-
Since the pc does not recognize that there's something plugged in, I cannot select the "HTC USB Sync" under device manager and proceed with updating the drivers. I don't think I need to but at this point I'm trying everything.
Unless there's another way of updating drivers without the phone showing up on the device manager...

Updated the usb drivers by plugging in an old htc device. The pc was able to recognize the other htc device and was able to switch from serial to usb.
But after the update, there was no improvement for the blackstone status.

Anyone? The phone still doesn't recognize the usb cable whether the phone is on or in bootloader, it just charges.
Any help is appreciated!

Seems something wrong with your device. Try to hard reset and do it again?
Or if you still cant connect to usb. there is another way to upgrade without connecting to pc. After upgrade to new ROM, try it again whether it can connect to pc or not? Here is some tips for you.
Connect your SD card to PC through microSD card. Copy all files from your SDcard to new folder in your PC. Then, right click on the microSDcard disk-->full Format by FAT32 (this step is very important).
After formatting SDcard, copy back all files to SDcard . Rename .nbh to BLACIMG.nbh (for Blacktone) and copy it to SDcard.
Insert your SDcard back to Touch HD. Turn off your device by Power button.
Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.
After that your device with have a white screen with text " Press to power button for continue upgrade" press power button and it will start upgrade Rom.
You can check this video for more practical actions on youtube.(this video for HTC diamond2 but it's almost the same with Blacktone just different in rename step)
Hope it helps and cheer

Thanks for the tips =)
I've did a hard reset twice and still no luck.
I've tried to flash through SD but since I use USPL, it just hangs when I try.
If I have SPL 1.54.0000, is there something that can be flash through the SD without USPL?

I have not tried this. I am on HSPL 1.56olinex but you can try my suggestion cause I think it's the only one you can choose now. I never ever use USPL. I think you can do it step by step and carefully.

USB only works in SPL. No device found when in WM

It was always working. But now when I connect it to the PC. Only battery charging, no usb device recognized (nothing will show in my computer). I have tried different PCs, all are the same.
And if I boot into Hardspl four color screen, usb can be found. So I flashed different Radios and Roms, even latest stock WM6.1 ROM. Still the USB only works in SPL but not Windows Mobile Interface.
I think it maybe a software problem. But since it is now with stock WM6.1 and Radio, what can I do further?
Thanks!

try to disable "Enable faster data synchronization" under the USB to PC settings and try again.
the USB to PC settings are usually in Start->Settings->Connections.
other than that, i can't think of much else but i'm certain someone else can come up with some more suggestions.

Thanks! I have tried that already after searched over google and xda. But it doesn't work. No usb device show up when I connect the Kaiser. Only battery charging.
Does spl USB mode use different pins from Activesync? Forgot to say, I flashed Hardspl with force-usb.
Maybe like this, the USB port detects PC host before it activate USB function. In spl, the "force-usb" gets the USB port always activated.

changing the radio isnt going to make a blind bit of difference, although stating which rom you flashed and what windows version (PC) you are using might!
If its xp totally uninstall active sync and download the latest version from microsoft and install that
If its vista then download the latest version of WMDC and install that
also after flashing the rom, as soon as you have aligned the screen and customization has completed soft reset and when it reloads go and clear storage.
Did you have a biug storage rom installed before it failed to connect to USB?
Thats about all i can suggest till you supply more info

Thank you for those suggestion. I thought flash new roms will automatically hard reset the Kaiser. I will try to use "clear storage".
The rom I last used is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533617
Before I flashed this rom, usb worked fine.
The problem is no device shown in Windows device manager, not even unknown device. Just like nothing has been plug into the USB port. But same cable and port work with another X1

i'm having the same problem as well after flashing b16b rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3996365&postcount=826
anyone have the solution ? even i chg the spl and flash the stock rom my activesync still won't functioning..the usb port only able to charge the battery only

I would check your pins in the charging port and make sure you can see 5 pins on top and they are not bent

What to do when computer doesn't recognize phone plugged?

I have a problem with the diamond and needs to change ROM/SPL and other stuff, but it won't recognize that the phone has been plugged in. I have tried 5 different USB cables and 3 different computers. I don't have HTC warranty. I've done 5+ hard-resets.
Please help.

First, what OSes? For instance: win 7 doesn't recognize the phone if it tries to connect in active sync mode.

I've always used windows xp, in the past it worked.

hi,
try to connect your htc twice : my computer does not recognize my htc at first plug but when I retry in less than 1 minute, my htc displays popup menu and I can choose USB/active sync, I click done and then my computer recognizes it. I don't know if it will work with your device but you can try that ^^

Thanks for the suggestion,
I've already tried that a lot of times, nothing doing.

ok, did you try to change the status of your usb connexion ?
I mean : settings>connections>usbtoPC> then try these 4 combinations together :
- enable faster data synchronization (try both modes on/off)
- ask me about usb connection type (try both modes on/off)

I can get into bootloader, but never know that you could flash ROM in there. Is there a guide?
Also, I have a problem with a flickering screen that some threads here suggest changing SPL version to fix. Is it possible to change SPL using bootloader?

I just downoaded WM6.5 to my phone and did a ROM flash from internal storage, but USB still has problem & flickering screen still there. I need to be able to change the HardSPL w/o connection to the computer.
Is it possible to load some of the .exe in the HardSPL package and run it on the phone?
Someone help,
Thanks

Perhaps it's simply due to your PC firewall ?? Deactivate it and try to plug your htc again...

the problem is that my the computer doesn't connect with the phone via the USB cable.

just try to disable your PC firewall before connecting your device.

sorry I cannot find CustomRUU.exe on this forum, i did find DiamondCustomRUU.exe on the wiki. However, the interface for it is the same as the RomUpdateUtility.exe, which requires activesync connection.
I did proceed anyways by entering bootloader(Voldown + softreset) and run the utility -> nothing works. Then I try the USB trigger mode (Voldown + back + softreset) and run the utility -> nothing works.
I am tempted to put the HardSPL in the internal storage and rename it DIAMING.NBH and flash it but I do not know the consequences.
Thank you for your replies,
I'd appreciate more help
