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.

I have been working with android phones for over a year now and have never had this happen ! I went to the software update in the phone and clicked check now button and it said software update available. So I went ahead and downloaded the software and when it was finished downloading went ahead and started the install and left the phone when I came back to it the screen was black and nothing was happening ! By the way I left the phone for at least 2 hours so I tried turning it on and got nothing I put usb to see if it needed to charge and got orange light but still not turning on. Tried to go into fastboot power volume down and got nothing what is going on with this device why won't it turn on ? What can I do to fix this ? please help me !
Thank you in advance for any help I can get !
Maybe the battery is dead, I'd try a noun charged battery and see if it works then.

No it is not the battery as it will light the back lights when I plug in the usb cord and it also shows the orange charging light until it is fully charged I have now tried the unbricking process but the computer can not see the phone I have to fix this thing soon or else I will have to buy a brick for more than it is worth !
Please if there is anyone who can help me solve this I would be very grateful !
Have you tried to get in hboot ? pull the battery Hold Vol - and then pwr till it opens h boot .

Dang , well there is a tread on unbricking the vivid , I think its called the unbricking project or something like that if you wanna check it out maybe it can help , if ya can't find it I will try and link it for ya just lmk , I'm the mean time maybe some of the other guys can help .

Yes I have tried the unbricking and it can not find bricked device ! This is driving me crazy ! I don't need a brick I have a wood house and fireplace needs no repair I would like phone back !
just one thing I didn't ask , you did pull the battery and tried to hboot ? I know that may be a dumb question but its worth a shot .

I do believe that to get into H-boot with this device you have to remove the battery ! So to answer your question yes I did pull the battery then tried to get into H-boot. And I think that I have also stated that I have been working with android phones for over a year but I think it has been more like two and have rooted and sim unlocked many androids so for this to happen to me at this point is just not acceptable I have a clean record as far as bricks go and would like to keep it like that I have even unbricked phones for people that have bricked them ! Thanks to xda and others for all the help along the way ! I hope someone here can help me solve this !
I did read the first post but it was a few days ago so I have forgotten some , I'm just trying to come up with anything I can to help so I guess I am at a loss and can't help in this situation but I'm sure some one can and hopefully they will .
Good luck hope you get it fixed .

I must thank you for trying and I appreciate the fact that you took the time to respond I also wish that you could have solved this for me but it looks like we both don't know what to do ! Is there anyone else out there that can help ! Or even tell me if I am wasting my time and to put my first brick in the wall ?
Well...im assuming you were stock since you were doing a software update...
So why don't you just send it to HTC? They have a year warrenty on every device that should cover this since it is a software update malfunction...even if it was rooted with custom Roma and a different hboot, they likely wouldn't even know since you can't even get to hboot

This might be an option but I don't know if bootloader was unlocked and don't know if they can tell if it was or not ? And this is not my phone just doing this for a friend and still haven't told her that her phone is a brick ! Sending it to htc would take weeks if not months and she was thinking I would have already returned the phone to her two days ago ! Pulling my hair out and banging my head against the wall needing fix for this !

They won't be able to tell since you can't get in hboot...and it wouldn't take long at all...all they would do is send you a replacement after they receive yours...tjeyre not gonna thoroughly.examin it...they don't have the time...they go through hundreds if not thousands of replacements everyday
Anyways...your friend would have to send it in since its her phone...just let her decide...don't think there's much else.you can do

Well I have contacted HTC and this was there response
"Dear My Name,
I am sorry to hear your device is no longer powering on after an update. I will be glad to assist you with this.
Can you press and hold the power button for about a minute to see if the device will power on? If this does not work, try removing the battery and then place the battery back in the device and try to power it on.
If this does not resolve the issue, My Name, we will need to perform a factory reset. Please note that this procedure will delete all personal data, customizations, and files from your Vivid, so be any information on the device that is not already backed up will be permanently deleted. If you have an SD card in the device, please remove it prior to factory resetting.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the Volume Down button, and then briefly press the Power button.
2. Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the Volume Down button.
3. Press Volume Down to select Clear Storage or Factory Reset, and then press the Power button.
.
Once the factory reset it complete, the device should power on and then will prompt you to set the device up with your email accounts, etc. If this does not resolve the issue you will need to speak with your carrier for more information on having your device repaired. They will be able to answer any questions you have about the warranty and repair process.
If I have successfully answered your questions, I would like to invite you to participate in our customer satisfaction survey about your experience with HTC Technical Support. Corey, you will need to close your ticket with us and you should receive a pop-up asking if you would like to take the survey. To do this, please follow the link below to reply to this message and select "Close" next to "Action" to close out the ticket and the pop-up should appear asking you to take the survey. I hope you have a great week!
LOL I think htc thinks I'm a noob ! But joking aside looks like I have to contact Bell Canada and see if they are going to replace the device or maybe they will want me to do a factory reset as well lol I will keep you updated ! Thank you all for your suggestions and if there is anyone that can tell me how to fix this thing you would be saving me a whole lot trouble !
Hello xda, I just want to ask what did happen to my G1, I'm just using it ordinarily everyday but a few days ago something happen, it cannot boot but only led lights flashing, I can't even reach the recovery or bootloader, is this a hardbrick or something? I'm using a froyo rom I forgot what rom it was and I also using the right radio and SPL combo required for that but I don't know what happen, It just can't boot. Help please.
Is it just blue led? If so then yes its bricked and you need JTAG, if not you may be OK, but as to what happened that's hard to say
May be a battery issue but with LEDs flashing less likely, try to get a PC to recognize, try charging over night and testing with PC again, try booting without SD or sim, try any button combo you can
no not blue

Hello again dem, since my phone can't boot, my laptop can't recognize it, and I'm confident enough to say that my bat. don't have any problem, I do have a universal charger and my battery are charging using it, one strange thing, I also have a cabled charger for my G1 which has a led light as well, I've tried charging it using that and the led light of my charger are blinking which means it is charging but the led light of my G1 was not blinking, I really don't know what happened to my G1, I hope you could give me some help, any way I tried to search for what JTAG is, but I think I can't do it since I don't have any ideas when regards to the hardware aspect of android, I'm even a noob on software aspect of adroid devices.
P.S.
I forgot to say this, sometimes another strange thing happen on my G1, whenever I try some button combo to reach either recovery or bootloader, my buttons and keyboards have lights but my screen is totally blocked out.
Sorry to say but I'm thinking your motherboard is shot. Send me a pm when you get a min. May be able to help you out

hi again dem, I don't think its on the battery, call me crazy or anything but still remember N70? I have one, though their battery differs in size yet their gold energy conductor or whatever they call it is just the same. Since the battery of the G1 are easily drained I need to have two battery but since I'm from Philippines I have hard time looking for battery of my G1 that's the reason why I used my N70 battery on it as a backup whenever my G1 runs out of its juice. Before I can successfully use my N70 battery ( I just place a paper or anything on its side and lower portion to make the fit right) but since the problem on my G1 occurred even my N70 battery are useless and unusable because it still don't boot. I know my problem is a weird one but I'm looking for a way to recover it without modifying or replacing its hardware. Don't have money for it. Hope you could help me with this. thanks.
P.S.
I never run any problem before using my N70 phone, its maybe because they have the same voltage which 3.7 the thing is their capacity. For you to believe me I attached here the photo of my G1
Hello !
A few weeks ago my XZ fell down and the display (glass,lcd,touch) was broken so i had to fix it. I decided to fix it by myself, i bought a display and started to do it on my own. Everything went fine. After I finished i wanted to charge my phone and the red (bright) led was on. I knew, that this was the symbol for charging so i was happy and waited a few minutes. But my phone never went on, there was no Sony Logo, no battery logo, nothing, no vibration. I decided to take another look into my phone, and checked if anything wasn't right reconnected, but everything was correctly. With still no success i thought, the battery was dead (because it lay down about 4 weeks with no power) and ordered a new battery. I inserted the battery, but all i got was this damn constant red light. (at the beginning its a bright light and then switches to a darker light).
I read about 5 Million forums and got in contact with flashing my device. First i tried it with the Companion (no success), later with flashtool (no success).
All i have to say is that, i dont even now if my screen is working, i easily come in fastboot/flashmode and i'm definitly at the end of my possibilities. I need someone's help, and if you say my phone is completely damaged, then please say, so i can stop working on this matter and sell it!
Thank you very much, and sorry for the long read.

Maybe motherboard got damaged or check the connections
I checked again my inner phone and, okay im new in fixing phones, but it seems to me that nothing got damaged, everything looks fine, the flex bands don't look different as they are shown in the videos. The connections are 100 % connected. But i have to admit: New battery -> not working, check connections -> all are stable , PC companion repair -> nothing. After all i think i destroyed something but i cant figure out what. On Monday i'll go to a repair shop and let them check what's the issue. If somebody has another idea, please let me know, i will try to repair it then.

Hey thanks for answering! As i mentioned in my starting post, my PC detects my phone without any problem. I also used PC Companion to repair my phone. So i dont think it's a software matter. Also Flashtool detects my phone, i could even install a new software.
But i gave my phone today to a repair shop, they'll analyse the problem... for 20€.
I'll tell you what exactly is damaged in a few days if somenone has the same problem like me.
I destroyed the Display Connector. Sold my phone for around 40 euro. -.-
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?
Thanks

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.
