Well topic says it all. I have a phone that has a busted port. I tried to one click restore back to stock when the port died so not only does it have a bad port it failed during flashing so it can't even boot up. What options do I have?

Questions go in Q & A forums.
How do you know port is bad?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Depends on where in the process the flash failed, it could be hardbricked or may need to be jtagged to rewrite the bootloader. If it won't boot into download or recovery mode and only has a solid blue led then its toast. Otherwise with a bad port and no OS you dont have many options. I honestly dont even think there's a way to flash something from stock recovery without a USB port or OS to move the zip into cache so stock recovery can flash it. And the only other option is Odin which again without a working USB won't do you any good. And like blues said questions go in Q&A you know Q(uestions)&A(nswers)

Sorry about wrong forum.
The phone can go into recovery and download mode. I am assuming the port is broke BC I can't charge the battery through it and the computer doesn't recognize the phone when plugged in and in download mode.
This is what I feared! So phone is pretty much a paperweight. Arg...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Well I take it back, I think only a couple pins in the port is broken BC I can use the USB jig to get the phone into download mode. So the port is not completely broken. I don't know what pins are used for whatever process but charging and data sync no gooo. I have tried several dif cables including the Samsung one and a blackberry one.

Tried a different usb cable? Maybe the male pins are borked. I had one that got slightly bent and it wouldn't charge for sh*t but would let me transfer files just fine go figure

Well then you are screwed. Good luck getting a new phone if $40 is too much to send it out, get it fixed and have it back where you can flash it all day long.

tried mounting normally
tried on several Win 7 machines (comes up as Unknown device)
tried on several Linux machines (it no longer gets detected)
i'm unable to do USB on the Go anymore, it was able to before
the problem started after i pluged in MHL adapter to HDMI
it still works on HDMI if i plug in the MHL
but, i can't find a way to reverse it
i tried even Wiping Data, Wiping DalviK, and Wiping Cache
i even tried flashing a new ROM in CWR

i know a few guys had similar issues here before about losing USB or it not longer being detected
i just wanted to compare notes, and see if they also had this happened after doing something with he MHL adapter or something else.
yeah, it kinda sucks now, i won't be able to depend on Odin to save me any more

the Note is not stable in Tmo, i can't use it as a phone yet, not reliable enough
i also had the same problem on the Note after trying the HDMI on it
however on the Note i can still do USB on the Go
Yesterday my computer was not reading my device either, but after a reboot it was good to go.

that's definitely not it, as i'm in a computer lab, i have access to over a dozen computers & laptops of all sizes to test, and i pointed that out already on the OP message
try with different usb cables, it might solve that problem.
Did you super wipe? Also, try a USB jig to get into download.

hopefully it's just the cable. Also, if you have spare Nokia CA-101D usb cable, try with that. It might work.

Hopefully, that's what it is. I had the same problem with my Transformer. It would charge, but comps wouldn't recognize it through USB. It was solved by purchasing a new cable.
While not exactly the same, since the Transformer has a proprietary port, it seems to be a problem with integrated charging/data cables being used today. The internal wires that carry the data fail, but the power wires remain functional.

Update
It was indeed the HTC USB cable that decided to quit on me
the faithful servant has been with me since like forever... oh well, at least it still can retire as a charging only cable. (gonna sort out the pins to get it to be detected as AC cable instead of USB csble)
tried the original one from Samsung and another one from BlackBerry and they both work fine, even the cheap generic ones from China

I had the same problem with my HTC cable and I called HTC and they replaced it with another one without asking me to return the old one..I was still under manufacturer warranty.. I called Samsung the other day and asked if my cable died on me will they replace it.. They said yes, but I will have to send in the old one first so they can check it before sending me another one.. See how different company do things..crazy.

Can you elaborate more on how it's not working? (Doesn't charge, doesn't hook up to PC, etc?) Sounds silly but the answer to this might change what you get back from others as far as advice.
Does not hookup to PC charges fine.

Then your usb cable is working. Do you have the proper drivers installed on your pc? Is it the usb port on the pc? Do the basic trouble shooting.
Its USB port and i'm sure something its wrong with it
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
My phone thinks it's charging all the time and will randomly connect to USB storage when it's not hooked to a PC. I was on cm9. J flashed el26 with clockwork, restored nandroid , and flashed a pulled stock kernel with stock recovery. Then used z4root apk to remove root. Took it back to Sprint and they ordered me a replacement white phone (mine was black, purchased on launch day.)

I was in odin attempting to go back to stock and my screen went completely green during the process, left it plugged in hoping it would just keep working, but odin stopped. I am pretty sure my battery died during the process (very dumb of my but I was paying little attention to battery beforehand). I eventually pulled the battery, and now I cannot get any response from my phone at all. Won't charge, won't go back to odin. Any suggestions?
Battery CPR. Pop it in and out and try to get back into download mode. The colored screen is a sign of a bad cable. Get a heavy duty blackberry cable. You can also try with no battery and the usb cable in the computer to get into download mode. It will go in eventually.

Interestingly enough, it seems to be a combination of cheap cables vs. usb ports. My laptop can Odin first time, every time with the stock Samsung cable. However, my work computer fails 19/20 times unless I use the smaller stockier Blackberry cable I have.
Is your work computer a desktop? And if so are you using the USB ports in the rear directly on the motherboard?

It's a desktop, and I've tried all 6 ports, 4 in the back, 2 in the front. Same results all around. Of course, this computer is a relative beast, but it seems to have usb issues regardless.
On the other hand, my home desktop has no issues as well, I just don't use it as much as my laptop. Develop alone in a dark room? Nah! I develop on the couch watching Big Bang Theory with my wife and son.
