USB is not working anymore

Hi !
I have the following Problem.
Charging via USB is working and also the headest, but icannot sync via usb or do anything else.
What can i do ?? Wheres the Problem ?

Question; Are you using a charger in the car?

Yes the original T-Mobile charger

Well I guess that must be the bad guy.. do you plug your phone in the charger before turning on the engine? That causes higher voltage peaks which can damage the USB-circuit.
Since your using the original charger supplied you should send your device in for repair.

OK, thanks for your answers.

What's the good way for charging the device in a car?
Thanks

The safest thing to do is to start the engine before plugging in your device.
Here is another thread about current overflow with the Tmobile car charger: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1686041&postcount=10

RE-INSTALL
Try re-installing active stink on your main computer.
Maybe that will sort it.

Hi i've the same problem. When the phone is turned on in the bootloader it doesn't say anything on the left bottom of the screen (normaly there was standing something like "USB"). and now its blank? ActiceSync isn't working eather and WM5 storage doesn't work. I only use the original USB cable and charger from the phone. when i plug in the usb it starts charging. but no usb connection.
Please help?

same problem as above, same as my Artemis, blown USB board. If its still under a year old send it for repair. Mine is over a year old now, so i cant get it fixed (unless i pay)

I just called T-Mobile Dutch, they will send him on repear. this is my second mdac3 in one year that needed to be send on repear. I hate it when i need to mis my telephone. hopefully when it comes back from repair it's fixed.
So if you got the same problem that USB is not working, you need to send it on repair. because you can do nothing about it
(fixes typefaults)

Nope, no respons from the computer or the phone

yeh, sounds like you need to send it for repair

Yeah, but before i can send him on repair, i need to flash the original rom back on the phone, but how can i do this without an activesync connection? is there a way to do it from the SD-card? Please help me, otherwise i cannot send my device on repair. thanks in advanced

yes the correct way is u start the engine then plug ANY ADDITIONAL instrument so that the output of the power outlet in your car will be from the dynamic distributor and not from the battery directly!!

[Q] USB doesn't work with computers, only charging. How to flash ROM?

for some reason Sony Thailand couldn't declassified, been like this since the first day. Going back and forth to service center tons of times and they COULDN'T FIX IT. My dad's Xperia Play won't connect to ANY computer, no bing-bong sound when plugging no nothing, not see anything on the phone except that it's charging, it's like the computers aren't existed, only the power gets through.
Now Sony still not fixing this problem, so for this old phone how can I unlock it and flash ROMs without a connection to PC? By any means.
Thank you!!

Have you tried changing usb cable? Maybe it is broken (mine got broken after a week or so, and it was the original one come with the phone of course), since it's impossible that they sold you a device with damaged micro-usb port.
Or maybe it is the usb port you're connecting it to: some PCs have a lower voltage in front usb ports, so you must connect the Play to the rear ones installed on the motherboard of the PC

I think they sold my dad a faulty device and when he tried to claim it after a week they didn't want to replace the phone so they told him they could't fix it. This country's Sony is known to sell faulty devices, my last Xmini was also broken...
and yes I did try other cables, Sammy, LG and some chinese made, nothing works. They did work with my Nokia N8 and S3, however. All the ports in my PC have failed, also.
so I can do nothing, stuck with RAM hungry 2.3 bloated ROM without any solution to make it faster.

by turn it off, and connect the device to the USB and press soft 'menu' key? Am I doing this correctly?
if yes then it doesn't work, nothing happens
or that I did it wrong, could you please enlighten me?

You can enter fastboot mode by keeping pressing the search button while connecting the Play to the PC.
If it's into fastboot mode, the led goes blue.

Maybe you flashed wrong ROM.
Try flashing a Stock using flashtool. Your motherboard is fine. Its just wrong kernel and rom you flashed.
Your phones RED led is working so there is still hope.
Charge the phone for some couple of Hours then use the flash tool.

If RIFF BOX Didn't repair your phone then your motherboard might have Short circuit. I tried that on my phone too but having short circuit doesn't let phone to boot up. Motherboard replacement is the only option.
Your processor is good but there is short circuit in your motherboard.
But as you said your have flashed wrong Firmware, that wont make phone to have short circuits. try with other boxes like OCTOPLUS, SETOOL.
My car Charger made my phone dead.

[Q] how the hell did the local shop is repairing my LG OG(hard bricked) without JTAG?

By mistake i flashed nexus 4 kernel to my og and hard bricked my phone. I went to local shop repairer and they opened the back of the phone and connect many wires to the board and connect it to pc.They did something in their pc(something in cmd, don't know exactly) and they said that software installation process went till 71% and the phone switched off because of low battery.Is this really possible without JTAG? or they telling lies?

That is in fact JTAG Riff. They open the phone and connect some wires to the back of the phone and transfer the needed files to bring back the phone to life.

is my LG G4 bricked? NOT bootloop, but some other issue [URGENT HELP NEEDED]

Hi folks,
I own a LG G4 AT&T version. Today, after charging to to 100%, I'd been using it normally, texting my friend. After taping the send button, I placed my G4 nearby and continued doing other stuff. & after sometime when I picked it up and double tapped the screen, it just didn't responded.
I pressed back button, I tried plugging charging cable to see whether LED is working or not, that was not working. I pushed out the battery and then put it back and tried turning on again and nothing happened at all. Its like still. Not responding at all. I tried the volume and power button combinations, tried hard reset, even tried connecting to PC and LG UP was unable to recognize, though it has all the necessary drivers installed.
I'm stuck badly, it was my daily driver, no warranty or official support in Pakistan, unfortunately.
is there any way at all to get it working or I should digest the bitter fact that its no more and move on?
Thanks.

Exact same thing happened to my wife's today... I'm at a loss. Still googling and searching this site.

Repaired n refurbished set Korean models only for 20k good condition factory stock cost aroud 24 international 25k ...take it technician see what he says

It does sound like a bootloop issue. Mine packed up last week and it is now on the way to LG repair centre here in UK. I was taking photos and put my phone into the pocket and when i took out I couldn't even turn it on. The phone was totally dead. However taking the battery out, putting it back in and trying to start the phone for numerous times it did eventually get into booting but of course it never goes past it due to motherboard failure. Try connecting to the charger and leave it for some time and maybe you'll get to boot screen but one thing for sure is that you can say all your data goodbye no matter how sad it is and LG bastards do not take any responsibility for it apart from replacing motherboard if it is within warranty.
