[Q] Updating without a computer - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The USB port on my Z1 Compact is broken such that it intermittently disconnects. It's bad enough that I've had to switch to the magnetic charger. I want to update to Android 5.0, but am pretty sure the USB connection will fail mid-update and my phone will be bricked. So is there any way to update without having to connect to a pc? My phone is not rooted or unlocked.

USB connection error

Hey guys, I'm currently in the process of flashing my phone to stock 2.1 (debranded) so I can update to FroYo OTA. However, shortly after running the ROM update utility I got a ERROR[171]: USB CONNECTION ERROR message, which is telling my that my phone isn't connected by USB anymore
I haven't touched the USB cable or anything. Now the utility is stuck on usb connection error and my phone on a black htc screen.
Do I disconnect the cable and start again? Or will this brick my phone? It wasn't far into updating (about 15-45s) so will my phone be ok?
There is no LED to say that the phone is connected and it's been like this for over 5mins now.
Ah wait: Never mind. It's done now.
Same happened to me. Pull the battery out and after reinserting your phone should start ok, at least mine did anyway.

USB Not Working When Phone is On

Hello,
I have a problem when using usb connector on my Z1C
Charging using usb doesn't work when phone is on, but work when phone is off
USB not detected in PC when phone is on (and not charging of course), but working well on fastboot and flashmode
The magnectic charger is working.
I've tried using latest 4.3, 4.4.2 , and the latest 4.4.4 firmware but the usb problem persist.
Any help would be appreciated.
Check your PC.

Phone won't connect to PC or charge from a wall charger.

For some reason my phone will either not connect or connect and disconnect constantly to either one of my pc's and sometimes won't charge from a wall or car charger. I tried every cable I have so the cable is not the problem. I can turn the phone off and on several times, factory reset, flash the ruu via sdcard and then maybe I can get my phone to connect to my PC. I was able to connect my phone to my PC after trying for 45 minutes and flashed the developer ruu. My phone rebooted after a successful flash and now the problem is back again. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
One more thing...HTC car mode starts up on its own sometimes and sometimes when I plug the phone into my PC.
Edit...I called HTC and they told me that because I unlocked the bootloader, I can use my uh-oh warranty and get a free replacement. So that is what I'll do. My phone was always acting goofy anyways.

looks like a hardware issue, replace
Exactly the same thing is happening to me and I have no clue what to do.. Any ideas ?
Try cleaning the usb port with a pin.

How do i root my Z00AD if my PC wont recognize it connected on USB?

For some ****ed up reason my PC doesn't recognizes my Z00AD on USB. I get an error message saying it "malfunctioned" and it won't appear in the drivers list or be recognized on adb.
Already tried differente cables and ports.
Already installed Asus USB drivers.
Already installed universal ADB drivers.
Tried everything...
How can I root my device using any other method?
Can anyone help?
Lollipop or marshmallow? Or what rom?
Is this for when phone is on?
Does it work when booted into boot loader?
Did it work anytime prior?
Could be USB port on device stuffed most likely. Easy to replace.
Tried another USB port and or computer?
AND I wouldn't be trying to root until device connectivity sorted

Lollipop, on stock. Bootloader or OS.. doesn't work =(
It worked perfectly until the USB port broke, and i had to replace it. That was a few months ago, then i got a new phone and left the Zenfone2 as a replacement. But recently i wanted to use it again, and wanted to install an alternative rom. Could be the quality of the replaced USB port is bad -=(.. I'm stuck..

So straight forward, new USB port not connected correctly or faulty
