Phone wont charge

It says
Your phone is using more current than the charger can supply.
It happened out of nowhere too. Its weird. Any suggestions. I've tried reverting back to old Rome I had backed up. No luck. I've also tried a 3rd party extended battery. No luck there either. I originally rooted with the revolutionary root tool. How can I unroot and go to stock in case I need to have Verizon look at it ?

Tried different charger?

Tried my wall charger. Car charger and USB cord. Same result. Maybe my charging port is going out ?

That could possibly be it. It seems the charging port was built poorly

I just held down the USB cord down with my hand and was able to charge the phone without the message popping up. Now I just need help unrooting. It seems there are two ways of unrooting depending on the way u originally rooted. I rooted with the revolutionary tool and can't find out how to unroot. I could only find instructions on how to unroot if u rooted using alpha revx

it is the same way, you just need to flash the stock hboot and thats it.
also seems like the usb ports on these phones are constantly goning out it's happened twice to me on brand new dinc 2's

So I got back to the stock 2.2.1 Rom with s off by following the alpha revx unroot procedure. I want able to change my hboot though. Tomorrow I'm gonna see if I can get a replacement. Wish me luck lol

you can change hboot by flashing cwm and root files to the phone then using adb over wifi and use the unroot guide then update to gb, i did it 2 days ago

Restoring rom (stock/custom) on phone with broken USB port???

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.

Been running macks rom ljc for about 2 weeks now and have been noticing when I plug up my phone to charge at night it has a delayed response to notify me thats its charging..but today it has completely stopped charging. Nor will it connect to my pc. My wife has the same phone and her cord wouldn't work for mine either. Can anyone help?

Check that your usb is not Broken .... roms usually don't do anything with charging ... sounds like a bad usb port to me

Happened to mine a few weeks ago. I was on Jellybomb v13 with ma7. I flashed the ma5 radio and thats when it started to happen. At first it was intermittent and couldn't get it to duplicate at the sprint store(after I restored to stock rom). Finally they found out it was the usb port so now I got stuck with a refurb.

Have you switched usb cords? this happend to me then i went and found the actually cord and charger that was in the box and it worked. Or maybe if you have a cover over the phone the cord may not be making good contact? Both are worth a try!! cheap and free.....

usb otg issues. Hey

Hey guys. Im having some issues with my s3 and the otg cable. So I was in the car for a road trip. And I was playing games with the otg cable and a ps3 controller. Then I put my things away and put it in my bag and fell asleep. When I woke up I tried to play a game again and when I plugged it in the notification bar kept saying " usb connecter connected" then 1 second later "usb connecter disconnect ed". Any help?

You seem to have damaged the connector by any chance ?

My charger works fine and the cable works on other devices.

Does it work for data on other devices, or just charging.
Try another cable anyway. They do get messed up easily.

Have you rebooted it? And are you using any apps like Joystick2Touch, or the dual shock app?

I tried both qpps but nothing worked

The pins used for data transfer could become damaged while the ones used for charging remain intact. Works the same way on a cable too.

Try flashing another ROM - could be a Synergy issue.

Alright ill try that.

No fast charge or pc recognition

So multiple chargers won't work on PC and will not fast charge so I can't update or go back to stock and it takes 5 hours to charge. Sprint replaced the charging port but it didn't change anything. Any ideas? I've tried multiple 5.1.1 roms and kernels but that's about all I can do it seems. Oh and I tried a full factory reset. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Guess I'm the only one lol Hopefully someone has an idea, I'll be stuck with this phone for another year on 5.1.1 haha
Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

So tried flashing via Flashfire and the Bootloader didn't go through. It's a brick now, I still have download mode but no PC with any cable will recognize the device still. So I'm probably going to "upgrade" to a Nexus device. I've never had so many issues with a Samsung phone, so I'm going to stick with something more stable lol
