i rooted my x10i a month ago and removed all the SEjunks. But now my phone doesnt connect to usb\charger but the cable is working fine (micro usb port problem), what do i do, can i still claim for warrenty? if not how much do you think it will cost to get it repaired?
You could try restoring the stock apps you removed and then unrooting your phone and try to do a warranty repair.
Though since you think the problem is with the charger you could just try ordering a new charger from SE or see if you could just get that repaired. I don't know how much the repairs would cost. You could try looking on their website to see what they cost to buy.
If you take the ordering a new one option or sending the charger in options, you could still charge your phone using your computer.
Other than that, I'm not sure what else to suggest. Good luck getting your problem resolved!

As long as the most recent SE ROM available in your region has DT then I wouldn't worry about it. Otherwise just run repair in either SEUS or PC Companion and that will do the trick for you.

So i accidently bricked my phone trying to update my modwm to the newest froyo one.
Now I keep trying too odin back to stock but it wont work. Ive bricked before and used my laptop and it restored but now it doesnt work on my laptop nor my desktop. They either both say the device is unknown or it connects and when I try to flash it either freezes on file analyses or param.
Im going to go to the sprint store later today and try to get a new one. When I try to turn my phone on i get the little phone arrow computer sign. Do you think if I tell them that my phone froze so I took out the battery and that happened they will believe me? Idk how much of rooting the sprint employees know. Should I deny everything?
You will likely need to tell the tech that you had some bugs (force closes or something) and tried to do a reset through recovery mode and ended up with a non-working phone. Techs will likely know a bit about rooting and roms, especially if they have their own android phone. They also know that rooting and 3rd party roms void your warranty and they are supposed to deny claims where the phone was running 3rd party roms.
Can they tell if I rooted it just by the phone to computer sign? I went to a sprint store earlier and they told me to go to the corperate store because he didnt know what that meant.. Also I bought it from bestbuy so if sprint doesnt cover it would bestbuy?

Bestbuy won't cover it. And if you plan on exchanging the phone, you'll have to go to the Sprint Corporate center. I bricked my phone the other day and it was only a $35 exchange for a new Samsung Epic. I only had to wait a day for a new one. They won't give you a new battery or SD card, so make sure to hold on to those.
Sorry about your phone.
If the phone is off can you hold the 1 button on the keyboard and power button and does a yellow downloading screen come on?

I don't think it would matter, truthfully. If the computer doesn't recognize the phone to begin with, putting the phone into download mode won't have any effect.

Different usb cable maybe? If sasha101 can get into download mode the phone isn't bricked and there is at least still hope. Maybe re downloading odin and other files as well. Just a thought.

I usually have to rotate between the different pits (512, 513, 528, and no pit) before I can get it to succesfully flash, so this is something you can try.
I would definitly try a different cable. I wasn't able to use odin to load 2.1 and in fact I bricked (I think). Tried 2 different cables and tried someone else's pc. NO go. Went back to the best set of directions I had found, redownloaded all the software needed, borrowed my wife's cable and started over. Everything worked like I was told it should. I really believe I had cables. Will try to find a new good one for the next time I try Odin.
Good luck and Marry Christmas.

Umm.. if its not recognizing your phone you either didn't download the drivers; or they didn't install right. So.. (re)install them..
If this doesn't work its your cable; you'll need a new one.
Also; android isn't bricked until you can't get into download mode anymore.
Just because it doesn't boot doesn't mean its not bricked.

hey guys we (me n rendeiro2005) are working on a project to try n help out users get back to stock settings, especially those with broken USB connectors and who are stuck with a particular baseband...
so if u are one such user please put up a post/reply here with the current baseband u have on ur device and whether it is X10i or X10a...
if u are not sure how to determine this read HERE
i would like to remind u all that the project is still work-in-progress and may or may not work 100%... we are trying our best to make it as clean as possible...
we've spoken but ill post again to get the ball rollling.
here are my details again just for reference.
Hey guys!
My USB connector ist broken.
I am able to charge my device, but its a bit strange.
Via Xrecovery i had the possibility to flash the backup of my mate's stock ROM with root.
After restoring with xrecovery, there was no more xcrecovery menue at booting.
I thought, with unrooting (Z4root) i get rid of the superuser.apk and root.
The problem is, now my X10i is unrooted, but the superuser.apk stayed.
Without my USB connector, there is no possibility to root my device again and delete that superuser.apk.
I only need an updated Rooting .APK, which roots my device with psneuter exploit.
It would be great if somebody can help me with this problem .
Device Details:
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i
Firmware-Version: 2.1-update1

wow!!! thats amazing... @some places the service centers dont replace the device but just repair the "motherboard" and then send it to the user... so they might check if the original OS was tampered with... like root/busybox/custom rom/etc... all of which btw VOID warranty...
Then i guess i'm lucky they gave me a new one good luck for all the others with broken usb.

Mine too..
I also broke my USB, infact I was neither able to charge or do USB....
I gave my phone as it is with custom ROM and SE guys gave me replaced motherboard with new IMEI #.
Good luck guys...
I sent mine in for repair nearly a month ago, I called them up to see where my phone is and apparently the motherboards are 'very delayed' and it will be atleast another three weeks before the parts arrive at the service center
I had broken USB (not charging or anything) with root, JIT, Titanium etc and most of the sony apps removed and they just replaced the motherboard and sent it back within a week. No questions asked
Mines broke up about 4 months ago. I gave it for the reparation to the two shops, but non of them helped me. I bought that phone on a internet auction without gwarancy, so I'm probably fu*ked up.
My USB connector is also broken and my phone is currently at a Sony Rapair center in Holland.
On Dutch forums i hear more peaple complaining about broken usb connectors.
The first day i had the phone in my hands i allready was thinking the connector is going to braek inside because it was so difficult to put the usb connector in.
And now it is broken. At first my phone battery drained from 100% to 40 in only a few hours without doing anything. After that it did not charge more than 40% after a whole night in the charger. And after two weeks it was not even possible to charge my phone aymore.
Now i am hoping to get my phone back soon. It is allready three weaks at the repair center. Last time i send an sony for a repair it was fixen within two weeks. Most peaple are getting new phone or refubished ones. I am still hoping to get an new one...
I had an X10i.
Same problem with my X10 after upgrade CM7 last week.
I bought it last july.
My USB connector seems to be normal but the battery didn't charge and i couldn't do anything with SEUS.
Yesterday, I sent it to SE repair center but i completely formated it with xrecovery in case...

ok let me tell u a something... setcpu will just send throttling commands to ur cpu... even if u dont use SetCPU/any other app the CPU by default will keep throttling between frequencies so that the user gets a good balance between performance + battery saving... so when u use setcpu it just send commands to cpu which tell it to avoid certain frequencies...
anyways...
the usb connector issue is related the way the usb connector is connected to the motherboard"/PCB of the x10... hence it has got nothing to do with wht software u use...
My usb port is broken n my phone is out of warranty due to liquid damage bt sum hw i manage to charge my phone by figgling my usb cord ( hv to set the cord in a certain position to get it charge) .. one thing i hv noticed is that when i connect my phone with blackberry's cable, my phone charges better than my stock cable ( i hv two stock cable, bth of dem r proper) ...act i hv a loosen usb port which is attachd to the motherboard.

flashed gingerbread with odin all went fine.
couldnt access cwm mode , so tried a reflash. it failed half way through the flash.
I suspect low battery was the cause of the fail (my fault i know before i get flamed )
after reading many post i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get it jtag
Prefferably in the north east uk, or know where i could sent it.
Thanks in advance

thanks for your reply but these only work if you have some life in the phone, mine dosnt light up vibrate or anything
might be worth a try anyway... I mean you could always bring it to a repair centre???
Here is a tip for you, mate
If your phone is so damaged that no one seems to know what went wrong with it unless you told them you flashed a ROM and everything went wrong.
SEND TO SAMSUNG FOR FREE!
How? With your current condition, they can't tell that you messed around with it. Do not mention anything about Froyo, Gingerbread, Odin, Flash, Kernel. Act like you know nothing about all of those.
Try to put the blame on Kies. Tell them that you connected to Kies and it asked you for a Firmware Update. You click UPDATE and *KABOOM*. Your warranty would not be void. Trust me

I bought my phone from someone else too. But the dude gave me a warranty document together with it.
I'm not sure if this applies to other region, but in Asia, phones have warranty stickers in them in case the warranty documents are not available.
Samsung Galaxy S GT i9000 has a warranty period of 2 years.

And in most cases the Service Centre will just the IMEI of the phone to check the warranty status. Hope you get it sorted..
Normally, when you charge your phone and you press the power key, the screen will show a battery charging, and the level of charge. When you do it, does anything come out in the screen?
I was trying update to GB.... and by accident nudge the usb cable off! Now its Hard bricked! It has no response at all (cant power on, no display, nilch!!)! Any ideas how to rescue it?
the future is bright, the future is Galaxy.
use the search and look for : how to recover hard bricked devices, I am pretty sure there is something you can do, and if everything fails get it to Samsung repair service and ask for help.
good luck my friend, the only advice I would give to the people who own such devices is DO NOT FLASH YOU TABLET FOR NOTHING! IT IS A USFUL TOOL TO READ AND MAKE PHONE CALLS NOT FOR BETA TESTING ALMOST ANY AVAILABLE ROM OVER THE NET.

Nothing! as long your device is still in warranty they won't charge you for it, they can check from your serial no. or if you still have the receipt. Go on samsung site and lookup your nearest service centre.
"in the brightest day in the blackest night, no Apple shall escape Android's might"
I've used this service before. Cost was total was $50 plus 1 way shipping to them. They paid the return shipping. I got it back within a a few days of them receiving it. Make sure to get unbrickable mod applied to it. Then you will never have to worry about bricking your tab again. Unbrickable mod is a hardware modification that makes your tab into a developer version of the tab. It kinda puts your tab into a a different download mode when you plug it into a usb port that lets your flash a new bootloader over usb if you accidentally delete yours.

And Rpatton I am sorry I didn't see your PM. I haven't been actually signed into xda very often until recently. I really recommend this service if you still have a tab in good condition. I was in the same boat you are in now for almost a year until I finally got off my ass a looked into getting it fixed. Although I haven't had to actually try using this mod, I know that it does work and there are tutorials out there about how to recover once you have this mod applied.
used them they are great a little hiccup with them but they fixed it got my tab back been using it like new since . Great service i would recommend it to anyone.
Hi guys,
I've got a problem with the USB port on my DHD. It charges fine - no problems there - but it refuses to transfer data! I've tried different cables, different ports on the PC, a different PC and a different OS and still the same problem. The PC(s) don't recognise anything has been plugged in and the phone doesn't ask me what type of connection I want. I've cleared the defaults and set it to 'ask every time' but still nothing. Therefore I summise that the USB port on the phone is dead (despite the fact that it transfers power just fine).
My question is; do you think it's fixable without returning to the manufacturer? It's out of warranty by a few months now and I bought it SIM free so I can't go crawling to my network with it. Do you think this is within the capabilities/resources of high street repair shops? The reason I'm asking here instead of in said shops is because I live miles away from the nearest one that I know of and don't fancy making the trip for nothing!
Basically I really, REALLY want to root my phone and start messing around with custom ROMs - but obviously I can't if I have no USB connection :'(
Thanks guys.

Have you tried cleaning the port out with something like a paperclip or a sewing needle? I had the same problem as you and after doing that it works perfectly. It just had a load of fluff from my pocket stuck in it. I went through 3 cables before I realised this :/

You sure it's out of Warranty? Certainly in the UK warranty is two years and the phone was released here October 2010 thus all UK phones are still well within warranty
Use a magnifying glass or equivalent, and carefully inspect the contacts inside the connector. You might need to clean them up by scraping them down a little. It is very possible they might have some debris stuck on them. If the port is very loose, take the phone apart and using needle nose pliers, squeeze the connector housing together a little to tighten it up. Had to do this on my TP2 port after a while(mini USB) and it worked like a charm.

I asked in a rapair shop and the guy there seemed to think it was likely a problem with the traces on the charging block. Although that was just his opinion from experience - he didn't actually look at it. I declined his offer to open it up and have a gander.
I wasn't aware it was a 2 year warranty. I might send it back then.
Has anyone had any experience with HTC's service centres?
Are they likely to also flash the phone with the latest firmware whilst they're at it? AFAIK (though do correct me if I'm wrong as admittedly I haven't checked in a while) there's no known way to gain root for the latest firmware.

I assume they'd flash a Sim free model with stock manufacturer firmware? I hope so anyway.
So is the latest stock firmware rootable with aahk? Last I checked it wasn't.
