Possible Busted USB port - Xperia Play General

My XP micro USB port seems to be busted it won't charge using the plug charger or pop-up on my PC when I just plug it in.
I bought it online from O2s site in January, what are my options to get it fixed/get a new one?
Does rooting it affect my warranty?

Rooting probably avoided your warranty, try to unroot or flash o2's firmware.

Mine only charges with the standard cable in a very specific position. It sucks.

You could backup the phone to an sd card using rerware my backup and then, factory reset the phone, that will remove root and you wouldnt have to worry about them knowing you rooted
Just delete superuser from manage applications, no one will know you rooted. It shouldn't be a problem anyway as the fault is hardware related and not software related

Need help

Okay I'm running dj05 modem on rubixs dl30 base last night my phone went crazy. My phone was not reading correct battery stats. I would plug it to charger and within a minute say full charge and the display would flicker while plugged up. So I wiped batt stats that didn't help so I wiped factory reset ans davlik cache. That didn't help so this morning I was going to flask eb01 and now Odin won't recognise my phone. Any help would be greatful.

Yeah def sounds like your cable now. You haven't used any other phones charger lately? This was the undoing of my samsung moment. It became incredibly buggy after using a bb charger one night. Can you attempt a restore or backup through cwm?
I use a after market wall charger. But my phone keeps flashing usb connected/usb debugging connected like its still plugged up

You have to be very cautious of the aftermarket chargers and cords you use.

That's not a good sign then. Some aftermarket chargers will fry the ports amoung other things. Attempt a backup/restore and try it with an authorized sammy cord/charger. If that doesn't work then you may have bricked the phone.

Phone isn't recognized in download mode on computer

I'm sure this has already been posted but couldn't find it. But I was trying to flash one of the roms that were posted in here with odin3 and when I put the phone in download mode and Hooke it up to the computer I get either device not recognized or device.malfunctioning but mass storage works no problem. I use the cable that came with the phone and used every USB port on the computer. Any suggestions?

Have you installed Samsung Galaxy S drivers?
I had that problem when trying to flash EB13.
From what others have said here (and my personal experiences with trying to flash EB13) the cable the Epic comes with is crap.
When using another cable, I had much more luck in getting Odin/Windows/Samsung Updater to see my phone.
YMMV though, but it worked for me.
I think you should re-install the drivers, and try a USB port on the back of the computer. Usually the ports on the front of the computer aren't the best for these things.
Sent From My Command Center... (aka basement)
Reboot computer and reboot phone and try it again thats what worked for me in the past
Reinstall the Epic drivers from Samsung. Make sure to use the back ports on the back of your computer that are on the motherboard. These will provide better and cleaner power to your device, also cycle both the computer and the phone and don't plug in the device till after you have went into download mode. This should fix your problem.
Same thing happened to me. I tried using the micro USB cable from my wifes Blackberry. Works great now. Samsung's cables suck

Guys I've had this issue and tried everything you guys have and some. Look at the port directly on your phone. there are tiny little copper contacts on the tooth that can get bent.
You will have to use some tweezers to get it back down but look at this before buying a new usb cable as this was my issue

[Help] Nexus S 4G Won't mount Usb Storage.

In reality I really don't know where else to go I know that there is normally every time that you connect your phone it leads you straight into the Usb Storage now when I connect it. It just go straight into charging mode is there anything. Adb shell won't and I have to wipe it by tomorrow to send it our to Best buy! Help Please!
Is it rooted? If not wipe from the bootloader?

Wow I had this same problem about a week and a half ago. I never did find a solution. I tried multiple computers. I couldnt even unroot it because the computer did not detect it even in fastboot mode. I ended up sending it back to samsung to be repaired.

What data are you trying to backup? I would go into recovery, wipe data/cache, reflash the ROM, then test it.
You can backup apps/settings with titanium backup before you wipe.

I've tried absolutely everything in this thread. Lost USB connectivity completely on my phone. Doesn't matter what machine, what OS, or what cable, or what drivers are installed. I'm assuming it must be a hardware issue at this point. Doesn't even work in bootloader.
For those updating OTA to 2.3.6 via OTA and needing to re-root their phones, make sure you're not having this issue. Being stuck without root is a pain in the ass!
Clean your USB port on your nexus! Clean it well.

Good advice actually. Scrubbing it with a dry toothbrush + using a a brand new 3 inch USB cable made the sucker finally connect.
Must have been a combination of bad cables and poor USB port hygiene
Yep, had to take a knife, brush, and alcohol swabby to mine.

[Q] Micro USB port broke, is root still possible?

Awhile back my N4 charging port crapped out on me and is no longer working. It will not charge through a cord whatsoever and ADB doesn't pick it up. I wanted to know if I have any chance to root it. Or really just install CyanogenMod. Any hope? Thanks!
You will need a cable to install a custom recovery, which is needed for rooting your device.

Probably since pin that transfer data is broke, but the one that does the charging is still intact/functional. Samething happened to my Captivate that got water damaged.
It's possible the buy the USB board and replace it, its pretty cheap on ebay.
I charge with the Wireless orb.
warranty replacement or take it apart and fix it. the usb port is on a daughterboard that would probably be relatively cheap to replace if you don't trust your soldering.
There may be hope to unlock and root without usb if you're on 4.2.2. Not if you're on 4.3 already though (yet at least).

accessing files with cracked screen

A few weeks ago I rooted my ATT 800o phone, and even attempted to install TWRP. It gave me a compatibility error with 800o so forgot about TWRP. A week ago, the phone fell and the screen cracked, rendering the phone useless. It works perfectly fine, but I cannot enter the pin code since the digitazer is probably broken.
I tried LG PC suite and LG OPS or OTS (I forgot), and it doesnt see any USB device connected. I believe I left the phone in JUST CHARGE USB mode.
I need to access some files on the internal SD card, so I ask for suggestions on what to try next.
Assuming I can get it in download mode, which I should be able to, should I flash the stock LG firmware (800d) and then try to get into it that way? Will that wipe the files of the sd card (pics, application data, etc)?

I had the same problem, but I manage to use LG on screen app. But never mind, I sent my phone to LG, of course I paid for broken screen (now I have ballistics case, I hope it will be enough for future impacts), But I include a note with the phone and wrote that LG will only replace screen but not delete any data or reinstall soft, and they did I revived my phone in the same state as I send them, but screen was new of course

Other than that, I don't know any way to mimic your phone on another display.
Worst case, send out to repair.

His screen is not broken the digitizer is cracked so the screen works but does not recognize touch. So of he uses an otg cable with a mouse then he can go under setting then go to PC connection then select MTP mode so that when he connects a USB Cale that's plugged into his PC it will show all the internal storage of his phone and get all his files off that he needs.

Thank you for the idea of the cable, but I want to try something first. I want to flash it clean so as to remove the exchange pin and hopefully get into it that way. I want to possibly sell the phone, so I have to wipe it anyway. If I don't recover the files, not a big deal (i hope...).
My thinking is...flash it back to stock clean, and see if I can change the USB connection parameters enough to connect. Then I can recover my files, and then maybe I can sell it. It is presently rooted without recovery. How do I flash it back to stock?
