[Q] S4 i9500 show overheating prompt when connected to charger - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My s4 i9500 got bricked recently while trying to flash twrp. I gave the device to a friend who fixed the usb port and upgraded it android 5.0.1 though it isn't available for my region (ECT). After the upgrade the device drains battery power and displays the battery overheating prompt even when the device isn't in use.
I downgraded the device back to android 4.4.2 which was installed before the brick. Now the device doesn't prompt overhearing while idle rather once a charge is plugged in, it prompts overheating even without the device is at normal temperature.
Am wondering if anyone is experiencing this same problem and its a hardware or software issue.
Any help will be appreciated

[Help] System software not authorized! USB not recognized!

I have an AT&T Note 3 SM-N900A. I Installed X-Note Rom on it a while ago, but I recently have been having problems charging the phone and was going to take it to an AT&T Device Support Center to fix it. I tried to install the stock firmware N900AUCBMI9 using Mobile Odin, only to see the a boot up screen that says "System Software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone . Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T store for help." I tried to get the phone to connect to Odin on my Windows PC, but the computer will only say USB Device not recognized, and it won't show up in Odin at all. The weird thing is that it says USB device not recognized even while the Note 3 is off. The phone also stays on while in Download Mode when connected to USB with no battery.
I was wondering if there's anything I can do to at least ensure that the people at AT&T can't power up the phone and see this message. I should have just left it on the custom rom, this looks way worse. I'd rather have a hard brick at this point, at least they wouldn't be able to see it was rooted and flashed. I really screwed this up, if I knew I'd be having issues I would have never rooted it. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Note 4 N910C sudden USB Hardbrick, no charge, still booting fine into Android

Hello XDA, my virtual phone heros, i appreciate your good work, i am reading here for a few years as a ghost and today i signed up because i am lost with a serious problem on my Note4 N910C (English is not my native language)
THE CONDITIONS AND ENVIRONMENT:
My Phone was first running on stock Lollipop 5.1.1 when i rooted it over ODIN 3.10.6 with space X kernel and CF Autoroot, SuperSU then i flashed the latest TWRP...
After that i flashed a Custom Rom: Sweet_ROM_V17.1_COJ2_N910C...
Everything was running flawlessly for about 2 weeks...I installed Titanium Backup, Xposed, Xprivacy Pro, Busybox and a lot more and made a complete TWRP Backup then, it was running like a charme...The backup is fine because when i messed up my phone through trying harder xprivacy parameters and other tweaking i needed to set it back by TWRP into the old state...
Nothing happened after that, it was running 100% for over a week of heavy usage...
THE PROBLEM:
The one morning i took it from the charger with 100% Battery and went to work...
Before the error occured I did some searching on the internet, used chats. movies, nothing special this day, USB Debugging was On, i remembered something messed up my chrome browser like this ad hijackers, i set it back by erasing data,cache of chrome in the app menu, then there was nothing else strange i remembered, my AF Firewall was closed, only Whatsapp and Browser were allowed to going through...
The same day in the afternoon i tried to use my car charger to recharge my Note 4 as usual, but this time it wasnt recognizing the charger and my first thought was that the charger is faulty or the cable, so i turned off the phone by the androids power menu...I retried loading my battery In the phones off state but when i plug in the charger, the battery symbol came up for short and then it remained dead, it s the same scenario until today, so i used my powerbank to try charging, because the powerbank has an indicator to show the loading state and everytime i plugged it in, it came up for short, battery symbol shows up for a few seconds, but no percentage or animation is showing as usual and no red LED, then its switching off, the powerbank LED indicator stops the loading state after a few seconds, so the loading current stops...
At home i tried the stock charger and it remained the same, since that, i have to charge the battery outside the phone...
The strange thing is:
The Rom is still booting fine, TWRP is booting, but its not going into download mode from Androids Power Menu like before, its always just rebooting back into android if i choose download mode and i have to take the battery out and back in and hit the download mode pattern Vol- Home Power, to enter Download Mode and even the booting into Download mode from TWRP gives the same strange results:
On my Laptop i started the device manager to see the USB hardware string parameters after a windows popup was telling me something like "Device not recognized"
The USB Driver ID dont fit the old right driver ID, it seems to be empty and the port is not communicating anymore
since the charging bug occured,( Everything worked fine the day before.)
I tried my Laptop to narrow down the bug with the same driver i used for flashing phones (S6,910F,910C) over ODIN and my Lappy has USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports.
I always used the same USB 2.0 port for ODIN and other MTP stuff, but since the bug showed up the 910C is not recognized at the USB 2.0 Port anymore, seems to be dead in the devices manager table, only the USB 3.0 Port shows it as unknown device with a strange empty ID --> I tried the other devices like the N910F and G920F that are still recognized by ODIN on the same USB2.0 and 3.0 Ports both with the same USB hardware strings, its just the N910C that isnt recognized anymore, in no mode, no ADB, MTP, no download mode, everywhere the same, USB is bricked! Windows finds no driver and says its no info avaiable on this device so I tried to force the right driver to run with the wrong buggy driver ID but its not communicating, ODIN indicator and log remains unchanged...So it seems to be the same situation like other people getting from killing the bootloader by bad flashing, the only difference is that my phone is still booting fine into recovery and even Android but with no charging. My USB Port is totally useless now, its like if Samsung or Google OTA update has overwritten my bootloader or something hidden in the rom that woke up to kill my mods i dont know and now.
PS: Things i tried so far with no results on fixing my issue....
1. Complete fresh reinstall of Sweetrom, 2. Flashing another kernel...
3. Roll back to my TWRP Backup of perfect running ROM but with no USB support anymore:
The Phone remains in unknown state, not affecting ODIN to switch into flash mode
I am sure its the bootloader, since its battery bug is still occuring while the phone is in off state...
Unable to tell the charger the right ID without USB communication...
i was wondering if there is a solution to make a bootloader hotflash from out of Android or something like getting me back on stock first with download mode, forcing the USB ID or communication with a tool out of android, SD card boot image like on note 3 whatever, please tell me! I cant find something related to my USB and Charging ISSUE
PLEASE HELP ME, I am lost
Still the same. It's booting fine, USB2.0 no reaction on the laptop in Fastboot/Adb/Mtp ... On USB 3.0 Device remains unknown with strange Device ID String in windows 10 hardware Manager... Forced the old formerly working driver, but Odin can't find it anymore... Adb, Mtp, fastboot don't work, no communication... USB Cid is hard bricked, Charging never works in no state, just showing up for a few seconds in off state while plugging it in for short.... Bootloader must be damaged, fastboot and twrp can be started with dead USB... So is there a way to run a boot image to fix my bootloader from SD card, Aroma, or like OTA Updates are flashing? If Samsung and Google apply bootloader updates over OTA and simply restart, why we can't do that??? I need a new bootloader, is there any way without USB?
Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist.
I have moved your question to your device's Q&A forum. You'll receive expert advice here. Good luck!
Fixed!
The problem is the USB Connector Port itself, figured it out after bending the inner contacts up with a flat screwdriver and cleaned them. Before that i always tried the same gently with no change, but please do it at your own risk only. After searching for many hours about possible reasons for the problem, I came to the conclusion to even compromise the Port and heavy bending it up, now it's charging! I will exchange the port soon and change the frame too to have it back like as new... OK, if anyone in the future have problems with the bootloader or USB hardbrick n910c, feel free to ask me, I upgraded my knowledge on many causes now
Thank you very much
My 2cents stick to one charger. Do not share that charger with others.
The worst culprit are the cheap china car chargers.
I went thru two USB ports on my first phone to figure this out.
Ever since I have adopted the policy of using only one cable. Never had this issue.

Stuck in Jelly Bean. No OTA and Unknown Device on PC.

Hello everyone, I'm currently facing a strange issue with my mother's G2 (Brazilian version, D805). I've built this phone for her out of a dead motherboard G2 and a Dead display G2. The problem is that after replacing the motherboard, the phone simply won't fast charge (it says slow charging with any charger I use) and I can't make any computer recognise this thing (Unknown device in Windows 10, 7, 8, etc). I'm pretty sure it's a motherboard problem as I've replaced the USB Flex to no remedy.
I was wondering if there's anyway I can force an updated on this phone to Kitkat at least. Jellybean is so dated that some apps simply won't work on her phone (Strava, for instance). When I make the phone check for OTA it tells me that new software is available, but tells me to connect to a PC. It doesn't matter if I connect the phone in download mode or not, it's always seen as unknown device by Windows. I was hoping to find a way to root and twrp this thing without a computer, but I just couldn't do it. Any help would be deeply appreciated, as the phone is still basically in mint condition and she doesn't wish to replace it anytime soon.
