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.
I cannot connect my OPT to a computer to transfer files. I have tried using an OTG cable with a flash drive, that does not work. I have tried a different computer and cable. I am able to transfer with a Nexbit Robin just fine, same cable and computer. There is no notification to change charging mode when I plug my device in but I can change it in developer settings; neither MTP nor PTP work. I am currently on Cosmic-OS 1.4 (Android 7.1.1). Any help is appreciated!
Same thing happening to me, tried mivi cable that works well on my friend's op2 but not on mine then gave it to service center (not exclusive) for 6 days only to find out that they don't know the difference between data transfer and charging n after when i explained it to em, they had to keep it for another day or two, so i brought it back and now i am stuck with non rooted ****ty oxygen 3.5.8 with stock recovery.

Did they charge for the "repair"
Moto G4 not charging properly, I have Lineage OS on it. Recently I switched from SuperSU to magisk and that's when this problem started. Even when I revert to previous backups, the problem is still there. Should I just flash back to stock rom. Will that fix the problem?
I think the phone is stuck in USB charging mode because when I connect it to a computer, it isn't recognised by the computer even when I change to MTP in developer options.

Yeah I reported the post so that it could be taken down.
Hey guys the title says it all. I bought a used s6 edge plus, turns out that the phone is not being recognized by windows. Nor is the charger charging with fast charge, instead it says USB charging. Help me out please
Flash twrp and flash a custom ROM. My phone didn't charge at all via USB port on stock nougat. I flashed a note 5 ROM ported to my device and now its fine.
Hi, my brother got this phone with RR 7.1.1 installed and it seems like the rom has lots of bugs because it reboots from time to time and instead of botting to the system it bots to TWRP, I downloaded Lineage OS to install it but the phone isnt detected at all by the PC, like, it wont even tell me there is a new device connected, the usb port is working because I can charge it just fine with the charger but nothing works when connecting it to the PC, anyone has faced this problem or knows how to fix it? Also, can I just downgrade to stock marshmallow?
Thanks in advance.

Go to settings, developer options and enable debugging mode. When you will connect via usb it should ask for authorization. Post authorizing, pull down the menu and set usb to data transfer.
There are other options like using memory card or transfer via xender.
