TILT will only charge with power turned off

[GinjiVitis]

I have a familiar problem we've all read about but my instance seems to be a bit different than anything i've found when searching the forums. Heres the Details.

I have a Tilt, I'm running Dutty's WM6.1. I've been running it for weeks and all is great. recently bought a usb car adapter. plugged it in and the phone lit the red light of doom and shut down. i soft reset...same problem. so I left it alone. Now my TILT turns on fine, operates fine. boots in a timely fashion but will not recognize any USB cord i've plugged in. I've tried many. However it WILL charge when the power is turned off. the red light is lit while charging but it charges.

and in case it helps anyone...the bootloader does say SERIAL and no usb.

I've seen lots of different instances of this issue on the forum search but they all were a little different from my situation or an answer was never given in the thread. Thank you to any one who knows the secret to this or has a solution that works.

Seems you fryed some part of your USB port. You should send it in to AT&T if you're under warrenty. If not, best thing is to replace it by solderng a new USB port.

Since you can still turn it on and all seems relatively normal why not back up your data and try a Hard Reset ?
You may not have bricked it...may I ask which USB car charger you bought so I can avoid it ?
I doubt the physical USB jack is damaged, anythings possible but it's more likely worse than that IF it is not software/rom related.
Hope you solve it cheaply !

are you trying to charge it with the one that came with the kaiser?
