[Q] Fix bricked USB port

---

I've been having a lot of trouble trying to fix a bricked usb port. The phone doesn't charge when it's on, off, plugged into an outlet or USB port. The computer won't recognize it or even that it's plugged in. Also, I tried a fix where I downloaded two files "flash_image" and "mtd-eng.img" and did something with them in terminal. I was told to plug it into USB and do something in fastboot, I tried but obviously if the USB port is bricked that didn't work (just says waiting for device). I'm really at the end of my rope here. Any suggestions?

(I've been keeping it charged with a hacked up USB cable on the battery leads).

Sounds like a hardware issue at this point, one of the leads on the USB might be loose. Only thing I can think off is taking it in for repair.
