Did you try entering download mode without the battery?

Also, is your battery fully charged?

Also, you can try the hard reset button on back of the phone tooo..

I wouldnt say your the fist one who has this issue..but to be sure we gotta try a few standard stuff first before assuming anything..

not yet..too busy ..I plan to fix it next week...in my case its a complete brick...aka it doesnt even turn on.

As for usb thing, charging is a different pin then data..but I dont see a reason why your phone would act like it does..a damaged pin should not be able to cause it..

rooting does not brick..the kernel didnt play nice with my phone..they took the kernel down due to it bricking phones...not everyone got bricked on that kernel but it warranted concern. If you use one of the current kernels it should be fine..and rooting definitely wont brick your phone...
