Just to be clear, what I am asking for here is advice on which part I need to replace on my phone in order to fix this.
Here is what happened:
I was trying to make a bench power supply out of an old computer power supply I had laying around. Well when I went to connect the "charge only USB Cable" to the Molex connector I accidentally swapped the wire colors, I meant to use the red (5volt) but instead connected the yellow (12volt) to the USB cable. Stupid and careless mistake I know, trust me... Nothing strange happened other than the phone gave me the "incompatible charger" error. The phone will turn on and function 100% normally so long as the battery is charged via another device. For example I take my wife's fully charged battery out of her S4 and put it in mine, the phone works fine until the battery dies; the battery I swap to her phone charges perfectly fine in her phone so it is NOT a battery issue.
The phone will not charge a battery anymore, with the original charger or the other 3 white Samsung brand chargers I have, nor my car charger. After doing some research online I discovered that it was likely to be a fried USB board, which I replaced today. So the USB board and USB connector are brand new and I am still having the same problem. I also read about restoring to factory settings which I have done and also reinstalled my custom ROM. I reinstalled AFTER the error message began occurring so it was NOT cause by a the ROM update. I read that I may be able to use a wireless charger which would solve my problem, but I don't actually own a wireless charging base and I have no plans of buying one unless it is my ONLY option to fix this.
Here is an exact description of the problem:
When I connect a USB charger of any kind to the phone while it is powered off, I get a black screen and the phone vibrates once every 4 seconds or so and the battery never appears on the screen nor does the screen light up in any way.
When I connect a USB charger or connect it to a PC while the phone is on I get "The connected charger is incompatible with this phone. To prevent damage to your phone, charging has been stopped. To continue charging, use the original charger and cable that were provided with this phone." error message and a battery icon with a red "X." If connected to a PC the PC says "unrecognized USB device."
Here is my phone info:
Verizon Galaxy S4
Model SCH-I545
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband: I545VRUAMDK
Hardware Version: I545.06
Rooted
Rom: Hyperdrive RLS20
Recovery: PhilZ Touch v6.54.9
ClockworkMod v6.0.5.0
If there is a tread that has already covered this I apologize, I did do a search and didn't see one.
Any help or information is greatly appreciated.
