I've just gone through 12 hrs of thinking that my phone's bricked.

It wouldn't recognise the USB charging cable (yes I tried many chargers & cables).

I thought it was the Graphene update as I also had a weird debris detected message show & quickly disappear while updating.

I had 500K sats sitting on my Aqua wallet, not backed up 🤦‍♂️

I was about to switch the phone on & quickly backup the Aqua wallet with the remaining 2% battery when I connected it into the Linux PC. The screen showed 2% & then 3%, when it got to 5% I knew it was charging.

I don't know if plugging it into a PC woke the port up but it's charging as normal now.

I also don't know who needed to hear this, but sometimes you get no warning when devices die.

Have you backed up those 12 words anon?

You could probably disassemble + connect a new battery as well, or let it die which would soft-reset the PD state

Letting it run out completely was the next option I had.

I had shut it down while I mentally went through what wasn't backed up.

The Aqua wallet was the only thing I could think of & decided I'd try to save it before doing anything else.
