that's quite odd, did you dropped it, or did you put a lot of pressure on the USB connector? you might have to send it to SE repair center

this are long shots but turn off the phone and then connect it to your computer and wall charger, what happen? does the LED light turn on?

take the battery out -> press and hold the power button for few seconds -> put the battery back on -> connect it to your computer and wall charger, does the LED light turn on?

No... i' ve tried any time to find a process to flash my phone but I can't unlock the bootloader so I've haven't done the flash... the only thing i've done is the root permission but I've use it for a long time without problem.....

you don't have to unlock your phone to flash it, does your computer recognize your phone ?
