Hi there,
I have been using Arta's ROM for a long time (with lots of GPS issues though, despite trying to fix it the way Arta's explained it...), I finallly installed a new ROM (Pacman "pac_p760-4.3_kitkat-20140128" if i'm right), I already had some doubts about my battery (BL-53QH / 2150mAh) and it seems that it is down for good
I can't even start the phone after all I tried (thought I could roll it back to the latest firmware but the LG software said it was already installed...)
I already tried everything possible : hard reset (which doesn't work since i installed "CWMv6.0.4.5Touch"...), fastboot didn't get me farther though, the only thing I can see when I start it is the LG Logo...
The power adapter works fine on an Xperia M2, so I checked the battery and here is what I get after trying to full charge it on the phone :
Saying that 1 is the + :
1 to 2 : 2.49v
1 to 3 : 2.65v
1 to 4 : 2.05v
Battery specs : 3.8v / 2150mAh / 2013.01.17(L) / EAC61898401 LLL
Anyone could confirm my doubts ?
Thanks

Hello,
After searching about 10 pages & search engine i haven't find exactly same problem as mine but i think i'm not the only one who had this problem...
I saw that all guys having same problem as me have an IMEI problem with a file on /efs, which is not my case for the IMEI
Problem : no phone, no sms, all data is OK. is someone calls me it rings busy.
Here's what i tried
- My SIM on another S2 = everything OK, the other S2 sim on my phone gives same problem.
- Many ROMs official or non official (also a release using pit+pda+phone+csc), without solving my problem
- Using the appli GSII_Repair but i can' t download (message appears 2mins after click on install, from PC or from market)
- Phone is operator free and with no signal problem.
- At the moment i just put an official rom (nothing more) with baseband i9100xxki3, kernel 2.6.35.[email protected] #2, Version number gingerbread.xxki3. Network State=Connected, IMEI= same as behind battery, IMEISV=01
I bought the phone to someone living 150km from me and when i wanted to test it...i locked my SIM (and no puk code with me) so i bought it for not having done the 300km for nothing...and i can't use it since a week i'm trying & reading things everywhere on the net but i think here is the best place, great members, great place, and great roms i used on my HD2 before the USB connector broke. The guy to wich i bought the phone kept it a month and have no idea to what has been done the phone
So help needed....Thanks

Have you already tried to do a factory reset?
Shut down the phone, reboot into recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power, hold the keys until the recovery menu appears), choose factory reset and then reboot the phone.
If that does not help, you could try to flash a newer stock ROM, such as XWKJ3.
Have a look at Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
If that does not help either, it could be a hardware issue.
Hope that it is not.
Good luck !
I already have done both, and i just have done the 2 things again just in cas
Factory reset => still having problem
XWKJ3 => i'm getting permanently a message like com.android.phone crashed, i now remember why i changed for an older ROM
Sounds like flashing many roms syndrome .
Also the no no of using PIT files .
Suggestion
Download full stock rom .
Backup all data .
Go to recovery Mounts and storage Format > Cache System Data > SD Card .
No boot now clean empty phone .
Download mode and via Odin flash stock rom .
Test if still faulty return under warranty .

I dont want to be a negative ned and throw a spanner in the works here but if the IMEI is intact and the phone was bought second hand(and no offence with what im about to say) but is it possible that the IMEI has been blocked cos yourve unknowingly bought a stolen phoneIt just seems strange that only calls and sms are blocked with the IMEI no being changed.Sorry if ive miss understood the question.No offence intended.
Hi !
After 2 nights downloading as many firmwares as I could, and reading forum's thread till I fall asleep, i found no answers, so maybe you'll have some experience to share which might help me and my phone.
Well, at least it's no longer really a phone cuz it's impossible to connect to the network; let me explain to you what happened :
I'm a student in china for 2 years; I lost my iphone 3G 2 weeks ago, and after a lot of hesitation I choose to buy a galaxy Ace 2.... In the chineese way : no google play (or at least impossible to install it), impossible to install applications like viber also, and so on.
So i decided to put an other firmware on it and follow tutorials (i was used to those kind of stuff by jailbreaking and unsimlocking my iphone before android's introducing). First i downloaded the uk firmware (O2). the step "SYSTEM" worked well, but it stopped while launching the "battery management" part of the md5 file. When i switched my phone on, there were some cool improvement : google play's working, even youtube is there (youtube is forbidden in china), but no more network : "no sim cards", and disfonctionnement of the plane mode (once you put it on, impossible to come back, even if you switch it off). I made a factory data reset, which put the phone back to the step "no sim card", then the fly mode problem happened again.
So i also tried 2 others firmwares : the singapour one, and on other one called Android 2.3.6 I8160DXLF2 (would like to add the link but i'm a new user so i can't)
those two times, odin worked like this :
hidden : check
kernel : check
modem : FAIL
Now I don't really now what to do, I feel lost.... Do you know what could i do else :
-to complete a firmware upgrading
-to have my phone like it is now (with an occidental firmware including no restriction), but with more "phone skills" ?
Thanks a lot for your help and experience sharing =) ,

up ?

Since you said that you bought your phone the chinese way, there's a possibility that you have a ZLSG1 or any chinese related baseband, you need to download a ZLSG1 firmware or any firmaware for china region.
You can visit my thread here.
Be aware that the chinese/hong kong firmware for Ace 2 have severe problems with scrolling so I suggest that you flash my custom firmware if you want, or you can wait for jelly bean update which would probably released after a few months or next year.
as for the modem.bin part, its kinda weird because you can flash a custom or different modem with any other samsung phones like the S2 or the original Ace. But the Ace 2 or even the Galaxy S Advance, you can't flash a different modem binary or power management binary...

Hello Devs,
I have problem charging my s3 international version.
My phone is rooted and running custom rom s5 sensation v4.0 kitkat 4.4.2 with boeffla kernel v6.0 and latest CWM touch recovery.
I have flashed many custom roms before and all was working good before. The phone was also charging properly before.
But after some time when 4.3 was released I have flashed s4 revolution.
After flashing that rom my problem started.
1st problem was the phone was not gettin connected to my cell tower. Later after searching soo many hours on google I found out that it changed the efs version from v1 to v2. So I found out a rescue zip file which include only modem of xxemg4. I flashed it and then all was working good.
After some time I faced a problem of reverse charging means the phone is kept on charge but instead of charging the battery decrease. So again I searched on google about my problem and found out an app called galaxy charging current which show the power that is getting the phone while its connected to the charger. when I installed it and saw the current it was only showing max 100 min 999 and avg 100. I saw some where that the default current the phone should get is 1000 in max.
I searched alot on google on how to solve this problem, tried many diffrent rom , tried changing my charger, tried to flash back the previous rom which I was using in which I was not having any problem but after doing all this the result was same.
when I connect to the charger it shows 700 In max n after some time it keeps going down like 500 then 300 then last 100.
So after searching on google I have found out a solution of flashing custom kernel. I flashed googymax kernel in which using sTweak we can configure the battery power and ignore safety measures and unstable power.
After doing that my phone gets max 1000 min 1000 and avg 999.
My problem is that when ever I flash new rom I hav to flash custom kernel to ignore the unstable power and safety measures to properly charge my phone.
is there any way I can get back as before I was charging my phone without flashing custom kernel...???
Any answer will be appreciated.
Note :- I was using the original charger which I got in the box while purchasing.
First replace your battery, charger and lead, then flash full stock firmware with Odin.
What happens when you attempt to charge the phone completely off. Do you see the charging graphic?
If something is wrong with the micro-USB port then a wireless charging solution might be your only option.
You could try reloading the firmware using the Kies software on your PC - here's an overview of what to do:
- if you don't already have the Kies software installed on your PC, download it (just search Google) and install it. The first time it runs it'll update itself to the latest version so make sure you run it once before proceeding.
- put your phone in Download mode: with the phone completely off, press and hold the Volume Down and Home and Power buttons simultaneously, and release them all when you see the Samsung splash screen
- connect the phone to your PC with the USB cable that came with the phone
-- if you've never had the phone connected to your Windows-based computer before, you'll see messages about installing drivers, etc - just wait until this is done (may take 5 or 10 minutes) [I don't know what happens if you have a Mac - it probably just works]
- in the Kies software, select the second item in the Tools menu and just follow the prompts to enter the model number (in CAPS) and IMEI/Serial Number (both found under the battery - it's ok to remove the battery at this point)
- the Kies software should start downloading the correct firmware for your phone from the Internet; once that's done (depending on your Internet connection speed) it'll begin downloading that to the phone (this probably takes 10 minutes or so)
Thnaks for your rply

I already did that.
I have tried my friends battery with his charger ( not the 1 which come in box ).

Whats the problem in it.
Is it a software fault or hardware fault....???

Thanks for the reply.
When I try to charge my phone when completely off, 1st it was showing me the graphics of battery charging when I was using 4.3 Custom Rom. But since I flashed my phone with 4.4 Custom Rom, I can't see the graphics of charging battery now.
As per your overview above I have tried all the possible ways to get back charging work properly ( your overview was also included in it ) but I dont get any success in it.
Now I have to compulsory flash custom kernel which supports the options of ignoring unstable power and safety measures.
But then also I will try to do what you told me.
Once again thanks.
Hi , I bought a Oneplus two , through doing a few of the various battery stat guides online , e.g fully discharge , fully charge with phone turned off , turn on phone , if not at 100 % charge some more...usually 15 minutes longer , the battery works great then , just like normal.
This works until the phone is reset again.
But if I fully charge the phone while turned off , turn on the phone , my old problem returns , battery quickly percentage quickly drops down to 96 % after almost no use , then drops fairly quickly from there.
My phone is not rooted (I'm no stranger to rooting etc , twrp , no issues if required) the phone is running the latest official oneplus 2 rom.
If I root the phone and install Twrp , will I lose the offical OTA updates for the phone ?
Is there a program I can use to just reset the battery stats without the need to root etc or fully reset the phone , as it took me ages to setup the phone to just how I like it.
If I really had to , I would even consider a complete change of rom , if so , what would be the best rom to use on the phone that is totally stable and fully working.
All help and advice welcomed please
TYI
