Samsung GT-I8552: Unable to access recovery mode and battery issues - Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro

Hello,
I'm using GT-i8552 stock 4.1.2 (UNROOTED).
I did root my phone with 'Framaroot', the rooting was successful and SuperSU was installed properly. After this I didn't try installing any custom ROMs or any conflicting apps but still I started facing battery issues like,
1. After putting on charge, display shows that it is charging but no progress at all (it freezes at certain %)
2. When the phone is switched off and put on charge, the display just blinks up and goes off (lights on lights off) nothing else appears and no battery progress
3. Sometimes the phone charges properly to 100% but after disconnecting cable, battery status is 50-60%
The above problems occur not all the time.
The things that I tried,
1. Did unroot my phone and removed SuperSU
2. Did a factory reset from phone's settings option.
3. Got an original new battery from service center
4. Took the phone to Samsung customer care (they couldn't find any problem at all and advised that the problem must be in the charger) (I tried to charge with samsung charger, sony's charger & portable charger)
5. Changed USB cables for charging
6. Tried Battery Calibration apk by Nema
7. I think the charging port is little bit damaged but I can still get the phone to charge
Even after doing all the above things the problems still occur sometimes. Other than that the phone works fine, there is no BOOTLOOP.
When I try to boot it into recovery mode (volume up+home+switch on and release after SAMSUNG logo) but after releasing the buttons the SAMSUNG GT-i8552 logo appears and phone starts with no warning and all, it's not accessing the recovery mode or download mode too.
Is there any solution to the battery related issues or do I need to flash the stock firmware again?
I am not aware of the steps of flashing firmware, please do redirect.
Thank You!!

[Q] Recharge boot loop

Hi,
I'm having this problem for a while and don't remember exactly how it occurred, if I remember well, it started happening after flashing a non-stock ROM with CWM, but can't really reproduce it.
Current CWM is Cyanogen CWM-based recovery v5.0.3.2. The problem persisted even when upgrading the ROM to 4.2 (PacRom).
Anyway, as for the problem itself, when I plug-in the device to charger while its off, I see a legacy loading star similar to this one for like 5 secs, then comes up the battery icon for a couple of seconds, and device is turned off again for another 3 seconds. The whole routine repeats over and over infinitely.
Note, that the device warms up during the charging process while it's turned off.
How to solve this?

Afaik, this behavior is normal. When the device is off and you plug it in via a wall charger, it's fine; it boot's up and shows the battery charging icon. However, if you plug it in via a USB port on a computer, you enter an endless boot loop.
Afaik, the only solution is to charge the device via a wall charger, or turn the device on normally and charge via any source you want.
Note: I have flashed back to stock just to test this and it behaved the same.
Note: Jelly bean roms seem to have an additional issue where, when you reboot the device while it's plugged in (any source), the device goes into the "charging only" mode. If you are plugged into a USB port then you end up in the above mentioned boot loop. The solution to that is to simply unplug the device before rebooting...

Problems with offline charging

I'm havin problems with offline charging after i installed cm11. I've tried change kernel and change rom (i'm using PA rom now) and i'm still with the same problem.
When i plug the charger on my phone while turned off, it shows a battery icon with a question mark on it and i think it's not charging. Is this a general problem or did i make something wrong?
Try keeping it plugged in. See if it charges or not.
Also,did you change your bootlogo?
I didn't change my bootlogo. it boots motorola bootloader and then shows the battery icon with the question mark. I left my phone charging this way for a couple of hours and tried to turn it on. my phone booted with 0% battery and then shutted down, so definitely it is not charging. other thing I notice is that when my phone enter this buggy offline charging mode, I have to press power button + volume down to reboot my phone, it kind of get stuck in this mode when my phone enter it
Try using a different charger.
It doesn't seem to be a common issue.
Can you power up the phone whilst charger connected.?
I've tried two different chargers, one of my Moto X and the original one. If I want to charge the phone I need to turn it on first and then plug the charger. I can't turn it on with the charger on cuz it is stuck on that screen with the battery icon
I'm starting to think I've done something wrong. I did the following to get where I am right now:
I was on stock firmware, so I rooted the phone and installed the newest version of SS. Then I downloaded cm11 and gapps and copied to the phone. I entered the SS and wiped everything. After that I installed cm11 and gapps.
When I discovered that issue I've tried install JBX kernel to fix it and nothing. then I wiped everything again and installed PA rom + gapps and still that issue. Did I do something wrong?
No, you didn't do anything wrong.
Since its persistent across both ROMS, its not a ROM issue either.
In my opinion, its most probably a problem with port or the board. The port doesn't deliver enough power.
You can try flashing the stock ROM back, it might repair in case something s/w related is corrupted. If it doesn't work after that, then its a h/w glitch for sure.
just in case, if I install stock rom and the problem goes away, what might be causing this problem?
I can't re-flash stock rom because I can't charge my phone and I can't boot into the rom or recovery. I don't think fastboot charges my phone. I just realized that bootloader is locked. Maybe this is the problem, isn't it?
it isn't a h/w glitch because before cm11 it was OK to charge offline
You'll need a factory cable to flash in case your phone has insufficient power.
Look for it, there's a guide about making one in the general section I suppose.
No need, I've managed to charge the phone through USB on my pc. When I plug the charger on my phone, that glitch happens, but when I plug the USB on my pc, the phone lights up a white led and apparently it charges the phone (slower, but charges). That's really weird. I really want to know what is happening to my phone

Problem with my xt 1225

My xt1225 was fine , until some time ago.
Problem started there : I couldnt let it drain all the battery down or it would be a pain in the ass to charge it up.
If i let , the problem was that everytime i plug the charger in the phone would go up a second showing the charging screen and then turn off. The solution was to try to boot on bootloader or recovery and pray that it doesnt turn off, then the phone would charge a bit and back to the normal state.
The strange thing come here : one day after letting it go down to 1% (it didnt shut down but stayed at 1%), i plugged the charger in and the battery wouldnt go up past 1%. I let for hours and nothing . Then I managed to go on receovery (twrp 3.0.2) and :
The processor temp was something like 4293089048 C , the battery still 1%.
After some restarts on recovery i noticed that the battery would sometimes change a bit of the value , and i plugged the charger and managed to charge up battery to 100% in recovery only.
Now , after charging the phone a bit i decided to reflash the stock rom (was using aex) but i noticed that I can`t get my system recognized on usb. Neither on Bootloader , recovery , or system .
Anybody can help me =(?
Obs : Still have acess to system (with a custom rom , aex) , and i can flash things on recovery

First of all, it seems like you have posted in the wrong section.
The XT1225 has a dedicated forum available here. So, the correct section for your thread should be here.
Secondly, it sounds like you're having a battery hardware issue. The battery is likely failing. If you can, you should replace it.
It might also be a USB Cable or USB connector issue. So, you should first change the USB Cable. If it doesn't help, change the battery. If that fails too, then you must ultimately change the USB connector (better take it to a repair center).
Before any of these, you can try to calibrate the battery with a calibration app, but I seriously doubt that will work. It's still worth the try!

Samsung weird problems

Hello guys, i come to you with a problem with my phone. I've a Samsung J7 Prime SM-G610M/DS with Stock ROM.
Everything started when a new update came to install like a week ago. It downloaded it correctly and started update process.
In the middle of it, it ran out of battery.. So it began..
1) The phone is practicaly not charging. If i plug it to an USB port or directly to the wall, charges like 6% every 24 hours. Sometimes it doesn't charge at all. Note: whenever i plug it, the battery-charging animation does not work properly. Just turns the battery icon with the lightning in it and then turns off the screen, not showing battery percentage or animation whatsoever. Battery is non removable and tried cleaning charge port.
2) If i put it on Download Mode, computer doesn't recognize it. It is not a drivers issue. I've another Samsung J7 Prime and it connects correctly. I must discard everything Odin-related.
3) In recovery mode, i've emptied cache and did several factory resets with no luck. If i turn it in a regular way, it tries to apply some update but changes to "No command" view.
4) I tried downloading the last stock version and putting it on an SD. Formatted it correctly but when i try to update from SD in recovery, a message comes up: "Couldn't mount /sdcard".
I'm starting to loose my mind here guys.. Please give a hand or a clue!!
Thank you very much.

Galaxy s6 active SM-G890a constant boot loop, cannot access recovery mode.

The phone has successfully been flashed with a few different firmwares since the bootloop started occurring. the phone will only power on when the cable is plugged in but it will show the samsung screen and then start the "Installing system update" screen and then instantly go to "No command" and then boot back to the samsung screen to repeat the process. download mode is accessible but i cant get into recovery mode to reset the cache or perform a factory wipe.
The cable is fine and the usb port on the phone let me flash software via odin so i don't understand why it only powers on with a cable plugged in.
Could this be a battery issue? i'm very new to this website and the software end of phone repair stuff so any help is greatly appreciated!
i'm currently running 7.0 firmware G890AUCS7DRF2 from boxwares but the bootloop has been occurring since before i even tried to flash anything.
Also, all of my drivers seem to be up to date so i don't think that's posing any issues.
Thanks so much in advance!
Hi , try to clean the charging port of your phone with 100% alcohol and with clean toothbrush also you can use needle to clean the usb port contact.
Another what you can do is to put your phone into the charger for abot 30 minutes and see if your phone is become to hot on the back side what can be sign of bad charging port or probably dead battery .
