Hi all,
I'm having an odd issue. No matter whether I used Odin or Smart Switch I can simply not flash a stock firmware. Regardless of the method, the following always happens.
Downloads firmware to device
Reboots
Shows Android dude with "Installing update"
Stops half way through
Shows Android dude with "Erasing"
Disappears after few seconds
Reboots
Nothing is changed. Same as before the whole process...
EDIT: I actually got somewhere. I flashed an older firmware than the one on my device and it did change the firmware and baseband, but it didn't erase all the data... Is this the normal procedure when you flash a firmware using Odin?
Is it possible Android stops the software update if it sees the battery life is not high enough?
EDIT: nope. Charged to 100%, tried again in Odin. Same story...
Try changing usb cables or ports on your computer..make sure you are using a usb 2.0 port on your computer.

Is this the normal procedure when you flash a firmware using Odin? I was sure it would completely wipe the device. Is there a setting I'm missing?
Stock firmware not correct work...
Good morning guys,
I have a problem installing a new firmware with Odin often you accept it as an update of the same non-erasing the data partition and then of course creates problems of battery drain absurd.
Other times aa deletion is successful but the phone has an abnormal battery consumption by approximately 6% per hour, in first place in consumption are the Android operating system entries and operating system that have a 40% higher consumption .. .
I also tried setting then further OTA but the situation does not change.
Can someone help me?
Have you rooted the phone previously? Rooting causes battery drain issues on the Note 5 which are fixed by installing the latest version of SuperSU.

Hi krazykirk thank you for your interest, I no longer want to root the device as I'd like to sell it. Anyway by the time here I install supersu with twrp o auto-root the battery drain disappears.

A month ago I posted this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650113
And I still cannot fix the problem. I sent the phone back to repair but it didn't help at all! The repair description said that they did a 'software update'. It took about 3 weeks for my phone to return so I don't really want to do it again. Unless I really have to.
I have tried many stuff to fix this problem:
Bought 2 new batteries
Clean ROM install with NVFlash
Installed different basebands and rils
Formatted the batterystats
Tried different kernels and ROMs (custom and official)
Pulled out SIM/SD Card
Please does anybody know a solution for this problem? I really want my phone back!

Wow your battery drain (Screenshots from your first thread) is really huge. Let's try to solve that mystery together
But there is a chance that your phone really is faulty after all you tried already.
Please insert the original battery and fully charge it.
I don't use stock roms but think you should flash an official kdz first without any custom kernels. V20q or V20s (maybe with flix tweakpack). DONT use titanium backup etc, leave it stock.
You should install battery monitor widget by 3c to get information on your mV consumption.
In your Screenshot your reception wasn't good, please set it to "2g only" for now (or even consider to disable data totally and check how it behaves with wifi only).
Use your phone normally. How is your battery?

Thanks for responding.
I have tried to install the latest firmware with the LG update tool and the drainage was about the same. I did not install anything else on the device then.
Currently I am on the latest CM7 kang by temasek and baseband version v20s with 420 ril (also v20s daemon, I don't even know what this is).
I'll try battery monitor widget.
The reception at where I live is not so good even with 2g only. But I don't think that's the case becuase I tested with airplane mode activated and have also removed the SIM card.
Thanks again.
Just wanted to report that battery monitor widget is showing a power consumption of about -130 mA while on standby.
I think this is a very big number. And I think I had about -10 mA before this problem.

I had the v20s deamon installed too and I also had a pretty huge battery drain.
So my suggestion : remove it (by installing clean rom again).
As Tonyp already mentioned : try to install an original LG rom with it's default BB en RIL (use NVFlash to flash it). Don't use any other kernels or tweaks. Just the default.
Also don't restore anything (for instance with Titanium Backup or other program).
And set your phone to use 2G only, because a bad reception can indeed drain your battery (and fast too !), because it constantly seeks the network. Setting it to 2G only (it's mostly the strongest signal) can avoid battery drains.
And finally try to recalibrate your battery, there are tools available for that in the Google Play store.
Recalibrating the battery is a hoax. At least if you mean to wipe the battery stats (what most tools do). Real recalibrating would be to completely drain the battery (till the 2x turns of - not more! A completely empty li-ion battery would damage it!) and fully charge it again. But that doesn't improve the battery life, it will only improve the battery reading precisness.

Same results with stock based roms too?
CM roms are battery hungry
Yes, I got the same results on stock ROMs. I tried to 'cleanly' install the v10b firmware via NVFlash without installing else on my phone many times. And the problem still persist.
My battery lasted for two day easy (with my usage), until I tried to update to a newer software. Ma version was T-mobile Croatia, and it's cust version was no allowing for any software upgrade (what I had, was with what I was stuck). The phone felt really slow and laggy so I went for it.
I updated to b609, but had the cust error in notification (can't remember the actual text), and then flashed via three button the EU cust (found on this forum). Everything seemed to went fine, but now I have very bad battery life. Over night I loose 40% battery in 6 hours (this is too much imho). Tried to flash B615 (flash failed), B613, B616 (all via three button, and reset after flash), and the battery problem still persists.
Any ideas?
Ηave seen from the battery stats wich app uses the battery alot?
Without screen, my biggest battery drainers (if we can trust battery app) are: Android os, Mobile standby, and Android system (well Android system is on average at half what the first two drain....).
Any ideas?
Ah,I think you can rollback to EM UI2.3 .

your vendor version is not compatible with B609. You should be in CUSTC432. Check it in Setting-About phone-Custom version.
Hello all. I am from the UK and recently purchased a sprint model phone. I wanted to remove handsfree activation. In order to do that i need a root. I rooted 5.1.1 with kernel SpaceX-Kernel-v0.1_N920P(official).tar and all seemed ok. Then i noticed that you could root marshmallow. I followed a tutorial on youtube and flashed two files through twrp no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip and SuperSU zip. I rebooted the phone and now i have a persistent problem. After around 15-30 seconds my phone shuts off and reboots itself. I have tried reflashing stock roms and the problem still persists. I have no idea if i have broken the phone as its usable until it shuts off . I went into the about phone section and it tells me the baseband and software versions are unknown aswell. Is there anyway to recover this?
Let the battery die completely and then it will work fine again afterwards

This has solved the issue. Many thanks ! :laugh:
Im writing this because my battery life got really bad, and please don't start saying it's a ROM, Google or some apps I've installed issue, because I got this problem with basically every rom, starting from stable, dev MIUI ti LOS15.1.
As you can see from the pictures I get "Mobile network standby drain" in every rom, (In MIUI is called Cell standby)
So i thought It was a firmware issue and I changed, reflashed It and formatted a lot or times but no luck.
So at this point I thought that was an Android way to tell me my battery is diying, but I don't really understand, I also got an android wearable device but this problem persisted even before I bought it.
I've also attached a bugreport
2h of screen are also good for what I got usually, other days I can reach the end of the day 20% with 1h and 30 of screen.
Seems like I solved in LOS15.1 by flashing the latest firmware from the latest dev package from xiaomi, replacing the files on the firmware flashable zip which some guy posted, but not updated it.

So, did it help? Please be specific what exactly did you do.
Set the principal SIM(The SIM that you use mobile data) to 4G Network mode and the secondary SIM to GSM or 2G mode.
I have a 64gb/4gb ram P10 Plus, my build number is VKY-L29C605B112, so I tried updating and there's nothing, using the Firmware Finder I've get to download the most recent full firmware (B361), but it get stuck at 5% for half and hour (think about how bad the waiting was...) And restarts without changes, what I'm doing wrong? I'm missing something? This is driving me crazy
Did you use the proxy method? You must pause the download at 1% or so, remove the manual proxy settings and then continue the download.
Nope, used the update.zip
