Database Develop

Followed the guides....but is this bricked?

I was on previously on stock GB rom and kernal (unrooted) and then used Kies to upgrade to ICS. Then followed the various guides on XDA to get root. Everything was fine for a few months except that the responsiveness on the note was laggy probably because when i used Kies to upgrade to ICS it was a no wipe and so everything i had installed on GB moved over to ICS.
Anyway, I read up on the brick bug and followed the guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857556) to use odin to flash kernal to HydraCore. Then rebooted into CWM, wiped data and cache and then installed Rocketrom v12. Reintalled all the apps from google play. Then used titanium backup to restore the data only of various apps (the only system app restored was internet (bookmarks)). Rebooted phone and everything was still fine. Then after booting up and was running a few apps (eg whatsapp) to make sure the data had been restored. Then noticed the screen started to flicker....then after about 30 seconds the screen went blank. And now no response, cannot get into recovery, download mode and not recognise when i plug it into computer. Is this the infamous brick bug??? Or something else??? My battery was on about 40% so i guess its not out of battery....could it be that the battery has died (i am not using the original samsung battery).....pls help!!!!

the screen flickers and the phone goes off is a classic sign of battery drained to 0.. charge again while the phone is off and try to reboot again. i guess u should be ok

Did you try charging the phone whilst off?

[Q] M7 restart 1 minute after starting

Hi all,
My battery got drained yesterday night and i charged the phone when it was off.
When I'm starting the phone everything looks OK but after a minute its restarting.
I'm using TEAMWIN recovery, so i tried to clear cache and dalvik cache, which did not resolved the issue.
I restored an old backup and that backup works just fine with no restarts what so ever.
What can be the issue? how can i load my phone? even just for 20 minutes so i can backup properly.
Please help!

Could not find a way around it - pushed new rom

Could not find a way around the issue but i think the cause was an air update (on a rooted phone+TeamWin recovery)
I pushed a "reset rom" (from htc1guru) without deleting data. did all the setup and app downloading during Germany-Ghanan 2-2, so it wasn't that bad .

Xperia Z Boot problem

Hello, this is my first post here and ofcourse I have a problem...
So yesterday I was rooting my Xperia Z, unlocked the debug mode and was able to access the recovery mode a few times. So I flashed my device to 4.2 version with a computer then I copied the 4.2.2 .tft file and the Kernel into my phones internal memory, turned my phone off, turned it on again, turned on the recovery mode, did the "Wipe data/Factory reset", wiped the catche partition, wiped the Dalvik cache, formated the system, formated the data and the cache. So then I went to install the prerooted ROM but my phoned seemed not to find it in the internam memory so I selected to reboot my device and since then it is acting all weird...
So the phone then tried to reboot but freezed at the Sony logo, the battery was about 89% and the phone started heating like it was working on its max, the phones battery died after about 2 or 3 hours, so ofcourse I tried connecting it to my PC to try to charge it but it just started to boot loop, I could hear the computer making a notification sound that the device is connected and after a few seconts it just disconnects. It seems that the phone isnt charging at all because after leaving the phone to charge for the whole night with a regular charger the phones LED was still red and was giving me 3 blinks when I tried to turn the device on. I think that if I could to access the recovery mode again I would be able to fix everything from there on my own...
Any help to fix this problem is welcome, I can provide more information about the problem if there are some questions
P.S. I already tried to remove the microSIM and microSD cards

I noticed a really weird thing. It looks like it might be both technical and software problem. So earlyer I had the rooted 4.4.2 version but it started to bootloop when I turned on the camera, the device turned off when it was at about 60% battery. So I though to hell with this version and wiped everything again, installed the 4.4 version with flashtool but then the bootlooping started again, it went no further than the Sony logo, after about 2 hours of trying to get the damn thing on I took my fathers Galaxy S4 charger and pluged it into my phone, for my surprise the phone started charging and was displaying that battery icon in the middle of the screen, so now its about at 30% battery and trying to turn it on wont work, almost gets to the main screen and then instantly turns off. Ill try to charge it to about 80% battery and then try to turn it on. I suspect that the device thinks its battery is empty when it is actually at about 60%

Charging problems

Hello guys,
I've just bought my lg g watch r and putted on charge (it was at 1%), and after 1.5 hours it was still at 1%. I've tried reset (even from recovery), but it didn't help at all. It seems like it's stuck.
After, I've decided to let it discharge and recharge from zero, now I've putted again on charge, and after 40 minutes it is at 3%, so this time it recharge, but very slowly.
Any ideas..? What can I do..? The watch seems to recharge well, it seems only a battery visualization error..

I've never ever said this about any Android device before..
..but after I flashed custom recovery and roms..
The watch got all messed up... Now it doesn't charge properly so I can't reflash a working Rom.. Tried wiping everything using TWRP twice, flashing stock recovery and factory resetting twice and then flashed stock system and boot..
But the phone fails during first boot.. Can't even get to the setup wizard..
Hate this watch.. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Mi8 not charge

Hello everyone,
I've got a problem with my Mi 8. When I charged battery to 100% then I remove cable from my phone and use it until battery 30%.
So I've to charged again but nothing happened.. it's not charging until I restart the phone, it's will charging again.. and If I want to charge my Mi 8 I must restart once before charge it.
How to solve it and what happened with my phone?
Thanks.
PS. I already update the global rom latest version

Hello i had the same problem, i installed new ROM (factory reset) and this fixed the problem, seems something gets stuck. Got mad that i had to reboot everytime when i wanted to charge phone.
At the beginning everything was stock. After the problem occured i unlocked BL flashed TWRP and then a ROM from mi-globe. This fixed problem for me, since then i never had it again.

Probably batterystats file was broken. Try deleting it. It'll be recreated at 100% charge or at reboot. You can do this on twrp or with different apps.

I agree with @The War Profiteer
Boot to recovery, and use recovery file manager to navigate to Data/system and then scroll down past the folders and delete batterystats.bin file then reboot. Alternately if you have root you can install this app "Battery Calibration" to calibrate your battery.
Afterwards charge your phone to 100%.
