My sincerest apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I've searched high and low in Google and XDA without result.
I recently rooted my P3 and then flashed CM10. Took me a few goes (first time 3G wasn't working etc.), but each time I factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik cache before and after flashing. I eventually got it working just fine, except for the battery not displaying properly. It always said it was charging, even when it wasn't, and it wouldn't charge to 100%, instead stopping at 99%. I used the battery calibration mod, and tried to wipe the battery stats via CWM recovery, but to no avail.
Other than that, and the auto rotation flipping to the opposite side you turn (I understand this is a known bug), everything was running smoothly so I decided to do a backup via CWM recovery. Once everything was completed I booted back up. It all was working as it had before, until I tried to power down. The screen went black, but shortly the Samsung Galaxy splash screen came on and it booted up again. I tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache, wiping battery stats, but it still will not stay powered down. The only exception is when I have it plugged in and charging, then it will stay on the battery charging animation instead of rebooting.
Any help would be much appreciated. I really don't want to have to revert to base CWM after tasting the awesomeness of CM10!

Which version are you using? It was a known bug in an older ROM, which should have been fixed in the newer ones.
Using the 20120816 version that I got from the link in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803593
I've also had this problem for awhile, with several different ROM's.
Does fastboot work for you? Cause it doesn't for me, but not sure if related.

Are you using the correct recovery? Not sure that you would be able to get as far as you if it were wrong but ...
I caused myself heartache at some point as a result of using the wrong recovery. It gave my weird results too. I am other 16 Aug ROM and I find it pretty damn good.
Here is the right one

I got the recovery from the same thread I linked above, so pretty sure it was the right one. Just to be sure I downloaded and flashed the one you linked with Odin, but it's made no difference. However, I have (finally) had success in getting the battery to charge to 100%. I kept wiping the battery stats every time I booted up, and powered it down while plugged in and left it on charge when I wasn't using it. After a couple of days (with it on and off charge) it finally said it was fully charged when I powered it on. I have used the battery calibration app with it at 100%, so hopefully it shall begin indicating properly, although it still says it's charging all the time, and the charging animation when it is powered down does not indicate its actual charge level.
As for it not powering down when it's not plugged in... I am still new to rooting and ROMs, but would it be of help if someone who has no problems powering down uploaded their kernel and I flashed that?

Re-download the lastest ROM and flash it; the latest ROM does not have that problem.

Where would I get that ROM from? The latest one from the link above at the Droid basement is the 16th August version I already have.

I would recommend you re-download and re-flash it, since others (myself included) have no such problem with that version.
Didn't work. Redownloaded, reflashed, same problem. I even tried to unroot it so that I could flash it all again fresh, but somewhere along the way something has gone wrong. Odin is not working anymore. I can transfer files to and from my tablet, the computer still recognises it when plugged in, and Odin recognises the USB connection too, but if I try to flash something with it, it always says it is unable to open the COM port.
Tried this many different ways, with different roms, nothing seemed to work. Finally, tried AOKP milestone 6 (based on CM9) and it works perfectly. Go figure...
Hi all,
Tonight my XL decided to die on me, so to speak. What happened is the XL was just sitting on my computer desk doing nothing, I was on Facebook on my laptop, and then the XL suddenly made the boot animation sound, and I was quite confused. I tried pressing the lock button and it did nothing, so I left it for 5 minutes and still nothing had happened, so I took the battery out, put it back in and tried turning the phone on. It went to the boot animation and played the sound, but it just stayed at the boot animation, I left it for 10 minutes and still did nothing. I did a nandroid backup in CWM, did a total wipe, emptied cache, cleared dalvik and battery stats and tried restoring the rom. It restored successfully but when booted, it went to the boot animation and kept doing the same thing, staying there. The last thing I remember doing was installing Lookout from the Play Store. My phone was running Total Senseless v4.1.1 (WTF Edition) and had the LTX Kernel v0.7.7. It has an unlocked bootloader and is also S-OFF. I had the rom installed for around 10 days and it was working fine, OC too. If it matters, it was from Vodafone AU. I flashed Ice Cold Zombie v1.4 (I think) on it around April last year, but I had made a nandroid backup of the original rom and restored it a few months later due to battery issues. I then stayed on stock until I flashed the current rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated
If any other info is needed, I will try to provide it if possible.
Thankyou,

If wiping data didn't help getting rid of the bootloop, then restore your nandroid backup & flash the WTF rom again.. this way ur system will be wiped with a fresh install while keeping the data intact..
or just to make sure things are smooth with the device, you can try flashing any of the stock rooted ROMs from <- here ->
OK, I will try that, thankyou.
OK, I tried that and it didn't work, just stayed at boot screen again. When I get home I will try flashing a from from your link. Thanks
Hello everyone,
I just hardbricked my SGS+ and now I'm a bit curious how this could happen.
This is what I did:
I used to run CM9 RC5 from arco68 along with the Kernel for ICS from Christopher83 and CWM 6.0.1.2.
Because my phone always lost the wifi-connection and also had some freezes I decided to try out CM10 Beta 3 from ivendor.
I backuped my phone, downloaded the zips and even verified the MD5sums. Next I flashed CWM 6.0.1.9 as recommended in the thread from ivendor.
After exporting the nandroid backup and other stuff like photos to my computer I wiped everything as mentioned in the thread, flashed the two zips and rebooted. Everything went fine and I was almost ready with setting up my phone again when I got my first softreboot.
Suddenly it showed the CM-bootlogo and after maybe 10 seconds I was back on my homescreen. I got another two or three softreboots until I decided to flash the Kernel 3.x from CastagnaIT.
I rebooted into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache, flashed the zip and rebooted.
Now I wanted to reboot into recovery again to fix permissions but instead I got a softreboot and my phone stuck at the CM10 bootlogo.
I waited for around 5 minutes and then I just turned the phone off and booted into the recovery mode.
Because I wanted a clean install without any problems like softreboots I decided to wipe my phone again (data, cache, system) and just reflash the zip for CM10. And at this point everything went wrong.
I flashed CM10 but when I tried to flash gapps my phone just turned off. And no, the battery was not empty. In fact the battery was at around 50-60% and my phone was also connected to my computer.
I tried to turn on my phone but now it stuck at the Samsung bootlogo.
The next thing I did was probably a horrible mistake. I tried to un-brick my phone but I did not realize that I could boot into download mode without problems so I guess my phone wasn't softbricked at all.
Well, after that I still stuck at the Samsung bootlogo and couldn't enter recovery mode. I got into download mode somehow and maybe this was my second mistake. I tried to flash the "i9001Reset.zip" via Odin. Everything went fine but when Odin said "Close serial port and wait until rebooting" my phone was completely dead. I think it was while I tried to flash the reset-file when I got a message like "MBR: read failed". So somehow I managed to destroy my master boot record.
Now I can't turn on my phone or enter download nor recovery mode. I already removed the battery for about 45 minutes but this didn't work either.
My phone is dead but at least I saved the important data and maybe I'll get a new one through warranty. Or I just buy a Nexus 4.
My questions are:
What did I do wrong especially when I tried to save my phone?
How can I prevent such things from happening?
And at which point I should have got help here in the forum or elsewhere?
I would really appreciate some tips for the future because I already flashed and used a lot of different ROMs but this is the first time something really went wrong.
Thanks for reading and thanks for your help in advance.
(Please excuse my non-perfect englisch.)
Greetings,
Mangoniter
Everything worked fine for almost a whole year, then my tablet started acting strange last night. It got really bad this morning so i was trying to install a antivirus thinking that might help, but it wouldn't open. Reports of program failures were popping up like crazy, so i turned it off and back on about five minutes later. Now its been over an hour and its stuck in the cyanodenmod loading screen, its never taken this long.
Is there any program i can use on my laptop to wipe everything on my tablet and install another os? I'm not sure how it'd work seeing as how its stuck loading. Do i need to let the battery die? I really just want to plug it in and wipe the whole thing but i haven't a clue where to start.
Please help?
I took the back off and unhooked the colorful wire thing from it to turn it off, and put it back. It restarted fine and now I'm attempting to wipe everything on it. When i first pushed the erase all button it didn't do anything, then after trying a few more times it restarted to a "teamwin" something (have no idea what that is) and it restarted again, so far its back on the cyanogenmod loading loop again. (I'm a little amazed i even managed to root it in the first place, considering i didn't know what "os" stood for before that. I really need help with stuff like this.)
If i can get it back to the normal screen, is there any program i can use to reformat everything and like an alternative to cyanogenmod for the program?
Which CyanogenMod version are you running ? The teamwin that you saw when it booted up was the recovery you flashed to install custom ROMs like CyanogenMod. Make sure you have the latest recovery before anything . take a look here and let me know when your up to date and we can put you device back in working form

Hello everyone. I have encountered something I don't understand. My note suddenly turned off and wouldn't restart. I thought maybe my battery was low so I plugged it in and it started. I decided to get a new battery and charged it up same thing was going on sometimes it would restart and be fine I was running stock rooted rom twrp recovery never dropped it never messed with it. Then since i was having trouble I took it to a cell repair shop. I could boot to download and twrp but when i tried to back up the rom it would get to about 2 percent and shutdown. The only way the phone stayed on is if i am in download or twrp but i couldn't do anything repair shop couldn't help either. I was desperately trying to save some data off the phone when i gave up I said ok i will reflash it all goes well in odin it reboots then says applying update but never gets past the boot farthest i have got is the tmobile screen. then it shuts down and keeps vibration and trying to restart only to shut down and do it all over again. so I am now stuck in a boot loop it seems not sure if that is accurate. I have no idea how to fix this any ideas anyone i have reflashed the latest rom twice and everything should be fine but it isnt. I am wondering what to do next I tried to flash twrp but it didnt take and also tried cf oneclick root didnt take either but odin says success and pass. I am at the end of my idea list and out of google searches no idea what to try next. So I have come to the one place i may find some help XDA. Thanks in advance
your phone partition got messed up you have to put TWRP back and then go in wipe and then you have to do file repairwhen you fix file then ran back the stock firmware which will fix bootloader
then go back install twrp and install custom rom with root

there is the list of stock firmware try them see which one works with twrp, you have to install twrp first so you can fix the problem using repair files in twrp

Befour flashing twrp make sure you uncheck Auto reboot....when it's done flashing pull your battery, put it back in the phone but don't power on....you want to boot right into recovery......then twrp will stick
