Hello everybody.
I've bought a genuine battery HB486486ECW but after replacing it the phone gets stuck in a bootloop on the "HUAWEI Powered by Android" startup screen.
But I can enter recovery & fastboot while on the new battery tough (and perform whipe and factory reset but still bootloops when reboot)
Different stories are dwarving the web ranging from:
1) The battery has a serial number written inside that's bound to the motherbord and you need a paid app called ChimeraTool to change it (costs 120 dollar/year so no go for a single repair)
2) Similar as 1) but with a paid tool called sigmaKey
3) You should replace the battery with one from idoc.eu (but they don't sell it anymore on their website)
But I would be very surprised that its not possible to change the battery as they are for sale all over the internet also on thrustworthy sites (goole for HB486486ECW )
Also the internet is also full of video guides how to replace the battery so i don't think they would film this when it didn't work for themselves?
I replaced the new battery with the old one and now its working fine again. But still .... did anyone manage to replace it with a new one?
Hi, have you figured it out?
If not, try to place in the new battery but dont close the phone yet and instead connect the old battery and start the phone. When it starts, plug in the charging cable, unplug the old battery and plug in the new one. Let me know if it fixed the issue.
That is a good idea but meanwhile the phone got stolen.
But I'm thinking about buying the same phone again it still rocks after 2 years
OK I bought the same phone 2nd hand because it's the best one I ever had. Did anyone figure out how to swap the battery yet?
The solution is in this thread...the battery swap is what many people said works.
hey, i'm repairing this kind of phone since long time. The problem is that the serial number of the battery is bound to the display, thats why some 3rd party screen manufactures sell screen together with battery. There are two solutions for this:
1st you can replace the battery with a 3rd party battery. You need to be alittle lucky with this, some of them work, some of them dont.
2nd Option is to reprogramm the batteries serial number to the original serial number, this can be done with a tool like Sigmakey (Probably a little expensive for using it only ones)
Anyway, the phone will start just normal if you put back the original battery.
I hope this helps.
Huawei p30 pro, I tested 7 pieces of original battery, none works. So I can't replace a battery without Chimera or Sigma?
Greetings
No, original battery will only work with reprogrammed serial number, alternative is 3rd party battery.

i got this free carjack to usb adapter and i tried charging my tilt in my car with the cord that plugs into the computer.
well as soon as i plugged my phone in it turned off and i couldnt turn it back on via the power button.
after a few different combinations of removing the battery and reinstalling it and soft resets it now works... but not as it should. i try charging it and the battery doesnt gain any juice and when i unplug it it still thinks its charging. so at the moment i have about 30% battery left and i took it out so if need be i can do a hard reset on the phone, because it does turn on now.
does anyone have any idea what went wrong and if my phone is alright?
i have fairly standard software upgrades i can try to list if it is needed
You might have fried your charging hardware inside the phone, which as far as I know is not covered by warranty. The problem is that many free carjack to usb converters are of very poor quality and either don't give the right voltage (5 Vdc) or the right current (minimal 1 Amp necessary for Tilt/Kaiser while free chargers usually only give 0.4 or 0.5 Amps). Please use only quality brandname chargers inside the car. These cost only 20 buck max which is nothing compared to the phone-replacement.
Note: I use a carcharger from Garmin which came with my bluetooth Garmin Mobile XT receiver and so far no problems.
so basically im screwed?
Well, if the hardware in your phone is busted, then you're screwed. Check your warranty if it's covered but I guess not since it states that only HTC aproved accessories may be used and I don't think your free Carjack-USB converter is approved.
Or you could go to Squaretrade.com , purchase a warranty , and then process a claim shortly after (1 month). I use squaretrade, never had to process a claim but at least I have piece of mind.

..same here I have Square Trade for my Kaiser and other things. Used it once for a camera problem with no hassles. This could help after as mentioned 1 month membership has gone by. I purchased accidental damage protection too... it has to be new and less than 1 month old to qualify for ADP. ADP covers your butt for any problems.
If your lucky maybe only the battery got damaged, like the overheat/overcharge circuity inside the battery, I am guessing it has that inside the battery pack..and at least on my Kaiser without the battery installed and the phone plugged in it wont even turn on to test without a battery. In any case I wish you good luck with that, I've seen other peeps here that had the same problem, do a search of this forum and see if they had any luck.
Not to familiar with the whole Squaretrade thing? Could someone further explain this?

Just call att and act like you don't know anything. Explain whats going on with it right now and not that you plugged into some random thing.
HI Friends
I am New here i need your help
i have bought a HTC TOUCH HD from London and I am staying in India. Everyday in the morning my HTC doesn't Boot, although the Battery is charged full in the Night. I have to take this cell to the Technician and he externally supplies high voltage to the battery. and then it boots slightly and then gets charged on my cell. Even hes not able to locate the error. GUYS I NEED UR HELP SO PLZZZZZZZ HELP. THANKS in ADVANCE
Doesn't boot or does not turn on? quite a big difference.
If the battery is flat every morning i suggest you try a new battery.
Hey Riki,
There's (almost..) nothing that a healthy Hard Reset can't cure in a WM based device. Since you've reached this unfortunate stage, there's nothing you can loose anyway (in case you've managed to synchronize to a PC if only once (or haven't even once) you are even in a better position.
I suggest you HR once, to focus the device to manufacturer's default state and exclude a possible S/W or ROM issue. In a best case you'll get back your device. In worst (and I wish you won't be there) you have a H/W malfunction. If you still can, I also suggest you try another battery.
In second case, and since you've purchased the device abroad assuming it is under warranty, you should contact HTC UK Support, request an RMA (Returned Merchandise Authorisation) and ship the device for service. In best cases turnover time is 2-3 weeks and you get either a new device or yours fixed.
Wish you best,

Ive just bought a new battery for my Htc Diamond but the phone wont recognise it or charge it. Has anyone any tweaks or ideas on how to get the phone to recognise the new battery..
It will work on a old 1.37 rom but not on any new rom that Ive flashed the phone with. Its driving me crazy
any help would be brilliant
Thanks
RECHARGE Reply
This might not be the same thing, but I have similar problem on my Diamond. After purchasing the machine, I quickly learned of the poor battery life that is inherent with it and proceeded to purchase some cheapo third party batteries on eBay. These worked for about a month, and now they refuse to charge many times. They'll discharge just fine, but it refuses to respond to the USB cable. It never does this on the stock battery, and I have all but given up on the third party ones.
Hopefully you have better luck than I did.

None of that stuff you're doing is needed, there's either a hardware defect, or simply the battery is dead and has high wear, which can't be avoided. The wear level rises as you use it and it gets very old...Buy a new bettery that's extended, or get another phone, that's recent to avoid high battery wear.
If I read all this properly, is sounds like you already purchased a new battery and charger, but didn't fix the problem, so like Ace42 mentions, it is probably a hardware problem in your phone preventing the charge.
Check the pins that connect to the battery, and make sure they aren't bent or broken, or maybe some dirt inside the usb connector, otherwise you can pickup a good used Dream/G1 from ebay for US $50 if you watch carefully.
Much less, if you are inclined to taking apart one with a cracked screen and swap parts into yours. (This isn't as easy as it looks from reading the HTC service manual, the parts are much smaller than the pictures, and you need good eyes and careful fingers)
If neither of those is possible, you could always get a "htc g1 desktop charger" from ebay, I have one to keep a spare battery charged for emergencies while i'm away from a power source.

I already buy a battery, but still have the same problem, but for me the problem is software and to start doing so since I did a wipe with froyo 2.2 installed and since then stopped working froyo.
Android 2.1 and 1.6 will work great
but when it begins android 2.2 whatever the rom is not working! 30 seconds goes normally and restarts!
i wipe a way to delete everything but everything? and try osakasuperwipe v2

I had the exact same problem and flashed the radio/spl/roms so many times hoping that the problem would be fixed. The last thing I did was to leave the phone charging while it is powered off. 2 hours later, it booted up and the battery level was at 99% percent. I hope that helps you out too.
I have a T-mobile branded Note 4, which I purchased used on eBay about half a year ago. The device worked fine apart from having difficulty finding and keeping a GPS signal - which I didn't mind as Google Maps worked without a problem. In the last 2 days I saw that my Note had problem with charging the battery. The charging indicator would show up, but the "Fast Charge" option would not appear despite being enabled in the settings. Not only that, but the battery would actually deplete itself when charging.
At first I thought that the problem was with the ROM screwing up for some reason, so I went back and restored a backup, but that didn't help. Following that I thought that the issue might be the battery being faulty so I got myself a brand new battery, but nothing changed. Finally I determined that it was actually the USB port that was at fault. I had issues with software acting up and faulty batteries before, but never a broken USB - which is why I never even considered a broken USB port being the reason.
So, now I'm stuck with a phone that refuses to charge and can't even connect to my PC at all. I honestly don't know what my options are at this point. I don't consider myself tech-savvy enough to take the phone apart and change the USB port, but I'm also out of luck, because the phone is rooted and running a custom ROM on it and without a working USB I can't bring it back to its original state. I'm the second owner as well, so even if I was somehow able to restore the phone to factory settings I don't know if Samsung would honor my warranty and I'm on MetroPCS not T-Mobile, so I can't go through them either.
I'm wondering is there any place online that I can send it and get it fixed for a good price or should I just mark my losses and sell it on eBay for a lower price stating that it has a broken USB port?
If I could make some easy suggestions first. Thanks to some good moves by Samsung if you just buy an external battery charger you can swap charged batteries very easily. If you don't want to swap you can install a wireless charging back on your note and fix that right up. As for accessing the phone with USB you could get away with a Micro SD to SD adapter and just put files you need to transfer on that. Files can also be sent over Bluetooth and WiFi with our phones. The only thing that would be very hard to work around would be Odin flashes to new firmware updates. I will say sometimes you can hold it just right and get a connection but you need a stable hand.
For affordable extern charger with two extra batteries I recommend checking out Anker on Amazon. Any generic MicroSD to SD will work so go with what is cheap. As for professional repair? I looked over the daughter board replacement steps on ifixit and on a quick look it seems like the screen has to be removed making it a pain. Finding someone reputable to do it is really the biggest challenge. I hope the workarounds help and that maybee you can find a permanent fix from a reputable repair shop. Check locally, it is a common procedure. Good luck.

You can purchase the flex port (which has the usb port, mics, etc.) for about $10. There is a youtube video tutorial on how to replace it. Watch it and see if it's easy enough for you to do it.
Did you try a different USB cable? You didn't mention that you tried that. Some independent cellphone shops can repair your phone, but I don't know how much they would charge. Sorry If wasn't much help.
