Not recognizing battery

So after a long fiasco of installing an old GB leak before installing the latest version, to running into force close loops and freezing at the M logo. So finally i reflashed everything and rebooted and bam! i finally got 596 to work. But i noticed that my battery logo had a question mark and that it basically wasn't recognizing my battery. I thought maybe a simple reboot will fix it, went in cwm and flashed the 596 deodexer and rebooted. Got into the lock screen when i noticed it immediately said Connect Charger. When i unlocked the screen after about 10 seconds it went black and my phone wouldn't turn on. If i connect it to pc the led flashes blue for a second meaning the battery is dead but with the battery not being recognized it cannot charge. If i connect it to a wall charger it loads up the M logo and goes to the battery charging screen, when you completely drain your phone and need to wait til its 5% to turn on, but again has a question mark in it. I don't have any external chargers either. Whats my best course of action? Do i have to go out and buy a new battery...? All helps appreciated.

im very sorry about bumping my thread.., but my phones just sitting here useless and its very aggravating and extremely inconvenient so once again, any and all help is appreciated please gentlemen(ladies).

If you can boot even for a second, boot into clockwork recovery and find the option to wipe battery stats. I would try that.
Also, even with a charge, booting while plugged into AC causes it to show the charging screen. Unplug it, turn on your phone, and in the middle of booting THEN plug it in.

Thank you for the reply, ill try wiping the batter stats asap might have to end up ghetto rigging a charge into it. Ive heard that car chargers/external chargers will still charge it, is this correct? I would love to try your second idea except for again i don't even have a charge anymore. i tap the lock button and the led flickers blue for half a second, which if im not mistaken means the battery is completely dead. While i guess its always possible, never really expected my phone to just randomly stop realizing there's a motorola batter inside of there.
Edit: also if im not mistaken i believe that i had tried to plug the charger into after/during boot up and it still says its not a certified battery or whatever the message is and refuses to charge.

Not entirely sure about the car charger idea. It might work. Kind of skeptical on that if it won't even charge when connected to a computer. You could always purchase a new battery, maybe the extended. If it doesn't work just return it. If you don't want to purchase one, I possibly could ship you an extra one just to borrow and try to see if it's a battery or phone issue.

If you have a friend with another droid x you could try borrowing his or her battery to see if the actual battery is the issue without buying one...
It sounds to me like the battery stats on your phone got corrupted when flashing the new software and need to be cleared, which as said before can be done in CW recovery. There is also an app called BatteryCalibration which will help the situation also after you actually get booted up.
Hope this helps!

I have actually seen the app before, at the time didnt really notice what it did but i understand a bit more now. If any of the actual charging methods work ill definitely try that. Might just have to hook it up to a split usb for a while to get a decent charge.

Thanks for all the help man, really appreciate it. Ill try the car charger i suppose, wont hurt. Worst case I do actually have a friend with a DX so i can see whats up with that. Ive been meaning to pick up the extended for a while now just never really got around to it, guess this might give me an excuse. thanks for the offer to send out a battery though

No problem. I've got a bunch of unused stock batteries for various phones from all the extended battery upgrades we've gotten.
In any case, if you can't wipe battery stats, trying a friends battery or something would be the next best thing.
What I would do if you borrow a battery, if it STILL shows the question mark then it is a phone problem. Boot into CWM and wipe battery stats while using your friends battery, then try your own.
Even if your friends battery works without giving the question mark, wipe stats anyways and maybe it will stop doing it for yours.
Best of luck to you with this!

Great news gentlemen! so after trying the usb split usb method to charge my phone, the first time it didnt work. i just figured i didnt have the wires pushing on the battery poles enough so i retried it. Ended up forgetting it was plugged in and about 30-45 minutes later took it off. plug her in and my phone started up, good signs so far. Finally my os loaded and lo and behold, there's my battery showing green! So i quickly throw it on my wall charger and its charging too. Wiped my battery stats just in case anyways and reflashed everything. Got 596 loaded up and running and deodoxed. After trying to install a battery mod i got a few boot loops but after a wipe didn't work luckily i made a 596 nandroid before trying it. Flashed back to that and everything loaded up fine. Cant thank you guys enough for the help you've been. making a nandroid once my full set up is back to normal haha

Stuck a 0% Battery / Doesn't charge

I was running CleanROM (doubt it has anything to do with it). Woke up this morning, phone was working fine. During my first break at work, it was off. Tried turning it on but it goes through the LG splashcreen, then the blue loading circle. Came back home and it doesn't charge. Stuck at 0%.
Made a nandroid backup earlier so I factory reset it. I am able to turn it on once in a while and checked the battery settings, it says needs more time to collect battery usage. Still the phone is stuck at 0%.
Hoping anyone has a fix/answer. TIA

Plug it into a wall outlet. Leave it alone for an hour or so . Give it time to charge up

I left it there for 2 hours, still 0. When I use the phone (While plugged in) it works fine. Unplug it, turns off immediately. It doesn't do that when I'm in recovery.
I formatted data in recovery, still getting the same results. I'm trying to unroot and bring it back to stock but I'm having problems with my PC atm.

Battery stats
Hi!
Did you already try wiping battery stats partition?

I remember that on CWM, but I'm on TWRP. I don't think I've seen that option.

Deleted battery stats, still stuck on 0%. I even switched ROMs from nanadroid to see, no changes.

Phone turned on this morning. Risked taking it out with me for work. The problem now is that the battery was stuck at 100%. After 10 hours of usage and wake an hour on screen time. That's not normal.

How did you solve the problem then?

i have samsung note 10.1 same issue stuck at 0% only
how did you get to 100%
its better than stuck at 0% coz i cant use it when unplug on the charger

Hi mate ,
What rom are you using , what kernel and what bootloader do you have?
There are some incompatibilities between the old bootloader and the new kernels like with the old bootloader if you try to charge your phone while is off the phone will switch back on by itself but it will charge
What happens if you try to charge when the phone is booted?

Draining your phone to 0%, wiping battery stats and deleting batterystats.bin are completely useless things to do. It does nothing. In fact draining your battery untill 0% might actually damage your battery.
Your battery will calibrate itself, nothing you need to do.
Try what it does with the original charger.

I solved the problem
I flashed again same rom without last updated expect
problem=last updated package

New battery is not charging to 100%

Good afternoon guys. A few days ago I bought an original Samsung battery to my N910F. But something is wrong with it, it charges up to 87%. Battery calibration app says that it's charged (due to correct voltage number), but not 100%.
I've searched some infomation about it and possible fixes. So far I did: completly discharge it to 0% and then turn on Note to make the battery 100% dead and then charge it without touching to 100% - no success. Calibrate battery through battery calibration app - still no success, 87%...
I need your help...

how are you charging it (like through computer usb ports or charger)? i read that using a higher or lower voltage than OEM may cause issues.
Maybe u can return it back to the seller.

quote from "ozzyboy"
"When battery is 5-10% On keypad dial *#0228# and press "quick start" then restart your phone, and after all this charge your phone, but don't use it at all...for accurate charging your display must stay off.
Good luck!"

Thank you tareqjordan. I also wiped dalvik cache and cache and everything worked out.

Did you try to charge it turned off.
Few days i charge my note.
No fast charge.
I see the green light and its charged.
Usually i reboot always from full charge.
That time i instead on a reboot i turn it off , then i see charging at 94% just leave it until 100 ?
And if you have 96 97 and remove the battery mine goes to 100 again. And last a few minutes more.

Hello sir, does this method worked perfectly so far? Has the problem came back by any chance?

Heello vincehoo. Yes it has came back once after I have flashed new rom. Then I turned off the phone, pull out the battery, let it stay without battery for a minute, then put the battery in and went to recovery, wiped dalvik cache and cache. After all my battery charges up to 100% without any problem.

Battery level stuck at 0%

Hi guys..
I have a 6P where the phone won't show that its charging and fails to go past 0%. The battery does actually charge though as I can boot up and use it without the cable plugged in. Problem is it will often reboot on its own. I tried changing the battery, the charging port, and the ribbon cable so that only leaves the board left.. but I haven't seen any other threads of anyone else having this issue. Any thoughts?

I think it's most likely a calibration issue. Use a battery calibration app from play store. Or you can try wiping the cache first.Try clearing the battery status from recovery too if others don't work.

Let us know how you go OP. I'm very interested to know.

What does your battery state show in TWRP? If it is more than zero, leave it in Recovery and run down the battery to absolute zero before charging again. Which battery did you buy? Somewhere along the line did you do a factory reset?

I don't have TWRP installed. Just stock firmware. I'll try this tonight and report back
- Regarding battery I bought a "OEM" on eBay. The ribbon cable was smaller than the one I took out though.

If you don't have twrp or any custom recovery then how did you clear the battery stats?

Not sure I understand. The phone can boot on but it shows 0%. I didn't clear any stats other than a factory reset and cache wipe.
