[TIP?] Arc battery100% or 0%, not charging SOLVED!

Hi,
I hope I made this in the right section but I've got myself into a really nasty problem and I know how to fix it after spending full 10 hours. Maybe this will help anybody.
I re-used my Arc after a while and learned about custom roms and all. I've updated to Stock 2.3.4 - Stock 4.0.4 - Ultrakitkat 2.0.1 - Stock 4.0.4 (back because of trying to compare performances between custom and stock) - Ultimate HD 5.0.1.
When going from Ultrakitkat to Stock 4.0.4, after a day I woke up and found my phone rebooting Android on a loop while in the wall-charger. Went to take a shower and the phone was dead.
Charger didn't work, put it on my laptop USB and went on, only to find the battery at 100%. When disconnecting the phone, it immediately went blank and didn't turned on. I've looked for this problem for so many hours and tried flashing my romand kernel for some time (including phone drops dead WHILE in flashing) and trying out different way's to connect and boot but nothing worked. Installed many battery tools and apps but still nothing.
I;ve searched a lot and didn't found any conclusion anywhere, but combining every information online I've solved it!!
Apperantly there is an error inbetween roms, that when you go from custom rom + certain kernels, back to stock rom, it stops recognizing the battery.
To solve this (for me it worked):
Flashtool stock TFT 4.0.4
Fastboot flash the LUPUSV16 kernel (the magic trick!)
Turn on phone, and put it on a charger for 15 minutes, it should start recharging somewhere and show the correct battery %
I wanted to use the Ultimate HD just for a try and when flashing (I use Advanced Stock Kernel) + Ultimate HD
DO NOT WIPE BATTERY STATS! This will recreate the problem.
This worked for me and I hope this will help someone too who's thinking there is a problem with the battery.

Mostly reflashing the kernel does the job

Leaving the phone turned off for some hours worked for me!

Thank you!

if you dont want see this problem
do not downgrade to stock kernel

Same issue here.. after fastbooting stock ftf.. Phone not charging and not recognized in fastboot/flashmode

Guys worked for me
Flash rush kernel after downgrading and tada its done.
Its just coz rush recognizes the hardware chip algorithm for battery stats

Worth rooting and using xposed?

Seeing some threads seems like root is not stable yet. Can people share their experiences on if it is worth rooting the s7 edge and what are the pros/cons u notice after rooting and running xposed. Example - significant increase in battery life.
Debating if I should root or not. So far getting 4 hours of average SOT.
Thanks

Root for g935 IS NOT stable and the Engineering boot is ment for the repair of software issues. Most users find that the con of poor stability outweighs the desire to root the device. However. If you happen to not like the AT&T or rom of your carrier you can install the Samsung branded unlocked device firmware (G935U). The stability of stock for me is key, and until I get a rom like Cyanogen or similar custom rom and unlocked bootloader I'm personally not changing a thing about this phone. I love it! Though I am following the development, pretty closely at that.
Hope this is useful mate, cheers.

Honesty not worth it, I had it for about 1 week and random soft bricks started to happen, extreme lag, and many components becoming broken.
You should wait for a more stable root.

I'm just itching for a reason. I've been checking these forums incessantly (came from nexus 6) to see when root would be achieved at which point I'd make the switch. Loving this device, but am excited to get into flashing roms in the future. For now, I can wait.

I'm rooted, and aside from when unlocking my phone, I don't notice any measurable lag.
Smooth sailing with xposed as well.
IMHO, just take it for a test drive when you get a chance, and see how ya like it.

Ive been rooted for almost a month now. Using this Method :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
If you root and use the DeBloat and Performance .Zip included in the OP it should work just fine. The only issues ive found to happen are when I installed the Xposed Framework. For some reason the libraries in Xposed dont agree with the Eng Boot. That being said once i rooted and ran the debloat and performance fix zip ive been running great so far. ive managed 14 and a half hours of steady, stable use with about 53 percent battery left at the end of the day.

I had Xposed installed for a week or so. Not sure if it was the modules I had or what, but it killed my battery life quickly. I wiped my phone, flashed stock, updated to new PG1 Fw, then rerooted. Since not having Xposed, my battery life has been phenomenally better. Just my experience.

How did you manage to install Xposed with FlashFire?

I've been using 935 U that used to be a 935 A ROOTED , flashed exposed with flash fire and enjoy a ton of fun modules , I finally have embraced my s7 into my heart, and if a new ota comes out for 935 U I can odin flash back then take the update , I will say adaway youtube , and background playback alone are worth it , many other great mods working with this as well, lag go's away after a few minutes and I have to sign in to my wi-fi after each reboot, first thing I did post root was freeze security agent log with TIBU.

I ran fixes prior to Xposed. Everything was working, it just seemed like my battery would get eaten up quickly.

I will agree battery was up and down when exposed was installed, but 98% of modules ran flawlessly , anyone know when an ota update may be coming to 935-U?

I came here to say basically this. My phone is totally stable and fast. As far as the wifi password issue mentioned, refer to this post for the fix:

Make sure to thank the poster!
My battery life is also great. Standby drain is better than any phone I've had. I get just under 1% an hour with AOD ON. Best I've ever managed before was 1% per hour, I could never break it until this phone with root.

what other good roms are okay with the ATT variant. I am getting big time android usage.

if you don't mind missing root, and other AT&T perks like VoLTE,...etc., flash 935U firmware.

Is that the only one? No note 7 ports?

At the mean time, AFAIK, the only international version has an unlocked bootloader for custom roms.

S7 Edge G935F Nougat serious problem. Please Help !

Hello Community,
im from Germany, so don't judge me if my english skills are not that good.
So here is my problem.
I couldnt wait for the new nougat update. I decided to flash the beta 3 i guess with odin. Everything has gone right, the battery life was perfect, the performance great, everything was really smooth until i tried to get twrp on it. Ive got an endless bootloop. I flashed nougat again and everything was great. However now my battery life is the worst. I charged it to 70% it dropped down to 5% in like 3,5 hours ? I have nothing installed except whatsapp and the XDA App. I deactivated facebook, galaxy store and every bloatware.
It took about 2 hours to get from 5% to 32% with the fast charge enabled. When disabled it took longer.
i have wiped the cache section and nothing helped. I wiped all data and installed my backup from smart switch ive done befor i wiped everything.
Please i need help, im afraid that i broke my battery.

I dont think you have made it kapput. Flash the stock firmware back and see if the problem is solved. Beta versions of software usually come with bugs, sometimes many , some times a few. I remember when lollipop just came out, i installed on my droid rarz and i hard a simarly problem to you. I just flashed my stock ROM back and every returned to normal

The Problem is, i did not have the problem when i flashed it first. But the second or third time ruined something i guess.
I dont want the stock marshmallow rom back to be honest.

Just try and see if the problem still persist. I think that's the only way you can find out if its the rom or u breaked your phone

i say it again, i did go back on the stock. And yes, the battery life was kinda better. And then i flashed nougat back. The problem is, why is the android system draining so much with 30% for the total battery consumption.

Ohhh.if it got besser that simply means there seem to be a lot of background activity with the nougat

Considering unlocking and all that. Recommendations?

So, I've had this phone since shortly after launch. I came from a pixel 2 XL after one of my middle school students broke it. I pretty regularly ran custom roms or just a couple modules and root apps here and there. I know you lose fingerprint sensor by installing custom roms, just curious as to what everyone else did? I assume the procedures are all still the same as the pixel 2.

I unlocked yesterday, root and installed a kernel and run OOS Stock Rom. You should do that, if you don't want to loose the FP. Probably I would be trying some ROMs, but not now. I come from a OP3 with Custom ROM.

There's 2 roms we have here that have the fingerprint sensor working, because they're actually Magisk modules that run on top of OOS. Revovation Ice (Only works with stable OOS) and XXX No Limits (works with stable and beta, you can find this one in the OnePlus 6 forum). I'm using Renovation Ice right now, I love it!

Sweet. I actually tried Friday 2 and still have it and it did not go well. Could not figure out what gapps to download, seems like everyone I picked was the wrong one. Had to learn how to put this phone back to stock and was freaking out. Nandroid backup didn't work. Every time I hit reboot system it would put me right back to the same spot, except it was TWRP encrypted, wouldn't reboot. Ended up having to figure out how to get it back to stock and haven't tried it again yet.

Why are you trying to install Gapps? The stock OOS already has them. Renovate Ice runs on top of the stock ROM. Back to Stock is as simple as flashing the latest ROM even with a factory reset(complete wipe). Set up as normal after flashing, then flash Twrp. Install Magisk if you want Root then Renovate Ice. There are guides on how to do all of this.

Havoc rom required then according to the directions. That's the too I tried Friday night. It was a rough night.

Phone corrupt? Simple fix actually. Download the MSM Download Tool, it's here on XDA in the Guides section for some reason. There's the T-Mobile version of the tool if you bought your device from T-Mobile, and the global version of the tool (two separate threads on here) that will reflash the device if you bought from OnePlus directly. Shoot me a message if you need some help, I don't mind at all! [emoji1]
EDIT: Note that this tool formats your device COMPLETELY. You'll lose all your pics and files, but it cleanly installs OOS for you and relocks your bootloader as well.

Well, basically the MSM tool doesn't go through your bootloader. This device has a Qualcomm download mode built in that's an even lower level mode than the bootloader. The MSM tool can restore your device even if it's TOAST (for example, corrupted bootloader or just can't boot to it.). It's easier that fastboot as well! It's a perk of having a OnePlus for sure!
