Hello guys
I was on b14 custom stock rom,i had no problems at all.
Upgraded to dotos oreo with the required bootstack and modem and stuff with oki twrp labs.
But my battery acts weird after that.When it reach 35% it can drop to 27% in 20 seconds and than stay on 27% for like 5 or 10 minutes,then it drops from 26% to 19% in 10 or 20 seconds,and again it stays at 19% for a couple of minutes.Then when i shut down my phone and try to turn it on,it says i need to charge my device and it turns off again.Then i try to boot in twrp,and that succees,when in twrp it shows battery 0% but the phone keep remaining on.
Also when i put on charger,it charge that same amount of lost,like 10%,in 10 seconds.
But when ther is no OS installed(all partitions wiped) and i boot in twrp,adn put it on charger...it charges fine,no big gapps.
When there is a OS installed and it drops less than 30%,this acting happens again
I did calibrations,clean flashes,all i could.
Note that this happend when i switched to dotos,so it cant be bad battery,because 10 minutes earlier everything was fine.
Can the problem be on EFS,Persist Partition? if yes,how can i solve this? Can the problem be in the sys folder? I do think some of these 3 has to do with it
I think it got vendor/system problems.Sometimes it also dont boot the system,or random bootloops
I did full EDL flash ( G oreo b02),booted and set up.
Now i flashed twrp treble nfound,wiped all partitions,and did edl vendor flash.I booted twrp and it tells my data is encrypted,i went to wipe,selected data partition...and it says the partition is emmc,also the same on system partition...how is this possible? Ofcourse i know how to get back to ext4,but i want to know why now it says emmc.Also before i booted because of vendor flash,battery was 22%.When i did the flash and booted in twrp the battry was 26%.
Definattely ( lol bad english in text) something wrong here,instead of the easy claims they say the battery is bad
I have had the same problem. Performed EDL Nougat B12 stock via EDL. Now no more isssues with battery. I am on 2017G.
doesnt work for me,this acting only happens when a rom(OS) is installed.
With all partitions wiped,i can charge fine in twrp.
My battery was on 100%,i did full wipe,rebooted in twrp (stil 100%) and flashed dotos+gapps+kernel.After the flashing battery sit on 96%.
Not good,something wrong
Now it drained from 30% to 18% in 1 minute,and now its stuck on 18% for 10minutes+ or longer.
If I put on charger now,it charge the same amount I lost in that minute , in like 2minutes or less
Don't know what is going on here
@Predatorhaze: Are you absolutely sure that your battery isn't going bad? I ran the same setup as you for a few days, I got none of the behavior you've described. It's normal for TWRP to sometimes show 50%, just ignore it. I've seen this in every TWRP build I've tried on my A7, regardless of installed ROM, bootstack, etc.
If you go back to stock does this behavior stop?
Another thing, I ditched DotOS because it can only be rooted with Magisk, and I have an intense dislike of Magisk. And I have an A2017U, whereas you have a G. Not sure how much difference that would make.

that 50% is just a bug.everyone got this.
And this happened when i switch to dotos.1 hour before that everything was fine.
So you believe a battery can be broken due the flashing? it happened on los uni bootstack oki twrp dotos and swifty kernel.
now my phone connected to pc on usb,phone is turned on,stays on and battery says 0% hahaha ,this is getting funny
what does this do? Button to disable the eMMC write protection (disemmcwp)
i have read this somewehre :
Now I'm not saying that's what's happening, but I noticed these phones get really hot flashing deodexed roms. And just wondering if this could be a possibility, that the emmc chips are getting hot and breaking solder points.
My battery can act weird when i use intense gpu resources (heavy videogame)
@Predatorhaze: No, I don't think flashing will break a battery. What I was trying to say is that your battery might have been slowly going bad even before you flashed DotOS. Batteries generally don't fail overnight, it takes time. Unfortunately I have no way for you to test further so you will have to look into this on your own. How old is the phone? The longer you have had it, the more likely that the battery needs to be replaced.

Phone 1 year old.My battery wasn't going bad,it happen direct when I flashed dotos.(botstack+patch splash screen)
I'm on los14 and it looks like the problem is gone.Or not,at least it got a little better
I think its related to vendor,cus i have many times issues with vendor partition for example in deleting and creating.Once, i deleted the vendor partition,rebooted twrp and the vendor was gone.I installed other twrp,boot it,and the vendor was back/still ther.
Also when all partitions are wiped,it charge normal...all ok
In accub,it's still 2800mah...but sometimes it show 3600mah.How more cycles i charge,how higher the estimated mah goes up
By the way,i NEVER charge at night ( while sleep),also never drop it less than 10%
Somethign screwd up my battery,maybe some solder point on motherboard
Where is this folder for? vendor/lib64/.... ( note that i have not a vendor partition active) can i delete it?
@Predatorhaze: I would suggest clean flashing the earliest stock Nougat EDL you can find for A2017G (B19 for A2017U, but that wont work for you). Then unlock bootloader again (if necessary), reinstall TWRP, and try your tests again. I have often found that flashing a stock EDL fixes many issues I previously encountered. I prefer Nougat because it is more stable (for me) than Oreo/Pie. B32 is the baseline EDL package that I use.
Try to avoid flashing other bootstacks/modems unless you absolutely have to (like LOS bootstack). B32 bootstack boots all AOSP/LOS Nougat ROMs, and can also boot any Oreo ROM as long as it isnt based on Treble and doesnt have a vendor partition. Of course with N bootstack there will be issues with dual SIM and camera 2 API/HDR, but I dont use those, so no issues there. And B32 bootstack doesnt have the system partition read-only issue. All stock bootstacks based on B35 and higher seem to have this last issue, LOS bootstacks dont but then there is no EDL with the hardware buttons.
And before I forget, dont try to use @Oki's custom TWRP with an N bootstack, it probably wont work (didnt for me when I tried it once). Stick to official TWRP, or @NFound's TWRP 3.2.1-7.

I'm on nuclearom,problem look gone.4 hours sot,could be 6 probably.Also didn't notice any weird drain.Thanks.
I think it was due vendor partition issues,or the vendor has a bug.
I can remember it took months they find out the headphone jack CPU bug,after many complains..so I would not look weird if they find a bug in vendor...

Hey guys, i have been owning this piece of great phone for almost two years. But it never gave me a big issue.
Nevertheless, few months back i flashed cm12 and it worked great too.. I had been using it gracefully till i decided to update to cm12.1. So i decided to update, but the update always crashed google play services. The update did not happen automatically so i had to flash the zip through custom recovery (already installed) by myself.
I could not come out of that so i went ahead and did a full wipe and flashed cm12.1 along with gapps. Since then when i am unplugged it goes only to about few minutes (on battery) and shuts down. So, i now decided that this piece of update is buggy and did a full wipe and reflashed the original cm12 zip and gapps which i had placed in the first place. But, to my horror even this time it could not go past the bootscreen even and turns itself off when its about to start up. (Battery is full charged, did an overnight charge as well).One very unusual thing i noticed that almost all the the time i try to power it on it showed me "optimising app X of Y" which is weird. This kinda happens only on first boot.
But if i keep my phone plugged in to ac charge then it works fine.. but only last night it hanged and turned off even on charge. So there i decided that the cm thing is not for me. So i followed this tutorial and flashed the stock 5.1.1 rom (did a full wipe, tried oem lock and re unlocked and proceeded too).
But, i find the same problem same issue!! When unplugged my device, it just turns off even on full battery charge.
Can someone explain me the technical parts of the issue and what has gone wrong and how it can be fixed?
Please, Thanks
EDIT
Last time i locked - unlocked bootloader and proceeded with a fresh factory image flash, the device turned off on boot even when plugged in to my mac and it's hot on the back side
Sounds to me like there''s something physically wrong with the phone, probably the battery. Time for a new one anyway. Lithium batteries degrade with use. After ~500 charge cycles it'll have lost upwards of 20% of its original capacity and might show other signs of wearing out like inconsistent voltages. After 2 years of use, you'll be well beyond 500 cycles. A new battery off eBay is pretty cheap, and some sellers include the needed tools.Go to ifixit.com for a tear-down guide. A hair drier can help soften up the adhesive. The fact that it turned off despite being plugged in to your computer also points to the battery being toast - the USB amperage from a computer is less than the typical wall charger.
If it's not the battery giving you woes, I don't know what it could be.
And FYI, the whole "optimizing app" thing is the OS rebuilding the cache. When you flash your GAPPs package or a zipped Titanium backup it has to build the cache for the new apps. Same as when you do the "wipe Dalvik and cache" part of standard flashing procedure to avoid conflicts. In order for apps to load quickly, Android stores a lot of the necessary data in cache, so when you clear it or have new apps, it has to rebuild the cache. On Lollipop this takes a loooooooong time because of the way ART works.

How can i be completely sure that it's the battery which needs to be replaced? The battery shows charge. When i plug in and boot up it shows enough battery power left.
Currently, without external power it does not go past the google screen on boot. When i plug in power while device is off, the battery meter shows just a little depletion from full charge. When turned on, battery level is 82 %
After all , all this hardware mess up can be the consequence of a bad cm flash ?

I know this. Earlier it was happening on each boot. Now it seemed to be stopped.
By any chance did you have your phone charging while flashing and booting up your ROM?

Exactly same problem is started with my Nexus 4 ... I really wonder, what is causing this. Meanwhile, have it sorted for you ? is that hardware (Battery) issue?

I too am facing kinda similar problem.
It first started on my stock Lollipop 5.1.1. I had kept it on charge and when I removed it, it got switched off. Thinking that it might be just another of the multitude of bugs in Lollipop, since I already had lots of problems with it, I decided to flash CM 12.1 Stable on it.
Unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP recovery, created a backup (using TWRP), wiped data, cache, dalvik and started installing CM 12.1. Now comes the problem, I selected 'restart system' and it did restart and CyanogenMod logo was displayed for few minutes before the phone crashed. I switched it on again normally and the Google logo got displayed, and then again phone got off just after the Google logo. I tried flashing again by same procedure, but this time not even the Cyanogen logo was displayed. The Google logo got displayed and the went off.
Then I decided to restore the backup. Restored it but it still had the same problem at the startup Google logo.
Now I have managed to install CM 12.1, which works fine unless I don't open certain apps. When I open certain apps like Phone or Clock (those are some I have tried yet), it crashes the system.
This maybe a hardware or software problem, but pretty sure it isn't battery problem, coz it retains good charge when I switch it back on after crash.

Since you already unlocked the bootloader, and therefore already wiped everything, you could try flashing a factory image.
I also got the same problem. I thought this is battery problem, so I replaced the battery but problem still there. I thought this is problem of lollipop, never installed CM or anything. It is always running stock android. After that I even downgrade to Kitkat stock version still it is not working. One more thing I noticed is If I don't unlock the device than it will be powered on, but as soon as I unlock it and if it is not plugged in to charger it will be switched off. Any suggestion what should I do?
I have the same thing for several month now.
Always thought it is the dying battery.

Just tried flashing Lollipop 5.1.1 (LMY48I) factory image. The same problem still exists. Faced few weird problems on running the first time. Following scenarios explains it exactly...
Not On Charge: Crashes after startup Google logo
Connected to Laptop (USB Charge): Crashes a few minutess after entering "Optimizing apps" screen
On Charger (AC): Completed the install (optimizing apps and setup) without problems
Now I can access the home screen and menu without problems. But when I start any app, phone will go off. Not just apps, at times even when the recent apps menu is opened.

When you flashed the factory image did you do it via fastboot or by flashing a zip file. If you used the zip file I would suggest you do it with fastboot.

By "flashing zip" you mean using "fastboot update" command? ...If so, nope I didnt. I extracted all compressed files and then flashed each of the img's using fastboot. Flashed a total of 6 img files.

I m too facing the similar issues. Phone is getting turned off suddenly when not charging, on charging it is working fine. i have done factory reset and also done factory image reset to 5.1.0. i m still facing the same issues. I don't think so it is related to battery. if anyone have the solution then please let me know.

Try the very basic flash technique by double clicking the flash-all.bat. It's not the same as flashing the imgs one by one.
Battery is the issue. Get it changed. I also faced same problem, and visited LG service center and they changed the battery. Phone working fine now.

Ok so Battery was the problem!! Got it changed, phone working fine now. Thanx all!
Ok guys i confirm that this is a battery issue. I took it to the service center and the guy temporarily replaced battery to show me issue solved... But... there i saw another issue due to which i did not buy the battery. I saw half the touchscreen not working (including the navigation buttons ). The guy at the center told its a h/w issue and i would have to spend 7K on it so i left my phone dead for now. The Question is ... can this be a s/w issue.. or result of bad flash which can solve on reflashing ??
same problem with my nexus ,but one thing i noticed that the phone does not power off while in recovery...Any idea??
This is the problem that I have with my LePro3 (Int. version). Any help from custom rom developers is welcome, so @darkobas, @villarleg, @mosimchah, @GalaticStryder or anyone that has any idea.
Sumary:
- With any custom rom the device reboots randomly.
- Sometimes it last minutes or hours.
- There is no pattern to reproduce the problem, so I can't give a way to reproduce it.
- Mostly it happens when the device is in deep sleep, but I get some reboots when I was using it.
- It doesn't reboot to system, it reboots to EDL (Emergency mode, aka 9008 mode).
- If it stays in this mode, the battery dies and I need to charge it for ours.
- As its random, I can't get any logcat of what is happening when it reboots.
- If I flash the stock rom or any rom that has stock as base, all works without problem.
Tests done:
- If the custom rom was installed using recovery, I always follow these steps: Wipe /system, /cache and /data using normal wipe or reformating with ext4. All clean installs.
- Roms tested: Paranoid Android, AICP, OmniRom and Resurection Remix. Same problem with all of them.
- To repartition the device I used the QFIL file to low level reflash. Doesn't fix anything. Tested with the same roms before and after and same results.
- While charging it seems that it doesn't reboot.
- Tested with several chargers.
- Tested with TWRP 3.0.3 and 3.1.x (last one).
- I have a backup of OmniRom that mostly works. It reboots to edl once a week, but has other strange problems (sometimes when I have a call, the battery that has > than 30% goes to 3% and switch off the phone, when I restart it has again the real battery).
Resume:
- It's not a harware problem, because is stock roms there is no any problem
- Maybe related with DeepSleep, but not sure.
- Only with custom roms (maybe all of them has the same change that makes my device reboot??)
- QFIL reflash doesn't fix anything.
So, like I said, I'm a tech boy and know how to modify roms, flash qfil and make device folder to build a rom (you can see my posts here). But in this case I'm totally lost. I don't get any clue of what is happening or how could I fix this. So any test, clue, crazy idea or anything that let me install a custom rom, is welcome.
Thanks.
X720? Isn't it any rare version like Elite X722?
* Last time on AICP i had 2 or 3 freezes, but it seems like last 2 builds versions with trouble exc. yesterday patch.
That's correct, X720.
Make sure you're on the 23s firmware
Sent from my LEX727 using XDA Labs
Yes, when I started with this problems, I flashed qfil (20 or 21, I think). And have problems with charge, so I reflashed 23s and 26s. Right now I'm in a modified 26s and works ok. But like I said I can only use stock images
Your AICP was the one that last longer... like 5 o 6 hours and then the fu** reboots again. Paranoid Android lasted like 3 minutes . But it's totally random
Idk why you rushed on US, when CN version is easy flashable (i did guide) with official ROM (from webpage) and stock recovery (somewhere). Maybe some of your files are still wrong?
** I think, better way was flash from 21s to 19s (unlock bootloader) then flash 23s CN and 26s.

I'm almost sure that all the stock versions I tested were CN not US. Anyway, all of them doesn't reboot as the custom ones.
The files should be OK, because if they are not, the recovery will show a message.
Did you ever do a full wipe via fastboot? I once messed up my storage while experimenting, and this was the only method that did the trick. Then fastboot 23s firmware files, twrp as recovery and from there give some custom a try? Are you encrypted?

No, I didn't try with fastboot, but I try with qfil that is a low level format and I get the same result
And no, I'm not encrypted.
Anyway, yesterday I was charging it and it reboots again with the stock rom, so seems a problem with hardware. I asked for a RMA where I bought it.

Did you ever find out what was the problem? I have the same problems on my x720 bought in november 2017. Since first boot to stock rom, i have these problems. The phone randomly reboots into edl mode and you have to press the power button for about 10sec to reboot normally. Sometimes it makes a warm start. On stock or stock based roms, it reboots more often normally than switching off to edl. But I was not able to find out the problem until now. If I am shaking my phone like a bartender is mixing a cocktail, it feels that there is something loose inside. I think its the battery, based on the weight of the moving object inside the phone. But the phone remains on when shaking... It also happens, that the phone reboots to edl and after rebooting, some configurations were lost and resetted to default, this happens on ResurrectionRemix. On RR it happens another time, that after rebooting to edl and trying to reboot normally, the booting process never ends - reflashing the ROM was the only option. When using the phone a lot (browser, games, facebook, email etc at same time) this strange behaviour happens more often in my oppinion.
So I'm still not sure of a hardware issue..
Okay, so usually I'm quite savvy when it comes to technology, but this one's stumping me.
Yesterday afternoon, I turned my phone off to go into work. It was working quite normally before then. When I get on break, however, I find that my phone won't get past the main logo. I figure that my phone needs a reflash, so today I went to reflash the xXx rom. Still no luck. I tried flashing stock OOS Beta 3, but then my phone went into a recovery bootloop. I tried flashing those two roms several times, but now my phone just stays in a recovery bootloop.
I'm pretty sure this isn't software-related, but I want to be wrong. That's why I'm posting here first, just in case it isn't.
I didn't do anything for it to go into a bootloop, I just turned it off after a normal day, and now it won't turn back on.
If you are decrypted you need to flash the no verify zip for OOS to boot up. With xXx anything from the version of Magisk used to one of the mods you chose in the aroma installer can cause problems. Your best bet is to boot into TWRP, format the data on your phone using the option in the wipe tab, connect your phone to a computer--it will be recognized like an external harddrive--copy and paste a full ROM zip for stock OOS Oreo onto your phone and then flash it with TWRP. Also make sure you are using one of the recommended versions of TWRP for OOS Oreo. The best version right now is the one from Codeworks. Good luck.
For no reason my phone just restarted. It used to restart from time to time and all was fine but this time its in bootloop. I currently don't have any recovery installed on it but I can enter in download mode. Is there any way to fix it without losing any data? I have some pretty valuable stuff that I can't really afford to lose
Its the LTE version and its running stock kitkat
I had different roms before but in the end I came back to this as everything else had bugs and wasn't stable
Also lately my battery life went to ****. From an average of 5hours SOT I can barely have a bit over 2 hours, sometimes not even 2. And I changed the battery with a new one and still no change. For some reason bellow screen I have android system as 2nd main consumer but I have no idea what could be using it. Could it be hardware??
Suggest flash custom recovery via Odin if you have no backup .
You may then be able to recover data .
My Zte axon 7 for last few days has been mostly stuck on a red led for until the battery dies then I plug it in and it boots normal and functions good for 20 mins until it freezes with a red led and I have to do it all over again. I was in TWRP running linage os and it still froze in TWRP which I was suprised. Has anyone else had this issue because I'm not finding much on the internet for it.

Also vendor partition issues,other time on boot its gone,other time in reboot its back
calibration issues also here that i noticed,what more users have but not aware about
Have you found a work around for this to prevent it from happening or to make it work longer. I do not know what causes it. I hesitate to format cause I got some pictures. But I will if it comes to it.

Try to flash latest official twrp trough fastboot or edl.If it worked boot in twrp and try to backup your photos to PC/laptop.
Then I advice you start over.Also delete the vendor partitions.
Please report back here when the twrp flash and backup to pc succeeded

I will try doing this, unfortantly luck isn't on my side for this. In short I did this process 1 year ago forgetting how to do it, as well as I am now on windows 8.1 (previous Wind 7) and the drivers are very hard to get working as when the phone previously worked it would be hard to get it to detect the phpne using Usb 2.0. Just send me a tut on how to flash Lastest version of TWRP and ill do it. Also how do I clear the Vendor partions? I mainly had the intention to set this phpne up once and never come back to all this so thats why I have nothing ready for this.
Also what if it freezes while i'm usimg TWRP? I had that happen to me before

Ok what i'm going to do is erase the entire device, flash TWRP then the default Rom and see if it still happens.

u mean stock rom? what i did was ersing everything,also the vendor partition.I rebooted sometimes in twrp to make sure everything is gone and all partitions are on default size.And im glad i did this because the vendor partition showed up again after some reboot in twrp.
Then i installed everything for los14.1 (bootstack and modem) and flashed nuclearom (all default).Ive run some cycles on that and my problems were all solved.Battery calibration was also normal and good
Same issue, more details, with year old B32 system
Just want to add, having same issue. When phone is unplugged, battery starts draining quickly, in fifteen minutes reaching 70%. IF it reaches that far. Usually, battery just jumps from any % to 0! and shuts off, even from 100% charge sometimes, and can't restart phone until I plug it in. When plugged in, it shows wherever it shut down, for example if it shut down at 76% on charging it shows 76%.
Looking at posts above, I wiped everything, including data and media, did a complete reflash to B32 stock image by DrakenFX that I did literally a year ago. STILL same issue remains, battery starts discharging very quickly, then from 95% skips to 0! and shuts off.
Hope this is helpful to anyone dealing with this issue.

that must be your battery. Install Ampere, and disconnect the phone while it is at 100%. See how much voltage it reports. If it says it's at ~95% and has less than 4.3V then it's definitely just a very bad battery with high internal resistance, this causes it to drop voltage easily once a load is applied, and the phone detects the low voltage and shuts off to prevent bad stuff from happening
Does the phone look like it's warped somewhere? Your battery might be bloating
