Charging anomaly / Ghost recovery mode? - Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers

Summary: Charged phone from a power bank, now it won't charge anymore.
My mother charged the phone from some power bank from a friend, as she describes it "it charged very fast and it was very hot". Then it also drained pretty quickly. Now when connecting the original cable and charger from a power outlet it won't charge, nothing shows up (even after 1 hour).
- the power button doesn't do anything, recovery mode won't work either, not even launching in safe mode
- the cable and charger work perfectly (they tested with the other p10 lite phone they got in the house)
- after connecting the cable, not even the led light won't turn on
Here is the strange part.
RANDOMLY ! It will boot up itself into recovery suggesting to update it, after they hit update, they connect successfully to the house Wifi, it will say something like "package information failed to gather". Other options are wipe/factory reset, reboot, shutdown.
Now, I guess I'll try a wipe/factory reset next time it goes into recovery by itself, it happens randomly, can't be done manually since the power button doesn't do anything.
I told them to connect it to the laptop, to which the phone is showing the Huawei logo for a while, then it disappears. But after many tries, we got it to somehow connect with "fast boot" and I managed to take this screenshot.

}
I then installed Hisuite and tried to connect to their recovery thing, but this device isn't supported for that.
Some final thoughts, I am still confused as to what the actual issue is, or if there is more than 1 issue.
- the port might be fried from the power bank, but then it still works sometimes, just it doesn't actually charge
- the power button doesn't do anything, maybe because the phone is on 0 battery
- the phone data is corrupted somehow and it won't load the OS, because after connecting to the PC instead of finish loading the OS (after the huawei logo) the logo disappears and nothing happens.
I'm hella confused about this situation. I also told them to use a toothbrush to clean the usb port, still no results.
Any suggestions?

My 8525 keeps shutting down by its self

When I turn it on, it stays for a while and shuts down
same thing happens over and over
Does anyone have an idea about this problem?
We need more detail.
How long is a "while"
Does it always do this or is it random behaviour?
Is the battery fully charged?
Have you tried soft / hard resets?
Does the device go completely off or is it just the screen that goes off? (i;e; when you switch the device back on, do you need a long press on the power button or just a quick press?)
Mike
it shuts down completely(i need a long press to turn it back on)
sometimes it stays for 5 minutes sometimes 20 minutes
and the battery is fully charged

OK, it sounds like you have the poor battery contacts problem. To be sure, you can do a hard reset to rule out any software issues. If you have no backup program installed then you will lose anything you have installed to the phone however.
So you could go straight to a simple fix for this problem. That is a strip of card to push the battery more firmly against the gold connectors. First make sure the connectors are all clean:

}
In some rarer cases the connector block with all the gold contacts has actually become partially detached from the board - perhaps a hairline crack in the soldered contacts. Hopefully yours does not have this problem though.

[SOLVED] 2012 N7 won't turn on after bootloader/recovery mode error.

My N7 did the OTA 4.4 update without a hitch and performed without issue afterwards. Finally having some spare time today, I decided to root it. I've been rooting the device since I bought it so this was not going to be a new exercise for me. I went to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531000
and downloaded the zip and copied it to Internal Storage. I tried to reboot into Recovery but managed to drop myself into the bootloader. Instead of powering off I selected Recovery Mode and after a few seconds the screen changed to the green android robot lying on its back with its front hatch open, a triangle with an exclamation mark inside it and the text "missing command". Figuring that I'd blundered into a dead end analagous to a BSOD on a desktop, I tried to power off the tablet but it wouldn't respond to the power button. I popped off the cover and unplugged the battery.
I let it sit unplugged for a short while and then reconnected it. Now the tablet does not respond to the power button. I can't turn it on.
I've been Googling this but all I've found is posts meant for people with charging issues. My tablet did have that issue but I fixed it long ago and it never returned. I've been trying the methods in those various posts just to see if they might work. So far, no joy. The battery was at 60% when this happened.
The tablet has performed beautifully until now. I'm having great trouble believing that the error plus unplugging the battery has bricked it. I've plugged it into the charger and plan to keep trying the various starting methods. Any suggestions or insights into what has happened would be appreciated.
[edit] The charging animation does not appear after plugging in the tablet. I've checked and re-checked the battery connector and it is completely inserted and snug.
[edit 2] I connected the tablet to my desktop to see what happened. Normally when I do this with the tablet off it just charges and nothing else happens. This time, the pc spent some time thinking before giving an error chime and the following messages. I hope it provides an important clue...

The problem is resolved. I'm not sure why, but here's what happened.
I managed to borrow another 2012 Nexus 7 from a co-worker. On a whim, I removed their battery and connected it to my N7. The tablet started up normally. I then connected my battery to their N7. It, too, started normally. I restored my battery to my unit and pressed the power button. It started normally.
I have no idea why the tablet is working now but I'm grateful that it is. The lesson that might be drawn from this is to not be hesitant to swap components in a malfunctioning tablet, even if you don't envision the swap as being relevent or productive. In my case, it seems to have given the tablet the kick in the pants that it needed to get moving again. :good:

Ultra fast battery drain problem

Hi,
So my phone started to act weird while being charged (it was for about month), when battery hit 9, 14, 27, 44 and something near 80 and 90 [%] it acted like cable didn't connect and always at these levels, but I didn't care as long as it charged. I've tried to maintain battery levels between 20-90% (said the most healthy for Li-po batteries) and charge it only via original charger (original cable mostly, then not cheap 2.4 A cable).
Yet, yesterday happend sad thing.
I've plugged my phone as always after hard day at 6% charged and after 30 mins BOOM! 100%! (impossible). I was shocked and couldn't believe it so I did restart it without unplugging it from charger; my phone did reboot but didn't turn on, I've unplugged it, tried again - it's on with 56%, so I think it's ok let's leave it at this level but my phone though differently - every second my battery was drained for 1%.
Since then, whenever I turn on my phone it loses battery like that; while turned off and plugged in it behaves like cable is broken (disconnect and connect) yet displays 0% and random value (75%, 84%, 91%). Sometimes when I turn it on it displays SD card error but it's totally random.
I've managed to take this SS, hope someone knows if it is battery issue or motherboard.

Do a clean/fastboot flash and see if the problem persists.
It did help, but charging problem remains, with these magic steps where cable looks like it's disconnecting.
Thanks for your answer and sorry for delayed reply.

Try another cable maybe, or charge your phone switched off or from pc/laptop/powerbank.

As I mentioned, I've checked every charging option available, yet this problem still occurs, I've flashed global 9.5.1.0 Stable via fastboot without any problems, so I guess it's not USB port problem, yet I couldn't check if it was charging/discharging battery in this mode.
P.S. Yes, I've checked in stock recovery and on turned off phone and I must sadly admit that it still disconnects/connects during charging like it was bad cable.

Phone Temperature Low. Cannot Charge.

I have a Nokia 6 device having android version 8.1 (Oreo).
My phone is charging very slowly. Previously it displayed "Charging rapidly" but now it almost takes 8 hours to fully charge.
Also, every time I am getting this weird warning message on my screen that "The phone is at a low temperature, so it will not be charged" and it is frustrating. Is it anything related to battery issue? As I've used another charger and I have found that the case is similar with every other charger.

Also, I am unable to connect my phone to PC. I don't get an option to select any other option and by default, it's in charging mode. In the Connected Devices settings, the USB option is disabled. I've tried putting the USB debugging mode ON, but the problem is the same.
Try an hard reset,and see if the problem persist,if yes,then send your phone to local service for further investigation (if you have waranty there will be zero costs)

The reason your phone does this is a misbehaving sensor. If it is really cold / hot, you battery will get hurt. So the phone tries to minimize the load until the temperature normalizes. Afaik, it starts throttling at 10C

UIS8141E based head unit, L818_168-Ver_K5 motherboard problem.

Hello,
First of all, thank you for taking your time and reading my post.
Recently I purchased the android head unit for my car. During the installation process, I quickly connected the cables to test the unit before mounting it. The unit turned on and booted without a problem, but the screen was upside down, so in order to mount it, I had to rotate the screen. I disconnected the screen cable and the digitizer cable, rotated the screen and reconnected the cables. After testing the unit again, there was no display! The backlight was randomly flashing and I was even able to hear the radio. So the unit was turned on, I had a problem with display. I made a mistake: I didn't take a photos of screen connectors, so I think I incorrectly connected these cables. After several attempt, I pressed the RST button for a while. I thought I was a software problem and pressing the RST button would RESTART the device. But after pressing the RST button, the unit is dead. It doesn't turn on, anymore., the screen is black, no backlight. When connecting power cable, the LED lamp near the CPU is turned off. I tried to connect it to the PC using a USB cable. When I connected it, nothing happened, no new device was detected on PC. I checked the fuse and it is OK. I also recognized some testing points on the motherboard and these points appear to have correct voltage, 3,3v and 5v.
However, the LED_VCC is 0 and LED+ has 0 voltage.
I haven't flashed any custom firmware. Is there any chance to recover the device? Maybe I need to follow some instructions after pressing the RST button?
I've attached some photos of the device.
The CPU is: UIS8141E,
4GB RAM, 32 GB ROM.
It should have android 12, however I didn't have a chance to properly identify the OS.
