However, it might also be the battery, i have two batteries, one is the one that came with the Prophet and one is a cheap battery i ordered from Dealextreme.
I do know that the cheap battery is dead, but the other one (I did some testing with it, it shows up at 1.4V at my multimeter) i'm not sure if it is dead.
The phone has been like this before:
It randomly worked, randomly turned off, it wouldn't work for like 10 days, then when i put the battery in again it worked.
It kept doing that until it died completely.
Any suggestions?

I can't understand on photo. A battery pin is broken? If the problem is broken pin, a watchseller or jeweler can fix it. They have the right equipment to work with small things

You think they will fix this?

I would try to get a new (third) cheap battery.
Or try to re-animate the cheap one (dangerous, forbidden, but works often for me: open battery casing, unsolder LiIon-Cell, reload with Lab power supply to around 3-3.8 V (never > 4.2V!!!!), resolder, put in Prophete, start charging....)
The pins look ok. 1.4V for LiIon is below the deadly shutdown value!

OK, maybe my answer is a bit late...

I think my battery is fake. I need a bit of Help from you guys

Okay, this is a new battery that I got after my original battery was swollen.
I think this battery is fake due to many reasons. Sometimes it automatically charge itself and battery percentage increases to 5-10%.
It lasts very less and etc etc.
When I type *#0228# on dialpad I get this:

Here's mine, it looks different.

Mine looks like the fake one as well

Try NFC. This feature doesn't work on many fakes.

this isn't sudden death.
It's a faulty battery.
Take it out of the phone, is it swollen in the middle??

This is a known fault and Samsung have already said they would replace battery for free.
Give them a call and tell them.
I think the serial number on the bad batch of batteries starts with BD but it might not be limited to those.
Good luck

btw toke me a while to find the manufactor( https://www.awinic.com/Public/Uploads/uploadfile2/files/20200515/20200515145039_5ebe3bbf4b71e.pdf) of this ic but i want to know if there is something better(compatible) like texas instruments?

I know this is a little off topic... But seeing a post for the OP8Pro with a 2022 date on it is refreshing! Been searching for days for information on how to flash a ROM/TWRP and/or ROOT and most posts are from 2020. I was beginning to think the device/projects were abandoned!
While on the subject, if anyone has recently and successfully accomplished any of the things I mentioned, would you please share? I have over a 100 tabs open right now from all the bricking I've had to come out of over the last 5 days!
Thanks!

The only thing I can think of is the contacts on the phone that connect to the battery are dirty. Not making a good connection with the battery. Maybe try and take a Q-tip with some rubbing alcohol and clean the contacts on the phone. Let it dry and put the battery back in.

I cant think of anything else sorry. Might be a hardware issue with the phone.

Just an update I sent it back to the seller and he fixed it for a small fee
