i had same problem, all i did was put the battery on the heatingplate of the coffeemachine till it was pretty warm.. then put it in 1A charger..

problem solved

heat = energy too ;)

(used to do this to get last bit of juice out of batteries, place them on central heating for a while...)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JamesR311:
Mine was having this problem. But what's really weird is I just got in a warranty phone from cingular and it immediately started charging the batteries. I took a half charged battery and put it back in the old phone and it boots right up again and will charge a battery now. It's just odd to me that one phone would charge up a dead battery and my old one wouldn't. Any reason why? My old phone did use my motorola charger mostly, did this hurt it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] loewst:
9Volt worked for me too!

My friend's Wizard was dead and wouldn't charge, so before he went out and bought I new phone I told him to let me hold on to it. I knew I'd find the answer here.

But for those of you who aren't sure how to do it like I was at first, I just used two wires to connect the +/- of the 9v to the phone battery +/-. A few 3 second shocks did the trick. I was in disbelief...

I think I have to give you some money!!!!! $$$

9v worked on my 8125

I attempted the shock to the battery out of the unit but it didn't work, seemed to help but couldn't get charge light to come on .

I actually applied the voltage shock 3 seconds to the batteries + - while it was still in the phone, usb connected as well, the charge light came on and started charging. Fooled the old Wizard!! Sync connected and all appears to be fine again.

Thanks for this thread.

Gotta love it don't ya .. I have the same problem, and my battery even has a little + and - mark on the label .. trouble is - the label is stuck on so the + and - are aligned with the gap between 2 pins !!!

From the alignment, one pin is on the extreme outside, and the other is one pin in from the outside ... Can someone tell me if it's the + or the - which is on the extreme outside.

e.g. is it

I I I I I I

+.......-..

or

I'm currently overseas traveling and brought nothing but a regular wall charger, and am now experiencing this problem.

HERE IS THE CORE ISSUE BEHIND THIS THREAD AND A CORE FLAW IN THE HTC DESIGN: THE HARDWARE REQUIRES JUICE TO DECIDE TO CHARGE THE BATTERY?!?!?!? You should always be able to charge a completely depleted battery via supplied hardware, IMHO.

Why can't the device just pass the input charge blindly to the battery? For those that travel, I see this "completely drained" battery as a risk.

Do any other HTC phones have this issue? This will influence my decision for the next phone purchase...

I've been using the WiFi heavily and this seems to zap the battery strength. Overall not impressed with the device's ability to drain itself to the point of being unable to charge. Phone suicide?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zabardast_1:
what kind of wall charger is it,is it the original charger which came with the device ?cuz a flat battery can only be charged with a wall charger which gives a out put of 1 amp ,if this charger is not giving it a 1 amp out put it won't charge,second,method is 'jump start' the battery.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arty Dodger:
Hello,

Ok so I have an issue and have been searching and trying different options all day. I was rooted on MI9 with safestrap installed booted into Rom slot1 with Xnote flashed. For some reason I don't understand, I reset both stock rom and rom slot 1 (wiped data). After I restarted the phone, it was stuck with the Galaxy Note 3 logo and Custom padlock. After researching, I tried to flash stock MI9 using odin. This is the message I kept getting:

Now when I restart the phone, it goes to Odin mode where it says to use Kies to fix the firmware issue. Of Course, Kies didn't recognize it. It will boot into downloader mode but not recovery mode. I now uninstalled Kies and tied to flash stock many times using just the AP button. The whole time getting the same message. I can't think of anything else to try. All I want to do is go to a firmware (I don't care what) stock and unrooted.

I see this popping up on the threads but have not been able to get back to normal. This sucks! Cann anyone please help me?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arty Dodger:

Are you sure you're on mi9? Looks like youre on mj5 already looking at your dl mode. If you are on mj5 you cant use kies to load up mi9 we cant downgrade bootloader.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haitian:
This may or may not help you.

I recently worked on a friends AT&T S4 (locked bootloader like our Note 3). It was doing the same thing you describe. Once it got to System.img it seemed stuck. Then would fail. I was then on the screen that said use Kies. I tried 3 times to flash without luck but I noticed that each time it made a little more progress. I changed usb cables the 4th or 5th flash and it finally went through and completed the Odin flash. So I would say keep trying to flash, change USB and see if it gets a little farther each time.

Good luck
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arty Dodger:
I was able to get it fixed by following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559715. I was on MJ5, but I thought I was on MI9. I felt pretty dumb when I figured it out. I freaked out all day and when I got home, tried that and it worked, but you have to complete all the steps. If you just leave it at Flashing MJ5 it will be very buggy and will not work that great.

I feel so much better now! Thanks guys!

Hello,

Just picked up one of these 2nd hand for a young man I know.

It has a custom rom on it that has issues.

I am trying to use sony pc companion to try to fix but for some reason I can not connect to pc.

I plug in the usb cable but nothing shows on the pc.

Hoping someone can help me please.

I have tried 2 different leads but still nothing.

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Goodvibes:
If the PC is Windows 7 or 8 you should see a USB connection.

Any USB 2.0 MicroUSB data cable should work.

When you plug the USB data cable into the PC and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i phone, do you get an LED light indicating the phone is being charged(powered) via the USB port? You should see an LED power light.

On the phone you can enable USB debugging ( Settings ► Applications ► Development )

This won't 'enable' the connection but it does:

a) Provide an advance software connection between PC and phone for software updates and etc.

b) Displays a little Android icon on the phone to show something is connected.

When the phone is connected in USB data mode, you should see a new drive appear on the PC.

These are just very basic things but just covering them as we progress through to a solution.

PC Companion is a good app to start with to restore the phone back to stock firmware.

Another Sony Application is Sony [Ericsson] Update Service(SEUS) Sony Update Service

Sony Update Service just focuses on the firmware update and does not have the PC suite and Tools of the extended PC Companion application.

SEUS may provide the 'kick' the PC needs to request access to look for SEMC USB drivers to establish phone/PC connection.

There is also Flashtool.

This will still need the PC to provide USB drivers, which is should prompt for, but could require manual driver configuration.

In the Flashtool folder there is a driver install app that prompts for drivers of a given phone, but this is not always a 100% sure fire solution.

So, I'd check using SEUS to start with and see if things improve.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android Noobie:
Thanks mate.

I did SEUS and it said the phone was up to date.

I tried again to use Sony pc companion.

I get to the part where it says drop down the menu and tap usb then mount.

The phone does not do that.

When I drop down the menu all I get is usb debugging.

When I plug into pc via usb lead I see an icon which says cd drive I but I can not open the drive.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] francescopp:
As the title says, can I flash a firmware from the European qualcomm S5 SM-G900F in my t mobile SM-G900T??

I want to flash the uk version SM-G900FXXU1ANCE since those from europe are mostly bloatware-free (the ones that are not from a carrier)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Aou:
Whatever you try, don't flash the bootloaders from any other phone to your device, unless you absolutely know what you're doing.

Otherwise, you might just give it a shot. If you have a good recovery (e.g. TWRP) or something that you can use to get back to stock easily, then there's little risk. Keep in mind that you'll only want to flash the Kernel and the ROM, but you'll want to leave everything else alone (bootloaders and recovery for example).

If by "firmware from...", you mean the odin/kies firmware package, then these typically include the whole shebang. These will probably have bootloaders, recovery, and every partition included. I don't recommend using these unless you know how to dissect them and remove the bad parts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dynospectrum:
Yes, all ROMs from international S5 forum will work. Just don't flash anything Exynos based as far as recoveries go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] francescopp:
so, if i go to sammobile and download any sm-g900f firmware is safe to flash it as is? or should i remove the bootloader as aou recommends in the previous answer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dynospectrum:
Read my first response, only ROMS from the international S5 forum on XDA. DO NOT flash firmware for a different model from SamMobile.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
If you look in the S5 (G900F) threads you will find many, many ROMs. Most of them will work on the G900T. You need to do a lot of reading about ROMs and how to install them. I like Omega ROM and use it on my G900T on AT&T's network.

It's all about research. You will need to read a lot so you understand what you can and cannot do with your device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] petermk10:
thanks for your response im currently using cyanogenmod 12 kinda ok maybe ill try the omega rom after finals thanks again for ur answer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
No problem, but to warn you, Omega is a touchwiz ROM. I'm sure that's part of the reason why it's so dependable. I started off with straight android but I've had a Samsung device since the S2 so I'm used to and enjoy touchwiz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] battlpn:
How about the opposite direction? G900T ROM to G900F?

So, I'm in Saudi Arabia and there's a opportunity to buy a G900F. I'm a Tmo customer and would like to flash a G900T rom so I can enable wifi calling. I actually use it quite extensively since I'm abroad.

Any chance that is possible without complications?

I think I saw another thread where someone did this, but had problems with the GPS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nyepo:
Sorry for bumping this, I've been searching about this but didn't find the specific answer.

Can I install G900FXXU1CPD2 (which is for G900F) into a G900T, just using Odin? I have been reading and I've seen in many places that a lot of roms for the F version would work on the T version, as long as they're unbranded and have nothing specific on them. This one is supposed to be unbranded (Netherlands) without any kind of bloatware or apps from any mobile provider.

What do I need to do in order to flash it and make it work?

My G900T has the last Marshmallow version, and it's 100% T-Mobile stock, no root or anything.

Thank you in advance guys.

I am trying to SIM Unlock my LG G Pad 8.3 Model VK810 that is Verizon and should come factory unlock I believe. I need this to be used on AT&T LTE which I have a sim card for and a tablet plan on the shared data plan.

It is on 4.2.2 baseband is m9615a-cefwtazm

I tried adding some ATT APN settings I found, but that did not help me. I think I need to Change it to GSM From CDMA somehow? I am not really sure. I can update and root if needed or whatever I need to do. I also have a samsung z3x box, but dont think it will work on the LG.

Any help would really help me out! Thank you in advance.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uprightbass360:
As it seems you are comfortable messing with your APN settings that should be all you will need to do. The device is locked to specific wireless frequencies but luckily for you at &t uses the same LTE frequencies. You will need to have root access in order to write your APN settings though, check the forums for information on that. Finally make sure that the sim you have is compatible with your tablet data plan, and your APN settings should be as follows for mobile data only.

APN: BROADBAND

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uprightbass360:
I haven't read much about i0root but it looks like it will work. Now the next part is not certain weather or not it will work, but I have seen tablets able to run on other networks that are unlocked. As long as Verizon did not implement any extra protection you should be able to use an at&t sim that is enabled for tablet data.

Once you are rooted go pick up es file explorer and navigate to /system/etc/apns-conf.xml . Make sure that before you change anything that you make a copy and name it something else so you can find it again if you have to go back. Open the file using the text editor. You can get rid of the other apns and just put your new one in there and give it a reboot. It should kick right on after you reboot. Good luck!
