Problem with Battery

Hey guys,

I have a problem with the battery. When the phone is on, and I plug it, it's like the phone doesn't recognize it and ignores it, so it's like it's not working.

The funny thing is when my phone is off, if I plug it, it starts to charge.

It's super weird since I can only charge my phone when is off, which doesn't make any sense.

Can you guys give me any help please?

Thank you very much!

Path 1. ROOT THE PHONE.

My next move is trying to connect the phone to the computer, I have unlocked the bootloader in the developer options.

Stage 1.

I turn off the phone, and plug it to the computer. The computer makes a "connected" sound and right away, a "disconnected" sound. So I know it recognizes the phone. Then the phone shows the "empty battery" image and after 1 second, shows the charging percentage (and the PC makes a "connected" sound). I think that this happens because when you plug the phone, it first checks how much battery it has, so that's why first gives you the "empty battery" imagen and then, "63% battery" for example. The thing is, the PC knows something is connected and is charging, but I can't connect to the phone since it's off.

Then I try to get into bootloader mode. I press VolUp+Power for 5 seconds (PC makes "connected" and "disconnected" sounds). I have 3 options:

Stage 2. [Recovery Mode]

Loading animation. "No command" Screen. Press VolUp+Power again for 7 seconds*. PC makes "connected" and "disconnected" sounds and the phone boots as normal. (It's weird because it should take me to the Recovery menu, but no). I enter SIM Card PIN number and unlock pattern. It's not charging. The PC doesn't recognize anything. I turn off the phone and cry. Then I'm back at Stage 1.

* In this moment I have tried several combinations with the 3 buttons (VolUp, VolDown and Power) and the results are:

Each Vol button by itself - Nothing.

Power - Boots normally. I cry and go back to Stage 1.

VolUp+Power - Boots normally. I cry and go back to Stage 1.

VolDown+Power - Nothing happens.

3 buttons at the same time - Screen turns off. Computer makes "connected" sound and Kingo ROOT thinks I plugged something, Hallelluyah!

I can see this screen for 1 second.

Then this screen for 3 more seconds.

IMG="Kingo 2nd screen after No command" - http : // i . imgur . com / eMQi5K0 . png

After these heavenly 4 seconds, the screen reverts as if nothing is connected and my phone goes back to Stage 1.

Stage 3. [Fastboot Mode] - I haven't tried this option yet.

Stage 4. [Normal Boot]

It takes me to the "enter SIN CARD PIN number" so I do. I unlock the phone with the lock pattern. It's not charging. The PC doesn't recognize anything. I turn off the phone and cry. Then I'm back at Stage 1.

Somehow I managed to connect both phone and PC, after trying several times Stage 4.

Kingo -

I click the ROOT button and always, after 26% it fails. Okay let's try with the apk!

I try and it reaches 90%, then it stays there for a while and gives me this error code: 0x153E4D. I google it, I can only find the HEX color, called Green Vogue, nice. I give it another chance, let's see if a second time will succeed.

This time the percentage loads faster, but it's stuck at 90% again and nothing happens for a while, then the same error code. I try again with my phone unplugged, just to be sure, but the same error at 90%.

Root Genius -

It reachs 30%, then the phone restarts, I enter PIN and unlock pattern and the phone doesn't recognize that is connected to the PC. I unplug the phone. Plug it again and it's charging, but nothing happens. I reboot the phone, but nothing happens. At least it's charging. I close Root Genius and open it again, this time, it's telling me to connect my phone. It's funny since this time, when I plugged the cable, I didn't get any promt saying USB debugging mode has been activated so I think the phone doesn't know it's connected to a PC. Great.
