[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonkin:
2018 may be late in the game to become a new owner of a OnePlus 2 phone. But here I am. My main phone at present remains a Samsung Note 4, and I'm trying to get a feel for how this old (but not as old as the Note 4) phone can be repaired. My issues are a mix of battery, possible circuit board, and other problems / eccentricities.

The phone was given to me non-working. I have a minor-league reputation for rescuing phones, so thought I'd try this one.

First, I had to get it up and going. Nothing worked initially. I wasn't delighted to find out the battery is only accessible after removing two covers and about 30 microscopic screws. I reset it by pulling the small "plug" at top center-right and the phone decided to allow me to boot. I immediately (per instructions I found elsewhere here) went to fastboot and wiped the cache.

I did manage to install TWRP and the latest (as of a few days back) version of Lineage 8.1. But then the problems began again. The phone would suddenly, after charging for a while (and reporting a battery that was nearly charged), shut down. No charging icon showed on the screen.

Fast foward. Today, I got a cheap knock-off battery in the mail. It intially worked and I got it nearly charged. But after more spontaneous reboots I noticed something odd; in TWRP, the battery said only 50% charged while in Lineage it said 97% charged. So once again I wiped the cache and this time the ART/Dalvik cache as well (pointless, but ya never know).

This did get the two percentage reports matching up. And initially it got the phone working again. But alas, once again, the phone started the shutting down.

Currently, I'm leaving it overnight to charge - if in fact it is charging (how does one tell)? If that doesn't work, I'm thinking about using Odin to totally reflash the original version of the operating system.

Any other ideas or input - including laughing at me for bothering with this - is permitted.

I will say that the engineering of this phone compared to the older Note 4 leaves the Note easily the winner; to take its battery out is a matter of 20 seconds. Really not impressed with my OnePlus experience so far...
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonkin:
Thought I'd update things. After spending a day on sites (here and on the official OnePlus community boards) I tried any number of fixes. I'm reasonably convinced the only way to somewhat consistently start my particular OnePlus 2 phone is to:

1. Open it up, thus voiding the warranty (hehehe.... by now that's void anyway).

2. Unplug the battery's small plug at upper right-center of battery (a fingernail works fine, but do make sure the phone isn't plugged in!)

3. *Leave the back off* or at best gingerly snap it on but without attaching the screws. (Every time I did so, even after extensively using the phone while it lay on my sofa's arm and rebooting it numerous successful times previous to replacing the screws, the phone refused to reboot.)

4. I also cleaned the usb c socket with a wood toothpick and was a little surprised at how dirty it was; I did the same in a minimal way to the battery contacts.

5. I found no real use to having the actual OnePlus charger; I used it a bit but my best results came from the Samsung charger and a new (though cheap) usb c cable I nabbed via ebay.

Today I did get the phone going and intentionally wiped Lineage and installed the latest (2017) version of the OnePlus2 official os. It went on fine. I rooted it, installed apps, and (as mentioned) repeatedly shut down and restarted the phone, which promptly restarted with only a 3 second lag. I did this 5 times because one thread I found suggested this was an official OnePlus suggestion. (I rolled my eyes but did it anyway.) Played with the phone a bit, then shut it down again and screwed the back on. As noted, the phone suddenly wouldn't turn on again.

In summary, I'm not sure if this phone can be meaningfully resurrected. If I knew where what may be a short in it was, I could possibly replace that part. But I have little idea and am not quite the geek enough to sort that out. I am guessing at a short because without the lid or screws, it wants to work. It wants to be a good phone for me and I'll keep toying with it for a while longer.

Any suggestions appreciated.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonkin:
Third post is a question for others:

Has anyone else experienced their OnePlus 2 working fine *without* the back cover screwed on, but as soon as it was screwed on the phone stopped working and wouldn't start again? And, if so, did they ever sort out why?

I'm going to make this a separate discussion.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maikl91:
Hey. I experienced the same symptoms with a "official" replacement battery I found online. Random reboots over and over again until I couldn't even turn it one anymore.

TWRP was always showing different battery percentages than OS.once I put back in my old but original battery that came with the phone it turned on again and it works flawlessly again.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonkin:
This is something I've read, and may well do. It also, however, raises another thorny set of issues re battery calibration. I understand that sometimes new batteries have to be "calibrated" by being charged, discharged completely, charged again, discharged completely, and charged yet again and discharged. After that, things are supposedly going to run right. Trouble is in my case, the phone doesn't want the battery; it keeps stopping completely and not restarting. Either the battery stats are wholly inaccurate (says around 57% charged during those brief times I've had it up) or I need to go with your idea. Trouble is there the original battery from this phone is dated 2015; I hope it has anything at all left to give.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maikl91:
Mine is dated 2015 as well and I'm getting through the day with closely 3 hours of SOT.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonkin:
I'm trying this in desperation. The phone has gone completely unresponsive at this point, and I'm looking at having a technological paper weight. Hope I can resurrect it but the odds are not good.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonkin:
Some progress, some regress.

Here's what I'm seeing. I can get the phone up and running again after extensive recharging. As long as I leave the back of the phone off - that is, both the inner and outer backs - it seems willing to keep running. As soon as I snap the inner back into place, not even with the screws yet, the phone locks up. Soon after, around 10 to 20 seconds, it shuts off. Sometimes it will restart and other times it won't for a long time, even after unplugging and replugging battery.

Has anyone else run into shorting or grounding issues associated with the back (inner, the one w/ 18 screws) case?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonkin:
I am now back to a dead phone. A new (3rd party) battery is my current hope... charging it for over a day now has not yet led to the phone showing any sign of life.

One other question: I know both this cable and charger work, but as they are not the "original" OnePlus charger / cable combo, could that be the difference? I'd appreciate it if there is any clear evidence regarding this question.

The below article raises a disturbing possibility, based on the reality that OnePlus cables and chargers are - by OnePlus' own admission - non-standard and possibly could harm other electronics. But on top of that, and not well explored in the article, is whether or not OnePlus' charger/cable combo might even be damaging to the OnePlus 2 (and other OnePlus phones). They "assure us" this is not the case. Hmm.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonkin:
I thought I'd update this thread with what may be the final installment.

I invested $70 in a highly bent but somehow still working second OnePlus 2 phone off ebay. (The guy had a great fall on a log story as to how the phone got bent.) Long story short... I gambled and won. That is, I gambled that the innards of the second phone would go into my first phone and that the first phone's screen would work. YES. And so, after playing amateur phone repairman, I have myself a OnePlus 2.

So many questions. Going to peruse this board now...

You cant flash a firmware with a lower bootloader number. The fifth digit from the right is the bl version. You are trying to flash a firmware with bl version 3 over you're current version 4 so just flash a firmware with version 4 and you should be good.

If I leave my Tab Pro 8.4 dormant for a few hours it shuts itself down. This is not a battery drain issue, as it happens when plugged in also. I have reseated the battery connector and it feels like it is snug.

I recently did the whole format data, double wipe and reflash ROM +GApps thing but the problem persists. Thinking kernel flash could be next thing to try.

[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] Lukkasss:
Hello.

I've just rooted my phone and everytime it reboots, it shows the unlocked bootloader warning... I've found that flashing custom logo.bin files could remove it and restore the original logo. So far, I've tried the ones of this thread: but neither of them are working... after flashing it, it displays just a black screen, with N/A on middle. It doesn't have the Moto logo, just a black screen.

I think it's becouse of the version of the file, that file is for Moto Z2 Force. What I'm looking for is a file for Moto Z2 Play.

Can someone experienced in it make that file available for Moto Z2 Play?

Thanks in advance.

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] SirTroll:
So I got the B367 update for my US Honor 6x. If I click on the update normally it will say it's around 360mbs and if I want to download it. But if I click from the top right 3 dot button it says I can download the full package which is around 2 gbs. So my question is what is the difference.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
The difference is that the 360MB update that you download OTA normally, acts on updating overwriting local files only (like Google security patch, bug fixes, ecc.) while the 2,47GB package contains everything for a clean system installation (like Huawei apps, services, ecc.)

hello guys .

my brother just sent meme some weeks ago a Samsung c8 SM-C7108 from China . I visited some countries and never had any issues .

I'm actually in Sierra Leone, West Africa for a 6 months mission ( food world program ) and my problem is that I can't find the cellular network for the 4g lte local provider :rolleyes: I think my phone baseband or something is the problem but like I said I'm just new to android universe ... I tried to visit Samsung's site from China ( it's the only one mentioning this phone ) but we'll no English... what can I do ? thanks guys :o
[General Questions and Answers] mtcoulibaly:
Hi brother,

The C8 SM-C7108 is a very amazing chipset with all the recent technology run under high tech devices such as S8 or S9.

Your problem is easy to solve. Just download the firmware and flash with Odin and you are done.

The only problem is that when you launch it under Recovery option, you will get at the bottom of the screen in addition to the usual Samsung information, (.... (device or resource busy). The firmware is not yet published wisely and you will not find it on Sammobile or samsung-firmware websites but the Combination file can be found here https://addrom.com/combination-rom-samsung-galaxy-c8-sm-c7108/

You can search for it and if you don't find it, you can let me know as I have the Chinese version too.

Thank you.

[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Open the SIM door or simply hold the power button and select reboot.
[HTC Vox] dudi:
How I didn't thought about it, I looked for a Keys combination in order to make sure the Sim Door or the battery cover won't break after a short term.
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
There is no default key combination to soft reset, you can use third party applications however. I use AEButtonPlus which is tied to my voice prompt button (the one under the volume keys) to issue a soft reset after 3 quick presses.

ODIN supports files with the .tar extension. The .md5 extension is just the added hash.

For TWRP to save settings ensure your /DATA partition is mountable.

If not you will need to FORMAT it and flash my dm-verity/encryption patch.

It is very strange your problem, in the same way there are many versions of twrp compiled for A5 2016, you can try them and verify if they all have this same problem that you have now ..

Hello Mr. I believe that in the a5 2016 it is not necessary to flash a patch, I have seen that for other devices for example (A5 2017) it is necessary to flash a patch and format DATA partition or internal memory.

In the case of "A5 2016" it is running without a patch, with the compiled img running smoothly ..
