Did the battery die in between the process.?
What SBF you flashed from the link.? Was it your stock SBF or some other.?

The battery didnt die during the process, it just die an afternoon...
When i replace the battery it works fine for a while, until i used the RSD lite to change the Android version...
I cant remember exactly which SBF file i did used from the list, i think that could be the Claro Latin America´s file.

Actually i can change the android version using the RSD lite system...
But none work :S
It is just stuck in the bootloader screen

does the battery charge when turned off?

problem...
i dont know if this is being charged when is turned off, but the battery works fine, it is on during all the process with the RSD lite...

try to boot into boatloader modus ,
If it says battery low cannot program you know what's wrong
If your battery don't charge use McGiver trick ,other battery or else
If it don't boot after flash with rsd
Factory reset from stock recovery would solve your problem

The problem might be the SBF you flashed.
Just try to get the details about the SBF you flashed.. At least the CG version.

I did flashed my defy with this sbf version:
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P015_A030_Service1FF.sbf

problem...
The sbf that i flashed was this one:
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P015_A030_Service1FF.sbf

you have flashed the worst sbf you could have. i am afraid to say that the phone is now in dire straights.
the battery fixes dont work for that bootloader on normal defy red lense phones. the only chance you may have is to read through my thread but ultimately it may not help so please do your own research before you come knocking down my door.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836958&page=2
i havent fixed the issue but i am able to use the phone but only if the battery is pre charged. no matter what i did or what battery fix i flashed i can not get the phone to either tell me how much charge is left or get it to charge the battery and sometimes i need he mcgyver trick to even get the phone boot.
basically i still havent properly tested it but i have an external battery pack on its way and will be able to confirm one way or the other tomorrow. if it goes as i hope then i will be able to charge the battery sing an external pack put the battery in the phone and use it until it runs dry. then i can charge the battery again using the battery pack and so on and so forth.
i am using white rabbit rom which has a cm7.2 base and is really very good. it also has four battery fixes you can download and there are a few more found dotted here there and everywhere on xda. you will have to search for them. all told i tried 6 and none have fixed the issue however you may have better luck than i did.
i have been told it is fixable but i didnt find one and have given up now. if the battery pack doesnt work then i am just gonna throw it in the drawer and buy another phone.
sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Seriously.!! Why you didn't read before doing anything. Full SBFs kills the option to revert back.
Now flash that SBF again, see if you can boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.

You are not understanding, my battery is fine so i can turn on my phone without using the Mcgyver trick...
My defy is just stuck on the ( M ) screen, i read already others threads and they call it bricked, so my phone is bricked and i have to unbrick it.

Go into bootloader by pressing Power button and Vol+ button
Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable
Make sure everything is OK
Locate downloaded SBF. In popup dialog press Uncompress and start flashing
If you get " Please manually power up this phone " in RSD Lite pull battery out > put your battery back > reboot into stock recovery by holding Power button and Vol- button > Choose Wipe data/cache > Choose Reboot system now
That's it, you unbricked your Defy!

actually i did understand totally what you said and if you had read the thread i linked to you would have found the answer in there but no big deal because neo.ank has spelled it out for. do that and the phone will boot again.
the problem comes after you have got the phone flashed and running again and i guess in that respect you didnt understand what i wrote.
if when you get the sbf up and running can you please post back on this thread and let us know if the battery charges and is registered as being used... ie the percentage drops down after 2 hours of use from say 100 to 90 or whatever.
i am very keen to hear if your battery will work when you have the sbf flashed and running though so please do post back and confirm one way or the other. cheers and good luck.

THANKS!!!!

hmm thanks for replying.
are you running the stock sbf? if you try a custom rom can you let me know if the battery works and which rom you are running. did you flash a battery fix or did it work straight away with no issues?
anyways glad to hear it is all ok and if anything changes if you flash a custom rom let us know.

Don't try to do anything about it. It won't change.. It will remain MB526.. That's why it is said to be non-downgradable.

[Q] Almost bricked One X

Hi,
Yesterday i flashed the wrong ROM on my Onex and now i've got some issues i can't seem to resolve.
The Rom i installed was for the Tegra3 Onex and i've got the international version, so yeah, kinda stupid i know.
Some facts:
-Hboot 1.12.0000
-Bootloader is unlocked
-Clockworkmod is installed
-Made a nandroid backup
-Got a fastboot folder
-The ROM i installed was Cyanogenmod 10
At first i didn't notice it was the wrong ROM but it drained my battery pretty fast and WiFi/SD-card/Network/etc. isn't working.
The phone hardly charges (only up to 3% or something) and when i go in recovery and restore the backup i made, it's going into bootloop.
I can't find a way to install another custom or stock ROM on the SD-card since my pc isn't recognizing the device as a storage.
I can however communicate via cmd, but when i try to flash another boot.img on it, it says power too low.
Any idea on how i can get it charged?
Any idea on how to get it working again? (w or w/o stock rom)
Thnx a lot in advance

Switch off the phone and charge it for 1hr

Allready tried that but it won't go beyond 2/3%
Tried charging it while plugged in to the laptop and while plugged into the net.
Yesterday i left it charing for a few hours while it was turned on, but when i got back to it, it was turned off.

The tegra3 one x IS the international one x.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

What XX said. The international One X is the Tegra 3. Did you flash the boot.img prior to flashing CM10?

@XxVcVxX Hmm, my bad about the International version... had a short night, thought i figured it out...
@dr9722 Yes, i flashed the boot.img and followed the guide exactly. The ROM does work, but somehow it doesn't recognize the SD-card, WiFi doesn't work and network doesn't work either. And on top of that, it still doesn't really charge and stays at about 3% when i charge it on standby for an hour.
Any suggestions on how i can get another ROM (zip-file) on the SD-card (perhaps somewhere in the settings?) so i can replace the current one?

Does the Rom actually boot into a usable user interface?

Thats what I thought.

Yes, the ROM does actually work, it's got apps installed and everything else seems to run pretty smooth. Developer options can be enabled and everything works.
Except the most important parts don't work... unfortunately exactly the parts that make it a phone!

well, this is probably an HW problem... if your phone boots up and can't charge, well that's weird... try erasing battery stat in recovery

Ok, it's charged up to 13% now after being turned off for about 45 minutes. I had it still plugged into the laptop but as soon as i turned it on (screen on minimum brightness) it drains the battery extremely fast.

Yeah, allready tried to erase that. But this happened after i installed the new ROM.
Other problem is that when it is on, it doesn't recognize the SD-card so i can't put any other ROM on it, stock or custom.

did you try what i wrote above?

Ok, it went down from 13% to 2% when i powered it down. Figured if i turned it off, it wouldn't consume any energy, but appearantly that isn't the case.

how can it drain battery with power off? Try to leave it charged for a whole day. You can mount your sd card from recovery fyi.

I tried to mount the SDcard, but it still isn't recognized when i run the ROM.
I can't seem to install USB Mass Storage, which might be the problem.

My note 2 doesn't bootup

I was updating to latest version of cyanogenmod through OTA and after that my phones battery just died I mean it showed 1 percent and even though I charged it, it still was running off the battery and no matter how long I charged it it just didn't boot up
I can load download mode\ recovery but I installed through odin a stock rom and still it boots up and says I have no battery and turns off even if it connected to the original samsung charger, and I can't just turn it on like with the power button I need to load recovery and then reboot.
please help me i'm really frustrated

Do you think that a battery can die just like that with no reason?
I think its a software problem and not a technical one.
does anyone have another solution?

You have good reasons to believe it's a software thing, yet you also don't.
Focus on what you are able to do at the moment.
Since your phone is just a brick now, no matter what your suspicions are, you need to test it with another battery and eliminate possibilities.
Either the rom you flashed bricked your phone, or the battery just decided to call it a life. Either way, you need a battery to test whether it did actually die, or to determine whether it's a true software issue.

Yup it could happen(at least to me). My battery can last 10hours then suddenly when I woke up in a morning my phone dead. Use charger while power on only last to samsung screen. Thought it's a softbrick so tried to reflash but not working. Luckily I have a friend with the same phone so borrow his battery

so I checked with my friends battery and it still seem to have the same problem.
so does anyone have another solution maybe?

Have you tried to clear Data/Cache? AFAIK Odin does not clear them. You can try to reset all partitions with Odin using PIT file and then without rebooting flash stock rom. Hope that helps.

Charging problem in Xperia S

After shutdown, hold the volume up+power button until you get single vibration once. It is equivalent with removing and re-inserting your battery.
And then shutdown and full charge your phone.
If again problem remains, try hard reset, volume up+power button until u get three vibrations (Approx 10-15 seconds) ! It may solve the problem.

thank you..Is it a common problem in xperia S devices?

problems with the battery.

attached screenshots of the problem that is happening to me in my one plus 5T, I've already erased the cache and factory reset and it's still the same, some other idea?

Sorry to say, I think you might have to RMA it. Never seen anything like it. How long have you had the phone? When did it start?

omg, it can not be as soon as I have 1 month with the phone and it does not do more than to restart and the battery does that!

It happend me in the past when flashing roms in other phones. Just from 70% to 30% after a force closed and reboot.

You have to send it back under guarranty, problem with battery

Sorry to hear your problem.
Don’t wanna experience these type of issue ever.

Sad ?

My friend's OnePlus 2 did that a few years ago, I still have the screen from him. He sent it to me with a text that said "Weeeeeeeeeee" when it happened.

That's what the customer service people told me, but I have a detail. I went to a vacation in the USA, and I bought the phone, I arrived the same day I returned to Mexico and I did not realize I had this problem with the battery, now They tell me that I have to send the phone but they need a US address, and I do not have any relatives who live in the USA.
that's why I'm trying to solve it myself.

Try to calibrated the battery. Charge your phone at 100% and let it discharged until turn off (0%). So, with the phone turned off, recharger it at 100% (do not use the phone until this process ends). Or, unlock bootloader, install twrp and do a full wipe of internal storage and then install oxygen os again. I dont recommend a factory reset, because if there is a corrupt file on system, that will be useless.

On the first charge, you can use it to drain faster. On the second charge, you will have to wait it to be fully charged to use.
