Hi, I had a bricked optimus 3d, after the installing the cwm recovery I couldn't turn it on, it would always go into the cwm recovery, no mater how I turned it on.
So I followed johnance17's unbrick guide on an xp pc, and I was able to flash the v10b fw.
Everything went like you described it: the counter reached the 100, I waited about 6minutes after that to turn it on, after that it would go straight to the android factory recovery (the one with the blue letters), and to phone won't boot up.
So I made a factory reset, than reboot, but nothint happened, then factory reset and wipe cache partition, than reboot, but I was still getting the recovery.
Then I made a factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe nv dynamic partition, and then reboot, but the phone instead of rebooting turned itself off.
I turned it on, but it said, that the battery was almost empty, and needs a recharge (strange, because it was fully charged).
I pluged it on the charger, and the sign of a totaly empty battery was showed.
I left it for a couple of hours and the hole night, but the empty battery sign was still there.
I tried to turn on the phone, it booted up normaly, everything was ok, the phone was working again, but the battery was completely empty.
I bought 2 original replacement batterys, but the result is still the same.
The phone is unbricked and operational if the charger is plughed in, when I unplugh the charger, the phone says, that the battery is empty, and turn itself off, and will not charge.
So, can someone help me what went wrong, why won't any battery work?
Why won't they charge?
I think that it has something to do with the last item I wiped, the nv dynamic partition, because after that the phone hasn't rebooted, but turned off.
What sould I do?

I've tried, but no luck, unfortunately..
I was able to flash 10b without brick, but but had battery issues like you described. I thinks its a flaw in the build. I just installed King_3d_rom_v1.2 ROM which is in the developer section of these forums and it works well and has apparently solved my battery issues. ...probably worth a shot! (Good Luck!)
I tried to flash King_3d_rom_v1.2 ROM but still, battery is still at zero(0) level.
@freez76, What ROM were you using before resolving your battery issue?
Did you do a full wipe before flashing (cache, data, dalvik)? I was on 10b when I was having battery problems. I am now on 10d with King and not only its my battery working again, but its better than it was on the May version of the stock ROM. ...I should also point out that I am on a developer version of the phone.

I have same problem to you. My first rom is LGP920-V08i-APR25-2011. I upgraded it with V10b_00.kdz. However the O3D turned off after booting. If I connect with USB cable, it is working well. but battery level is zero. Do you have same firmware at the first time???
Yepp, I've unbricked it by installing the v10b fw.
Tried the kingdom rom with wipeing everything, but still the same. :S
Have you backed up original rom??? I didn't..... So I didn't use o3d until now... If anyone has the old rom,. pls post it... Thanks.
@freez76
Is the 10b fw you had with battery problem the one from Fabio's post? When you flashed it, did you wait for the O3D to restart itself after reaching Param 100 in kdz_updater?Would it be possible for you to upload a backup copy of your currently working ROM (King) and share it with us who are having battery problem?...Thanks in advance.
@freez76
I hope so.... Pls Help us freez76... Thanks
@dnardz
Yes, it was the 10b update from fabio's thread, but the update was from gpx. From what I remember the update took awhile, but eventually completed normally. However, the battery seemed completely messed up after the first discharge.
I am attaching a link to my wiped fresh backup (which will need to be unzipped) of my o3d with KingROMv1.2 installed. Its the same restore backup method that gpx used. Just a note, I am using CWM 4.0.0.9. Please check your version and update if its not the same. I hope this helps....Good luck!

Many thanks Freez76...I'll give it a try now...
Thanks Freez76. However it is not working at my O3D.... How about dnardz and Zirowe????
Sad to say,it didn't work also on mine.. i think i'll try to flash 10b again,..then apply the June update as Freez76 did, and then update using King's rom.otherwise we'l have to wait for an official flashing program ang maybe a gingerbread rom to come out.by the way im also using prototype model.

Well, I'm still stuck, I'm out of town now, will give it another try on tuesday.
Not ideal I know but at least you will be able to charge the batteries again as well as having 2 spares. I use one of these and they work very well.

I've already tried two other batteries with the same result, so it's not a solution for me.. :S
The idea is that you can charge the batteries with the stand alone charger, not that you get other batteries to charge in the phone.

i'm now on cm10, but the battery life is a bit disappointing
so i'm switching back to the stock rom now
is it just ok by pressing factory reset in the menu? or do i have to do anything else like flashing the stock rom again?
got no threads about this in the forum

First, sorry to hear CM10 isn't working out for you.
You will need to flash either a Sense based custom ROM or you can use an RUU to get back to stock.
A factory reset will only delete the contents of /data, dalvik cache and cache.

Just restore your nandroid. You made one right?
You understand it takes a couple of battery cycles after flashing a new ROM, before the battery meter is accurate? Give the ROM a couple of days, charging to full, then draining to 10-20% before you make judgements on battery life.
The easy way to go back to stock, if you want to stay rooted is to just flash one of the ROMs listed in my Index under "Stock Rooted": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
You can just flash over cm10. I've switched ROMa quite a bit. I've been on cm10 but I switched to kingcobra1x because I missed sense too much. Still like the aokp look a lot

If your looking for a great stock like ROM give Scotts CleanROM a try. Think you'll be very happy with it.

If my phone is from at&t should i use a specific one or any one can work?
I got a atrix 2 a while ago with an extended battery. Later on he decided he wanted to get the standard battery. the battery never turned on and just got a battary with a question mark. so i went back to the extended battery and now this one is having the same problem. I need help asap.
BTW i already charged the battery by itself......

Let's start with some basic Q&A, shall we? What firmware version in the Atrix 2 running? Do you have CWM or another custom recovery installed? Have you tried a factory reset from stock recovery if no custom recovery has been installed? Have you tried wiping the battery stats with the custom recovery (if installed)? Was the extended battery working properly before switching to the 'standard battery', and was the 'standard battery' an OEM Motorola brand battery. or a knock-off?
This happened to me once, a wipe of battery stats fixed it

Okay so I rooted my infuse to jellybean the collective ROM and just yesterday it kept on restarting by itself. Now that every time when I'm trying to put it in CWM or in download mode it won't let me. Also when I install that ROM my computer isn't able to read the drive at all.. Can someone help me with this solution please thanks.
Did you root from froyo to jb or gingerbread to jb. did you go straight to jb because your supposed to go to gingerbread first, than ics than jb.
I don't remember. I think I was on the ROM from remic. And then i flash it to the rom I have now.
I just want it back to be stock again how do I do that?
I personally like Heimdall, others like Odin. Follow the instructions in the OP.

okay so i factory reset my phone and it's back to stock now. but the problem is whenever i turn it on it turns off by itself. and when i charge it, it shows the battery for couple seconds then dies and keeps on repeating that. is it because the battery? or what? please i need my phone to work before my trip.
Sounds like the battery. Now whether it is from the in phone charging not working, or the battery itself, is the question. Do you know anyone with an Infuse or, I think, galaxy SII where you can try their battery?

Most common problem is the power button.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
I opened up my phone its not the power button i cleaned it and everything. I think its the battery cause sometimes when it dies and i turn it off for like 30 minutes to an hour and turn it back on it says that theres 80% of battery left but the past hour it was down to 10%. Its weird, do you guys think att will be abke to fix it?
I have my Galaxy S5 rooted and a custom rom(Rico's rom or something like that) installed, but my friend with the same phone gets better battery life and she is on stock.
So I was curious, can I restore the stock rom and just install titanium backup as root and unlock the hotspot? Instead of installing superuser and all of the other stuff?
If so how would I go about doing that after restoring it back to stock with ODIN?
Thanks for your help!
I think no. But do your friend gives the same use as you to the phone? That must be the first question.

Titanium backup will not work without supersu/superuser. You can restore stock rom and just root only using those two apps if you'd like. But as the post asks above, are you using the phone in the same way? Same installed apps? Same coverage area? All those factors play a role in battery drain.
