I have an S5 with stock Samsung ROM which I rooted some years ago with Magisk and TWRP recovery. For the last few years it has only been used as an alarm clock and I have forgotten how I set it all up in the first place, in fact I had forgotten that I ever rooted it. Up until now it has been working fine but I wanted to give it to my 9 year old daughter to use, so I did a factory reset on it through the normal Android menu. After that the phone works but will only charge in Recovery, not when its off or when its booted normally. Same cable and charger that I have been using up until now and I also tried others but didn't make any difference.
When the phone is off and I plug in the charger,it vibrates, the battery symbol comes up for a second and it displays the message "set warranty bit: kernel" then the screen goes off. The charging LED does not come on. Then after about 10 sec it does the same thing again: vibrate, battery symbol, message, screen off and just keeps going round that loop but never charges. When the phone is booted in normal mode it doesn't seem to detect the charger at all, nothing happens. In Recovery it charges perfectly but its a bit inconvenient!
I tried restoring the last TWRP backup that I had which seemed to contain all the partitions but it hasn't made any difference to the charging problem. It seems the phone has power and CAN charge but is deciding not to. Any ideas please how I can get it back into operation?

Magisk version is old but I have not attempted to update it yet in case that makes the situation worse.

Never mind, I got it working with a different charger. Very strange. The first charger works fine with my Huawei P20, maybe too high power for the S5? Although I thought the device only draws the power it needs even if the charger is capable of more.

Hello, I met a very weird problem of my L720. Let me describe my problem: 1) Phone charges fine when Android is fully boot up; 2) If I keep the charging cable connected, and choose to restart or shut off the phone in Android, it will stuck at the battery icon at the very first boot screen, shown as attached pic, even if I disconnect the charging cable at this moment, phone is still stuck. I have to remove the battery to fully turn off the phone..
Plus, there are two very tiny outputs on the top-left screen saying: "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing. Set warranty bit kernel".
Before the problem appeared, I fully restocked my LL720 to NAE, then used Odin to flash root, then installed GooManger, and TWRP, then installed a customized MIUI.
Does anyone have the same charging problem with me when phone is turned off? Is it a battery physcial issue or related to the ROM I flashed? Your help is appreciated. Thanks.
It is an issue with MIUI actually (the ROM you flashed). Only way to charge is when is powered on and not powered off.

Hey Guys,
My phone gets stuck in a bootloop if I don't use a charger while turning it on. Actually, doesn't even get past the splash screen and reboots every 1 to 2 seconds. I also need to connect it to the charger to access TWRP. Normally, when I disconnect the charger after the phone has turned on, the phone suddenly turns off. But when I do the same when I'm in TWRP, nothing happens and I can continue using it without any problems. I'll put the logs if you neeed. And yes, I don't need the charger to get into fastboot mode. I'm currently on lineage 15.1 unofficial but the problem persists over other roms too. Please help...
Change the battery
It's the battery , which is under performing with the voltage needed to run the rom process,
That's why you are able to use with charger and got bootloop without charger. In twrp or any recovery mode most of the hardware is disabled and does not need much power.

Thanks!! It worked.. I got my battery replaced and not my phone is as good as new ?
My phone has been operating perfectly fine up until a video meeting I had today, where the phone went from 100% to 0% by the end. This Axon 7 has had a lot of wear and tear on the battery so that is normal. Today the phone was very very hot during shutdown.
Upon trying to reboot, I am stuck in a bootloop. I have Lineage installed, and tried Stock but that wouldnt even get to the booting animation. I uninstalled Magisk before these tests. Now I am back on Magisk, in LineageOS (latest build) and managed to get back to the booting animation.
Does anyone know any kind of damage that could occur with a hot phone during normal operation (not boot or shutdown) shutting down? A bootloop seems like a strange result.
If you can still boot to twrp, just stay there and let it charge a bit, maybe 20% + battery level. I experienced this situation twice already.
The first one I experienced this, it won't even boot or even charge while it's off. I even opened up the phone to reconnect the battery. The second time, I was able to boot to twrp. So I let it charge while in twrp. HTH

This was the solution, however, along with something else.
The phone only charged correctly in TWRP, so I advise that. Definitely uninstall magisk so it doesnt patch other installs (I've noticed its installer gets called every time I flash a rom). I still had bootloop so I assume all my hard-resetting didnt help. I got it to fully boot on Bliss, but since I kinda miss Lineage I may return to it later today. (I love my "0% brightness" and blue light filter among other lineage features).
Please help! My S5 Neo was in a drawer for a few months after the LCD got smashed. I recently bought a new LCD assembly and connected it to make sure it worked before fitting and it was fine. However, the phone immediately started doing a software update but was interrupted after a few seconds as the battery was dead. Now the phone won't power up or boot into download mode or recovery. When I plug the phone in to its charger, the LED flashes red but nothing is displayed on the screen. I had a new battery for it and charged it in another device but still no joy. I've been messing around with old galaxy phones for a couple of years now, flashing custom ROM's etc, so I wanted to just re-flash a stock ROM into it but there's no way I know of performing this without getting the device into recovery or download mode. Does anyone have any ideas? The device is totally stock and hadn't even been rooted. I'm currently using an S4 Active running Lineage OS 17.1 so I'm not desperate for a phone, but I loved my S5 and really would like to get it up and running again. It never once had any problems.
I used to have a Pixel 5 phone, which unfortunately was run by a truck and now I am stuck with an old Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phone. I have decided yesterday to install Pixel Experience on it and it all went fine. I have unlocked the OEM, enabled USB debugging, installed the latest version of TWRP with heimdall, and sideloaded the Android 11 Pixel Experience Plus ROM.
I had done a full wipe of the phone before doing it, including the system, etc. I have then recovered from the backup from my Pixel, and it installed all apps. Then I saw that there is a new version of the Pixel Experience, installed it, and plugged it into the charger and I woke up at the Google logo. I disconnected it from the charger and the Google logo was still there, it took me a couple of minutes to switch it off while holding continuously the power button.
I tried to go into recovery or download mode without any success. Then I have connected it to the charger again and I saw the battery indication with lightning inside, but normally it also shows you the battery percentages but this time, it didn't. I have then tried to connect to my PC, thank God this time, it booted straight into recovery. I have tried to sideload again the ROM, and this time, it worked till the end, but then I was unable to slide the slider to unlock it and restart the phone. Then switched it off and tried once again to sideload it, this time the phone died at half of the sideload. I am completely desperate now. Am I doing something wrong?
