Guest LeeWillRockYou Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I just rooted my phone and everything went fine but whilst the back was still off (after having to remove the battery for 10/15 secs) the battery fell out, whilst the phone was still on and when I put the battery back in, the phone won't boot back up. Is there any hope, have I fused something or scrambled the battery's chips? I'm not sure what it could be? There is no charging light from either the laptop or mains charger. The only response I get it when I disconnect the phone or the battery from the laptop, the laptop recognises that something has been removed (makes the notification sound). The phone worked perfectly before albeit a little slow, wish I never bothered tinkering now. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest george109 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Welcome :) Have you tried plugging the phone into the charger with the battery removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeeWillRockYou Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks for the welcome. I have tried every combination of battery in/out, laptop/mains charging. It's currently being left in the mains, hoping that it will just pop on :/ But the battery is not getting warm and neither is the phone. I just can't understand why removing the battery would kill both the battery and phone (does some sort or write out/ummount have to happen?)

Guest george109 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Probably :( :( However, pulling the battery and then plugging it in has bought my G300 back from the dead several times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeeWillRockYou Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks for the hope, I will not give up for a few days tinkering about with it anyway. Thanks for your replies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tommy.35 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 same as me, so why Dazzo dont remove the new recovery when its killing phones OMG... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeeWillRockYou Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I've just received a reply from Huawei who have told me to "give it a good charge for 8 hours" and if I still have an issue, to call their hotline for a detailed diagnostic and if required book a repair. So does this cost me anything? I'm not sure if I'm still in warranty or not? I'll have to find some records and make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kyan31 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 same as me, so why Dazzo dont remove the new recovery when its killing phones OMG... Dazzozo always has a disclaimer, so it's your problem if you choose to flash one of his things. He isn't liable at all, and he can choose to leave it up if he wants.

Guest akarana Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Pulling the battery and leaving it out overnight can sometimes work miracles. OTOH pulling the battery while the phone is running is a fairly sure way to scramble the rom, and according to the literature a fairly sure way to fry flash memory chips. I've always been surprised how well my G300 battery stayed in while I turned it over with the back off. Might be time to put it all back together neatly in the box and try for a return. If the memory chip is fried your typical servicedroid can't tell what caused it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I probably shouldn't have done it but I have pulled the battery on running phones (including the G300) many times without frying anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me doing that has an even better effect! :P It makes the battery percentage go up by about 2-5%! :o No Joke!

Guest Mechanix012 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Mine died too 2 weeks ago, then I bought broken one with working mainboard and created my own Frankenwei (Frankenstein + Huawei LOL)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Do you know if it had Hynix or Samsung eMMC? And did you run anything with the 3.4 kernel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeeWillRockYou Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 To update: I returned my phone to the Huawei repair centre (at my own cost of about £4) and received it back exactly a week later with a new board inside. After a few days I'm reminded again of how sluggish it can be and I'm tempted to root it once again but I'm not sure I dare now :( I just can't stand the delay when I click an app, especially after now owning a Nexus 7 for a few weeks :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Why are you worried? It's difficult to brick the G300 unless you do something really dumb - or still have Hynix eMMC and flash the 3.4 kernel based CWM or CM10.2 which allegedly causes problems (and since removed for download anyway).

Guest LeeWillRockYou Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Because I don't really know what I'm doing ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Then read up on things and learn about it. There's lots of useful information here and a community willing to answer questions that are not covered adequately already. Otherwise don't mess with your phone if you don't know what you're doing.
