Default [Q] Can't turn on Galaxy Ace

I MOVED THIS TO A MORE SUITABLE AREA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3#post19126103


After rooting and getting my unlock pin, I uninstalled some pre installed apps.

When I try to turn on my phone - unplugged from any charger, it shows the battery empty symbol (sometimes it just does nothing) and wont let me turn it on. BUT! when I plug it into the charger it shows the true charge of the battery (100% at the moment) and I can turn it on.

Another thing I've noticed is that holding the buttons for download mode puts me in RAMDump Mode, and Recovery mode is now a different button combination.
I have to put it in download mode Via ADB commands.

So my problem is I cant turn my device on unless its plugged in - but once it's on, it no longer needs to be in the charger.

I have unrooted it and flashed the firmware via ODIN several times now which has not helped.
Please give ANY suggestions!

I selected the option for that on the phone, but it doesn't actually reset to factory state.
Which is why I've tried to flash it back using ODIN, but that still leaves the same issue behind.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Flash a new Rom? I think you have messed up with system files.

Thanks for the replies.
I have fixed it.
I drained the battery completely, and let it turn itself off. I then charged it up again and this seems to have fixed it.
I can now turn it on without it being plugged into the charger.

After it turned itself off... did you charged the phone turned off?
I have the same problem and I don't find the solution...
