Hey there,

My Dad got a Galaxy S5 some time ago and cannot afford to upgrade. The phone recently stopped charging all together. When plugged in and powered on it doesn't respond to the charger, at all. When powered off and plugged in it loops the grey battery logo.

However if you boot download mode and remove the battery whilest leaving the phone plugged in, it stays on and functional. I even completed a full Odin flash back to stock without the battery in the phone for the entire process.

My dad claims he got a virus, but I factory data reset the device and flashed the latest update via Odin, and it still will not charge.

If anyone has any idea on what the issue may be, it would be appreciated. Prefreably as-fast-as-possible. He runs a business, and cannot answer calls for it without this phone.

Thanks.
