EUI - Charging only through TWRP

[masteriori]

Hi all,

I have been using my phone (X520 on EUI 5.9.23S) for over a year without any issues and all of sudden the phone probably overheated(felt very warm yesterday and the battery was draining fast) and now it's not charging at all unless I enter TWRP and charge my phone that way but that is very, very slow and takes ages to charge.

When I try to charge my phone the normal way, the battery indicator even turns green for a split second but then quickly changes back to white and refuses to charge as if a safety mechanism is in place that is preventing the phone from charging. Also, when I connect my phone to my computer, USB modes are not coming on the phone anymore nor is the computer detecting the phone properly. (I get "USB device is unrecognized" error message)

The TWRP method is so slow and inconvenient so I would appreciate if someone can help me out here.

By the way, I am on IllusionKernel but have tried OverloadKernel as well but the same result.

Thanks in advance.

Try replacing the stock boot by using “fastboot boot boot.img” which should restore stock kernel, may be EUI isn't supporting the custom kernels well.
However I am unsure,I read about this on a form some months ago so can't guarantee this will fix it or worsen it.

Thank you for your response. I have been using a custom kernel(s) for months and this just happened out of nowhere. I will still try to revert to the stock kernel.

Might be due to battery damage , probably needs new battery.

This could well be the case but it charges very slowly through TWRP and when using the phone, everything seems normal (no overheating or battery drain) so I think, it's something else that is the issue. Also, my CDMA official headphones are not working either during the call or even when watching videos.
