Battery Question

Anyone ever struggle to update a ROM because their battery ALWAYS reads at 1% - despite having benn charged for 2 days on a brand new battery? (phone battery life also suggests the 1% is incorrect as it lasts all day).

I feel like this is a setting that can be modified, or cleared, allowing the new ROM to be loaded...

Thoughts? Thanks for your help and suggestions - this is a great forum for these types of challenges.

Put the phone into bootloader mode then update the ROM. It won't check the battery level.

How exactly does one do that? I have looked all over the settings and reg edit areas and do not find such a beast!

Thanks for your help!

Try this to get into bootloader "pull the battery and put it back in, hold volume down and then hold down power until you see the tricolor screen (bootloader mode)"
