How to calibrate your battery stat

Plenty of people they don't know how to calibrate their battery esp. in android phone. A lot of them encounter failed in battery stat like example instead of 10% it turns to 50-100% after a few minutes of charging. Sometimes it drains rapidly even on 20-50% battery stat. This is consider a fake or false battery stat either has a problem possible in your battery. 

The Android operating system has a setting called Battery Stats which indicates the battery capacity, when it is full or empty. The problem is that it sometimes become corrupted and starts displaying data that isn’t real, which causes the phone to turn off before reaching the 0%. The process of calibrating the battery would correct the information. To do this you need to fix it by calibrating in order to have ideal battery stat. There's a numerous tutorial in entire web but this method that will teach you is 100% tested by me and our member in facebook group.

Then hang the phone while in ON status for atleast 30 MINUTES.
Note: DON'T USE OR DONT DO ANYTHING IN YOUR PHONE.

[TUT] 3 methods on how to make full dump or nandroid backup

This is the best things you should know first on how to make full dump or android backup. I have three possible methods which you can help you when the times need it. Actually you don't need to be developer nor a programmer. I also learned it from the web just want to make it easy to understand. I will teach you as the best possible and also I attached images to follow my instructions on step by step procedure. Then why do I need to backup?. Well this is one problem I've noticed yet few are have knowledge regarding this. Once your phone in bootloop and hardbrick due to some other reasons. Unfortunately, you need to go to your service center to fix your phone. Although I don't want you to miss this things because this problem can waste your time, effort and also money. Then to save your phone this is your first task you should know.





Method 1. Through Custom Recovery.
I know some of you had knowledge in custom recovery. I think you are familiar in CWM or (ClockWorkMod) but you doesn't know how to make it. Actually there are many custom recovery the best as far as I know are CWM,CTR,TWRP and Philz Touch this made by our developer in XDA. You can choose any of them or anything you want. Honestly, I can't teach you on how to port it just because it's more complicated. Hopefully, I can make a tutorial later on but I will teach only on how it works in your android phone. Perhaps you can request it to me to port this custom recovery just visit our thread here. This custom recovery you can backup and restore thru your phone only. I suggest you to backup your phone before to download any apps just to make it smaller in file size. Then once your phone in bootloop or softbrick you can restore it easily.




Method 2. Through MTK Droid Tools.
This one of the best tools that has a lot of features. Thanks to rua1 of XDA for this one of the most  useful tools. You will need PC , MTK Driver and stable USB cord to do this method. Phone must be  rooted and mtkdroid tools ask you to download busybox in playstore if needed.

Requirements:
PC/LAPTOP
USB CABLE
ROOTED PHONE
Mediatek Driver
mtkdroidtools.rar


1.Set your phone in USB debugging mode, then connect via USB cable.

2. Open mtkdroid tools
    Click root then Grant SuperSU then wait to finish.

3. Once connected. Click Root,backup, recovery.

4. Click Backup. Then wait to finish.

5. Click To prepare blocks for Flash tool.

6. Then locate the folder created usually name of your phone and date. Located at mtkdroid folders backups.

7. Locate files.md5 then wait to finish.

8. Then folder was created name !Files_to_FlashTool. That's it!

9. This folder can now flash thru SPFT.

Method 3. Through SPFT.
This also one of the useful tools to flash stock rom or firmware. It can backup your rom thru readback. This method is only way to get preloader which can use to fix deadboot or hardbrick.


Requirements:
PC/LAPTOP
USB CABLE
SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01.rar
Mediatek Driver
mtkdroidtools.rar

1. Download and Install SP Flashtool in your PC.
2. Connect your phone without the battery thru USB cable into PC.
3. Open SP_Flash tool . Click Readback

 4. Click Add

5. Click the line in the start address as shown below.

6. Add ROM_0 in any folder. I suggest to create new folder and place in desktop for easy to see.

7. In start address will show check Hex, Select EMMC_USER, Edit Start address for Preloader edit Length for Cache.

8. To determine Preloader and Cache address open scatter file.

9. Copy Preloader linear_start_addr number ex. 0X0

10. Also copy  Cache linear_start_addr number 

Then Paste it accordingly as shown below.

11. Click Readback then wait for couple of minutes.

12. Download and install MTK Droid tools. Open the tools go to Click Root,backup, recovery

Then Click To process file ROM_from Flash Tool. Locate your ROM_0 file that you save earlier from step 6. Wait to finish. That's it!

Note: The file was  located at mtkdroid folders backups.

Disclaimer: This tutorials was work in my Lynx mt6592 chipset I don't think so if it could be work in other device esp. new chipset despite of MTK DROID TOOLS still outdated for new chipset. So I also make a thread separated for new chipset on how to backup here;
