Help battery level is 3768%

[Android Question]

how might i re-set my battery settings? i cleared cache in recovery, that did nothing.

this is after i flashed the 6.0.1 factory image on my N7 2013.

Did you happen to have rooted your device?

 

[boathead]

yes, it is rooted.

Thanks for that info...

Did you root manually or use a root toolkit (like Wug's)?

The reason I ask is that there have been a few reports in Chainfire's BETA SuperSU thread over on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133) of mis-matched kernel's and boot images causing this problem.

yes, i used wug's toolkit. would you suggest de-rooting? not knowing the correct battery level, while definitely a first world problem, is becoming rather inconvenient!

Well, I don't know what version of Chainfire's root package Wug's utility would be using...root for 6.x is still a work-in-progress, but is getting close to being finalized.

You could use Wug's to flash back to stock and the don't root right away--first verify that your battery percentage is being properly recorded / displayed.

I'd think I'd start there just to rule-out there being a hardware issue.

 

[boathead]

very cool. i'll do just that. truth be told, i don't even know why i bother to root anymore.

edit: and thanks, my friend.

re-flashing without root worked. thanks again.

re-flashing without root worked. thanks again.

No worries--glad that helped!

Also, you could try to root manually with a the latest Chainfire root beta .zip file (it's really not that complicated) or just wait until things have settled-down (v2.46 is the current general/stable release but won't work for Android 6.x; the latest beta version is v2.65 (last I heard); it could very well be that Wugfresh is waiting for the latest 6.x-compatible version to be stable before implementing it).

Cheers!
