Are you serious or just joking? If remove battery without shutdown phone it will harm to your phone and battery.

No it won't.

It's bad to shutdown a computer by pulling the plug because of how Operating systems on a computer work and mainly because a computer has a spinning harddrive. And it is really bad to shutdown a computer while it is writing and reading off a spinning hard drive.

But on a phone, it is hardly that harmful at all.

I wouldn't recommend doing that to fix a market issue. But pulling the battery from a phone isn't that bad at all.
