Okay so I bought this phone on eBay a few months back and just got a chance to really work on it. It needed a new screen assembly and the phone was reset to factory by the seller but he did not remove his Google account so I used a method to bypass the Google account which worked but now the phone will not charge unless it's put into safe mode. also the notification light which is on the right top next to the speaker is always on but it's not on when I put the phone into safe mode and so this seems to be a software issue all the way around. I reset the phone to factory specs and wiped everything about 3 times so there aren't any installed apps other than what came with the original factory software and stilll no luck. Any suggestions? The phone is not unlocked and hasnt been rooted so I don't know if doing that might help or not?
