Comment on Part 3: They said a phone can’t run without a battery. Unfortunately, Pettyl didn’t get the memo.

What did you put in place of the battery? nothing or a cap? i tried this with a moto g6 but there is not enough power delivered through its own usb port so i have to use a 5volt source+capacitor connected to the bms i saved from the battery.

I did not need to fake battery presence, just needed the battery as a starter, once the phone is booted just removed the battery.
Although the real test is yet to come, I have to leave it like this for a day or two, to see if it powers off when CPU spikes…
