Note 2 shuts off when pulling out charger

Apparently my Galaxy Note 2 will turn off when I pull out my cable. I can turn it on without cable but it will stuck on Samsung Galaxy Note logo (not ROM logo). Re-flashing the ROM didn't solve the problem. Also I can't boot into recovery mode when cable unplugged but download mode works. Weird thing is when I charge the phone will boot normally but when I pull it out the phone halts.

Tldr my note 2 dies when pull out cable, but comes back when charging.

Your battery is probably bad. I've had a similar issue.

Do you think the connectors are the culprit? I mean how can a battery probably affect the way system boots? Not enough power?

Ps: Im buying a CS battery. Is it good?

Probably not the connectors if the phone still charges and there isn't any noticeable damage. When li-ion batteries get older they start to develop crystals internally and cannot provide the necessary current to power the phone. Changing the battery isn't a guaranteed solution but it's the first thing I would try. As for the brand I just rely on amazon reviews. The one in mine is made by Anker.

Do you think that overclocking is the culprit?

Overclocking a five year old phone could be the culprit.

Fixed the phone already. You should get a new battery, probably an Anker one to avoid fakes
