My N9 was literally stone cold dead after laying totally discharged for a couple of days. Forgot to turn it off when I left home.

As I have Nitdroid on it I thought that has messed things up as the Nokia logo would not even show. The white led just lighted up for like 20 seconds after putting it in charger then nothing. Just dead.

I entered the flasher commands in cmd as you said and it took like 20 plug/unplugs into the computer before it actually came somewhat to life and flasher registered the device.

Thanks again!

edit: if I would continue with the flash (might be healthy for my phone) would that work seeing as I have Nitdroid with Android Jelly Bean installed on it? Would things get corrupted somehow if I clean flash it like normal?

dont worry, its fixable without flashing
i have been through this lately, and i thought i was doomed but found a solution
switch off your phone, open flasher (i suppose you know that part so i'll just skip it)
when you're in flasher dialogue just type the flash command and connect your phone..it will take sometime but it will connect and flasher will say that you dont have sufficient battery,
DONT CLOSE THE FLASHER AFTER THAT
This is the main part, DONT CLOSE IT..IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY START CHARGING YOUR PHONE. wait till it reaches 10% and then you can connect to wall charger or just close the flasher and switch it on.

Do you have any data to lose? If not do a reflash...

well i tried reflashing and followed the steps here,but when i reboteod the phone and got in the setting the timezone/time part,i pressed the timezone part to change it then it turns off again :( Yes I have data to lose that I wish I can recover because the previous posts here said that data/contacts/etc weren't lost :(

Re: N9 won't turn on, Please help!!! :(

a reflash loses your data... Pls read or ask first as i am pretty sure nobody has mentioned that a reflash keeps your data intact.

you may have to do a full rootfs+emmc flash but beforehand try using the fix malf state instructions to get your device mounted to extract your data...
