First of all, hello everyone!

I'm interested in differences in charging between ubiboot and factory harmattan.

I've found some informations here:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Ubiboot#Charging

Charging

Ubiboot handles rtc and usb events to boot up device from power off state:

a) to Ubiboot telnet console (when connected to PC USB), device will not be charged.

b) to configured default kernel (harmattan) to charge (when connected to wall charger).

c) to configured default kernel (harmattan) to trigger alarm.


"Case a" works flawlessly.

"Case b" sometimes does not work, but reboots and then starts up Ubiboot console/screen (not charging).

"Case c" needs some precondition. Make sure you have shutdown your device from Harmattan. Otherwise the alarm may not be triggered in NITDroid or will not be triggered in Nemo.
So let's transform this into real world scenario. Is it possible to brick the phone because of battery run out and ubiboot won't charge them by simply plug a wall charger? By bricking the phone I also mean a situation when phone won't get up by itself and there is a need for some emergency tricks.
