I don't know how you people didn't figure that out. Okay, maybe some hardware revisions play differently with uboot. Maybe. But I kinda doubt it. So what I really think is that the people who killed their battery unable to charge didn't have the patience to sit there for a few minutes after plugging in the cable when their device was off.
That must be it, the scores of people who had this issue must be idiots with the attention span of a goldfish. - you know some of these guys had a bricked phone for a number of days, you would have thought that one of them would have had the sense to plug it into the wall

The fact of the matter is that U-boot did not play well with a pre-installed multiboot and folks could not load a kernel, and yes most of the people I discussed this with tried pretty much everything including your suggestion to get the battery charged, all of them had to get it charged externaly.

From my observations, I believe that some part of the kernel must be loaded before the device can charge - try it yourself, turn off the phone, plug it in and watch as the 5 dots appear before it starts charging.
