If the battery is totally empty the booting process eats more energy than it can charge, so you end up in rebootloop, but if you change your phone in a mode where it isn't trying to boot up (like flasher -i), then its able to charge enough power.
i tried the command "flasher -i" with Winflasher but it cannot find my phone.
It shows: "Suitable USB interface not found, waiting..."

On my work laptop, it also took a number of tries with my (then) dead N9 before it got seen properly...

this is not new Nokia has this issue from good old 7710... when battery fully exhausts, this stuff happens... sometimes i have to give my 7710(since its still in gud cndtn) a rest for a day and then recharge it & then it recovers form comae...

35? Why exactly 35??

allenchuang: on your computer, type
sudo ./flasher -i
BEFORE connecting the phone. when the flasher tool says it is waiting, connect.

first i added rzr repositoriy, i tried to install rdesktop, one had some broken dependencies, the apt-get said that it had to download some packages, i noticed, it had downloaded many packages like upgrade firmware, and finally i was not able to install rdesktop, i had tried to add libssl1.0.0 (i don't remember exactly) externally with dpkg, i remember i executed apt-get autoremove it showed a large list of packages then i was concerned. i left it for peace. later i rebooted device, i started have problems. i have n9 . sorry for my english i'm from mexico.

i am using windows 7 and i downloaded Winflasher. when i type
sudo ./flasher -i
it returns 'sudo' is not recognized as an internal or external command.

so i tried flasher -i and plugged it in still not finding my phone.
argh so frustrating. and nokia isn't replying either.
