The boot loop trap called the "MassStash Syndrome" happened to me as well.
Nothing I did even after following the suggestions here really seemed to work for me. I used my friend's TP2 battery to boot to normalcy. Having an external battery charger would certainly help and I am sure these can be had from ebay or alike for relatively cheap. Aaargghhh says NAND is not for the faint of hearts, so, if you want to be in the game, you might as well have things to save your day.
I think in my case, the reason I got the boot loop trap was because I tried to boot up the phone when the charge was really really low and like joshts0 here, the battery ran out before the boot up process was done and so the phone kept thinking the the boot process must go on.
I am not sure whether the same boot trap will exist while reboot after the phone is left out to drain completely.

Once that time has expired pull the battery and turn it back on. You will have a working phone again. If it does not boot then just put it and bootloader and reflash. |

only way to break this cycle is to pretty much unplug the phone from usb and pop the battery out to make sure arm9 is completely down. Then you can pop back in and charge. If not, then it will drain. Issue may stem from the fact that we arent killing usb during shutdown as we should.
This does not happen when i shut down without usb plugged in. So i'm pretty sure its usb related.

If you just plug it in without pulling the battery, it will continue to try to start and do what you are talking about. My phone dies on me just about every day thanks to the broken USB pins, and I never have an issue charging it as long as I yank the battery first, then charge it. It will vibrate a bit, but the screen should not come on. It will charge, then after about 5 minutes, I pull the battery again, put it back in, and turn it on.
