Got stuck in a boot loop today. Tried removing the battery, then replacing it then plugging the cable back in, but that didn't work. I also tried the "unplug and plug the USB cable in for 5 second intervals" trick, but that didn't work either.


I ended up heating up the battery with a hair dryer for a good 5 minutes, then putting it back into the phone, with the cable already plugged in. I let it sit there for a good 20 minutes. Works fine.

You have to get the battery pretty hot for this to work, but don't go crazy. I think it may explode if you go to far lol

EDIT: IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE HAIR DRYER TRICK DIDN'T WORK.

What I did now is got a small variable DC power supply and connected it to the outer pins (the ones labeled + and -) of the battery and maintained a constant 3.4 volt charge on the battery. This may be out of reach for some, but it is basically a simple way to charge the battery without the phone. Don't charge it for too long like this though; just to start the phone.
