Not sure if this will work for everyone, but I've been playing with ways to fix the battery drain issue where you're unable to power on afterwards.
Generally you'll plug the phone in to power on, but you'll keep boot looping.
Here is my fix.
Plug phone in while holding both volume buttons.
Select Recovery
When recovery boots, unplug the phone from charger, and press reboot system.
The phone should reboot like normal,
Plug it back in as soon as the boot logo changes.
The first time you do it, it'll boot normally, but die because of low battery; however it did get a small charge during this.
So do the steps above again, and you'll get the phone back on.
you may have to do it more than twice, but twice has always worked for me.
You're welcome

Just be careful, alteredlikeness and I worked on a script together for this very thing and it really did not get you too much power and ended up draining more battery than it charged, that is why we never posted it. The other thing is that you can fry the phone in doing this too, so again be careful.

how can you fry the phone doing this? I've done this twice now so far without any hiccups.

Anytime, you have a connected power source that you plug and unplug, there is a chance that a connection go astray. I have done this to two different phone while testing this and a few other ways to get the battery to charge after a full on dead batt, with the boot hijack in place. The boot hijack is the real issue in why you even have to do something like this, and why we recommend not fully draining the battery.

im running a miui build from abt 2 weeks ago, idk how relevant that is... BUT i let my phone discharge completely til it died. now when its on the charger, it boots to the miui screen, sometimes even the lockscreen, then craps out. i get that the battery is too low to hold a charge, but wat can i do? i tried charging in download mode, but it eventually reboots. custom roms wont allow us to charge the phone while off, so anyone have any suggestions, as i am in this constant bootloop????????
Sounds like you need a new battery, the phone is supposed to shutdown long before there is damage to the battery but a completely discharged lithium battery may never take a charge again, but if you can't charge with the phone off then you may have other issues.
Id hop on Ebay and find a replacement battery. Them work from there

This is my experience i am on miui also and the other day I had the same thing happen and I just did the three button trick to boot into recovery and left it in recovery for about 15-20 mins then reboot and it started to charge. Hope this helps.
Yikes, I guess ill have to remind myself to never let my battery deplete. Although I thought it was recommended to let battery cash in at least once per month.

howd you get it to boot into recovery? when it boots, it goes straight from the circular dotted charging/loading symbol to my miui boot animation, NO samsung screen so i dont know when to let go of the power. ive tried at random times, but no dice. i dont have enough juice to unplug, boot into CWM, then replug

Pull and replace the battery and Hold both volume buttons and the power button at same time.... Phone will reboot, once you see samsung splash screen let go of power button while still holding both volume buttons and cwm should come up.
I Should have said while being plugged in. Mine was via usb

i never got to the samsung screen, but your first suggestion worked. when it booted to the lockscreen, i quickly unlocked, turned off wifi, gps, and adjusted screen brightness, then i wa able to boot into recovery and let it charge a minute... thanks for ur help & to the other the guy that tried
I've had this happen also with a totally discharged battery and CM7. Booted to download mode and wiped with Odin, reflashed CM7.
I had this happen with CM7 a couple weeks ago. A couple guys asked if I was using the actual Samsung charger and pointed out that it has some charging internals that work with a low battery situation that other chargers may not have.
So, were you using the Samsung charger or another USB power source?

Hi all. I have years of rooting under my belt but this is the first Samsung phone i've owned and I've got quite an issue. I was playing a game and the phone just shut off on me. I went to restart it and nothing. Did a battery pull, i felt it vibrate like it was trying to turn on and still nothing. So I tried to boot into cwm using volume up/down and power and the Samsung splash screen flashes for a split second and then shuts off and the phone just vibrates like it's going to turn on but won't do it.
So I tried battery pulls, holding power down, and now when I plug it into the computer it vibrates every two seconds but won't turn on. What's the deal this seems like a major hardware malfunction and Odin/CWM none of that stuff is usable because it just won't boot into anything.
So last resort do you guys have any suggestions i'm all ears :-(
I've had this a few times before... I forget which one exactly but either vol up + power button...or vol down + power button gets you to download mode and then you can flash the softbrick fix.
or if you do manage to get to CWM, you'll need some quick fingers to get to the "install zip" option before it reboots. once in there you're good to flash your ROM.
or, get a USB jig to get to download mode and flash soft brick fix.

False alarm, apparently there is a battery bug reported on other forums. My phone had read 100% for quite awhile and I was digging the battery life but apparently i was over zealous. The meter was reading 100% but the battery was draining and the phone died. It wouldn't fire up until i left it on the charger for awhile. Very odd, guess I will delete this post and research this battery issue... unless someone else knows more about it
I have the same battery issue, but only when I use my car charger. When I take it off the car charger, it will read 100% till I reboot. Only after reboot will it start reading the battery state correctly. I DO NOT have this issue with the house charger...... Strange.
you guys after charging for 100% go to cwm and format battery status this will probably resolve ur issue.
Its not Really a problem as the phone runs fine, but i was wondering if anyone else has seen this, it happens on every rom i have put in since root and downgrade, if i power it off it reboots normally
Also if i Pull the battery and put it back it Auto powers on

Is your power button maybe recessed or stuck? Could be causing it.
You can follow me on Twitter - @NotSo1nter3stin
If it means aything it feels fine and passes CWM button test just fine.. It still has that slight click to it
EDIT: Ok upon checking again, as i haven't actually tried in a while it dosen't straight reboot, it reboots to recovery/CWM, the only reason i want ti to power down it to do a full charge on the battery, now i have been told this is frivolous but hey my battery is old, got the Shift when it first came out and it still last two plus days on a charge

You get two days out of an original battery . I would be very happy about that. If what your saying is that when you power down, and then plug it in to charge it reboots into Recovery. Then that is normal, it happens a lot on rooted devices ( not all but a good portion ). As for your device just rebooting as soon as you stick the battery back in. I'm going to have to agree with notso on this and say something is wrong with your Power button. It should not be doing that. I had that happen on a Shift that had been dropped. Turned out the Power button was damaged. It was stuck half in. Which caused a bunch of weird things.
Well then I guess I cant complain, but yes I get more then 48 hours from a charge, I charge it over night every other night and try to deep charge it once a month, seeing as i cant use mine to do it I use my wifes, my Full charges consist of Complete discharge, Charge to 100%, power down and leave on charger for 1 hour, then power back up and leave on charge for another hour once in a while during the Full cycle clear bat stats

I am able to get 2 days out of the the 2000mah or the original battery with drob's latest kernel.
Actually, a brand new factory battery seems to hold up better than the 2000mah batteries we got.
It's a htc charging while off issue if it powers itself into recovery once your phone shuts off. You'll need to talk to koush about it because the older recoveries can power while off but the newer ones can't because the older method no longer works on the newer recovery source code.

Hey y'all this is my friends phone and he messed up. He was always having battery issues where it wouldn't take a charge and was constantly fighting with it over something. He thinks the phone is cursed. Here's what went down at the end;
Friend was flashing stock firmware to phone. Phone was stuck on one of the flash spots, not sure if BL, AP, CSC, etc as I was not there. Because it didn't appear to do anything and he didn't know to wait it out, he rebooted phone in the middle of flash. Now the phone is completely unresponsive! Plug it in, no response. Hold any buttons, no response. Changed battery, no response.
At my wits end with this phone Anyone have anything or any advice that will help save this phone? Mint condition, would hate to have to write it off.
You sure the battery has enough charge to power on? If you say the battery wouldn't take a charge originally
Holding: Power - Home - Volume Down until the device reboots a 2nd time sometimes gets them back into download mode
A bad ROM flash should not prevent the phone powering up, that sounds more like the original power issue

Holding those buttons does nothing. Even when plugged into USB. I have tried multiple cables. I even installed new battery for s7 and nothing. Screen remains dead and phone has no image or vibration response. It just stopped working after his failed flash.
I just purchased the 6x and I was going to root and get some stuff done before getting it setup for a relative.
However, i screwed up the twrp recovery flash and messed it up. I've found the directions to get it back on track, however I can't charge it enough to actually let the recovery run. The battery is dead and when i plug it into the charger it just keeps turning back on and sticking at the "Your Device is booting now". I've attempted holding the power button down to force it to shutoff, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Anyone else run into this issue and managed to get past this problem?
You can try pressing the up volume + power. Also you can try down volume + power. Also you can press all 3 buttons and keep them held down. Hopefully one of those combinations can help you. Else you will have to let the phone battery completely die (overnight) and then plug the charger in.

Unfortunately I've done all of these options. Letting it drain over night is what got me into this situation actually. I can get myself into fastboot to follow the instructions I have, install the boot/recovery/system images. And can even get the boot for installing update.app to start, but from what i can tell it doesn't have the juice it loses power and shuts down. then when it gets just a enough juice, it automatically turns back on and sits at the "booting now" screen.
Are you sure you held down the power button long enough? Try holding it for 5 minutes straight and dont let go no matter what
I am not sure what else to suggest to you, will wait for one of the more experienced members to chime in. You may have to physically open the phone and disconnect the battery if nothing else works. And that is not an easy job if you look on YouTube to replace the battery on this phone takes at least an intermediate level of skill with micro-electronics.
All I can tell you is to please not lose hope. I had a situation 3 or 4 days ago where I had FRP lock on and nothing I tried worked and I was ready to sell the phone on eBay for $50 and cut my losses but the older members of this forum helped me and after hours of frustration I finally have a working phone again. If worse comes to worse comes to worse than your final option will be to try to get service from Huawei, maybe lie to them and say that you accepted ota update and that the Huawei update caused all the problems. Or better story than that: Tell them you where mugged at the Mall and thief stole your phone but then 3 days later you saw the same thief again at another Starbucks and confronted the thief and took your phone back again. But it appears the thief must have tried to flash TWRP or something because now phone is messed up. Maybe they will believe that. Haar-Haarr
But that is a worst case scenario, probably it wont come to that. My phone was doing the same thing as yours, I forget what I did to interrupt it from rebooting on its own. But really all you can do is try a combination of the buttons and hope the dang phone will finally just power off. Its too bad you cannot boot into TWRP and select POWER OFF
Try booting into eRecovery. Plug your device to the charger and turn the phone on. When you're on the bootloader warning, press and hold Vol+ button until it boots. eRecovery should let you to charge your device. It also has a battery indicator.
BTW, don't forget to download your phone firmware. It may be necessary for fixing your phone if you messed up an important partition.

I can't seem to get to recovery.
After working on it more yesterday, i'm not entirely convinced it is the battery causing me the issues. After flashing the .img files in fastboot, i can sometimes get it to start recovery (both volume buttons and power) and it will start installing the update but it stalls and reboots at 5%. Based on what i've read on the other threads, this has to do with not getting the right firmware matched from what as on there before. Problem is i jumped so quickly into unlocking the bootloader and trying to root i never paid attention to my build number in the OS to know what to flash back to. I've tried multiple TeamMt firmware search website, as well as the official one from Huawei.
