Heh... I discovered this by accident some time ago, running 2007.2 stock with upgrades... shut down the phone since not using it; an hour later, I tried to power the phone on again, and discovered it wouldn't, just like Michael describes (I got no click/AUX LED blink like you describe). Pretty amazed at how the battery could possibly discharge in one hour with the phone *shut down*, I plugged in the wall charger, and it came on on its own... and when it booted, batt charge was pretty much above 90% - so I still have no idea what that was all about. Have only encountered it twice more; once when running Qtopia, with a near-full batt, and once with Qtopia and the battery was almost drained, so no wonder it wouldn't come on. I observed this once with 2007.2, once with Qtopia. Michael said he's using 2008.08... and you're using Debian... so very low odds of it being rootfs-specific, right? Kernel-related, or some bug with power handling in h/w? Dunno... same experiences here with 2007.x and 2008.x-asu. sometimes i need to remove the battery multiple times before it is working again. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support Same here , my Device wasnt Bricked , that was this issue -- Armin ranjbar , System Administrator ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Some people have had success in resetting the FR by removing the battery, waiting for a few minutes, and plugging it back in and trying to power it on again. If that doesn;t work, try plugging in the charger and waiting to see if it begins to boot automatically; if not, wait for 15 minutes or more and try to get the boot menu again; if you do, try the Boot option and you may get it booted and charging again.
