Hello, one more confirmation that this method is working!
I received my long-waited Pro1X a couple of days ago. After unpacking, I noticed that the device didn't boot up or take charge.
I was wondering whether to disassemble the phone to access the battery, or perhaps try to kick some charge in by
plugging/unplugging a magnetic cable (probably a thousand times...)
But luckily I found this thread. I wrapped the phone in its original packaging bag, squeezed its body (and the power button)
with a long twist tie, and left it plugged to its own charger for the night.
I can say that the process took more than 5 hours (phone LED was still blinking every 15s) but under 10 hours (LED green, battery fully charged).
During weekend I'll do some basic h/w tests with the shipped Android, and then the intention is to switch it to SFOS.
A user found a way to charge a 'dead' Pro1X!!! (confirmed by others)
