Edit Reason: Update
)
So I tried some more images, the phone can get to the boot screen on battery, but will then power off unless it is plugged in.
Update: Tried openSUSE, battery seems to be charging now and I can unplug it too. Everything seems to work. Will try other images again to see if they work now as well.
Update2: Ok openSUSE does seem to have similar problems. If I get it booted It works just fine, even rebooting works, but If I reinsert the battery while unplugged then boot it starts acting weird again. If it doesn't boot, the screen stays off and will be bricked until battery is removed. Only way I can fix is if I boot while plugged in. This technique also works for Mobian and jumpdrive, but those will power off if unplugged.
