Charge the battery broli, or try to power on the phone while on charge with no battery in and then put the battery in.

Yes it seems like the culprit was a zombie battery. I don't know why but for some reason it's really difficult to get it charging with the wall charger, it only worked once. I had to revive the battery by "manually" charging it a bit, I did this by using a nokia 5 volt adapter I had laying around which I cut the end off and made the plus and minus wires show. I just touched these two wires to the + and - of the battery for about 30 min. Now the phone can start again and I'm leaving it to charge with the usb cable.

So I think my wall charger is just bad.

activating emergency mode does not fix this problem

*note i did manage to get into emergency mode

but it asked me to reset my handset which is impossible.

( took out battery, tried hard reset and soft reset - unresponsive).
