heat, plus low battery life = a short. Take everything apart and try to find it.

It sounds like you're saying that your phone boots to recovery mode---try what con suggested above to see if the phone will boot off the battery and skip recovery mode if you pull out the cable after you see the Apple.

If so, then this one is also probably iPhone 5 pry damage. The recovery mode is a red herring, what your actual problem is no power and no home button function because of damage to some tiny components behind the SIM tray. The phone won't turn on without charger because the top power button is broken as part of this damage. The phone will boot when a charger is applied, but then goes straight to recovery mode because the home button isn't functioning---the iPhone thinks the home button is pushed all the time. I have written a facebook blog post about this exact problem---don't know how to post it directly but it was on July 17th if you scroll: https://www.facebook.com/mendonipadrehab

Can you exit recovery mode by pulling out charger when phone is booting after battery disconnect/connect?

by

No i can't exit

Take off loudspeaker and see what happens. Also take a picture of the area behind the sim tray under the interconnect cables to see if this is pry damage

Yes, you have pry damage---the bad kind. You are completely missing pad 1 of U3, and pad 6 is torn in half. It would be a very difficult placement, and then you would have to build a micro jumper to connect pad 1 to the adjacent resistor to restore this phone. This one is tough, but still possible to save. I would not recommend trying it without significant experience micro soldering and a high powered microscope.
