battery recharging not working on rooted device

i was used to try for hours to get my phone back to life after it shut down due to poor battery level, but now while it was fine the battery heated a lot and the phone powered off and after one day of tries i have still not succeeded to get it back on. when I plug it to the charger the device powers on and after some time it shows only the big red battery gauge, 1%. then sometimes it reaches 2% and after some time the part of the phone above the battery gets much hotter, though not as hot as the battery did earlier, and the gauge falls to 1%. I tried to keep it plugged for one or two hours and it shows only 1%. Actually it seems that the phone is configured to power on automatically as soon as it is plugged to an external power source. Li-ion batteries normally need to be recharged at very low rate when they're at very low level, though this is a dangerous case, so if the phone keeps powering on, the charging current might not be enough to over-compensate the drain.
I'm asking here because i'm wondering whether rooting the phone has anything to do in it, and if there's a special combo that could disable the phone from keeping powering it on every time it is connected to an external power source. I'm currently searching a way to get the battery recharged with an external charger.

The battery is shot, get a replacement
