The issue here is the phones design, even when using the rice, I can almost bet my life on it there was still water inside the phone. Since the phone itself is so sealed, if water were to get in, you'd probably have to open it up more for the rice to be as effective.
Since you say the phone was responding, but the battery will not charge. Maybe you got lucky and only killed the battery.
If you can't fix it any other way or send it in for repairs, you can also try replacing the batter with yourself. Of course you'll need a few tools to open the M8, might be able to use guitar picks but I wouldn't recommend them ecause they are a tad thicker than the tools I'm talking about.
