G2x - overheat, won't reboot

Soo.. I overclocked my G2x at 1.2 GHZ running Eaglesblood 4.0.1. A few days later I was charging my phone and it got SUPER hot around the mainboard (the top area). Shortly after it was thrown in a pile of clothes and the battery popped out (oops). It won't turn on now. It recognizes the android recovery on the computer (pwr + up/dwn vol buttons) and I can flash recovery on it but it wont boot up. When i hooked it up to a charger (a wii) it displays the LG logo for about 5 seconds then the touch buttons lights up then it resets. Before today it would only display the LG logo for about .2 seconds then turn off (only when plugged into a computer).
What should I do? Could it be the battery, or did it overheat? Now, what should I do? Should I send in it for warranty (It had problems before anyways) and risk them being able to boot it and see that I OCd and rooted it?
Any help appreciated... Thanks

If you don't mind losing your internal sd card data you can try this and then flash the rom again to see if it fixes it.

I tried that (Thanks btw!). It formatted everything and sent the files over but it still does the same exact thing.
If I can't put a rom on it will they know I formatted everything? If so, will that void the warranty?

It seems like you have a stuck vol- button. Can you take a look and try tapping it lightly to see if it would release.
Don't know if they would if you have standard recovery... If you made a nandroid backup I can tell you how to push that... Then they should not be able to tell anything... Otherwise I think cwm is a dead giveaway

Actually most of the time you will be fine if you send in a rooted phone. There was a thread about this.

Yes, I forgot about cwm. I can flash stock t-mo recovery on before I send it in. How would I go about pushing a stock rom onto it?
Also, I don't think I have a stuck vol- button. I've messed with it countless times. I suppose I could take the phone apart and see if it's really stuck. Do you have any other advice? As of now the phone only turns on (it displays the LG screen but after about 5 seconds the logo disappears and the touch buttons at the bottom flash and it repeats. ONLY while plugged into a power source, though)
@zlopp - thanks!

You can use the reference link in the batch cleanup op. That one pushes stock 2.3.3. I don't think it is rooted either.
Does your phone boot loop or does it boot back into recovery?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

bootloop. I can't get it to go into recovery. It won't bootloop, or boot at all, unless plugged into a power source. Does that sound like possibly a failed battery? It was taking forever to charge and whatnot a few weeks prior..

Unplug the phone. Plug it into the wall. Hold the battery in the socket, but dont let it touch the copper conntectors. Turn the phone one. It'll show the lg screen. Before it turns itself off, plug the battery in.

let it charge for $15 mins and redo CWM recovery again.
6 month ago one of my friend g2x fried up the main boardduring charge, I have to paid $100 for broken phone to get the main board replaced

I can't believe it but it worked! However, once I flashed a rom and loaded it started giving problems. The battery indicator said 999% and the mainboard began getting a lot warmer than usual. Then it shut off. I turned it back on and the LG logo came up for 1 second then the screen flashed (A brief flash full of what looks like artifacts if a videocard were to fry) and it repeated the cycle. It looks like im sending this POS back to t-mobile

No problem. I was pulling my hair out when my phone did it too. It took a lot of experimentation to figure it out!
Now, onto the next problem. I suggest you run the g2x nullifier script to clean out anything on the rom. It might be messing with the phone. Then flash something known to be stable!
My phone also did the 999% thing. It was messing up a lot too, but the nullifier fixed it. Try it out

This SAME EXACT thing is happening to me except I had NO issues with the phone before. The battery had died down after a normal day of use, I charged it that night and then I wake up to it not powering on. Then with charger only a continuous bootloop of the white LG logo

Phone won't boot past at&t screen

Hello,
I have the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket i727 for at&t, stock non rooted or anything and I woke up the morning because I heard my phone make a sound and it was the Jingle that it makes after it vibrates, shows Samsung and then the screen goes white and the at&t logo appears, so my phone had just restarted itself and now it just get's stuck at the at&t logo and won't go past that screen. I have removed my battery and reinserted it and the phone doesn't turn on automatically only when I press the power button so I don't think it's sticky/stuck power button as to it just freezes at the at&t logo screen but to when I press the power button or hold it actually it just restarts the phone and doesn't turn it off only turns off if I remove the battery but doesn't turn back on when the battery is put back in. So anyone have any ideas on what to do to fix it before I just end up doing a factory reset or do you think I just need to do a factory reset, as it has been working fine for the most part, there were only a couple of other times maybe like 2 or 3 that the phone just restarted itself but it didn't ever freeze or get stuck like it is now and always just booted back up. I have also gone into recovery mode and wiped the Cache partition but that did nothing. so yeah any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Edit: well I went to recovery mode and just did a factory reset and well my phone got to the same screen and was stuck for a little bit but finally loaded up the getting started screen so hopefully this fixes the problem.

I recommend flashing a stock ROM with Odin if you want complete stock. Wipe data and caches before you do. Don't install the app you installed latest cuz that could be your problem.

Blue Screen of DEATH

Has anyone had or experienced the "Blue screen of DEATH" well thats what im calling it.
So i had rooted my tab and thats all i had done to it years ago. It then started playing up, screen flickering, random reboots and bootloops. So yesterday i flashed a rom that i found on here and its all been downhill from there. Reboots, bootloops, hanging on the "samsung" logo. The final part was the blue screen.
Anyone know how i can get back to stock firmware. Sammobile has the firmware but when i flash via Odin it hangs on the Samsung logo.
Any help or advice would be greatful

Read the threat " flickering screen " for more information: reboots, bootloops, hanging on the "samsung" logo are all common problems of cracked battery connector. This is an easy fix by resoldering the battery connector.
Blue screen of death, I only see it in SM-P907A from AT&T runs Kitkat, upgrade to Lollipop will solve this issue.

I had this same issue with KitKat and read on here in another forum that upgrading to Lollipop would fix it and it didn't fix it but what did fix it was taking the back off my tablet and unplugging the battery...holding the power button to release any excess power then plugged it back in. Once it booted up I downloaded Repair Battery Life by ToTheTops Apps and ran it....since then I have not had a single blue screen or flicker. This is after a month. Plus once a week i run the repair and so far, since the first time, there has not been any issues with the cells in the battery.
Now I am not going to say this will work on yours but it is something to try. It has worked for me.

How can I solve this issue? Stuck at TWRP logo

Hi there,
more than two years ago I installed Cyanogen on my TF300T and very soon after I sold it to a friend of mine. He used it all the time but lately it slowed down a lot, so he brought it to a IT guy who tried to uninstall Cyanogen and re-install the original firmware (what????).
He failed miserably, and now the tablet is in this situation: as soon as you turn it on it shows the Asus logo with the "this device is unlocked" thing in the upper left corner. Then it goes straight to the Teamwin blue logo and gets stuck there forever. Every once in a while the screen blinks but that's all. I also tried to power off the tablet but every time it restarts itself. The only way to shut it off seems to be waiting for the battery to drain.
Is there a way I could possibly save this tablet, installing some new ROM on it? Thanks!

Anyone?

Bad situation! Hope you can make a "buster99" to get on stock rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12).
If you absolutely cannot reach fastboot, replacing the mainboard will be the only one possibility.
