Hey guys, I have a 3 day old T-mobile G5 that is sim unlocked and rooted. Phone was working perfect until this afternoon. While playing Hitman:Sniper, a multi-colored band covered the screen as it locked up. I couldn't get it to do anything at that point, so I pulled the battery. I rebooted, locked up, shut down, and now appears to be dead as dead. Nothing I do will get it to power up.
So here's my questions about sending this in to LG for warranty repair.
1. Since it's completely dead (PMIC from what I'm reading), will LG be able to replace that chip, power it up, and realize that the phone was rooted, thereby voiding the warranty? Or will they just trash the main board due to the fact it probably costs about $.03 and pop a new one in?
2. My other concern is sending this in without wiping the data first. Will they be able to pull up all of my personal/private data if they do power it up somehow?
Not sure I have any choice but to take a gamble on this as it's a paperweight at the moment, but just figured someone would have some info on this stuff.
Thanks!
