Default Bricked G2X

GUYS HELP PLEASE I nullifed my device, left it on all night (unplugged) because I fell asleep. Now, I can't boot to CWM.. I've tried to install stock recovery, but once I turn it on it just stays on the plain, white LG logo. If I hold down volume down + power buttons the same thing happens. Can you guys help me please. I hope I didn't permanently brick my G2X.

Try this method, this will bring your phone back to life. Make sure you root your phone again and install CWM.

Hey guys, I rooted my friends G2x and everything went fine until I flashed the ROM. Like an idiot, I did not make a nandroid backup...I downloaded BionixReloaded and up it on the sd card. Rebooted to recovery and went through the usual steps. I did a factory reset and formatted the system. However, when I went to flash the ROM, I got the "E: Can't open /sdcard/zROM/*name of ROM*.zip (bad). Now the phone won't reboot which I'm assuming is from formatting the system. I can still get into recovery and download mode....will this method fix the problem? http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=1248644#

Like I said, I'm not very familiar with the G2x, so any help be be appreciated!
