I flashed my LG P880 2 days ago over a CM10.1 installation, it worked fine except for an initial crash with turn off.
Then I charged the phone this morning, I think it went on overcharge for less than 1 hour since it was very hot on display side and battery side, and the battery didn't smell well.
After that, no luck turning it on. It's a brick.
If I plug it to a PC I get no devices found and the bottom white LEDs (for the back/home/settings buttons) blinking altogether as a single white bar.
I think this is a voltage problem or a battery software problem.
Please help
Edit: by plugging it without battery and pressing down volume key I could enter S/W Upgrade mode (following this thread)
I will post again later about my efforts; but please still give me some information if you have experience with this type of failures (e.g. is it a voltage settings probelm? a software problem? a hardware problem?)

I allowed the LG official tool to upgrade the software, it downloaded a 582M file from internet and then flashed it.
No luck. I still get the blinking white LED problem.
I will try with another battery, after that I guess it's all burned and gone forever?
Eternity ROM is buggy as hell. Imho it's not stable enough for being a daily driver.
Welcome to the EternityProject!
What do we have here?
CM10.2-EPRJ --- Or... EternityProject's CyanogenMod 10.2 for LG Optimus 4X!
What's the point in using CM10.2-EPRJ?
It contains various optimizations made at compile time. Moreover, it isn't being compiled with the default Android toolchain, but with a custom one that better handles and optimizes the code.
The CM10.2-EPRJ package will also automatically install our EternityProject Kernel 3.4.37.
Recommendations:
Patience is virtue.
Can I use a non-EternityProject Kernel on CM10.2-EPRJ?
For now, it's possible. Absolutely.
Features:
- All the standard CM10.2 Features are enabled
- New, custom toolchain for improved code optimization and better performance
- More to come
ROM Changelog:
Note: If you want to see the stock CM changelog, it's located at http://review.cyanogenmod.com/Code:20131007: - CM repos synced - New EternityProject optimizations (OMGFAST!) - Featuring latest revision of EPRJ kernel 3.4 20130813: - CM repos synced - Mobile data is stabler 20130811: - Stabler baseband - External SDCard now accessible from file managers - MTP finally working 20130810v2: - Stability enhancements for Stagefright - Other misc performance improvements 20130810: - Synced with CM repos - Smoother UI 20130808v2: - Modified EPRJRIL recovery prop - EternityProject RIL Recovery is now enabled by default. - Trials to solve some people's problem with baseband 20130607: - Sync'ed with CM repos on 07/06 - Added further EternityProject optimizations - Solved Camera FC issue - First try for solving the mobile data crash 20130602: - First release.
How-To:
1. Copy the CM10.2-EPRJ and GApps packages on your internal memory
2. If you aren't coming from a previous version of CM10.2-EPRJ, wipe data and cache
3. Flash CM10.2-EPRJ, then flash GApps
4. Reboot
5. Enjoy!
Notes:
1. If you're looking for the Developer Settings menu, tap on "build number" N times (CM will say you when it's done)
2. This ROM doesn't work with CM10.1 kernels
3. (Temporary) If you want working SU/root: become developer (tap "Build number" 7 times in Settings > About phone), go to "Developer options" in settings and set "Root access" to "Apps and ADB".
So, what to download?

I did not read the 122 pages of posts (roughly 1200 posts), but the first one:
No mention of possibility to brick the device. Actually I just verified that the battery is dead, since it gives only 1V. Hopefully in the next days I'll check with another battery to see if device is still alive.
But seriously, the OP does not mention "possible voltage/battery f*ckups". I don't want to be flaming but instead protect other users.
NOTE: we can still say that my device was faulty and it's not because of this ROM, but I don't know how to rule that out and I never had such over-charging issues before, nor smell of burnt plastic from the battery.

I had an idea: perhaps after flashing the device "forgot" how much battery was loaded and thus tried to load it over the top?
Is that even possible? I thought that such low level information would be stored in the battery itself (a la BIOS..)
did u use lg charger? eprj kernel has some supercharging features which allow usb give it more current.. and if it was some custom charger it could give it too much current.. I just guessing..
At time of incident phone was ON, charging was almost complete. I put it in charge for less than 2 hours, and I would have expected less than 30 minutes of charging time to be used (didn't check the battery meter, based on my experience); apparently it was still cooking when I picked it up; I used the unlock/power key to wake it up. It was hot and display glitched off to a weird white pattern with a low volume pop sound from speakers. But I had already heard it in the first case of glitchy sudden crash, so didn't worry.i think it's eprj kernel fault. it's based on original cm 3.1 modified to 3.4, but it has many missing and buggy features. while cm has improved their kernel and fixed the bugs (f.e., at the beginning, cm kernel didnt recognize headphone button press, and it had issues with charging when phone is turned off - it could "burn in" the screen, perhaps even more serious stuff), eprj kernel stayed with same bugs.
You should know that things like this could happen all the time. These ROMs are called custom for a reason as the developers don't give any guarantee for the functions and stability. Not every rom thread has the "I don't take any responsibility for a damage" part as it is quite obvious to every user of XDA. YOU installed a ROM which has no maintainer and is quite bugged. YOU did not take the time to read at least a few pages to know the actual state of this ROM. YOU f*cked up your battery/phone. Sorry to say it this hard but it's your fault and not the fault of any developer.

Perhaps you are missing the main point. I want the OP to be edited to protect other users, I do not care about your "developers' lawyer" argument. Is this a community? YES -> somebody edit the OP

also: you are ignoring the fact I never said it was original developer's fault, but I am asking questions about the nature of the problem to understand better. You are completely ignoring this fact and attacking me with obvious amenities you are used to send to other people as a means of a poor argument (it reads like a prefab answer). There is a term on internet for this, go google it.
For these reasons, I will ignore all your posts since it is clear your intent of flaming what it was a perfectly polite discussion (in the last pages at least) about this new problem I just experienced with this ROM. My problem with the battery is on topic, you - coming here to add nothing useful - is off-topic in my opinion.
