Viva Las Vegas!
Well, my G2x woke me up last night, way sooner than the alarm was set to.

At 4AM, while on the charger my phone went into an endless bootloop. it would boot over and over and the boot sound woke me up at 4 AM. It did it over 10 times, I pulled the battery 3 different times and it didn't help. Unplugged it for about 10 minutes and tried again. Nothing would work.

I then did Volume down and held Power and it did a hard reset and wiped the device. Now after that it finally booted, but it booted after a hard reset and it was still rooted, market added Rom manager back for me, so I booted into recovery and did a Nandroid restore. All at 4 AM. Yup. Ridiculous. LG needs to "learn" Android a little better, this almost AOSP struggles. So does that make sense that a Vol - and power hard reset it would boot and be rooted?

Factory Reset doesn't uninstall root for me neither.
