Mine hasn't had this problem in months. Whatever was causing it seems to have stopped.

I want to ask @lemonfugu what exactly are the steps to place what files at what exact place. Your help will be greatly appreciated. I have the same overheating problem.

My issue is, my phone is completely drained,.
as if, there's no red light or flashing red light at all..
I also try to charge it overnight, yet it won't still work,..

I'm also aware that my charger connector is kind of loose, I'm not really sure if the internal connector(somewhere where you can plug the charger connector) or the connector itself.

can anyone give me some advice?
should I but a new charger? or buy a new battery? or anything else?

I may be completely off, but mine does this when I let my battery completely die and suits the phone off. Here what I have to do. After a little charging time, take the phone to a well lite room,then hold power and volume Down, till the 3 buttons quit flashing, then let off the power and hold the down volume. That puts you in the bootloader, then go to fast boot then scroll down to reboot to reboot the phone. It comes up ever time for me......Wizzrah showed me that a while back. He is a genius on these phones!!

Thanks. That was a one time thing though. Most people freak out when they see the lights flashing at the bottom. Like you said, you just have to hold the power button until they stop blinking. You don't necessarily have to boot into bootloader. Sometimes the phone will boot after that simply by holding the power button.

Buying a new battery will void the warranty if it is still active. If the charger connector is loose, it might be that it isn't charging properly. You can try getting a new one or borrowing another charger from some other device. What happens when you hold the power button for a while?

[killerlambo]

This trick was useful but after doing it a few days ago its proving to be a problem whenever i play games the CPU would normally over heat whereas after this trick it never... instead of overheating it decided to constantly crash and restart even as i am typing now it is still crashing and it is beginning to annoy me lots now because i cannot make full use of my phone.. actually i cannot make any use of my phone because as soon as it loads it crashes again please i need help. it has restarted aprox 50 - 60 times now since i done it and i done it 6 days ago.
