Water damage story.......insight wanted.

I bought a friend of mine a LG G2 and within a couple weeks she managed to have it take a drink. The horror on my face was, well, horrifying when i was told. Anyways about the phone.........

She knew to immediately put the phone in rice which she did.a few days later i get the phone into my hands, moment of truth right? First thing i did was to take it apart and see if there's any corrosion on the board or any leftover residue which i found none. reassembled the device and plugged it in for........well i dont know why, i just did. I read online if the phone shuts off immediately after contact with water your chances are good. Anyways the phone showed signs of life. It began booting up past the LG logo to the boot animation of "Desolation ROM" where it freezes and than loops freezing at different times of the boot logo.

Download mode works so i decided to flash the KDZ 20C. The phone boots up entirely into the OS and works with few *issues. Two things i have problems with, the internal storage doesnt appear** on the computer regularly, and i must "adb reboot recovery" a few times before it successfully will boot into recovery. but i can manage with that. I rooted it through sideload, installed autoRec and got TWRP flashed and working. I did flash the new TWRP so that it mounts the storage to computer. anyways so i went to flash the rom, Desolation, Resurrection Remix, and Bliss pop with the same issues. ive dont everything multiple times already to no avail.

Ideas? anyone?

*issues: it thinks the headphone are plugged it and rapidly cycles the animation.
** it varies from one flash of the KDZ to the other :confused::confused: i can "adb Push file /sdcard/"

Does T-Mobile log phone damage when you bring the phone in?

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to ask this but I'm just going to ask here anyway.

So about a day ago I was taking my phone in to upgrade to a new one and was going to swap it out but apparently there's a sticker near the battery that turns pink if it comes in contact with water. I had no idea about this and I was confused as to why my sticker was pink when It hasn't been in water at all.

They basically said they couldn't accept it so I ended up going home to do some some research. I found out that you can turn it white again using a little bleach, so that's what I did. The sticker is white again but now I'm worried that they may have logged that the device had water damage when they first looked at my phone, does anyone know If they do this normally?
