Okay. Here is the issue. My phone, which already 2 years old as of writing this, is stuck in a boot loop. This matter was preceded by the phone running hot and fast battery drain. I was about to do some back up of the phone before this happened. I really would like to know what I can do and if I have any way to recover the data that was on the phone and if the repair is too costly, I will seek a replacement instead. My phone is on the latest release of iOS if that helps with my case.
The only thing you could try would be installing a new battery as the one you have could be faulty that is why it is boot looping and getting hot. Besides that you would need to put the logic board into a known good housing to rule out parts. Although it sounds like you have a problem with the logic board and to recover the data would cost around $300 just make sure it is a reputable repairer you send it to if you go down this path.
