There Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I rooted it and installed Cyanogen Mod. I love it so far! So much smoother than TouchWiz! So... I'm bored. You guys have any recommendations for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I should probably stop being lazy and root my razr maxx already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex From Security Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I bricked my S4 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 I bricked my S4 lol I almost did. If I did, I would have to go out and buy a Micro SD card, so it wouldn't be that bad. I didn't wipe /data or /system or whatever (lol i don't know anything about roots) when I flashed my phone with Cyanogen, and it wouldn't boot. So I went back and wiped it, but lost my ROM. I thought that I would have to flash again in order for it to work, and I had just deleted my ROM. But I didn't. Oh well. And I guess it wouldn't be a brick. Just a typical error caused by my impatience. And do you have any recovery installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lit my S4 on fire and moonshined a DroidDNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex From Security Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Ah. Well, that sucks. Did you have to pay the full price for the DNA? $90 for the phone + otterbox case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 $90 for the phone + otterbox case. Oh, that's not that bad. Most high end smartphones are around $600, and they're around $200 with a two year contract. (although I've been seeing a lot of ads on YouTube about that being changed), and if you screw your phone up, you have to pay the full price, right?

Most warranties will either fix it for free (if it was a fault of the phone). Or charge you $50 (bestbuy), $99 (Verizon) to outright replace it.

Pyrocide Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 i fried my first HTC One through rooting it. Stuck a faulty 110 plug into the wall and shocked the shit out of it melting the microusb port. Got a free replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuck a faulty 110 plug into the wall and shocked the shit out of it melting the microusb port. Got a free replacement. You bought an HTC One? And how did you fry it through rooting it? It sounds like it was a faulty cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
