Root Brick Prevention Methods.

[Transfusiionz]

I've been seeing a lot of threads lately about people messing up their Esteems'. Here are a few tips to help prevent having to do a painful amount of work.

First:ALWAYS keep exitrecovery.zip on your sd card.

Second:ALWAYS keep a verified working ROM on your sd card.

Third:READ INSTRUCTIONS! The developers know what they are doing. They post instructions to help make sure people don't brick their 300$ piece of hardware.

Fourth:Make SURE that the rom/theme you are installing is designed for your software version(zva, zvb, zvc, zvd) If you're not sure, ASK! That's what forums are for right?

Fifthon't be stupid, use common sense. Alot of teens think they won't get cancer from smoking because they think it can't happen to them, IT WILL.
If a theme says it's for a different software version, DON'T CHANCE IT!

Six:ALWAYS! ALWAYS! Make a backup and keep it safe! This is extremely important! It only takes 5 minutes and it can save you money/time, not to mention a huge pain in the ***...

Hope this helps some of the newer people here.

Yea, i wiped data and I didn't have a backup or anything. it was hell lol, took me soo long to set up lgnpst to reinstall zvb, after that, i always keep backups and all that on my sd card. saved me multiple times lol, but i still have the program set up just in case

Good tips.. Another one is to get a micro sd reader / adapter for your PC.. They come in handy if you can't download to your phone for some reason or another..

Also copy your backup to your PC..
