Root [Verizon] Tell me what I'm doing!!

[andrea50mason]

hey how do i check to see if my phone is, without a don't bricked? My s4 is rooted via towelrooT stock ROM I'm assuming cuz I didn't do anything extra after towelroot besides Rootchecker and titanium. Phone was rooted for 2 weeks give or take a few days, then started getting Laggy and warm wgile charging then after a day or so started blinking on and off randomly then getting stuck at Verizon start screen for a while then coming back on and now today its not even doing the occasional power on. Just stuck at white Verizon screen. Before going out it was giving error message system process not responding.... please help should I reroot or what do I do??

have you got rid of the verizon bloatware, or quarantined them ? Get Titanium Backup and backup all user and system apps. Then you can freeze ( Quarantine ) them. That will will give you more available memory. Do you have a case on your s4 ? some of the cheaper cases do not allow proper ventilation, and your phone may overheat. I rooted my verizon s4 running kk 4.4.3 nc5 with towelroot and have not had any problems at all.
Another good idea would be to install safestrap and do a backup , that way if something does happen, you can restore your phone .

Also keep track of what apps are running in the background and dont turn on gps or wifi unless you need them . Use the task manager and clear memory under the ram manger. more apps running mean the cpu is working harder and will heat up.

Thanks Graham those are good apps for rooted phones. I actually can't even get it out of Bootloop now. I have titanium on it already. I can get it in download mode but haven't had a PC to try and flash a new rom but ironically enough I will have.one in just a few
