things that can brick, damage android phone and how to prevent it

==> rooting android phone

for sure, rooting android phone has been one of the major problem that has bricked so many peoples phone.this is because some rooting tweak may not be compatible with the android phone or device you are performing it on thus renders the phone into bootloop.some rooting application like adb and fastboot, oneclick root, odin are meant to be used on supported device like htc, samsung galaxy, sony experia, lg, techno android etc which may not also be compatible with other device from the same manufacturers.so when trying to root your phone, it is advisable to always read the instruction and take note of the kind of android phone or device they used the hacks on.

for most htc and Sony experia phones, you are expected to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery like clockworkmod recovery, twrp, wildchild, ext4 before finally flashing or installing super user or superSU.this way you get to make a nandroid backup should in case every thing didn't go well.

this is why i always advice people to make a nandroid backup because the unexpected may happen, so to avoid this, it is best to make a complete system backup of the phone which you can restore easily without stress.

==> installing unsupported apps or games

installing of unsupported apps and games can brick your android phone.in fact it is also another major problem that has rendered so many android phone useless especially if the phone is not rooted.some apps or games may not be compatible with the android OS version your phone is running, some apps may require you are running android version 2.3 or 4.1 before installing, so if you installed an application or game that requires 4.0 upward and your phone is running 2.3, you may end up causing damage to that phone.so many people have been complaining that chain fire 3d, android window 7 theme has rendered their phone useless by bricking it.

well, this is because the application may not be compatible with the android OS version you are using or it may be due to application errors.so you have to take time to read instruction on the apps or games you want to install before downloading it because most at times they do specify the android OS version it may work with, take note of that.

==> low battery when performing root, tweak, hacks etc

so many of us are fond of making the mistake of rooting, tweaking, installing stuffs on their phone without considering the battery level of their phone.just imagine what will happen if you are trying to root your phone and in the process of rooting, the phone goes off due to low battery, the worse aspect is that this can brick the phone because some things that were suppose to be installed on the system folder of the phone were interrupted and thus may cause bootloop problem.

same also goes when installing an application or games, in the process, if the phone goes off, it may damage it.so always charge your phone to a reasonable battery level 70-80 percent before performing any root, tweak, hacks.

so i won't advice you to do any installing and rooting when the phone battery is below 20 percent.

==> using the wrong command via adb and fastboot

so many of us makes use of adb and fastboot to perform so many operation on our android phone or device such as rooting, flashing, push and pull, unlocking etc.in the process of doing all this, one may cause damage on their phone as a result of using the wrong command via adb and fastboot.so my advice is to always cross check the command line you are about to make before pressing the enter key else you may have yourself to be blamed.that's all.ENJOY.
