"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Android is the community, which has a huge count of user all over the world . But most of them stay away from rooting and modding , because they don't need a bricked device . Due to the less security , only some touches can make your expensive device into a paper weight .

Here I am explaining some tutorials that may help you to unbrick your device . Anyway doing a hard reset before anything is a better idea .

1 . The first step is to enter to the recovery mode . It may vary devices to devices. I will explain it here .

* Switch off / shut down your device

* Press Volume up + volume down + home + power buttons simultaneously and wait for the boot logo. ( Some combinations are given in the first method . Take a look )

2 . Do a factory reset and wipe data cache & dalvic cache using the recovery mode . (wiping battery stats isn't necessary, but doing it make no problem)

3 . Choose Reboot

What you need ???
