It's sad reading all these threads about bricked devices. Thankfully I have yet to join that group. Why? Because I spend a lot of time reading and re-reading threads that don't make complete sense to me; hoping someone will post something that clicks in my head.
My first venture into the world of flashing was with my vz galaxy nexus. To say I was I little more than nervous is a serious understatement.
Since then, the nexus 5 and now the nexus 6 have both been unlocked and rooted successfully because I've read so much on these forums that I need glasses. One bootloop from flashing the first 5.1 image on the nexus 6 is, thankfully, the only issue I've had. I was seriously flipping out thinking I've spent 600+ for a paper weight.
An hour or so later, after A LOT more reading, I was up and running.
I am by no means a computer/ Android genius. I've seen the help, commands screen scroll in a terminal window more times than I'd like to admit because I was typing faster than I was thinking. The one command I have yet to type is fastboot oem lock. Never will either after reading waaaaaay to many threads about people bricking their devices.
Every issue I've ever had, someone else has had as well. The answers I need have always been in a thread or 2.
The answers are here if you take the time to look for them. :)
Be cool. Be safe and happy flashing!
