I am only posting this to give fair warning to anybody that is going to flash or modify their phone.  In the last couple of weeks, there have been many people coming to this forum with soft-bricked phones.  Well, they would be recoverable but low battery issues will not allow them to fastboot their phones back to stock.  Now, they're stuck with a true brick or having to order a factory adapter.  There is a reason that the devs put a warning about having a charged battery in their install instructions.

PLEASE, BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, CHARGE YOUR PHONE!

Oh, and make sure you are using the correct utility for the version of software on your phone.  For example, for the M you'll need 1.10 for 4.1.1 and 1.20 for 4.1.2.  There are many other utilities out there, for different phone/software versions.  Please make sure you read the entire post, before attempting to use a utility.

A couple instances of wrong utility. Sometimes in all the excitement, rushing can cause mistakes lol. Especially now that we're unlocked. It pays to read an entire thread before proceeding into uncharted territory. Luckily, there are plenty of patient experienced users to help sort things out for the new influx of folks. :-). Thanks everyone!

Nothing happened to me.  I've just noticed that a lot of these "brick" posts are the result of using the incorrect utility.  It's even more prevalent on XDA.

That has a lot to do with the vast amount of knowledgeable and helpful members on this site! Also if you have an issue its easier to find info here because the people running it have the site way mor organized ! IMO
