Please tell me there’s a fix for this. While I was installing Avast Mobile in the first place, it never warned me that my phone would become a paperweight if I didn’t do it their way. There needs to be a better warning about this! Now my phone won’t turn on at all. No screen activity whatsoever!
I didn’t do a root install.
Hmmm… Did you remove the battery and you still can’t boot your phone?
Never mind, redundant issues + user error. Seems that I had a bad charger and the battery died just before I rebooted, so it looked like it was bricked but really wasn’t… :-[
Believe me, it’s very hard to brick a phone… A misleading term that we (I include myself) tend to use earlier than it happens (fortunately).
