I have TWRP installed. Thanks for the links. It looks like this will be simpler than I thought. I'm a little paranoid about bricking my phone as I only bought i

  It's generally really hard to truly brick a phone these days. People throw around the term like it's lost all meaning - usually when someone says they "bricked" their device, they're meaning that "it was moderately inconvenient to recover and I lost my data". Not that it's a literal brick that they now put in the garbage bin. If you've got recovery, you've got an easy path to getting it up and running again. Just reflash your ROM, a different ROM, a stock ROM, whatever. If you hose your recovery, you boot your phone into fastboot/odin/heimdall/etc mode which is built into the phone's firmware. From there, you can still flash images to the internal partitions to replace your recovery/system/anything else. I don't wanna be the guy that doesn't include the "there's always risk" warning on his instructions, but if you're just flashing back and forth between ROMs the worst I'd ever expect you to mess up is wiping your internal storage and photos by accident.

    Fantastic. Thanks for the info. Like I said, the last time I had done this was a few years ago when the risk of "bricking" a device seemed a bit more real. I'm glad to know that getting TWRP installed was a good move.
