Nothing is permanently broken though. At some point you can start reflashing chips and replacing internal components. Bricked has always meant the device is inoperable and beyond easy repair.
- tredre3 2y agoWhen the flashing process fails and it leaves the flash corrupted, it's often impossible to do any further flashing attempts. Good products have an immutable factory partition to recover, but not all of them do. So I think it's unfair to claim that those devices aren't bricked just because yes, in theory, you can open the device and reflash the chip over SPI or JTAG.
- blueflow 2y agoYour parent implied that whether a device is bricked depends on the skillset of the user. So if its subjective, there isn't much point in arguing "when" its bricked, right?
