Re: How does the EVO become a "bricked" phone

You cannot fix "bricking" if your phone works at all its not bricking, this goes for all phones not just the Evo. So, what you can gather from this definition is that when you delete the firmware (like interrupting "flashing" for you WM peps) without installing a new firmware at the same time you can brick your device. Its fairly hard to "brick" your Evo and you really have to try to do it in order to accomplish this. If you are afraid of bricking your device and dont know if what your doing will "brick " it then don't do it.
