Bricked my phone - But recovered

[catchacold]

I dont know if I should of put this in the how to litchen thread or what - Anyway -

I tried to do some edits to "my" rom (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46738)


I did the following to V1.2
- Added voice command
- Changed Opera favorites
- Added Voice recorder
- Change Opera homepage to about:blank
- Removed Obex Inbox
- Didnt choose a carrier


I also delted the following Other - Esmertec Jbed Java 0.0.20080912.5 out of the OEM folder.


But I didnt choose a carrier this time and I also added these new regedits

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM]
"ROMVersion1"="1.2"
"ROMVersion"="Catchacold"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today]
"Skin"="\\Windows\Htc black.tsk"

I was able to recover by the Power/Volume down/reset button and flash back to my 1.1 ROM and I am up and running.

But I am wondering why the phone got bricked in the first place??


TIA
