Re: How does the EVO become a "bricked" phone
"bricking" describes a device that cannot function in ANY capacity (such as a device with damaged firmware)......
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. CW

Also, have you tried pulling the battery then putting it back in. Then hold Volume Down while you power on the phone? Does it do anything besides a black screen? For everyone else, I'm pretty sure it's almost impossible to brick the evo. Getting stuck somewhere is possible, but bricking it is very hard. You don't do anything during any of the steps that will affect the bootloader screen. On Windows Mobile it was easy to brick devices because you changed the bootloader to get full access. If you load the wrong bootloader, or interupt the process while it's changing the bootloader, your phone is bricked. That's not the case on Android. In fact, someone posted in my thread that they were flashing a rom and the phone fell off the desk and the battery popped out and turned the phone off, in the middle of flashing. They just had to go into bootloader and start flashing again. So, since the bootloader screen stays the same, you can always get to it and flash a different rom or push files or use adb shell to fix whatever mess you made.

Re: How does the EVO become a "bricked" phone
yea like FastX said its pretty much impossible to brick this phone my second time flashing a rom the battery fell out on me (cus to my Gf "dont touch it!" apparently means "pick it up an try to comprehend wuts going on"..i jus simply started over. If anyone really really bricks this phone... then i say they worked very hard to achieve just that.
