Way back in the day I bricked my Wii, I must have installed some bad IOSs or something, but it gave the "Error has occured" screen upon boot. Luckily I had BootMii installed and a backup on hand to recover

My old Samsung Galaxy.

It was stuck in boot screen, and recovery wasn't working.
Cause was unknown.

It was too big.... so I literally tried to sit on it to make it fit in.

But how did your psp brick?
Shoving something way bigger than the hole you're using is a bad idea.

Nothing yet, knock on wood. But I always make sure I have a NAND backup of the system just in case so if anything goes wrong, I can always flash it back.

 

[DarkFlare69]

I've been hacking stuff since i was 8 and never bricked anything or even came close to bricking

Yeah, if you do your homework and research, it's often hard to mess it up.

 

[Real_Redwolf]

I've never bricked any device I've ever owned.

 

[CIAwesome526]

ive never bricked. ive broken stuff, and ive fixed bricks. the closest thing to a brick ive had was dropping my 3ds in the ocean and i turned it on (on accident, i thought it was on and i was turning it off), and it started booting but the nand must have shorted and it showed the screen youd get after a brick or a bad hard mod. The 3ds blod. I have also updated emuNAND to an unsupported version.

 

[DarkFlare69]

Yeah, however i didn't do real hacking that can cause potential bricking until about 4 years ago. Before that it was all action replay codes and flashcarts

Nothing because i'm not a moron.

The connectors kinda broke, and the plastic around too. It wouldn't hold my normal battery anymore for more than a few seconds before shutting off. God if only I knew what scotch tape was back then

same, some stuff is so simple idk how they can mess it up.

Step 5: Reflash the nand.bin we backed up from earlier

Idiot: Ok, I'll copy the homebrew launcher and rename it to nand.bin and flash that

 

[FTRBND]

thats not a brick its a break.

A brick is technically when it becomes just as useful as a brick.
