Default First brick! Holla!

Oh yea, the first brick on the block.

I was experimenting with stock rom modification through ADB and within the OS itself. We still can't flash anything with the "backdoor" CWM that we have at the moment that wasn't even designed for our phone, but it will allow you to do a nandroid backup, so I made sure to back up everything in case I did something stupid. Well, I did something stupid. So stupid in fact that I can't get back into recovery, I just hang at the initial boot screen. So I'm kind of glad an odin TAR file is being worked ok. I think I'm going to need it. Oh well, no progress without failure.

TO THE BACKUP PHONE! *cue the batman music*
My Phones:
Nokia 3120 - Threw into the street
Motorola Razr V3M - Sold
PPC-6700 (Apache) - Dropped a monitor on it
T-Mobile MyTouch 3G - Gave to Mother-In-Law
Samsung Vibrant - Sold
Samsung Galaxy S 4G - Deodexed KD1 Enhanced v1.5 - Gingerspice theme

I did the same exact thing yesterday. I forgot to use the stock tar. and my first superbrick ever. Won't even turn on period...Sent in for an exchange to Wal-Martwire dot com. Normally Walmart is cool about taking things back (even if it's torn to shreds.) so we shall see if they're gonna notice.
