Bricked by 7.1.1

I wish people would stop using the term "bricked" every time something doesn't work right.



File didn't copy right? BRICKED! Upgrade failed? BRICKED! Can't get your wallpaper "just right"? BRICKED!



If it isn't working right, just reboot and/or DFU restore. Good as new.



Here's a tip:



If you can simply reboot or reinstall your OS to make things work again, YOUR DEVICE IS NOT BRICKED.



A bricked device isn't fixable by any normal means. People try soldering or connecting JTAG cables or other weird, non-standard fixes to un-brick a device. It's an insult to anyone who actually has dealt with a bricked device to claim your device is "bricked" when all it takes is a simple button push in iTunes to get it working again.
