SwitcherMod. Fantastic tweak.

 

Doesn't sound like you "bricked" your phone if you were able to restore it...

 

you didn't brick your phone!

 

People here don't like the over liberal use of the word "brick" as it connotes a perma-stuff up of your phone.

 

I wish people would stop complaining and understand when someone says they "bricked" their iPhone, that it means it's stuck in the endless boot cycle.

Next time when someone says they bricked the iPhone, don't complain. You know what they mean. Deal with it. Now lay off the guy about that and quit straying off the topic.

Was switchermod what you were looking for?

 

agreed, calm down people. Some people on here lack social skills, nerds. But i believe switcher mod is the right thing.

 

Because it's like saying you totaled your car if you put a 1" scratch on it. The word 'bricked' has a meaning and when people use it incorrectly they get corrected. It's not just to point out the persons ignorance of the definition of the word, it's to make clarifications when people or searching at a later time. If they don't get corrected people actually start to believe bricking is possible.

If somebody does truly brick their iPhone then we all have to be way more careful. At this point I dont think anybody has with the exception of coincidental hardware failure.
Its not a term that should be loosely thrown around like it is.

 

Such a good point. It seems more people than not use 'brick' this way. The word has essentially come to mean 'endless boot cycle.' All the "Oh, no you di-int!" is so unhelpful.

 

It's an improper use of the term.
Brick = dead phone... period.

Perpetuating the improper use is pure laziness.

Getting stuck in a boot cycle is just that... stuck, not bricked.
Call it what it is.

 

I think that has something to do with the fact that its now darn-near impossible to "brick" an iOS device in the classic sense of the word. Bricks aren't the result of erroneous software installations very often anymore and are more often related to a hardware problem.

I agree with your sentiments on the unhelpful attitudes.
