    “Bricked” in the title feels a bit of a clickbait. In my interpretation if something is bricked, it won’t just start working again after a few hours.

    RIP my precious HTC Desire…

      The headline is clickbait.

      • Bricked = totally dead, no recovery without serious intervention; device is completely unusable
      • Malfunctioning = buggy, slow, or misbehaving, but still fixable

      HTC had quite a run there. I still miss my HTC One X, back when it was actually interesting to get a new phone. These days I routinely forget which iPhone it is that I have.
