      Most devices aren’t actually brickable because they can have their bootloader and encryption keys rewritten when plugged into a computer via processes like DFU.

      The procedure would be boot, start loading a patsy profile, mash up the stored keys for the volumes encryption and reboot. Or just delete the non-patsy profile.

          I don’t think you understand how low-level DFU can be. The device can have a wiped emmc and you’d still be able to talk to it and start reflashing it.

          There are some devices where the USB firmware and bootloader are in mask rom.
