Decided to channel my inner Hugh Jeffreys yesterday and replace the screen on a phone what i broke ages ago. The repair itself was actually pretty fun, albeit not perfect, and it worked really well for all of 30 minutes before i tried flashing a new custom rom onto it. In my finite wisdom, i tried to reboot back into the recovery menu, only to find out that the new rom had overwritten the previous recovery menu and replaced it with nothing. It's boot looping now and i haven't found a way to make it stop :) I've unplugged the battery in the hopes that it might sort itself out after a day or two, but otherwise there's a way to flash the stock firmware back on that didn't work.
Sucks too. Despite the fact that it's like the quintessential pov indian c*nt phone, it has reasonably good specs considering how much it cost and there doesn't look to be much on the market that fits my incredibly narrow definition of a good phone is (doesn't look offensively ugly). anyways if you'll excuse me i'm going to start a phone repair kiosk in a shopping centre now

I remember doing something similar with my OG modchipped Xbox where I fricked something up. Had to buy a new motherboard, solder an eeprom flasher to my old motherboard, then to the new motherboard and flash the old eeprom onto the new chip, because otherwise the HDD or DVD drive wouldn't be recongised.
Point is, it's only broken if you give up now.
