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

How did you even manage to break a phone made these days?

The Chinese children that built this did a pretty shocking job. The factory installed adhesive that connected the screen to the rest of the phone was weak as shit so a 20cm drop was all it took.

I think it's understandable for anyone to hate them, even fellow country men
