In the clear?

In theory, the only time that you couldn't brick a Droid, is if it's already bricked...

 

It's actually pretty easy to brick your Droid. If you install a ROM without wiping, sometimes you will get a boot loop.

Bricking isn't really a big deal - the worst part about it is that, in order to fix your phone, you have to wipe your data.

 

i highly recommend getting titanium backup. it backs up all of your apps and their corresponding data plus much more. i bricked me phone already and it was very easy to recover it. i used motorola's RSD Lite and an SBF file to revert to factory than i installed a rooted update.zip. From there, you just install rom manager and you can get back to playing with various roms.

 

If you can fix it its not a brick.

 

thank you, I was about to say people really need to learn the meaning of the term bricking. The only time you can truly brick a droid is with a bad SBF flash which will render it useless.

I agree, to me "brick" means that it is unrecoverable, and can from then on only be used as a paperweight. From what I understand bricking is pretty hard to do if you follow many of the great guides here carefully.
Boot loop is the worst I've experienced and i fixed it by just wiping and recovering. Definitely not a brick.

 

I'd like to know that too. Cause it seems like even if someone released a malicious rom, it would still be potentially easy to recover from.
