yeah, i went looking later to refresh my memory and it's something to do with the flash chips becoming corrupt or something.  (maybe my own flash is corrupted, heh.)

anyway, it turns out that maybe a lot of the ones previously thought to be bricked can be rescued by exploiting some kind of USB protocol parsing bug in the non-flashable firmware and using that to boot to a tool which will let you reflash the corrupted segments that caused the bricking in the first place.

if you're interested peek at udpih on github.
