Anyone here a big tinkerer? Managed to brick my android phone today when I was booted into custom recovery and hit "boot into slot b". Phone's useless now. I tried to use blankflash to fix it but it wasn't available for my phone so I used one for a similar phone and now my partitions are broken. First time I've straight up bricked a phone. I've bricked/broken a few other devices too
>Android tablet (Tried to remove battery that was non removable and in the process it wouldn't work anymore even when the battery was put back
>3DS (flashed new 3DS on old 3DS when I was transferring devices)
>Macintosh CRT (was trying to resolder pins and blew the electron gun)
>More than a few appliances that I took apart and didn't know how to put back together.
And of course I used linux for years, and always struggled. My life got a lot easier when I moved to mac os, but even on my macbook I nearly broke the thing when I removed the keycaps to clean them and realized they weren't really replacable so I had to take apart the whole thing and order a new keyboard and of course the fist one I ordered was for the wrong model so half the keys didn't work and apple puts rivets in their keyboards now so I had to superglue everything and in the process cracked the bottom of the display so now some of the circuit board is showing.
Maybe I should get a dumbphone? I don't know. Being an autist sucks sometimes.

Shouldn't it automatically boot into A if B can't boot? Isn't that the whole reason to have two slots?

I have broken OSes before (for example by dd-ing onto the wrong partition), but I am too nervous about hardware to tinker with it and thankfully avoided bricking so far.

You'd think so... But evidently this is a problem on Motorola phones like the one I have. I guess I should have done my research beforehand, but my old phone had no issues with this. Now I'm kind of screwed since so much of my stuff relies on 2FA and I can't receive messages. The wonders of the modern world indeed
