    yeah, it should log in to a patsy account and start bricking the other profile in the background, then hard power off and restart in a bricked, reflashable state.

      If you truly brick something… You’re not reflashing it…

        Most devices aren’t actually brickable because they can have their bootloader and encryption keys rewritten when plugged into a computer via processes like DFU.

        The procedure would be boot, start loading a patsy profile, mash up the stored keys for the volumes encryption and reboot. Or just delete the non-patsy profile.

          Again if you truly brick a device you’re not going to be able to establish any sort of connection to it without ahhh manual overrides…
