If the part of the bootloader that takes care of loadinig the new kernel/image/whatever from USB is damaged and also fails to load the kernel (in fact the device is bricked), then the processor has to be cold flashed and the MMC doesn't help. So yes, there are (very limited) situations when the device can be bricked for good. But iirc somebody has posted inistructions on how to access the serial port. However the whole process wouldn't be exactly straightforward since i'm not sure if the flasher tool that is made public can address cold flashing. -- Cheers, Igor Igor Stoppa <igor.stoppa at nokia.com> (Nokia M - OSSO /Helsinki Finland)
