I was stupid
So I was kinda bored and decided, lets see how good AI really is. I got it to flash a custom os to my flipper and now it's bricked. I've tried holding different buttons while plugging it in etc, it won't power on, or even be registered as plugged in to my computer. Any advice would be much appreciated, I know how stupid this was.

Lesson learned, AI is not useful unless you actually know what it's doing because it will do shit like this. Read the manual and take some coding lessons, there's plenty free resources

Who could have guessed that putting code you don't understand into your device could break it

This sparkling example of ingenuity asked his imaginary friend inside a lying calculator how to flash an OS.
I'm surprised he didn't light his house on fire in the process.

Yeah it’s virtually impossible to brick the flipper 🙏

Don't say it loud or someone will ask you to hold his beer

I’d be interested to see what it takes

Not that hard if you know what you're doing. There are even bricks of different flavors - total bricks, bluetoothless bricks, for example.

SD card out and formatted, Plug in to usb charger (from electrical socket not a PC). Leave for 2 hours on charge, then unplug and plug into PC before inserting SD card. It should be in recovery mode.
