I say this from general knowledge, not having used any of the Fire tools specifically.

(I still maintain that if you can 'unbrick' something, short of opening it up and replacing components, it was never really bricked.)
Well, if it won't turn on and I can't figure out how to fix it, it's bricked for me. I agree that's a pseudo brick condition, but for me, it's pretty well bricked.
