Hi,
I have just bricked my device.It stucks at the man-under-the-tree picture when boot up and can not be recognized by computer.When I connected it with serial , it has no response.What should I do now?

What I did before it bricks:
1.Mounted the filesystem to rw (and probably forgot to mount it back)
2.Updated the busybox(extracted from https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ricson.busybox works normally before it bricks)
3.Installed pip using get-pip.py and installed ftpdlib
4.Changed iptables rules(-A INPUT -i wlan0 -j ACCEPT)
5.Transferred some book to it with ftpdlib
6.Put a screenshot in the linkss folder,and enabled screensavers hack
7.Reboot and BOOM

Which step will probably brick the device?I would appreciate it if you can give me some advice.
