Statement of the Day 5

"Pick and Choose your clients, as they have picked and chosen you!"

Background: When I tell people I study computers, I often get ridiculously hard problems to solve. I got one of those from a friend, about his Android phone. Some techie wiped out his phone and has left me to get everything back.

Fortunately, stuff is still on his SD card, so I thought it was just a matter of restoring it. But when I did restore it, the wifi did not work at all. This was frustrating to no end. I told him to go upgrade his android.

It didn't work.

So he comes back and shows me his phone-brick. Now I knew I shouldn't have told him to do anything!
The phone cannot even go into Recovery Mode now. 

But seriously, Android. How can you make updating possible to screw up? It's just nasty.
