 has anyone tried getting a coldcard working after being bricked? i'm curious what "bricked" means? can i replace the secure element myself and have a new coldcard from there?

 I highly doubt it would be cheaper to do that… if even possible… than to buy a new one

 Generally the answer to this is no. Almost all hardware wallets are paired to the mcu to the secure element.

So hww are realizing this is not a great UX, however it is good for sales.

So I think there are some HWW working on be factory reset able.

But yeah, I don't follow coldcard but my guess is you are screwed.

 I’m just curious how one goes about bricking one.

 at least I didn't lose any funds. just pissed that it bricked itself instead of wiping itself and leaving itself usable again
