Most devices aren't actually brickable because they can have their bootloader and encryption keys rewritten when plugged into a computer via processes like DFU.

The procedure would be boot, start loading a patsy profile, mash up the stored keys for the volumes encryption and reboot. Or just delete the non-patsy profile.
