Warning about SkyRaider from UnrEVOked on Twitter to all DINC owners

A warning: the SkyRaider for the inc has a higher then average chance of causing "USB bricked" devices, we will try to work on a fix.

Subscribed. I have been using Skyraider with no issues. Curious how a ROM can brick your phone... or usb..since you can just do a nandroid.

Ok found this, doesnt apply to our phone but is info on usb bricking.

i go back and forth between Sky and CM6 with no issues. I just figured I'd give people a heads up since it popped up on my twitter

I installed the latest vanilla skyraider, didn't like it so I wiped it and then put on the aiccus ROM. When I attach my phone to my computer it will not bring up the SD card or internal storage in my computer. Instead it brings up a CD drive. In the USB tray icon it still shows two removable disks and the CD drive does skip the letters that were assigned to those two drives. I can still take screenshots of the phone using the SDK.

I think this is the brick, if it's not I'd appreciate someone telling me how I can get my computer to recognize the phone again.

This happened to me too with the sense skyraider. I then set the connection to Disk Drive. Both SD and phone memory came up then.
