-We likely have some fun stuff here! 
+In the new year, I'll focus on ways to avoid a permanent brick, and making flashable PKGs to ease every installs and mods. 
 
-Note on 12/12/2018: (T_T sad news) I have soft-bricked my DPT and based on it's current stage it couldn't recover. Unfortunately, mine is out of warranty and I'm not paying over $400 more for a replacement (talked to S.O.N.Y. about this). I would appreciate some donations so I can afford the cost. But if not, it's okay, as we also get many talented others, and we got the Taobao PKGs. I'll also ask friends to look at bricked device from the hardware side. 
+Greatly thank all who donated. Thanks for being supportive to all and we are a great community. Happy new year!
 
-Things that would greatly help new comers:
-- [ ] Flashsable PKGs without going into diagnosis mode (checkout the example [here](https://github.com/HappyZ/dpt-tools/tree/master/fw_updater_packer_unpacker/pkg_example))
-- [ ] A clean system modification over taobao PKGs (as they have validations.. check [#37](https://github.com/HappyZ/dpt-tools/issues/37))

-Thanks for your understanding, and thank all who donated. Keep up the active discussions in XDA and Issues section here. Meanwhile, please all have a great Christmas!
+Note on 12/28/2018: :D great news! My DPT is alive (not in my hand yet)! I'll be much more careful in the new year.
