1. Bricked or Not Bricked?

Okay, so you root your G1 or HTC Magic, but then got some problem along the
way, eg. it keeps looping on the bootscreen, I can't turn on my phone, etc.
Then the question pops out.. "Is my phone bricked?" along with the sad
smiley :(So I went to xda-developers forum, to find some answer on "How
would you know if your phone got bricked or not", then I found user @*
youneek*, post something that literally answer my question :D
Here's what he said,

*How to tell if your phone is bricked:*
1.) When you try to turn it on, nothing happens?
2.) Camera+Power does nothing.
3.) Home+Power does nothing.
4.) You flashed the SPL BEFORE the radio
If you answered yes to any of the above 4, you are bricked. You probably
need a new board in the phone. Read more here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516440 It has been
confirmed that you WILL brick your phone if you attempt to downgrade your
radio after flashing the new SPL. Not sure why you would want to anyways...

*How to tell if you just need to re-flash:*
1.) Your phone is stuck on the g1 logo
2.) Your phone is stuck in a boot loop
3.) Home+Power boots into recovery
If you answered yes to the above then you are NOT bricked. You have the G1
Night Light. This is (usually) a very easy fix.

So if your phone encounter some problem, do some checking like so then
you'll know if your phone got bricked or just need to re-flash. Oh just some
note, if you're installing a Hero ROM, sometimes you need to be patient with
the booting screen, it took longer than other ROM (the longest I have been
through is 8 minutes) hahaha.. I cook & eat some noodles while waiting the
ROM to be fully booted up xD

you want to read some more :)

2. how can i pass user define object between service and activity?

I define a class Rect and a aidl file as below:

Rect.java:
package linda.test;
import android.os.Parcel;
import android.os.Parcelable;

public class Rect implements Parcelable {
    public int left;
    public int top;
    public int right;
    public int bottom;

    public static final Parcelable.Creator<Rect> CREATOR = new
Parcelable.Creator<Rect>() {
        public Rect createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
            return new Rect(in);
        }

        public Rect[] newArray(int size) {
            return new Rect[size];
        }
    };

    public Rect() {
    }

    private Rect(Parcel in) {
        readFromParcel(in);
    }

        public int getTop(){
                return top;
        }

    public void writeToParcel(Parcel out, int i) {
        out.writeInt(left);
        out.writeInt(top);
        out.writeInt(right);
        out.writeInt(bottom);
    }

    public void readFromParcel(Parcel in) {
        left = in.readInt();
        top = in.readInt();
        right = in.readInt();
        bottom = in.readInt();
    }

        public int  describeContents  (){
                return 0;
        }
}

Rect.aidl
package linda.test;
import android.os.Parcel;
import android.os.Parcelable;

parcelable Rect;

And then i create a service and aidl file as below:
MyService.java
package linda.test;

import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.util.Log;
import android.content.ContentResolver;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.IntentFilter;

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import android.os.Parcel;
import linda.test.Rest;

public class MyService extends Service {
        public MyService(){
                mService = this;
        }

        public static void startService(final Context context){
                if (mService != null)
                        return;
                context.startService(new Intent(context, MyService.class));
                return;
        }

        public static void stopService(final Context context){
                if (mService == null)
                        return;
                context.stopService(new Intent(context, MyService.class));
                return;
        }

        @Override
        public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
                if (IMyService.class.getName().equals(intent.getAction())){
                        return mBinder;
                }else if (false){

                }
                return null;
        }

        /*
         * Public service interfaces
         */
        private final IMyService.Stub mBinder = new IMyService.Stub(){

                public Rect testSetRect(int a, int b, int c, int d){
                        Rect rect = new Rect();
                        rect.left = a;
                        rect.right = b;
                        rect.top = c;
                        rect.bottom = d;
                        return rect;
                }
        };

        @Override
        public void onCreate(){
                super.onCreate();
        }

        @Override
        public void onDestroy(){
                super.onDestroy();
        }
}

IMyService.aidl:
interface IMyService{
        Rect testSetRect(int a, int b, int c, int d);
}

and there is an activity "AidlTest" will call function "Rect
testSetRect(int a, int b, int c, int d); ", so i copy Rect.aidl and
IMyService.aidl file to the acitivty folder, add IMyService.aidl path
in Android.mk, then build AidlTest, the following error happens:
