I bricked my SD Card Reader by accidentally modifying the firmware, how do I flash generic firmware onto it to get it working again?

you didn't back up the original firmware? did you flash it through some hardware fuckery or just a software update?

How did you even "accidentally modify firmware"? Did you make any backups of original firmware? Did you try searching for firmware on the internet?

I tried to make a bootable sd card & the firmware was damaged in the process.

you'll have to go through your process step by step for me to believe this is even possible

It happened as I was writing the boot sector in an attempt to make an sd card bootable.

I can't help you, but I'm curious as to why you'd want to do this.

I'm sure you had a good reason to do that

I still fail to see how this has any impact on the reader itself

There was a definite glitch in the firmware as I couldn't access the reader via Linux VM or LiveUSB until afterwards.
