What does bricking a device mean?
It is a state of the device when the device does not boot due to some severe misconfiguration, corrupted firmware, or due to any hardware problem. The device is termed bricked when it becomes unbootable due to the reasons above. The bricking is basically of two types – Soft Brick and Hard Brick.
Soft brick – The SoftBrick is a state of the device when the device gets stuck in a boot loop or has some other freezing problems. It mostly occurs due to some firmware glitch or while flashing custom ROM. It is even denoted as a half-dead phone. The smartphone is not working as desired and is also recognized by a computer.
Android phones with Soft Bricking can be quickly revived by following proper instructions.
Hard brick – The hard bricked device is a fully-dead state of the phone. It does not show any sign of life and becomes unbootable. There’s hardly any chance to revive your smartphone. Hard Brick happens only due to some hardware fault or forcefully executing firmware code not meant for the device. It is always recommended to exchange or repair the device form the service center if it is under warranty. Otherwise, you have to try to unbrick it yourself by following a specific guide or unbricking method.
