EDIT: Added soft- to the title, since it was pissing people off. Maybe I’m still wrong. Idk, it’s just a meme.

If you didn’t need to buy a new phone you didn’t brick it. The name comes from the device becoming as useful as a brick. IE filling physical space.
There is hard and soft bricking. Soft bricking means the phone is unusable, but fixable. Hard bricking means the phone is permanently unusable.
would you build a house out of soft bricks? no… they don’t exist.
bricking is permanently fucking it up. as useful as a phone as a brick. aka a paper weightSoft Brick => You can build the house with a lot of them, but when the wolf huffs and puffs, it will fall.
Hard Brick => The house you build, will not be breakable by the wolf’s huffing and puffing.
soft bricking
You mean like, shutting down your laptop? 😅
Stop trying to hijack terms to excuse your ignorance of them. “Soft bricking” isn’t a thing.
Soft bricking always meant the os failed but you still have a bootloader. A fully bricked phone has no bootloader and is the typical definition.
This was an incredibly common issue back in the day. Some times you could even have the appearance of no bootloader but still be able to get it back to a usable state. You thanked the gods if that happened.
I bricked my wireless mouse the other day. Accidentally pulled the USB dongle receiver out of my computer when I thought I was pulling out my micro thumbdrive, they’re about the same size and same color.
Long story short, the mouse stopped working. Completely bricked until I realized my mistake and plugged the receiver back in.
Then it’s not a brick, it’s just turned off.
Bricked is permanently broken, will never work again, kaput, paper weighted, pet-rocked, like a brick. You can’t get a brick to POST.
The whole point of the term bricked is to denote permanence.
I believe that was the joke, sir.
