“Bricking” a device means rendering it unusable or inoperable, essentially turning it into a “brick” or useless object. This can happen when the device’s firmware or software becomes corrupted or improperly updated, causing the device to malfunction or fail to boot up properly.
When a device is “bricked,” it typically cannot be repaired through normal means and may require special tools or software to restore it to its original state. In some cases, the damage may be permanent, and the device may need to be replaced entirely.
It is important to be cautious when modifying or updating the firmware or software on a device, as any errors or issues during the process could potentially result in “bricking” the device.
