Root What does a bricked phone......

...........actually appear as? Just curious, I see all these posts about bricking but not sure what one would look like. Are you stuck on one screen, or does it just loop. Thanks.

Usually it's a bootloop.. Never seen just stuck on one screen.

Sometimes your device may not turn on at all

It's usually one of the two posts above me. It depends on how the device was bricked.


As long as you can get to recovery you aren't bricked

Well certainly that as well. basically a bricked phone is one that becomes almost as useful as a brick.. Thus the name. So it could be one of numerous possibilities.

I've heard around that it may give you a series of beeps.. 5 I think the number was.
But this brick was caused by mis-flashed radios.

Poor girl was crushed.

weird i do not recall anything about beeps. i have had my evo soft bricked where it would vibrate 5 times before rebooting.

From my understanding soft bricks are temporary bricks that can be rescued. It's not a true brick.

They are usually software related.
