I stand by words mean things. If you can recover in any way, it's not a brick. In this case it is a boot loop and there's no reason they should not have used boot loop to describe the condition.

- Zenbit_UX 7y agoA bricked device can be recovered - usually - by replacing hardware, that's the limit of the definition. The GP comment is right, bricked is bricked and there's no way to recover a bricked device with any software means. It means the hardware is fucked and it's usefulness is equivalent to a brick.
- lagadu 7y agoWhat if you can reprogram an eeprom to make it work, would you consider it bricked? You're not replacing any hardware and are fixing only software. At the end of the day language is (for all pragmatic purposes) finite but possible states of the universe are not, so you can't have a perfect definition of that catches all possible states you want while excluding all others with perfect accuracy.
