When a phone's system is unusable or not bootable at all, but you can access the recovery or download mode, you can call it a soft brick/it gets soft-bricked. After downloading the original software, it should return to the usable state. It often happens after flashing a custom system.
A hard brick is similar, yet the very opposite. - A hard brick is a literal brick, because the firmware is well fucked up and you cannot even access the download mode.
"flashing" -> Copying/downloading a (custom) system onto an Android phone
"ROM" -> system
"Fastboot/Download mode" -> a mode on an Android phone that allows you to flash files directly into a phone's filesystem

Get the brickedmug. To let down, disappoint, bail on, not show up, esp. when you've accepted an invitation or agreed to a plan.
Looks like Ben is gonna brick, but me and Joe will be there.
Man, he totally bricked on me; he's such a loser!
