The act of damaging an electronic gadget beyond repair by software means, usually by trying to hack it. Basically after being hardbricked, the gadget is dead and won't function at all. As opposed to a normal brick or a "softbrick", various tricks like getting into recovery mode and flashing a new firmware, won't get it back to life, and it's basically ready for the wastebin unless you have access to a high-tech electronics lab for advanced repairs. Since the hardbrick usually results from an unauthorized hack or root attempt, warranty is usually void so you're basically fucked, after you hardbrick your gadget.
Jimmy: Fuck, I hardbricked my new iMagineTV Gadget by trying to root it so I could get it to play Popcorn Time!
Brian: That was dumb, you should have read the warning that firmware 3.x wasn't supported. Let's go play football with it!
