Render useless/inoperable.

 

E.g. wont boot up at all.

bricking a device means you're rendering it useless because the firmware got corrupt in some way or another

[MatthewEnderle]

“Bricking” essentially means a device has turned into a brick. It may be an electronic device worth hundreds of dollars, but it’s now as useful as a brick (or perhaps a paperweight). A bricked device won’t power on and function normally.

bricked=broken

Broken, but generally physically alright. Like a bricked device would work if not for fucked up firmware or something.

Bricked device is useless like a brick. Bricking can be done by messing up very basic software on your device, for example failure during root on phones or installing incompatible version of BIOS that will cause brick. In most cases, it's possible to unbrick a device but sometimes it's just broken.
