EDIT: Added soft- to the title, since it was pissing people off. Maybe I’m still wrong. Idk, it’s just a meme.

soft bricking

You mean like, shutting down your laptop? 😅

Stop trying to hijack terms to excuse your ignorance of them. “Soft bricking” isn’t a thing.

Soft bricking always meant the os failed but you still have a bootloader. A fully bricked phone has no bootloader and is the typical definition.

This was an incredibly common issue back in the day. Some times you could even have the appearance of no bootloader but still be able to get it back to a usable state. You thanked the gods if that happened.

What the fuck are you talking about. I was playing with custom roms 12 years ago and it was definitely a term people used. If anyone is ignorant here it’s you.
