How To Prevent Your Android Device From Being Bricked by spyjulius(m): 3:23am On Jul 31, 2015
Before I highlights the simple steps on how to prevent your android device from being bricked, we have to have a full knowledge of what bricking is all about. so read about Brick. Now that you have the basic knowledge about bricking.

However, you also find terms like "hard-brick" and "soft-brick" used, which makes the term "brick" less absolute: A soft-brick is something you easily can recover from (count it as a "temporary paper-weight"wink,
mostly by software-based solutions (e.g. re-flash your phone)

while a "target brick is rather meant in the way the original term points to.

Still, technically spoken, even a "hard-bricked" device could be "unbricked" -- but mostly this is more expensive then getting a new device.

As for the warranty declaration you quoted: For a normal user, it's almost impossible to (hard-) brick his device. Even when flashing a custom ROM, this can rarely happen, as there are many security-layers involved. Almost always you can boot your device into some fall-back mode where it is at least recognized by some "flashing software", so you could simply flash another/the original firmware back. Which means, the risk you are taking is today depends on your device 1 . A "hard-brick" is quite unlikely with "normal operations" like rooting or flashing custom ROMs.
