Altering the operating system of your phone in a way that causes the mobile device to become unusable results in a bricked, or inoperable phone. Bricking of phone can be done by a Hacker and via one or more update.


Unbricking :- Phones that are bricked are able to be restored, also known as "unbricking", with the help of third-party tools or software programs.

Hello Friend,


Bricking a phone basically refers to the practice of altering the operating system of mobile(Android/iOS) in such a manner that it would render the mobile device unusable (i.e. unresponsive to input via touch screen or physical buttons).With refernce to your Android when you root your phone to flash a custom ROM or upgrade OS of your Android device, it can make your phone unresponsive and this is called bricking you Android phone.


In order to fix your bricked phone you'll need to factory reset your phone and wipe your data from SD card and cache.
