Broken Android Data Recovery: Fix a Bricked Android Device

If you own a rooted Android phone or tablet running a custom ROM, you should pay extra attention to the risk of bricking your device. Other than that, many other reasons can also lead to a bricked Android handset including:

1. Malicious software can make your device get bricked.
2. Interruption while updating your Android OS is also the main cause of bricking.
3. Installing faulty firmware or wrong firmware on wrong hardware.
4. A custom ROM incompatible with the device type.
5. Some errors from the full data wipe, factory reset, cache wipe after flashing with a custom ROM.
6. Corrupt Bootloader: a bootloader contains the necessary files needed for your handset to boot. Once it corrupts, your phone can't boot up.

1. What is Bricking

Bricking is a state where your Android device can't turn on or boot up normally. The device can be stuck in the boot loop, vendor logo, black or white screen of death, or won't turn on anyway.

There are two types of bricking: soft bricking and hard bricking.

It is easier to recover soft bricked phone or tablet, because the device can boot just not completely and hangs at the welcome logo.

In contrast to that, hard bricking is considered completely dead and gone as the device refuses to power on entirely.
