I always called that a soft brick when it could still power on, but couldn’t load the main operating system, but it could receive a reinstall of the system.

Hard brick was the one where it was permanently disabled either from not able to power on or was incapable of reloading the main OS without essentially “brain surgery” of the device.

I guess brick could extend to broken components until a reboot (such as a broke WiFi driver or such). What type of “brick” would it be? How about glitch brick?
