Other people have already addressed the main issue here, so I think you're sorted there.

But yeah, I consider "bricked" a permanent condition - something broken beyond repair, so it's as useful as a brick. See also "paperweight".

What do you think it means? Temporarily unavailable?

Yeah I got the impression it was a recoverable condition after a search found a bunch of guides for "unbricking" (Android phones). Semantics are the true enemy it seems
