Did it tho? I know you didn't title this but God damn. Brick doesn't mean "to stop working temporarily."

It can apply to both, it would be better described as a soft brick because it was temporary, but a complex fix

A hard brick is the permanent kind

Soft brick is a software brick, hard brick is a hardware brick.
