I have, although it wasn't much of a brick. I just forgot to clear numerous caches, and got stuck in a reboot loop. Fun times.
 
I thought I bricked my first Evo using the universal root for some reason it got stuck at the white screen. Its when your supposed to get into a spot where if your phone gets to the white screen with HTC screen and your supposed to take the battery out and go to bootloader and manual flash the PC. File and it should be good but it wasn't and I tried to flash a older ruu and I bugged out because it only showed a black HTC evo sign with triangles on all four corners and I knew that was the end of that phone time to get another one lol but I only had that for 2day and Im not new to rooting or android and that was definitely and surprise but I got it the second time around lol

It seems the definition of bricked has changed, or I had it wrong to begin with. I thought it meant when the phone won't do anything, won't power on or anything. But more and more I'm seeing it used as describing a phone stuck in a bootloop, or some thing else where the phone is on.
Can someone please clarify this term for me? Is its meaning interchangeable?

Not trying to be an ass, I'm really asking this

I agree that the term "bricked" is broad because most people think they have bricked their phones when it really is whats called soft bricked....in a state that you can not boot into the OS by conventional means.

It is very hard to actually permanently brick a phone . i want to know how many people get to a point where they give up

Happens. That's why I said what I did wasn't a true brick. I remember back when PSP hacking was popular, people were bricking their PSP's left and right. That was a true brick, no way to recover the software or do anything really.
 
I've never personally bricked a phone, but I had two Galaxy S' brick themselves because they corrupted their internal sd. Not my fault, but still a brick. I haven't had any problems whatsoever with HTC even though my new phone has more security in place against rooting and hacking than my old phone.

oh im sorry that happend with your galaxy S phones but the question was aimed towards people bricking during the root process , not if they bricked in general,,, i want to know if anyone has bricked as a direct result of attempting to root
 
Yes I bricked or should we say soft bricked my phone when rooting it. I can't remember the exact thing I did, but I was stuck at the Samsung logo until I came here to AC and you guys saved me..... :)
 
My roommate bricked his Evo updating the radio. He pulled the battery after about 20 minutes when he thought the phone was locked up. Turns out it was still updating the radio....bricked! Won't turn on, charge, LED won't light up, nothing. We use it now at the apartment as a coaster :p
