Root bravia engine/Sony x loud

A soft brick is when there is an error in your phone software that prevents the phone from fully booting, also called a boot loop, because the phone keeps trying to execute buggy or incompatible software.

A Hard brick is essentially a full recovery, e boot (emergency boot), firmware, or kernel that was flashed. Incorrectly and prevents even simple hardware initialization.

Hard bricks you have to send the phone back (or from what I understand, a jig can be purchased), insurance I don't believe covers hard bricks and software modifications.

Your warranty is void now anyway.

Let's be honest, my dog ate your phone

Correct me if I'm wrong. Lol

Beats: working. Go to settings/sound/sound effects and change it to beats.
Bravia: working, but useless due to our horrible screen.
Xloud: works, but is negated by any equalizer you have installed.
