Been a few years since I was playing with this stuff, but can you not still just unlock the phone with fastboot? Has something changed that it’s actually bricked or is this the modern sense of the word bricked (mildly inconvenient and maybe some data loss)?

Last I tried it (albeit a few years ago), it was a soft-brick; I.E., mildly inconvenient with a brief "Oh shit!" moment.
