How do you hard brick a phone?
I had a problem with my S6 and even if i started flashing random shit,kernels,Pit's roms,bootloaders,mashing ROM's the Download mode was still working and i could you just flash a stock to revive him. How the hell can you hard brick a phone?
If you brick the bootloader and recovery completely and the phone isn't so popular that you can revive it with leaked software.
Example: You are developing a custom ROM for a random Chinese brand and you brick the bootloader, it'll boot into a black screen and that's it, and there is no documentation on how to save it. If the manufacturer had something like the audio jack unbricker like Samsung has, you'd need to reverse engineer it and find that.

Go to XDA and flash the wrong kernel along with a random rom

Did that with a S1 i9000 back in the times. It only put me on forever boot animation mode. Still download mode worked.

Flashing the wrong kernel can mess up the bootclasspath. This tells your device how to boot. This might not happen all the time though.

It's probably a lot harder to brick newer devices.
