Bricked phone during root process So I was in the process of rooting my phone and when it was rebooting the pc lost connection on the USB (had a faulty driver). The phone is now completely bricked, no recovery mode, no download mode and flashing with sp flash tools did nothing. Luckily it was just a cheap China Phone so no huge loss! But if the phone was bricked before the root was completed (in the process) would it be identified as rooted. Just interested as to where in the stage the unlocked boot loader etc is applied. 

Would like to here from anyone else on this topic :P
China Phone and Locked bootloader? I don't think so... If it was locked bootloader and if you tried to flash some other kernal I think it's bricked (Permanently). And as you said you were in the process of Rooting your phone... That means I can say you had already unlocked bootloader... If the phone restarted and it got disconnected means the issue might be related (rarely) due to root process because you saying it's not showing up anything... It might be possible that your battery is low and also try some other key combinations and try to plug in you phone with some key pressed (Sometimes it's the process to unbrick the phone)...
