Of course brick is what you know :D but good news is it can be revived using one of the many methods in the link below.

COOKED ROM is a ROM built by someone using the OEM pakage with plus and minus of functions and inbuilt software.

SHIPPED ROM is the ROM which comes preinstalled in the PHONE.

CID Lock is Contract ID / Country ID (it means the phone is specific to this country only. (Language and operator)
