How can you brick a device without flashing new kernels? It's the only way for hard brick.

No my friend. Unfortunately it is not the only one. There are many ways to kill the device software. For example:
* Flash foreign bootloader, kernel, recovery, pit via Odin
* Flash foreign update.zip from different device via CWM or Mobile Odin - needs root
* Remove dev/block
et cetera...

Thats not true mate. I don't know where u checked it but definitely not on A5 2017 I checked many times. Further mod was released back in 2014 and plenty have changed since then. Secure folder works only with custom kernel with fake know support.

Hmm maybe, possibly a custom kernel was required. I didn't pay much mind to the details when I read it.
Have you tried Magisk. Magisk is able to fake knox and hide root.
