Funny, the comment types here are the same as on Youtube:
- “I still run Android and it is totally fine, will never switch Android just got worse!”
- “Well, money”
- “Companies need to support phones longer”
- “I just use LineageOS on that device”
- Misinformation

did it many times too and never bricked a phone. The fact that there’s a chance that it can brick a phone is the problem. Were I live, even the cheapest phones cost a month worth of salary, so if you brick s phone, you’re basically without a phone for months as you slowly gather the funds to buy a new one.
It is normally soft bricked. You just need to wipe it and start over
To flash a custom rom you usually use a custom Bootloader like TWRP, and if the bootloader is fucked, the phone is pretty much dead.
It isn’t needed with Lineage OS as it has its own recovery tools
