Funny, the comment types here are the same as on Youtube:

  1. “I still run Android and it is totally fine, will never switch Android just got worse!”
  2. “Well, money”
  3. “Companies need to support phones longer”
  4. “I just use LineageOS on that device”
  5. Misinformation

    Nah, it’s pretty easy. I’ve done it many times myself. You have to be pretty unlucky or stupid to brick a phone.

      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.
