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

    It is normally soft bricked. You just need to wipe it and start over

    I’ve never heard of completely dead phone from a rom.

      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
