I didn’t brick mine, but got very close to it. Was able to run some command prompts to it while it was giving me a blank screen and managed to factory reset/ get it to where I wanted. Man was I worried I just turned my $1,000.00 phone into a paperweight. After that near miss, I gave up on rooting/ custom roms even though I enjoyed tinkering with them. Maybe I should give it another go.
If you just want to play around you can get a Pixel 7a for $374 USD from store.google.com while it’s on sale. You can pay in installments.
I don’t really like Google as a company, or idea of changing phones often, but it’s pretty cheap for a brand new smartphone, and buying from Google gives the option for having an unlocked bootloader unlike if you bought from a service provider’s store.
I need a slightly less secure walkthrough to allow, essentially, android auto and google maps to operate.
I did without for a while, and it wasn’t pretty.
Lets just say I went from a sketchy hospital district to a very sketchy dead end in a neighborhood that had lookouts. Working nights, this was not a great time to drop in unannounced.
love that i switched to graphene. I was hesitant because ages ago i bricked a phone with a random ROM, but boy have things changed.
installing was seriously easy, like in a pinch my elderly parents could probably do it. the result worries better than stock Android imo
Really strongly recommend checking it out if you have a supported devices.

Only thing I hate is the messaging app sucks. I have “enter” key so I cannot make new lines in my messages.
