I have a Polaroid phone which doesn't have a lot of product support and I want to port a custom recovery on it and flash it. Before I follow through with it is there any chance of hard bricking it or will the worst case be a soft brick?
What is the worst case scenario if you flash a wrong custom recovery?
Question
Answer
Had this problem so many times. So from the personal experience the worst case scenario is that you might soft brick your phone and would have to go stock, flashing the official firmware for your phone (and root it again).
