AOSP

Almost Bricked my Phone

! I am not a dev, I just wanna use aosp bc google bad (imo) ; this is a shitpost but lemmy is empty enough

> I was just researching about unicode on my phone, found an app to show all unicodes

> Some symbols were not showing up. I searched for latest unicode font android Magik zip.

> Found one, flashed it, rebooted => bootloop

> annoyed, went to fastboot mode, connected phone to pc, fastboot boot twrp.img ; thought flashing the aosp rom again would fix it although it will disable Magisk

> Flashed zip to the wrong slot (I was dual booting Linux and android) ; Linux dead ; nvm there was nothing of importance on linux

> Flashed zip to the correct slot (I wanna atleast save my android) ; success > booted > bootloop

> went to twrp again, this time formatted all data (fu*k my data, I have backup) ; data format fails DBE decryption error or something

> Cant think of any other solution, fallback to last resort, ie. fastboot rom, 5.9 gb rom file, downloading with 500 kb/sec for some reason (2.5 hr ETA) ; super annoyed

> rebooted to twrp again, twrp doesn't open, stuck on launch screen ; scared

> twrp home screen visible after 5 min, goes to advance wipe, clears internal storage, data, and dalvik, reflashes aosp rom zip (fastboot rom is still downloading), success with no errors

> reboots to system (works) ; cries
