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.
