I've read many forums where someone flash his device but device doesn't boot up after successful flashing and admins usually ask them did they flash the firmware for their exact build no. Now my question is that can flashing device with some other build number brick the device. I mean I did flash my phone many times but not with exact build number present on my device and did never face such issue, for example ID5a-H612F-O-191223V198 is current build no. Of my phone but flashing it with ID5a-H612F-O-180828V106 had never been an issue for me at least. 
Anyone, plz tell me exactly for future awareness.

reasons for that could either be that the two models are of the same variant and the former is an update to the latter OR that they are of different variants but luckily the firmware from either one is compatible on both build (very unlikely)

@x3non thanks, the article was really helpful. It seems hovatek has an article on every technical problem in this world Big Grin because I didn't expect that they have an article on this one of my question otherwise I didn't ask here.
