What are the common causes of the android phone bricking? (Hard/Soft Brick)

You might wish to consult these questions – especially What is actually happening when you hard brick a phone? – and our unbricking tag-wiki (follow up to What does it mean to “brick” your phone? and Why is bricking possible?) // Further, I'd say the [tag:frp] tag doesn't fit on your question (or what does factory-reset protection have to do with bricking the phone?) — Izzy, Jan 21 '20 at 08:06

If you are flashing ROM, Common causes could be

Wrong ROM
Battery Failure (Please make sure it is charged fully or upto 70%)
Power Off/ Cancelling process in between.

Please search for the same Model ROM to Upgrade to current version. Also in Settings, search for Software Update option before trying anything else.
