• Unlock bootloader (depending on vendor, you have to do an online verification),
  • flash a recovery.img,
  • load into recovery mode (which, depending on the phone, might need extra work)
  • wipe some caches,
  • select new os/rom image,
  • pray it doesn’t brick your phone.

      I have been tweaking my phone ever since Nexus 3 age. And only recently settle in the default MIUI/HyperOS and that is only after unlocking and removing a bunch of bloats.
