Hey, fellow members. I'm a complete noob. Well, not exactly. I have rooted a few of my older phones and flashed custom ROMs but I have no idea how to root my current phone. I've been trying to find a perfect solution ranging from Youtube videos to our own forum threads but I guess I am not really good at searching. I'd be really grateful if someone could give me a step by step guide to rooting my phone and IDK, maybe unlocking the bootloader (if that's required) and then flashing a new Pie ROM. I'm using XT1084 Stock Oreo 8.1 with the latest security patch. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you!

I do have another question. I'm currently using Pixel Experience 9.0 which is supposedly a TREBLE ROM. I want to switch to Bootleggers 9.0 which isn't TREBLE. Will there be a problem if I flash a Non-TREBLE ROM on a TREBLE Recovery? I'm using TWRP TREBLE. I know I sound a little foolish especially with the rubbish nomenclature but I hope that everyone is able to comprehend my words and possibly even figure out a solution for me.

Nevermind.
Got it.
It doesn't make any difference whether I use TREBLE or Non-TREBLE TRWP for flashing a Non-TREBLE ROM.
