So I used MSM and so far it seemed to work, had to use my old junk laptop but everything seems to be in working order for now, SIM included.
Should I try my luck installing Lineage on it again? Or should I just cut my losses on that and save up for a GrapheneOS phone when my finances are alright? I'm super cautious on this rn
EDIT: Got into a long loop at the logo, but after clearing cache in recovery, it boots in, flashed and updating to A11, my current plan is to upgrade to A12 and await further steps from there to make sure I do everything right (fatal mistake last time was "fastboot flash boot twrp" instead of "fastboot boot twrp"), I know the step for LineageOS recovery but I don't know if there's a way to flash it without flashing recovery, in case something goes wrong again.
