Thanks for the answer👍
I’m trying to learn a maximum of information before buying any phone, but it’s difficult to find answers sometimes.
Perhaps you could try experimenting with your older phone before buying something and risking naking some mistake. I believe this rom is compatible with it:

Although a bit dated, doing that can help you get more experience with the process of u lockingthe bootloader, flashing a custom rom, etc.
Note: I was going to edit a typo in the previous comment, and accidentally delet it, sorry.
Edit: just found out that lemmy has the option to restore accidentally deleted comme ts. Awesome.
Oh thanks 🙏 I guess I’m gonna try this first.
