Scenario in short:
I’m trying to install LineageOS onto a spare phone that I have (redmi note 8T) Hoping to get a daily driver out of it. The installation process requires me to install Android11 to install lineage on top of /over that. Which afaik isn’t directly available outside of some websites that I’ve never heard of.
For safety’s sake: would the install of lineage wipe the install of Android11? Or could there still remain backdoors?
What device, specifically?
Redmi note 8T
Good to know. I also see you already found the official Lineage OS installation guide. Whatever upgrade/downgrade the LOS devs say needs to be done should be safe as long as you don’t deviate from the instructions.
Anything has to be better than the stock Redmi bloatware.
