Shame that rooting is such a pain, and risks bricking the device. (Apparently Google's introduction of an anti-rollback bootloader this month has caused a few people's devices to get bricked when they tried to root.)

Anti-rollback is a security feature. I'm sorry you find yourself limited by Google - coming from the GrapheneOS user this is the only reasonable secure hardware platform of all the Android landscape.

I hope rooting will be easier for all the interested.
