2023: When passed, the DMA could require Apple to start allowing users to download apps from outside the App Store

In that case, rooting the device can be done by unlocking the bootloader downloading the latest firmware with a tool like Frija or samfirm.js, patching the firmware file with Magisk as shown here and flashing the patched image with Odin or Heimdall.

Get hold of a Windows PC and download the stock ROM. Some trustworthy sites are Sammobile, Samfirm Tool, and my favourite, Samfirm.js. The last one requires Node.js tho.
LineageOS 18.1 Released

Sorry to hear that, I've been in the same situation for too many times now. Yeah, recovering your files at that stage is very likely impossible.
You can get your stock firmware easily though, with any of these tools:
Frija (GUI, recommended): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-frija-samsung-firmwa...

How to install stock Android 11 on The Light Phone
1 project | /r/LightPhone | 26 Feb 2023

If you go to the GSI Github used in the video, the newest version available is 12.1, and this has not been yet built for a ARM-AONLY build, which is what Dylan suggested. I used the most recent ARM-AONLY build. If someone wants to try building ARM-AONLY for the newest release of GSI Android 12.1, I would love to hear their results. If someone wants to try flashing a different build like ARM64, I would be interested to hear the results of that as well.
Show HN: DivestOS, long term support for end-of-life Android devices
7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Nov 2022

Android 12 requires Linux 4.4 for proper networking and cgroup handling, which the Pixel 1 doesn't support. Skipping those requirements isn't a good idea.
p.s. status on this? thanks https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/1...
Are there any flip phones than run AOSP or lineageOS?

You can put a full GSI rom on the Cat S22 like I did! see
Treble GSI vs Native Build?
1 project | /r/fossdroid | 20 Sep 2022

There is a reason, why phhusson is putting a lot of work into building their own GSIs even though Google releases official GSI builds. And yet, the list of issues is still long because minor things are broken on different devices.
Can someone get me the original boot.img?
1 project | /r/UnihertzJelly2 | 17 Sep 2022

I want to upgrade my Jelly2 to GSI 12.1. I'm okay with a potential soft-brick. Indeed, I just got this phone and haven't done anything with it yet, so if I have to re-flash it I'm fine with that.
