Can I change my phone from regular Android to LineageOS using root, without a PC? (lemmy.world)

I’ve had this question for a while, but I don’t really understand this stuff. I’m afraid of messing something up and ending up with a phone that won’t turn on anymore.

part of the process is formatting your SD card and putting lineageos on it. I don't think that's possible with just your phone. maybe if you had two SD slots.

Formatting the SD card to flash a custom ROM to a phone that doesn't boot from SD card?? What are you talking about?

Where was anyone talking about a phone without an SD card

I think they're saying that the phone doesn't boot from the SD card. It boots from internal storage.

I think they were saying they don't have a PC.
