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.

I don't think that's possible, but if that can reassure you, if you follow guides carefully, you shouldn't brick your device

If you do a small mistake, I think that a soft brick is the most common problem, and you can fix it

I already did some mistakes, and I never hard bricked my device, just follow the guides carefully!

Hope this can help!

Almost nowhere can anyone teach how to do this for my cell phone anymore. I've seen YouTube videos where people taught how to make ROMs without a PC, but I never find anything for my phone.
