Check for your phone here and there are good guides. I would highly suggest trying this on a spare phone. Even those with technical experience brick their devices occasionally.

Tinkering like this will always bring some failure and frustration, but that's the learning process. It's the trade-off for having control (and responsibility) of your things.

Edit: you could also look at something like pine phone for a device ready to run but you should have some Linux experience. Any option outside of the big boy tech companies is going to take some work.
