In this regard, your first course of action is to extract the stock firmware. However, this is proving to be quite a challenging task in itself....

Apart from that, you could now also step into the custom development and try out a plethora of mods and tweaks. While at the time of writing, there aren’t many custom ROMs and recoveries that support the latest OS build, but when it comes to gaining administrative privileges, there’s no roadblock as such. You could easily get access to the system partition via Magisk. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that....
