These initial steps are mainly designed for advanced users and developers. It is better to avoid installing custom ROMs if you are not familiar with flashing them. The process may brick your device.
Also, this Android 16 beta may contain a lot of bugs, so you should avoid trying it as much as possible, and don’t use it on your primary device. If you think I’ll try it, try it on your secondary device.
