Risks and recovery
Data-loss risk: Possible; Bricking risk: Possible. Route-based guidance, not hardware-tested; these outcomes are not inevitable for every device.
The source says downgrading usually is not possible without existing root. Do not treat an old tutorial as a solution for new firmware.
