I don’t need it to be with zero effort, but most of the instructions I find these days on XDA forums are extremely ambiguous and assume the reader is someone who does this every day and therefore knows most of the steps and what the terminology means.

Years ago when I used to do stuff like this more, directions were written meticulously and without abridgment of any elements. Seems today it’s not common for someone to go to the effort.

I’m extremely proficient, that’s not the issue. It’s just most instructions say stuff like “Step 1: root the phone. Step 2…” I’m like “whoa excuse me… how do I root this phone?”

Anyway, so all I’m asking is are there just comprehensive directions for any of these.

    I’m confused. What are you trying to accomplish? Anyway you shouldn’t use root on Android as that breaks the security model.

    I would look to see which of those devices officially support Lineage OS if any. They all look ancient so don’t be surprised if they are either not supported or support was dropped.

    Also please spend a little more time before posting. This post is fairly low effort and you are asking others to do basic googling for you.
