@Wenin That's usually the first step, so if you're not sure, that was probably it. ;-)
Well, how that's done differs very much from device to device, but new easier methods do get developed, so it may be worth checking again.
Sometimes it's as easy as "Download this app and run it. Click the only button." (towelroot). :-D
@Wenin Which "it" do you mean? A custom ROM? A rooting solution?
The first time doing some of those may be very challenging, depending on device.
In other cases, rooting/reflashing can be so easy that I've literally done it on the bus going home from getting a new device. :-)
Do you have an Android-based device?
If so, do you want it to do more than what the manufacturer decided you should want? Of course you do!
If you wanted a device software-controlled by Capitalist decrees, you would be using Apple instead.
Well, for almost every Android-device ever, there is a specific sub-forum at https://forum.xda-developers.com/
Almost always, if there exists any custom ROM, rooting, custom kernel, etc for the device, it will be found there.
Often, those that develop the methods that give us full device access (root) or adapt pre-release versions of Android to run even on no longer officially maintained devices... they hang out there.

The Q word
Queer theorists do two different things when they work with a text: They either look for evidence of historical queer practices, or they produce a queer reading of it.
In the first case, "queer" is useful because it highlights the ambiguity we must grapple with when we study eras that predate our concepts of sexuality or gender. When we say a medieval painting expresses the painter's "homosexual desire", we project the concept of homosexuality onto someone who never encountered it.

@garfiald
I haven't heard the word queer used pejoratively in years. I stopped even thinking of it as a slur. I only see people self-identifying online with it anymore.
