The resources for this phone seemed to be scattered around the internet so I went ahead and wrote a simple on guide for it.

It covers: Rooting the phone, Installing Magisk (root), passing SafetyNet and debloating the phone. The phone is very barebones once you uninstall most of the apps! I like it a lot.

    For the F21 Pro, there’s actually a surprising amount of resources that are up to date, much much more than for the F22 Pro.

    And here’s a nice XDA thread too

    The F21 Pro is actually a really nice and capable phone, I like it. Even the 3/32 model is pretty useable. I mean really, no toll on performance.

    Only thing with the 3/32 is that if you want to use ROMs, most likely you need to fully format the device EXCEPT THE BOOTLOADER, I mean other than that, wipe the whole thing down to nothing. It’s pretty scary, but then you can Format All + Download in SP Flasher for the ROMs.

    Be really really sure you have backup of your factory ROM.
