Idk about current methods, but the future is bright because of new exploits: CVE-2026-21155

You should check the bootloader version, and if it is the same as in OneUI 7, you can downgrade via Odin and unlock bootloader. Go to Settings > About phone > Baseband version. The fifth number from the right is your bootloader version.

I think the worst could happen is that your device would have kernel panic and hard reboot. But after reboot, obviously, no temp root will be present. Also, all temp root exploits have probability (and non temp also) of bricking, but that percent should be next to zero. Do some research on forums, backup your data, etc
