Nothing I did before I cleared the screen is officially supported by anyone nor should it be; or objectively not a bad idea, at least in theory, depending on how we're looking at this; and I'll be damned if that wasn't the original plan, and if that wasn't also the original plan, respectively; and when you get an old phone for free and your even older phone is still working just fine, bricking the "new" one becomes a risk you're willing to take, simply because being willing to is the right thing to do.
Sanity is, by definition, doing something and expecting a result.
