[GUIDE] How to flash a custom ROM (Android)

[EverybodyLies]

Hello, this guide will help you flash a custom ROM on your android phone. Keep in mind that i do not have responsibility for bricked or broken phones.

 

Lets begin

 

Requirements:

- An android phone

- A custom ROM (you can get one at the xda-developers.com under your phone section)

- A custom recovery manager

- A usable brain

 

Step 1: Connect your phone to your computer and transfer the custom ROM and recovery to the root of your sd-card

 

Step 2: Power off your phone and boot in recovery (the button combination differs from phone to phone but most likely it will be the home button+power button but just to be sure check google)

 

Step 3: Wipe cache. Then wipe Data/Factory and Dalvik-Cache (you can find them under the advanced category of your recovery in most phones)

 

Step 4:  After wipe is finished. Find the " Install zip from SD-card option. (the option may differ from phone to phone).  Click it

 

Step 5: **Do this if your phone has no custom recovery yet. Otherwise proceed directly to step 6 ** Locate the recovery manager .zip file and install it. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation. After installation is finish restart the phone to recovery manager again.

 

Step 6: Locate the custom ROM's .zip file and install it (make sure that the ROM is designed for your phone otherwise errors may arise). Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation. Restart the phone.

 

You should see a custom bootloader and the custom ROM available. Good job!

 

If you have any questions feel free to pm me and i can guide you through it!

 

Photos will be added later alongside with a video with instructions to both Greek and English languages.

 

Have fun flashing your phone and please follow the steps one by one to prevent your phone from being bricked.
