or TWRP custom recovery installed on it, then we will recommend to
create a backup using that tool as it will create complete image of your
existing phone state.
Once you are done with creating backup, you are ready to go. But we
would like you take a look of few more things before you proceed:
- Make sure your device is fully charged (Min 80% charge remaining in
battery). It is because if your phone goes off during installation of
official firmware or custom ROM, then there is high chance that your
phone might get bricked which is not part of a plan. Don’t know how to
check battery percentage? No worries, take a look of this tutorial: How to Check Battery Percentage in Android.
- If your computer is not recognizing your phone then you will need to
enable USB debugging mode on your device. Don’t know how? Take a look
of this tutorial: How to Enable USB Debugging
- Most of the custom ROM or firmware we cover here are for Android
devices which are factory unlocked. So we would recommend not to try it
on your Android device if it is locked unless the custom ROM or firmware is specifically for your phone or tablet.
