A GUIDE TO INSTALLING

CUSTOM ROMS ON YOUR

ANDROID DEVICE WITHOUT
ROOTING
Custom ROMs are a popular way to breathe new life into an old Android
device. A custom ROM is essentially a version of Android that has been
modified by a developer to include features not found in the stock version of
the operating system. These modifications can include everything from new
customization options to improved performance.

Traditionally, installing a custom ROM on an Android device required rooting

the device first. Rooting is the process of gaining administrative access to
the device, which allows users to make changes to the operating system
that would normally be restricted. However, not everyone is comfortable with
rooting their device, and some devices may not even be able to be rooted.

Fortunately, there is a way to install a custom ROM on an Android device

without rooting it. This method involves using a tool called SP Flash Tool,
which is designed for flashing firmware onto MediaTek-based Android
devices. Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Backup Your Personal Information

Before you begin, it's important to back up all of your personal information,

 including contacts, photos, and other data. This will ensure that you don't
lose anything important during the installation process.

Step 2: Download the Custom ROM and SP Flash Tool

Next, you'll need to download the custom ROM you want to install, as well
as SP Flash Tool. Make sure you download the correct custom ROM for
your device, as installing the wrong ROM can cause serious problems.

Step 3: Install TWRP Manager

Once you have the custom ROM and SP Flash Tool downloaded, you'll need
to install TWRP Manager. This is a tool that allows you to install a custom
recovery on your device, which is necessary for flashing the custom ROM.

Step 4: Create a Backup for Your Phone

Using TWRP Manager, create a backup of your device's current firmware.
This will allow you to restore your device to its original state if something
goes wrong during the installation process.

Step 5: Flash the Latest Version of TWRP

Using SP Flash Tool, flash the latest version of TWRP onto your device.
This will replace the stock recovery with the custom recovery, which is
necessary for installing the custom ROM.

Step 6: Reboot Your Device to Recovery Mode

Once TWRP is installed, reboot your device into recovery mode. This can
usually be done by holding down the power and volume buttons
simultaneously.

Using the wipe function in TWRP, wipe your device's data, cache, and
system partitions. This will ensure that the custom ROM is installed cleanly
and without any conflicts.

Step 8: Flash the Custom ROM

Use SP Flash Tool to flash the custom ROM onto your device. Once the
ROM is installed, reboot your device and enjoy your new custom Android
experience!

Installing a custom ROM on an Android device without rooting it is possible

using SP Flash Tool. By following the steps outlined above, you can breathe
new life into an old device and enjoy all the benefits of a custom ROM
without the risks associated with rooting.

 Custom ROMs can either come with root access or without it. It depends on
the ROM developer and their preferences. Some custom ROMs, especially
those based on stock Android, do not come with root access by default and
require you to manually install it after flashing the ROM. On the other hand,
some custom ROMs, especially those based on LineageOS, come with a
pre-installed root access management app like SuperSU or Magisk.

It is important to note that rooting your device and installing a custom ROM
can void your warranty and may also introduce security risks. However, if
done correctly, rooting can provide a range of benefits such as the ability to
install custom recoveries, modify system settings, and install apps that
require root access.

Whether a custom ROM has root access or not depends on the ROM
developer. Some custom ROMs come with pre-installed root access
management apps like SuperSU, while others require you to manually install
root access after flashing the ROM.
