[Guide] How to Install Custom Rom on Android
The technique adopted for flashing, ie for the installation of a custom ROM on Android, is very simple and does not require special technical skills. However, before doing this operation it is essential to do two preliminary things:

Once you have done the two operations indicated above, you can search and locate the (specific) custom ROM for your Android to install. Know that each ROM can be different for each device. To do this search you can simply type in Google the name of your smartphone model followed by the word "ROM". For example: “Huawei P10 ROM“. After finding the custom ROM for your smartphone, download the relative ZIP file and copy / move it to the MicroSD card.
Now boot the Android device into recovery mode using the button / key combinations (how to put Android in recovery mode) and follow the following steps:
1 STEP: From the recovery mode screen, move the volume keys and select the option "APPLY UPDATE FROM SD CARD”And then confirm by pressing the power button.
STEP 2: From the next screen select and click on "Choose .zip from MicroSD card". You will need to search for and select the ZIP file of the custom ROM and then click the power button to confirm and start the installation process.
