/e/OS Custom ROM: What to Know
Not every installer feature is available on every phone. The official installer documentation asks users to verify support, charge the device, prepare a USB data cable and make a backup. It also warns that the installation process erases smartphone data. A recent vendor update can affect anti-rollback compatibility on some devices.

Important safety reminder
Custom ROM installation can erase personal data and may cause boot failure when the wrong image or instructions are used. Keep a full backup, confirm the exact device codename, read the current maintainer guide and make sure you understand how to restore the original firmware. Do not flash a file simply because its name looks similar to your phone.
