    I have a Huawei Ascend Y250. When I try to install Lollipop ROM, it shows an error, then aborts. What am I doing wrong?
    Community Answer
    This can occur if your phone is not rooted. You can use Kingroot or other root apps.

    Switch off your phone and reboot it into recovery mode by pressing 'vol+' or 'vol-' and power button at the same time. If the Android logo appears on the screen, leave the buttons and you will see you are in recovery mode. In recovery mode, click on update from SD card / storage and select the downloaded ROM from your storage. It will start flashing the file and the device will be updated.

    I'm about to buy AsusROG phone 2 and I want a custom ROM. But I am scared if my armory crate (a specific app on rog phones) will be deleted.
    Community Answer
    Armory crate will be removed if you install a custom rom. But you can just download the app from the play store again, so don't worry.
