Recently after i had corrupt nvram and then fix it, now i want to try another challenge, install custom ROM. One of classic reason why i do this is because i feel bored with my current stock ROM :p

It’s been almost two years since i used youuu..

So, what would we need? first, we need Smart Phone Flash Tool (SP Flash Tool), then a custom recovery program called TWRP to install .zip contains ROM and of course custom ROM itself. I used latest MIUI taste v6 which is compatible with my HH, Lenovo S860. That’s it!

First thing to do is copy your custom ROM into SDcard then install usb driver in order to make your smartphone recognized by the computer. Ok, i assume all the things related to driver installation is well done.

Now it’s time to flash TWRP. Open SP flash tool, browse scatter-loading into your TWRP folder.

Select only for recovery option in order to install TWRP custom recovery. Don’t forget to check option “DL all with checksum” to verify checksum after installation.
