[NOUGAT] AOSP 7.0 Nougat ROM for Yu Yunique (Update Guide)

[Linux User]

Android AOSP 7.0 Nougat ROM for Yu Yunique (jalebi) is now available through an unofficial AOSP ROM update and this is a guide which explains how to update Yu Yunique to Android Nougat ROM. Since the Android Nougat Source code release, till now we have many Android Nougat ROMs available for various devices and also we have many CyanogenMod 14 ROMs including the Yureka 4G CM14 NOUGAT ROM. And now this time the Nougat ROM (build number: NRD90M) has arrived to Yu Yunique (codename: jalebi) which is brought to you by developer Satyabrat Sahoo and he has also brought the CyanogenMod 14 for Yu Yunique.

DISCLAIMER:
I DON’T KNOW THE STATUS OF THIS ROM YET. THIS COULD BE AN INITIAL ALPHA ROM WHICH MAY NOT BOOT AT ALL OR IF AT ALL IT BOOTS THEN IT MAY NOT BE USABLE AS A DAILY DRIVER. I JUST FOUND THE ROM AND POSTED HERE. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK. ALSO MAKE SURE TO TAKE NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM.

I don’t want to waste your time and my time too and hence I basically verify the system/build.prop and/or updater-script to get the build details at the first place before posting any ROM. I may be wrong at times and hence it is your responsibility to verify once more about the legitimacy of the ROMs.

Installing a custom ROM on a the Yu Yunique requires the bootloader to be unlocked, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. Before proceeding further you may consider backup all data on the phone. You are the only person doing changes to your phone and I cannot be held responsible for the mistakes done by you.
