[STABLE] Xolo Play 8x 1100 CM 12.1 (CyanogenMod 12.1) Lollipop ROM

[Linux User]

Xolo Play 8x 1100 CM 12.1 ROM (CyanogenMod Android Lollipop) is an unofficial ported ROM. This ROM has reportedly no known bugs and stated as a stable ROM. But still as always I always recommend to have a backup before you initiate the flashing.

DISCLAIMER:
Installing custom ROM requires a custom recovery to be installed on your device, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. It is important for you to understand that you are the only person responsible for the disaster that may happen to your device. Neither the developer nor we can be held responsible for the same.

 

Before you start the flashing!!! Download the following files

– Philz recovery download link
– ROM download link
– Google Apps download link

STEP 1:

Download the CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM, Google Apps and Copy these zip file to your phone memory (By using a USB cable or via adb push command).

STEP 2:

Reboot your phone into recovery mode.
Or if you have a PC in hand with USB drivers installed for your phone and fastboot binaries installed, then connect your phone to the PC and type the following command on the command prompt to enter into recovery mode:

$ adb reboot recovery

STEP 3:

Wipe cache partition, system partition, dalvik cache and data partition.
If you don’t know how to do this then here is how to wipe data using TWRP recovery.
