There are a multitude of devices with the Android platform, the problem is that practically most of these devices are stuck in time on obsolete versions of Android.
What many are not aware of, is the possibility of being able to update these cell phones and install a newer version like 7.0 – 7.1 Nougat, using a rom called lineageos that has no difficulties in being installed, and is super stable, often surpassing even the Standard Android.
How to update Android to the latest version?
To be able to install the latest Android, it is first necessary to have a Custom Recovery on your Smartphone, you don't know what custom recovery is, we'll explain. Every standard cell phone has the option of a recovery, but it is the default one coming on the cell phone and has the options to give Hard Reset, install updates manually, among others, when you install Custom Recovery it allows you a multitude of functions, one of them is installing roms.
Well, if you don't have a custom recovery, just search the internet: “how to install custom recovery 'Model of your cell phone'” and you will find several tutorials. Once you have the recovery installed, just follow the next steps below:
