i installed custom rom in 2026
I installed a Custom ROM on my OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite… and things did NOT go according to plan 💀
What started as a simple experiment turned into me almost bricking my phone, spending hours in Fastboot/Recovery, dealing with bootloops, flashing partitions, installing Evolution X, rooting with Magisk and eventually discovering another problem — banking apps and Google Pay.
In this video, I share the complete experience: what went wrong, how I managed to recover the phone, what I learned about custom ROMs/rooting, and whether installing a custom ROM is actually worth it in 2026.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER:
This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only. Unlocking the bootloader, flashing custom ROMs, rooting or modifying system partitions can cause data loss, break banking apps, void support/warranty conditions, or even brick your device. Do your own research before trying anything shown in this video.
