Update OnePlus 5 to Liquid Remix 8.0 Custom Firmware

Liquid Remix is a Custom ROM for OnePlus 5. It is based on the latest Android 8.0 Oreo. The ROM is an Old Lead of the well known Liquid Smooth Custom Firmware developed by the Recognised XDA Developers. This new age ROM is built with the combinations of all new best ROMs out today with an added flavour of the old Liquid Smooth.

The Developers have done an impressive job by adding an official support in a Telegraph Group. The Official download site is also regularly updated for this Cheeseburger Package.

You can Install Liquid Remix 8.0 Oreo Custom Firmware in the OnePlus 5 using our tutorial below. Your phone should have the Bootloader Unlocked, and a custom recovery like TWRP installed from before. We will be covering entire step-by-step instructions for installing this firmware.

NOTE: This ROM will not work on an Encrypted Phone! Phone must be Dycrypted!

If this is your first time when you are installing a Custom ROM or an Official Firmware, we understand you would want to make sure that everything goes smooth. So before actually performing anything on your device, make sure to backup all your Data, Files, Contacts, WhatsApp chats and SMS.
