motorola moto g45 custom rom

If you're looking to install a custom ROM on a Motorola Moto G45, there are several steps and considerations you need to keep in mind. Here’s a general guide to help you through the process:

### **Prerequisites:**

1. **Backup Your Data:**
   - Backup all important data on your device. Installing a custom ROM typically erases all data.

2. **Unlock Bootloader:**
   - You'll need to unlock the bootloader to install a custom recovery. This usually involves enabling Developer Options on your device and using fastboot commands.

3. **Custom Recovery:**
   - You need to install a custom recovery, such as TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project), to flash the custom ROM. 

4. **Download Custom ROM:**
   - Find a compatible custom ROM for your Motorola Moto G45. Websites like XDA Developers are good sources for custom ROMs.

5. **Download GApps (Optional):**
   - If the custom ROM doesn't include Google Apps, consider downloading a GApps package if you want access to Google services.

### **Steps to Install a Custom ROM:**

#### 1. **Unlock the Bootloader:**
   - Enable Developer Options on the device (Go to Settings > About Phone > tap Build Number 7 times).
   - Go to Developer Options and enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging.
   - Connect your device to the computer and use `adb` and `fastboot` tools to unlock the bootloader:
     ```bash
     adb reboot bootloader
     fastboot oem unlock
     ```

#### 2. **Install Custom Recovery:**
   - Download the latest TWRP image for Moto G45.
   - Use the command:
     ```bash
     fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img]
     ```
   - Replace `[recovery.img]` with the path of your downloaded recovery image.

#### 3. **Boot into Recovery Mode:**
   - After installation, boot into recovery mode by powering off the device and then pressing the Volume Down + Power button.

#### 4. **Wipe Data:**
   - In TWRP, select “Wipe” and do a factory reset (wipe cache, dalvik cache, and data).

#### 5. **Install Custom ROM:**
   - In TWRP, go to “Install” and select the custom ROM zip file you downloaded. Swipe to confirm the installation.

#### 6. **Install GApps (if needed):**
   - If you downloaded GApps, install the zip file the same way as the ROM.

#### 7. **Reboot:**
   - After installation is complete, reboot your device. The first boot may take longer than usual.

### **Important Notes:**

- **Research:** Not all ROMs are stable. Check forums (like XDA) for user reviews and recommendations for your device.
- **Warranty:** Unlocking the bootloader and installing custom software may void your warranty.
- **Risks:** There’s always a risk of bricking your device, so proceed with caution.

Ensure that you understand each step and are comfortable with the risks involved in modding your device. Good luck!
