Hello everyone. I have come up with a lazy way to install custom ROM (such as Cyanogenmod) in *most* phone (I tried this on S3mini and Galaxy MEGA). Please note that this method moght not work on your phone and I am not responsible for bricking your phone.
Things you need:
-Your phone, fully charged
-Your precious time (About 30-60minutes)
-One click root app (I use Kingroot, download it with apk) (You may use other apps, of course)
-TWRP manager from playstore
-ZIP file of TWRP in latest version (V3?)
-ZIP file of the custom ROM matching the version of your device
-ZIP file of GApps matching the version of the custom ROM (Google for gapps and download it)
Steps:
1. Backup your personal information
Copy your personal information such as music, photo, documents out of your phone (e.g.: Cloud drive, USB, SD card). Safety first.
2. Root your phone
Download Kingroot and install the apk with package installer. Run the app and follow the instruction in the app to root.
3. Install TWRP manager
After rooting, install TWRP manager. In the app, install TWRP that match your device.
4. Create a backup for your phone
Boot your phone into recovery (Every phone have different method, so please google about this). In TWRP, press 'Backup' to create the backup.
5. Flash the latest version of TWRP
As the TWRP manager does not offer the latest version of TWRP, you have to flash the latest version by installing ZIP. The latest version of TWRP can install ROM with higher success rate.
To do this, press 'Install' in TWRP. Find the ZIP file of TWRP in latest version and install it.
6. Reboot your device to Recovery mode
7. Wipe your device
In TWRP, press 'Wipe'. Select Cache, Dalvik Cache, System and Data partition and wipe them.
8. Flash custom ROM
In TWRP, press 'Install'. Select the Custom ROM ZIP and install it.
9. Flash GApps
Most custom ROM does not have Google apps such as play stote, so you have to install it.
In TWRP, press 'Install'. Select the GApps ZIP and install it.
10. Wipe Cache and dalvik cache
In TWRP, press 'Wipe'. Select Cache and Dalvik Cache partition and wipe them.
11. Reboot your device
Now the ROM should be properly installed. First boot might take longer, so please wait patiently.
Shall you brick your phone, try to recover by using backup created in step 4.
PS: I am a newbie here and this is my first guide
While you have to wipe your device to flash the custom rom, it will wipe your data, including the actual Gapps and rom. This shows that your method won't work.

Instead of rooting, installing CWM and then installing the ROM, it’s better to just:
• Copy the downloaded ROM to Internal Memory or SDCard (modem file also for L/S versions)
• Download universal fastboot/adb drivers (link provided)
• Turn Off the phone, Press VolUp+VolDown and press power until you are in the bootloader
• From there select Fastboot
• Browse for drivers when prompted and install them (you may have to forcefully install them)
• Download recovery (link provided) and run CWM 6.0.4.8.bat (recommended) or TWRP 2.8.6.0 (may not work well with stock based roms) and the phone should boot straight into recovery
• Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Dalvik
• Formatting System, Data and Cache is up to you
• Install ZIP and when you are about to reboot it’ll ask to disable flash recovery, select NO to keep the stock recovery as you can boot into custom recovery directly anyways
• Stock recovery is a better option for factors resets and adds a little more security of data in case phone is lost/stolen
• Doesn’t matter if you are coming from AOSP or any other ROM. This ROM also installs Modem, Stock Recovery etc…
Enjoy the stock KitKat sweetness
NOTE: You may also try installing the ROM on L/S versions but make sure to install Modem file right after installing the ROM. Links for modem files are also provided here for convenience

I am making available the Nandroid backup of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 T530NN. I searched the net and did not find this available in any format. I have tested this and it will work if installed properly. This Backup will probably work in other Recovery packages, but has only been tested in TWRP 3.0.0-0. You're welcome to re-install any Recovery you wish afterward.
Instructions:
1) Install TWRP 3.0.0-0 (Use the Matisse variant for the T530NN) and boot directly into Recovery.
2) Backup your current configuration. This process WILL wipe everything!
3) Using Android File Transfer or ADB, upload the folder from the expanded Stock_5.0.2_Nandroid_LRX22G.T530NNUEU1BOJ3.zip file to the folder /TWRP/Backup/<your device's serial number>/ of either the Internal Storage, or SD Card, whichever you did your Backup to in step 2..
4) Select Wipe to wipe the Data, Cache and Dalvik partitions.
5) Still in TWRP Recovery, select Restore to restore the Stock_5.0.2_Nandroid_LRX22G.T530NNUEU1BOJ3 package. This will overwrite Everything! You can probably get by with selecting only the System, but I saved everything to be sure to get a full reset to stock.
6) Reboot into Recovery again to allow TWRP to make adjustments to the System to keep it rooted.
7) Reboot into System. This will take you through the initial setup to activate your Gmail account and such.
8) Install SuperSU from the Play Store to complete the Rooting. If you'd rather render the tablet un-rooted, that option is in SuperSU's Settings.
I hope I posted this correctly. If not, I welcome admins to properly chastise me.

A: Either do this:
Download this folder and use one of the two ".bat" files. Boot into Bootloader via Volume Down and Power Button. --
It will flash S048 Firmware of our Lenovo P2, after the flash-process is finished it will boot up on its own. Recommended: Do all the ota updates via ota app.
Or: Boot into bootloader, via adb cmd prompt use: fastboot boot lineagerecovery.img , then use reboot menu to reboot into twrp. Clean Wipe phone(Wipe system,data, cache and dalvik-cache Partitions) and try flashing your Rom etc. again.

Here I Prefer to Make Guide On Decrypted Device only Because Decrypted Device Giv's more flexibility while Switching ROM's.
Reasons are simple.. Flashing ROM over Encrypted device might Loose data if anything goes wrong..
For Decryption, Follow @HatRiGt Guide..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/tutorial-decrypt-flash-rom-pie-oreo-roms-t3838643

2. Follow Exactly Same Steps & Flash Exactly same ZIP's for avoid Potential data loss..
3. Flashing Magisk is totally upto you. Flash it if you want to keep rooted(You migh need it if you pay Google Pay as SafetyNet not passing on Android 10 & need module to fix it)..
4. Use No-Verity-Treble zip only from this Post as One Given in @HatRiGt Guide is only for Pie Based ROM's.. Attached ZIP is Working on Both Android 9 & 10.. Don't complain/Blame me if you did something wrong..
