How to install ‘DreamUX’ Galaxy S8 Style Nougat ROM For Galaxy S5

Samsung had launched the Galaxy S5 smartphone a couple of years back and at the time of the launch, it was pretty much the best performing device out there in the market. It had all the latest set of specs, which was combined with latest software as well. However, now after all these years, the software experience on this particular device is not really the best out there. It is still running the older versions of Android and as of now, we don’t have any official confirmation from Samsung as well on the updates.

So if you own this smartphone and if you wish to update the software to something new, then your only option is to flash a custom ROM manually.

  5. Now simply turn off your device and enter into the recovery mode. You can do this pressing Vol UP + Home + Power Key at the same time.
  6. After this, make sure you wipe your data. For this, look for wipe and format option ⇒ Wipe Dalvik cache, system, data, cache in recovery.
  7. Once that is done, get back to recovery menu and tap install.
  8. And now at this point, you need to navigate to S5 DreamUX C9 Pro V1.zip file which you had downloaded earlier from the link given above.
