Do let us know if you have any questions. 🙂
Is it official?
Will it any way adversely affect my phone or its warranty?
If I install this, will I still be eligible for future updates? OR I will have to do this every time?
It’s clearly mentioned that it’s official and you can make that out by checking the download URL. No effect on warranty and you’ll continue to get OTA updates like before.
Has any one done Manual update.
AAPNE 646 MB KI ZIP FILE DI HE BUT OTA ME TO 677 MB KI FILE HE TO 31 MB DATA TO NAHI AA RHA HE AAPKI ZIP FILE ME AISA KYU ?
The file is zipped one that’s why lesser size. I knew someone will ask this question that why added that it’s unzipped along with file size. 🙂 It’s the official file, check the download link:

What happens if I update it via cwm recovery??
The update for CyanogenMod 12 is good with smooth performance. But the power drain problem has not been recovered yet. Heating problem is reduced a bit. When update is installed you might come across lagging problem for some time but it recovers and runs without any issue later. In upcoming update cyanogen should work towards power efficient versions. Lastly if you want a great UI with advantages of lollypop the cm12 is all you looking about.
I missed the step- \”wipe data/factory reset\” , will any problem be there?
