HELP regarding Upgrade to MM STOCK ROM OR CM 13.0 !!!

Hi guys, its been a few days since I joined here. [Read : I am a noob/newbie in Android related things, and I desperately need help.]
In July (maybe, I forgot), I rooted my ZE550KL, using exactly this method from the website of www-asus-zenfone-com. :cyclops:
Now that, my android seems aged, I wanna shift/upgrade to Marshmallow/Nougat, be it Stock or Custom ROM.
Few days earlier, I unlocked my Bootloader using the Unofficial Bootloader Unlocking Method, as found on this Forum.
I also installed TWRP Recovery, and I tried to flash CM-14.1 [7.1] Nougat-Nightly through TWRP, but, unfortunately, resulted in Status 7 Error. I tried to solve the problem by removing "asserts" section in Update-Binary text file, in the build. But, again, I seemingly worsened the problem; as I got Status 6 error thereby. So, I did factory reset, and I still retain root.
Now, today as I am going through the Official thread of CM 14.1 Nougat, I saw numerous users reporting Bugs of connection issues (something like Wifi to Mobile Data switch problem), which I would like to OBVIOUSLY AVOID, as I want a stable, bug-less build. So, I am thinking to go with the last snapshot build of CM 13.0 Marshmallow.
Here comes the my question : " SHOULD I FLASH CM 13.0 MM -- OR -- STOCK ROM OF MM -- OR -- RESURRECTION REMIX MM ROM?? "
In any of the case, please guide me through the process of doing so.
And, if I have to flash CM 13.0 MM, what would I do if I encounter Status Error 7 again ? :crying:

first you have to upgrade it to marshmallow using stock rom. Then you can flash cm13 or cm14.1

While flashing CM13 if that error 7 includes "asus.verify trustzone failed..." Then its bcoz of need to update modem files (LP to MM)....
Easy way to overcome it is..... download MM modem ZIP from second post of OFFICIAL CM13 thread (120MB) and flash it using TWRP (If you are using twrp).... THEN you can flash cm13 hopefully without error 7....
If you are using stock recovery then Either u can flash twrp and use above method... OR... Download ASUS ZE550KL firmware zip file from ASUS site (1.6GB) .... Put it in SDCARD... Then boot to stock recovery and use "apply update from sdcard" option... select ZIP... Alongwith firmware Ur Modem files will also update to MM... and now u can flash twrp and then cm13...
sorry.. I know if i am lazy to post direct links...
Try it.. I will help if i can

We have both stable RR and CM13.
CM is simple and clean and less loaded.... RR is most feature rich Custom rom we have alongwith stability...
Rest depends on what type of user, u are... If u like trying differnt ROMs... Start with CM13...
If u just want to have a feature rich longtime setup, U can use RR directly without wasting time... It is based on CM, So it obviously have everything CM has.... :good:

Help needed for upgrade

Hi there,
I'm using 4.4.2 wanamlite 2.9 rom on a i9505 with twrp 2.8.
Recently I encountered lot of problems like modem not working properly, rebooting, videos playing in slowmo, no sound etc... weird stuff...
I'm convinced to upgrade to (lets say) marshmallow (any custom rom) but I dunno how to do it properly. So here my questions:
- should I flash the stock rom and start again with root / custom rom etc? Or...
- should I upgrade with odin to stock modem and bootloader first, and after that install a custom rom via twrp? Which way is the correct one?
Btw. Should I upgrade to lolli, marsh or 7.x? Dunno whats better. I'm using touchwiz with xposed framework. I dont need tw but i find xposed very helpful. Any advice or link to guides?
Thanx

Upgrade the individual components. In your case, that means recovery, bootloader, and modem via Odin. Your copy of TWRP is ancient and the newer versions of Android need a newer version of TWRP to properly flash them. Once you've upgraded the components, download any Android 6.x ROM for your device - since you want Xposed - and flash it via TWRP. Android 7.x ROMs are available for your device, but Xposed does not work on them, and I don't expect it to work any time soon.

Thanx Stephron.
Yesterday I updated via .img the recovery (TWRP 3.2).
Now I'll look for bootloader and modem. Should I use the stock ones or are on xda some threads with better modems and bootloaders?
I think I'm going for resurrection remix or for some aosp. Any experience?
Best and happy new year .

It's because you are flashing MM rom (except cm13) and you are on Lollipop or vice versa.

You must be on Lollipop to flash RR 6.0.1, just like CM13.

Possible problems,
- the rom is not for your device or variant
- The bootloader is for another version of Android
- Twrp was compiled with a different version of Android so are you going to get an error.
- Your bad luck exceeds an acceptable level ... ???

You get green screen when:
1) You flash MM ROMs (based on stock Touchwiz MM) over Lollipop and vice versa.
2) You flash MM/N ROMs (based on AOSP/CM such as LOS13, AOSIP, Mokee etc.) over Lollipop and vice versa.
3) I can't confirm this, but based on your comment, you get green screen when you flash a MM kernel over Lollipop and of course, vice versa too.

For those, who -as I did - don't really understand this (see the quote)...
I had the same issue when I wanted to install a custom Marshmallow ROM (6.0.1) over my stock Lollipop (5.1.1). The solution was to download and flash a new Bootloader and Modem with Odin. See tis:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/6-0-1-5-1-1-bootloader-modem-j500xx-t3566801

I just ran into this error while trying to install a custom ROM for my J500H.
My phone was running latest 6.0.1. I installed TWRP from This thread, then installed followed the instructions to install Resurrection Remix (7.1.2), but on first boot i got the green screen with the error (set warranty bit: kernel). Also tried Lineage 14.0 but doesn't work. I can still enter TWRP and download mode after getting this error.
This is my first time flashing a Samsung device. Could someone tell me what i did wrong?

Sorry, first time i didn't your post till the end.
First of all.
Restore firmware with "Samsung smart switch".
You can downgrade to 5.1.1 by this instruction.
1.Flash this firmware by Odin
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-pt1IG7T4hmVzhuMnRyeTBjTGM/view?usp=drivesdk
(Before flashing, wipe all storages(all except internal, external in advanced wipe. If you have stock recovery, you must do both wipes)
2. After first boot flash recovery from Vince
(for both bootloaders)
3. Before flashing RR5.8.4 wipe all storages too( all, except extrnl and intrlnl)
4. Flash RR and gapps.
5. Wipe data and cache.

not able to flash twrp

Hi guys I have rooted my YU yureka cm 11. Its been 2 days I am trying to flash twrp on my device using both twrp official app and twrp manager. I have tried 3.1,3.0,3.02 versions while flashing. After flashing it says successfull but when I tried to reboot into recovery the mobile stucks on YU logo I think gets bricked this is what happening every time

CM11?
Any reason to sticking with CM11?
It is a 32 bit ROM and TWRP you're trying to flash is 64 bit. It won't get flashed ever.
Better install COS12.1 or any other custom ROMs.

There is no any specific reason for sticking with cm11 I thought it is most stable.
So is there any way I can flash twrp?
Or do I have to upgrade to cm 12.1 and then try to flash?
Can you recommend me any rom with better stability for yureka?

First try to upgrade to COS12.1 and than flash TWRP.
There are lots of N custom ROMs available and is stable. You can find more about them here or at YU Forum.

Flash Cos12.1 via fastboot, as it will change ur architecture from 32bit to 64bit...
Then check bootloader status, and if locked, unlock it as well, flash TWRP and enjoy custom ROMs,
Nougat ROMs are much stable now
For any problem, feel free to ask,
Thank YOU

thanks
Thank you very much guys , your help is very very appreciated.
