I flashed TWRP recovery 6 months ago. Using 4.4.4 Android. I would like to update at least to 5.0 or something. Can someone post me a ROM or backup so I can restore?

I bought a 32 GB Nexus 7 2013 version today and already rooted it with TowelRoot and installed TWRP 2.8.2.2 via flashify. I have backed up the stock rooted setup.
Android version is still 4.3 with build number listed as JSS15J. I thought of flashing the CleanROM 4.0 released 12/10/14 that is Lollipop based.
Do I do anything else besides flashing the 4.04 flashable bootloader before flashing the ROM clean?
Thanks for the help.
Otherwise, what ROMs will flash on my current setup? Thanks so much.
Update. Did as mentioned above and all is well. I'll figure out removing system apps to install signed blacked out ones shortly I guess. Gmail is an example...
Hi everyone
I have been using the last 3 stable builds of CM11 on my Note 3 (SM-N9005) for the past few months, the latest being the stable snapshot for November 2014. I tries to update to a nightly build of 5.0 Lollipop but it failed when booting each time (came up with errors) so went back to CM11 for the time being. I now want to revert back to stock to sell the phone, but am having lots of trouble.
I used Odin 3.09 with the last official rom (4.4.2) but once it rebooted it got stuck after the Samsung logo and wouldn't boot. I tried redoing it a few times with the same result, so, worried I'd bricked it. reinstalled CM11. Thnakfully I got a working phone again. I really want to try and get back to stock but am nervous about trying again.
I can follow instructions etc to do this, but Idon't understand bootloaders etc. Have I stopped myself being able to get back to stock 4.4.2 by using CM11 4.4.4 or even by partially completing an upgrade to a CM12 nightly? If I could find a Clockwork Mod backup of 4.4.2 would that install from recovery or would I get the same boot issue as I did when I tried a clean install?
Hope someone can advise me.
Thanks

Try to flash lollipop leaked!!!
I'm a bit reluctant to do that as the nightly cm12 failed. Do you mean a leaked stock Lollipop 5? I just wanted a Samsung firmware on it before I sell it!
I'm coming from 4.4.1 I want to flash a Lollipop ROM, I haven't flashed for very nearly 2 years. I'm obviously rooted already.
Is coming from KitKat as simple as just flashing a Lollipop ROM? I'm an SM-9005, I've got Odin 3.10 and I want to flash Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.5.
I've seen that I need to backup my PIT and obviously backup my current ROM, do I need to update my baseband or radio etc?
No one?
No need to backup your baseband or radio. RR is an AOSP ROM as far as I know, so you won't be able to flash it with Odin I'm guessing, as it comes as a zip package? I don't have any interest or idea about it, but you can only flash via Odin if the ROM comes as tar image.
Also as you are coming from KK, you 'might' need to flash a stock Lollipop ROM first to update the bootloader from KK to LP, read RR topic, see if its mentioned or not. If its not then you probably don't need to, but as I said no idea.
From day one on my new Op2 I flashed the official MM 3.0 Beta. After a week I decided to try the 2.2.1 Lollipop to see if anything were different... I had to use a kind of downgrade and recovery to downgrade and once that was done everything went fine.
Now I want to try a MM Rom (not the official beta). Can I just flash any MM rom, as long as I have a recovery that supports both Lollipop and Marshmallow (I saw one in the forum) or do I have to do anything else?

Just flash rom and gapps normally. Depends on rom which modem you need. You can check it from op.
First is your bootloader unlock and do you have TWRP?
Hi i wanted to know the upgrade process from stock 4.3 to 6.0.1 I have root and custom recovery.
Can someone tell me which files I will be needing and if i need a bootloader upgrade? Is it going to android 4.4.4 then 5.0 then 6.0? Many thanks.

Do you mean a custom rom ??As their is no 6 from Samsung .
If so then you read that roms instructions first .
Back up your EFS .
Yes I would like to upgrade the rom to custom rom. I have read the instructions for that rom N7 rom and it says to place it in your phone and flash it basically but I wouldn't think thats possible without flashing android 4.4.4 then 5.0 and 6.0? Can anyone that has upgraded explain how they have gone about doing this?

You can flash Android 5 stock for your phone .
But 6 does not exist for Note 3 .
Since android 6.0 is a custom rom, it must be flashed with twrp which is a custom recovery. I recommend installing the latest bootloader and modem to the phone before flashing a custom rom.
