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:

[Discussion] VoLte Not Working in any Nougat Rom

I made this thread just to make sure i'm not the only one for whom VoLte doesn't seem to work on any rom except Miui and Aosp 5.0. I've tried so hard to get VoLte restored efs from miui mm tried differet roms, bricked my device no. of times experimenting but all in vain. VoLte is not a big deal for me ( i can use Jio4gvoice) but yet it's working for so many people and i get sometimes jealous. Moreover i don't wanna go back to MiUi.
If anyone after going through all this trouble was able to enable VoLte in any Nougat rom please do share your experience. It may be helpful for so many users searching for the VoLte fix here and there in all the threads.

I also try so many things but finally a got volte....
First i flash other rom by Abhishek987 cyanogenmod 14.1 as described in op restart and finishing Complete booting
I got volte....
Again boot in zxc twrp recovery
factory reset
Flash remix rom follow gaps pico
Restart.. Again i got volte
That's it.

Use zcx twrp, try leak aosp 6.0.1 which has volte.

Hi there! Recently i got VoLte working on every single rom. I will make a thread soon of the procedure i follwed.
P.s- That procedure will work 110%
Edit- follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-volte-fix-nougat-roms-users-t3518614

Hi there,
I tried almost all the nougat ROMs here and none of them were working for VoLTE. So decided to follow the Nougat VoLTE Patch thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/red.../volte-patches-nougat-based-cm-roms-t3509257], but it still didn't work while following the procedure provided on the thread. So I decided to play on myself and did a few trail and error.
Somehow this worked for me to get the VoLTE working:
- I downloaded the Abhishek's
CM14.1 and Firmware which said to have the VoLTE support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-1-t3500569
- Then I downloaded the lastest SuperSU to flash because I had flashed a MIUI Global Stable, so it had locked my bootloader again and I wanted to root again, and I think this is what did the trick but I'm not sure: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
- Downloaded the volte_cm-161123TheStrix.zip and the volte.zip from the Nougat VoLTE Patch thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=18113#downloads
- Then I flashed them in this sequence by adding them all together in queue in TWRP.
First I wiped system, data, cache/dalvik in TWRP (I already had a backup)
Then added SuperSU>Firmware>CM14.1>volte_cm-161123TheStrix.zip>volte.zip to the flash queue and flashed them all together and rebooted. It got stuck in the bootloop, so booted into fastboot and rebooted again by holding the power button. Then it booted successfully and had the HD :laugh:
Then my aim was to flash the latest RR which had the VoLTE, so I followed the same procedure and added this RR to the queue instead of Abhishek's CM14.1 and it worked there too :laugh: :http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-resurrectionremix-5-8-0-t3507433
Hope this helps!

[Guide] VoLte fix on Nougat Roms (for some users)

Hi there! Unfortunately, i never got VoLte working on any rom besides miui and aosp 5.0. K kept on following all the guides found here and there for the fix but never got Volte working. At first i thought i'n the only one unlucky but there were some other users too like me searching for a fix. If you're the one then follow this guide to get Volte working on Nougat roms.:fingers-crossed:
Note: Make sure to follow the exact same procedure.
Prerequisites:-
Efs backup of Miui mm
cm14 firmware link - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224398629
cm13 modified radios link-https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_oG85LcjcuRbE1mQ25MMmYxYVU/view
Any Volte supported Nougat Rom
Steps
First flash miui mm rom and let it boot. If you see Volte then reboot to recovery and make efs backup (use alka or zcx recovery).
Now clean flash any Nougat rom i flashed RR 5.8.0, then flash gapps and flash cm14 firmware and reboot.
(IMPORTANT STEP) If Volte is not working for you then reboot to recovery and flash cm13 modified radios (no need to wipe anything) and then finally restore efs and reboot.
Now you'll see hd icon but no service in sim 2 since we flashed cm13 radios. So, now do this final step. Now reboot to recovery and flash again cm14 firmware and then restore efs and reboot.
Now you will get Volte working and sim2 too.

I'm sorry but it seems Aoscp rom doesn't support volte by default. It needs to be patched. Volte patch for different roms is available here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/volte-patches-nougat-based-cm-roms-t3509257
If still Volte is not working for you then follow my guide. It's just a guide to get volte working for some users for those volte wasn't working.

Well aoscp does support volte in a test buid which the dev posted in the thread. It has not been added in OP yet. Anyways, I tried this guide but didn't work for me.

please hlp
i tried almost every thing avilable on xda and miui forms ... follow the exact thing on the guids ..but no luck ho... really fed up can any one help me???? tried al most all roms avail on xda which supports volte but no luck

Volte in sim2? R u sure??

Didn't worked...I had the efs backup of 6.11.3 version miui so didnt flashed it...n followed the procedure as mentioned but no success.
Volte works flawlessly on 7.1.0 version ROMs n not on 7.1.1 versions ROMs (for me)

Can me tell me what you modified with cm 13 radios zip .u deleted others except modem aka Non-Hlos.bin.also flashing cm 14 firmware and restoring efs again cause no volte issue except on official rr and Abhishek's cm and santhosh cm.

What im trying to tell is that my problem is not only installation in custom roms but i also cant install any other roms eiether from official site or some other site which means i cant install any roms accept the one the stock rom i mentioned above. And also i already tried to install MM firmware but it gives out error code 7 in twrp. I tried as i was said to install the previous version of lollipop before the update of MM came out but still i cant install them.

Which Android u r using now
Lolipop or MM

is your bootloader locked on unlocked?
just go back to stock versions for now
if u r on lollipop, download the 'next version' from asus
if u r on marshmallow, download the next version from asus
use fastboot (bootloader) mode to flash if required
when all is stable and done,
download & flash twrp
flash lineage 13, then lineage 14

Nope. There is a file. Firmware-upgrade.zip. something like that. Flashing that would work if you had nougat as base instead of oreo.

Flash the 8.1 firmware. (recommended) Check XDA, you'll get it.
otherwise you can flash a zip which will enable the fingerprint sensor but you won't get nfc.
Best option is to flash the 8.1 firmware update, make sure to uncheck erase EFS.
After sucessfully flashing it, flash any custom rom of your choice.
