I'm finally rooted and running stock 10j based rom. My question is, if I install a rom with another base, say weta Rom which is think is running 10k, will I run into problems? I tried upgrading my base with a 10k twrp flashable zip but ended up losing root and twrp.

Hi I currently use the custom ROM Renovate 2.1, and want to update to 3.0, which was just released on 22nd July.
So if I just want to update a custom ROM, do I still have to backup all apps with Titanium Backup, and do a factory reset with TWRP before flashing the updated custom ROM? Or can I skip these steps?

So I just did a dirty flash anyway, and it seems I didn't lose anything, but I just noticed that Xposed Framework is now gone.
Do I lose anything besides Xposed Framework after dirty flashing a new version of a ROM?
By the way, do people usually dirty flash when updating a custom ROM? Is it safe to dirty flash when installing a new version of a ROM?
Usually its specific to the ROM that you're trying to flash. However, as a reference, if there aren't any major features added, it's probably safe to dirty flash it. They'll hopefully indicate if you should wipe in the instructions, though.
Currently running the latest/last Euphoria rom on my n4, prior to that it was factory OTA'd up to 5.1 so the radio is bang up to date I would imagine.
For nostalgic reasons, I want to flash Mahdi rom. Is it as simple as flashing the rom on twrp, or will I need to flash via adb the the newest 4,4.4 radio too? I don't want to run into wifi/signal issues down the road.
Thanks.
I recommend flashing TWRP and then the ROM. If you run into an issue, then start changing bootloadesr and modems.
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 .

There are no custom modems and bootloaders.

I'm currently on latest stock Nougat with BL unlocked and rooted + ElementalX kernel. I want to upgrade to stock Oreo but after a ton of reading it looks like everything can go wrong with efs and persist. Is the following process correct:
- flash [Oreo][Stock][Rom] TWRP Flashable Stock Builds.
- flash ElementalX latest version for Oreo
- Root with Magisk
Would this process keep my bootloader unlocked, with signal and safe from bricks?
Thank you for your help.
Hello, My G935F has currently Lightrom installed with latest modem and bootloader, TWRP as well..
My question is, how can I install the Batman rom, which is Nougat based and according to reviews, has better battery life? Is there a particular procedure I must follow in TWRP (for example, install older bootloader as .zip) , or can I flash the ROM right away?
Thanks in advance.
