I updated from KitKat to Nougat(RR 7.1.2 by devharsh) and I am not experiencing any issues.
If you are still on KitKat...I say go for it.

I did that once, because I thought that banking apps were easier to use on a phone, but old android is just soooo bad, I just couldn't stand it.
I tried running 4.4 for a while, but every time there was no signal, it just shut down. I tried upgrading to official 5.*, and it became extremely laggy. Tried different versions, but nothing worked better.
You can try it, but I don't recommend going back if you are already using 7.1 for a while, because you just get so much used to all of the functions.
If you want to try, first you have to get stock recovery because stock rom won't run from trwp.
I did it with the flashing utility, where you have to connect your phone and make it go to service mode.

Nope. Works for OS3 too. I believe the firmware is what's causing your bootloops. give it a shot.

I understand you want PA, but your firmware needs to be MM firmware. So you can either flash that or flash the official OS3 first then flash PA.

[Guide] How to update to the Official MM safely from any rom.

Whether you come from Beta MM, LP or any other roms, if you want to update to update to the Official MM with no concern of bricking your phones, I advise you to flash the latest LP raw firmware (WW_ZE551ML_2.20.40.194_20160713.raw firmware), then ADB sideload the latest Official MM zip.
Download Link for the latest LP raw firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/wwze551ml2-20-40-19420160713-raw-t3437416

You go straight to MM from 194 version. But make sure you fully unroot before ugrading to MM if you currently have root. If not, just sideload the MM zip and do a factory reset when you're finished.

From fastboot, you have to flash the LP raw image which is in OP. Then, you can sideload the latest MM zip.

[Q][HELP] A6000 1 GB RAM 8 GB ROM Variant

Hi, I'm new to Lenovo A6000. I have a relative that has a softbricked A6000. I wiped the phone via stock recovery, and no problems afterwards.
I wanted to flash custom ROMs for my relatives A6000, but I can't seem to flash the latest custom recovery (TWRP). It always fails. Never boots to recovery. I did some research here and there by reading in XDA and found some interesting things.
The question is:
What is the device that I'm using? How do I find out what it is? is it WT86518 or WT86528?
The phone's running on Stock KK ROM Kraft S037, Is there a problem on flashing custom recovery via fastboot when using this version of stockrom? Or there's something else wrong? Should I update it via OTA then try flashing it or is there an easier way of flashing it?
It's the old 2015 A6000. With 1 GB RAM and 8 GB ROM.
I'm pretty familiar with fastboot commands, so it's just weird that I can't flash TWRP in it. I even can't hotboot it (fastboot boot blabla.img).
Thanks before, please do reply.
So on which ROM are you just now

Thanks for the reply, mate! Thanks for the links too! But I'd prefer using TWRP than CWM. So what do I have to do to be able to use TWRP? Do I have to update stock rom to Lollipop first? Or does it mean TWRP isn't compatible at all?

One more question, do I have to like.. update the stock rom to lollipop or can I just use the 'Kitkat-lolipop firmware base switcher for a6000' method by @rahulsnair ? Thanks a lot mate for the info! :good:
*PS. I tried that version of TWRP firsthand before I posted this thread, so it means what made TWRP incompatible was because of the HH itself was still on old KK right?

Yeah exactly. Flash the firmware base switcher (for A6000 by rahulsnair and for A6000plus by me, sasukay).
Steps:
0. Flash the cwm or twrp 2.6.x (i guess) which works on KK
1. Then boot into custom recovery you've installed.
2. Then flash the firmware base switcher.
3. Now you can flash the latest twrp using fastboot which is meant for Lollipop and newer versions.

Thanks for the reply sasukay! Yeah! I had a hunch that the latest TWRP didn't boot was because of stock KK! I consulted to a friend that was using A6000 Plus before I did all of this, he told me he was on stock 'LP' when he flashed latest TWRP and he didn't tell me (or more like he didn't know) that the A6000 has to be on LP before flashing latest TWRP. Hope nothing goes wrong now. Wish me luck! :laugh: :good: :highfive: :fingers-crossed:

Its been a while since I installed it myself but from what I remember, I believe it only worked if it was flashed over the stock g2 kitkat (or jellybean) rom. I've never really used bootstacks myself so I don't really know which one to go for, however I'd assume you could start by looking for ones made for kitkat.
Personally, I would do a clean install of the stock kk rom, reroot, flash custom recovery, and then install cm11.
