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.

Okay so I am currently running nitrogen 7.1.2.
Can I flash 8.0 from TWRP or do I have to unroot and update it from stock? And what is the most stable 8.0 ROM out right now?
There are no custom 8.0 ROMS in the usual sense atm. Going to take a bit while everyone updates the code.

You can flash the factory image if you unpack the zips with
twrp, but you should update bootloader and radio via fastboot first, you can't flash them with twrp. Or you flash the superxe rom, it's the only android O "custom rom", but bootloader and radio first with fastboot.
Here's a TWRP flashable zip for O DP4 Radio (3.84) & Bootloader (3.73) shared by Ramdyc @ https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73242386&postcount=362

Works fine on 7.1.2
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.
My device's battery is near it's end of life and I'd like to replace it, before I risk that, I want to update to latest Bad Boyz Sprint HTC 10 ROM 8.0 Sense 8 v4.0.
Please help me verify workflow.
I am S-off with Root, running stock sprint (basically out of the box, IRC)
Android 6.0.1
Software 1.24.651.3
Kernel 3.18.20
TWRP 3.0.2-4
1) TWRP backup
2) Flash latest TWRP (3.2.1-4-pme.img)
3)Flash new ROM
4) Done
It can't be that easy can it?
Thanks all!
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.
Hi,
I'm testing roms and kernels for my Oneplus 8 Pro and since I'm still not happy with battery life, I was thinking of going back to stock Oxygen OS (Android 11) but install custom kernel (bluspark?) or xXx mod.
Can I just flash it via adb sideload via custom recovery or I have to relock bootloader and do something else?
If just flashing stock OOS image is enough, which one should I use?
Thanks!

Use msmtool, then unlock bootloader, then flash a tooted boot.img for you OOS version, then use a kernel manager like Ex Kenrnel manager to flash a custom kernel

alright. I thought there is a way to flash it directly via recovery instead of going through all the process again.
Where can I find a rooted boot.img for my version? I have the europe/global(?) device and was on latest OOS Android 11.
Or should I rather flash Android 10?
