If b380 required you cannot flash it on b350.. It will cause some issues..
You can unroot. Flash stock recovery and update to b381..
And then flash twrp and flash custom rom..

no need to install b380 update,just install twrp recovery and install roms.i have tested rros,lineage os and aosp oreo rom. They all work fine

Thank you everyone.. are there any major bugs in 7.1.2 RR that i have to worry about..??

SO what do you suggest.. should i stick with Stock as of now and wait for stable build of Oreo or just flash custom rom with some minor bugs.. I do use camera a lot but not GPS

No you dont have to flash files all over again...
Just restore stock backup if you do t like custom roms..

Rommco05 said:
Flashing backup can help only for restore phone because if you use twrp backup your will not work camera, bluetooth etc. For restore stock you need to flash full firmware (PV) over twrp. But make backup anyway just for case

If the custom ROM itself did not come as Lollipop when you flashed it, it cannot be "updated" to Lollipop. Instead, look for a version of your custom ROM that specifically states that it comes as Android Lollipop, and then flash that in your custom recovery.

I have official 5.1 rom installed,can i install 64-bit TWRP?
Yes, but it should be better to use 32bit because that system is 32bit too. So u should flash twrp 2.8.7.0 via flashify or from sp flash tool
But if i want to install a custom 64bit rom,then i can use the 64bit version,yes?

Yes but u need to flash some 64bit ROM from PC like firmware upgrade to modify system partitions. For example aosp , after that u will have 64bit twrp in ur phone (twrp is in ROM zip)
Install thru sp flash tools not thru TWRP recovery
yes via SP Flash tool u flash for example AOSP 64bit ROM (thtas include TWRP 2.8.7.7 64bit) after that u reboot phone and wait to complete boot up, after that u can flash via TWRP any other Lollipop 64bit rom (dont forget to 64bit gapps) or u can flash newest 3.0.2 TWRP (64bit of course) its inclode some features - multilanguage and instal system.img so if u "upgrade" TWRP to 3.0.2 u "never" need pc for flash any rom , that 302 twrp is on my GDrive. like many others roms kernels ... etc
Deos the AOSP rom work better then the official stock rom? If i flash it, is it possible to flash back the stock rom?
EDIT: only russian,english language,soo a no for me,will try the cm12.1 rom. Is there any rom that has Slovenian Language included,or is there a way to download it?

Hop aosp is better than stock like every custom ROM on this phone , only stock kk is good.
U need aosp only for flash via PC after that u can flash any ROM what u want. Yeah a few ROM is only end RU and Chinese, but for example vibe ROMs almost all is multi ,
I would love to have cm12.1 but there is no Slovenian language, is there any way to implement it in?

I think it's 2 ways, first is talk to vgdn1942 (author of this ROM) or second ,translate it by some sw tool/program for PC . but I think first way is too much better he add for us Cz and SK language
It's (one of) best ROM for this phone.

I just tried to flash the kernel at the link ( V13 -> Boot_P70_v13.zip ) and it failed. Gave some errors like couldnt find something so it cancelled.
Then i opened the zip file. There is a file named "boot_aosp.img"
i flashed it using Flashify and now i can not open my phone i guess i bricked it.
Now im going to recovery my phone with your rom. this gave me a chance to try it
but i am still afraid about how to install a kernel ? this way above didnt work for me. is there anyone installed kernel succesfully and how did you do it?

btw can you tell me which version you re using ?
there are miui v7.1.3
miui v7.1.4.0
miui v7.2.1.0
U can flash kernels via flashtool twrp or by flashify . but its going about what kernel and what rom is it . if that kernel is only *.img u can instal it by apk or twrp only, if in zip u should check , scatter file in zip if it with scatter u can flash i via flashtool only if not u should flash it via twrp or extract it and flash by some app like flashify but it can run bad - without taht other files in zip. But most importent of all is what version of android and rom it is support , some support only aosp vdt and cm , or only miui . if i want to use some of vdgn1942 kernels on diferent rom than cm aosp aicp and vdt u must extract aosp.img kernel and past it to v6 version instent of kernel it that zip , because v6 is last version without checking rom .

Android version 7 vs Base build 6.0.1

Any help would be appreciated

Require Nougat Stock ROM base before flashing 7.0 custom ROM?

I have XsteStoLite Rom (6.0.1) installed over stock 6.0.1 and I want to upgrade to a Nougat custom ROM. However, my device does not have the stock 7.0 firmware out yet (if it will ever get released). Do I need to flash a stock 7.0 firmware from another country to serve as base ROM (kernel, other stuff) or can I flash Nougat custom ROMs on top of stock 6.0.1? Thanks.
No, Marshmallow and Nougat uses the same bootloader so you dont have to update ota
