This is what I do
1. One Click back to EL29
2. Get GPS lock
3. Flash EL29 directboot CWM with Mobile Odin
4. Factory reset, wipe C & DC
5. Flash Rom
6. Flash GAPPS
7. Reboot
8. reboot to Recovery
9 Wipe C & DC
10. Flash Tweaks, modems, 4.2 goodies, etc
11. Reboot
I have never had issues other than a bad rom DL using this method. More experienced users probably skip a step or more along the way, but this has never let me down. No triangles or Flash counts using this way either.

Modem and kernel do not really matter you can change those and flash them any time.
If you are doing a TW ROM make sure you have a custom recovery (If you are stock this is when you would flash a kernel). Usually you would want to run a wipe all type zip or do a wipe in the recovery(If it is a safe recovery) Once you have that flash the ROM. If you are doing an AOSP ROM do the same first step but when you are in recovery flashing the ROM also flash the Gapps.
Once you have that done you can go nuts on whatever tweaks/modems/kernels you would like to mess with.
Why can you use mobile odin for everything/? Like lets say me
About to do a update to my rom (no wipe)
So I can just Flash the Rom (wipe cache and dalvik in mobikle odin) restart
flash gapps mobile odin? right?
Or is this bad idea. I only use mobile odin to flash once before and it worked I lvoed how easy was... was a recovery though not a rom or eta update
If your updating

*your ROM, most of the time you just have to wipe cache and dalvik. And you can use recovery menu to do it

I want to flash the deodexed LJC stock rom to do the multi window mod hack. The problem is that I don't want to have to re-do everything on my device. Is it possible to just flash the deodexed stock rom over my current root stock rom? I don't think I've ever had to do this on any of my Androids and I have never asked. Any help or answers are definitely appreciated. :good::good::good:
Shouldn't be a problem as current system would be wiped beforehand. Data however wouldn't be touched. I would wipe cache&dalvik-cache before the flash just to be cautious.

I prefer to wipe before and after flashes especially with twrp since it sticks the option right there for u. Somethings I only wipe after flashing tho like system mods and kernels. Going from ljc to ljc deodexed id flash the rom wipe caches and if u were using a custom kernel with stock flash it then wipe caches then fix permissions and reboot. If no kernel skip that step and continue on
So in summary:
1. Flash deodexed ljc
2. Wipe cache and dalvik
*3. Flash kernel
*4. Wipe cache and dalvik
5. Fix permissions
6. Reboot
7. Profit!!

You should be able to flash the full 4.1.2 stock odexed or deodex ROM over your 4.1.1 without issue. However, depending on how many hacks you've got in place (frozen apps via Titanium, etc?) it may bark and cause some problem. But generally speaking. If you have all apps unfrozen by third party apps (disabled in App manager is okay), you should be able to do a "dirty" flash of the new full 4.1.2 stock rom without losing a thing.
This is the typical method for a "dirty flash" with a custom recovery such as CWM.
1. Download files (ROM and Baseband FW) and put them on you external or internal sdcard.
2. Reboot into your custom recovery
2. Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache
3. Flash Firmware
4. Flash ROM
5. Reboot
I am on CM11 4.4.2 and want to return to 4.2.2 stock rom
how can I do it ?
THANK U
Go to recovery
Wipe data
Wipe system
Wipe dalvik
Power off phone
Now flash stock rom via odin
Now I am on custom rom, what to do to flash stock rom? just flash zip file in TWRP? or should I flash stock TWRP or what?
You got some options:
But first a heads-up: you will lose all your data.
Zip-flash method:
Copy the stock rom flashable zip to your micro sd. Make sure you got the flashable zip! To be flashed in twrp.!
Boot to twrp.
Factory reset
Then wipe system partition
Now flash the zip.
Wipe dalvik and cache.
Reboot
Enjoy
Fastboot method: (will surely wipe everything)
Search for team one rescue firmware on our XDA.
Download the firmware package.
Boot your phone into bootloader.
Connect your phone to your PC.
Make sure you got your backup to your PC. Or micro SD.
Extract the firmware package and start
Flash-all stock recovery.bat
Or a name similar.
Wait until the phone reboots in its own, and DO NOT , disconnect the phone while in process of flashing.
Once the the Google setup is visible, you can safely disconnect your phone.
You should be back on marshmallow stock rom.
Do some ota updates. Enjoy,

Now I have custom TWRP and a custom rom, I will choose Zip-flash method.
Can I flash stock rom with this custom TWRP? I mean can I flash stock rom like custom ones via twrp?
Can I flash custom rom later after installing stock rom?

For starters, twrp is a custom recovery, so you don't have to put the word "custom" before twrp everytime you mention it. X)
There are flashable zips that contain the stock rom. So, in a sense, yes, but you can't do any ota updates.
Download any needed file before beginning to flash a new rom:
Custom Rom, Gapps and if you want root: Magisk or SuperSu. Put those files on your micro SD in your phone.
Create a backup in twrp. You Just have to slide from left to right, no need to select anything more than what is already selected from the start.
Before installing a custom rom, you have to always wipe system, data, dalvik and cache partition in twrp recovery.
Only then you can flash the stock rom, which can be downloaded in one of the threads here in our XDA Lenovo p2 forum.
Little need to know: before flashing any rom, do a factory reset in twrp and wipe system partition.
Be aware that by deleting the four partitions you will lose your app data, sms,call log and so on.
Internal storage however isn't affected, so your music und Pictures won't be deleted.

Thanks for your detailed answer I am now on custom rom, i will download stock rom from the sticky thread, although all links are dead but I will try to find a working link
BTW, what is the latest stock rom?
I think S251 ...i'm not sure though. It shiuld be the one with the highest number=latest version ?
I still think that custom roms are better than stock though but do what you think is right.
