What is the correct way to go from CUSTOM back to STOCK?

I'm using custom roms now and want to test the new indian rom. Which is the correct way to install indian stock again with OTA enabled without bricking the phone since I don't have a deep cable and don't know how to make one?
-flash chinese 1.9.044 using QFIL
-flash some indian stock using QFIL
or
-flash chinese 1.9.044 using QFIL
-lock bootloader
-flash some indian stock using QFIL
or even
-lock the bootloader
-flash chinese 1.9.044 using QFIL
-flash some indian stock using QFIL

I would also like to know the answer to this question! I tried asking multiple times on the ZUKFans.eu forum, but didn't receive a response. It's all very confusing and i'm not sure either on which is the correct method to use.

I also want to know...

Hello
I'm on the Indian ROM ZUI 2.0.093
I just got the handset with this ROM installed.
When I check for updates this is what I get.
Screenshot attached
Please tell me if flashing this CN ROM will get me OTA and warranty services.
Z2131_CN_OPEN_USER_Q01002.1_M_ZUI_1.9.044_ST_160523_qpst.rar
Qn: after I flash the this CN ROM,
1.How will I get Google services.
2. Should I continue to use this CN Rom and do OTA with VPN enabled or
Flash any specific Indian ROM in any specific method to get the services.
I think the seller has unlocked the bootloader.
But there is no custom recovery installed and there is no SuperSU and not sure if the bootloader is locked or unlocked.
(I'll check on this and will update the scenario)
Please help
Also please provide links to flashing guide (CN Rom)
NB:Sorry I'm a newbie and forgive my less knowledge that I understand very less of the older replies to this thread.
Thanks in advance.

Use FlyVPN and set location as china then check for update. You will get 2 updates one after another and finally to naugat 7.0.

Assuming you flashed Chinese stock 1.9.044 already,
- Flash Stock ZUI_2.0.093 using QFIL
- Install FlyVPN and connect to any China server eg. Shanghai
- Open updater app and check for updates.
- Update to 2.0.133
- Connect to FlyVPN Chinese server again and check for updates.
- Update to 2.5.104

Update from Zui 2.0.133ST to Zui 2.5.104ST

I recently updated my ZUK Z2 Plus from Zui 2.0.133ST to Zui 2.5.104ST.My question is the zui 2.5.104 is a beta or final?Is there any way to downgrade to Zui 2.0.133ST?

I'm not sure that it is beta or not.
But if you need to downgrade, I hope flashing the 2.0.093 version via QPST will help.
I was on the 2.0.093 version with root.
My bootloader status showed as re locked.
I flashed the CN stock ROM which made the bootloader status locked and then flashed the indian ROM.
I've got update via OTA to Nougat 2.5.104ST.
Should I do the upgrade bro what's the review

The new features of Zui 2.5.104ST are:
1.The new overclock mode in Developer mode
2.Split Screen,Screen Recorder which are included in Lab features
3.Manual Mode like ISO,White balance etc., and many more.
Though it has some new features,the accounts&sync tab is not working properly.

Root for ZUi 2.5.104St official indian nougat 7.0

hello guys I was wondering if Is there any root method for our zuk z2 with the latest oficial zui version on indian variant?
I guess that lenovo will not send some update for a while, they sent that 2.5.104st in april-29, and we still not receive anything that they promisse for the may-19. (I think that they finished the tests before and Took advantage to spread the stable version before...)
I am no telling about the beta version of nougat in the indian version, i'm speaking about the stable version sent via OTA
sorry for my bad english, if you can't understand something, tell me that I'll try to explain again.

What's the problem? Unlock bootloader and flash SuperSU.

Has Lenovo stopped giving zui 2.5.104 OTA?

I am quite new to custom ROM stuff, so after playing with custom ROM for a while I used QFIL method to flash zui 1.9.044 st and then flashed zui 2.0.93 ST indian version on my z2 plus indian variant and everything went smoothly but even after using China VPN I am only able to update to zui 2.0.133 but no new update shows after that, I took it to Lenovo service centre and they said that Lenovo has halted 2.5.104 OTA due to various bug complaints, I also verified that my bootloader is locked and not relocked, can anyone confirm that?
Edit- I was on zui 2.5.104 before unlocking the bootloader and stuff

how to get oreo zui for indian z2plus

I came across chinese official oreo zui 3.xx, i want to know if there is a simple way to install it to my z2 plus Indian variant through recovery mode without installing a twrp recovery?
Also is it worth it to get oreo zui?

Oreo is much better rom than nougat. Yeh you can install it without unlocking bootloader and without installing twrp recovery. Good thing is you will still get your warranty as i have availed Warranty with china rom in it

official chinese zui do not come with gapps you will have to install them later, gapps packages from opengapps don't work, you have to use google installer but they cause notification problems ..... all this problems not worth it, as you can install custom zui that have gapps but they will need twrp.
Hope this helps...

Read this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/how-to/rom-zui-3-5-243st-z2-plus-z2-t3745636 about the official ZUI 3.5.xxx
You need access to PC + data cable to flash Chinese ZUI. Read that thread, pretty detailed information available on how to.
I did get myself the Oreo via that thread but Chinese ZUI isn't workable due to GApps issue. GApps are there in that ROM, but not the playstore. You have to install Playstore apk.
Not only that, usual ZUI issues are still there plus known issue like Contact sync etc. Lot of work to get it running.
I felt frustrated trying to fix things, then decided to drop the plan and went to other custom rom or simply switch back to stock ZUI 2.5.104 ST (Indian version).

Can i install the chinese zui without flashing or not?9

If you're ready to install a custom ROM you could try jaguar ROM .. that's the same one I'm using ... Really smooth .. I'm on that ROM now for almost 4-5 months and I've had no problem whatsoever .. and I get regular updates too .. only thing is I need to download the update that is from XDA forum itself and dirty flash it from twrp that's it
Hers the Iink to the ROM .. you can check it out ..
