Hey guys!
I have upgraded to oreo a while ago, but battery doesnt seem to be as good as on nougat. I looked up a few posts but i am not sure which one to believe. Is there a good method on how to go back to nougat?

I don't see the difficulty, flash whole nougat oos, or for a custom ROM flash a Nougat firmware + custom ROM.

I thought i have to take care to select right twrp and have to do stuff, but i think ill just flash latest nougat firmware + full stock rom + twrp, and then my custom roms?

Latest TWRP, always
If you flash full Nougat OOS ROM no need to flash firmware

Latest twrp ? I thought the latest is for oreo only?

Where did you read ONLY? It's Oreo compatible. That's all. By definition a software is backward compatible except if expressly specified in changelog. Which is not the case here.
You've got all you need. Experiment now.

Revert back to 3.2.4 from 3.5.2 community build

Hello. I'm currently running on 3.5.2 community build.
I have stock recovery and wanted to go back to 3.2.4.
I had hoped this would be a simple affair but there a few posts which state that having tried to sideload the stock rom using stock recovery the process halts at 47℅?
I had assumed this would be a straight forward process to revert back to stock?
Can anyone advise the process please?
I'm running a one+ 3 and I'm totally unrooted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-touch-recovery-t3402999
use this recovery.
This won't work.
You've to flash completely stock from Naman thread
Then only u can flash any oos based rom or cm 13 rom.
Coz in latest beta built od oos firmware is changed.
So until you flash old firmware you won't be able to flash.

Updating to Oreo Firmware but not Rom...

Hi I am running a Nougat Rom that I am happy with for the moment but was wondering if it would be advisable to update to the new firmware anyway? Can you run a Nougat rom on the Oreo firmware and is there any benefit of doing so?
Thanks

No you can't run a nougat rom on a oreo firmware.
Oreo firmware is for Oreo ROM, and currently there is no downgrading again.If you are staying on Nougat, DO NOT upgrade the firmware.
what about using asop oreo rom ???

Just don't update if you don't need to. If you want to use OREO roms you update otherwise stay on nougat. Don't mess with the firmware if you don't need to.
if iam in oreo rom and then want install custom rom etc sundream rom basically nougat rom, must install nougat firmware too?

Issues will occur indeed, keep firmware and roms matched

Am I safe to proceed?

I'll be able to unlock my bootloader in less than 24h, and the first ROM I want to try is the Pixel Experience ROM (android P). I'm currently on MIUI 10 8.8.23 Global version. Can I just unlock the bootloader, flash RedWolf Recovery through adb, do a full wipe and flash Pixel ROM without worrying about ARB or anything?
Thanks!

Umm dude read my post again. I said I'm on MIUI 10 8.8.23 (which is the latest one), I don't want to flash MIUI, but I want to flash Pixel Experience ROM. How will that trigger ARB? I understand very well that if I want to go back to MIUI, I need to flash the latest version of MIUI available.

Just flash pixel ROM
For other custom ROMs do not flash any firmware file recommended by custom ROM developer, because those firmware files are 8.7.5 MIUI firmware. If you try to flash firmware files then you are going to brick your device

Not yet, still 2 hours to go.
I'm on the latest MIUI 10.0.0.1 stable Chinese.
I just want to flash the latest Global. Can I do this by just unlocking bootloader, flash RedWolf Recovery, then flash the latest Global recovery.zip file? Or do I need to worry about ARB?
If you want to go back, make sure you will flash these version or higher

Update for Who wants to go to the 4.4 kernel ROMs you need? I have the answer to see

Zui 2.5 confirmed that it is necessary to install roms with kernel 4.4, it does not need zui 3.5 (in my case I had already installed zui 2.5 indiana as my rom and I decided to go for custom roms and today I use them with kernel 4.4 without having to install 3.5 zui per qpst)
I haven't unlocked my device yet.. but I'm planning to flash custom rom. currently I'm using zui 2.5 the official one. So you are saying that I can just 1)unlock my device 2) flash twrp and flash the latest version of aex (pie) without flashing zui 3.5/3.7 via qpst??.. I know your post says it but did you face any problem???.. (I'm new to this)..

Friend I just left the aex pie to na bootleggers. Yes you just need to unblock the bootloader and install twrp as a recovery, after that you need to do the following: First install the factory, then watch the twrp treble (reinstall back to twrp) and install rom and gapps and what you want

How many errors etc ... none so far. You have to have zui 2.5 Indian to do what I did!
I left aex pie because there is a bug in the download to download anything has to be completely on the page for example I want to download a game and I can not leave it in the background and I can not let the screen erase because the download pauses
If you want to install only nougat based custom roms, zui 2.5 indian baseband is fine. But if you want to use oreo or pie roms, you need to flash at least zui 3.5. I've used oreo roms on zui 2.5 baseband and it gives you Little glitches here and there and offline charging doesn't work.

It's in the About phone section in Settings dude

Yeah I have same question. Right now I'm on Pie FW just because of Pixel Experience ROM. I want to try Havoc OS but it's using Oreo FW. Is it possible to flash Oreo FW safely? And which variant? Just asking because I have ARB no. 4 and I'm little bit scared of brick. So anyone? Thanks
