Try aex 4.4 or 4.6.. otherwise arrow oero last release is the most compatible ROM ever released for z2.. combine it with prototype 3.18 latest on 4.xx zui baseband even JiO 2 JiO video calling works

What I've known is that if you install either an Oreo or nougat ROM over a marshmallow baseband, it gets bricked.... But if you have a baseband from Oreo(for example) and you install either marshmallow or nougat, it is OK, no problem with it. However, I don't know which baseband version belongs to which android version.
If I'm mistaken, please someone corrects me...
I personally had 1.5 version and was capable to install AEX 8.1. However, I didn't know if there was any problem with 4G or 3G because I don't use data.
So, the first thing you gotta do is knowing which baseband you have... If you have 1.70 or 1.76 it is OK for all ROM you'd like to install.
1.70 version is from Chinese z2 version and 1.76 from Indian version... I've also heard that on 1.70 VolTE (which I have non idea what it is, but loooots of people ask for it) doesn't work and it does work on 1.76. However yesterday I saw a comment which said that with 1.70 baseband version that user is able to have VolTE working fine.
If you don't want to have any problem with basebands, what you have to do is upgrade it... Some methods erase all your data and some others block your bootloader. So what I did was install H2OS (2018 version) to avoid losing all my data and blocking my bootkoader.
Here is the link of the ROM
https://drive.google.com/file/...x3DWTrjJct7y7hF02fcnithK6/view
P.S: I downloaded it through my cellphone (specifically via "via browser") and at the time of installing it, it gave me an error. The error was about corruption or something like that, so I highly recommend you to download it from your PC cuz that way you'll have no problem
I invite you to taste that ROM (H2OS), it is absolutely amazing in term of performance; battery I don't remember it, but the ROM is awesome...

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 ..

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.

VoLTE Fix for Lineage 16 by harry8242

As stated this custom rom does not support VoLTE. Is there a work around to this bug ? I found a few solutions for nougat and oreo but none of them work on Lineage 16 (i guess because it's Pie).
Kindly help to get a work around for VoLTE on pie rom or specific to this rom (Lineage 16 by Harry 8242) for Vibe K5 Plus (a6020a46) 2 GB ram variant.

Methinks that working with the vibe K5 plus is difficult. While we can see phones with similar capabilities like redmi 4 getting fully working pie ROMs. Soon they will receive Q updates. The vibe K5 plus is still stuck at Oreo.

please help can anybody send me an manual to copy the files und make the config manually? also in the menu af lineage i have no switch for volte only for wifi
THX guys good work!!

i suggest you to try flashing the new roms and in case you get a blue screen , qfil latest firmware to update bootloader , i dont think theres another way to check the bootloader version .
And dont worry getting a blue screen wont brick the device or anything , if you get it just boot back to twrp and follow the procedure for updating the bootloader through qfil (there are plenty of instructions available ,read em carefully and you will be fine).
PS: you need an updated bootloader only for roms which ship with latest kernel 4.4 and not 3.18 .
so yeah you can try pie roms which have 3.18 kernel without hesitation.
Also keep in mind that if you do decide to update the bootloader and flash roms with latest kernel , you need to flash vendortofactory.zip and new factory twrp due to new implementation so DO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY IN THE THREAD OF WHATEVER ROM YOU FLASH !
Mine is 3.18 kernal I guess I have to update my bootloader using qfil if want to flash pixel experience 9 pie
Can you send me the link for required files to update bootloader thanks ?
