Upgrade to ArrowOS 9.x from PACROM 6.0.1 question. - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

Hi, at first sorry for my bad english.
I have ZUK Z2 since 2 years, the last owner had installed PACROM 6.0.1 with 3.18.20 kernel from fedor917 and TWRP 3.1.1.0.
Today I want to install ArrowOS 9.x, but i don't know what to do. Should I flash ZUI 3.5 first and then install ArrowOS? or Can I wipe all and install arrow without flash zui 3.5?
Regards

Thanks for quick reply, i have one question. There are 2 different methods of install zui 3.5:
1. using TWRP
2. using QFIL (according the guide, clean 2.5.104 must be installed earlier) LINK
Will it be work if I install ZUI 3.5 through TWRP ?

No twrp one does not update firmware
No need for 2.5 just flash 3.5 via QFIL

Okay, I will try tomorrow, but why tutorial order to install 2.5 first? After flash ZUI should I unlock bootloader first and then flash arrow right?

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.

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

If you flash full Nougat OOS ROM no need to flash firmware

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.

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).

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 ..

Which twrp version are you using?
You shouldn't need to be flashing DM verity zips or anything
Literally just download and fastboot flash the very latest official twrp for sagit and use that...

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.
