Upgrade from KK to LP (Stock ROMs only) - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have following setting:
JB Bootloader
KK Kernel (lokied)
TWRP Recovery (lokied)
KK Stock ROM (rooted)
I would like to upgrade to stock LP. But I'm not sure about which bootloader to pickup and which kernel.
Should I follow these steps?
Flash LP Bootloader (or KK Bootloader? )
Flash LP Stock Kernel (or bumped LP stock kernel ? )
Flash TWRP Recovery (bumped)
Flash LP Stock ROM
I'm not sure if LP Stock Kernel need to be bumped as well and if need to use KK Bootloader. Anybody knows?
Please do no reply with "simply flash this ROM ZIP from this thread", thank you.
I would like to know only answer to above questions then I can proceed by self with my own zip files.

Answer
Well, quite embarrassing.
I found my answer after posting this question. If anybody want to know, it is written here:

[Q] Confused with different Bobcat Roms?

Hi guys
I just have a few questions, sorry for being a total noob.
I have the following build JSS15J.N9500XXUBMJ1
I have already rooted by phone with Odin and backe up my stuff.
I want to flash the Bobcat Rom, but unsure which one to use since there is 2 and i am unsure which one to use
[SM-N9005][NOTE3][KitKat 4.4.2][XXUENB4]_BoBCaTROM_EVO_v6.0
[SM-N9005][NOTE3][XXUDMK2]_BoBCaTROM_EVO_v3.0
which is the right one or will either one work, but has different features.
Flash Stock firmware with Odin
==> INSTRUCTIONS TO FLASH 4.2.2 OFFICIAL FIRMWARE <==
4. Flash CWM Recovery kitkat compatible (Thx @Chenglu ==> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2454079)
will the bootloader be upgraded to 4.4?
is it possible to leave the bootloader update?
if so, can i still install the bobcat rom on the stock bootloader?
5. Boot to recovery, and Install BoBCaTROM with Full Wipe
Is it necessary to full wipe the note 3 when installing the bobcat rom?
Thnaks guys and i hope you guys can answer my silly question

MJ1 means 4.3. Flash v3.0. V4 and above are for 4.4.2 bootloader only.
Clean install is advised to avoid any issue later.

Root your device and install a custom recovery... IMPORTANT! flash procedure tested only with latest CWM made by Chenglu.

One last question.
Is Xposed framework and active modules build into the bobcat rom?
Also the same with Wanamaker Xposed?
I also notice that I can flash my own theme in recovery with stock or universal if I am correct.
Does the battery icon have to be done separately.
- Install Xposed framework and active modules (BoBCaTROM Control)
- Choose your Advanced settings by Wanam Xposed

Xposed framework provided but can't remember what modules included. You can however download modules from the framework itself.
You can choose whether to install stock samsung theme or bobcat theme.
Og battery mode included with >70 styles

Hi!
First, to root and install custom recovery, use Autorec (LINK) : thread also has a link for ioroot25, which let you root your phone (ONLY ON KITKAT). When you have used autorec, be sure to flash latest version of TWRP (link in my signature).
If you want to go back to Kitkat, yes you can;
-By .kdz method (LINK);
-Or by flashing a .kdz file converts to .zip file (LINK : this one will let you keep custom recovery + root).
The thing you have to be advise is that when you switch between ROMS, you sometimes have to flash Baseband / bootloader / bootstack stuff like this. But this is every times describs in ROM's thread.
For stable stock ROM? I recommand you Cloudy 2.2 (kitkat ROM, see my signature for link) which is a port of the G3, add Dorimanx Kernel (see my signature) and you'll have a beast.
Also, all depends of your G2's model, there is planty of ROM for each model... I'll let you search !

Root your device (I let you search for root on Lollipop);
Use Autorec to downgrade your Bootloader;
FLASH LATEST VERSION OF TWRP;
Flash Kitkat baseband provides in CloudyG2 2.2 and then the ROM.
For now, CloudyG2 3.0 isn't officially supported on D802 by @Cloudyfa, but (very) soon he'll release CloudyG2 2.3 which is G4's port, so, wait for it.

[Q]How to go back to KK from LP 5.0.2

Hi, im know this is a noob question. I searched forum and many pl have booting issues or even bricked one.
Please clarify
EDIT: Maybe MODERATOR could do some sticky thread about this and jumping beetween roms? It would be helpfull, thanks.
Phone: 802
ROM: now Stock based 5.0.2 SRKG 2 3-0.0, day before official CM 12.1 build x.1021
TWRP 2.8.6.1
I want to go back to install 4.4.x, MIUI or Cloudy 2.2. I downloaded D802 PATCH DROIDTH RETURN 4.4 as sugested by many of you - so i need only to go to TWRP, flash this, reboot to recovery, flash 4.4.x Cloudy and that's it? How to recognize on whitch bootloader I sit on?
Please help me, i don't recognize difference beetween KK and LP bootloader's, bootstacks etc.

How do I update my bootloader from kk to lp version?

I want to install on my device the LineageOS, but for this I need to update my bootloader to the LP version. How I do this?
Just flash Latest lolipop based custom ROM.Search it in miui forum.Or flash lolypop firmware.U maybe find it guide section.
Just a advice .....before making a new thread about something just search a little bit if this has discussed before or not.
I think I made a mistake in my post.
It is .....Just flash latest MIUI (LP) ROM found on MIUI forum....
Edit:---
In the first line I typed custom by mistake.....
1)flash any latest MIUI LP ROM found on MIUI forum or xiamoi.eu
2)flash lollypop firmware if u found it some where.
3)flash thunder MIUI @gkalen latest version
U will get LP bootloader.....Go as u wish
U need to flash miui 6.29.9 ROM of Redmi 2 prime via fastboot to get LP boot loader
Just flash the firmware uploaded in lineage os rom forum
Flash miui Redmi 2 prime ROM
Flashing any custom roms before flashing prime's rom won't get u lollipop firmware

how to downgrade from custom nougat rom to kitkat?

Hello guys I'm on android 7.1.2 based custom ROM. Can I download and flash stock KitKat ROM directly?????

Yes you can but only with the correct custom recovery. Keep trying with older version twrp v2.8.6_no_image or cwm recovery, if you are somehow not able to do it
I think first you should install lollipop and then kk
