Do I need to be on Android Marshmallow to install ROMs that are 6.0? - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
I got my GRA-L09 yesterday and already unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted it.
I want to try out this site's custom ROMs, buy I've read in some threads that my phone needs to be updated to 6.0 if I want to install 6.0 ROMs. Is this correct? If yes, where and how can I update my phone? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks in advance!

help - G900A a t & t GS5

hi
i purchased a unlocked at&t phone off ebay and it works fine but its on 4.4.2. i want to root and install new custom firmware based on the S6/7 rom - newest android basically that'll work.
What rooting guide should i use and whats the best rom to get it flashed to a UK based rom?
If you are on 4.4.2, do NOT take the OTA update. updating to the official AT&T Lollipop gets you an encrypted bootloader that is unlockable.
look for guides based on 4.4.2. you'll want to install a recovery, then you can flash custom roms.

Why can't I upgrade my H440AR to Marshmallow? + Another Question

Hello fellow XDA'ers, my question, is the title.
The second question is, will downloading the Marshmallow update via the browser and installing it make Pokémon GO say "Your phone is uncompatible" ?
Thanks in advance.
Did you follow my guide? You need to flash a h440n rom to make the program able to flash a h440n mm rom.
About pokemon go, I played it while on MM without any problem

Hi guys
searched the forums but cannot find the answer.
I have a 935f and its running the latest bootloader and modem from november. i just got this phone and have rooted and installed TWRP, when i am looking at custom roms like superman and renovate, it tells me to "update" my bootloader and modem to octobers version for superman or septembers version for renovate.
obviously i a running a later version than both of these, am i ok to flash the rom without doing anything or do i need to downgrade my bootloader then flash?
if i downgrade will i have to root and install TERP again plase?

you can download the ota from asus support site.

Upgrade to Nougat before or after root

I couldn't find a solid answer to this question anywhere. I have a stock axon 7 A2017UV1.0.0B29 build and wanted to root the phone, but also wanted to upgrade to Nougat b15. Would I have better luck rooting first on b29 and then upgrading or should I attempt to root after the upgrade is complete? I'm not really looking to install any custom Rom at the moment and would just like to have a rooted device. Many of the tutorials bundle root in with a custom ROM which is part of the reason why I'm having so much trouble searching for a solution.

Just find a guide and follow it until you have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. That's all you need to have root.
After that you just flash Magisk or supersu
