Nrml flashing couldn't make any problem that to be said from nougat to oreo since for now they have same baseband ver. but for you definitely flash stock rom first(nougat) via adb or twrp both work fine. There is difference between baseband in mm and nouhat and will create problem to you in future

As the post above states ensure you flash the stock nougat ROM before flashing nougat custom ROM. Flash stock nougat, reflash twrp, wipe system, data, cache, ART cache and then flash custom ROM.

Thank you, helps a lot!
As others have said, I would like to say you should update to N. As otherwise you might face a few issues namely baseband and fingerprint. The problem is a big MIGHT but I would recommend updating first

Yes you can downgrade. But make sure to flash Old modem otherwise security will crash. Just clean flash (wipe everything except internal storage)
Hi there,
I'm using 4.4.2 wanamlite 2.9 rom on a i9505 with twrp 2.8.
Recently I encountered lot of problems like modem not working properly, rebooting, videos playing in slowmo, no sound etc... weird stuff...
I'm convinced to upgrade to (lets say) marshmallow (any custom rom) but I dunno how to do it properly. So here my questions:
- should I flash the stock rom and start again with root / custom rom etc? Or...
- should I upgrade with odin to stock modem and bootloader first, and after that install a custom rom via twrp? Which way is the correct one?
Btw. Should I upgrade to lolli, marsh or 7.x? Dunno whats better. I'm using touchwiz with xposed framework. I dont need tw but i find xposed very helpful. Any advice or link to guides?
Thanx
Upgrade the individual components. In your case, that means recovery, bootloader, and modem via Odin. Your copy of TWRP is ancient and the newer versions of Android need a newer version of TWRP to properly flash them. Once you've upgraded the components, download any Android 6.x ROM for your device - since you want Xposed - and flash it via TWRP. Android 7.x ROMs are available for your device, but Xposed does not work on them, and I don't expect it to work any time soon.

Thanx Stephron.
Yesterday I updated via .img the recovery (TWRP 3.2).
Now I'll look for bootloader and modem. Should I use the stock ones or are on xda some threads with better modems and bootloaders?
I think I'm going for resurrection remix or for some aosp. Any experience?
Best and happy new year .

Really appreciate your help folks. I didnt follow xda for a while and I felt obsolete somehow heheheh
I'm done flashing roms. Lotta awesomeness but lotta bugs too. Currently im on ASOP Extended ROM 7.1.1 with TWRP (Hybrid) 3.0.2 and I want to go back. Way back, to lollipop or something. Where everything is stable and it works. Somewhere oxygen OS.
1)So would the method be a twrp flash of official firmware ?
2) I want to retain superuser priviledge and TWRP Hybrid. How do I do that after flashing official stuff since the firmware resets everything to original ?
3) I'm just looking for battery life. Would you suggest reverting to oxygen os lollipop or marshmallow ? ( NO I DON'T NEED VOLTE PLEASE SPARE ME. I JUST NEED 2 SIMS TO WORK.) (got a better rom ? suggest !)
Thanks IN ADVANCE XDA ! You've been great !

I have already replied same thing on older thread, [ https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/quick-questions-kernel-installations-t3794980 ]
if you flash ROM, it will also install kernel which is considered stock for that installed ROM. You need to flash kernel only if you have modified it (by flashing custom kernel or SU zips).
If you want to flash different ROM, you can flash without doing anything else, just wipe and flash.
PS invictaOS is discontinued long ago, invictaOS-Nougat is stable, Oreo will be more bugfull than current available ROMs..

Though these forums are for the Moto G4 Plus, that does suggest an issue with the build of Lineage OS that you're using. Can you confirm with the developer that this build is successfully running on their device? Do you have a compatible Lineage 17 OS based kernel you could try to flash?
Was your device working with other stock or custom ROMs before flashing Lineage 17?

Nope, you're good to go. Just flash RR-O like you would any nougat rom, and you'll be fine.
