HELP regarding Upgrade to MM STOCK ROM OR CM 13.0 !!!

Hi guys, its been a few days since I joined here. [Read : I am a noob/newbie in Android related things, and I desperately need help.]
In July (maybe, I forgot), I rooted my ZE550KL, using exactly this method from the website of www-asus-zenfone-com. :cyclops:
Now that, my android seems aged, I wanna shift/upgrade to Marshmallow/Nougat, be it Stock or Custom ROM.
Few days earlier, I unlocked my Bootloader using the Unofficial Bootloader Unlocking Method, as found on this Forum.
I also installed TWRP Recovery, and I tried to flash CM-14.1 [7.1] Nougat-Nightly through TWRP, but, unfortunately, resulted in Status 7 Error. I tried to solve the problem by removing "asserts" section in Update-Binary text file, in the build. But, again, I seemingly worsened the problem; as I got Status 6 error thereby. So, I did factory reset, and I still retain root.
Now, today as I am going through the Official thread of CM 14.1 Nougat, I saw numerous users reporting Bugs of connection issues (something like Wifi to Mobile Data switch problem), which I would like to OBVIOUSLY AVOID, as I want a stable, bug-less build. So, I am thinking to go with the last snapshot build of CM 13.0 Marshmallow.
Here comes the my question : " SHOULD I FLASH CM 13.0 MM -- OR -- STOCK ROM OF MM -- OR -- RESURRECTION REMIX MM ROM?? "
In any of the case, please guide me through the process of doing so.
And, if I have to flash CM 13.0 MM, what would I do if I encounter Status Error 7 again ? :crying:

first you have to upgrade it to marshmallow using stock rom. Then you can flash cm13 or cm14.1

While flashing CM13 if that error 7 includes "asus.verify trustzone failed..." Then its bcoz of need to update modem files (LP to MM)....
Easy way to overcome it is..... download MM modem ZIP from second post of OFFICIAL CM13 thread (120MB) and flash it using TWRP (If you are using twrp).... THEN you can flash cm13 hopefully without error 7....
If you are using stock recovery then Either u can flash twrp and use above method... OR... Download ASUS ZE550KL firmware zip file from ASUS site (1.6GB) .... Put it in SDCARD... Then boot to stock recovery and use "apply update from sdcard" option... select ZIP... Alongwith firmware Ur Modem files will also update to MM... and now u can flash twrp and then cm13...
sorry.. I know if i am lazy to post direct links...
Try it.. I will help if i can

We have both stable RR and CM13.
CM is simple and clean and less loaded.... RR is most feature rich Custom rom we have alongwith stability...
Rest depends on what type of user, u are... If u like trying differnt ROMs... Start with CM13...
If u just want to have a feature rich longtime setup, U can use RR directly without wasting time... It is based on CM, So it obviously have everything CM has.... :good:

Stock Rom Download Zuk Edge!?

Hi folks,
is there any link do get an stock rom downloaded? Like it seems, there are not so much Zuk Edge in the marked so far. I am very happy with mine. Phantastic display. Starting with it, is a little bit strange, but after a few days he big format is very usefull. Fingerprint sensor is very high qualityy and fast. Great device. Hopefully there will be a lot guys who will present great roms.
Stock Rom link? I need one.

Remember this is a meta build rom, not a flat build
Just use zuk edge rom and not zuk z2 rom.
ZUI 2.3.079 ST based on Android 6.0.1
https://mega.nz/#!IAdTzCIL!gm1awzQdJQ6zOjVBm8N2E3wJJHwM2po25ZDXWSN788o

There is an update for Zuk Edge, version 2.5.406 ST.. Hope it fix some bug and make camera better

The ZUI 2.5 is on open beta now on bcc.lenovo. But the site is in China Traditional very very difficult to translate with Google also. What i can understand is that they are picking up all the bugs the community founds on the beta release and yesterday Lenovo confirmed that the official Update to Nougat is ready to download via OTA. Let's see what happens

You could try googling how to set up the QFIL flashing tool. Then try flashing the stock firmware from here:

What im trying to tell is that my problem is not only installation in custom roms but i also cant install any other roms eiether from official site or some other site which means i cant install any roms accept the one the stock rom i mentioned above. And also i already tried to install MM firmware but it gives out error code 7 in twrp. I tried as i was said to install the previous version of lollipop before the update of MM came out but still i cant install them.

Which Android u r using now
Lolipop or MM

is your bootloader locked on unlocked?
just go back to stock versions for now
if u r on lollipop, download the 'next version' from asus
if u r on marshmallow, download the next version from asus
use fastboot (bootloader) mode to flash if required
when all is stable and done,
download & flash twrp
flash lineage 13, then lineage 14

Thnsk guys for all your replies
My problem i was not using latest twrp recovery
Again thank you so much for ur help

not able to flash twrp

Hi guys I have rooted my YU yureka cm 11. Its been 2 days I am trying to flash twrp on my device using both twrp official app and twrp manager. I have tried 3.1,3.0,3.02 versions while flashing. After flashing it says successfull but when I tried to reboot into recovery the mobile stucks on YU logo I think gets bricked this is what happening every time

CM11?
Any reason to sticking with CM11?
It is a 32 bit ROM and TWRP you're trying to flash is 64 bit. It won't get flashed ever.
Better install COS12.1 or any other custom ROMs.

There is no any specific reason for sticking with cm11 I thought it is most stable.
So is there any way I can flash twrp?
Or do I have to upgrade to cm 12.1 and then try to flash?
Can you recommend me any rom with better stability for yureka?

First try to upgrade to COS12.1 and than flash TWRP.
There are lots of N custom ROMs available and is stable. You can find more about them here or at YU Forum.

Flash Cos12.1 via fastboot, as it will change ur architecture from 32bit to 64bit...
Then check bootloader status, and if locked, unlock it as well, flash TWRP and enjoy custom ROMs,
Nougat ROMs are much stable now
For any problem, feel free to ask,
Thank YOU

thanks
Thank you very much guys , your help is very very appreciated.

You can't you must do it from a computer using odin. Follow the steps on this page https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...5-1-1-bootloader-modem-j500xx-t3566801/page14

If your using los15.1 then you already have mm bootloader and modem as it doesn't work with lp.
There are only 2 bootloaders for j5 2015 lp and mm. Even if the ROM is nougat or Oreo you will still have either lp or mm bootloader.
If you want to change bootloader the only way is from my last post.
You can only change it using Odin on the computer.
But right now you definitely have mm bootloader installed
