You know how to install twrp in rooting process ryt?
Download OTA update manually through their site.
Flash it through twrp then wipe cache/dalvik only.
Oh and twrp/rooting will be gone after updating so you have to install them again.

Would you suggest me flashing lineage rom , do you think is better than miui stock regarding battery and performances ?

Hi Bro have you flashed the rom again pls check
If yes then flash your stock rom via SP tool and root your device again and then flash this rom again and then check it

Hi,
I have used this rom for almost a day now. There are no bugs whatsoever. It is really stable. Didn't notice any battery drains either. best suitable for a daily driver.
About, the bootloop issue, try to reflash the rom again according to the instructions in the Rom Thread.
Wipe data, Wipe cache, Wipe dalvik, Format System and flash rom. Don't flash any patches provided in the thread. Since the rom is pre-rooted, i dont think you need to flash the stock rom using SP flash tools and then flash this rom.
P.S.: I used TWRP recovery to flash this. Not CWM. Try flashing the ROM using TWRP.
Cheers!

Check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/backup-lollipop-5-1-soak-test-t3144162
It's really simple, and as you already have TWRP, you don't need anything extra. But still, make a backup of your current rom.

[Q]Reset all

Hi everybody,
My phone becomes slow and I would like to reset it completely. I would like to know how to reset it to 16/16 go (less the rom of course).
I take this opportunity to ask you what is the best ROM at the moment for the xperia z2 and the best kernel, I also think root the phone if it can help you choose the rom / kernel.
EliteKernel /w eXistenZ MM.
The best combination atm...
Existenz Rom for sure
DK about the kernel.
Thank you for the answers, but do you know how to reset totally the phone before install the new rom ?

First boot takes upto 5-10mins. Did you waited that long? You on official bootloader unlock? Cause if you flash stock miui rom with twrp it relocks the bootloader and you'll be stuck with bootloop.

This can have several reasons:
1.You are probably using official TWRP. Flash Miui rom with red wolf recovery project (RWRP) you can find it in the developing section
2. You've unlocked your bootloader unofficially, and that's a bad thing. To go back to stock rom on unofficially unlocked bootloader you better flash MIUI fastboot rom
3. Kenzo's stock rom is marshmallow and takes a loooong time to boot. Make sure to wait atleast 15-20mins
