Which Firmware and Recovery to you install?

Reboot again to eRecovery and press Shotdown.
Press and hold Volume up and Power Button at same Time.
If you see the black background with the 2 lines orange font,release the buttons
Trying to install B332 as per your OP. Have tried TWRP in OP as well as TWRP 3.02 (Old one) and TWRP from P9 (same one had posted it earlier) but am not able boot to TWRP recovery even though flashing is successful.

Is there any way to check if TWRP flash is successful?

Ok,you install B332 this two zip files,right?
Flash Twrp after flashing this 2 zip files again?
After flash the Update.zip from B332 is Stockrecovery installed.
The thing is am not even able to boot to TWRP recovery to flash zip files. Either phone gets stuck at 'Phone is unsecure etc.." or boots to erecovery. TWRP recovery is the issue!

No chance to B350
Actually this is incorrect, I have found a way, but I am still testing to see if B350 actually will work, currently the version I installed kills the sim card and you cant make phone calls. but it was not the complete "full" version. I am in the process of installing the "full" version to see if this might fix the sim card issue, but I believe it will not. I will explain how to go about it if anyone wants to after I do a few more testing.

Stupid question :

What is the benefit of using this modified boot then flash SuperSU vs using an encryption aware TWRP and flash supersu ?
With a unsecure boot its more of a perm root opposed to a soft root using the SU.apk. I personally rather the soft root with a secure boot.

Except sim disfunction what is new there? Something obvious?

Sent from my SM-T815 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
As of right now looking at it, I dont see anything new. I will take a few screenshots, but I dont see anything new yet, I see the camera has changed a little bit swiping left to right shows the different camera options, and swiping right to left shows different settings. The rom itself doesnt look finished, but I am trying different ways to install B350, so far 2 ways its not usable.

Just an FYI, I am installing using android Firmware Finder by Team MT from play store
