[Q] Best way to upgrade to Oreo

[rpgdev]

My build number is WAS-LX3C605B186 EMUI 5.1. I want to update to Oreo and firmware finder has a PV update available among others but now I'm reading that firmware finder stopped working is this true? If so what is the most accepted method for upgrading? I'm still not getting the update through the official channels and I'd like to speed things up.

Oh is that how it is? Yeah, I do have that minor update available to B188 I think. Will I have to reroot after applying it? I just want to know in order to plan ahead.

Yes it is?
U need stock recovery partition(not twrp) so after minor update may not lose ur root but i lost my root after full update to emui 8 and bootloader locked again.

What if I want supersu? Is there a binary somewhere? Can I use the same I used for nougat or can that brick my device?
