S251 update is important for future custom rom install ?

[The WiTcH Er]

I'm staying in S244, Updating to S251 update is seriously required for upcoming custom Roms install ?

If s251 update required,
it requires to install my stock boot and stock recovery (almost stock rom)

no it doesn't. at least not for LOS.
im still on S244 but I'm beta testing LineageOS 14.1 which is already based on blobs from S251.

I'm on s251 and full stock, the 14 days are finished for the bootloader.
So can i root my P2 safely or I must go back to s244 ?

no you can stay on s251 of course and still be able to unlock and root your phone.

im on s251 too now and fully reset my phone to test los beta from scratch.

P2 with TWRP and root with magisk, it's all good !!

No plan for updating to s251. Cuz I'm using custom rom and s251 is not a major update, it contains only November security patch + android pay.
