Are there any flashable zips for N5X? If not, how do I make them from system images?
When I get flashable zips, can I just install them as secondary ROM, flash other kernel and multiboot them with other ROMs?
Currently I have a Nexus 5X with MultiROM installed. Decrypted.

Before flashing the rom zip, you must flash corresponding bootloader, radio and Vendor image.

I updated to 4.0.4 last weekend with the leak. I now want to flash GummyNex to my Nexus. Must I flash back to 4.0.2 before I load GummyNex or any other custom ROM? Or can I just flash the custom ROM on top of the 4.0.4 update?
No just wipe data, dalvik, cache and flash the ROM you want to flash with gapps (if required) and kernel (if you desire to)
Thanks! I appreciate it. I've never flashed a custom ROM...just the unofficial OTA's. The kernel is a totally separate file correct?

Yes, you can flash kernel after flashing the custom rom, but keep in mind that some kernels only work for a specified build.

Yes kernel is a separate file. Some ROMs will include a kernel with their ROM (mostly stock kernel but it could be different).
So if you flash a ROM (or a update), flash the kernel update again because flashing the ROM zip will override your kernel.
Press the thanks button if I helped, thanks
Just a quick Q, Had my One X for a few days and have rooted and flashed recovery to my phone. As we have to flash kernels 'boot.img' seperately from the actual rom zip, does that mean if you flashed only the rom zip you would still be on the stock kernel and it would boot? Or if you prefered one particular kernel you would just flash the devs ROM zip?
Thanks
Custom ROMs usually (always?) come with a Kernel, so if you want to run a specific kernel that's not part of that particular ROM, then you have to flash it separately AFTER you flash the ROM package. That will overwrite the included kernel.
Make sense?

Hi guys,
I'm currently unlocked Nexus 7 2013 with CleanROM 5.0.2, TWRP and rooted, Bootloader is 4.04. Is it possible for me to flash a Stock ROM https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images via TWRP?
The problem was it was a .tgz file. TWRP cannot read .tgz. Can I just unzip the .tgz and flash the .zip inside and then flash the bootloader (.img)? or it's better for me to go to old school and flash via ADBfastboot? I've search around but not particular thread stated they have flash Nexus 7 2013 Stock ROM via TWRP. Is it possible to convert Stock ROM into flashable .zip ?
Kindly advice.
Found an answer from another user-friendly forum for I just need a yes and no answer plus an alternative suggestion. TWRP cannot flash Stock ROM. But can be done via Wugfresh Toolkit. Mod can change this thread to [Solved]
I want to learn how to do this creating flashable roms even customs. Mtk devices or other
I've managed to install TWRP on my phone.
I'm currently on nougat with s-on.
I want to root so I can flash custom rom but can't find instructions on how to do that. Could someone provide simple instructions on how to do that please. Also do I need s-off to flash custom Rom, if so how do I do that?
Thanks for reading

There is a N00b Help thread that is stickied for exactly questions like these.
You don't need root to install a custom rom. Most custom roms already come rooted. Instructions for flashing them are in each custom rom thread. Basically you do a backup of your stock rom in twrp (select system image and boot), and then flash your custom rom zip file in twrp.
