Flashing System Software?

I am currently on 2.19.40.22 . I am willing to use CM so I am doing the following :
1)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am downloading that from official ASUS website : (https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/)
2)
Then I will use that method ^ and flash it to my phone. : (Guide is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596 )
Will it mess up my phone or anything? I will then unlock bootloader but I am confused if I am flashing the correct ZIP in the correct method. Thanks!

Issue with SuperSU.zip

I'm confused right now. I've got a custom recovery, but flashing the SuperSU zip file leaves me with this...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I ordered a new SD card just for the root process. I'm at this step where I'm supposed to just flash the zip file according to countless threads on this. I should mention I'm on the BND-L24 variant.
I realized it was my mistake to root with SuperSU, as I am on the Oreo update. I ended up flashing Magisk and it worked like a charm.

Magisk & Crypto

Hi... I'm a little worried about the security of my device... anyway, my smartphone isn't encrypted, but it's rooted. From what I've seen, I have to unroot, encrypt and then root again, correct? In Magisk there are two options when selecting uninstall/remove root: restore image and complete uninstall. Which one should I choose?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you want to encrypt your data, clean flash stock fastboot ROM and reboot.
After initial setup, go to install Magisk.
