    Note to self: do NOT wipe data first .... ... but hey, you fixed it! It didn't work renaming but when I typed in the full ROM name it did. I now have a decent ROM - and mnikolce, you are much appreciated. Thank you.

    many tuition notes say VOL DOWN so WELL DONE, that is the bit that changed it all! It took a few tries to get that bit correct mind you, and a few rewrites of the twrp image as the STOCK replaces the TWRP load with stock boot as you pointed out - if you don't get it right first time. - well...
