From stock to latest custom rom, how? - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was on CyanogenMod (I guess 13) and wanted to move to JDC rom. I did some flashing and then eventually my phone was fully stuck and booting over and over again. I followed the guide to unbrick it and this went successfully. What steps to follow now? I've found tons of guides which all use different versions of TWRP and OOS but I'm not sure what way I should go.... any help?

The problem was your bootloader. I'm writing this guide assuming that you're running a marshmallow OS.
1. Follow this guide to update your bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-update-bootloader-firmware-to-t3478917
2. Download and flash the latest TWRP recovery found here: https://dl.twrp.me/onyx/
3. Flash the JDC ROM normally as you would've before.

Thanks for your quick reply. Currently I am not on a custom recovery yet because I'm not sure on the first step. Can I just follow the guide from step 1 without custom recovery or do I need to flash something for that first? Currently I'm on Oxygen OS 2.1 and my bootloader is unlocked.
Also, do I flash the bootloader twice in a row (first from step 1 in the guide and then again in step 2) or should I flash the latest directly?
edit: Would installing OOS3 from a zip and then installing latest TWRP be easier for me maybe even though it will take longer?

You can't use the stock recovery to flash the bootloader zip.
Installing OxygenOS 3 would be much easier for you but would take time(the download of OOS). If you decide to do so then:
1. Update OOS to 3.x.x, you'll get the newer bootloader so you won't have to flash the bootloader zip.
2. Flash the latest TWRP Recovery.
3. Normally flash the JDC ROM as you would've before.
If you don't wanna download OOS3, then follow these steps:
1. Flash the latest TWRP Recovery.
2. Then flash the bootloader zip ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9KbfmnSD_ryeU9KRnlyYW1iZm8/view )
3. Normally flash the JDC ROM as you would've before.

It worked, thanks a lot for clearing this up!

Latest Cyanogenmod doesn't work.

Hi.
So the latest Cyanogenmod (honestly every update out of the CM update that came out on 9th Oct) builds do not work for my device. Whenever I try to boot up the device, the device just gets stuck on the bootup screen, that is the screen where you see the OnePlus logo and there's text in the lower part that says "Powered by Android", except that there is no "powered by Android" text seen.
What should I do in order to get things working?
Sorry to post this in the general thread, I am not yet high enough that I can post in the Android Development Thread.
The latest 2 builds are only compatible with the new Marshmallow Bootloader, AFAIK.
In order to get them working, I would recommend you to flash the full OOS 3.1.3 zip file.
There is the alternative to flash a zip file to get the latest booloader and radio firmware. I haven't tested it, that's why I'm not telling you to do so.

I currently am running the CM 13.0 2016-10-09 build which works like it should. So should I switch to OOS 3.1.3 and then flash the new CM build?

Yes. Just like that. But OOS 3.X.X has new Bootloader. So new TWRP should be flashed.
New TWRP : http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/development/unofficial-twrp-3-0-2-0-recovery-onyx-t3471584
And flash it as usual.

Wait dude! If you're on OOS 2.X.X based ROM and TWRP, then you should flash official OxygenOS Recovery and then flash the Marshmallow ROM. And now you can flash TWRP root or flash CM13 or xposed and whatever...

Yup. You need to first flash the OOS recovery and then you need to flash the OOS 3.1.3 and then again the TWRP and then you need to flash whichever ROM you want to... Been there, done that. Real pain...

Hi all,
I’m having the exact same problem. I’ve searched several forums, and have seen different solutions, but I’m unsure what solution to follow. The steps in this thread seem the most logical to me. But just to be clear, are this the steps I have to follow, in the correct order? I don’t want to make any mistakes. I’m currently on OOS 2.2.2 with TWRP 3.0.2.0.
(make backup, I’m wiping the whole thing)
Copy OPX_recovery and OOS 3.1.3 to phone
Flashboot flash OPX_recovery.img (Lollipop version, not MM)
Reboot (to bootloader?)
Flashboot flash OOS 3.1.3 (from pc or from bootloader?)
Wipe Dalvik/cache
Reboot (to bootloader?)
Flash twrp-3.0.2-0-onyx-20161020-085152.img as found in post from sundhar88
Flash latest CM13
Wipe Dalvik/cache
Reboot in normal mode
Should I download and keep the CM13 recovery version too?
Your reply would be massively appreciated!

No need for you to do this.
Just follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-update-bootloader-firmware-to-t3478917 and then flash latest CM13 nightly.

Okay, thanks! I'll try this and let you know the outcome. I have to install CM13 before rebooting out of TWRP, right? "Older roms won't boot" meaning my OOS 2.2.2 won't boot. Just checking...

After flashing the new TWRP for new BL you should reboot to recovery from reboot tab in TWRP.
Then wipe System ,Data and Cache and then flash CM13

Hi there.
I tried the way these folks suggested, by updating the BL using the zip file and flashing the updated TWRP recovery, and it worked!
What I did was, first of all, I took the backup using Titanium Backup and took a nandroid backup. Then I already had downloaded the files required, that is the BL zip file, the TWRP recovery, and the latest CM 13.0 build. Then I went to recovery > install and then located the BL and flashed it. Then I tried to flash the TWRP recovery but it didn't. Gave an error saying, "Unsuccessful" or something on those lines.
So I took that TWRP img file and copied it on my laptop. Then I went into the bootloader, which at first I thought was a bad idea since I just flashed the BL zip, then I flashed the new TWRP img file and went to recovery mode. And it had worked. So I flashed the CM 13.0 build too and then booted up the device, and it worked!
I guess that should help

Twrp + ROM For Honor 5x - L24 varriant

Hi,
I want to install twrp in my 5x l24 us version. I read some threads here at XDA about twrp and rooting of honor 5x. But I am not sure where to start. I am hoping that someone here can guide me a little. I currently have emui 4.0 with marshmallow official from huawei.
My questions are:
1. Should I make nan droid backup of my phone before proceeding to install twrp? I am not sure what exactly is nan droid backup.
2. Is there any risk of device being bricked during the installation of twrp?
3. I read a thread named twrp for l24 l22 l23 and so on.. Does this method work anymore? Because I see users complaining about some twrp issues.
4. What are the safety measures I should do before doing any rooting, flashing?
Note - I don't do much rooting or flashing stuff that's why I am asking here. Thank you in advance

It's all already answered, but OK.
0. You must unlock your bootloader before any of those,
1. you can try just booting into TWRP (fastboot boot recovery.img) and try backing up everything from there. I'm not sure that one works, I simply flashed TWPR and continued backing up from there,
2. No way you can brick it if you go by instructions; follow simple instructions from TWRP thread == recovery flash without issues. This device is flash-friendly
3. This one? That would be an official TWRP thread, so... it works, my L21 is on latest 3.1.1 build.
4. Always have a backup and don't flash anything you're not sure it will work and that's it. So, you've freshly flashed TWRP, first thing would be to make a system backup, that way, if anything goes wrong with rooting or custom ROMs, you can always go back to stock one without hastle.
Hope that helped.

Um, you did a clean install? I see you're from Germany, so I guess you're using KIW-L21 model, which is fully compatible with all ROMs out there (and it still didn't receive VoLTE update if I'm not wrong). Try clearing everything and flashing again, if not, restore stock recovery via fastboot and do a emergency reflash of full EMUI firmware.

Yes I did a clean install with Aosp Rom, LineageOS, Ressurection remix, XenonHD Rom but every Rom encpountered a bootloop where the animation ran for 10 seconds and then stopped. After that the phone rebooted and so on . And do you have a link for flashable L21 EMUI stock rom? And stock firmware only installable with stock recovery or TWRP?

Unlocked bootloader. Do I need to flash boot.img before flashing TWRP?

System Configuration:
ROM: MIUI Global 8.1.25 | Beta
Kernel: 3.10.84-perf-g1cb6922
RAM: 2.00 GB
Device: Redmi note 3 (kenzo) with officially unlocked bootloader.
There are a number of tutorials and posts on XDA and YouTube with varying content. Some of them do not flash the boot.img, some of them do.
I will be using Ubuntu to flash using adb and fastboot. Any suggestions regarding that would be great.
Here are the steps I think I should follow ( from the posts I read):
1. Boot into fastboot.
2. Flash twrp-**.img
3. Boot into TWRP recovery.
4. Flash SuperSU
5. Flash Lazyflasher
Would that sequence cause any problem?
No problem, just flash twrp without prior boot.img flashing.

I recommend you to use magisk as a root access. To be safe you need to make clean flash your rom again , who's know maybe superSu already exists in your system but not appear on apps drawer by doing this your device will be cleaned from anything that can cause you into bootloop. First download magisk and magisk manager and place it in phone memory or SD card it's up to you and then reboot to TWRP ,wipe everything cache , dalvik cache , system and data then flash rom , gapps and magisk.. reboot. Search for magisk at XDA and download it.

I am not sure if it would work, but I was also on MIUI 9 and it worked for me. Hopefully, someone else here will be able to let you know. AFAIK, it should work.

1. If I unlock unofficially and install zcx twrp, and then how will i install official TWRP that you mentioned 3.2.3 version safely without any bootloops or stuck?
2. After installing official TWRP, if I try flashing ArrowOS, is it possible to get bootloop after flash (because some people say they hard bricked their phone after flashing Roms after using unofficial method)?
