[GUIDE] How to * Unlock * Flash TWRP * Root * OnePlus X [Including Oxygen 3.1.3]

Notice: Rooting your device will break OTAs because they require an unmodified system, so you might want to check for updates before rooting your X. However, there is a workaround:
Boot into TWRP via step 5E below, but DO NOT flash it (step 5D)!!
Do a backup of your completely stock, unrooted ROM
Root the device by flashing SuperSU...zip
When an OTA hits, you can get it by doing this:
Boot into TWRP again without flashing it (same as step 1 above)
Restore your stock, unrooted ROM (from step 2 above)
Apply the update from stock recovery
Backup the unmodified ROM with the update if you want, then re-root as above.
Note: You will lose any changes, mods or app data since you did the backup, but hey, at least the OTA is applied.
If you get stuck with an update that won't flash and you haven't backed-up your unrooted ROM as above, look here:
[Guide] How to Install OTA's with TWRP, and please hit thanks for @SpiritBreak3r :good:
_____________________​
Disclaimer: Rooting does not void the OnePlus X’s warranty, though damaging your hardware (i.e., burning up your CPU by overclocking, hardbricking the device) will. You proceed at your own risk! I accept no responsibility for what you do with your phone. Follow the directions closely, and the odds are you will succeed without any trouble. If you are not sure what you are doing, do some more research before you try. If you get confused with terminology, try looking here for answers or Google it. If you get stuck, post a question in the thread—we're here to help you.
Preliminary steps​
1. Make sure that your phone is always charged above 50%!!!
Running out of battery in the middle of flashing something could brick your phone.
2. Make sure that your computer can properly communicate with the device:
We will be issuing commands to the phone from your PC via the USB cable using Android’s SDK tools, in particular ADB and fastboot. If you have not done so already, you must install the following on your Windows computer for this to work:
Java runtime
The Universal Android ADB Driver for Windows.
SDK tools for Android (alternately just ADB & fastboot). Remember where this is installed on your harddrive for later!
You can verify the connection between your PC and phone by running the following procedure:
A. With the phone booted normally, connect it to your computer with the USB cable.
B. Enable Android debugging by going to Settings > About phone and tapping on “Build number” 7 times.
C. Go to Settings > Developer options and check “Android debugging”. A dialogue box will appear asking you to authorize your computer’s RSA fingerprint. Click “Always allow...”

}
D. Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you put SDK tools for Android (ADB & fastboot) above.
E. Type the following command:
Code:
adb devices
You should get a return like this:
If you cannot get the connection to work:
1. Check your USB connection, then verify that Android debugging is enabled in settings and that your computer’s RSA fingerprint has been authorized.
2. Still not working? Open Device Manager in Windows and make sure that you don’t have a yellow exclamation point next to something like “Android Device” or “One.” This would indicate a driver problem that must be resolved. Try re-installing the Universal Android ADB Driver for Windows, and make sure to restart your computer. Once you’ve rebooted, if you still have a yellow triangle, right-click on the device and select “Update Driver Software,” then “Search automatically for updated driver software.”
3. If you still have a yellow exclamation point, then try forcing the driver to install:
In Device Manager, right-click on the device and select “Update Driver Software.”
Select “Browse my computer for driver software”
Select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”
Select “ADB Interface” from the list
Select manufacturer “Google”
Select “Android Testing Interface Version xxx”
Click “Next.” If you get a warning, select “Yes” to continue and wait for the driver to install properly.
3. Know how to enter “fastboot mode” on the OnePlus X
To root the device, you must be competent at booting it into fastboot mode. There are two ways to accomplish this:
Power off the phone. Then simultaneously hold down the volume up & power buttons until it vibrates. When done correctly, you will see the words “Fastboot Mode” on a black screen. If not, you dumb-thumbed it, and the device will boot normally into Android. Power off the device and try again.
With the phone running Android normally and Android debugging enabled (see above), open a command prompt in Windows, navigate to the folder where you installed SDK tools (ADB & fastboot) and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Rooting the OnePlus X​
There are three essential steps to rooting the device:
Unlock the bootloader
Flash or boot into TWRP custom recovery [For OxygenOS 3.1.3 use TWRP blu_sp★rk r175]
Flash SuperSU...zip from recovery [For OxygenOS 3.1.3 use SuperSU v2.78 SR1 beta]
However, we're going to add a few more to protect your data and device in case something gets borked.
1. Backup your phone’s data
Unlocking the bootloader will involve doing a factory reset resulting in the loss of all accounts, emails, texts, apps and app data, pictures, music, etc. on the device. Move anything you need to keep onto your PC or a cloud service like DropBox.
2. Unlock the bootloader
2A.Go into Developer Options and enable bootloader unlocking
2B. Boot the device into fastboot mode. (Simultaneously hold down the volume up & power buttons until it vibrates.) You should see a black screen with the words “Fastboot Mode”.
2C. Plug in the USB cable.
2D. Verify that your device is connected with this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should get a return like the image above under Preliminary Steps
2E. Unlock the bootloader using the following commands:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The device will unlock the bootloader, erase all user data and reboot itself into Android. You will have to set up everything from scratch.
3. Re-enable Android debugging
3A. Re-enable Developer options by going to Settings > About phone and tapping on “Build number” 7 times.
3B. Go to Settings > Developer options. Check “Android debugging” and re-authorize your computer’s RSA fingerprint.
4. Download SuperSU zip
4A. Head over to Chainfire’s CF-Root thread and download the SuperSU access management tool from the “CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP” link. It will probably called something like UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.XX.zip. This zip file will root your device and install the SuperSU access management app in one smooth motion. Hit the thanks button for Chainfire or donate to his Paypal account and buy him a Coke.
NOTE: For OxygenOS 3.1.3 use SuperSU v2.78 SR1 beta
4B. Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.XX.zip to your phone’s SD card.
5. Flash TWRP custom recovery
5A. Download TWRP recovery.
NOTE: For OxygenOS 3.1.3 use TWRP blu_sp★rk r175
5B. Place file you downloaded above to the location where you installed SDK tools (ADB & fastboot).
5C. Boot the device into fastboot mode and connect it to your computer with the USB cable.
5D. In this step, we will replace your stock recovery with TWRP recovery.
Note: This step is optional. If you want to root but preserve stock recovery, skip straight ahead to step 5E below. Thanks @rockuppl for the reminder. :good:
Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you installed SDK tools (ADB & fastboot). Type the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-onyx.img
5E. Reboot into TWRP recovery with the following command.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.0-0-onyx.img
You should now see the custom recovery you just flashed, not the stock recovery.
6. Backup your stock ROM before making any changes
In TWRP press “Backup.” <--- See how simple this is???
Don’t be a noob—backup your device!!! Right now we don't have stock boot debuggable image files for the OnePlus X, so borking your device could leave you with a nice paperweight until we do. :crying: Restoring from a backup in recovery is easy, and only works if you've backed-up first
7. Root the device
7A. The device should still be in recovery from step 6 above. Go back to the main menu and press “Install,” find UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.XX.zip on the SD card, then flash it.
7B. Reboot the phone. It is now rooted!
7C. Go to the app drawer and open SuperSU. Update the binary if prompted. Its icon looks like this:
7D. Download and install Root Checker from the Play Store to verify that you have root access.

Yes I already own the phone and I see the bootloader unlock switch in dev options. I also checked the stock recovery which gives options to flash files from phone memory or otg. So it must be fairly easy. But I still don't want to risk it without it being tried and tested. If there were a custom recovery I could have also backed up the factory image. Only choice is to wait and see I guess

I could try today evening... will update here.

@CafeKampuchia
Is it ok to flash supersu.zip with stock recovery.
Before flashing supersu.zip, will unlock bootloader . Will follow the guide from oneplue two procedure to unlock..

Flashing supersu is safe on hundreds of devices, but I don't have the X so I can't say one way or the other.

I tried the OnePlus One tutorial to unlock bootloader and root it thanks to this guide.
When it comes to install TWRP, adb tells me it's ok but when I boot into recovery, it's the "official" one that show up.
Even from this recovery, I tried to install the SuperSU.zip, but it keeps telling me it failed, so I think I'll just wait for someone to do it correctly

I wouldn't try flashing a recovery for another device, especially if the stock recovery isn't available.
I'm surprised that supersu wouldn't flash from stock, though.

Well I thought that TWRP was for all devices and I already went to the stock one before installing TWRP without success to flash SuperSU.
But apprently, installing TWRP the way I did wasn't the right way because I still boot to the stock recovery :/

Hi, after unlocking bootloader, you are not able to update/flash supersu.zip from stock recovery? right?
if it so, then we need to wait for custom recovery to flash root.
Thanks.

No, TWRP is definitely not for every device. You have to use the version made for your specific device.

[GUIDE] How to upgrade from Marshmallow B510 to B521

It's a pretty straightforward guide. Just follow the guide carefully and you'll be in no time rocking with B521.
This guide is divided into 5 sections. Follow all sections in the order illustrated in the guide.
Optional Step (Recommended) : Flash Stock B510
It is generally a good idea to start from a completely fresh base. Although not necessary, you will however, loose all your data and apps. Backup what is important before following. ​
Flash Stock Recovery (see Step 4 below)
Download B510 from here: https://mega.nz/#!NYgUFYLA!wEEf0f3w_6wxbzr9TYTvTquGBUhsMmRG53G8RSp2xMQ
Copy the Update.APP in the downloaded B510 ROM to dload folder in the root of your external SD card.
Power off your device.
Hold Volume Down, Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously until you see the Honor logo. Your device will now automatically flash the whole Update.APP
Step 1 : Flashing Custom Recovery (TWRP in this case)
If you are already on TWRP, then skip this section.​Before you follow make sure you have installed Huawei HiSuite and ADB/Fastboot Tools. If not see the links below:
Huawei HiSuite: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/
ADB and Fastboot: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0LG0AQ4V9FpcXRmV1BmRk1Ta1k
Extract the ADB and Fastboot zip to any preferred location.
Instructions
Download TWRP 3.0.1 Recovery. Head to this thread for download links: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495 Copy the downloaded recovery to the folder where you have extracted ADB and Fastboot tools.
Power off your device.
Now while holding Volume Down button attach your device to computer via USB cable. Your device will now automatically switch to Fastboot mode.
In the folder where Recovery and Fastboot tools are present, hold down left shift button and simultaneously press Right mouse button. In the dropdown menu, select Open Command Window here.
Switch to the Command Prompt window and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
Replace recovery_name with the downloaded recovery's file name.
You have successfully installed TWRP :victory:
Step 2 : Enable Local OTA Update option in Marshmallow
In Marshmallow, Huawei has removed the option to flash OTA updates and Update.APP through the Local Update. Lets get that option back!​Credits to this section goes to OXALIS at 4pda.ru for making the patch to enable Local Update option in Huawei Update app.
Download the Huawei Update patch from this link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0LG0AQ4V9FpUXUybmFZeTVXNDg Copy it to either your device's internal memory or a SD card.
Power off your device.
Hold Power and Volume Up buttons simultaneously to boot your device to recovery.
Install the zip downloaded in the first step though TWRP.
Step 3 : Removing Root
If your device is currently not rooted and is completely stock, you can skip this section.​
Before you follow make sure you have installed Huawei HiSuite and ADB/Fastboot Tools. If not see the links below:
Huawei HiSuite: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/
ADB and Fastboot: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0LG0AQ4V9FpcXRmV1BmRk1Ta1k
Extract the ADB and Fastboot zip to any preferred location.
Removing Root
Download Stock Marshmallow boot image from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0LG0AQ4V9FpY1lBVF9ubFdOSXM Copy it to the folder where you have extracted ADB and Fastboot.
Power off your device.
Now while holding Volume Down button attach your device to computer via USB cable. Your device will now automatically switch to Fastboot mode.
In the folder where Recovery and Fastboot tools are present; hold down left shift button and simultaneously press Right mouse button. In the dropdown menu, select Open Command Window here.
Switch to the Command Prompt window and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot stock_boot_mm.img
Open SuperSU app and click on "Full Unroot" in Settings.
Your device is now unrooted.
Q. Why not just click the 'Unroot" option in SuperSU app?
Although that would work as it does the same the same thing described above i.e. replace patched ramdisk with stock backup, if the backup isn't present (such as you made a Factory Reset), your ramdisk will remain patched even though unrooted. It's good idea to revert to Stock boot.img if you ever need to root again.
Step 4 : Flashing Stock Recovery
It has been literally mentioned a thousand times that you can't flash official ROMs and OTAs through a custom recovery (such as TWRP). You have to be on Stock Recovery.​
Before you follow make sure you have installed Huawei HiSuite and ADB/Fastboot Tools. If not see the links below:
Huawei HiSuite: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/
ADB and Fastboot: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0LG0AQ4V9FpcXRmV1BmRk1Ta1k
Extract the ADB and Fastboot zip to any preferred location.
Instructions
Download the Marshmallow Stock EMUI Recovery from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0LG0AQ4V9FpbldwYWExOGNTUTQ Copy the recovery to the location where you have extracted ADB and Fastboot tools.
Power off your device.
Now while holding Volume Down button attach your device to computer via USB cable. Your device will now automatically switch to Fastboot mode.
In the folder where Recovery and Fastboot tools are present; hold down left shift button and simultaneously press Right mouse button. In the dropdown menu, select Open Command Window here.
Switch to the Command Prompt window and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery_mm.img
You have successfully installed Stock Recovery :victory:
Step 5 : Updating to B521
Download the B521 OTA zip from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxgU9yQssu83NTJ6eFBseS1ET3c/view?pref=2&pli=1 (Credits goes to vit755 at 4pda.ru)
Rename the downloaded zip to update.zip and copy it to dload folder in the root of your external SD card.
In your device, open Settings and tap on Update.
Tap the Menu button and then Local Update
Tap the Incremental Update option.
Your device will now reboot to install the update.
Tada! You're done! (Hit thanks if you found this guide useful)

It worked. Now on B521.
Thanks bro

Can anyone provide the changelog for this? is it worth installing over b510?

Help pls.. After installing the update using Huawei updater, the installation got stuck at around 92% so I had to reboot my phone, but now it's stuck in boot loop...

Are you sure you're on B510. The boot image has been extracted from B510 Update.APP so it should work on all CHM-U01.

The CHC-U01 will not work. You have to manually upgrade to B510 first.
The most easiest method is to downgrade to C636B330 and upgrade to B510.

Finally, B521

Root Redmi Note 3 Pro! [Install Twrp and Root]

Hi guys today I will tell you that How you can install Twrp Recovery and root your Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon Version.
This method of installing Twrp Recovery also work on any Xiaomi Device. By Any Device i mean the Newer Xiaomi device that comes with a locked bootloader. You just have to replace the Twrp Recovery Image file with your device Recovery image file But i am using my Redmi Note 3 in this video to show you guys the tutorial.
And as I said locked bootloader that means that you have to first unlock your device bootloader to install Twrp on your device.
You can check you my video on it:-
http://goo.gl/gZWfvA
So Now after you have unlocked your phone bootloader let me tell you that how you can install the Twrp Recovery and root your Xiaomi device.
Steps:-
So first Download The 2 files Adb.zip and then extract it and Twrp Recovery for your device.
Then move the Recovery file to the adb folder and make sure that you have installed the adb drivers for your Android phone.
If you don't know how to install it You can check out my video:-
http://goo.gl/a6QgtH
Then download the supersu.zip and the lazyflasher.zip on your micro SD card And Then connect your device to PC via USB cable.
Then open the adb folder And Press and hold the shift button and right click together.
Then click on the CMD option to open CMD And then type The following commands
First type "adb devices" and enter to check that your device is detected.
Then type "adb reboot bootloader" to reboot your phone in fastboot mode.
You can also boot your phone manually in fastboot mode by powering off the device and press and hold the volume down and power button at the same time.
Then type "Fastboot flash recovery" and the name of the Twrp image.
Just type the first 2-3 words of your Twrp image file and press the tab button then it will automatically paste the name of the image file and then press enter to start flashing.
Now you have flashed the Twrp Recovery.
Then you can disconnect your phone and to go in the recovery Just press and hold the volume up and power button together to boot into recovery.
Then you will get this kind of a screen just cancel
{
"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"
}
And if you get this kind of a screen then just "Swipe to Allow Modifications"
And when you go to your internal storage it will not show you your device storage because the device is encrypted.
So to fix this you have to go to wipe and format the data of your device. This will erase everything on your phone not your micro SD card.
So backup everything first
And most of you get this error if you're running miui 8 marshmallow on your phone.
Now you can see your internal storage but now you have to flash the super su zip and the lazy flasher zip That you have placed on your micro SD card earlier.
So go to install and select the storage in which the files are saved and then install both of them.
First install the supersu.zip and then the lazyflasher.zip and Then wipe cache and reboot.
It will take some time at first boot.
Now the super su app will be installed on my phone.
Let's check with the root checker.
So that's how you can root your Redmi Note 3 Very easily and also other Xiaomi devices.
So hope you like it.
Check out my video about this topic:-

Lazy Flasher- https://goo.gl/AzC3JD
Super su- https://goo.gl/t23Zok

Why you ppl mess up things ! It's ok for beginners but try to explain all kind of twrp we have for our device and fastboot format user data command properly

Cuz they have a flash.bat file with all the necessary file in one zip file. Put your phone to fastboot and run the flash.bat and it's done. So no need to manually type all those adb commands.

Thanks bro?

my phone doesn't boot
Hi, I've followed this guide just to install the twrp so I din't flash the other packages. TWRP was installed succesfully but the system doesn't boot anymore. It keeps locked on the "mi mi.com" screen (without "android" on the bottom). What can I do now?

You have to flash the lazy flasher zip from Twrp recovery. I have given the link in the post and then I will boot.
And be patient it take me around real 15 mins to boot. Please always read the full guide

Does the rom link given here unzips perfectly?
Because i saw in another thread of Lenovo K8note titled firmware, users unable to unzip due to error in system img. Also downloading from baidu needs a user id. If its possible could you or anyone else reading this upload it in some other online storage drive. Im little bit worried about getting a worse situation while rooting. Even if it goes wrong i can use the stock firmware to make it back.

Yes, I think so. Anyhow there is no need to unlock oem again if you are flashing the rom via TWRP. Anyhow let someone confirm about it.

Questions About Installation
Thanks a lot for sharing this tool!
There are some concerns I want to figure out before I install that on mu daily phone. (by the way, it Le2 X620)
1. My current EUI ROM is version 5.9.028S, does the tool compatible with my phone ROM version?
2. Do I need to do any pre processing to my phone before I install it? Like root, clean...

There's latest stable TWRP 3.1.1 images on the 4pda forum .
Unfortunately you can't flash any custom EUI ROM on the X626 because you get the message:
"This ROM is only for X620 model"
Can someone post proper latest TWRP images for this phone?
As this one has a Grosso Shop labeling on it

TWRP 3.0.2-0
Use for the installation procedure!

Yes I have TWRP 3.0.2-0 I've installed it from your post.
I was asking about TWRP v3.2 (the latest version)
If you're interested there's a TWRP v3.1 from some developers on 4pda but they'll won't work on Le S3 X626 as this message is displayed when installing a custom EUI ROM:
"This ROM is for X620 only please install the proper ROM for your device"

1.Yes
2.Check which recovery you have
-stock recovery
or
-TWRP recovery
already installed on your phone.

Hi! I have a x626 is not recognized in fastboot mode. I install TWRP with fastboot in various Le Max 2 and another x620 (in same computer). This phone don't enter into EUI or stock recovery but enter in fastboot mode. Writing the command FASTBOOT DEVICES the phone isn't listed. With FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK or FASTBOOT FLASH RECOVERY xxxxxxx.IMG show the message: "waiting for device" and nothing more. Whats the matter?? Thank you very much!

Your possible problems:
-usb cable
-adb&fastboot drivers
-version of Windows
P.S.
I dont have any problems
with Win 10.
Everything is automatically recognized.

The ADB drivers are the same as Le Max 2, really? Im using the cable with other phones (2 differents). And SO is Windows 10 Pro x64, and works with Le Max 2 (3 phones)... Any idea? Thank you very much!

Works on Le 2 pro x625
