Hello all,
Here a tutorial for how to install the TWRP 2.8.6.1 on a Oneplus 2 device.
Attention:
I am not liable for breaking your own phone. I do this every day for customers and often it always works. It may be that something goes wrong (errors I have not come across!
First you must unlock your bootloader, to install TWRP later.
Step 1. Unlocking your bootloader!
Download adb & fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 i am using version 1.3
Enable OEM unlock and USB debugging:
Go to your phone’s settings » About phone » and tap “Build number” Seven/Ten times. This will enable Developer options on your OnePlus 2.
Now go to Settings » Developer options » and look for “Enable OEM unlock” option, tick the checkbox next to it.
On the same page, also tick the USB debugging checkbox.
Step 3.
Connect your phone to PC and open a command window on the PC.
Step 4.
Reboot your OnePlus 2 into Bootloader/Fastboot mode by issuing the following command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
└ Check your phone’s screen, if it asks for “Allow USB debugging”, accept it by selecting OK/Yes.
Once it is booted into Bootloader mode, issue the following command to finally unlock bootloader on your OnePlus 2:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
└ This will unlock the bootloader on your OnePlus 2 and also completely wipe your phone while doing that. So make sure you backup everything important on your device before unlocking the bootloader.
Once bootloader is unlocked, your OnePlus 2 will automatically reboot. In case it asks for bootloader unlock permission on the device, accept it.
That’s all. Your OnePlus 2 bootloader should be unlocked now and you can install/flash a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM on it.
Installing TWRP 2.8.6.1 on Oneplus 2
Step 1.
Download the TWRP 2.8.6.1.img from here: https://xq55.app.box.com/OnePlus2Recovery/1/4224692657/34795782429/1
Note: This guide assumes that your device has an unlocked bootloader.
Step 2.
Enable USB debugging on your device:
Open Settings on your device.
Go to About phone and tap seven times on Build number, this will enable Developer options.
Now go back to Settings and you’ll see “Developer options” there, open it.
Tick the USB Debugging checkbox.
Step 3.
Open the folder where your TWRP Recovery .img file is saved.
Step 4.
Now open a command window inside that folder. To do that, “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder and then select “Open command window here” from the context menu.
Step 5. Connect your device to the PC. And type the following into the command window we opened in step 4 above to boot your device into bootloader/fastboot mode:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
└ If your asks for permission to “Allow USB debugging”, tap OK.
Step 6.
Once your device boots into bootloader mode, issue the following command into command window to flash the TWRP recovery .img file:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.x.x-xxx.img
└ Here modify twrp.img with the name of your TWRP recovery .img file, OR change your TWRP recovery filename to twrp.img and use the command above.
Step 7.
Once TWRP is successfully flashed on your device, issue the following command to reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot
That’s all. We hope this guide serves you well. If there’s anything you’d like to be added/changed on this page, let us know about it in the comments section below.

Hi, is there the same problem with TWRP 2.8.7.0 than with the ONE ? I mean it doesn't flash radio files
Thanks

---

Thanks for the info. Just a small check.
Is the Warrenty void? Cause oneplus is always open for developers and I remember many mentioning that..,
YOUR WARRENTY IS NOT VOID in the previous opo forums.

Is there a version of TWRP that's actually built by the TWRP team? Everyone keeps linking to this site and I don't trust it, especially because they actually branded their site's name directly into TWRP.

Your warranty is not void by unlocking bootloader as confirmed by Oneplus on their forum.
