Custom recovery and custom ROM - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently unlocked the bootloader of my oneplus x to install an ota update 2.2.3 oxygen os which downloaded but failed to install. Then a 1 or 2 days ago i got the marshmallow update (pretty late ikr unlike OP3 and OP2). But, i didn't install a custom recovery because on the oneplus site it was written in the ota installation guide that stock recovery is preferred while installing ota updates manually. So FIRSTLY i would like to ask that can i install a custom rom with an unlocked stock recovery or i need a custom recovery. Secondly, is CYANOGENMOD better than oxygen os or should i continue with oxygen os. Thirdly, do i need to root my phone to install custom rom and recovery? Lastly, is all this worth doing ?

You don't need to unlock bootloader for getting OTA updates.
1. You cannot install custom rom through stock recovery. You have to use custom recovery (with bootloader unlocked )i.e., TWRP by bluespark in oos 3.1.3 or later MM version.
Don't flash this recovery if you are using lollipop oos, for lollipop oos use normal twrp.
2. If you want more customizations, themes and root access then go for cyanogen. But if you want stable, with great camera then go for oos.
Personally i prefer oos over cm because camera quality in cm is not comparable as OOS have.
3. You don't need to root your opx to install roms and custom recovery
4. yeah for me its absolutely worth because i can flash what i want and do more things. ?
You can install oos 3.1.3 through twrp as well as stock recovery.

Jumping on MIUI 8 MM

Hello,
I've always been in Lollipop builds of MIUI, but since there's MM based MIUI 8 now I want to jump on that. previously, I'd do things as follows,
1. Flash MIUI fastboot ROM.
2. If bootloader was locked unlock it using MiUnlock program.
3. Flash TWRP.
4. Boot TWRP.
5. Flash universal boot img patcher.
6. Flash SU.
7. Flash Xposed.
8. Boot the ROM for the first time.
The way I describe above works flawlessly with LL MIUI ROMs, but since I want to jump on the MM ones, I was wondering if the same could be done with the MM based ROM or if I need to change something. Previously on the leaked MM Rom I got problems with UBP and the rom became finicky to boot. It would boot once but a reboot gave bootloop.
Any kind user if you have any advice on having MM with root and xposed please share your knowledge on how I need to go about doing that.
Thanks in advance.
What rom did you have, global dev rom or stable rom? My case at first was on global dev rom(LL) and received an ota update, then I copied it to external sd card, flashed by alka twrp the rom, superSU and xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64-MIUI-edition-by-SolarWarez-20160710.zip in one single flashed with success.

Previously I had to flash UBP to keep the recovery intact. Is that not necessary anymore? it was 6.7.21 leaked MARSHMALLOW. LL works fine.

Need help in Flashing

Hello,
I just bought Redmi Note 3(Kenzo) after selling My Moto G3 Turbo. I have got permission from the MI for unlocking bootloader first day itself.
But I went through some forum link and im confused on the procedure to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery and ROMS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-redmi-note-3-available-twrps-t3406708 Went through this and got more confused which TWRP should i Flash and all..
Could anyone please provide me the step by step procedure to unlock bootloader and flash custom roms like cm13, 14.. Please
I just use the standard TWRP for kenzo. I tried cofface and had a few issues with it being picky about the USB drive I was using. Many like using TWRP alka version since it can back up so many different things compared to the standard but the standard has worked for me in between moving MIUI 8 dev/stable, CM13, and CM 14.
I suggest zcx twrp, you can flash any ROM and backup all partitions.
Download MI UNLOCK tool once you get your permission to unlock.
Flash TWRP (Official or by dadi11) using fastboot.
Choose ROM and Flash it.
Thank You All.

Thanks for the reply.
I have got the permission and downloaded the flash tool. I am confused in flash CM 13 roms... I saw that we need to be on cm 13 or 14 firmware which is around 45-50mb.
So once i unlock the bootloader, do i need to flash anything else apart from TWRP to install custom roms or directly flash custom rom. Also can i go back to lollipop rom again from CM.

Yes, you do not need to install anything else I guess. Somehow going back to LP does not work. However, developer ROM works fine through fastboot.

Best root and recovery method

Hi, i am a newbbie with this phone and i read that using gcam port is the best way to improve photos. So i am looking for root my redmi note 4 global. I have seen so many methods to root it but i can decide which is best. i am looking for always get miui updates and hope the root doesn´t affect that. So i hope you can say me the best twrp installing and rooting method that allow me to install miui updates. Also if you can provide me the best method to install gcam port i would be very thankfull. Thanks in advance
Unlock bootloader. Flash orange fox twrp that allows incremental miui ota updates. Flash magisk. Profit.
Now you have custom recovery, root and updates.

Thanks for replying, the only thing i have to do is just flash that recovery?. Also, what additional steps do i have to follow in order to instal updates, or just tap on "reboot" on update app?

if at all you are going to install a custom recovery, theres no point of sticking to miui when a lot of aosp are available. and possibly the aosp custom roms provide more support to these mods/apps

What custom ROM are you using? I have found them all disappointing, one way or another. I'm currently on rooted MIUI 10 Oreo.

There is something called personal preference.
Just like you prefer MIUI some others prefer custom ROMs

Why are these custom ROMs not compatible with Oreo Firmware??
Edit: I am planning to compile a ROM for the first time. All I have ever done is to compile recovery(For Redmi 5A) where they are compatible with Oreo firmware(just like other recoveries).

Nobody has worked on the oreo sources yet so...
@sunnyraj84348 might be working on it, I don't know, I'm just assuming. Maybe he's focusing on Android 10 ROMs more than Oreo kernel.

Working on a custom rom is very time consuming. Till now I am still trying to create a device tree for my Mi cc9 so that I can make a ROM alongside with the sources provided.(I'm new to things like compiling roms)

Good luck with your project ?
[ i'm noob ] Does orange fox recovery working properly on miui 11 ? Unfortunately,i was update my riva to miui 11,succed to unlock bootloader but not with twrp,when i was flash twrp via fastboot,twrp just show up red screen then dim to black screen & only vibrate when touched. I was forgot to add command delete recovery from fastboot,before flashing twrp. Please help,any suggest to proper twrp at stock miui 11 global stable ? Sorry for bed english.
Not work properly when downgrade from MIUI 11 Oreo,now i experience messed up with stock miui rom,try to reverse back with flash full recovery rom from twrp,succed to flash,but when boot into setup wizard,error message appear,eg; "miui daemon has stopped,under that pop up,again error pop up "google service framework has stopped" > "xiaomi service framework has stopped" > "setting has stopped" & bla...bla..bla...! I can't pass setting wizzard,can't continue to normal screen. Then i flash pixel xperience rom 9.0,flawlessly boot until setting wizard done,run smoothly without error. Usually i like to change between custom then stock rom from twrp when i was bored with 1 rom. But now i'm stuck on pixel experience 9.0 (caf) & no twrp working properly when want to flash stock miui oreo.

global rom or costum rom?

for some time I have been using the xiaomi.eu rom, and I asked myself.
is it better to install a stock rom and then put a magisk in it or install a costum rom? if it is the second choice which one are you using?

Going custom miui rom (xiaomi.eu) is the best way to enjoy MIUI. You get all the MIUI china rom goodies without the bloatware and ads.

I use official global rom 11.0.1 android 10.
Rooted with magisc..
Got dolby atmos and Viper4android, a theme mod from one ui and works like a charm no reason to install any custom Rom.
See attachments ?
@derrekgamer what do you do when you get an OTA update? need to root again?
PS update your thread with one UI howto, it looks good!
Thanks!

Hello. Yes i receive ota update. A week ago Miui 11. 0.3.0 has arrived..
To do that ota update and keep my system up to date without losing any data im using pitch black recovery.. That twrp supports miui ota update and can bypass the xiaomi security. Is the only twrp who can do that.. And it's very cool.when i get ota update I press only the install button and the phone is rebooting and goes in to the twrp recovery and installs the update without any problem.. Before flash twrp says :
miui encryption : yes
Decrypted successfully
Installing ota update
Update successfully
Applying encryption..
Done.
Something like that and my phone works. I can flash also full recovery miui Rom global (2.4 GB size) using the same twrp.. So I don't need even a pc to reflash the hole phone system again..
Link to the twrp :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...covery-mi-8-lite-v2-9-0-base-twrp-v3-t4000857
The best.. Must read and see the article..
About the theme.. I asked on the Mi 8 lite answer and questions forum And it looks like no one wants/need A theme [ONE UI], because no answers So no reason do upload or do something.

Going custom miui rom like MIUIMIX, MIUI IT, XIAOMI.EU, Mi-Globe, MiRoom, Etc is the best. You get all the MIUI ROMs goodies without ads.
