Unable to update to Marshmallow - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I rooted my OnePlus X using Kingroot. Now that the update for Marshmallow is available, I am willing to update my unit to the same. I had unrooted my device using the SuperSU app. After that, I unlocked my bootloader and tried to boot to TWRP and install OTA update, no success. I also tried installing the update via stock recovery but it shows installation failed.
Also tried resetting my device and then installing the update but no dice. Nor do I have the unrooted backup. Also,have changed the system font.
Tried searching the forums. Please tell me how can I update to the official Marshmallow latest build?
Device Information:
Oxygen OS version: 2.1.3-x
Bootloader State: Unlocked
Recovery: Stock
Thanks in advance!

You need this update file. Because rooted your opx!

What about the system font? And will I get OTA updates as I have unlocked my device's bootloader?

Download your current version oxygen os rom put it in sd card and flash it via stock recovery, once u done that it ll again make ur phone us unmodified system now then download oxygen os 3.1.3 from oneplus website and and flash it by stock recovery this time it ll work cos of unmodified system.
Flash this first it ll work Oos 2.1.4 download link https://s3.amazonaws.com/oxygenos.oneplus.net/OnePlusOxygen_14_OTA_007_all_201512161752.zip
Boot into system reboot flash oos3.1.3
Marshmellow oos 3.1.3 download link https://s3.amazonaws.com/oxygenos.o...OTA_018_all_201609291837_741146bcf28e4587.zip
Doubts? Feel free to ask

I suggest you go step by step, from 2.1.3 upgrade to 2.1.4, move to 2.2.2 then 2.2.3, finally the MM, It worked in my case, I was also on 2.1.3 and faced trouble.. Hope it helps you.
Infact, after upgrading to 2.2.2, the system should have been unrooted. Just flash stock Lollipop recovery and leave it. You should get the rest of the updates as OTA immediately.

Did you check that the OEM unlocking was enabled after you unlocked the bootloader? Maybe that can be a problem. And I guess flashing the OOS Marshmallow build is possible only with the stock recovery (if you do not want to delete some lines from the code). So I'd stick to stock recovery if I want to update the OOS.

I guess this is more logical to do right now. Maybe it's something in the system that can be overwritten after upgrading to OOS 2.2.2. Because when I flashed the beta testing ROM on my device when I had the OOS 2.2.2, it worked just fine. But I guess it won't work if you don't have an older version of OxygenOS because of the small tweaks

[Q] [TWRP] Stuck in recovery after OTA update

Hello guys,
I need your help. I have a L7 II P710 and have intalled the rootable KDZ version months ago, but now I installed an OTA update accidentally and stucks since in the recovery (twrp). I checked all threads for a solution and tried to flash the new P710 V20C EUROPE OPEN version to repair the problem, but with several methods from the LG Flash Tool 2014 I could not solve the problem and still stuck in the recovery. Now I could need support from experts like you!
It would be glad when someone could assist me in this problem.
Greets, Bagerfahrer
If you have working TWRP, try to flash some of custom roms' like CM10.2 first. After that (if your device boot normaly), you may flash stock kk europe open.
And more details please, like version before ota upgrade, your country, simlock status etc.

Thanks for your reply. I could solve the problem... I downloaded a stock kdz version that doesnt include the twrp recovery or something else. After that I could boot normally up and down. Then I flashed the new rootable that includes TWRP and all works fine. But now there is a OTA update again and I would like to apply this update, but with the TWRP recovery it is not possible. Is there any way to restore the stock recovery without flash a stock rom?
My kdz contains pached bootloader (APPSSBL), and after upgrade via ota you have brick.
If you want this upgrade (why if you can flash my v20c?), you must flash back original RECOVERY and APPSSBL, extracted from your present original rom kdz.
And unroot your device.
Or you may simply flash original kdz.
After ota upgrade, no longer root is possible.
I flashed your 20c version (this was meant with "the new rootable [rom] that includes TWRP"), but my smartphone shows me every time the possibilty to update. Actually i don't need this update and tried to deactivate the OTA updater. I deactivated the update manager from my lg and disabled the notification but it still shows me the message to update. Could I backup the app via TitaniumBackup and delete it?

Yes, good idea. I recommend you to backup whole rom with TWRP. Just disable screen timeout in TWRP before performing backup.
Actually there is a solution. Its better not to use FOTA update if u have custom recovery.But also attached file can help.Sometimes.Helped me with v20D updates. Just flash it via recovery.

problem with twrp and oos 3.x.x

hello,
my current situation: i am on oos 2.2.3, not rooted, twrp 3.0.1-0 running.
i want to install a 3.x.x oos, version, i wanted to install 3.1.2 first, cause oneplus site i can install that directly form 2.2.3 (no such info on 3.1.3 and 3.1.4)
when i try to install with twrp, it says "this package is for "Oneplus" devices, this is a "ONE"
i think i am using the wrong twrp version. tried to install the newest (3.0.3-0), but this one doenst work, can not boot into it.
please help
Best is to fastboot flash old OOS 2 recovery
Then, with it, flash the 2.2.3. Reboot. then Flash 3.1.4. with the recovery
First you need to flash official oxygen os recovery for android 5.1 lollipop https://s3.amazonaws.com/oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPX_recovery.img Now you will be able to boot the phone. Now download and copy oxygen os 3.1.4 to internal memory http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-x/ Reboot into recovery and flash the rom.
Aftrr successful flash of oos3 boot into fastboot and flash latest twrp from twrp website.. This time it should work.
thanks, it work with the costum recovery.
on 3.1.4 i installed a slightly older twrp form sparkfire (3.0.2 i think), rooting and installing xposed worked fine though.
is it important to have the latest twrp?
and another question. at some point in my hours long struggel with updating my opx i softbricked it. i guess my bootloader was locked and i tried to install another recovery. i expected it to be still unlocked from my first rooting months ago. when does the bootloader lock?

It is always recommended to use latest (bugs free)
You can use this one https://dl.twrp.me/onyx/twrp-3.0.3-0-onyx.img latest as of now. And no u didn't brick ur phone. U flashed a new twrp for old bootloader version. Thts y u got stuck with oneplus logo. Its all oneplus things. Its always preferred to use stock recovery for updating bootloader which is safe. Check your bootloader state by giving this cmds "fastboot oem device-info"

global beta 7.2.9

As the title says global beta 7.2.9 is out. Anyone installed it?
What about twrp and root compatibility?
http://en.miui.com/download-299.html here is the link
Just installed it without issue with twrp 3.0.3. no issue so far, reinstalled twrp and flash super su 2.79 without problem too

Can you confirm the process please? Is it just:
1. Download the recovery version of the update to the phone.
2. Boot to recovery (TWRP).
3. Install the update zip file.
4. Re install TWRP.
5. Reinstall the SuperSU zip.
6. Reboot to system.
Do we need additional reboots between the steps? Do we need to unroot before installing the update? Does it matter if the existing global beta ROM is several versions old?
Sorry for asking so many questions. I have not updated the ROM since unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP/SuperSU several months ago and am worried about bricking my phone.
That's the steps i did , i first booted the rom just to be sure everything was OK before reinstalling twrp and supersu. I only had a message telling me the update wasn't successful but after installing twrp and wiping cache everything was fine. As long you install the full rom you should be fine with the update (do a clean flash to be sure). What version of Android is actually running on your phone ?
Update twrp to 3.0.3 as the previous version won't work with nougat

That's good to know. Just to confirm, the update could be applied "dirty" without a need to reinstall all apps and data afterwards?
I am still on global beta 6.11.3 (which is MM) and twrp 3.0.2.0. Is 7.2.9 based on nougat which would require the update of twrp? I had thought that the nougat beta was on a separate thread open to a closed group only...
I did a clean flash when updated to nougat (was on 6.11.10) but did a dirty flash from 7.1.19 to 7.2.9. Update to twrp 3.0.3 is highly recommended as it's updated with nougat libs and 3.0.2 won't "stick" with nougat miui.
Only the fiirst nougat build was on a closed beta but now it's open beta and can be updated via updater app.
Édit: clean flash is not mandatory i guess, i did it only to be sure to have a clean install without rogue app or incompatibility issue between mm and nougat. I use supersu 2.79 and have no issue
Twrp 3.0.3..?? Not available for Mi5 on twrp site.. Any mirror plz..

Look in the mi5 developement thread There is twrp section and in the 3rd post the op uploaded a unofficial release of twrp 3.0.3 but stable enough to be considered as official.

Finally did it, but not without scare - my Mi5 was stuck at the boot logo with "Bootloader unlock" message screen after flashing the recovery version of 7.2.9 update and reflashing TWRP 3.0.3.0. Luckily managed to get the phone into fastboot mode to flash the fastboot version of 7.2.9 and get the phone back on again. Finally reinstalled TWRP and boot into TWRP before rebooting to system successfully.
The key step I had forgotten was the booting into TWRP after its installation over the 7.2.9 stock recovery, which had led to the bootloop.
So I now have updated to 7.2.9. I do notice that the boot process takes quite a bit longer than 6.11.3 (design of nougat?), but once up, the phone feels as responsive as before.

You are lucky if you directly updated using updater on unlocked bootloader and your phone didn't bricked.
Yoo need a locked bootloader to update official OTA or you can use Redwolf recovery using OTA servival feature to update it to latest stable.

Flashed stock on TWRP.. What happens if I upgrade to latest STOCK?

I have a Moto E 2015 XT1526 with an unlocked bootloader, and TWRP. After trying many roms I finally settled on the stock rom in the interest of having a reliable phone.
The stock rom I flashed isn't the latest so I get the update nag, what happens if I update using this?
I don't mind if it deletes TWRP or kills root I am just worried it will brick the device.
Don't install a stock ota update if you have TWRP... Device will hard brick!
Some users reported that if you want to get ota updates you had to (if i remember):
- Unroot phone and remove all mods
- Install stock recovery
-Get and install ota
Aftee this you can re-install TWRP and other mods.
