Hello everybody! I thought that given the relative complexity of this task and the difficulty that some users have been experiencing with the process, I'd write up a small step-by-step guide on the matter.
Requirements:
VZW HTC 10 with s-off and unlocked bootloader
Computer running adb/fastboot
This guide also assumes that you have the latest TWRP already installed on your device.
Before we begin, I'll go ahead and insert the standard disclaimer. By utilizing this guide, YOU are choosing to modify your phone. By continuing to read this thread, YOU acknowledge that I am not responsible for any adverse effects that may come about as a result of your following this guide.
Okay, now that the unpleasantness is out of the way, let's get started shall we?
Step #1
Download your preferred AOSP Rom & MM Gapps and place on your external SDCARD. This process shouldn't wipe your internal storage but I'd put them here anyway to be safe.
Link to CM13 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/development/alpha-cyanogenmod-13-0-unofficial-t3465667
Note: A few users have commented in the Validus Thread, saying that it doesn't boot on VZW devices even with unlocked firmware. I'd recommend going with a different AOSP rom to start with.
Step #2
Download latest US Unlocked firmware package. I'd recommend the NoWipe option so you don't lose data on internal storage.
Link to thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/2016-05-27-fastboot-flashing-firmware-t3387520
Step #3
Modify firmware package content. Extract the package using latest 7zip. Inside there should be a large number of .img files. Delete the following files from the archive:
cradio.img
radio.img
recovery.img
**NOTE -> I am recommending 7zip and notepad++ for windows users because users have reported success with these tools. For what it's worth, I had no issues doing any of this with Xubuntu Linux's built-in file extractor and notepad application.**
Step #4 Change CIDs so that the CID in the firmware matches the one on the phone. There are two ways to do this. Either A). change your phone's CID to superCID or US Unlocked CID, or B). Change the CID in the firmware to match Verizon's CID.
Method A.
Reboot phone into download mode and plug it into your computer.
Open a fastboot prompt on your computer and type: "fastboot oem readcid" without the quotes - this command will tell you your phone's current CID. Write this down and store someplace safe. Assuming you've never changed it, it should be VZW__001.
Then type "fastboot oem writecid 22222222" without the quotes to write supercid, or look up the US Unlocked CID and change to that instead - this information should be available easily on xda, though realistically supercid is likely your best bet because it allows you to flash firmware from any region/variant without ever having to edit it again.
**Make sure you enter the CIDs perfectly. Ex. supercid should be "22222222" without quotes - that's eight 2's.
Method B.
In the firmware zip file you downloaded, you can open android-info.txt and find the CID in there and edit that instead.
Change it to "VZW__001" without the quotes and save.
Step #6
Rezip the firmware package and rename to 2PS6IMG.zip
Open the firmware package zip again to make sure it is structured correctly. All of the .img files and android-info.txt should be located in the root of the archive. If they are inside a folder, fix this or the package won't work.
Put the package on the root of your external SDCARD.
Step #7 Reboot phone to download mode. The update process should automatically proceed. When done, reboot to TWRP and perform a full wipe. Then, install your AOSP Rom and gapps from external SDCARD. Reboot to system & Viola! Running AOSP!
Some issues you may run into:
1. Can't get through setup because it keeps looping through the same screens.
Solution: enable airplane mode from the power menu. This allowed me to skip through the options and get to homescreen. I haven't heard of anyone else besides me having this problem though, so you'll probably be okay.
2. No signal/service/data
Solution: Go under cellular network settings and change access point to VZWINTERNET, cycle preferred network type between CDMA + LTE/EVDO and CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDMA once or twice should fix it. Your network mode should be CDMA + LTE/EVDO when you are finished.
3. Carrier label reads 3107
Solution: Deal with it or download an xposed module to change it. Also, I think one or two of the roms have an option to change this baked in.
4. Rom appears to bootloop
Solution: If the boot animation just disappeared, don't worry. It will come back. Be patient.
5. I can't get into recovery after this process to install new rom and old one isn't booting.
Solution: Remove external SDCARD. Boot to Download mode. Then choose reboot bootloader option. From there choose reboot recovery and you should enter recovery.
Happy flashing!
Thank you very much for this write up. I am now starting to feel slightly more comfortable about using my phone outside stock roms.
From here on out then, we should be able to update our firmware with the latest using your method of removing .img's from the package?
Thank you !!!

Your quite welcome, my friend. To answer your question, yes. Should you perform this process and be running the US unlocked firmware and an update for the US unlocked devices comes out, simply following the process detailed above regarding the firmware modifications will allow you to update to that firmware.

Furthermore, should you wish to revert to VZW firmware, doing the same process (except without modifying the firmware by removing .img files) will do the trick.

Btw, you don't need to edit the text file. Those lines only apply if the image file is flashed. If the image isn't present it skips that line. It's like the old -w switch when fastboot flashing an image. Just tells the phone if I flash this partition wipe it first.

Can you give some more info? What is the situation? Did you just run the conversion or did it just do this out of the blue? Ever have it happen before? It's hard for me to really be able to troubleshoot if I only have a fraction of the info.

OK, so here's what I have done with issues included since last post.
1) flashed verizon htc 10 RUU
2) flashed us unlocked firmware via 2PS6IMG.zip in download mode
3) tried to reboot into system, didn't work (should've assumed)
4) installed twrp
5) tried to full wipe (system, data, cache, etc.. not internal storage)
6) got the unable to mount /system due to invalid argument (not sure what it is) same thing with /preload
7) flashed cm and gapps
8) currently waiting for it to boot... looks promising as it didn't give me data encryption unsuccessful screen and is optimizing apps
did I miss any crucial information? I haven't tried to do this before, first time converting and flashing linked cyanogenmod 13 rom. didn't change CID on phone, only in firmware (also removed radio and recovery imgs because it said to). Thanks so much
EDIT:: nevermind, it seems to be working flawlessly now, must have been a corruption in the system of my phone and just needed reset. thanks for the help anyway!
I tried all of this, to no avail. I thought I had everything working well and CM loaded. Had "Verizon Wireless" for about 30 seconds when I got into the setup menu and I couldn't get past that menu because the verification text couldn't get through. Also, in recovery, I have a consistent "Failed to mount '/preload' (Invalid Argument)" red error line. I reflashed 1.85.x firmware but kept "22222222" SuperCID and Viper10 is working fine. I just don't get why my phone cannot get a CM ROM flashed! The US Unlocked Firmware must have been either 1. bad download 2. incompatible 3. user error 4. throw my phone and see if it works? Does anyone have any ideas?
Edit: Thought I'd add that when I go into "download mode" I see a line for "CRADIO: Error"
I edited the firmware package per the instructions to remove CRADIO.img along with the other two img files

The /preload error is nothing to be worried about, you can just ignore that. If you can't get through setup, enable airplane mode and skip everything. I'm not sure what you mean by verification message, is that some new way of activating?
Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk
If that doesn't work, redownload the Unlocked firmware and try again. You shouldn't be seeing an error for cradio when the firmware is updating, but if you see it under system info while in download mode that shouldn't be an issue because mine says the same thing and works fine.

Okay thanks. The verification I'm talking about is when I put my Google Email address into CM right when it loads. It can't get past the Google Verification page that the email address belongs to me, do you know what I mean? When you type in your google email address, it "verifies" it as you know. During that time, it can't receive a signal. Should I install without gapps first?

Oh, yes I get what you're saying now. I had the same issue. If you enable airplane mode (you may have to play around a bit with which screen to enable it on) you can skip everything and get to the homescreen. Then launch play store or whatever to get signed in to your account.

Post 2: How to flash a custom ROM and kernel (boot.img)
Post 3: How to reverse everything and go back to stock
Post 4: How to ADB Sideload a ROM
Alright. This is for everyone who wants to root their phone. I've seen MULTIPLE threads of the same question "Can I root my phone and How do I do it". So I hope I never have to see it again! In this tutorial, I use use my toolkit as the way to root. Doing it manually takes forever and that is why I made my toolkit.
Requirements:
HTC One X+ (charged to at least 70%)
Windows XP,Vista,7 (8 is not officially supported since I don't have the drivers)
USB cable
Ability to read and follow step-by-step
Understanding that I am no way guaranteeing anything. If you screw up your phone, you probably didn't follow my steps and made a foolish mistake.
Let's begin.
Download my toolkit from here.
Link 1 and Link 2
Extract the FOLDER to your C: drive or to your desktop.
MAKE SURE YOUR DIRECTORY DOES NOT HAVE A PERIOD OR SPACE.
Open One X.exe
So now you have my program open. Great.
On your phone, go to Settings -> Developer Options and Enable USB Debugging.
From my toolkit, Click 1. Install HTC Drivers.
After the drivers install, restart your computer.
After your computer loads up, open my toolkit and connect your phone to the computer. Your phone should now be recognized.
Now, click 2. Register at HTCDev. Register with a VALID email address and LEAVE the web browser open.
Now, under the commands section of my toolkit, press Boot into Bootloader.
You should have a nice, white, shiny screen that says FASTBOOT USB.
Click 3. Get Token ID. Look at the pop up and it will tell you how to get the Token ID.
Highlight where it says < < < < Identifier Token Start > > > > all the way to < < < < < Identifier Token End > > > > > and right click and it will automatically copy it.
Now, click Submit Token ID. Your web browser should now open a new tab. Scroll down and in the empty box, paste your Token ID. Press submit. HTCDev now emailed you your unlock token.
Your phone should still be in the bootloader. Now, go to the email address you registered to HTCDev and DOWNLOAD your unlock_code.bin. Press 5. Unlock Bootloader. Locate your unlock_code.bin and it will flash it to your phone.
READ the warning. THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA FROM THE PHONE.
When you agree to it, press the volume up button and press the power button to accept it. Your phone will now restart.
When your phone loads up, go through the set up wizard. Then, on your phone, go to Settings -> Developer Options and Enable USB Debugging.
Under the Extras section, press Perm Root. It will push SuperSU.zip to your phone.
Under commands, press Boot into Bootloader once again.
Now, it is time to flash a recovery. The custom recovery is for 2 different devices
TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery that will allow you to flash custom ROMs, Mods, etc.
If your phone is from AT&T or Telus, then flash the one that says TWRP ATT/Telus.
If your phone is NOT from AT&T or Telus, then flash the one that says TWRP International.
After it flashes, remove the USB cable and have HBOOT selected in bootloader. Press the power button and it will reload to another screen. Press the Volume Down button until you get to Recovery. Press the power button to select it.
Go to Backup and back up your boot and system partition. Always have a back up before you flash or do anything.
After that, go to Install and locate SuperSU.zip. Click it and slide the screen on the bottom to flash it. After it flashes, reboot the phone.
In your app drawer (your menu with all the apps), open SuperSU. If it says the binary needs to be updated, then update it. If it doesn't, then you are fully rooted!
Post 2: How to flash a custom ROM and kernel (boot.img)
The fun part! Now, I will teach you how to flash a ROM and boot.img
Find a ROM you like, the first thing you should do is make sure it is COMPATIBLE with your phone. If you find a ROM that is for AT&T and you have the International model, don't be an idiot and flash it. I will not help you with that since you already agreed to my warning from the first post.
AT&T and Telus ROMs are compatible with each other.
International models won't work on an AT&T/Telus HOX+ and Vice Versa.
Also, DO NOT ASK IF YOU CAN FLASH A ROM FROM ANOTHER DEVICE!
Will it work? NO! Will it ever work? NO! Can I flash it anyways? Brick your device, I don't care. I warned you.
Let's get back on task. So you found the ROM you want to try, so go ahead and download it. KEEP THE THREAD OPEN! MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYTHING AND REREAD IT AGAIN! READ WHAT USERS SAID ABOUT IT AND ABOUT BUGS! GO AHEAD AND READ THE WHOLE ENTIRE THREAD! GAIN KNOWLEDGE!!
Connect your USB cable to your phone. View the folders on your phone. I like to make a folder called ROMs on my phone and transfer it in there.
After you transfer it, open my toolkit and press Boot into Recovery. When you are in TWRP, MAKE A BACKUP!!!
After you make a backup AKA a Nandroid, click Wipe. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System. NOTHING ELSE! If you click anything else, IT WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE ISSUES ON YOUR HEAD!
So you wiped everything. Great. Your phone is ROMless, Yay!
Now go back and press install. Go to the folder where the ROM you downloaded, is located in. Select the ROM and slide the screen to flash it. After it flashes, press the back button. Press Reboot and Reboot into bootloader. Open the ROM you downloaded from your computer. You should see boot.img. Extract it to your computer. Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
After it flashes, press reboot from the phone.
Congrats! Enjoy your fully working or borked ROM! Remember, DO NOT ASK FOR ETAs, DO NOT BUG/PM A DEV ABOUT UPDATES, and BE RESPECTFUL TO THE DEVELOPERS!
Post 3: How to reverse everything and go back to stock
Now, let's talk about getting back to stock. There are 2 ways to do this.
1. Flash the stock RUU (If available) (Recommended)
2. Restore your Nandroid (backup that I told you to make earlier)
1. I'll talk about flashing the stock RUU first.
Open up my toolkit and press "Factory RUU" from the links sections. I usually have the most updated RUUs that Football releases on my Dev-Host account. Download the correct RUU for your phone.
Now, back up all your data (pictures, contacts, etc) since this will put your phone back to complete stock.
Connect the USB cable to your phone. Press Boot into Bootloader.
It should now say FASTBOOT USB on your screen.
Press Relock bootloader. It may give you a security warning error or it may say failed. Who cares, ignore it. It's normal.
Your phone will boot up normally.
When the phone is fully loaded. Unplug and replug the USB cable back in the phone. Now,run the RUU you downloaded and follow the instructions.
Your phone will be back to stock.
2. Now, we will talk about restoring your nandroid backup.
Connect your phone to the computer. Open up the folder to view the files on your phone.
From your computer, Go to TWRP -> BACKUPS -> (Your hardware Serial Number) -> (Folder you wish to restore to) -> and copy boot.emmc.win to your computer. Rename boot..emmc.win to boot.img
Open my toolkit and press boot into recovery.
Click Wipe. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System. NOTHING ELSE! If you click anything else, IT WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE ISSUES ON YOUR HEAD!
Press back and press Restore. Choose the backup to restore to.
After it finishes, press the back button. Press Reboot and select bootloader.
Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
You are now back to your stock Nandroid.
4. How to use ADB Sideload
You may have seen what ADB Sideload around the forums but have no idea what it is. Since our HOX+ does not have an SD card, it makes things harder when you have to flash a ROM.
Here's a scenario when we need to use ADB Sideload.
1. You accidentally wiped your internal SD and have no ROM on your phone
2. You wiped your ROM and forgot to transfer a custom ROM/have no backups(Nandroid) available.
3, You have none of the above and there is no available RUU for your phone. <----- This is a real bummer.
Here are the steps to load on a ROM
I placed TWRP in my toolkit for a reason. CWM does not support ADB Sideload (as far as I know) and TWRP does.
Boot into recovery manually. Turn your device off and hold the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button together until the BOOTLOADER pops up. Press the VOLUME DOWN button until you have selected RECOVERY. Press the POWER button to get into RECOVERY.
Connect the USB Cable to your phone and computer.
In TWRP, click "Advanced" and select ADB Sideload.
Download a ROM to your computer (if you haven't already done so). Rename it as one word. For example CM10.zip, QX.zip, ARHD.zip, etc.
In my toolkit, under the extras section, press ADB Sideload a ROM. Press "Yes" when it asks you if you are in recovery. Then select the ROM you want to install. It will then sideload it to your phone and flash it.
After it finishes, press the back button. Press Reboot and select bootloader.
Pull the boot.img from the zip file and extract it.
Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
You now have a ROM on your phone!
and for the hell of it in case I want to add even more.

Hold down power, volume up and down. Boot into bootloader. Select recovery. Select restore. Select one of your backups.
This should take you back.

Rom choice depends on what you want to get out of your device, its not difficult to pick out a couple roms and compare what you think will work best for you.

It worked for me, I got SU Access, but for the purpose i got SU access it failed. WiFix is not working, and I have the dreaded android SIM Card Inset wifi disable issue.

Use fastboot to flash a recovery then flash ROM through new recovery

Is it all I need to do?
Go to htcdev.com and unlock your bootloader. Then flash a recovery using fastboot.

Hi again,
i flash recovery (there were only "!" in red triangle when I access recovery) , I try TWRP but touch function didn't work so i flash clockwork and i installed custom ROM but when i try to reboot only appear white screen with green text "htc" and it is all, i change ROMs several times but problem is the same. I dont know what to do now.
Look at the picture, near the touch there is "fail".
How did you install the ROM?
When in recovery make sure you do a full wipe, even better do this from fastboot
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery
Now boot to your new recovery again, wipe all, install a common stable ROM for your phone (like cyanogen) then before your reboot go to advance and copy recovery log, now reboot
If you still get stuck at splash post your recovery log
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I flash clockwork recovery from fastboot and put rom on sd card and install from recovery.
i dont know what to do next, I changed hboot to ver 7.00.1002. and again only
appear.
Same again
Thanks demkantor, i tried that and problem didn't disappear. Only change is that after 10seconds phone turn off and again the same thing appear but this time forever. I notice that when I enter hboot i have this on screen on 1s look at the picture with green words. (I captured that earlier, now hboot ver is 7.00).
the second picture is about log I captured .
From the bootloader choose image CRC, it takes about 5 minuets capture but get it and then compare before and after flashing ROMs, if it changes its at least flashing to the right partition. And double check that the recovery your using is meant for your phone, also if you pull the full recovery logs onto SD card and then look at them you can check what partitions its trying to flash to
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
here is a pictures with old rom, when enter commands you give me at the botoom of this page, when i enter recovery, when instalation completed (I use this time ViperSaga2.2.0), and image CRC after installing ROM and Log after all of this.
Theres something missing and off hand I'm just not sure what, it sounds as if you are doing everything correctly.
I see you flashed a ROM with aroma installer, can you flash again only this time save the log at the end (from within aroma) and upload it?

There is probably a PG88IMG.zip that may help, but being I've never used your device before I would suggest asking your questions in your device's forum as someone there is sure to at least know what is going on. Probably should link this thread too in your new one.
There may be a common problem/solution for your phone that those in that forum will know, and being I'm on mobile its hard for me to search the forums to help without spending a huge amount of time
Best of luck and hopefully you can find your answer!

don't panic if you can access recovery your fine
download a rom and push it to your phone
boot phone to recovery / go advanced / screen / timeout never
on you pc you should have a folder with adb and fastboot
put the rom you choose in the folder with adb
then open a command prompt in the same folder (shift + right click - command prompt here)
in the window type
adb devices
your serial number should be here
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
let it copy is takes a few min and you can tell it's done
now from your phone go to install
find the rom.zip and flash
you should be up and running
Is the RUU available yet? Can someone please provide a link if it is? Thanks.

you seem very confused .. you can't flash any of these OTA like a rom it won't work !!
users using custom ROMs can't download latest OTA from HTC,
1) If you want to download and flash latest OTA, your device must have completely stock system partition and recovery. Every OTA update is checking MD5 of each file on system partition to ensure .apk patch can be applied. If even one of 1000 files won't match, OTA update installation will fail. In this case you need to flash the latest official update you can find (A RUU) (even one year old) and later download official OTA updates.

Stock HTC One, at&t, just updated to 4.4.2 yesterday morning (approx 11am EST).
I was able to successfully edit three pictures... The first, a simple rotate, changed the pic and ovetwrote the original. The second, also from a separate folder, I cropped a pic and saved it. This created a second image of the edited content. Finally, I edited a pic from the camera pic folder, which included crop and effects. This saved correctly as a separate file as well.

Hello everyone. I just sold my Moto X so I will no longer be updating this toolkit. I will try and help anyone with questions/problems when needed.
Back by popular demand...
I have had some people asking for links for my previously deleted toolkit.
So I have decided to revamp the toolkit for dev edition devices only. (Currently only supporting GSM dev (AT&T and T-Mobile) and VZW Dev)
With this toolkit you will be able to the following...
1) Root your device (unlock bootloader, install TWRP, install superSU)
2) Unroot your device
3) Return to stock
4) Debloat (google, moto, vzw stuff)
5) Activate mobile hotspot (VZW only)
6) reboot (recovery, bootloader, device)
7) Customize (bootanimation, bootlogo, ringtones, notifications)
How to use
1) Click download below
2) Extract zip file
3) Turn you phone on
4) Make sure USB debugging is enabled
5) Plug your phone into the computer.
6) Run moto_x_mac_tools.tool
7) FOLLOW ONSCREEN INSTRUCTIONS
Screenshots
See attachments...
Download
Moto X Toolkit v2.03
Change Log
v2.01 - Fixed some bugs with restoring back to stock, removed ReadWrite status (with dev edition this status is not needed)
v2.02 - Added downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4
- When returning to stock, or downgrading, USER DATA will be erased (no longer an option)
- There are only 2 variants of the dev edition so I changed to Verizon and GSM
v2.03 - Updated to latest supersu and TWRP
Please do not redistribute/mirror this toolkit. If you would like to link it in any other thread, please include a link back to this thread, give proper credit.
As with anything you will find on XDA, I am not responsible for anything that occurs to your phone or computer by using this toolkit.

Awesome, I used your old toolkit to flash stock recovery (so I could take the ota) and then back to TWRP. It was so easy! I'm sure others will appreciate this as well.

unlock with moto first?
Do I need to unlock my bootloader with Motorola before using the toolkit? I do have a VZW Dev device, but wanted to confirm.
This utility is amazing and a must for anyone with a Mac! Thanks x100!

You can either unlock before using the toolkit. Or you can use the toolkit to guide you through the unlock. If you go to root device. The 1st question is if you are unlocked or not. If not, it will guide you through the process of unlocking the bootloader (semi-automatic). Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for re-posting this tool.
I am trying to go back to stock 4.4 to get the OTA (I have a Dev Ed VZN Moto X). I followed the on screen directions and downloaded the VZN 4.4 file (640 MB file). Then the phone reboots to bootloader (ReadWriteMode is 0). I press ENTER since the device has booted into FB mode and it says USB connected, the ReadWriteMode reads error: device not found (I did not unplug the phone from the computer).
Is there a fix for it? The same thing happens when I try to download 4.4.2.
Thanks

Just install TWRP and install Eclipse 3.2.1. This is the ROM that I use. It is great!! See if that fixes your color issue. If it does not. They I would say your device is f-ed up.

I should not downgrade to 4.4, right?

I am not sure if you can downgrade or not with a dev edition. I have never tried. I know some people that have a consumer VZW (locked bootloader) cannot downgrade.
Hard brick for OPT happens when you change critical partitions. It will follow improper firmware flash or accidental erase of certain partitions. The phone won't show any response when hardbricked.
The solution for OPT is similar to OPO - you just need a Qualcomm driver and a recover package. The only full recovery package available is very big and it restore the phone to Hyrdogen OS, with everything wiped. So it would not be very attractive.
Fortunately, thanks to this post from Chinese supporting forum, a minimal version of restore package is provided. It does not wipe user data and guarantee a recovery entry. you would normally be freed using this package. if not, please use the full package in the end of the post
Download link for driver
Download link for Recovery tool
uncompress the files to a local folder.
First step, turn off drive signature enforcement in windows 8/8.1/10. Tutorial Here
Second step, hold the power key for 20 seconds to force turn off power. connect OPT to usb, hold volume+ and power until your PC finds a new hardware (if it doesn't work, try hold volume+ and volume- together)
Third step, go to device manager in your PC, find the new "QUALCOMM-HS USB Diagnostics 9006" device. Update its driver in property page using the Qualcomm driver provided (for 32bit windows, select x86 folder; for 64bit windows, select x64 folder).
Fourth step, when the driver is installed properly, run MSM8994DownloadTool.exe in the recover tools folder, using admin privileges . Clear start in top left corner and wait for it to finish.
Now your OPT should be able to enter TWRP recovery. It still won't boot but you can manually flash anything again (like the full Oxygen OS package).
The procedure is tested by me twice. Enjoy!
p.s: sorry the recovery image in the A2001_save_brick_mini.rar is Chinese. Please download this file, change the name to recovery.img and substitute the file in the recovery tool before flashing.
UPDATE：full Oxygen OS 150805 restoration package for those who experience recovery entry problem. Note that this package wipes everything including internal storage!
Awesome, I will go ahead and make a full recovery tool that includes these files as well as the latest version of OxygenOS as I did with the Oneplus one.
You write about a full Oxygen Package? What do you mean with it? a flashable .zip or fastboot .img?

Havn't made it yet, still need to work on it. It is a little different than OPO so it might take some time.
okay this will be great. Take your time i'm ready
Hi,
anyone knows how I can force the OnePlus Two to enter QUALCOMM-HS mode?
I have a "semi-bricked" OP2.
It can boot, but the recovery is broken and I cannot enter it anymore. Worse enough, the bootloader is locked and I cannot unlock it anymore.
So I am kinda stuck and thought this manual would bring me back recovery. But - I cannot get it to enter this specific emergency recovery mode as boot loaders are intact.
Any idea?
Thanks
Andi

Hi,
ok, I am one step further now.
I could bring the device in that mode, flashed via this recovery tool. All partitions were flashed but still no recovery. How can that be? ooops.
I did that many time on my OPO already successfully. But of course with the full recovery package.
So question is, I would not mind starting from scratch... anybody knows where the "big" recovery package that erases everything is available?
Thanks

I'm in a similar situation to you. I lost my recovery and somehow my boot loader is locked again. I can't set OEM unlock as I am on the old version of OxygenOS.
I tried the above instructions but they don't work. The phone reboots as normal, not in to recovery. If you solve this then let me know.
EDIT: I think flashing hydrogenos using this method is the best idea. We can then select the OEM unlock from developer settings, use fastboot to unlock the bootloader and flash a new recovery. The question is how? @qwsdert4

I am on Oxygen 2.0.1 and still do not have the option. Something is really odd...

Hi, I got the "big recovery package" in question from OP support centre in China. It will recover your OPT to factory Hydrogen OS from which you could start over. I'll upload it onto Mega very soon so stay tuned.

HydrogenOS definitely has the option because it is how I flashed TWRP in the first place

Precisely, that is exactly what I meant. Fingers crossed that will solve this.
It could be I successfully recoverd following a hint by user @Zyxxeil (many thanks for the help).
If all works I will post soon what I did.
But - have everything running now again. Next I try to flash twrp again and root. If that worked, I will post the steps.

Very nice. Wait for it...
Is a Version with Oxygen OS also aviable?
