Hi,
So I have created this thread just because I can see many people creating new threads as after flashing CM 14.1, their phone doesn't boot up. So for all those who are going to flash CM 14.1 or have already flashed it and can't get it working, this thread is for you.
What you will need:
1. Rooted OnePlus X (Obviously)
2. Custom Recovery (TWRP recommended)
3. Latest CM 14.1 build
4. Arsenic Kernel or BlackReactor Kernel
So this is how you get CM 14.1 working on your OPX (make sure your battery is above 80% just to be sure that nothing will go wrong considering battery's point of view)
Make sure you have backed up everything before performing the following steps as the process will wipe your data completely. (I would recommend to take a Titanium backup of all user apps and then taking a nandroid backup of system and data)
1. Download the required files and place them in your SD Card or internal storage
2. Reboot your device into recovery
3. Go to wipe, and swipe to factory reset (Note! This will completely wipe all the data from your device including app data and SMS! This won't wipe the contacts but just to be safe, have a backup of all your contacts)
4. Go to Wipe again, and go to Advanced wipe, select the following partitions - System, Cache, Dalvik cache. Swipe to wipe (Note! Make sure you have a backup of the System as this will wipe the Operating System from your phone!) Although this step isn't necessary, I like to do it.
5. Go to install, and direct to the location where you have saved the CM 14.1 zip file and the kernel. Select the files, and swipe to flash.
6. If you want anything else in your system, direct to that location, select the zip file, and swipe to flash. (Note! You need not flash the SuperSU zip file as CM offers Root access in developer options)
7. Reboot your system and wait for it to boot.
Viola! Your device is now running official CM 14.1 nightly.
Hope this helps! ?
Downloads:
1. Latest CyanogenMod nightly - found here https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=onyx
You can have any version of the nightly as long as it is CM 14.1
2. Arsenic Kernel R32 (or R31) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/development/kernel-arsenic-kernel-r2-t3422020
Open the above thread and follow the guide

Good Evening, @aamodjoshi23 THX a Lot. You are my Hero. Finally it works.
greetings
If you're facing some Error 7 while trying to flash cm 14.1, you can try updating the bootloader following this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69267239&postcount=2560
I used the Oxygen OS 3.13 full ROM as recommended, edited updater-script (following those instructions)
Immediately after flashing the OOS 3.13 rom, you don't have to reboot.
I immediately flashed twrp 3.0.3 original from https://dl.twrp.me/onyx/
I then rebooted into twrp 3.0.3 (using the reboot button in twrp, then bootloader)
Then I installed (in this order):
cm 14.1 (https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=onyx)
arsenic kernel (as recommended above)
opengapps
Not sure if this step is necessary, but I wanted to let twrp patch the rom to not overwrite twrp so I rebooted into twrp again (using reboot --> bootloader in twrp)
Then I used reboot --> system
First boot took a while, but now I have nougat!!
kenel zip every time
Do i need to flash the kenel zip every time I update the the cm 14.1 zip file?

Yes, as when you flash the CM 14.1 build, the kernel that is provided with the build is also flashed, and that is not supported. So you need to flash it every time you flash a CM 14.1 build, but if you want to flash any other build, something like CM 13.0, then you need not as the kernels provided in those are supported.

Hi,
I have a very specific problem. I rooted my Oneplus x few months back and everything was fine. I use to get update notifications and after downloading it use to update automatically. But since last 2 months i download the update files but it takes me to recovery and then i cant find the zip file to flash/install. (i also started using external sd card two months back, but not sure if it has to do anything with this). I tried searching a solution on web - tried checking 'system' under Mount tab, installed an app for auto update and some more but no use. I even connected my phone in recovery mode to laptop and copied the zip file to internal memory but while flashing it gave error.
Now i am not sure what the problem is. Do i need to update my recovery or something else. Pls help.

In October oneplus updated to 6.0.1 officially i.e OOS 3 it brings new bootloader to the device as you are using old recovery you can't flash new update..so you need to upgrade to latest bootloader by following thread available in general section or you can flash stock recovery and upgrade to latest OOS and flash whatever you want to flash..I recommend you to see how to upgrade bootloader in general section if you are planning to flash custom ROMs or if want to flash latest OOS then simply flash stock recovery and upgrade. onece you updated to OOS 3 after that you can flash new official twrp 3.0.3.0 from its official page.
Edit: for old bootloader you need stock 5.1.1 recovery..which is not available in official oneplus download page..so just follow below link

I made a blunder. I read somewhere to upgrade TWRP to 3.0.3 and after doing that now i just can't access the recovery mode. When i try to boot in recovery mode the screen gets stuck with One+ logo. Then I even tried to Factory reset and the phone rebooted to the same screen stuck with logo. I longed pressed the power button and it got switched off and then again turned it on. It started and is working fine but I cant factory set it, nor cant I access recovery to flash anything.

This is because you flashed wrong recovery twrp 3.0.3 is for new bootloader and you are on old bootloader..that's why it all happened..so you just need to flash old recovery..then follow given link to upgrade bootloader and recovery.

I've got a good news and bad news for you.
The bad news is, no one has the older 2.8.x TWRP image files and there are no threads that have the download links for the older version of TWRP. So you're stuck and you have lost your recovery. You have lost everything... Having no recovery means you can't do a lot of things like factory reset, any wipe of a partition, you won't be able to update your system, you won't be able to flash zip files to enhance your experience and many more... I'm sorry my friend...
The good news is, I've got you covered. I had saved the older TWRP so that if anyone one day would need that recovery image, I would be able to help them.
Download the older TWRP from here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Ms-zaNd3SiTmpxX0UtYUV2R1k/view?usp=drivesdk
Flash it. You should get back your recovery.

By stuck on boot, I didn't know you meant that it showed only the OnePlus logo and not even powered by Android.
In that case, follow this guide to update your bootloader :

What would the proper sequence of steps be to flash this? I'm currently running Pixeldusts latest with April BL and TWRP rc1
Edit: nevermind I am an idiot
I may be wrong but I thought we weren't able to flash gapps on the pixel? Also, what build is this based on?
Error!
Just tried flashing. On April bootloader. Got an error message:
"Could not find the 'META/INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file"
Oh, well.
Oops - error was because I was trying to install from TWRP that was using fastboot! Once I flashed TWRP, installation was perfect!

i tried after writing the instruction but nothing works either. even i cannot even boot to the lockscreen properly. my bad
follow this method and it works but not working google backup setup, so you should install apps and backup settings manually
1. go to fastboot mode and boot twrp rc1
2. flash data, system, cache
3. install rom
4. reboot to system and unlock the lockscreen (it means swipe the lockscreen)
5. turn off your phone, go to fastboot mode and boot twrp rc1 again
6. flash twrp rc2 -> bootsigner
7. reboot to twrp
8. install beansgapps
9. reboot to system
i hope it helps

On their google+ official forum they said they're having issues with their own serves, there is an official mirror if you check
Working so far....
I'm on the April Bootloader, and this ROM is working like a charm so far. My steps:
1. Install TWRP, boot into Recovery
2. Wipe
3. Install PA ROM
4. Reboot into System, and then boot into Fastboot
5. Reinstall TWRP, boot into Recovery
6. Install Open GApps (Nano package)
7. Reboot into System
8. Boot into TWRP
9. Install SuperSU
10. Reboot into System
11. Used Titanium Backup to reinstall apps and data
With this method, everything seems to work. I guess if you are on May bootloader you will need to reflash the boot signer after each step involving flashing sometime from TWRP?

And does setup wizard cloud backup work with the nano GApps? I tried full and it would only allow phone to phone back up.

if you boot the phone after follows that instruction and flash nano gapps,
Hello screen - wifi setting - connect pixel<->other phone(mine was nexus5) - then the screen said you must use other way to restore back up - select cloud backup - email and password - restore backup
In that case you can restore your apps and backup settings from cloud backup cause i tried and works perfect.
i tried everything to restore cloud backup without connecting other phone but cannot found any ideas.
Hello Guys it´s me again. (i know im annoying )
Well, i did a Factory Reset in dotOS and it Rebooted into TWRP.
However, Normally a Phone would then Perform the Action in the Recovery but in this Case it did not do it. So i Reflashed the Rom.
After that it Rebooted into TWRP again. I Tried to Access the Bootloader with Vol Down + Power. That also Booted into TWRP. After that i Selected Bootloader in the TWRP Reboot Options. That Booted the Phone into the Mode where i Flashed the Recovery but it did not Give me the Options like META MODE, FACTORY MODE etc, when i tapped the Volume Buttons. Only a Black Background with White text Saying :
> FASTBOOT mode...
> device unlocked
I Tried to Restore my Stock TWRP Backup but that did not Solve the Issue. I also tried to Reflash dotOS but same issue.
What else Can i do to get this fixed ? I never had a Problem Like this on any Sony or Samsung Device i tinkered with. Thats why im asking that much.
@Marc_Xperia Do not forget to install no-verity-opt-encrypt zip file or simple disable *system verifier* in kernel ramdisk.

It's very simple
-boot into recovery
-wipe
-advanced wipe
-clear / format cache & dalvik
-reboot _choose reboot recovery
-select mtp file transfer mode in twrp
-push LATEST* magisk zip
-push clean copy of dotOs
-then do FULL WIPE (all) but not your sd or internal sd/data
-install first dotOs zip
-install magisk zip
-wipe cache
-reboot
* If you fail check what is selected under the mount section & report back
If problem persists flash an older version of recovery using SPflashtools and then older version of dotOs with magisk
_do full wipe first
#some new recoveries had errors so make sure you are running ABSOLUTE latest or OLDEST version of twrp
# I haven't tried the last or latest version of dotOs yes ( older versions worked 100%)

Hi Friends,
For every incoming update, full ROM gets downloaded & after flashing via TWRP, TWRP recovery gets replaced by stock recovery, of course we loose root.
Only way to get back TWRP is via Fastboot commands, flashing TWRP & Finally Magisk. This might not be a big deal to many but certainly much to those having limited access to PC.
After many hits & misses, I was able to update my 1+5t without needing to reflash TWRP & maintaining ROOT.
Word of Caution:- Before giving it a go, please take a TWRP backup of your current setup & keep it safe......just in case anything goes wrong.
I am not responsible for any bootloops / bricked devices. Proceed at your own risk.
The procedure has been tested by me since last 3 updates & did its intended work well.
Prerequisites:- 1+5t with unlocked bootloader, TWRP already installed & rooted by MAGISK.
You can achieve plenty of & much detailed guides on how to unlock the BL, flash TWRP via Fastboot & root by Magisk.
Tools Used- A file manager capable of handling zip files.......my personal choice X-plore File Manager, free version from playstore.
The fun part begins:-
1. Download the full ROM.zip from whatever source of the OOS ROM you intend to install.
2. Make a copy of the ROM to work upon.
3. Open the zip file in the file explorer.
4. Select boot.img & copy it to some other folder. I selected Magisk Folder.
5. Now open Magisk Manager & Click Install.
6. Press Install again.
7. Out of available options, press Batch Boot Image File.
8. File explorer will open. Navigate to place where you copied boot.img from zip file (magisk folder in my case).
9. The phone will start downloading Magisk zip file.
10. After the download completes, it will start patching your boot.img.
11. Do not reboot & get back to MagiskManager folder.
12. A new file in the name of patched_boot.img gets created.
13. Delete original boot.img file.
14. Rename patched_boot.img to boot.img.
15. Select the boot.img & copy it back to the zip file from where original boot.img was extracted.
16. System will ask for overwrite permissions. Grant it.
17. The file manager will repack the files to form a final flashable zip file.
Your modded Rom.zip is ready to flash via TWRP recovery.
This flash should update your system while keeping your TWRP & Root installation intact.
Please give your feedback for the results achieved.
Any queries are welcome.

Why not just flash magisk directly after flashing the ROM? In that way recovery stays and you have root.

OOS Rom needs a boot before magisk.
If you flash magisk directly after rom flash, it bootloops.

No? You have always been able to flash Magisk directly after an OOS update. You are installing the full zip, not the incremental correct? If so, flash the full zip from TWRP, then flash Magisk right after, then clear cache/Dalvik, then reboot. Everything works after that.

You can flash magisk right after the full ROM. BUT!!!
For an update without bootloop or without loosing TWRP you have to do this:
Go to TWRP
Flash Magisk Uninstaller
Delete Dalvik and Cache
Flash full ROM (Update)
Flash Magisk
Delete Dalvik and Cache
Reboot
The key is to flash magisk Uninstaller before updating. Then you won't get a Bootloop

But doesn't flashing full ROM uninstall magisk? I've updated 9 times without flashing Magisk uninstaller, works fine for me.

You would think so but I've also had bootloop issues which required flashing the uninstaller. So now I just make it part of my routine.
I used the procedure of this threat to update to OOS 5.1.2. Everything is OK except the Smart Lock menu. I lost it completely! All Smart Lock options are gone! Any ideas?

Known bug, unrelated to anything discussed in this thread. Remove Smart Lock from Trust Agents, reboot and re-enable. Happens over and over though. Annoying!

Are you also wiping caches when you were getting bootloops? Wiping caches does pretty much nothing. I have never uninstalled magisk or wiped anything. Just make sure to remove substratum theme. I have forgotten that and gotten bootloops.

Wiped caches in between ya. I don't use substratum but I do use xposed though Magisk. I think it has to do with that but am not certain. At any rate, I just use the uninstaller (it's two extra clicks) and don't have any more problems. This was back in January that I had these flash/bootloop problems. Maybe it's not an issue anymore but I just have my routine and it works so...
My steps are when i was in 5.1.1 OOS ( I modified some system parts so downloaded full 5.1.2 OOS firmware)
Removed Pattern/Password (For Safety)
Enter TWRP
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe System
Flash 5.1 .2
Install TWRP.img
Flash Magisk
Flash No Verity zip
Reboot
No PC needed. Yea its booted and all apps are there. No data lose..
Flashing uninstaller was not successful when I tried to install 5.1.1 and 5.1.2.

I use the simple method of downloading the full Update ZIP to my phone, rebooting to TWRP, clearing caches, flashing the Update ZIP, flashing Magisk, clearing caches and reboot. That way always worked for me.
No need for such a complicated process based on my experience.
I'm having a very difficult time getting this phone setup. I can get very, very close... but then it starts boot looping into recovery.
So starting at the beginning, here is what I did:
- Booted up phone, make sure it works and connects to wifi (I find out later that it got encrypted, even though I didn't set a PIN).
- Inside the OS on first boot, I install and use the official bootloader unlock APK from Asus.
- Rebooted into the bootloader and fastboot flashed TWRP.
- Rebooted into TWRP and flashed the Oreo modem, current unofficial Carbon OS 6.1, nano gapps, and magisk 16.6.
- Rebooted and the Carbon ROM logo comes up. It works for about 2-3 minutes, then reboots.
- After many attempts to decrypt (and a lot of help from the forum), I successfully restore the phone to "WW_ZE552KL_14.2020.1712.85_M3.10.47.15_Phone-user.raw.zip" with the Asus tool.
- Phone is fixed and booting again to the OS, but I'm back to square one.
Second attempt:
- Thinking I need to flash the raw Oreo ROM (instead of just the Oreo modem), I use the Asus tool to flash "WW_ZE552KL_15.0410.1803.55_M3.10.47.19_Phone-user.raw.zip"
- The phone works fine and is now an Oreo ROM with an Oreo modem
- It's still unlocked, so I rebooted into the bootloader and fastboot flashed TWRP.
- Rebooted into TWRP and flashed the current unofficial Carbon OS 6.1, nano gapps, and magisk 16.6.
- Rebooted and the Carbon ROM logo comes up. It works for about 2-3 minutes, then reboots.
- After the reboot, it goes to TWRP... whether I just let it boot on its own, or press power when it says: Start - Continue to boot >
What am I doing wrong?
You're having a rough go at this one eh.
I know we talked about this before, but did you try a factory reset and wiping cache/dalvik before rebooting?
Yes. As we discussed before, you can't wipe cache from TWRP. So I'd wipe dalvik from TWRP, then reboot to the bootloader to do a "fastboot format cache".
I'm going to try a different ROM later this afternoon. Maybe that will make a difference.

Hello! I've been able to boot any ROM by:
1. flashing TWRP
2. rebooting to recovery
3. installing the ROM zip
4. rebooting to bootloader
5. fastboot continue
But when I restart the phone, it always boots to recovery(TWRP), so I have to repeat steps 4 and 5 to boot the ROM, which is
Could you try and tell me if it works for you too?
I'm gonna take a moment to read about the boot process in depth, as it seems there is no straightforward solution to this out there.

1) Flash Oreo RAW (can be downloaded from @Saktis_STi' s unlocking thread.
2) Boot till system
3) Flash TWRP
4) Flash ROM, Magisk, GApps
5) Reboot
The reason why it reboots to TWRP is because of 'encryption' thingy.

many many thanks! I was able to get Ressurection Remix working by now
your steps were right, and I will detail them better to tell how I made it work for others reading this thread:
1) Flash Oreo RAW
1.1 - @Saktis_STi's thread is a bit outdated. I downloaded the newest firmware from Asus website.
1.2 - I also had to find a recent recovery.img, which I think I got it from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/original-recovery-img-boot-img-zenfone-t3572188
1.3 - I used the stock recovery's adb sideload to flash the stock ROM
2) Flash TWRP - all good here
3) Flash ROM, Magisk, GApps
3.1 - I wiped system, data, cache and dalvik.
3.2 - I flashed RR ROM, GApps and Magisk (EDIT 2: install all three before the first custom ROM boot, or GApps won't work)
3.3 - Performed a Factory Reset
4) REBOOTED TO GLORY!
For what it seems, the stock ROM encryption that is performed on the stock's first boot was the enemy.
Now one last thing... In Security -> Encription, my device is NOT encrypted.
Do I run the risk of ruining everything if I encrypt it?
EDIT: No, it didn't break, working fine
