Hi all,
I want to share with you the result of my work.
I'm not a dev and my English is not very good, I'm just a user who found a way to root his device
For that I will not make an other tuto, just release my file and make a quick explanation.
YOU MUST UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER BEFORE CONTINUE.
Files are for F3112 (dual sim) ONLY. F3111 use a different kernel.
TWRP is fully working but if internal memory is encrypted by default you can't backup userdata and mount internal memory.
You must know and understand what you are doing.
If you have a problem after flashing files I will help you but I repeat, I'm not a dev.
You can reflash firmware to stock with Flashtool v0.9.22.3
You have to do all steps again after an update
Free to you to distribute, modify files or make a nice tuto but please link this thread as source.
FOLLOWING GUIDE AND FILES ARE OUTDATED, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS ONE:

New it was to good to be true oh well. Nice work but I'll be getting a lte model hopefully later on today so no use to me and coding is way out of my league. Surprised the kennels are different, on M2 5.1 across all models lte or dual, kernel is the same and firmware version. Oh well back to the drawing board. Beginning to think may be I should pay the extra after all and get the Qualcomm powered x

@aidy.lucas, but my device is F3116
after i Flash boot and recovery, my device boot loop to TWRP. T_T
@aidy.lucas, for me kernels are different because I have to choose between single or dual defconfig before compiling kernel. I will look closer at defconfigs to see what is different. Or if anyone can test on F3111 and feedback

gz...so will u try the root method ,described above. This phone must be rooted in order to fix % of battery. 56% used in the last 11 hours / 4g turned off,20-30% screen....
rrvuhpg, Thank you. I got root successfully. :good:
@emmiiz, I think your bootloop is because the firmware is different (probably just a little). If you compare you will see F3111, F3112, F3113 are LTE and F3115, F3116 are TD-LTE. Maybe I'm wrong but it can do the difference (already seen on other devices). Link to compare: http://www.plusmobile.fr/comparer/m...al-f3112-vs-sony-xperia-xa-dual-f3116/3504635
An other thing, CDA numbers (customisation) are different between all 5 devices for the same firmware and same name of customisation, I think it's not for fun lol.
And are you sure your bootloader is unlocked ? To be sure, reflash only original boot and recovery (fotakernel) with Flashtool, boot to Android and on the phone dialer enter *#*#7378423#*#* It will open hidden service menu. Now go to "service info" and "configuration". Have you "Bootloader unlocked: Yes" ?
@Horofox, I'm really happy for you it worked ? Your device is the F3112 ?
@rrvuhpg, thank.
My device "Bootloader unlocked: Yes"
I think boot.img it's not yet to work for F3116 T_T
sorry if this is a stupid question , i have 3113 , boot loader unlocked etc international version. is this safe to try?

Pretty sure you just need to flash stock kernel via flashtool unticking everything else. Personally I'd probably flash the whole thing myself to avoid any other problems especially if it's new.

Download untethered twrp from here (zooa is for all ze551ml,z008 is for ze550ml),
if the .img you just downloaded doesnt have name as twrp.img [it may have version along it] then please rename that to twrp.img[remove those versions] and turn off ur phone, plug the usb cable in ur phone port,hold the VOL UP[no need to press the power] and connect the other end of cable to PC port,wait for few seconds till the green Android robot appears. You should see a blue line below saying "Waiting Fastboot command or Continue the fastboot process"
select the folder where you are having the twrp.img by pressing Shift + Right Click.. Then select "Open command here"...[in case you are wondering where and how see pics here or here]

it will enter twrp,first take the backup of ur current OS[tick everything], choose sdcard for backup,so u can restore if u want to use stock at some point[even the apps will be there,but if you kept the obb,data in internal,it will be wiped,so better copy android folder to pc]
now click wipe,click advanced wipe,select everything except the microsd [be careful],if u want to keep the internal files,then untick internal storage also
Click the install,choose externalSD, search for those zip,and install CM.zip ,then install Gapps.zip,then supersu.zip,now reboot..

OK, so far I'm unlocked. But, I'm stuck on step 3 - select the folder where you are having the twrp.img by pressing Shift + Right Click.. Then select "Open command here"
EDIT:Got it! I had to open the actual folder first with TWRP in it (adb is where I put it) in my C drive then the right click + shift works as you said within the folder - thanks so much for this tutorial!
Is it neccessary to be on 2.19.40.22? There wasn't much of a difference between 2.19.40.20 and 2.19.40.22. Would I have to flash the OTA then flash CM? Also, do you recommend wiping cache/dalvik after flashing GAPPS just in case?
PS: Thank you Ansebovi! All your guides are easy to read and follow.

su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/by-name/recovery

Here is the STOCK ROM and STOCK RECOVERY for HTC DESIRE 820q Dual Sim
For those guys who have flashed custom recovery on their D820q dual sim and are searching for stock one, here I provide you the links for both the Stock Recovery and the Stock Rom.
Credits :
* EZN-74 for the Recovery he had provided me and I have flashed it on my D820q and it worked.
* fergy for providing the Stock Rom/Firmware. However I didn't test the Rom and I don't know if it will work with other than the Indian Variant of D820q Dual Sim. (BTW I don't know much about flashing this Rom)
Downloads :
* STOCK RECOVERY
(Before flashing, I suggest you to rename the recovery from recovery 820q.img to just recovery.img)
* STOCK ROM
* I think most of you know how to flash the recovery as you have already flashed the custom ones. And for the Noobs who don't know how to flash, can flash the recovery provided by me by using the commands as provided HERE
** Do at your own risk, I am not responsible if you brick your device or void your warranty **
HOW TO GET INTO STOCK RECOVERY
1. Flash the stock recovery
2. Turn on device and untick Fast boot from Settings >Power and then Power off
3. Hold Vol Down + Power to get into HBOOT menu
4. Scroll to Recovery option using volume keys and use power button to select
5. The device will display the Recovery icon with an Exclamation mark
6. Wait 10 seconds and Hold Vol Up and then press Power button
7. And Boom, you get into recovery.:good:
Don't forget to Hit that Thanks button

How to Flash RUU(for HTC Desire 820q Dual SIM):
1- Download the *.zip(RUU) file from here:
ir-file.com/portal/index.php?dir=Firmware/HTC/HTC_Android/A50_DTUL
Note: The zip will not extract, you have to use it directly without extracting. So don't bother trying to extract the zip, it will always give you error.
2- Rename the file to "0PF6IMG.zip"
3- Put the file on SD card and insert it into mobile!
4- Reboot into bootloader and it will ask you if you want to update.
Note: Turn off your phone, press and hold POWER and VOL DOWN.
5- Press VOL UP to say yes.
6- Wait about 20-30 minutes!
7- Done! You've flashed RUU file successfully!
BTW I tested this RIGHT NOW on my phone and it works!
I used this: 0PF6IMG_A50_DTUL_K44_DESIRE_SENSE60_hTC_Asia_India_1.01.720.2_Radio_01.01.010_U1030433_08.01.1017_release_398545_combined_signed.zip

yup it works, but will this work on a bricked Htc? One guy told me you can flash this after renaming it to firmware.zip using-
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Can you try this and post back? I want to build a rom for this device but i dont have the official firmware which i can use to unbrick it (if it the phone bricks). Official Rom files like system.img, boot.img and recovery.img are not available for this device anywhere on internet, i have been searching since 2 months but i got only this 0PXXIMG which you and OP posted. (i got the same file on other websites after searching a LOT)
bro,
I have locked htc desire 820 dual sim with off debugging option. Its boatloader has been corrupted and it cant show boater options. Any help??

yeah I also tried that but didn't work! (The problem is our "*.zip" RUU file is to large to be transferred through fastboot USB! the error was something like this: the file is to large!)
And also, if a device is bricked(hard bricked; not soft bricked), you cannot use fastboot commands! Because you can't access bootloader to use fastboot and "fastboot oem rebootRUU"!

i mean, if bootloader is accessible, does this work on a device which has a custom rom installed (or in general, on a modified system).

If you access bootloader, you can use both ways!(either you have stock or custom ROM) But I guess the "fastboot" method does not work with 1.0 GB files or larger!

And you are right regarding file size limit, fastboot allows only files upto 256mb on moto e. I dont know if this is an issue with fastboot our with device under consideratron.

Well, it is good to now that someone finally tested this rom and it worked.
For an easy way to Unlock, Root & Decrypt your Mate 8 here are the steps you need to take. This has been requested by a number of you so here it goes:
1) Unlock your bootloader. There are three steps you can take. The first is free. The second method requires you to pay a few dollars but it works and is the fastest way. I would highly recommended this method. This is confirmed working on all models.
Option 1: Make a Huawei ID on your phone and stay signed in for 14 days and go then online to unlock your bootloader and it should work on the website.
https://uniportal.huawei.com/accounts/register.do?method=toRegister
Option 2: If you want to unlock your phone immediately and don't mind paying a few dollars this method works. Visit here:
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy
- Download the DC Unlocker Software
- On their site buy 4 credits. I used PayPal. It cost me around $4.38 USD.
- Follow the instructions in their tutorial. Choose "Read Bootloader Code" in DC-Unlocker to get your bootloader code. It was pretty easy.
- Put your phone in bootloader mode (plug into the computer and hold in power and volume down with the phone off) and download the Android tools from the link at the end of step two. Extract them to a folder on your desktop and open a command prompt to that folder and type in fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx where x is your bootloader unlock code the DC Unlocker program gave you.
2) Download the TWRP recovery of the EMUI version you are currently on (5.0 ,5.1, 6.0) from here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5I_q70mNuR4Vmo5LUUyU2t5TWs?usp=sharing
Then put your phone into Bootloader Mode (plug phone into computer and hold in power + vol down) and fastboot flash the TWRP recovery file you downloaded. Here are the Android tools you need to fastboot flash. Extract them to a folder and put the twrp recovery img file inside the folder as well and open up a command prompt to the folder and type in fastboot flash recovery TWRP-ENG-XXX.img (where XXX is the version of TWRP you downloaded) Then type in fastboot reboot. When your phone reboots shut it back down and then hold in volume up and power until it turns on and keep holding in volume up until the phone boots into TWRP recovery.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4UzdkeERRZExnUVk/view?usp=sharing
3) Root your phone.
In TWRP flash SuperSU:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4OWlXeTJuTjdoS0k/view?usp=sharing
After flashing you will be rooted and on TWRP successfully.
4) Decrypt your internal storage.
You must decrypt your internal storage so TWRP can see it or if you want to be able to flash a rom. If you're getting an unable to format data in TWRP then you know you need to do this. Boot into TWRP then go to Wipe then Advanced Wipe then Format Data and type in yes. This will wipe and decrypt your internal storage. BACK UP YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE before you do this if you have anything important on it. (Pics are at the bottom of this post) Then either flash one of my roms or decrypted boot.img to keep the internal storage decrypted. If you boot with the stock boot.img installed it will encrypt your internal storage again and you'll have to repeat the process.
*To take an ota or do the dload method you don't have to relock"
does flashing supersu through twrp directly work? in my case i needed to flash the decrypted boot image first, otherwise id have a bootloop after rooting...

It works for me when i'm on stock B137.

I believe so. I'm not too familiar with the International firmware. I saw it posted somewhere so I saved it in case anyone needed it.
yep thats correct, B137 latest chinese and B133 latest international rom
thanks for the info, i had some problems with flashing supersu, but once i flashed the decrypted boot image my bootloop and partition mounting troubles in twrp were gone no idea what exactly was the culprit there but i guess ill stick to flashing the decrypted boot.img first before continuing with rooting a firmware...

I made it two days ago and it works with mate8.
Does this now mean we are likely to see numerous custom roms & kernels being developed in the very near future for this awesome smartphone ?
i sure hope so especially since huawei seems to have publicized its kernel source for the mate 8 just recently in the end it depends on the interest of the devs, though, and the overall popularity of the mate 8! im staying optimistic that itll be better than with the mate 7

Don't worry, it works with the Mate 8. You're doing something wrong if it didn't work.
Say we do unlock BL and then root... Than I guess we cannot get OTA updates right? Also does the BL re-lock?

You should still get ota updates if you're unlocked and rooted. Yes you can relock just make sure you fastboot flash or do the dload method to get back to stock before you relock.

Hi to everybody
I'm doing this thread because I've seen that there's a lot of confussion about how to install all this things properly, and I think that concentrating the wide-spread information could help you to get rid of this. First of all I have to thanks @aaawqw and @Moyster for their great efforts.
This is going to be a recopilatory of several sources and personal tips to help you to do this the easiest way. I'm not responsible of bricked phones nor your personal problems.
Please, read the full tutorial before doing anything, to avoid bricks and those things.
PREPARE THE RECIPE
Download these files:
- Unlocking bootloader tool: HERE
- TWRP image from Moyster (creator of LOS14 for our device): here
- If you want to install a modified version of FlymeOS, use this one from Romul35 from 4PDA: here. Original post
- Last LineageOS 14 build: from this thread. PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO THANK THE DEVELOPERS
- GApps: here I recommend the nano option. Choose ARM64 and Android version 6.0.
Put those three last files into your internal memory. If you've got an microSD card, I recommend you to put them into it (it's safer and easier).
UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
To unlock the bootloader go to:
- Kevin.MX @aaawqw) post: here
Finally we have a guide to unlock the bootloader of Meizu m2 note. We need Mediatek SP Flash Tool, MTK phone drivers and the images/bin files for unlocking. No modaco superboot, no fake tutorials any more
Now here's the guide:
1. Download the files I provide
Then unzip it. You'll get a folder with FlashTool, Phone drivers and unlock images.
2.Install drivers for Mediatek platform.
3.Flash the temp-unlock-secro.img via Flashtool. (secro row)
4.Flash secro.img, lk.bin, preloader_meizu6753_65c_l1.bin via Flashtool. (secro, lk and preloader rows respectively)
5.Disconnect USB data cable and power on the phone. If you see the "=>Normal boot" sign(it's quite small.......) in the left bottom cornor of the screen, then the unlock is done. You can now flash things in whatever way you like. The guide is over~~~
The full tutorial is here
The unlock tool is here
Thank you for testing&trying!
If you've seen this spoiler and didn't thank Kevin, please go to here and thank him. This motivates him and gives him the recognisement he deserves.
- Robot Hijau 97 Youtube video: here It isn't in English, but may help if you find any problem or get lost during the unlocking. Leave him a like if it helped you.
This unlocking guide only works for M571 model. If you try this with a M571C (China Telecom) model, you'll get a bricked phone (very useful if you like paperweights )
THIS METHOD DOES WORK FOR M571H MODEL. DON'T WORRY, THE ONLY ONE THAT GIVES SOME ISSUES IS THE M571C.
The great user @aaawqw states "And Meizu M571C should use the same method of meizu m2 (mini), a shell script for frp unlock. But no recovery images yet…Different hardware and partitions"
Tips to unlock the bootloader easily:
- If you're going to do it from a Windows 10 or 8 pc, have in mind that to install unsigned drivers you'll have to unlock the feature in your pc. A guide to do this: here
- Select the images to flash and hit the Download button before connecting your Meizu (pressing Vol Down button). This will help you if it turns on and off and makes the flashing impossible.
- Download the guide or see the video to correctly follow all the steps. You don't want to lose your phone, don't you? Don't try to mix guides, because you may skip a step and brick your phone. The video and Kevin.MX guide are the same procedure, they both are safe.
INSTALLING TWRP
Once done this part, we'll proceed with the installation of TWRP recovery image. There are two ways, choose the easier to you:
- Flash TWRP from SP Flashtool (original idea from @widagdag. The post: here)
+Turn off your device
+ By using your pc or laptop, extract the TWRP zip for meizu m2 note, there's a file "recovery.img"
+ You can flash it via SP flash tool (clicking the recovery, then select the file)... then click Download, wait until finished!! (Check symbol)
+ You can reboot ur device now, unlocked bootloader and installed twrp!
*The profit is u didn't need to root first and install any flash tool such as Rash, FlashFire, Flashify, etc. saving you some time
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Flash the recovery image from Flyme:
+ Get root access (if you do, skip this step). You can get it downloading Kingroot: here. Just install this apk and follow the steps
+ Unzip TWRP zip into a known folder
+ Download Flashify from the Playstore
+ Grant superuser access
+ (Optional) make a backup of your current recovery going to backup tab
+ Tap Recovery Image
+ Choose a file
+ Find TWRP img that you unzipped before and flash it

INSTALLING CM AND GAPPS
We're close to the end of this post. The final step: installing your desired ROM and GApps. I will flash CM from the thread whose link is at the download section.
I hope you've put it into your memory (internal/external) as we said
Ok so:
- Turn off your phone
- Go into the TWRP recovery (Vol up+power)
- (Optional but recommended) Make a backup of Flyme, just in case you don't like the new ROM and would like to go back to Flyme. If it takes up too much memory, move it to your pc after making the backup.
- Go to Wipe menu
- Go to advanced wipe
- Select these:
+ System
+ Cache
+ Dalvik Cache
+ Data
- Swipe to do the wipe
- Go to install.
- Select your zip image (in my case the cm13 I downloaded).
- Install also the GApps zip file you downloaded
- Restart to System, and check what you've done.
Some final tips:
- Make the backup, seriously, it takes 10 min and you'll have a Flyme backup if you don't like CM.
- If you want to transfer all your apps and their data from Flyme to your new ROM, use Titanium Backup.
- If you want to install Xposed Framework, it's the same procedure: enter into TWRP, tap install, select the zip and swipe.
- This won't delete your images or videos, but I would recommend to transfer them to a microSD card or your PC.
- Yes, you need to do all this to install a custom ROM. Yes, even unlocking the bootloader. Don't try to skip a step if you aren't sure about what you're doing.
I think that's all, I'll update this post if I lost anything.
I hope this helped you to move into CM world. If you have any doubt don't hesitate to ask.
I know this seems exhausting, but trust me, it worths it. Welcome to the custom ROMs world in your Meizu M2 Note. Let the magic begin.
ADDITIONAL GUIDES
RELOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
If you want to relock the bootloader just follow this simple steps:
Flash the original recovery image from Flashtool of from Flashify (the steps are the same as installing TWRP). You can find this image here
From there, install an update.zip (download them from the official flyme web: here and put it into the storage )
Now you have flyme again with a locked bootloader.
INSTALLING FLYME WITH TWRP
It's very important that you don't install an update.zip from the original Flyme page, because you will cause a bootloop. To get the flyme updates, you can follow one of these two methods:
METHOD 1: 4PDA
-Download the modified zips from 4PDA: here]. Translate it to English. It's on custom firmware>Flyme
-Flash them from TWRP
METHOD 2: DO IT YOURSELF
-Download the update.zip file from the Flyme page
-Open it and remove the preloader- files
-Flash it from TWRP. It will give you an error: IGNORE IT.
Reboot and done, you've got Flyme and TWRP.
UNBRICK A PAPERWEIGHT
BIG THANKS TO @numpea FOR THIS:
This just a firmware that has all the partitions and can be used to unbrick to device using SPFlashtool
Here is the link:
FIRMWARE
- Flash temp_unlock_secro.img with sp flashtool like you do when unlocking the bootloader.
- When done, disconnect the device and add the firmware to sp flashtool. You need to select "format all+download", click on "Download" and connect the device. The flashing process will start. After it finishes, the device will start again.
You wil notice that you lost your imei number you can add it back by:
Using MTK Engineering Mode (does not requires root)
Open engineering mode » Click on Engineer Mode (MTK) » Swipe left to Connectivity » click on CDS Information » Radio Information
Click on phone 1 if you want to change your sim 1 or choose Phone 2 to change sim 2 IMEI, follow this guide:
For Phone 1: “AT+ EGMR=1,7,â€YOUR NEW IMEI NO†(make sure you add a space in between AT+ & EGMR)
For Phone 2: “AT+ EGMR=1,10,â€YOUR NEW IMEI NO†(make sure you add a space in between AT+ & EGMR)
Using Chamelephon (requires root, but much more easier)
Just copy the IMEIS from the phone's box and put them into the app.
hope this is helpful

Great work lol
Another thing is…ShevT's recovery has no problem in cache partition.Only my broken recovery did… So remove the cache fixing partAny problem just send me a private message. I'll check when i have time.

And Meizu M571C should use the same method of meizu m2 (mini), a shell script for frp unlock. But no recovery images yet…Different hardware and partitions…
Another thing is, Kingroot is not suggested. It cannot be detected by Flashfire and some other tools. And cannot be replaced by SuperSU. So Kingo Root+SuperSU might be better.

See it. I'll give a try on m2 note(M571C, China Telecom). At least try to build twrp But seems my pc's hdd is not enough No space for source code
little problems.
bootloader unlocking and twrp and roms works very well..
1. OTG is working for me.. :good:
2. unfortunately my phone is not detected by PC..
(show USB is not connected, USB debugging is not accessible..)
3. little bit lag here and there..
4. wifi works well :good:
Need more optimization.. Expecting lot more from you
thankyou very much for this :good:
DOUBT : so bootloader is unlocked, now it is possible to make good MM and N based CM roms ?

Check the store page you bought it from. If you bought it from China, then probably it's a M571C. Good luck
Okay guys first let me tell you why I have created a new thread just for updating the BL and Firmware ,
I know we already have methods of updating like:
1. flashing the full OOS3 zip through stock recovery ,this method is quite simple for the ones who are on stock recovery and just want to update their OOS version.If you fall in this category then you have no purpose here,you may leave.
2. Is method provided by our fav helping hand @Joshwin Aranha ,that method is sure for the rest of us who dont fall in the above category,but is way too long,although simple and effective still "long".
I created this thread to help the CM13(Official or Sultan's)//any custom rom using new BL,users who want to update their BL without flashing the OOS through the tedious way just to update BL and users who are stuck on bootlogo due to old BL with roms using new BL.
Here I will guide you through the required steps to update our bootloader "In easiest and fastest way without wiping and restoring anything".
So what are we waiting for ,lets start .
Prerequisites
you will need two files for this process,nothing else.
1 . First one is BLUpdater zip --->Here.
2. Second is TWRP compiled from latest sources use either This or the one from Here<--use v41 or use Sultan's from Here OR if you are Martin's fan like me and want to use his MutiRom TWRP goHere.
PS:I am assuming you have Unlocked Bootloader and have either
official/blu_spark/sultan's/ Multirom TWRP installed,in a working condition on OOS2.x BL(if not what are you doing here).
Note: make sure oem unlocking is checked in developer options in your current rom,else updating the BL may cause it to get locked ,and you will have to unlock it again and flash the recovery manually through fastboot itself.
Now the steps
1.First copy both of the above files in your sdcard or otg or ext-sdcard,any place accessible in recovery.
2. Now boot into recovery Choose Install and choose the "OPXBLUpdateOOS3.1" zip and flash it.
3. Don't reboot now ,go to Install again ,this time use "Install Image" button in lower right corner,navigate to folder where you copied the new TWRP,you should be able to see the file,select it ,choose recovery in the next menu and flash.
NOTE:If you chose to use Sultan's recovery.zip then just flash it normally.
4. Don't reboot come back to TWRP home ,goto reboot and recovery ,if TWRP says no OS installed ignore it.
Now voila you should have updated your firmware/BL.Congrats.
You can now install any rom that supports the new BL.Older roms won't boot on the new MM BL.So check the rom thread before installing the rom and later on quacking here about your device being stuck at bootlogo.
Notes
i)Neither I nor XDA will be responsible if your OPX bricks or explodes or ditches you and flies to space.
ii)We are not touching system partition so last installed ROM will be intact.
iii)This guide will leave you into bootable rom only if you have a rom installed that works on latest firmware.
iv)This can also be used to restore all your OPX partitions back to OOS3.x partition state,if you messed any.
v)In case you are using latest nightly (cm13) and face bootloop - go Here
psst:If you are not diggin the new BL,and wanna downgrade again ,back to old BL,check this post.
PS: (second one,I know) This guide was made by taking inspiration from Joshwin's post and devtry method.
Also click Thanks if I helped you

So I created this thread just to shorten the process provided by Joshwin.I also created this thread to help the official CM13 users who have problem with latest nightlies due to new bootloader or are stuck in bootlogo.

Will work with any twrp,no requirement of official one.
Thanks, bro. One more doubt. I'm currently on DU rom with custom kernel... Do you think rom will boot after this..?

No it wont,right now almost all the custom roms need to update to support new firmware.Only latest cm13 nightlies are booting now,also aosp compiled by olddroid for new BL(shh its only for testers right now)
also maybe the MIUI8 port ,just posted in the forums.
I'm a litte bit confused.
Currently I'm on nighty October 1st. (cm-13.0-20161001-NIGHTLY-onyx.zip)
Can i update the Bootloader with your method and after that booting up my current nightly version?
Or do I have to update after the bootloader update to nightly version 12 (the currently latest)?

no update the BL using the steps above ,then flash the latest nightly.That way it would be good.
Or you can flash nightly first then update BL.Choice is yours.I recommend updating the BL first.
I followed your guide with a locked bootloader, and now I'm in bootloops . Just suggest you put a big red "make sure your bootloader is unlocked" in the steps, not in the footnote.

Reboot into fastboot mode and
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
And using a custom recovery and custom rom makes me assume one have unlocked bootloader

Thanks! I actually relocked my bootloader not long after installed cm13, and disabled "unlock oem" in "developer settings"(I don't know why I did this). So both system and rec is inaccessible, and fastboot is useless in this case. Fortunately I followed the unbrick guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3272108 and get the old bootloader back. Now I could enter CM13-09-28 with all my data intact.
Just hope to let people know the hard lesson I learned, and how to deal the bootloops.
And guys, NEVER RELOCK BOOTLOADER AGAIN!

taking you wanna flash ashwins cm14 right. You just wanna follow the instructions in first post and then flash the cm14.No need to install the whole Oos zip.
This way you should have updated BL and working cm14.
Just flash the cm14 after booting into new TWRP
I've just followed the procedure from OP and all went smooth as butter. Thanks
Directly after that (without reboot) I've installed the latest CM13 (with GApps) and Arsenic R24. Working as a charm
