3. Rashr an andrid application to flash custom recovery and kernels [Credit DsLNeXuS]
https://github.com/DsLNeXuS/Rashr/blob/master/Rashr.apk?raw=true
After you have all the files on your pc or phone you need to extract the custom rom on your pc do not use winrar just use windows inbuild unzipper and extract all the files...
Then Install CWM with RASHR
After that Create these folders in your phone clockworkmod/backup/1970-02-28.02.08.01
and put all the extracted files in that folder after that in cwm restore the backup..
Reply back if you guys have any questions..
PS : i will try to make things more clear by adding images when i get some free time.. enjoy guys..

hey man did u get it fixed ...
Firstly, you cannot install OTA's with TWRP. You'll have to get back to stock recovery in order to install patches.
Thanks to @eng.stk, with the recovery compiled from source, we now can flash OTA Zips from TWRP.
Download TWRP 2.8.7.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=15364
Download the following OTA's and move them to internal/external storage and proceed to install them from TWRP.
OxygenOS_X_Rom.zip (003)
OTA Patch 003-004.zip
OTA Patch 004-005.zip (Uploaded by @Razertje)

Stock Recovery (Just in case if someone requires it)

It's most likely that you tampered the system and recovery partition. I uploaded the stock recovery here, flash the stock recovery, then flash to system dump, then this patch.
Well, i did a nandroid backup before getting rooted, i tried to restore my phone so i could properly do the ota, but now there is no OS installed
But my computer still detect my phone, where can i download the full rom please ?

By flashing the system dump I meant, install this zip package http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/ota003all20151024193-oxygenos-ota-dump-t3244996. This zip package is stock system dump bearing version 03. Then flash to 03-04 patch.
is this OTA solved the problem with microsd cards?
Can anybody help with a generic error trying to flash the stock recovery again?
No reason why just says failed. I am rooted with TWRP and trying to revert to stock to be able to OTA. Last android was a nexus 4 and been away a little while so I may be missing something.. I don't want to have to wipe all my data and such can somebody assist and refresh my understanding?
Dizzyrul3z: No, microSD card issue remains according to official forum--next OTA I bet.
I'm rooted, TWRP also errored when I attempted the OTA installed.
So to clarify, using TWRP I want to install three zips: stock rom, OTA03 (system dump), and OTA04 (update), wipe cache/dalvik. Correct?
Question: I install them all at once in TWRP, right? Will any of this erase my apps/data?
Thanks,

You need to flash to Stock recovery as well. I'll be updating the OP.
So this update is newer than the one mentioned here right ? : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oxygenos-2-1-2-will-start-roll-out-to-oneplus-x-today.402637/
Thanks

Just received this OTA mins ago.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3AIip-hiOnNb1pBeGNlcUIyYmc/view?usp=sharing
Instructions:
1. Switch to Stock Recovery if you're running TWRP. But how to do it? Restore this backup from TWRP.
2. Flash the system dump available at this thread.
3. Now flash this update/patch.
4. Then fastboot flash TWRP recovery if you only need it.
Just my 2 cents, boot TWRP instead of flashing it. I personally suggest.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp_directory_of_your_pc.img
PSA: You'll need Stock recovery to patch official updates.
PS: My Memory Card is working exceptionally fine. I am using a Samsung EVO+ 32GB.

I can't restore the stock recovery.
in TWRP:
error flashing zip '/sdcard/*/oneplusx_x_stock_recovery.zip'
I also copied the zip into the TWRP backup folder, but can't select it to restore.
TWRP ist v.2.8.7.0
What am I doing wrong?
...rebooting the device from TWRP is also not working, anybody with the same problem?

Thank you for the update OP.
To clarify, when you say '...stick with stock recovery, disable the apps instead of deleting them...' what exactly does that mean?
I just saw a nuew update of 89.9 MB in the notifications... Since I am on 5.0.2 rooted TWRP recovery... I am not able to install it...
Should I just relock the bootloader and flash the stock recovery and try it... Or is there are other way.. I am asking this before doing it so that I dont get into any trouble.
Hello., first restore unrooted and untoched twrp backup of lolipop and then flash the stock recovery with the fastboot usb mode.. then diwnload and install update ...
No need to relock bootloader..

Ur apps gone by perform factory reset not recovery flash....
Because in the update calc..,flashlight..etc apps not a system app if you want to install those apps then extracted the ota file by using winrar and found the apps in data/app folder and install it manually...

But this issue of home screen resetting after downloading anything from playstore... How to resolve this?
I arrange home screen icons and widgets... And when I download anything from playstore.. Everything from my home screen is gone... Then again I always need to arrange them..
Perform a data wipe in twrp recovey in wipe section
There type yes and press go...
Or
Flash stock recovery and then perform a factory resset...
Hi what you mean by "unrooted and untoched twrp backup of lolipop" ..
Appreciate if can explain , i am facing same issue
I figured out how to update after flashing twrp. Maybe obvious to some but I've seen questions about it.
The zip in the "Convert CA to WW" thread has the stock rom in a zip file. Open it and inside is a recovery.img file in it, extract it to your adb folder on your PC.
Download the firmware update from ASUS official site and save to the root of your sd card or internal storage (it will recognize both.)
Reboot into fastboot on your device.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
When that finishes reboot and your phone should find the update and ask if you want to install. Do so. You may need to power cycle first.
When you're done you can reflash TWRP.
Once you have TWRP you can flash Magisk or SuperSU as you see fit.
It's painless.
An old post from you, but thank you. This was really easy. I've spent 2 days trying to figure out how to upgrade without restore stock rom, boot etc. and lose all data. I was about to give up when I saw this post, I didn't expect it to work - to easy. But I could give it a try.
This was painless.
Then it took me 3 hours to figure out how to reinstall twrp again, it wasn't just to flash and reboot I had to boot directly into recovery after flash. But that is another story.
Thanks, you just saved me some time!

When you flash stock recovery and update you unroot, so you will get FOTA. Just update to Oreo and then flash twrp and Magisk (or whatever you use) again.
I am rooted and updated to Oreo then chose updates involving battery improvement and/or system stability (downloaded to external sd), after installed the last update I flashed twrp and rooted again.
You need to flash stock recovery before update. The phone will find the updated with custom recovery but update will fail.
The site I downloaded stock recovery from is down so you have to search for it, or download RAW stock rom and extract the recovery from it
