The recovery did not overwrite.

Hello everyone, I bought a week the OnePlus 2 from the official website, I would like to install the CM13, I tried in every way to flash the recovery mode, but nothing happens, I unlocked the bootloader, tells me the overwrite process He has been successful, but the recovery is always that of the parent. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thank you

Then main thing is that you can't boot OOS or hydrogenos after installing TWRP, or else they will replace the recovery back to stock.

You can use OOS after flashing TWRP (Hybrid TWRP).

Please read the guide in the official CM13 thread, this has been answered to many times already.

[Guide] Safely unlock bootloader on official MM

UPDATE: This is now unneeded because threr is a faster way ro unlock bootloader on official MM here, he updated for official MM
Hi, I discovered an unlock method for official MM!! This maybe long but's it totally safe
You need:
Adb and fastboot environment ready PC
LP RAW File
Android 6.0 Beta Unlock tool
Android 5.0 One-Click Unlock tool
First version of beta MM (Z00A) (Z008)
Official MM zip (find it on Asus site)
Thanks to all people upload these links
Just do the following:
Flash the lastest LP via AFT (using raw file given above), wipe all data. If you already on MM, you have to downgrade
Unlock your bootloader using 1 click tool given above
Boot to stock recovery and sideload the first version of beta MM
Unlock the bootloader using MM beta unlock tool above
Boot to stock recovery
Two case here:
Case 1: You can't boot stock recovery
Normally boot your phone (to Android)
Setup it as a new phone
If it shows there is a new firmware, don't update!!!
Enable Developer options, then enable usb debugging
Copy the official MM zip to external sd card
Open command prompt, run adb reboot recovery, accept the adb permission if prompted
After it boots to recovery, select Apply update from SD, then choose the zip file you've copied before
Wait for it to update, it may stuck at flashing splashcreen, don't worry, it's trolling you, may be Asus forgot to update the script
Goto step 7
Case 2: You can boot stock recovery
Sideload the official MM zip (adb sideload <filename>.zip)
Goto step 7
7. Flash this TWRP (fastboot flash recovery <twrp>.img)
8. Root your phone using this method
9. Reboot, if it shows "Your phone has failed verification bla bla..", then you've success. It may reset loop like note 7 in the first time start, don't worry.
9. Enjoy :highfive:
Note: If you're facing with battery problems on MM, factory reset it in Settings > Backup and Reset > Factory Reset > Erase everything
Successfully on my ZE550ML
The warning screen is normal so don't worry and there is no way to fix it for now

Yes, BL will be relocked once you upgrade to MM.
If you want to unlock MM BL(6.0), refer to this thread.
Or you can downgrade to Lollipop referring to this thread. Then your BL(5.0) is unlocked.

Upgrade to MM
Hello folks!
2 week before MM was released i'ved opted to unlock my ZE551ML BL and therefore install twrp and a MM custom ROM..
so here´s the thing i stayed with the ROM for about 3 weeks and honestly..it works very well..but when i knew that 6.0 official was coming out i decided to go back to stock..i did it following manny tuturials avaliable for me to get my BL Re-Locked..but unsuccessfully..so i followed mr_gourav2000 tuturial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/stock-rom-ul-z00a-ww-2-20-40-168-t3354526) and reverted to the WW_Z00A-2.20.40.183-to-2.20.40.184 (hopefully i can get the sshot in this post) version...since my BL is unlocked i can´t get no updates..my question is:
Is there anyway to go to MM 6.0 by ASUS with the current status of my phone?
is there anything i can do to revert this??

Just download the update package and rename it to mofd_sdupdate.zip, copy it to internal storage. Then reboot to stock recovery, the update will automatically start. This should work if you have lastest stock recovery

Have you downloaded the correct build? There are build for MM bootloader, if you flash the normal builds, it will fail and reboot to recovery again. Gapps is the same for all builds
After you install that special build, do not update to newer nightlies, it will fail. For updates, check the link i give you and see if there is a new MMBL build.
About that, here is the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68542370&postcount=8551

Run the script again (i gave you in above post). Download the CM13 in that link, not in the OP of CM13 thread. Flash that CM13 and Gapps (Gapps is universal for MMBL and LPBL).
May be you have corrupt download, I'm currently running CM13 on MMBL

[GUIDE] Install Official Marshmallow Update Oxygen OS 3.1.3

OnePlus Team has finally rolled out long-awaited Marshmallow Update. This time, it isn't community build or beta, it is a STABLE update!
This post will guide you to upgrade from 2.2.2 to 3.1.2 for both non-rooted and rooted users.
Disclaimer:
Code:
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
For non-rooted, unmodified system users (who haven't tinkered anything with the device's software):
1a. You must have received a notification to update to OOS 2.2.3
Download it, and hit reboot now! This will automatically install the update which will prepare your device to install MM update.
1b. If you haven't received the update notification for 2.2.3 then download it manually from here - https://goo.gl/NkZm2I
Place it in the root directory of Internal Storage (not inside any folder, just directly on Internal storage) and then enter recovery mode by turning off your phone and then pressing Power button + volume down button at the same time. Once you get into recovery, select Install from Internal Storage and the select your file and flash it!
Congratulations, now you are on OOS 2.2.3!
Download MM OOS 3.1.2 from here - http://s3.amazonaws.com/oxygenos.on...OTA_017_all_201609231354_e675a52db5a044e7.zip
and place it on your SD card again, like above, go to recovery and flash the file!
You are now on Official Oxygen OS 3.1.2 MM Update!
For rooted users, who have modified system:
1. Download the zip http://s3.amazonaws.com/oxygenos.on...OTA_017_all_201609231354_e675a52db5a044e7.zip and place it on your SD Card or Internal Storage
2. Go to your recovery (TWRP is preferred)
3. Wipe System, Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache
4. Select Install and navigate to your file location, select your file and flash it!
5. Flash https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4K5cvm1zdldcmZpc3RuVnRjUUE/view to get root access!
6. Reboot! Enjoy your MM Update!
(Optional) These are steps I followed for a safer install:
1. Took the whole backup of 2.2.2 from official TWRP
2. Flashed Whole 2.2.2 zip from here - http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-x/oneplus_x_oxygenos_2.2.2/ which I had already downloaded
3. Flashed Stock Lollipop recovery
4. Unrooted my phone
5. Locked and unlocked my bootloader (don't know why I was getting locked bootloader error while flashing blu-spark twrp so did it)
6. Unrooted my phone
7. Flashed 3.1.2 zip from stock lollipop recovery
8. Flashed blu-spark TWRP using fastboot
9. Flashed modified SuperSU
10. Restored just data partition from my 2.2.2 backup and wiped cached.
This way is long and tedious but ensures you get the data, which was important for me.
Edit: Above process can be applied to install Oxygen OS 3.1.3 (link below) Directly! Hope you have a pleasant experience on Marshmallow, cause I'm definitely loving it
Feel free to ask any queries!

[Guide][How to]Update Bootloader/Firmware to OOS3/H2OS2 w/o installing OOS/H2OS

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.

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.

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

flashing roms with 4.4.x kernel without qpst

If you afraid to flash qpst rom, here a method which will update your baseband/bootloader without qpst tool.
1) flash vendor to factory ( if you already flashed factory to vendor )
2) flash zui 3.5.389 full ota which has firmware included ( not the deodexed one by hendibudi )
Link :https://drive.google.com/file/d/1knkZxUyLNZO7uS8u_CK7j4j5-UqqGs5l/view (don't reboot
3) flash hendibudi's twrp for zui and reboot to rom
( The step 2 will lock your bootloader/ update your firmware/ bootloader. So we need to unlock bootloader again. To avoid wiping of internal storage we use twrp recovery which will only wipe /data
4)unlock your bootloader by following this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/how-to/how-bootloader-zuk-z2-pro-t3415392
( You can use your old unlock image )
5) clean flash any nontreble rom( needed)
Reboot to rom.
6)Reboot to recovery, flash factory to vendor zip.
( Don't reboot )
7) install latest twrp from twrpbuilder.org for our device ( install--image -- select -- recovery-swipe to flash )
8) reboot to recovery
9) clean flash your fav 4.4. kernel ROMs.
Note:
I am not tested new twrp by twrpbuilder.org instead of hendibudi twrp at step 3.
If it doesn't encrypt internal storage, there is no need of step 5&7
I followed this and worked. Don't miss any steps

I've Lost my unclocked bootloader file. There is a way to extract It from my Zuk? Thanks?

You can request unlock .img again

The way I got it working was by
1. Flashing deodexed TWRP flashable ZUI 4.0.233 rom and then set it up along with magisk.
2. Flashed factory2vendor.zip
3. Flashed TWRP by z2_plus_treble-TWRP-3.2.2_kubersharma_v2.img available in his thread.
4. Clean Flashed AEX 5.8
5. After setup again in TWRP clean flashed a Beta version of AEX v6.0
6. Again after that clean flashed the Official version of AEX v6.0.
You can skip step 4 & 5. I followed those steps to avoid any Blue Screen issue recently reported by some users. I didn't face any Bootloader problem.
*Remember to use Kubersharma TWRP in step 3. I don't know why, but Treble TWRP compiled by Davide is not reading internal storage when flashed after ZUI deodexed.
*And I am not responsible for anything that happens during your adventures.

Didn't you every flashed a 3.1+ zui via qpst before?
Because as far as i know the deodexed zui 4.0. 233 doesn't updates the bootloader

I never needed to. And AEX 6.0 run pretty much smooth without blue screen issue. I just followed the above mentioned procedures.

First of all, kudos for the great job! I'm anxious to test it.
But please forgive my stupidity.
Which hendibudi TWRP build you mean? I could only find a 3.2.1 but I'm not sure it can handle Treble.

Yes it doest support treble partition. But we need that twtp to avoid internal storage encryption problem.
So we can flash any non treble ROM, reboot yo ROM, reboot to recovery , flash factory to vendor zip, flash latest treble twrp, reboot to twrp then flash 4.4 ROMs.
My entire point is flashing vendor to factory and and full ota 3.5.389 zip will update bootloader, firmware ( it will work just as qfil flash )
My guide can be followed if someone having trouble with qfil . ( tested by at least 2 people )
Other steps are just to avoid encryption and internal storage wipe problems that may come after flash.
Hope it'll remove doubts

Thanks for your kindness!
Alright then, I'm next on line to test! I'll just backup (it sucks...) then I'll flash!

Out of luck, flashing via Mi Tool now...

Blue screen. I'm stuck on Qfil too, it also resulted in blue screen. Starting from scratch.

There is baseband zip file of 3.5 zui (in guides and discussion section) you can flash that if you don't want to go through the long process of Qfil, I flash that zip and i am able to use 4.4 kernels
This will not lock your bootloader and can be flashed by official TWRP

Yes, that's the reason I tried this in the first place, but it didn't work for me.
Qfil did work, and I'm now on Bootleggers.

Bro,if u had used your email address try checking in your inbox again for image, just search bootloader .

I've changed my mail with a Gmail one and it work. Now I've my unl files

flash vendor to factory ( if you already flashed factory to vendor ) "
explain this line

In these forums there was a file for updating baseband to 1.70. I flashed it promptly and my phone also went into soft brick. Because accidentally my bootloader got locked and got revised also. By using certain key combinations I succeeded in again unlocking my bootloader without formatting my inner storage . now I am able to flash 4.4 ROMs. Without going through all the hassles of backup, formatting and again flashing twrp.

Your guide didn't work for me (but step 2 using your file didn't lock my bootloader). It would be nice if you gave direct link to items in your steps (for i.e factory to vendor.zip, twrp...). I guess I'll try using qfil unless someone has some tips... BTW I can't find a good qfil guide for 4.4 kernel roms, could anyone give me a link to a helpful thread for it if I can't get it working using this method?
