[Guide] Flash OTAs with TWRP (OS 2.1.3/ 005)

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)

Are you rooted? Did you flash TWRP recovery?

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 ?

Thanks, i wasn't sure it was the full rom because of the "ota" in the name.

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

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?

Extract the recovery.img from the zip file and flash it from fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

my fault, I downloaded the stock recovery from a nother post

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?

After wipe no OS installed :(

I wiped my Device and now i stuck on ( your Device has been unlocked and cant be trusted)
So no OS no Start. To my question. So i habe to download the newest Firmware copy to sd Card
The in twrp to recover and choose the the update zip ?

I don't know, but this is exactly what I will do in your place.

Ok thx so thats right? So i can Flash? In twrp then to recover?

Method with newest Firmware copy to sd Card work with stock recovery.... (update.app in zip is needed)
For twrp is needed a zip with one file something like <Android Info.txt>...

Hmm so i cant Flash if i download Firmware then copy the update.app to sd Card then in twrp recover to Flash?

Use this tool ([DEV] VNS-L21-L22-L31 [EUROPE] Toolkit [0.0.0.8] Bootloader/Recovery/Root/Dual-Sim) to flash first stock recovery.
After that do what you say. I repeat: method to create a folder <dload> on SD-card and put in unzipped update.zip works only with stock recovery.
With twrp it will ask for a file Android Info.txt, something like> Error.... No Android Info.txt!

I just copied Update.zip to sdcard and Installed via twrp and now it's working so can i now just root my device again via twrp ?

Yes, root it via twrp.

when i root my device. i install gltools then when i start it, its crash.
then im again in bootloop. why is this happen ?

I did it 2 times, with no problem ; into TWRP there is a menu "advanced" I think, and you can find a "button" root, just click.

Extract the boot.img from the original update.app and flash it in TWRP selecting Flash Image

How to update firmware if you've already flashed TWRP

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!

You need to upgrade to latest N - ...14.2020.1712.85, once you do that you should get Oreo as FOTA after reboot

Thanks, man.
Can I manually update with the recovery by downloading the rom?
I think, the FOTA won't arrive as I've rooted my phone.

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

Thanks! I ended up having to use the 11.41.87.2 recovery in order to flash a Nougat update - it wouldn't work with the older recoveries.

You can find TWRP in Mi A1 xda forum but the sad news is you can't get permanent TWRP in latest Stock Pie Rom. I just had the permanent TWRP in 1.0.8.0 Stock rom by flashing eXtreme Kernel then flash Cosmic Dan's TWRP Zip Installer otherwise i tried many times but never get permanent TWRP. You can also use official TWRP Zip installer from TWRP's official site

1- Boot from patched boot image (ex: fastboot boot patched_boot.img).
2- Install Magisk Manager app.
3- Open it and Select install then direct install.
4- Reboot.
If you want to unroot then select complete uninstall from magisk manager.
