[GUIDE] How to get CM 14.1 working.

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

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!!

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.

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 :

TWRP 3.1.1 on oxygenos2

Hi i was about to update my phone and setting it to factory in order to update it to Oxygenos last version since i still using oxygen2 (andoid 5) etc...
I was about to do a twrp backup however i do no thave enought space so i've read on internet that with twrp 3.1+ you can backup directly on pc. I've tryed to update twrp however its not working and not starting the recovery partition. I've read that : (3.0.2-1 and above for OxygenOS 3.x and above) (3.0.2-0 and below for OxygenOS 2.x and below) however i need the updated version to backup directly on pc what can i do? some advice? i've looked for a modified version of twrp 3.1 for oxygenos2 but i did not find it :S

Before you do this, update TWRP via these instructions
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/oneplus2/install
skip down to this line "Installing a custom recovery using fastboot" as you do not need to unlock the bootloader as it is already unlocked since you have TWRP already.
Do not make a TWRP backup, It will not be of any use once you move to OxygenOS 3.6.1 since the backup will be of Nouget (android 5). The best way to upgrade would be to follow the steps here http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-2/oneplus_2_oxygenos_3.6.1/
Once you get to step 4, click the "View Instructions for TWRP Recovery" link then you can either dirty flash or clean flash the zip. I would recommend clean flashing, as in do the factory reset as mentioned in the second paragraph under step 4. However, do not directly flash the rom afterward, use the reboot option in TWRP to reboot into recovery then flash the zip.
NOTE: If you want to use Magisk to pass SafetyNet and have root, download the Magisk zip and flash after flashing the rom, or queue it to it flashes right after the OOS rom.
afterward let the phone boot up then do the setup. Once you have completed setup, enable developer settings and enable advanced reboot. use reboot into recovery to boot into TWRP
Now go ahead and make a TWRP Backup, This backup will be your Go-To backup if you want to go back to factory OOS 3.6.1 with the setup completed and Magisk already installed.

Not able to backup
The problem is that the last version of TWRP working on oxygenos2 is 3.0.2-1 and you can not make the backup directly on computer, i've traied toupdate twrp and it does not lounch however with that version of twrp (3.0.2) or before it works that was the point if there was any modified twrp for oxygenos2 and with twrp version 3.1 or higher.

TWRP v3.x.x doesn't work with oxygen 2.
There's no way to boot TWRP v3 without installing oxygen 3.
If you need to backup your files (pictures, videos, WhatsApp messages etc.) you don't need TWRP because it backups only your system and your apps.
So simply attach your phone to your PC and copy all your files.
If you need a copy of your system then you need to free some space on your phone and do a backup with TWRP v2

Back from Beta (offical beta1) to stable (HELP)

Hi want go back from Beta to stable but currently its not poosible.
I tried to flash the stable zip file in stock recovery but this wont work, installation aborted after 1-2 seconds with no success. Also sideloading aborted after 47%.
Can anybody help me, are there factory images for flashing to stable stock?
Thanks

flash twrp recovery (via fastboot) and install stable zip through twrp recovery.

I presume you've backed up your files from storage because moving between major releases requires a full wipe;
Do a "Fastboot -w" to completely wipe the userdata folder
Install TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" (or whichever filename it has)
Reboot the phone into TWRP while connected to your computer
The phone should appear as a drive on the computer, if not go into TWRP and mount folder and make sure data is ticked
Copy over the 4.5.14 release
Try installing that with TWRP which should, in the process, replace the recovery with the official one
See how you get on

You have got to use the specific roll-back image. You can find it at the ob1 announcement forum post

flashing firmware zip fails every time

I am currently using a OnePlus 5 which used to run on a stock based rom, xxxNoLimits v3.1
Since the dev ended the support I wanted to revert back to pure OOS, so I downlaoded the newest 5.1.5 zip and followed the instructions using the newest blu_spark twrp recovery but right after pressing the "flash" button I kept getting error 7, so I download the zip from a mirror link and I have also tried the newest version of codeworkx twrp, still error 7. Then I tried flashing the original stock recovery in order to flash the zip but it instantly threw me back to the zip selection menu, flashing the zip via adb sideload kept quitting at exactly 47%. At this point I was pretty frustrated, I flashed twrp codeworkx again and wiped EVERYTHING, which includes the system, data, cache, dalvik partitions and then I also did a format on the data partition, the point was that now I would have a clean phone only running twrp and I thought I could easily flash the newest zip now without any problems, NOPE, still error 7!!! Now I am stuck here, the stock recovery doesnt let me flash anything and I've tried 4 different versions of twrp recoverys and every single one gives me the same error, I even dug up an older version of OOS, I think it which I had running for a few weeks without any probles so I knew that the zip was not corrupted but same error
Now I had given up and wanted to restore the backup I did just in case anything goes wrong, well, restoring the backup fails when it tries to restore the data partition, so I unchecked everything except system, system image and recovery but it didnt work, now I am sitting here with my phone telling me that there's no OS installed. any advice?

Use Unbrick Tool and Restore
Hey,
You can Flash your Mobile using the Unbrick tool at - https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=204903
Use the Latest file which I guess comes with OOS 5.1.3 - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962339331458999196
If you try to Go to Open Beta ROM First Flash Open Beta 12--> Open Beta 13 --> Open Beta 17

Hi ! Do you have some news about it ? I have the same issue since Monday...
I've tried like anything i've found and even more, but nothing did the job ...
The only way to have my OP5 working is downgrade to an old version running Android 7.1.1

After first boot /data mount is gone in TWRP

I've got a SM-G950F, and succesfully flashed TWRP on it.
Wiped /data, after that i flashed dm-verity and force encryption disabler, everything was ok until the first boot into the system.
It booted up, and immediately after that i turned off the phone and booted into TWRP, and for some reason it couldnt mount /data again.
The tutorial i have followed:
Thanks for the tutorial to: jesec
Part 1 - HOW-TO FLASH TWRP:
1. In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
2. Go to Settings -> Developer options and enable OEM Unlock option.
3. Download and Install Samsung Mobile Phones Drivers.
- Option 1: Download and Install Smart Switch for PC.
- Option 2: Download and Install standalone driver package.
4. Download and extract Odin (Samsung's Flash Tool) to your computer.
5. Download a .tar image of TWRP.
6. Reboot your device to download mode.
- Hold [VOLUME DOWN] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] for approx. 15 seconds.
- Read the warning carefully.
- If you agree, press [VOLUME UP] to get into Download mode. If you don't agree, STOP.
7. Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot.
8. Connect your phone.
9. Hold [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] on your phone and then press start on Odin.
10. Wait for the phone to reboot. DO NOT release [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] or you may not reboot into TWRP.
Part 2 - HOW-TO INITIALIZE TWRP: (for new phones)
1. If you completed Part 1 successfully, you should be in TWRP now. At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
2. Select "Keep /system RO". (Don't swipe right or you may not be able to boot into system if you failed to complete next steps. However, you can swipe right to allow modifications if you are confident that you can complete next steps.)
3. Go to "Wipe" menu of TWRP and you will find "Format Data". Press "Format Data" and type "yes" to continue.
4. Go to "Reboot" menu and Press "Recovery" to reboot TWRP.
5. Download the latest dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip on your computer.
6. Transfer the zip to your phone.
- Option 1: MTP: Connect your phone with computer and just copy the zip to internal storage. (similar to how you transfer files when in system.)
- Option 2: ADB: Connect your phone with computer and run command "adb push /path/to/zip /sdcard/".
- Option 3: External SD: Copy the zip to an external SD and then insert the card to your phone.
7. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
TWRP is initialized and fully functional at this stage. Now you can either reboot into system or root, flash custom ROMs via TWRP.
Part 3 - HOW-TO ROOT:
1. Download the flashable zip.
- Option 1: Magisk
- Option 2: SuperSU (untested)
2. Transfer the zip to your phone.
3. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
Part 3a - HOW-TO FLASH CUSTOM ROMS:
1. Download the flashable zip.
2. Transfer the zip to your phone.
3. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
Simple.

Before the 1st boot i even rooted the device, that remained after the first boot, but no /data mount.
After the 5th try, i gave up.
What could be the problem, or is this normal on this phone?

Are you using latest twrp version 3.2.3.2

I'm using 3.2.1.0

kristof889 said:

Use latest twrp 3.2.3.2 should have data mount and quota issues fixed.
You can flash the .Img file through twrp or flash the .img.tar file with Odin.
After flashing reboot straight into twrp and repeat part 2 of the guide you quoted.
I would be interested to know also if in download mode if you have a line in there saying rmm state?
Twrp for s8 exynos
https://dl.twrp.me/dreamlte/

Installed the 3.2.3.2 version, but nothing has changed. after the first boot into system, TWRP says cant mount /data..
I dont have anything like rmm state in download mode.

I am assuming you followed the instructions that you quoted in your first post.(mainly part 2) after flashing twrp
Did you format data in twrp - not wipe - this is needed to decrypt your phone.
Rebooted back into twrp.
Did you flash the no verity opt zip (version 6) - this will disable re encryption of your phone when booting back into system.
This should all be done before booting back into system otherwise your phone will re encrypt itself.

I formatted data, not just wiped it.
I have installed the no verity opt, the latest version.
Even after these, my phone reencrypted itself.

When do the errors occur ie: during backup,restore,flashing something.
When first starting twrp did you swipe to allow modifications or did you leave it as read only.

You mean, the data mount error?
If yes, immediately after the 2nd boot into TWRP, after the first boot into system. Before i do anything in twrp, i check the log (with the button on the lower right) and it creates a bunch of errors, all in contact with the data partition.
So i can even do a proper backup.
If i flash any zip, upon the next boot into system it says something like verify failed, cannot reboot your phone and it gives a button wich used to restore the phone from recovery, but now i cant even do that bcoz it cant mount /data and thus can restore the phone.

Still sounds like you device is still encrypted.
Doing a factory reset with twrp should work to restore your phone or at worst you can re-flash your firmware.
If you can in twrp FORMAT data again and flash the no verity zip use version 6 zip file
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
I would be curious to know in twrp in the mount menu what options are ticked as well.

After the fresh flash, it was not encrypted because i could access the internal storage, and data was mounted.
Now in TWRP system(read only), cache and dalvik is mounted, and internal storage says 0MB

What Android version are you on?
When you flashed twrp it should have asked you whether or not to ' swipe to allow modifications ' did you swipe to allow or not.
In the mount menu of twrp I have ticked/checked data,cache,SD card the option at the bottom to allow read only I have ticked - this does not stop me from doing backups but does stop me from restoring (data mount error ) so you can leave it unticked.
I would.like to know your steps for twrp installation (not the one you quoted in first post) as I screwed up when I first tried.

I attached the software information bellow.
I have not swiped to allow for system modifications

First steps were the followimg:
Install .tra with odin
Immediately reboot to twrp
No swipe for system modifications
Format data
Flash no dm verity v6
(Flash magisk)
Reboot to system

Ok basically you have missed a step as far as I can see
(When I did mine I did swipe to allow modifications )
After you have formated data you will need to reboot back into twrp ( use reboot menu in twrp )
Then flash the no verity zip and magisk
If using magisk I would try the latest version 18 it's working ok for me.
Then boot into system to see if everything ok
Then reboot into twrp and see if the data mount issue is fixed.

Thank you for your advice. I will try it in the following days and will post the result.

I fixed this by flashing Renovate ICE's ROM and selecting the TWRP included in the AROMA installer.
Can access storage on TWRP now with no issues.

Why stock???
It pretty much is stock, just you have full control over the apps preinstalled and you can change colours of various UI elements.
It's just easier to flash a zip than it is to flash via ODIN, then flash TWRP and keep trying over and over to get this result when I know this rom works fine with CTSprofile.
You will only need to flash TWRP once and copy the rom to your phone.
The rest is magic (AROMA)
I haven't really had to mess with anything and have just installed and used the HSBC banking app as if it were an official phone. (ROOTED and custom ROM and Recovery)
One extra step you could take is to use Magisk hide and point it to the app you want to hide root from.
