Okay. I just lost all the pictures in my phone and want to root access to get them , I guess this is the only best way to root without loosing all data.

but i just have small question.

like after i root and flash the super su , and if i unroot my phone in the super su app...will it completely become like it was before ?

so that i can root the next time the proper way by unlocking boot loader and flashing custom recovery ? :confused:
[OnePlus X General] StraightEdgeKid:
It will not be like stock after you unroot it again, like you will not be able to install OTAs directly. But yea, you can unlock bootloader and root your phone again without any problems.
[OnePlus X General] Nanolo:

thanks it works!

got root access in my phone.

but i just unrooted my phone as i got the new ota update....but it says it failed...i tried downlaoding the zip file and then flashing from the stock recovery. but still it failed ..

how do i install the new update ?

Thank you in advance.
[OnePlus X General] Emannxx:
I'm in the exactly same situation. Rooted with KingRoot and now can't flash the new update (through stock recovery)...

*edit: just managed to update by flashing the full 006 (2.1.3-X) zip file (the one with 900mb) and then upgrading to 2.2.0 with the OTA zip file, all through stock recovery. Didn't notice the instructions were there, my bad.
[OnePlus X General] ArmStrongDickPunch:
To unroot and install ota's u have to reflash the stock rom first to fully unroot!! (As stated in op) download and flash stock rom through stock recovery to unroot, then install ota and reroot using same method if u want
[OnePlus X General] Natesvn:
Nicee guide, thanks for the effort.
[OnePlus X General] Emannxx:
Yep, I did that after re-reading the op because I didn't notice the instructions before. But thanks! :)
[OnePlus X General] matt999:
How do I flash the stock ROM to unroot the device so I can apply OTA?

Should I download TWRP or is there an easier way.

Thank you.
[OnePlus X General] ArmStrongDickPunch:
Download the full stock rom through stock recovery works fine then flash the ota zip or as stated at the beginning of my sentence u can download the full rom with oos 2.2.0 and flash via stock recovery (which can be found in the oneplus forms)

Here's the link for the full oos 2.2.0 rom (someone that I used and works fine)

[OnePlus X General] Steccas:
Hi :), doing this procedure did you lost any data? The zip files are valid for west europe? Thanks in advance
[OnePlus X General] Emannxx:
Nop, kept everything. Also the process was pretty fast - if you're already on 2.1.3-X, flashing the full 2.1.3-X on top of it is very fast and then you just have to apply the new update to 2.2.0.

Good luck!
[OnePlus X General] Steccas:
Great! I have to re-apply the root again right? Now i have 2.1.3, do you suggest to upgrade to 2.2.0 and then root?

Or let's say I stay with 2.1.3, after I root the phone i flash this (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087013219 - full 2.1.3) then this (https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7P3yCvdl86XcWZfX2NhX2V4bVU&export=download - 2.1.3 to 2.2.0), right?

If again I stay with 2.1.3, then root, i can't update using full 2.2.0 zip (https://mega.nz/#!VssWCQba!QI_nF22jllVMbCNz5tc38roGdVninSwX34mzJ8PtUSk) right?

PS: I know it's OT but after I root I will be able to install TWRP without wiping data? 'Cause i'm interested in xposed framework.

Sorry to bother you with all these questions! Hahahah
[OnePlus X General] StraightEdgeKid:
Direct link to 2.2.0 here.
[OnePlus X General] Emannxx:
You can't install TWRP without wiping the data, because you need to unlock the bootloader in order to install TWRP - unlocking the bootloader automatically forces a full-system wipe.

If you are on 2.1.3-X and you rooted with kingroot (following the instructions in the OP), then yeah you need to install the full 2.1.3-X (the one with 900mb) -> reboot -> check if everything's okay -> flash the 2.1.3->2.2.0 zip file -> wipe cache (JUST CACHE) -> you're set! :D

If your system is rooted you cannot flash 2.2.0 directly, that's why you need to flash 2.1.3 first (to unroot the system, back to full-stock).
[OnePlus X General] TiedCone:
I rooted my phone and installed twrp img file over Rashr app. At what point bootloader was unlocked if I did not do it manually? I also did no have to install all my stuff - everything was in place. Sorry for noob question, just want to understand

bootloader issue. Do I have it unlocked or not?
[OnePlus X General] StraightEdgeKid:
It was my previous assumption that you can't install TWRP without unlocking bootloader. But [MENTION=5653304]ArmStrongDickPunch[/MENTION] proved me wrong, and showed that we can install TWRP without unlocking bootloader. heres his thread, which explains same.

Relax, your bootloader is still locked. Cheers. :D
[OnePlus X General] StraightEdgeKid:
I suggest, upgrade to 2.2.0 and then root your phone, it will be easier bc you'll lose root after upgrading. Hence upgrade and then root.
[OnePlus X General] StraightEdgeKid:
Well, you can install TWRP without unlocking bootloader, visit this link. It will help you to preserve your data.

If you install TWRP(Blue_spark), Flashing 2.2.0 from link in the OP will work, even though phone is rooted, no need to wipe data.
[OnePlus X General] TiedCone:

[OnePlus X General] the Doctor:
Yes, but sadly you refuse to give

full disclosure

in the OP.

BTW, it would be great if you mentioned in the OP that using Kingroot and leaving the bootloader locked is inappropriate for those who want to flash non-stock stuff. There have been a few threads recently from people messing things up this way including some posts about it in my thread. If people intend to flash stuff (besides stock), they must unlock the bootloader first.
[OnePlus X General] StraightEdgeKid:
I did not meant to lead people on wrong path, hence added description about if people are using my method to flash custom roms, they should not, even added a link on how they can unlock bootloader. Thanks.

BTW, hows your progress in main thread of KingRoot about finding out it is fake, diluting and polluting our Android family. Hope you are so passionate as you were here. Good day.

I know you mean well but currently I'm not in a position where i have access to a pc. I'd need to root on the fly. I was hoping if this would work. ;)
[OnePlus X General] the Doctor:
I understand, but think about the long run. Rooting will break OTAs and potentially allow other problems that require a PC to resolve. And don't forget that an OTA for Marshmallow is just around the corner for bacon. You'll be looking for a PC to restore your broken system partition to stock real fast.

[OnePlus X General] winesh:
I don't understand why it is advised not to use xposed installer with apps like towel root and king root. Basically if you obtain root access, xposed can install itself right?
[OnePlus X General] the Doctor:
Because rooting using exploits like Kingroot and Towelroot leaves the bootloader locked. If you are going to make changes to the system partition or flash anything besides recovery, it is highly advised that you root the way Android is deigned to work (with an unlocked bootloader) rather than exposing yourself to headaches down the road with improper workarounds.

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-x/general/discussion-how-to-root-oneplus-x-t3242830
[OnePlus X General] winesh:
Isn't it true that xposed doesn't need an unlocked bootloader?
[OnePlus X General] the Doctor:
I don't think you got the point of my post. Sure, xposed doesn't "need" an unlocked bootloader. But modifying /system with a locked bootloader may cause headaches down the road. Why not do things the legitimate way when it's so easy? Like moderator Heisenberg said in a post about Kingroot, why break open the back window of your house to get in when you are holding the key to the front door?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62814436&postcount=13

Unlock your bootloader & flash TWRP, backup /system in TWRP, and then you can root/mod/flash with safety. That's the way this was engineered to work.
[OnePlus X General] StraightEdgeKid:
[MENTION=3449103]winesh[/MENTION] He's right, installing Xposed without unlocking bootloader is absolutely bad idea it is always safe to unlock bootloader and then do mods and stuff bc if you messed up with it without unlocking, most of the times, it is difficult to clean it.

But rooting with one click solutions is not a bad idea at all, I have said it previously too. Everyone has their opinions like [MENTION=4385555]CafeKampuchia[/MENTION] or like moderator Heisenberg has there opinions. According to me, this process is absolutely safe and which is why I have created this thread. Take a look at below link which is XDA FEATURED POST TOO which also backs one click roots for noobs. ;)

[OnePlus X General] s8freak:
[MENTION=4497853]StraightEdgeKid[/MENTION] agreed about every one having their own opinion but I don't see you in other threads telling them that process is unsafe or wrong.

I commend you on how you handle your thread and the patience you show doing so.

Your method worked very well for me but yes I also agree that the bootloader should be unlocked. I used the other thread to unlock mine then used yours to root.

I've had absolutely zero problems with my OPX.

I'm not completely proficient using adb and fastboot but I can navigate it well enough to unlock and root my OPO and return it to stock when I sold it.

As my Algebra instructor was fond of saying "There's many paths to the cafeteria find the best one that gets you there."

Your method was my best path

So again thank you for this thread and your attitude is what I expected from XDA members.

To connect to a PC, what are the things I needed?

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus X General] Cookie Ninja:
Just download to pc. Power and volume up the phone to get to fastboot mode and connect to the pc. Check if you can see the internal & external sd card in pc Explorer (my computer / external drives /devices). If this is possible then copy the files to the root directory of internal sd card. Unplug. Power down phone and now power+volume down. You are now in Stock recovery mode. Select English and flash the file you copied.

Dead Cookies leave no trails...
[OnePlus X General] StraightEdgeKid:
1. Download zip file from the link I have provided. Place it on your sdcard or internal storage.

2. Go in recovery.

3. Select wipe data and cache. Select yes in it.

4. After that select install from SD. Select the zip file you have downloaded. It will install ROM on your device. Once done, reboot.

You’ll be on stock. That is, software that was in your phone when you unboxed it for first time. :)

NO need to connect to PC.
