If you carefully followed the instructions in OP then only reason why you got stuck on BL is that your rom was not built to boot on MM BL.which rom you flashed.??

Also this is just a second case of this as reported ,if the guide was faulty a lot more people would have bricked phones and complaints here including myself.Also to clarify this method is not a shortcut it just updates the BL same way any OnePlus OTA updates,perks of this are this guide only does update the BL ,dont touches system so your last rom remains intact ,booting or not, which is a opportunity for one who flashes custom roms and knows what he is doing.

And you simply cannot restore backups created by TWRP as a measure of downgrading BL.

For now do flash the recovery again

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Boot into recovery wipe system and data and cache//as you restored them and then flash either latest cm13 nightly or any other rom that works on new BL.
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
Check the above post for you problem mate,also this thread and other threads to really know whats causing "bricks"(if any) //hint not this guide but people who do not know what they are doing is.

Hi, i did like your guide, but my onyx is stuck in bootloop (oneplus logo is showing for a second, reboot, logo, reboot...)

Fastboot is showing me: unlocked: false and tempered: true.

Fastboot won't let my flash any files...

Any suggestions how to bring my onyx back to live?

Many Thanks
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
None of this would have happened if you have carefully read the op.For this guide to work one must need unlocked BL and yours is locked mate ( what a surprise ehh!!)

Now either do

fastboot oem unlock

.

Then flash the new twrp(one of listed in op) and do this

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

where recovery.img is the name of your recovery file.

Reboot to recovery then and flash a updated BL rom.

If that doesnt works go Here.
[OnePlus X General] tet-bundy:
Would u upload a lollipop bl zip, in case one wants to revert back?

Thanks anyway :)

Gesendet von meinem du_onyx mit Tapatalk
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
I can but there's already one present ,check here.

Also Im gonna tell you how to downgrade your BL(feels like time travell!!)

Download the zip from above.

Download the older twrp Here.

Boot into recovery,first flash the oos2.2.1-x.zip

Now install the recovery.img file through the TWRP itself(check op if you forgot and wanna know how again)

Reboot to recovery . and BOOM!!! you are now in recovery with older BL,flash back the older roms(cm12.1 anyone??)

SO thats how you travel back in time :silly::silly:
[OnePlus X General] gwellplayed:
If I have already installed the new TWRP, what should I do?
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
On the Old BL,if yes then goto fastboot mode

fastbbot flash recovery twrp.img

Grab the twrp .img from official site(look a few posts above,direct link is there)

Then boot into recovery and follow the guide.

Also make sure your device is unlocked and also oem unlocking is enabled in developer options in your current rom.
[OnePlus X General] gwellplayed:
I dont know how. But I am on OOS 3 then I installed the new TWRP and rooted my phone on Marshmallow.

---------- Post added at 03:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 AM ----------

I am just curious if I can skip the step where I need to flasg a new TWRP. Then flash the Updated BL right away ????
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
If you are on oos 3 then you are already updated,no need to follow the guide .

You can freely flash any custom rom that uses new BL
[OnePlus X General] gwellplayed:
I got an error while flashing.
[OnePlus X General] emeemisri:
Dude, never qoute entire OP
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
well thats out of my jurisdiction,but I'll help anyway ,what error??
[OnePlus X General] tet-bundy:
Thanks for reply. Im still a bit confused though. Ur link should point to the threads' op (and contained dl) not to the latest post on it containing oos3 files right?

Kind regards

And yes i know it's rather dumb to revert, but i currently find myself unable to set up a new system from scratch, while having a well running one backed up... I will however travel back back in time, when i feel i can afford the effort. Probably will wait for an n release that satisfies me though...

[OnePlus X General] chwiejak:
Will it work with twrp-multirom?

How to check that bootloader is locked or not?
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
Use the following command for fastboot

fastboot oem device-info

And for flashing the BLupdate zip,you can use multirom twrp.

Also make sure oem unlocking is enabled under developer options of the rom you running.

[OnePlus X General] Gustaf87:
Thank you very much! Great work! This is why i love XDA! <3 :D
[OnePlus X General] Happygamer24024:
After updating the bootloader should I use the same compiled twrp to flash ashwin's cm14?
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
Just follow the guide and at the end,flash any rom you want through the installed recovery
[OnePlus X General] Happygamer24024:
Ohk thx!
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
So did this guide worked for you??

I see you have voted no.
[OnePlus X General] tausifahmed:
Hi, I followed steps as per instruction. I installed the latest CM13 nightly and the phone boots ok but after installing the Boeffla kernal with supersu my phone hangs at 1+ screen and wont boot. Reverting back to CM13 kernel fixes the boot issue though.
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
So this guide worked for you indeed (your vote says NO).

Well looks like boeffla isnt working with the new BL as you say. Either wait till its updated or change the kernel.

thanks a lot buddy this guide works great ?
[OnePlus X General] Hille2001:
i updated my BL ,all worked fine

in another way please highlight that after BL Update the Old Rom does not start anymore

before updating is copying of a new Rom necessary

it was my failure to not read carefully ....
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
Advice taken mate, I bolded the note.
[OnePlus X General] Hille2001:
You can is not the correct Meaning

You have to or you must use a Rom which uses the New BL.

or an Advice before do this Procedure ,to have the New Rom also in the Memory.

Btw after installing the New BL changed CM13 Rom ,all my Datas and Apps were present.
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
well all seem fine to me now.If someone is careless to still neglect its his?her fault,not mine:rolleyes:

And if people don't wanna use the roms with updated BL after following this guide,something surely is wrong with them//someone call House.

And yep all data is left intact //no touchy touchy any data or system partition:silly:

Hello i'm having the same issues like most of people my bootloader is blocked.

The creen blinks 2 sec and loops.

I can put the phone on fastboot but in adb he doesn't detect the phone have you an idea ?

For that you need fastboot, adb doesn't works in fastboot mode, only fastboot does(duh!!). If you dont have it, google it.

And no need to panic, follow the instructions here.

Press thanks if I helped you.

Hi,

I used you tutorial and works good, but I have one problem: If I turn off mobile, mobile automatically turn on. After showing OnePlus logo it will appear Cyanogen And after Cyanogen is even starting apps.

How to fix it please?

EDIT: So now mobile works perfectly. If I turn off it is turned off, but If I turn on it appears oneplus logo and then 3s black screen and then cyanogenmod logo and then starting apps, is it normal?
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
Are you using fastboot for windows/mac os because adb or any other app wont recognise the phone.

Also have you installed the drivers for fastboot??

Please search here on xda on how to use fastboot mode if you re still having problems and doubts

Well you can try clean flash if you want , I can't make any remarks as its probably related to the rom and not the guide:D
[OnePlus X General] MrMysakovichCZ:
I think problem is with BL. Because system works perfectly. I have only problem with turning on etc. So I try flash OxygenOS 3.1.3 and then twrp and sultan's build
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
With BL, if that was true everyone would have one of these in every rom. I'll recommend a clean flash.But you can always try the hard way around, flash oos3.1,boot, wipe everything and then flash Sultan's cm13
[OnePlus X General] MrMysakovichCZ:
So problem was with ROM, Sultan fixed it.

[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
which recovery you flashed mate,looks like your BL updated but recovery is still the old one.

I installed the latest "normal" one, 3.0.2 onyx 20161020-085152
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
Ohh that should have done the trick:confused:,please flash through fastboot now and try again,also try booting through fastboot itself(commands a few posts above if you need)
[OnePlus X General] MattNoir:
Sadly, none of these worked, I already tried them...and I have no idea why they are not....okay as I left it booting and was writing this reply, with fastboot boot option it worked...but not before and I waited for few minutes...

okay thank you once again, hope it will work now. Like is yours! :P

Hey guys, I updated my BL with this method and installed the latest version of Sultan's unofficial CM13 (Oct. 25) afterwards. Everything works fine with just one exception: the X axis of my accelerometer is reversed so if I use a landscape app it is always upside-down. I also reported this issue in Sultan's thread but I am not sure whether it is a ROM issue or is it some Lollipop related leftover this ZIP was not updating. Anyone has any idea?
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
This zip updates all the files that official MM OTA(OOS3.1.x) is meant to update so its not due to this,also only you have reported this issue ,that further proves my point.

for your problem ,have you tried caliberating the sensor.
[OnePlus X General] debaj:
Yeah, the calibration apps show that the values on my X axis are reversed. It can be some screwup on my device since I did not find anyone else around here who experiences the same, now I try to reinstall the ROM and see what happens.
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
Yes try that,also try any other roms ,also give a shot to oos itself.
[OnePlus X General] debaj:
It turned out that my persist partition was bad. My comment from the CM13 thread:

Fixed by restoring the persist partition from the TWRP backup linked in this thread: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...genos-screen-auto-rotating-in-wrong-direction

Remark: don't restore the EFS partition, it can clear your IMEIs and the phone will not recognize the SIM card.

Hey guys,

Actually I was planing for ashwin's 7.0.x rom which needs new BL but my current rom (RR) needs old BL.

And then what if i'm not comfortable with the 7.0.x(with RIL which may not be stable yet) and want to again downgrade to RR?

or do we have any marshmallow that runs on the new BL and is stable + compatible with RIL?

Tried this, bootlooping and can't connect via Fastboot. Help!

Certain my bootloader was unlocked, but I hadn't installed a new image when I rebooted, and now it won't boot normally, or into recovery, just Fastboot mode, and I can't connect Fastboot from either of my PCs.

Update: Okay, now I have the correct driver, Fastboot connects, but I can't unlock the BL because remote oem unlock is disabled, so I can't flash twrp either, and I can't boot and unlock it. Is there a way to unlock via fastboot?
[OnePlus X General] matwaking:
Just check the unbrick guide in general section here.

Also I already warned about BL needed to be unlocked.

If you aren't sure, ask in the corresponding ROM thread.
[OnePlus X General] dingermtb:
No need, but the new and updated kernels and most of the updated ROMs are for new bootloader. You would have to install a ROM that supports the new bootloader. Eventually, they'll all be supported.

If you only read the post you quoted,there's a link to the thread which has that file. If you skip details like this,your opx can get in trouble mate. Always read the posts carefully, ask if something you don't understand.

Well you can try other nougat roms like tesla n,xenon hd ,beanstalk. Try them and also always do a clean flash(wipe dalvik cache,data,system,cache) before flashing the rom. Also if you flash any custom kernels ,flash them after booting into the rom first time.
