Revision history [back]

I bought a OnePlus X which is running Android 5.1.1 security patch 1st April 2016 Oxygen version 2.2.1-x

Workstation is Linux. Have the latest fastboot utility and have tried various versions of twrp with no success. Clockwork mods appears to require root these days, and Cyanogen tools have vanished from the web. I just get 404 trying to get their boot loaders.

Every time I've tried to fastboot boot with the various twrp images, it still reboots in to the OnePlus fastboot loader which doesn't seem to like the size of the sailfish images.

The confusing thing is that fastboot doesn't return an error. It's as if fastboot thinks the process has gone perfectly fine... which it obviously hasn't. Also, a fastboot boot <image> results in fastboot thinking it's fine, but the phone doesn't actually reboot. Two separate computers have been used, and multiple USB cables.

I'm at a brick wall.
