You can not flash a custom recovery from stock android recovery. Which is what the red x recovery is
Is your tablets boot loader unlocked yet?... No matter. Just download thisAIO_scripts_R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3.zip - 12.00 MB
It's my tool to do everything u need. Unlock boot loader, flash twrp recovery, and then twrp will root it also when you boot into recovery. Just Dow load the zip file. Plug your xoom into your pc and click the runme.bat and chose what you want to do.

I got into the twrp interface and loaded the omniROM 4.4.2 but it will not load past the omni screen now and give me an error saying could not mount Cache

Known issue on twrp there is no password just leave blank.
And you will need to ask your Rom related question in the Rom thread because I don't use that Rom and I don't know if it's bigPart Rom or not

Just remember to look at what ever Rom you choose. If it says requires bigpart. Look at the thread in the development section for the steps to make it compatible for bigpart. It's not hard just have to follow a few steps.

Semi-bricked OPO, need help restoring

Hi everyone, I have a big problem. Recently I got the phone and decided to root it. I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632
I successfully rooted 4.4.2. using TWRP method, no problem but I when I decide it to update to OTA XNPH30O - 4.4.4. after clicking install, it sends me back to TWRP recovery page and I never able to install the update. What I did next was probably what got me in this situation. I went to recovery page, I did both format data and advance wipe but turns out it didn't clean everything on the SD DIR. So now when I restart the system, it just hangs on the OPO page.
Please how do I restore to the original factory ROM so I can re-root it again. Currently I have only access to fastboot and TWRP recovery page. I'm very noob at this and the last thing I want is to messed up the bootloader so I need someone to guide me through it step by step.
Thank You

Check the index thread in my signature. In the stock images section there's a thread that has TWRP flashable versions of the CM11S ROMs, just flash one of those.

Thanks, I recover to the original XNPH22R stock ROM that I was on when I got the phone but after I update through system to
XNPH25R I can't update anymore? - 0 updates available. I like to go to at least XNPH30O so I can be on 4.4.4 before I want to root it. What do you suggest I should do?

You could follow the guide in my signature to get back to 100% stock 33R build but make sure you backup your data first

The OTA updates are bugged.
You might want to consider using a custom ROM.

33R are suppose to be a stock ROM? i thought 22R was hmm.. either way I did fastboot recovery to 22R but now I seem to encounter new issue: can't download anything from google play store due to an "error retrieving info from server". I'm getting frustrated now, I have no idea what to do...
I guess I should root it all over again to gain access to TWRP and SuperSU but what's after that?

Please enlighten me about this, I just wish to be on 4.4.4 rooted that fixes the current battery drain issue. I just want to install a ROM that's the most stable currently and most people would recommend at the moment.

22R was an earlier build based on Android 4.4.2, 33R is the latest CM11S build based on Android 4.4.4. Following my guide will get your phone back to how it would be if brand new out-the-box (but it will wipe all data in the process)

Which is probably overkill. All he needs to do is flash a ROM.

True, but if the OP doesn't really know what they're doing going back to the start might be a good thing. Otherwise, this ZIP flashed in TWRP would do the job...

I did just that using fastboot, I flashed ROM XNPH33R which is supposedly 4.4.4 and I again rooted it afterward with TWRP/SuperSU method. But now I think I need to go through a checklist on why my battery still isn't doing good as many would say. I wouldn't consider it draining but it does go down quite fast when I put it to use. Evening idling for 8 hours the phone still drains about 20% when I woke up.

I did just that on using the XNPH33R fastboot img but now that I think about it, should I use the zip method instead but that's putting the files onto DIR and flash it from TWRP right?

Well I did all that, now I'm on 33R and is rooted, is there anything I can do to help improve the battery life? I';m still experiencing a drain.

OK I might have found something to do with battery drain now since I have root access, sorry I'm too new to rooting at this moment but I learned that I suppose to get rid of bloatware from CM11 to increase battery duration. Now the question is, is there a thread in XDA going over a list of what I should uninstall/freeze?

Getting rid of bloat isn't really going to increase the duration of your battery. Finding which apps are driving your battery the most or causing wakelocks and then dealing with them by using something like Greenify will have a positive effect though.

how to update directly?

How do i update the oneplus one directly from 25R to 38R or 44S? Is this possible? By recovery like TWRP? I'm currently running 25R. When i check for updates....no new updates seem to come.

If you want to use OTA updates you must take them in sequence (25R>30O>33R>38R>44S). You can take somewhat of a shortcut though. Clean flash the full 38R ROM zip from here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655046955
Then you can just apply the 44S update.

What timmaaa said works. Another option is to flash, http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-stock-rooted-4-4-4-xnph44s-t2932551
It is OTA safe as indicated in the OP post and will give you XNPH44S as well as root (SuperSU)

One question from me. If he takes the factory image from zephiK, does this mean he wipes his data also?
Or is this only when flashing via adb?

What zephik posted isn't a factory image, that's Calkulin's stock rooted 44S ROM. No, user data is not wiped when flashing that.

That is correct. The general idea is,
If you're coming from a ROM other than the ROM you're currently using: Wipe.
If you're coming from the same ROM but upgrading to a new version: No wipe, just flash the new zip. The only exception to this is if the OP says a wipe is required.

Thank you very much for your help.

You don't need root to flash a ROM, try with TWRP instead.

About Root in 05Q

Hello guys!!!, Today I get the new OTA with the firmware 05Q and I install it. I see in the forum a version of 05Q rooted LINK HERE
I only want to ask if anyone know another way of get root actually or if I should wait until our amazing toolkits for 1+1 get updated.
Thanks i nadvance!!! :cyclops:

You can gain root following, This thread. If you already have a custom recovery install, might be easier to install the pre-rooted 05QA. I went the second route.
P.S. That toolkit will root 05QA, just does not have the new firmware to go back to stock.

I have a custom recovery installed ofc, if I install the pre-rooted 05Q I lost all my data and apps? Should I do a factory reset? Thanks for your fast answer mate!!

If you have custom recovery installed. Do a back up first. You should not have to wipe or lose anything.

Really thanks again mate!! I do it, like you, as soon as possible.

Wait guys, all you need to do is flash SuperSU from your custom recovery. That's it, nothing more.
@rraquib, why on earth would you tell him to flash the entire ROM again??

@timmaaa Read carefully I mentioned both option and he was wondering about the pre-rooted version.

You said that flashing entire ROM would be easier, it isn't. All that's need to get root is to flash the SuperSU zip. He's already on 05Q so flashing the ROM zip is completely and utterly pointless. It's like telling someone who's run out of petrol to install a entirely new petrol tank that's full of petrol (when all that's actually needed is the fuel).
It doesn't matter what someone thinks might be the solution, if you're going to answer in the q&a section you need to give the best and easiest solution.

The thing is flashing update-supersu is not working... for me at least. I updated OTA.. After installation finished, rebooted to TWRP and tried to install update-supersuv2.37.zip...
It doesn't show any error, but when I reboot my phone there is no supersu installed ( actually there is one but it's greyed out with android icon and not showing up on application list )

Sorry guys for don´t answer your comments, I have been working out of my country for a couple of weeks.
I get root on 05Q with just flashing SuperSU 2.46 from recovery. Easy and fast, just that.
Anyway you have my thanks in your respective buttons.

Oneplus one downgrade 6.0.1 to 4.4.4

Hi, Is it possible to go back to 4.4.4 from 6.0.1?

i think its possible , with cm11s. just try it, and let us know ! dont forget to backup , just incase

its CM13 back to CM11. Which software should I use. Read a lot of topics but, which one is for my phone?

I think you'll have to download 44s firmware and install it before you proceed with the rom.

You can! There are multiple way to do it:
First of all, you have the option to dual boot your phone with 4.4.4 using multirom or EFIdroid (not sure about EFIdroid)
You can just flash the full 4.4.4 zip as secondary rom, however! you NEED to flash the 4.4.4 modem in order to make the proximity sensor to work.
You can also just flash 4.4.4 as main ROM without using multirom or EFIdroid, make sure you wipe all the partitions first, then flash the full rom.
There is also the QHS_Bulk way.
First restore your phone using the color.zip in this guide.
When on color os (the chinese 4.4.4) you can fastboot flash the cm11s rom over it (step 4 in the guide, but make sure you use the cm11s rom).
Have fun!

You can but you need to flash KitKat firmware for oneplus one, also you need to find a compatible recovery menu to flash the ROM and firmware. Be sure to keep a backup of anything goes wrong

try this https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/how-to-back-to-stock-repair-system.225170/#post-8737053 , it might help.

Thanks all for the replies. I am a complete noob at this.
So what do I need to do exactly. I know my mums phone still has 4.4.4. so it is possible.
I have backup everything now so not afraid to lose any data anymore.

1. unlock bootloader
2. install twrp

Possible, but stupid idea.

You can just flash stock COS from fastboot
Choose what you want, I suggest the glorious 44s

That ROM was the most stable with KK back in the days, but on some devices it needs a custom kernel to fix ghost touches.
