In the case of a OnePlus One, this was a stock 4.4.4 ROM. If you're using Windows, you can use the official NETHUNTER WINDOWS INSTALLER, which selects the correct image to download based on your device model.

I can confirm that this also works on OnePlus One! In my case these are the steps I followed (for your own sake, please read all steps before doing any of them):
Start from having a Stock CM12.0S Lollipop ROM installed.
If wasn't done previously: Backup + Unlock + Root + Backup EFS.
Install MultiROM and get it running according to one of the guides linked-to from the Play store page of MultiROM. Make sure you select the correct kernel version 5.0.x!!!! I wasn't paying attention and lost both of my WiFi and cellular connections after reboot and had to flash a bunch of stock ROMs randomly to fix it.
Perform a nandroid backup and copy it to your computer.
Install NetHunter using the Windows tool (may require manually flashing the kali_linux_nethunter_1.xx_...zip at the end) (see link at the top).
Install MultiROM again, this time on NetHunter, selecting the proper kernel (4.4.x).
Go to the MultiROM TWRP and:
Perform a nandroid backup as a precaution.
Transfer the first nandroid backup to device and add it as a ROM "from backup".
Swap the main ROM (which is currently NH) with the newly restored backup (Lollipop).
Boot into Lollipop and run MultiROM again, going through the setup steps again (this is needed so you could boot into NH. If you skip this step you will get a message when attempting to boot into NH that the kernel needs patching).
That's it!

Finally got NH to dual boot on my N5 CM12.1 nightly by installing multirom with CM12.1 kernel, search and download aosp_hammerhead-ota-eng.proxuser-14-11-2013 zip to your SD, flash via modded multirom twrp: advanced, multirom, add zip and reboot. Be quick and choose to boot into the Kitkat ROM. Reboot again but into recovery and flash SU to Kitkat ROM via advanced, list roms, choose the Kitkat rom, flash zip. Reboot once more and flash NetHunter Kitkat zip on top of the Kitkat rom you just flashed and rooted with SU via Advanced, multirom, list ROMs, choose Kitkat rom, flash zip. Optional: Reboot into recovery, go to advanced, multirom, list roms and rename it to whatever you want e.g. NetHunter. Reboot, Enjoy!
Tried several stock lollipop ROMs with NetHunter for lollipop to no avail. This is the only method I found that worked...

What about 18.3.1.C.1.13 4.4.4 firmware?

Not tested for now .
Yes, it is tested and works on recent (18.3.1.C.1.13) version.
Edit:
Please note that for proper installation Sony RIC protection must be disabled( the related source code can be found here ) .

The recoveries from first post are assembled and designed to be used on locked bootloader, recent additions of TA and modem partitions is only for backup purposes.
The builds linked here can be used on unlocked devices with stock based Android ROM's.

I test it out my own, but if fail... Can i restore stock? Is this kernel or only recovery?
Edit!
Working and Device succesfully booted up
Working on 18.3.1.C.1.13 4.4.4 firmware

This is an only one fresh compiled PhilZ Touch recovery, you can make and restore backup to your android, e.g. KitKat 4.4 - 18.3.1.C.0.21.
Also you can use PRFCreator to create a pre-rooted stock firmware, and then flash with this recovery.
I hope this will be useful for people who can't unlock their BL for some reason/restriction, but want to have the possibility to use a custom Android recovery.

May try this over the weekend if I get time. Need a recovery on my m2, as currently rooted on 18.1.3.c.0.21 with no recovery. :thumbup:
Installed no problems now have a working recovery thanks:thumbup:

Thank you for your confirmation

Good work bro!! Thanks !

can you show us some roms that we can try plz

Here is a complete log of my backup/restore process, right before I post this thread.
You can try this, or If you like, make one for yourself.
Most of Pre-Rooted firmware created with PRFCreator like this , also can be flashed.

can I use this recovery on unlocked bootloader?

Basically it is made to work with a Locked Bootloader, so that most likely it will not work correctly without some extra work.

Tried this method, not booting into recovery
I can see the Cyan LED, but no there's no effect with all button combinaison....

Hi @NoobZik
The button is the last thing for what you need to worry about.
Can you please post :
Your kernel version.
The method you are using to disable RIC kernel module.
The contents of a log file located at /cache/recovery/last_log right after a failed recovery boot attempt.
p.s.
And if there is still some misunderstanding :
This recovery is for Locked Bootloader

Is not it easier made when the bootloader unlocked?

I've re-Locked before proceeding

Yes, but that was not my goal.
Currently I don't have unlocked Eagle device, so I can't test it for myself.

Assume that you have installed correctly Superuser or SuperSU, and RIC is disabled.
Check if this files exist for you after installation:
Code:
/system/bin/recovery.cpio
/system/bin/e2fsck ( this file should be a script )
/system/bin/e2fsck.bin
/system/bin/recovery.sh
Try reinstall your current busybox with this script.

also can be used to open not boot?
no longer need to be changing the kernel to flash

Xiaomi mi4c Android 7 7.2.9 Root and Twrp Easy

Xiaomi mi4c easy root and Twrp install For not found open bootloader !!! My operational guidance :good:
1. Run Twrp Swipe fastory reset install Supersu 2.78 for binary update and Install Android 5.1 miuios rom end Swipe Dalvik / Art Cache Cache and reboot to run the phone and test app from Market Root Checker.
2. Run Twrp Swipe fastory reset and install twrp Android 5.1 Swipe Dalvik / Art Cache Cache and reboot
Run a test phone app Ndr utils
3. unpack Twrp libra for Android 7 image instalation.
4. Swipe Dalvik / Art Cache and Cache and install image twrp for Android 7 and next install Android 7 rom reboot
Google Play install apk official Twrp App and install image Twrp pro Android 7 again
Entry into TWRP over apk Ndr Utils
link Twrp : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767135741[/url]
link Super su : https://download.chainfire.eu/1003/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip
Please follow the procedure and you will be surprised

?????

Detail please
I just gotta break it down into the steps I get :
First step:
- go to TWRP and do factory reset
- Flash supersu zip file in the link
- Flash MIUI OS 5.1 and wipe dalvik&cache
- Reboot then check for root with installing root checker app
Second step:
- Go back to TWRP and do another factory reset
- flash TWRP for OS 5.1 zip file and wipe dalvik&cache
- reboot then install NDR Utils and run a test with this app.
Third step:
- unpack the IMG file of the TWRP for OS 7 in the link
Fourth step:
- wipe dalvik&cache then install the unpacked TWRP
- install OS 7 ROM then reboot
- From Google play install TWRP app then install the unpacked TWRP again from the app
- go to TWRP recovery using NDR Utils app
- be surprised
I got few questions, just to figure out where is the magic :
1. Which ROM version do we start from ?
2. What if we already got root? Skip to second step? I use MIUI8 6.12.22 MS and it already have root. And play store.
3. Why we have to flash the TWRP OS 5.1? I mean it already what we use.
4. What test to run with NDR Utils? It seems that it only works with TWRP XZDR recovery (I don't know what it is)
5. What is the OS 7 ROM we can flash? Is it the update version? And what for? To retain root? What if the update got no root? TWRP app need root to flash the IMG file, if the OS 7 ROM got no root then we're finished.
6. What if we just:
-Flash TWRP OS 7
-Flash OS 7 ROM with root
-Flash TWRP OS 7 again
-reboot, install TWRP app, flash the OS 7 IMG
Will it give the same result?
