[Download] OnePlus X TWRP Recovery

The recently launched OnePlus X, a semi-budget device from the makers of the original Flagship killer, has now gotten itself an unofficial build of TWRP recovery.

The recovery comes from a member (counter-strike) of an unofficial Chinese OnePlus forum by the name oneplusbbs.com. Thankfully though, it’ll work across all variants of the device, not only the chinese.

Since this is an unofficial build of TWRP recovery for the OnePlus X, don’t expect it to be fully functional. However, the basics of TWRP recovery like flashing a zip file, taking nandroid backup and using MTP while in recovery, of course works well even on this early and unofficial OnePlus X TWRP build.

What you need to get TWRP recovery installed on your OnePlus X is just an unlocked bootloader, which is very likely supported under your device’ warranty, thanks to the humble warranty policy OnePlus usually follows for its devices.
