[GUIDE] Root OnePlus X without TWRP. No PC needed.

Warning: Rooting does not void the OnePlus X’s warranty, though damaging your hardware (i.e., burning up your CPU by overclocking, hardbricking the device) will. You proceed at your own risk! I accept no responsibility for what you do with your phone. Follow the directions closely, and the odds are you will succeed without any trouble. If you are not sure what you are doing, do some more research before you try.

Precaution: Make sure your phone has enough charging to make things proceed everything without draining all juice. Min 50% charging will be recommended.

Well, I read the method CafeKampuchia’s method to root OnePlus X, I even had some interaction with him, his method is good, though a obstacle later one can face will be installing OTA’s. Our device, OnePlus X received 2 updates in a time of one week, which forced me to think that there will be more updates coming soon to fix things. (Like we can’t move apps to sd after updating from OTA, though there is a option to do so). Hence I tried different things to root this device. first I tried installing SuperSU.zip from stock recovery, and I failed in it. Well XDA has lot of options to try it. Finally I found a way to root OnePlus X without TWRP or any custom recovery and I think we will be able to install OTA updates with having root too.

So all we going to do is root our device with KingRoot and then then will replace it with our favorite SuperSU app. So here we go.

Rooting your OnePlus X:

1. Download KingRoot and install it from here.

2. Once KingRoot is installed, open it and root OnePlus X with just one click. Process of rooting will take 2 – 5 mins. One done, Download Root Checker from play store and check if device is rooted. It has to be, congratulations.

Ok, hold your horses, we still have to Install SuperSu to replace KingRoot.

1. Download Terminal Emulator for Android from play store.
2. Download and unzip Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip which contains SuperSU installation stuff.

Steps to install SuperSu.

1. Copy the downloaded Replace_Kinguser_with_SuperSU-v2.0 to your phone and extract it, extracted folder will contain "mrw" folder. Send the extracted folder "mrw" to the internal storage of your device and make sure that this folder contains 4 files. This should be the path for your mrw folder. "/sdcard/mrw"

2. Open Terminal emulator and type

this will ask for super user permissions for terminal app, allow it.

3. Type :

It might display some error, at the end it will launch supersu or open supersu manually.

Update su binary normal, then reboot.

Viola, your OnePlus X is fully rooted without needing the TWRP or even a cable or PC. :p
You can now uninstall KingRoot and Purify apps.
Cheers :good::good:
