I'm following the guide for installing Kali NetHunter from Windows using Bacon Root Toolkit onto a OnePlus One and shortly after attempting to root, the phone hangs on the Cyanogen Mod Ready screen. Here's the steps I've gotten through so far:

  • Full Driver Test Says: Success!
  • Flash Stock + Unroot in normal mode.
  • OTA Update to CM12.1.
  • OTA Update to CM13.0.
  • Root.
  • (Problem occurs.)
  • Flash Stock + Unroot in soft-bricked mode.
  • OTA Update to CM12.1.
  • OTA Update to CM13.0.
  • Attempt to Unlock bootloader. (Maybe it was locked? I don't know.)
  • Root.
  • (Problem occurs again.)


Should I not be updating before rooting? Is the bootloader already unlocked or should I unlock it before updating or after updating? Can I update after rooting and not loose root?
