How to Install Oxygen OS 3.1.1 Marshmallow on OnePlus X via Stock and TWRP Recovery?

The following tutorial will let you flash the latest Oxygen OS 3.1.1 onto your precious OnePlus X from the previous OOS 2.2.2 and eventually update it to latest based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow firmware. This will enable you to flash it from any OOS version. The following tutorial consists of 2 methods to install the ROM. One is via stock recovery or ADB sideload (OTA update) and the other is via TWRP recovery (flashable full firmware file).

For rooted devices: flash via TWRP recovery

For those of you who have rooted and set up a custom TWRP recovery onto their OnPlus X device, can manually flash the Oxygen OS 3.1.1 full ROM file. You cannot do a dirty flash.
