A few weeks ago, from OnePlus launched a contest to choose the name of your new Rom as everyone rumored, would be developed directly by OnePlus and not by CyanogenMod, which meant breaking announced.
Yesterday, users of a OnePlus One awoke to good news new year. OnePlus launched the first version of his rom for OnePlus One based on Android 5.0 Lollipop rather Cyanogen like to enconces, representing the first touchdown of OnePlus One with Android 5.0 Lollipop officially.
That if, from OnePlus make it clear that this first version of Android 5.0 Lollipop is an alpha version, ie the basis to work on a final and stable rom for our terminals, which, as usual, we experience some bugs with this rom.

Turn off the phone and reboot into bootloader mode by holding the Volume Down key while pressing the switch.
We connect the USB cable and open a console command from the platform-tools folder (from the folder, hold down the shift key and we click with the right mouse button to select open console from here).
Open the bootloader with the command: fastboot oem unlock. The phone will restart completely reset, configure it and store in the internal memory file rom Android 5.0 Lollipop.
