So I just received a notification that new update was ready, after downloading the files I clicked the install and because I do not have the stock recovery it just starts up TWRP and does nothing at all.
In this case what do I need to do to install the updates?
Never mind - works good with stock recovery.

I got the notification about the 5.1 OTA update on my Nexus 7 2013, downloads fine, but can't install because I have TWRP and a custom kernel. What should I do to update it?
EDIT: so I flashed the stock recovery with Wug's root toolkit, and tried to install it again. When I press the button to reboot and install the update, it gives just an error message and a picture of an android laying on his back with a red exclamation mark
What else should I do?
Turns out that with Wug's toolkit the stock recovery will not install, this is the actual problem, is there any other way to get back the stock recovery?
Flash the update from /cache
I tried it but won't install.
It says: E: Error executing updater binary in zip ' /cache/update.zip'
Under the advanced options you should be able to flash the stock recovery if that's what you want to do.
scrosler has a pre-rooted stock 5.1 TWRP-flashable ROM and a flashable bootloader zip. I just flashed those and everything is working fine.

I'm going to add onto this question. OTA update won't work for me. The red android comes up.
I had flashed android 5 with wugfresh, rooted, unlocked bootloader. I don't think I modified the system after that. I tried to unroot and flash stock recovery and bootloader. No change to the OTA failure.
I see that there was a bug with the 2012 nexus 7 bootloader that would cause this. Google coincidentally just updated that bootloader, perhaps to fix said problem. But I'm not sure what to do about my particular 2013 razor/flo problem.
Does anyone know how to get OTA updates working with a stock rom you flashed yourself?
Edit: Wugfresh says it is impossible to OTA update a rooted android 5 lollipop device? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60262545&postcount=1072
Edit 2: I unrooted but that still didn't work. To workaround, I extracted system.img from the factory image zip for the same version of the OS I currently have. Then I wrote that image to the system partition using the universal android toolkit img flash feature (#11.). The system and data seemed identical upon boot. Now the OTA update will work naturally. But this has all been very confusing! Many mixed messages were found by google searching.
Hi all, I have just recently purchased a new OnePlus 3 from one of the distributors listed under OnePlus's website. I've been waiting for the 3.2.1 OTA update for a while and its finally in my region. However after it finishes downloading and I press install, the phone reboots and after a while it would appear a screen which says "Installation Failed" with nothing else but a Reboot button. Can anyone shed any light on this potential problem or is it isolated to just my device? Is it possible for me to completely reinstall OxygenOS on the phone again? (wipe the phone and reinstall android + oxygen's). Also when I bought the device and first booted it, I noticed that there was some apps already installed( apart from stock google ones). These looked like malware to me and it doesn't allow me to uninstall them(from app drawer or from settings), is there anyway i can uninstall them as well?
Thanks in advance
I see no one replied to this topic, sadly. I am experiencing exact the same issue. Currenty I am on OxygenOS 3.1.3. When I go to system updates it says OxygenOS 3.2.6 is ready to download. I hit download, it downloads, reboots but then it says the update failed and I can only reboot.
Anyone knows a solution? Would be nice if I could update my phone
if your bootloader is locked and you dont want to unlock it, then you can download the full rom from oneplus's official website and sideload through command prompt. instructions are available there on their website.
If your bootloader is unlocked and you have latest twrp, just use the below link to download the full rom and flash it via twrp.
if you want to do a clean install with twrp go to wipe the select everything and wipe. this will delete everything on your phone including the os. remain in twrp and connect your phone to your pc and copy paste the rom in twrp folder in your phone and flash it.

My oneplus 3, 3.2.8 ota will not update and fails. Device was rooted but is now unrooted w/ stock 3.2.7 w/ twrp recovery. I also flashed back stock recovery and still the ota fails to install. Any idea how to fix this or why it is happening? Bootloader is unlocked as well.

Try using moded twrp from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-3-5-4-cb-breaking-t3482572
I have a system update available, but whenever I try to flash it, it ends in an Error 7 in TWRP. The stock rom, I did a factory restore on it. But it was rooted with magisk, and phh superuser before I had to do the factory reset on it. Could it be some of the SuperSU stuff is left over and that is why it keeps throwing that error?
you've provided zero information about your current setup and what version you're updating from/to
you could be talking about OOS OTA updates or CM OTA updates or even a custom CM-based ROM OTA update for all we know.
Sorry, it is oxygen OS, version 3.2.4. I think it updating to version 3.2.5. I did a factory reset, and have not rooted or anything with the exception of flashing Twrp.
Flash patched TWRP via fastboot.
Tried to side load it, it still failed with error 7.
Edit: It looks like I am trying to go from 3.2.4, to 3.2.6. But still not sure what if stopping me from being able to install the update.
hello everyone, hope you all have a nice day...
i'm no on NON-ROOTED stock OxygenOS 3.5.2, yesterday OTA update to 3.5.3 appeared on my phone and i downloaded it, i have TWRP recovery, then in rebooted to TWRP to install the update, after thtat, phone reboots again and said Update failed, if i go to system update now,it wants to download a 1.3GB file instead of former 80mb file! can i update using the 80mb OTA file instead of downloading a 1.3gb file ?
OTA wont work with TWRP Recovery. You need to revert back to stock recovery to use OTA.
And If you use full ROM ZIP, it will break your TWRP recovery.

It worked for me with TWRP. But I did something different. If you turn on "show hidden files" in any supported File Manager you'd notice a folder named ".OnePLusH2Ota" that's where the downloaded update files are stored as a zip. So all you have to do is download the update file and Move it to the Root directory from the update folder. Then boot into TWRP and flash the zip and it will work.. Hope that helped
**REMEMBER THE TWRP I USED WAS NOT THE OFFICIAL TWRP. IT WAS A CUSTOM VERSION OF TWRP**

I was able to download and then flash the update .zip with the modified TWRP, didn't break that version of TWRP.
Hey all, recently did a system update on my OnePlus 3. When I rebooted it, it launched the TWRP recovery. I have no idea what it's for but it won't let me boot back to android (system).
I tried everything, but I can't.. Any advice?

Did you update an OTA while having twrp as your recovery?
If yes, this is the cause of the soft brick.
You should update only full zips in twrp.
OTA are to be updated only if you have stock recovery.
To get back to your system, download the "full zip" of whichever version catches your fancy, transfer to your mobile and install from twrp.

Hi, version of what exactly? New OTA? Because I did quite a few things.. Back up, factory reset, and yes I also updated an OTA.. You think that's the mistake I did?
You need the file with the FULL system, not the lil 150 MB update zip. We talk about the 1+ GB variant. If you do otherwise you will have that loop you can oonly break by flashing the official recovery as fix. Then it will boot fine after once booting into recovery.

I assume you have TWRP installed.
You would have had a OOS rom installed which had got updated over the air from an older version to newer version.
The update would have gone smoothly if you were on stock recovery.
Having TWRP has broken the update cycle and hence your phone has been soft bricked. So yes, updating OTA with TWRP caused the problem.
To clear this, you need to download the full version zip . OTA zips will be small (350mb, 90mb etc.). Full version zips will be bigger in size (1.1gb, 1.2 gb etc.). Version here refers to the OOS version (the latest is 4.1)
Once you have the full version zip , you can reflash stock recovery and from stock recovery you can flash the full version zip to get stock OOS.
If you want to have a custom rom installed, you can install the custom rom and gapps if required from TWRP itself.

Try to install full OOS 4.1 zip from TWRP as you are getting access to TWRP. For transferring file you can use ADB or just use a pendrive with OTG cable & TWRP will detect it & then you can flash the full zip from Pen drive.
