OP3 Official update installation

So I'm running OOS 3.2.6. which is rooted. In the software update it shows 3.2.7 (1.3GB) available for download but it also says "Root detected, downloading full upgrade. Note: your device will be unrooted." So if i download and install this will it work ? Also, whats the best way to install official updates on a rooted OOS ?

You need clean install of oxygen before you can update regardless, just have to reflash su again afterwards and any kernels xposed you use.

You can easily install it, but after the download su will be removed, so you will have to reflash it.

I'd recommend flashing stock recovery before downloading the OTA update as twrp "sometimes" fail to flash OTA updates. Also flashing the 1.3 gb full update will remove your root. You'll have to flash supersu again for root. And you'll have to do this everytime an OTA comes.
The best way to install official updates on rooted phone is to download the patch only file for 3.2.7 and flash it via twrp. The patch file will be around 40-50MB and it is available somewhere in the XDA threads. Search for it.

Best way is to download OTA update from oneplus forum instead of complete ROM and just flash update

Wipe the system partition. Flash the 3.2.6 full update + ota patch together.

Do the same thing as before? TWRP should work now, so Magisk or supersu should be good to go.

Yes, but you'll have to flash the stock recovery and boot images from your current update (2.38.617.6) prior to taking next OTA or it simply won't update. If anything you or apps do using root to mount system as RW (or modify it), you'll have to flash stock system image prior to taking OTA as well. Best way is to restore stock system image and boot from TWRP backup then find stock recovery on forums or extract from current RUU and flash stock recovery then take OTA.

No it won't work because after update in updater it won't install with twrp so root is not problem for ota update.

Easiest way to apply OTAs on Oreo with TWRP?

I am stock rooted. I got an OTA that I'd like to update but it looks like it doesn't want to flash through twrp. I want to stay stock rooted. Do I need to reflash entire image?

Try Flashfire.

If flashfire doesn't work (like in my case), just flash stock recovery and apply OTA. You'll have stock unrooted ROM and you can follow these steps:
1. have stock rom + stock recovery
2. use "fastboot boot twrp.img" (boots TWRP without flashing it)
3. install magisk from TWRP
When OTA cames in, I just apply it and then repeat steps 2 and 3.

Do you know if OTA will work if I have any other system modifications? I pushed some apps to /system for example. :silly:
Thanks for your help!

As far as I know, even mounting system as R/W can prevent OTA update. I wouldn't even try to apply OTA with modified system partition. In your case I would download full factory image, flash everything without data wipe, root as suggested above and apply next OTA without struggles

Have you tried flashfire? I'd recommend it. You can flash the ota, download the full ota from Google, and retain root and a custom recovery. Support chainfire and get the pro version. Although, functionally there is no difference.

Flashfire worked. I had to uninstall SuperSU and reinstall magisk and TWRP but much easier than wiping everything and flashing.
Thanks all for your help! :good:

Update TWRP and OOS

I installed TWRP from blu_spark and magisk the first day my 5T arrived.
Now there is the official TWRP and an OOS update.
How do I go ahead to flash the real TWRP and update OOS without wiping all my data? And do I have to re-flash Magisk?
Thanks for your help.

just flash OOS, magisk and then the official twrp .... done

In that order I won't lose any files?
And can I just use the OTA or Incremental zip or do I have to download and flash the full zip?
And since I am already on it, can I just flash a custom kernel afterwards without losing data?

Full zip.
No data loss.
Kernel is fine.

1. flash the official twrp image using blu_spark
2. flash the full OTA zip from official twrp
3. flash magisk

Just to add to the original question (and my case is with official TWRP), an Oxygen OS update notification just popped today.
I have read at multiple places that incremental zips don't work with custom recoveries.
Just wanted to confirm: even though the update notification pops-up, I cannot (am not supposed to) update the phone with the OTA, can I?
