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.

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.

Hi.
- I flashed TWRP using ADP, flashed root to change fonts but used Stock OOS 3.2.4
Now i sold device.=, to buy black one or iPhone
- I done data reset in TWRP to unroot, after reboot SU App was gone.
- I flashed stock recovery via ADB
- I left the bootloader unlocked, i was not sure of comand, plus in case of mess up, i could fix it.
New user has no idea as well, he says now when he installs OTA 3.2.6 it fails to install.
What i am missing? how can i fix this?
Help will be much appreciated, thanks in advance.
EDIT: SOLVED
When i locked bootloader, it took me to bootloap, and when i try to sideload new OOS3.2.4 it gave ever, cannot read file.
- I flashed new official TWRP again.
- I flashed stock 3.2.4 with TWRP
- Set up OS
- Flashed stock recovery, in fastboot by doing USB debugging on
- Locked bootloader by "fastboot bootloader oem lock" right after stock recovery
- Set up OS 3.2.4 again, at this moment 3.2.6 fail to down over the air
- I downloaded stock 3.2.6 incremental update, successfully downloaded and install.
Now phone seem to be at stock. I bought it back from to save him from inconvenience, as he was scared as the phone was failing to install update initially.
Also interested on this, same thing happened with me and a friend, modded his phone, he didnt want it modded anymore, flashed a clean stock OOS, flashed stock recovery, and error on install of 3.2.6 OTA, if anyone have any idea how to recover the ability to OTA, appreciated.

When i sideload oos.zip which is 3.2.4, it says cannot read zip.
When i relock bootlaoder, it goes into bootloap, i go back to fastboot and unlock bootloader, it boots back into old stock OOS 3.2.4. This rom still has my changed fonts, which i had when i had root and TWRP.
I know there was a firmware change with 3.2.6, so if you flashed the 3.2.6 recovery with OOs 3.2.4, this could possibly be your issue.
Boot into Twrp, don't need to flash it. Clean flash 3.2.6, reboot. Try relocking bootloader see if you still get boot loops.
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.
Im running stock ROM 7.1.1 with Latest ElementalX Kernel and latest Magisk + MagiskSU. Also Running latest TWRP 3.1
I haven't updated yet. so I have the march patch, and this recent patch im behind on my 5x. I thought maybe i could just accept the OTA and just reflash magisk and the elementalX kernel afterwards. Oh, and likely would have to do TWRP as well. But accepting the update clicking to restart and install just rebooted me into TWRP. Flashfire doesn't work yet either been waiting a month on that. I get that failure during "uncrypting" error.
I'm slightly new back on the modding scene, until recently have been out of it for years. I did recently make a mistake with an audio mode and had to download the full image and use fastboot to throw that back on my device. Anyway with 7.1.2 out i really do want to update so i need to do it manually, and hopefully without losing my data. (or having to restore it from a backup if possible anyway)
I'd read somewhere that you can download the full images and extract the updated images you need and flash them to your device then your respective addons root kernel ect.. There seems to be lots of way to go about it, but little clear on how to do this so that's what brings me here to this post. What's the best way to manually update (add security patches) if im running Magisk and magiskSU.
Thanks in Advance.

After you flash the /system /boot /vendor (I would also do bootloader and radio), reboot into TWRP and install kernel & Magisk.
So I have a Play Store Pixel XL running stock 7.1.1, rooted, with TWRP 3.0.2-0-RC1 recovery.
Most upgrade guides I've read seem to assume stock recovery, or no root to start, or some such.
What do I need to do to get to Stock Android O, rooted? If I need to wipe the phone I can, but I'd prefer not to if I can avoid it.
Thanks!
If you don't want to wipe just update through factory image, just open the factory zip, open flash-all file and remove "-w" from last line, then execute it (update without wipe)
But I suggest to flash the stock factory image with the "-w" to make a clean install, flashing major release like 7.x -> 8.x is always better wipe to avoid potential issues.
But yes, you can first give a try without wipe and only if you find bugs try wiping. Your choice.
simply flash the OTA, then re-root

Use full unroot in supersu. Then take ota. Then root again after upgrading to O
Thanks for the help everyone, you pointed be in the right direction.
In the event that it might help someone else, here's what I ended up doing:
1. I downloaded the OTA, booted into the TWRP I had currently installed, and then sideloaded the OTA.
2. I used ADB to push the newest TWRP flashable zip, the latest SuperSU, and the latest SU-Hide to /sdcard on the device.
3. I then used the most recent TWRP bootable img, booted into it with fastboot, and used it to flash the TWRP zip I had previously pushed to the phone storage. I then had the OTA with the latest TWRP installed on the phone.
4. Finally, I rebooted to recovery on the phone (latest TWRP now instead of stock), and flashed SuperSU and SU-Hide.
I'm now stock, rooted, on O. No wipe necessary, kept all my apps and data. So far the OS itself has been entirely stable. I had an issue or two with a few apps after the upgrade, but those were fixed with a quick re-install. Except for Better Terminal Emulator Pro, seems it doesn't want to work on Oreo and it's no longer under active development. It's fine though, there's other terminal emulators out there.
Thanks again for the help!

Which version of TWRP do you have TWRP working with Oreo 8.0?
I can boot into the modded TWRP 3.1 (fastboot boot twrp-3-1-pixel-bootable-mod.img) but AFAIK there is no working flashable recovery for 8.0 yet.
quick question, are the steps the same for stock root 7.1.2? I've never installed twrp. I've fastbooted to it to root and that's it. I'm familiar with that as I've sideloaded all the ota security updates and the re-rooted.
my main question is su-hide required? I have never done it and have no reason to that I'm aware of. Seems all the guides I see involve su-hide and flashing kernels etc. I've never changed kernels since having the pixel. Really just want root for adaway.
I plan to do a clean install of O and then hope to root with fastboot twrp to flash supersu.

Thanks! What I ended up doing:
Decided to try and unroot and take the ota. super-su full unroot would not work. so I fastbooted to the mod twrp and flashed UPDATE-unSU. I then took the ota. then fastbooted to mod twrp and flashed super-su. worked perfect!
