Unable to install the latest OS update :( - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hello! I am on OxygenOS 3.2.8 Android 6.0.1. When I got a notification that there is an update for the OS, I downloaded the same but for some reason the update failed. I thought it may be because my phone was rooted and was with TWRP recovery, so I formatted the phone, went back to the original stock recovery and tried it again but it failed again & again & again. So I downloaded the update file on my laptop and tried to update from there, both through sideload and through TWRP but it keeps failing. I am from India BTW.
Can someone please tell me where am I going wrong?
Thank you.

Failed OTA update for Oxygen OS 3.2.1 on OnePlus 3

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.

set_metadata_recursive some changes failed

Hi guys,
My phone's screen had been replaced and they updated the software also.
I was trying to use a custom ROM as always but after installing the latest TWRP (3.0.2.2) i got the "set_metadata_recursive some changes failed" error message and i am not able to upload any ROM.
I succesfully reflashed the phone with flashtool, tried once more the whole method, but same error.
(now i am trying to reflash the phone once more, i hope i will be succesfull.
Thank you in advance, sorry for my English.
ps.: i am on the latest official MM
TWPR installation method was: Kingroot, AutorecMM, installing SU, then from TWRP installing the latest version (also tried 2.8.7 before, same error).
LG flashtool KDZ flash is now stopped at 1%...

Oneplus 3 Stuck on Logo + TWRP

Hello,
I had a one plus 3 running stock OS then i installed on TWRP and rooted it and installed CM14.1 Night and it was working normally then I did an OTA update for CM 14.1 then i clicked installed then the phone wouldnt boot into the OS. then I kept trying to make it boot into the OS and wouldn't then I wiped everything i think like it said no os in the phone, I reflashed twrp and i tried flash CM14.1 and it didn't work via twrp I tried adb push and it didn't work I tried adb sideload and it didn't work, I put the zip file of the phone manually because i can see it on my pc but that also didn't work
I even tried using the STOCK rom and it didn't work
I even had a back that I did with TWRP and did a restore and it also didn't work
can anyone help me ?
most likely the file you downloaded is corrupted... try redownloading the file
Flash twrp 23 or earlier and then try to flash latest cm14.1. If it doesnt work flash stock recovery and sideload some stock oos.

Boot to OOS, install flashify or official twrp app from play store. Download modified twrp (http://downloadmirror.co/1KuN/twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3.img) and flash it thru downloaded apps.
OR
Sideload the modified twrp.

stuck in twrp after OTA update

i installed the official nougat update via VPN. Then rooted my op3 with nougat using modified twrp. Today i receieved OTA of 30mb, i downloaded it and click reboot. And then the problem started. The device continues to boot in twrp and im not able to use my op3.

You messed up! Everyone knows that before flashing ota you should be on OnePlus recovery now you can sideload oos or flash through twrp.

which twrp version are you using? also do you have encryption issues in twrp? you might not need to reflash the rom butmay be reset the phone and install updated twrp. there are couple of threads. i myself saw this issue on my device
I faced the same issue. Just flash the stock recovery and boot the phone. The update will fail and you'll be back on.
You can flash newest BluSpark TWRP and the the 4.0.2 Full ZIP, then it should work
This is the solution that worked for me

I had the same issue, flash the stock recovery 2.0 on the phone (the one that takes 64Mb) and then boot the phone. As mentioned it'll fail but then you get out of the loop and can flash whichever recovery and rom you feel like. And thanks for the people that mirrored the recovery while it was not on the official page, and to the people that suggested this, it was a pain to fix the first time.

Had this issue before, just look on your internal memory, there is a folder called ".OTAsomething", in there the OTA zip is stored, delete it and the phone will boot to Oxygen OS again.
