I got my OP3 1-2 weeks . before i had a S4 (rooted). I'm really happy with this phone but i got some questions and problems.
1. When i video call via skype the camera will freeze in 50sec. when I switch the camera to the back and front it's fixed for 50 sec again and same thing happening again....
2. Rooting the OP3 is it safe to do ? And does someone got a guide for it ? I saw allot off them but I don't know which one works for Oxygen 3.2.1. I got some rooting experience with the S4 but rooting op3 is kinda different.
3. When i got a rooted op3 without a custom rom. Do i still get updates via System updates in the settings ?
Sorry for my bad English and thanks for reading.

3. Wrong, with systemless SuperSU and/or systemless Xposed you still get OTA updates.
Proof: Myself (have the 3.2.1. OTA Update ready to download with systemless SuperSU and systemless Xposed.

Via TWRP both.

Seriously? I've been told several times installing a custom recovery and OTA is a no go...
But thanks, I'm still stock but I don't know for how long. I'm still a flashaholic inside.

You are right that you will get a prompt for upcoming OTA updates.
But they won't install because your kernel and system are not stock.
My device is also rooted systemless and I can confirm that you will get an error inside TWRP
when trying to install the OTA patches.
When rooted, regardless which way, it is always necessary to flash the full rom zip.
So in the end @J_Dutch was right to say that you won't get updates
because you will always have to manually flash the full rom.
On the other hand, when somebody only uses TWRP (for backups for example) without modifying the system and kernel at all,
OTAs will work just fine.

Oh thanks, I didn't know that, I would've flashed it via normal OTA after work otherwise
It seems there would be a problem in flashing normal downloaded SU and have to go through the long process of flashing systemless SU after which have to upgrade it.
Is it normal for you guys too?
How come 1+3 bricks after installing normal SU?
b.t.w. personal note: thanks to one of the oneplus rep that was in the euro tour in Rome the TWRP recovery fix worked (sorry forgot your name ). Really appreciate the chat and help out!
No, i downloaded normal su (SuperSU) and then flashed it through TWRP. I don't know which su you are using, but there are loads of us who have installed SuperSU without an issue.

You may have the wrong flashable, flashing supersu on the OP3 for me is very quick and painless. Make sure you have the latest from chainfire's website v2.76 at the time of me posting this. : http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable
PS: regular supersu is both systemless and "normal" root it makes a decision during installation determining whether your device can support normal root and if not then it does a systemless boot.img patch.

You beat me to pointing him to it. If I can add, there's a dedicated SuperSU thread to seek help if SuperSU causes an issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Highly unlikely but just in case. If you are not sure, there are sufficient number of toolkits out there that can simplify the job for you.
@tropicanapure @StykerB
Have tried them the only way I can flash SU is downloading @ahmed_radaideh 's oneplus3 toolkit and then flashing his SU. Tried the normal version and the problem seems to be present (brick), yes chainfire's su. If I don't want to do full wipe I'd have wipe system and just reflash stock and then systemless su

Then you may want to check the process y you are using for this.
If I can ask what exactly are you trying to fix? Do you already have SuperSU installed? And you are trying to move to systemless?
Or are you unable to install SuperSU itself? If yes, then you may want to post to the SuperSU thread too.

I had no problem in installing it systemless, however just wanted to see if everyone else had to go through the same process. It seems not, now I'm trying to find out how come I can't install normally.

You still haven't mentioned the process you use[emoji6]
The process most commonly used via TWRP is to download the zip from the link above and flash it. That's all there is to it.

Assuming your bootloader is already unlocked beforehand, the straight answer to your question is yes, that's how most of us do it.
No problem with flashing SU whatsoever,
and i rather not to use any toolkit to flash either recovery or anything,
fastboot for recovery and recovery for anything else,
Simple, straight and safe

Download and flash the full 3.2.4 rom, supersu and xposed. Your xposed modules/settings should still be there.
You may loose custom recovery. In this case you'll have to re flash it. Then flash su and Xposed.
if OOS notices you're rooted it'll automatically download the full zip to flash (1.3gb) and when you flash it you'll lose xposed and root but you just need to reflash those zips to get them back. The OTA will flash fine in twrp w/o replacing twrp.
If you want to use the incremental zips in the future then before you flash anything. Take a boot, system image, and EFS backup in TWRP (system IMAGE is important and you need official OP3 twrp to do it.) After you have that backup then flash to your heart's content. When an update rolls around grab the incremental zip from that thread here on XDA. Restore your backup and then flash the update, take a new backup for the next update and flash all your things again.

I've been doing that, just wondering if i can/should update ? Will It cause problems if i flash latest version?
got the same idea: just flash super su 2.79 sr3 should work?
That's what I'm thinking, just wanting rbox to confirm it shouldn't hose anything. I know some roms on phones don't work with latest versions. And since he is using such an old version, I'm think that might be the case here
Hmm i think i will try it next time. Create a backup and flash supersu.

flashing/updating SuperSU is not working and you will lose root
Since SuperSU is now a system program. I think doing fresh installs are the most secure way to test newer versions.
What I was planning to test before the XPosed APK fix came out was to have the latest PreRooted ROM & manually change the inners of the SuperSU folder to the latest. Not just the APK but the binaries or what ever is included. And then flash that modded PreRooted Rom.
XPosed APK fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/protip-how-to-supersu-xposed-app-t3552590/page1
I asked @rbox about it & he said it should be fine. At worst I think you will end up with a non-rooted FireOS 5 install but as long as it doesn't update (make sure you are only messing with the latest FW version) & you can still get into TWRP. Then you can flash the latest original PreRooted ROM to get back your root.
I might still do some testing regarding this in the next few days. Might try the latest beta, final & a few other versions since v2.46.

What FW where you on & what method did u try using ?
- manual clean up of apk installation first (system/apps & /data/app, but left /system/xbin/su)
- adb install eu.chainfire.supersu.vX.xx.apk (1.94, 1.97, 2.00, 2.4x,...)
- TWRP flash of UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.xx.zip (1.94, 1.97, 2.00, 2.4x,...)

Although it is much more of a pain to do fresh installs. I think when dealing with root it should be more stable to mess with it that way.
One can also do the build.prop mod to stop updates if one wants to test older FW versions.

First thanks for the link to the xposed fix:good: And now that you mention it I don't know why i didn't think of that sooner, should be relatively easy to just replace the files in the zip with 7zip DUH. Only problem is I have everything all setup perfect.
I rooted my phone and I get an update from OTA.
But it says your phone will be un-rooted.
Why does this happened? Is that normal or there is a way to update my phone without un-rooted?
Just download the update and download superuser zip
http://www.supersu.com/download
Now flash the update in twrp and after that flash superuser so root will stay

Magisk is OK just flash it right after the update
download full zip,
flash it and then flash Magisk without rebooting.
you'll lose root and custom recovery otherwise.
