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.

G928TUVU4DPK6 Firmware Root Issues

Has anyone upgraded their firmware to PK6 and attempted to root? I don't have any issues flashing TWRP with Odin. None whatsoever. When I flash a SuperSU zip or a PHH Superuser zip, I cannot get past the T-Mobile boot animation. It freezes every time. Once this happens I cannot boot to recovery. I can only boot to Download Mode. Hell, I can't even power down my device after I flash a root zip. Just curios if anyone has dealt with this issue. I have attempted to flash SuperSu zips starting with the 2.71 Beta up to the 2.78 SR5 with zero luck. I've also tried with PHH Superuser and I get the same results. Can anyone shed and light on the subject?
After several failed attempts to root my Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928T) with the latest firmware update to 6.0.1, G928TUVU4DPK6, this is what I had to do to get a working root solution. At no time did I ever have a problem installing TWRP with Odin. Ive been using Odin 3.12.3 but I had the same issues with Odin 3.10.7.
I started with a clean slate and performed a fresh install of the stock firmware which I downloaded from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...al/sm-g928t-stock-odin-g928tuvu4dpk6-t3516310
After flashing the stock firmware with Odin 3.12.3 I did the basic setup on my device to make sure I could boot and everything was working. Next, I shut down my device and booted to Download Mode by using the key combination of Volume Down + Home + Power. Once booted into Download Mode I used Odin again to flash TWRP 3.0.2-0, which is available here:
https://dl.twrp.me/zenltetmo/
After the flash was complete I booted to recovery using Volume Up + Home + Power. When TWRP starts it will ask you if you want to swipe to allow system modification. If you swipe to allow system modifications you will trigger DM-Verity and you will not be able to boot normally unless you flash a custom kernel that has DM-Verity disabled in the fstab or you can flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip that I dowloaded from here:
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
The newest version available is 5.0
So, I swiped to allow system modifications. Next, I transferred the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip from my PC to my device and installed the zip in TWRP. Once this was completed, I transferred my root zip from my PC to my device. I used the PHH Superuser to root my device which is available here:
https://superuser.phh.me/superuser.zip
I installed the root zip in TWRP, wiped cache/dalvik cache and then selected Reboot System. I didnt know if I would be able to boot or not. I could never get past the T-Mobile boot animation each time I attempted to root this damn thing but low and behold everything went as planned and I was fully booted up and running. I went through the setup wizard and everything was working as it should.
I am using PHH Superuser instead of Chainfires SuperSU. Its a personal choice for me as I have been using PHH Superuser since the hand off of SuperSU to a new company, CCMT, LLC.
Once I was finally able to boot normally I downloaded PHH's app in the Play Store from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser
This is just my experience of what I had to do to get root working on my S6 Edge+. All of my root apps are working as designed. I cant remember the last time I didnt have a rooted device and it was starting to bother me. I was having root withdrawals. If anyone decides to upgrade to the latest firmware from T-Mobile and wants a working root solution, here is what worked for me. I have not tried to use Chainfires SuperSU again. If you dont want to use PHH Superuser and wanted to use SuperSU instead, try to insert SuperSU in place of PHH Superuser and see what happens. Do this at your own risk because I have not tested it with this solution that I found. Good luck. Happy Rooting!!

I tried that version too and I ended up with the same problem each time. I figured it out last night though. Im going to update my OP with the steps I had to take to get it working and that way if anyone upgrades to the latest PK6 firmware for their G928T and has this problem my thread is available with a solution.

OP3 TWRP problem.

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.

J6 SM-J600FN - Is it possible to install TWRP without boot-loop?

I have been trying to root my J6 SM-J600FN for a while, and I thought I was getting close to rooting it when I installed TWRP. But then, my phone was stuck in a boot-loop. I was able to fix it by installing current firmware, and I decided to attempt it a second time. I got the same result. Is there anything I can use to install TWRP that doesn't result in a boot-loop? I just want my phone rooted and be done with it.

As far as i know, trying to root stock rom isn't easy. I could be wrong but idk. You can try by:
1. Flashing stock
2. Flashing TWRP
3. Format data
4. Flash DM-Verity and Disable Force-Encrypt then flash magisk.
And i think you can't flash kernels on stock. I could be wrong but idk.

Hey, how did you even install TWRP?
Before I tried installing it my model number was "SM-J600 FN/DS" and now after the install, when I plug it into my pc it says that it's "FN-600G." Whenever I try to boot it in system mode it's stuck in a loop.
I haven't tried flashing the newest firmware yet because I can't even download it for my country.
Sorry, I am a total newbie and can't seem to fix it.

Hi Guys,
Did you manage to do this? I was experiencing the same bootloop issue and I think it is the version of Twrp (I was using 3.3.1-0).
I used Odin to flash a lower version 3.2.3 found here after which I flashed this DM Verity + Magisk.
Root Success!

Note 10+ android 12 TWRP + root

I've been trying to get my note 10 + rooted with TWRP installed but no matter what i can not get both at the same time. I've tried every combination of things to get it to work such as patching TWRP .tar with magisk then flashing it using odin to simply flashing TWRP and trying to install Magisk through TWRP but nothing seems to work, since after i get back into android, Magisk isn't showing as installed. Has anyone been able to get it to work with Android 12?
Thanks.
