Wil I lose my data with this upgrade method? - OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers

Local upgrade method.
https://www.oneplus.com/uk/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1574161738631

It's a regular update, so no.

Is there any reason that I can just directly download the zip file to my phone, instead of PC and transfer to the phone, as in the instructions below?
Thank you
How to upgrade system?
Download the software build for your device on this page. Please back up your data before flashing your device.
Plug your phone into your computer and copy the downloaded .zip to your phone’s storage. If you’re using a Mac, you can install Android File Transfer Android File Transfer for this operation.
After the .zip file is copied to your phone, go to 'Settings' - 'system update', click the 'settings' icon on the top right corner, choose 'Local upgrade', find the .zip file and click on 'Install' to confirm.
The update takes about a minute (depending upon the file size), once done reboot your device to boot into the latest Oxygen OS.

You can download directly in your phone, and place it in root of sdcard.
Also be sure the file ends with a .zip extension.

So I downloaded it, it was a jar, so I extracted it and put it in the root of my sdcard. When I try to do local upgrade, it says, "Move installation file into root directory." I moved the jar file as well, and it does not detect it.

Rename .jar into .zip and copy it in the root.

Thanks for all of your help. Upgrade is done, easy peasy! :good:

I use it to notify me when an update is available and to handle the download. After that I switch to the system updater to perform the local upgrade.

[Q] Unrevoked and Not updating

Alright guys/gals.My question here is this.Using unvevoked3 and not updating to the new OTA update is okay? I'm still having problems with sync not syncing? Thats cause i have not updated yet. Will my phone be alright without the update even though i want it..I cant seem to update it to my evo.Either no one helps or its not in plain English for some of us that dont have the experience rooting or unrooting.
What do you all think? Anyone in the same boat as me.? They say put the file on your sdcard root file.Where in the hell is that?
**** does happen and im in deep **** without the update.
Ok this should be easy. If u are unrevoked and u are full rooted running a custom Rom then just flash the update. There should be a post with the zip that u can flash in recovery to apply the update. If not then just wait for your custom Rom to be updated to the next version with will be surely base on the latest ota. Like u said it's def.ly not a big deal.
BUT:
If u are running stock or want to remain on a stock Rom just flash the rooted 2.2 base on the new OTA, Can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789913
Edit: came across this, should help you also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790394

I have that update on my computer already. Then they say to put in in your sdcard root.I don't know how to find that. I'm using revoked 3, stock Rom I'm sure. Clockwork mod is installed. Please help. Instructions does not help me much. How do I just flash it.

Ok if u have it on your SD then that's easy providing that u got clockwork mod or another custom recovery. Just boot your phone into recovery, I use quickbot. U can also use Rom manager to boot your phone into recovery and also flash a clockwork recovery . Once in recovery just go to flash update from zip, then select the zip(should be the one on your sd) confirm and then reboot. You're done.
Edit:
Putting it on the root of your sd simply means drag and drop it to the main folder on your sd card, where u see all the other files and folder. Just open up your sd card in a browser(double click removing disk from my computer) and also the folder on the computer where u have the file. Then drag and drop it on your sd card. Where u dropping the files is the root of ur sd, hope this helps.

Get to SD root - connect your EVO to your PC through USB and mount it through disk drive from the notification bar then drag your update file onto the SD card, i.e. on my windows laptop, root would be the window "Computer->Removable Disk (G: )
To flash - power off then hold vol down + power button to get into hboot and then select recovery. once there, select flash zip from sd card and select your update file. let it finish and you should be able to reboot into the updated rom.
*quick boot is an app from the market that allows you to easily reboot into recovery for rooted phones

Michael this is an invalid file name. U do not have to rename or alter any thing with the update file. The file is already a zip file so the extension is already a .zip file. Any file that is zip will always be for example 'filename.zip'. you adding a .zip to the file name will make the file unacceptable as there is no .zip.zip file. Just leave the original file you downloaded as is. Once in recovery you can then follow the same steps you mentioned. Go to choose zip from sd card,u will see the zip file on the sd,select it then confirm and install. U should be fine if u follow these steps.

Just for the record... On Windows boxen, the default options for your filemanager,
is: Hide extensions for known filetypes
Translated:
If windows shows the correct icon for the file, it knows what type of file it is, and therefore will hide it's extension - in your case; .zip
Stupid, I know (Windows).
So, when you see the file "Update", and it shows an icon indicating that windows knows it's a .ZIP file. You will know that the filename is actually:
Update.zip - not just "Update" as you see in filemanager.
Bottom line; file has the correct icon in filemanager, it's extension hidden.
File has a generic icon, then file is unknown, and probably shows it's extension.

[Q] E: Cant find update script

Every time i try to flash a rom i get a error that says
E:Cant find update script
Using Amon Ra recovery. Wiped everything and partitioned sd card.
Thanks for any help
Sounds like the update package is not signed with valid keys. Is your phone rooted ?

check your zip. If you zip a file two folders deep it will give the same error. open your zip and see if you see your files or another folder.
yeah when i unzip it, the first folder i see is the name of the rom "fresh" then when i open it, I see; boot image file, data folder, META-INF folder, sdcard folder, and system folder.
Well update script is in META-INF\com\google\android but if your zip file is not signed then it can't be flasshed that is why you get upgrade script not found.
How do i do that????? And walk me through what "signed" means
And im using a macbook pro if that helps any
Thanks a ton
Well did unziped the zip folder ? Did you make any changes to the installation zip ?
Now what rom are you running. So you have root ? When you use connectbot and type su deo you see #? It could be that your phone is not ruter and does not have proper recovery installed since we can't sign rom with the same keys that developers at sprint use we have to root the phone and allow it to accept custom rom.
all i did was download the fresh rom from the forum onto my computer, compressed it (zipped it) then rebooted my phone into recovery, wiped everything i needed to, enabled the usb, moved the zip over to the phone, disabled the usb and then went to flash zip, found the zipped fresh rom and tried to flash it.
Im running my stock rom that came with the phone.
If you running this on mac the os x will unzip ypur file and put the download file in trash so use zip file from trash. Now You need to use simple root to root and install proper recovery on your phone then you will be able to install custom rom .
Awesome! found the zip file in the trash like you said, transfered that over and it worked! thank you thank you thank you!

It seems like you've put the zip file directly into your SD card, you have to extract the folder named "dload" and then put it in the root directory of the SD card.

Where in your SD card are you putting the dload folder with the update.app file?
So you have to rename B510.zip to update.zip and then put the zip onto your sd card in a folder called dload, after that just use local update or force update via the three button method.

I'm no expert, but I think he has to unpack the update.app file, put it inside a folder named "dload" and then move that folder into the root directory of the SD card. I don't think the system can read the zip file directly.

Normally this would be right but it's an OTA update so it has to be a zip.

Stagefright Fix [OH1]

It appears Sprint has begun rolling out L710TVPU0AOH1 which includes a patch for stagefright.

Has anyone seen this update?
Please post a link if anyone sees it.
I received the update this morning but I have not looked at the size. I did not expect Sprint to put out a patch for this old device. I expect to have to unroot the device and then re-root the device after installation. It will be a weekend project for me.
OH1 Update Zip
Can you post the Update.zip file?
Don't have the file but the update said it was 58.1 MB.
A couple of people on the Sprint community reported that it bricked their phones but it worked OK for me.

I'd love it if you wouldn't mind capturing the update.zip file and then posting it for us before you install it.
If you do get this update anyone before you install it. Please copy it from your cache file and post it here thanks.
I have the update.zip copied off to my external SD card and PC but because I'm a noob, I'm not allowed to post external links on here. Sorry.

It's in there. If you have root all you need is ES File Explorer and grant it Superuser permission. Open the options and tick Root Explorer and Show Hidden Files.

Sorry, I lost the ota update. I had some time and attempted the fix but it failed. I did restore to stock recovery. In my haste, I didn't make bkup of file. So I was waiting for it to re-download. I am not really concerned about the security exploit. I am glad someone else was able to provide the update file.

My phone downloaded the update, but when I press "Restart & install", it doesn't do anything. Is it because it is rooted? I also couldn't find the update in the cache folder, even though I gave it superuser access and have it set to show hidden files.
Is it possible to manually install the update without wiping the phone?

You will need to have your computer set up for adb. The proper drivers and Android sdk etc. Power off the gs3 and then reboot to recovery by pressing power the bottom button and volume up at the same time. It will take a moment and then select the option to update via adb. At that point you should be able to connect to the computer via USB and from the command prompt type adb devices and have it list the serial number of your phone and say sideload next to it. I believe that the command is adb sideload filename in this case update.zip. update. Zip needs to be located in the same folder as the prompt you are working from. I am typing this from my phone, so I apologize for the formatting. You may have success by placing update. Zip in the root of an external sd card and select update from ext sd in the recovery prompts.

Does anyone know if this update will reset everything? I'm wondering if I'm going to lose my user data, apps, root, twrp....
Also, I think I know the answer to this, but just to be sure....
I believe the process that I have to follow to use the OTA update is to unroot the device (uninstall supersu?), then just run the update.zip from recovery. My guess is that I can use a custom recovery to install, but I'm not sure. I'm also assuming that it will not remove the user data and apps. After the update is finished, I would have to root the phone again, then set up all of my xposed framework options again.
Sound about right?

Question How to rename zip from oxygen updater for Lokal Upgrade..?

Im in oxygen OS 12 beta 3 and want to rename the zip file from oxygen updater.
The zip files are with a long number and Letter named and Lokal Upgrade App didn't find the files with this Name.

.. That didn't Work
Move the .zip in Storage. NOT in any folders.
That the second picture said.
Pretty sure the filenames have to remain as they were when you downloaded them in order for them to show in local upgrade. At least this is the case for me. The second I rename it, local upgrade won't recognize it.
