The question is, can we use ATO with TWRP installed?

Only custom roms have OTA available with TWRP installed.

Oxygen Os fails to install the OTA when detected root ot any changes to system patrition, thus you have to wait for the full zip and dirty flash over the existing. Fairly simple.

I can still do a nandroid backup and restore stock OxygenOS, correct?

Thank u! Can I do a clean install with the zip or is it update only, also if I go to cm13 can I just clean flash that zip to go back to stock or do I have to get the firmware somewhere

You can clean flash. It is a full zip. I have restricted access to it now as I don't see anyone getting the OTA. So, it might be a mistake build. Lol.

Hey @gee2012,
I'm on PA's 6.0.1 build right now, looking for a stock OOS ROM, newer the better. Can I flash this zip through TWRP? Just need to get back to stock somehow.
Thankyou.

No, you need to flash the stock recovery.img in fastboot first and then you can flash the zip in recovery/flash from local.

I (call me moron) am bricked (TWRP is installed) and looking for stock recovery also. Could someone post it, please? Otherwise I'm unable to flash a stock ROM. (TWRP does flash it, but after that it says "No OS installed".)
At least I have to wait for my new SIM cards for a few days anyway, so... never mind...

At least you have a problem that can be solved I posted a request for the stock recovery.img so maybe will upload it.

lol i guess everyone got excited and just installed TWRP off the bat, now that i have learned to pull .img files, its too late for me since i installed twrp instead of booting up, there has to be someone who had done it, i wonder why no is providing it, its a simple task.

Don't own this device so a few questions.

Okay, so, one of my friends has a OnePlus 3 and it disappointed in the battery life after the Nougat update, he wants to roll back to Marshmallow.
So,
1. Is rolling back to Marshmallow possible after a Nougat update? Are there any risks for flashing Marshmallow on Nougat's bootloader?
2. Can someone tell me what is the latest stable (don't want betas) Oxygen OS based off Marshmallow.

1. Yes, its fairly easy to roll back. Minimal risks If done corectly
2. I believe the latest mm build is 3.2.8 (not sure though)

Remember that op3/3t N have f2fs file system which is unsupported on 3.2.8 (MM). You'll either have to use an old version of custom kernel (I think only bluspark supported f2fs at that time) or convert to ext4 in twrp. Other than that there should be no issue with flashing 3.2.8 over N

You must be running NPPS25.137-93-2-5 to be able to update through OTA. However, you can still update to Oreo using fastboot method (link here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/official-oreo-8-1-0-opp28-85-16-t3849244), but most probably, you will loose all of the data stored in the phone.

It's safe as long as you don't try to flash gpt and bootloader. Downgrading one (or both) of these partition results in hardbrick.

If you update to official Oreo but then decide, you want to install CustomROM, you have to downgrade to Nougat first. Otherwise, your fingerprint won't simply work with any CustomROM. I have already mentioned it in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/help/finger-print-sensor-issue-oreo-roms-t3853491.
Btw, bootloader version is not related to fingerprint working or not with CustomROM. There's another partition that makes difference in it.

In my opininon yes, but your opininon might be different. Downgrading from official Oreo to official Nougat isn't difficult at all. You just have to remember, you can't flash gpt and bootloader. It's also recommended to avoid erase modem commands to prevent loss of IMEI.

None of them. Treble project needs Treble TWRP and Treble LineageOS installed firstly for correct functionality of other Treble CustomROMs. More info in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/treble-project-treble-cedric-t3820451.

I was on 137-93-14 too. I flashed the fastboot firmware 137-93-2-5 to go back full stock and official. No need to re lock bootloader..then I downloaded the latest OTA update 28.85-16 and installed it via ADB sideload.
My phone is xt1670 on channel retca..though I can't say for sure what difference it makes if your on amzin. Wish I could help more.

No problem bro Yesterday I flashed the fastboot files and successfully updated to oreo which I found on this thread.

Ota update opp28-85-13-2

I'm looking for it because it solves the low sound problems and the October security patch:crying:

The safest way to update without losing anything is to download the 2.2gb full firmware file on your device then move it to root using the built in file manager. Once you have moved it restart your device and follow the upgrade instructions, takes less than 5 minutes.
Version number
16.0631.1910.64
Update information
1.Fixed Docomo SIM often disconnected mobile network issue.
2.Fixed occasional touch failure.
3.Fixed that navigation bar will not shrink to bottom automatically when playing PUBG MOBILE game.
4.Fixed call volume being lower than normal for Facebook and WhatsApp calling.
5.Fixed File Manager crashing when opening a picture in the middle folder.
6.Fixed that user can’t share Airtrigger or key mapping settings in “Star Commander”.
It still has the October 1st Android security patch.

Download full rom, place in root of storage, reboot, update. Don't select restart, select later. Open magisk manager, click to install magisk, select after ota, force install ok then reboot. Job done, root maintained

I forgot about the magisk part and rebooted losing root in the process.
Any way to extract the boot image so I can patch it with magisk? It do I need to wait for the RAW ROM?

Well I have just asked over on the Vietnam Telegram group if there's an ETA on the patched root img. Hopefully I'll get a response soon and will let you know ASAP. But yeah, once that's released you can go ahead and flash it for root using the cmd "fastboot flash boot xxxx.img"
Hopefully you can/don't mid waiting a couple of days for it to be released - until then, you'll just have to be unrooted
I'll keep you posted...

Thanks a lot, I have been researching this a bit and I'm going to try to get the boot image from the fulll ROM payload.bin. there are tools for this, if I'm successful than magisk can take care of the rest.
I'll keep you posted as well.
:good:

Just move the zip update from downloads folder and paste it into the main area where other folders are stored, like downloads/music/ringtones etc etc... Don't place it in any folder, just place it in the same location as those other folders...
From there, restart the phone and when update is detected, choose to update but DON'T select to reboot once it is done. Instead, open Magisk Manager and select 'install' for Magisk (not magisk manager), then select 'Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA). Install it and reboot. That's it, root will be maintained :good:

Did you download the full rom or the small ota? If it's the small ota you need to rename it to exact name of the full ota, or just download the full... I went for the full rom. Did you restart the phone after?
