So I am trying to install the latest 3.2.1 Update but everytime I get installation failed? I used to have root and custom emojis on the phone but I wiped the phone with TWRP by booting it, flashed stock rom and the 3.2.0 update. I then realised I had no recovery at all so I flashed the stock recovery with adb but even tho I have stock rom with no root or anything and stock recovery I still get installation failed? Could it be that I have my bootloader unlocked but still stock everything else that makes it so its not working or what? really need help with this as I wanna be able to install with OTA.

Did you try "adb sideload" in stock recovery?
I had the same problem when updating 3.2.1 to 3.2.2....I was on stock no root bootloader locked too...I downloaded the ota 7 times and failed....then I downloaded 3.2.2 full rom,unlocked bootloader,flash twrp and then flashed the full romm using twrp...and it was a success....but I really don't what was causing the problem....can anyone explain why the ota update install failed?because i really wanna update the phone using ota not by flashing everytime....can anyone help?

I live in india. When I update my device via system update, 270 mb file is getting downloaded but while installing it loading TWRP recoveey mode and on rebooting os version is still in 3.2.1. My device is rooted. Is there any specific flashable zips for indian version available or please guide me if any other solution is available.Not able to find specific solution. I dont wont to loss datas for this small incremental update
you have to be unrooted and on stock recovery to flash an OTA.
you can also download signed firmwares from oneplus forums which can be flashed through twrp but i think you'll have to download the whole firmware.
What ^said, if you are rooted you can flash the whole firmware using TWRP, all you need to do is flash SuperSU afterwards.
However, i was rooted when I got the OTA for 3.2.4, it told me I was rooted and made me download the whole firmware, I flashed it in TWRP them SuperSU and I was golden.

No data loss on my end. It treated the flash like an OTA, it booted itself into recovery(TWRP), flashed and rebooted.
Hi all, I have an honor 7x (obviously) BND-L21 running EMUI 5.1 and Android Nougat. I have used a guide (which i am sure was from here) to unlock my bootloader and root the phone using twrp a while ago.
I have now noticed there is an OTA update to EMUI 8 and Android Oreo.
My questions are these...
I have downloaded the OTA update and tried to install it only to be taken every time to TWRP. After reading up on this i can see this is obvious but none the less i cant update my phone via this method.
I have copied the files downloaded from the update, (namely update_data_full_public.zip, update_full_BND-L21c_hw_eu.zip and update.zip) to my SD card.
So... 1) can i just flash the above zips using twrp and then reroot again with twrp and be on the latest firmware.
2) if not this method then do i have to remove twrp and then update to then put twrp back on again and root etc.
3) if anyone knows what i should be doing to update without bricking my phone then i apologise but i havent seen the correct thread on this. (seen many indian variants or others i'm not sure are applicable to my device)
Thanks for anything you guys can help with..
You need stock recovery for emui update. Flash stock recovery update. Then flash twrp of you need to root
download multi tool 8 for honor 7x
connect it
go to recovery section
install stock recovery
then u can install oreo update
Hi all,
I have a mi max 3 with unlocked bootloader , twrp and magisk.
Now I see there is a ota to install , when I try to install it download then reboot to twrp , do somethink and then back to android but the ota was not installed.
Is there any way to update miui version with twrp from ota ?
thank's.
Recovery nijel8 supports OTA but does not read the date partition.
Chinese recovery sees the partition date but does not work OTA.
It's best to download the entire zip file and install it.

Unlocked bootloader ...it will erase your storage completely ....as there is a encryption error which they have not yet resolved...
so any way you need to backup ur datas... then use the latest TWRP 3.3 or flash the stock recovery which you can download from oneplus support ....
then install the full rom it will be updated ...
