I just received the update for Fire OS 5!!
It is FIRE OS 5.0.3 (532008220)
First findings:
ADB is still buggy. (firestarter gives an error. ADB needs to be pushed off/on to get it working.)
Audio passthrough in Kodi is not working. (same as in the Fire OS5 preview)
Lol, is anything actually fixed?

Don't even try updating until the stable official version is released. Everything is beta right now
I also got OS 5.0.3 update. The good news is that it includes Alexa and many voice functions work now. 5.0 was incredibly slow and buggy for me. 5.0.3 seems more responsive but that may be because I had to do a factory reset in order to upgrade successfully.

This is the official version, so it is not a beta anymore. Whether or not it is stable we shall see:

Edit: actually it is confusing if OP got official OS 5 or just an update to the developer preview.

It seems like this is a beta just for those who have the developer preview installed. I agree, it's a bit confusing, especially since it looks like the official version will be 5.0.2 while this possibly beta version is 5.0.3. But I haven't heard of anyone NOT running the developer preview that received the update, which is why I wrote that it's a developer preview update. I'm sure we'll know more as more devices get updated.

Today, CM pulled all nightlife older than todays date down.
Just an FYI. I'm note sure of what that means for 5.1, etc.

It looks to be because starting today there is a check to ensure that you are using the 5.0 bootloader and NOT the 5.1 bootloader. Based on reports in this thread, it was deemed dangerous to allow people to run a 5.0 ROM on a 5.1 bootloader, so all previous nightlies (which did not bother confirming you are running a compatible bootloader) were pulled.

Ahh. Makes sense. Thanks for the info.
Sorry for my ignorance but I can't find information any where am currently on Android beta N when they official os is dropped does that mean I will get it and unroll from beta or do I need to unroll and when am rolled back then manually flash the update.

Got ota & update installed fine & now longer on beta.
Tons of informations to your question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/android-7-0-nougat-official-thread-t3445373
Hi all,
seems that the installation methods are a little different compared to the normal run of the mill installations which is normally required.
As im on custom ROM and always have been I'm not aware of what is available on stock.
Slightly hesitant to commit to installing if there is an impending official version.
cheers.
Yes, Oreo OOS 5 is official. There are plenty of threads on this particular subject.

Oreo has been released officially but yesterday they cancelled the rollout due to some unspecified bugs.
Anyway, it seems fairly stable and the there are some download links for the full ROM here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72799046&postcount=2

Wonderful and oops if they've pulled it, so it's not quite released then..
ok good to know..
I'll hold fire on stock, sorry should have made that clear, I only flash custom ROMs although stock OOS isn't too shabby, I'd miss the mods I use
thanks though mate, I'll keep an eye out for it, appreciate it :good:
I was really considering upgrading to OS 5.0 but I've seen mixed reviews about it. It seems like the installation is sort of hassle as well. I don't see anything wrong with nougat as of right now.

precisely what I was thinking, my thinking is I can upgrade but I'd be leaving behind some serious stability, stamina and performance. Not to mention that I don't know what does or doesn't work on Oreo.
I think it would make perfect sense to hold fire until it's official.

I could be wrong on this, but I think xposed won't work on Oreo. Most other apps shouldn't have any compatibility issues.
So far the overall experience of official Oreo OOS 5 seems to be a bit snappier and performs better than Nougat.

I don't care for xposed and until it's a final release I highly doubt it'll give the same stability I have right now.
Either way I won't be committing to Oreo until it's officially released and stably within custom ROMs.
I have installed OREO on my work phone, and for the moment I am not impressed by O. Nougat is so stable and refined after all, not very clear why to upgrade...?!?!?!?! I will maintaine N on the OP5 until FaceLock comes includede in O-

yep that's where my heads at, again I'll be holding fire for the time being.
Fair enough. It's hardly a secret that many users have experienced boot loop issues when upgrading to OOS 5.0, maybe that was the main reason why OnePlus decided to pull back the OTA. But loads of users have successfully flashed the rom and it stable as a daily driver, not to mention several users have already noticed a performance gain over the old Nougat rom.

What about an official H2os? the only downloads on the official h2os site are beta 1 and beta 2. Any expected dates for oreo h2os?

that's kind of what I'm getting at, we need an officially released base which can be used without any odd Flashing instructions and only with bugs which would affect the device as expected.
ie: stock OOS should work fine, LOS and AOSP will more then likely have some issues, which is to be expected.
From what I've read, there has been another base released.

I agree completely. I refuse to use anything other than h2os now. I get such insane battery out of it but it seems to be on the back burner in terms of updates so i expect oreo to be a long ways out. Its cool there are open betas for it though but unfortunately the betas dont allow google apps. Side thought, it would be amazing to see some development for h2os.
For those of you who are on the Open Beta version of OOS, what has your experience been like?
Has anyone ever experienced bugs so severe that the software doesn't seem daily-driver worth?
I'm thinking of switching from Stock since the security patches are more up to date and updates in general are more frequent than Stock as well.
However, the word 'Beta' in the title does slightly concern me as I still would like to have an OS that I can rely on. I don't mind a few small bugs here and there, but nothing to the point that stops primary functions of my device (i.e. calls and sms).
Any insight would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
I used beta 8 and now I'm on beta 9. No issues.

They're not typical betas, all the significant bugs are worked out in their internal alpha testing, or whatever they can it in house. Basically pre-release of the official builds

They run a closed beta prior to releasing the open beta so most bugs are ironed out early
I've been on the open betas since OnePlus 3,now on 6T, never had any problems that I can think of.
The very early betas ,1,2,3 of a new Android version are the ones with bugs,the further you go,the less buggy it is.
Overall very stable now,no problem,you won't regret going to open beta
Appreciate your feedback guys! Its been all positive too so it seems like I will most likely be switching to Open Beta. Now I just need to find a day and time to dedicate the switchover as I've read it requires a clean flash :silly:
They are not that much of a beta
Beta is one step before a release most the time. In these situations there are not RC versions. But there are closed beta and alpha groups. One plus isn't as bleeding edge as they used to be in terms of software. The larger the money involved the further away from bloody edges people/corps get.
I can say the same as others in this thread. I'm always running the betas and they've all been solid for me! Running beta 9 with custom kernel and some magisk modules right now! ?
I use only Beta since..., OnePlus 3. Open beta are Awesome.

Using Beta 9 as my daily driver. No crashes. No unexpected reboots.
Used Beta 8 and the phone would be up for days.
I typically reboot every 3-4 days or after a lot of application updates.
Despite numerous issues posted in the beta threads I have never encountered an issue. I have had battery issues with Google Play Music but I really think its google's app that is causing the problem.
The Beta's are usually just as solid as any release ROM. I dont even consider them Beta to be honest with you. As soon as they come out I update. On Beta 9 right now and it is rock solid.

Appreciate the feedback! So what has the install process been like, coming from stock? I've been doing some reading and to my understanding, it's the following:
Factory reset in TWRP
Wipe data in TWRP*
Flash full OB9 zip
Flash TWRP zip
Reboot system
Reboot recovery
Flash Magisk
*Just not sure if it's wipe data or format data

When going from stock to beta, you actually don't have to wipe anything! It's nice, you won't lose your data. The same can't be said for the reverse though, that requires a format. Keep in mind, formatting userdata wipes EVERYTHING! Your pics, music, apps, everything.
Process for moving to beta to make it simpler.
Flash beta
Flash TWRP zip
Reboot to recovery (don't boot system yet.)
Install custom kernel (optional entirely)
Flash magisk (having TWRP means you NEED magisk to boot the device.)
Boot system!
???
Profit! [emoji6]
In fact beta are the latest stable with new options/features.

If primary functions of a phone are not stable, that should never called a "Beta" version. That is an "Alpha" version of software. Software is called "Beta" after the 2nd letter of the Greek alphabet. Meaning it is the 2nd generation of development. It is the final step before stable release. So while I can't say that you won't find some minor bugs, it would never be expected to find major issues in a true Beta version. All the issues that you are worried about should have been addressed in initial development or Alpha releases. You should continue to be aware and vigilant. But no need to worry that a Beta will be completely unworkable. Good luck!

How did you root the open beta 9? I just lost my root in the progress from tmobile to international version
you would be more likely to find bugs in a stable release of a custom rom.

You have to unlock the bootloader in .11 first. Once you do that, then you can do the open beta upgrade. I'm on a T-Mobile 6T and I'm currently on beta 9 with root.

I'd hold off a bit. From previous experience the first release or two are unstable (crashes, excessive battery drain, etc) and functionality is poor. Unless you got some free time on your hands and just want to quick check it out, but I'd def anticipate downgrading back to 10. Once the initially one is out they churn out more stable releases fairly quickly.
