Did you wipe before you flash?

You need to flash the full ROM zip, not just the OTA zip.

Ok, its my first time flashing an ota, so bare with me. I got the file from here. First of all, how do I get out of this state? And if thats not the full ROM, where can I get it?

Well, I've never flashed one either. This is my first OnePlus device.
The link you posted is the official one for downloads and the size of the full ROM I understood is 1.5 - 2GB. So it seems you do have the right file.
You could flash the stock recovery img with TWRP - it can be obtained from the same link - and flash the OTA zip with that.
During the flashing process of the OTA you would've lost TWRP anyway, so it's not a big loss.

Little bit confused

I've been looking at the threads but so far I don't believe there's one that tells you what to do if you've actually installed the official OTA update?
I.e. I have an rooted 2.3.4 GT-I9023 with an unlocked bootloader. With no clockwork or anything, as to be honest the last time I used it (on my old HTC DHD) it made my phone unstable (the phone would sometimes boot up of its own accord and stop at the clockwork screen).
Does anyone know how to re-root the NS after it's installed the official OTA update without clockwork?
Thanks
Edit: Downloading the OTA update won't relock the boot-loader will it?

You cannot get root back without a custom recovery. OTA will not relock the bootloader, you'll just lose root and custom recovery.
You need to flash custom recovery using fastboot, then flash superuser to get root back. There are plenty of guides in the stickies describing the process.
Ok, so i'm updated to 2.3.6 but of course have lost root (never had CWM to begin with on this phone). Anyone know where I can DL CWM (i'm assuming it needs to be flashed via platform-tools directory in the android sdk per normal) and the latest su file?
EDIT: nvm, I found the latest CWM and successful flashed (my method was correct). However I've not been able to find the latest superuser.zip to flash yet. Also, I don't know why ppl say to use the market as I don't see how that method can work. I've already got superuser installed from before I updated but that doesn't help me get root. Only flashing the zip from recovery (as I understand it) would. Which renders the market useless in this regard.
/confused
The superuser app checks to see if you have the latest superuser binary and will download and instalk it. Or download superuser from within rom manager.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Ok..the binary update fails (because i don't have root) so it's chicken and egg as far as I can tell.
You where already told. Flash custom recovery via fastboot. Boot into it and flash su.zip Same way it was done prior to update to the ota. Same as it always was and will be.

Turns out that CWM got overwritten by stock android recovery. Re-flashing CWM and then flashing su did the trick. I'm rooted once more!
Thanks for your help kind sir!
Curious as to how to make CWM stick for next time tho *shrug*

You're welcome.
If you stick with a stock ROM then recovery will reflash every time you reboot. To prevent this you can go to system>etc, and change the file install-recovery.init to something else like install-recovery.init.bak.

problem to update to 4.3 with TWRP installed

Hi guys. I have a small question and maybe a problem. I have Nexus 4 rooted with unlocked boot loader, and TWRP installed on it. And as I think with stock rom, because only done everything to root, but nothing else.
Now I have a problem: phone offering to update to 4.3. I press update. It updating and restarting, but after restart it loads TWRP. And what should I do next to finish update? Because I don't know how to make it finish updating with TWRP? What should I do with TWRP to do so? I will be very thankful for any help. Because twice was making update, but still on 4.2.2.
You need to flash the stock recovery because you can't update via OTA with a custom recovery.
You can actually OTA with TWRP.. The device should load into TWRP and complete the update. After the update you will lose TWRP and root

I have seen this in 4.2.2 but not on 4.3. Could you please elaborate a bit more? How did you accomplish this with all these new security policies in 4.3? Thanks.

This is incorrect. The best way to update is download the ota zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
Go to twrp recovery flash the ota zip then SU zip v1.51 reboot done. Now you got 4.3 with root and you won't lose your recovery

Sorry if it sounded incorrect to you but what you just suggested, although it works, it is not an OTA update per definition as far as I know. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

When you get the notification saying there is a update on your phone you select it and it downloads flashes the ota zip. What I said is the same thing except you download it and flash it your self and by doing it this way you can flash the SU zip at the same time and not lose root or recovery.

Thanks, your post above made me read that thread you linked and while it works, it's not a real OTA (notification from Google or OEMs), but let's not fall into semantics here, the thing is it works and does the job pretty much like a real OTA. Thanks again, I learned (and downloaded) something new today

The zip in the link is from Google. When someone got the notification on there phone they posted the link to the zip it would be the same file if you received it on your phone

I know my friend I'm just trying to say that the affirmation "yes, you can update via OTA using a custom recovery" is not valid for someone getting the notification which is the common scenario for most people. Anyways, it's all good :thumbsup:

[OTA][TWRP]cm-12.0-YNG1TAS0YL update TWRP flashable [ZIP]

I made a Twrp flashable zip for the CM12S OTA update
My initial warning was a
WARNINGS
This update is intended to be used to update from CM11S-XNPH05Q to CM-12.0-YNG1TAS0YL,
Users have reported it working via other dirty flashes, so do so at your own risk.
HOWEVER I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKS OR YOUR OWN STUPIDITY
THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING
DOWLOAD HERE
Installation process (this will keep root, and keep twrp installed. if not just flashing the zip will reflash CM recovery each boot)
1) Download the OTA zip above and the latest SuperSU.zip (here)
2) put both files on your internal storage
3) Reboot into TWRP
4) flash the modified OTA and wipe the caches
5) Flash SuperSU.zip
6) reboot

nope, didn't when I flashed it
I heard people saying it would flash over CM11 nightlies and I didn't believe it. Just for grins, I backed up my CM12 nightlies, wiped cache/dalvik-art and gave it a whirl. So far no problems, but later in the day I'm going to do a clean install.

this has the assert lines removed from the updater script, you needed to remove them before on cm11.
Apparently not now, the warnings are because since this has a radio.img and other stuff you can brick your device.
Does this also flash modem etc.?

Hey, whats the difference its having from the one that is other post? There peoples are simply flashing from CM12 nightlies.
So after flashing it with Philz Recovery with the result "t", my Android just doesn't boot up anymore. The boot animation animates for an infinite time. What now?

You can try it at your own risk, there is a small updater script change that allows twrp to flash it. It does flash a radio which can be dangerous. If it's working for them then this should in Theory work, try it at your own risk and let us know if it works

One guy in the other thread already bricked his device trying to flash from Oxygen People flashing from CM11s & CM11/12 nightlies seem to be doing ok except for the occasional FC, probably from not clearing cache/dalvik.

I bricked mine last week going from cm12 back to 11S, luckily I was able to get it up and running by flashing colorOS via their flashtool and then reflashing cm11S again.
These are reasons why I am stressing this so much. I had it happen, it sucks but I got my device back

Been doing this too long to be vague about that kind of stuff, if it was just system and boot img I'd tell you to flash it however you want because there isn't a ton of things that those can mess up

Issues installing OTA update 2.1

Good morning, I am having issues installing the new OTA update for Oxygen OS. I have tried re-flashing the full 2.0.2 zip to get rid of root and then flashing the OTA but I get an error about unexpected contents (see attached screenshot). Any ideas please?

Not sure. I know I had to fully recover with the ROM from this thread. I flashed it in TWRP.
After flashing, I allowed the device to reboot, did minimal setup, and connect to WiFi. Immediately, I got an update to 2.0.2. After update finished, I put the 2.1 OTA zip on my internal storage, rebooted in NOW STOCK recovery, and attempted to install the 2.1 OTA. It said "failed," but when I rebooted it automatically seemed to apply the update and I booted up into 2.1. I don't know if that is helpful, but it's what worked for me. BE AWARE: After doing all this, my bootloader became locked again. I had to boot into system, enable unlock, and re-fastboot oem unlock.

Thanks very much for your reply - I will give this a go tonight when I finish work. Is there a specific ROM you flashed out of the two in the above links? :good:
Best do the newest, but the full 2.1.0 ROM has already been posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62942838&postcount=68
Just tried the above method but unfortunately it failed for me, couldn't get passed 2.0.2 - downloading full zip now.
I have 2.0.1, do i have to update to 2.0.2 first and then to 2.1?
Has anyone had some success?
You can try the above method but it did not work for me, just dirty flash the full 2.1 zip that is now available.

No it is an issue with the current official version of TWRP. The device name was set to oneplus 2 instead of OnePlus 2. When installing the ota it is case sensitive. A new version is currently being worked on 2.8.7.1 which should resolve the issue.
For now it is best to just flash the full rom, It will install.
Thanks
Tried to download a full rom 2.1 and install via TWRP, but get the same message. Any tips where to download a full rom whos working, thanks.

First off, you have the OTA zip from LGE, it only works on stock recovery...

Question. If I'm using TWRP, is it possible to just flash the stock recovery with one of those .IMG flashing apps to regain stock recovery and flash the update? Or would I just be better off waiting for a TWRP flashable zip?

Wait for the TWRP zip if you want to keep recovery. Flashing stock recovery will probably lock you out without an updated TOT as the fuses likely have been changed

Go to the Google Play store.....get an app called Flashify...... Select Recovery Image, select/download TWRP 3.0.2.1 (latest version) and it will flash the recovery to your previously rooted phone in a few seconds. Enjoy. :laugh:
