Okay thanks this may take a while so i hope it works and do you also have a link for an gapps package?

There was some kind of error when i tried installing the update i think it was E: script unreconized or something and it only installed radio

Couldn't update Installation problem with august update

So this week i hadn't time enough to install the august update since my phone is rooted so i decided to do it now. What i did before trying to download the update :
1.Deleted all magisk modules that i had then rebooted
2.Unistalled magisk using restore image then rebooted
3.Went to sys update downloaded and it says installation failed
What do to? I'm not rooted now and i don't have twrp installed.
PS. don't want to install it via fastboot/miflash

Follow this guide in future. https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#ota-installation-tips
To fix your problem now, find a stock boot image for your update version you are currently on and flash it.

If you don't want to use Miflash (Why ?) you can boot temporary TWRP and flash .zip here:

I'm facing same issue and I was following the guide.

Same here, can't install set Ota, even after remove magisk.
Other thing, cell won't show screen to put pin to boot, previous pin of sim so I think encryption is disable!? Any idea?

sideload installation keeps failing.

I'm trying to revert my oneplus 5 back to stock. I done all the steps got stock recovery installed. When I attempt to sideload original oos through adb sideload it keeps failing at 46%. Any advice would be very appreciated.. I've read so much and tried so many different things. I am completely stuck.

I got the phone from a friend and it has been completely wiped and formatted through TWRP. He did have a nougat custom ROM on it prior to that.
I tried to sideload to it with TWRP and it wouldn't work. I followed directions from a website that explains how to revert your op5 back to stock using stock recovery. I was trying to put the original oxygen OS ROM on it that came with the phone using the stock recovery and adb and fastboot. I'm thinking maybe I possibly downloaded the wrong OOS version. Who knows. Lol .
It had nougat Pure FusionOS 7.1.2. encrypted...SuperSU root and TWRP blue spark.
Now all it has is stock recovery with No OS
Would like to get OOS pie on it eventually.

You need to flash 5.1.4 at first to create the vendor partition like described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003 then you can flash 5.1.7.

There's no need of sideload anything when you flashed twrp through fastboot. Just copy the roms on the device and flash through twrp

Can't copy anything to phone. says there's no system and I even tried sideloading rom and said it corrupt
I think it's done. It's beyond me.. I've read so much trying to get this thing fixed I can't even see straight.. lol

It lets me copy small files over like magisk v18. It works. When I attempt to copy 5.1.4 rpm over it says device stopped not responding. Crazy

You need to mount internal storage, not system. Is your twrp updated to latest codeworkx?

I'm redownloading 5.1.4
I tried to copy over another ROM I had and it started to copy over so it is the file that was corrupted.
Thanks again I really appreciate it ?

Second to latest... I have

Latest one wouldn't boot.

It won't install no vendor to mount or something. I'm done... Thanks for everything anyway.

When I reboot to recovery. This what it says.

You have the same? The vendor partition will be created with 5.1.4.
You can go(in twrp) to mount - > vendor. But the recovery should mount it automatically when it's created by flashing 5.1.4.

Yeah that's the same one I'm using I'm thinking maybe I don't have TWRP setup right is there any settings I'm supposed to go into?
Even when I check off everything in advanced wipe and do a wipe it comes up fine all the way to the end and then it says failed to mount vendor (invalid argument)
I liked everything again in TWRP I went to flash 514 and it works all the way up to the end and fails to mount vendor invalid argument.
Somehow I need to activate the vendor partition or something.
well I'm going back to reading like a madman and figure out if anybody else had this problem online. Lol thanks

Hello,
What is you current twrp recovery (file name)?
What is your magisk version?
Is your storage encryped or decrypted?
What new update(version) is shown in ota?
To which version do you want to update?
It's not that easy, you need to check some things.

If you unlock the bootloader you'll see that warning message, that's normal!
Please flash this twrp https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UlTftbe6wooAs4Fp0cjwXlOKmfQHgdfL/view?usp=drivesdk
Official ones are not the best choice. Then you boot to your new twrp and flash magisk uninstaller, then flash from the .ota folder the downloaded (more than 1GB) oxygenOS 5.1.4 and after it magisk 17.1 before boot.
Report back what's happening and watch the twrp log carefully for errors!

That's the issue with encrypted storage, it's recommended to remove screen lock/pattern/code before such updating processes(see root guide). Go to twrp and format data(where you need to verify the format, not only wipe), that solves the issue.

You cannot take ota updates like on non rooted devices with custom recovery:
-you need to download the full rom rather than ota update file when system updater detects root
-you need to follow some specific installation instructions https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...xygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003/post72799040 otherwise you'll lost twrp, root and maybe your decrypted storage won't let you boot your device
That's what I mean

I still don't 100% follow:
For example, when I flashed Lineage, it explicitly refers to "custom recovery" in the install instructions: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/cheeseburger/install
Before I started using my phone, I installed su: https://download.lineageos.org/extras

I have received OTA from Lineage about 2 or 3 updates now. When I choose to install an OTA, it will reboot into TWRP and complete the upgrade.
What did I do differently, that's allowing me to get these updates opposed to what OP is experiencing? Or is what Lineage is doing, is downloading the full image and Oxygen is not?
(I realize the OP is about Oxygen, but I'm trying to make sense of the differences in OTA updates) - Apologies for hijacking the thread, I'm genuinely curious. Thanks strongst for trying to explain!

TWRP Error installing zip file

Hello,
I got the error " error installing zip file " while a try to flash oos 11.1.2.2.
I try sideload instead by it Failed instantly. I tried to format data and wipe without any change. I also tried to boot other version of TWRP (I currently use a custom version of TWRP 3.6.0), but I always got a Crash Dump error.
I was able to install rom with this version of TWRP before and I have wanted to install PixelExperience but I have forgotten to flash oos 11.1.2.2 before and i think is that witch broken TWRP.
I also tried to reinstall TWRP.
Any ideas on this?

I had that error before from a bad copy of oos. I would download it again and copy to USB again if that's what you're using. Also use this twrp to fastboot boot it works I actually just had to do it a min ago.

Also, shoud I use "flash current TWRP" before flashing the ROM?
