Hi all,
I once tried to update my rooted onePlus 5 (Magisk) to the latest oxygen os version, and lost everything. (with a corrupted Nandroid backup haha)
Since then, I've been pretty careful not to update anything, OTA isn't working anyway.
But now is about time to update it all.
I have flashfire, and Oxygen Updater (currently downloading OOS 5.1.4)
My question, before I go any further is:
If I download ALL the updates on Oxygen Updater and then flash them with flashfire (flash ZIP & OTA --> Select downloaded firmware --> proceed), I should be able to gradually flash all the new update until OOS 9.0.2, Keep root, and more importantly, Keep ALL my data, apps and all.
Is that correct? Does anyone have a proper flashfire walkthrough?
I'm a bit hesitant as someone seems to have had issues with Magisk as per below source's comment

Thanks!
To upgrade from Oreo non-treble to latest
- From TWRP, flash OxygenOS 5.1.4, Magisk and all the other mods and boot up once (to create vendor partition)
- From TWRP, flash OxygenOS 9.0.8, Magisk, all the other mods and a Pie-capable TWRP

And that will NOT erase any of my data?
Is it not possible to do it with flashfire? I don't have TWRP anymore I think..
Thanks!

I actually don't know what flashfire is.
You will not lose data in theory, but it's a good thing to make a backup

Flash the Oxygen OS 3.1.0 signed flashable zip
Wipe data & caches via TWRP
Flash the TWRP 3.0.2-2 img via TWRP
Reboot recovery via TWRP
Flash the Oxygen OS 3.1.0 signed flashable zip again
Flash one of the modified SuperSU zips
All the files you need are in post #1 of the Oxygen OS mirrors thread.
You can try updating without wiping data but you may well have issues afterwards.

No issues if you wipe data.
It's safe if you follow the instructions.
Hello,
i am using oxygen os 3.1 with TWRP recovery. No root no modifications other than TWRP.
Is it possible to update without factory reset to the latest oxygen os without losing my custom recovery TWRP?
I read about signed flash able zips - but i am not sure on how to proceed.
Guidance is appreciated !
Thank You

You want to upgrade to latest 3.5.5 ? You'll have to wait until signed flashable zip for 3.5.5 is made. For now 3.1.0 is the latest flashable zip.
Check this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/rom-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-roms-ota-t3209863
Thank you,
so i will wait for the full signed flashable zip.
still - my questions remain - i do not completely understand this :
Note: Since OTA incremental update zips will fail on rooted devices or devices with modifications to system files, it's not possible to use these to update without reverting back to completely stock, unrooted first.
To update you must either wait for the new, full, signed flashable zip to appear (usually a few weeks after the OTA update) or use the following workaround:
Boot into TWRP recovery
Flash the latest full signed flashable zip
Flash the new OTA incremental update zip
Flash the SuperSU zip
Reboot
Is it possible with the full signed flashable zip to keep twrp and my settings ?
Thank You

As it says you can't use incremental update zips if you're rooted or has a modified system. You can either Flash the latest full signed flashable zip & then Flash the new OTA incremental update zip (without rooting) OR just wait for the Full signed flashable zip & then flash it(whether you're rooted or not). As for now neither "Incremental" nor "full" signed zip exists for 3.5.5.
And Yes. You won't lose TWRP.
To understand more about "Incremental" & "Full" update packages, read this -> https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/tools.html
you can flash full rom zip and without restarting flash twrp image in twrp itself, its kinda tricky but it works
3.5.5 Full Signed Flashable Zip's now available. Check the thread I sent before.

I was on 3.1.0 with Hybrid recovery and root before the OTA for 3.5.5 came through. It installed itself via the ota (1.2gb) and when it was done I was back on default recovery and no root...which i fixed in few minutes..So I am now on the latest OS 3.5.5 with Hybrid Recovery and Root..everything is perfect! No network drops so far e.t.c
Edit: I didn't have to unroot for the OTA to work..It just did. Also didn't lost any data. all apps +data still intact
Thank You B!Gguy.
Signed flashable worked flawless
Hi,
I have Oneplus 5 with TWRP 3.1.1 running 4.5.13. I want update it.
Should I first update TWRP to latest version?
Can I wipe everything and straightly flash to latest OxygenOS and then to LineageOS?
When should I flash/instal Gapps and Magisk? Right after flashing LineageOS or I need to first need to restart it?
Thanks for help.

At first it's necessary to update to 5.1.4 oxygenOS and then 5.1.5. Directly to 5.1.5, isn't working for most people. You can install latest blu spark twrp recovery before or after the os update.
After this you're ready to to install lineageos, gapps, magisk in this order.
It may be useful to format internal storage, since it can be blocking the boot.
Good luck :good:
Thanks very much
So I have a problem with the Oneplus 5. I got the xXx Nolimits ROM that's based on OxygenOS 5.1.3 and installed the Magisk xXx Nolimits 4.3 aswell.
I want to upgrade it to 9.0.4, but it won't do it with TWRP 3.2.3-0. Haven't tried it with TWRP 3.3.0.
Could it possibly work, if I go back to full stock and upgrade it via OTA and then flashing it again via TWRP 3.3.0?
The vendor partition is the problem here, I think.
Thanks for any help!

You guessed right. You need to flash stock 5.1.4 OxygenOS (which will create the vendor partition).
Then you can update to 9.0.4/9.0.5(remove the compatibility.zip from the rom files) either with OTA or manually flashing(see official oxygenOS rom threads for 9.0.5)then you can update the twrp to 3.3.x.
After this you can flash XXX magisk mod 4.3 onwards as it's a magisk module.

That's exactly how to do it. Use an Oreo era Codeworkx TWRP to flash a full OOS ROM. You have to have used 5.1.4 to create the Vendor partition so flash that. Let it overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery, and then OTA up to latest OOS. Fastboot flash latest Codeworkx TWRP and you're done.
Uninstall Magisk before you begin.

Exactly this was my plan. Thanks for the help. I struggled with this for literally months!
Hi, my device is currently without an OS after a full wipe. I have fastboot access and latest 3.6 TWRP recovery.
Can someone please share the link to last updated Android 10 OxygenOS stock ROM and how to flash it?
Also, how can I root via Magisk after installing OOS?

Curious why you want a10? The latest oos is a11. You just flash the zip for oos in twrp. It will replace your recovery so always reflash twrp after if you want it. Magisk can also be installed from twrp.

Wasn't my device so had to go with A10. Was able to install OS, recovery and root using THIS thread.
Thanks for the response anyway!
