I saw that many ppl have problems to flash the new 3.5.3 rom with a rooted device and TWRP.
This is how I dirty flashed it successfully without losing personal data (internal storage).
It's pretty easy actually.

If you have already installed the 3.5.2 Community Build and the modified TWRP:
  1. Download the full zip 3.5.3 rom from the official OnePlus 3 Website: http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-3/
  2. Copy the full zip to the sdcard
  3. Copy SuperSU and Xposed(if needed) to the scard (can be found in the attachements)
  4. Boot into TWRP and install the full 3.5.3 zip (no data wiping needed)
  5. After the full zip installation is done, immediately install SuperSU and Xposed (if needed)
  6. Wipe Cache/Dalvik after SuperSu and Xposed is installed
  7. Reboot System
NO data will be lost during this process!

If you have an older version than 3.5.2 Community Build:
  1. Download the TWRP Recovery 3.0.2-19 from the attachements or from the original post of eng.stk in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68691560&postcount=56 and flash it via "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (or however you prefer to install the recovery)
  2. Download the full zip 3.5.3 rom from the official OnePlus 3 Website: http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-3/
  3. Copy the full zip to the sdcard
  4. Copy SuperSU and Xposed(if needed) to the scard (can be found in the attachements)
  5. Boot into TWRP and install the full 3.5.3 zip (no data wiping needed)
  6. After the full zip installation is done, immediately install SuperSU and Xposed (if needed)
  7. Wipe Cache/Dalvik after SuperSu and Xposed is installed
  8. Reboot System
NO data will be lost during this process!

I can't guarantee that this is working for you, so make a backup first.
For me everything is working just perfectly, there is no need to reflash TWRP after the update, it's still there!
Every single setting is just like before the update.

Nevermind. I'll just reinstall all of my apps using titanium backup

Ok, so I would like to Update the Modem only. So it should be enough to Update like you discribed without step 6 and following. After step 5 Modem should be updated and recovery from nandroid /System /data /Boot can start?

If you only want to flash the modem you can do so in fastboot. I'm in the process of uploading all the necessary .img's to update to the latest 3.2.5 without having to flash jenky recoveries that won't flash anythings else ect... Just give me a few and I link you to them. It's as easy as "fastboot flash modem". ;)

The link on the OnePlus forums says file trashed by the owner - can someone post a mirror to the TWRP flashable file with the fix?
The link is actually still working for me, i posted a direct link in the main post, and also added a guide if you can't download the modified zip for some reason.

Modified 3.5.2 means? @Kartoffl

Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
It means that the updater-script file is modified (actually deleted only the first line) to prevent an error7. this file can be found in META-INF -> com -> google -> android -> updater-script


I m on freedom os 1.6.1 based on 3.5.1.......
Should i use same procedure?

I had TWRP 3.0.2 and rooted Oxygen 3.2.4.
I made the following:
- flashed TWRP 3.0.2-19 with TWRP to recovery .img
- rebooted to recovery (I am in TWRP 3.0.2.1 now)
- flashed the full original Oxygen 3.5.2 ROM
- flashed systemless SuperSu 2.78
- flashed xposed arm64
- wiped dalvik/art/cache
- reboot to system
all my previus apps works...
