Hello.
I have installed Lineage OS 15.1-20180806-NIGHTLY-cheeseburger a few days ago on my Oneplus 5. Yesterday I got an OTA and by the system I was told that it will automatically boot into recovery and try to install itself or I have to install it manually if there is no compatible recovery.
When it booted into recovery there was an error:
This package requires firmware version 5.1.4 or newer. Please upgrade firmware and retry.
Updater process ended with ERROR 7

How can I install new firmware? The only link I have found is https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/firmware-modem-collection-flashable-zips-t3627049 where is firmware with Oxygen OS.
Where can I fin firmware for Lineage OS? I am little bit confused with what actually firmware is...

OS: Lineage OS 15.1-20180806-NIGHTLY-cheeseburger
Phone: ONEPLUS A5000
Android version: 8.1.0
Recovery: TWRP 3.2.1-1

Thank you.

Flash OxygenOS 5.1.4 then you have the new firmware. afterwards you can proceed with LineageOS.

Does OxygenOS 5.1.4 only contain firmware without main OS? Because the filesize of that zip is only about 60MB. Will it wipe my actual OS? Which zip should I pick from the list provided on mentioned link? There are several OOS OBs. What does it mean?

Thanks

That's only the firmware, no rom included as mentioned. Full modem and firmware is around 1.7GB.

This is the one you're looking for https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...llection-flashable-zips-t3627049/post77185007

It should not wipe your os, but make backups as usual.
