[Ankit Kabeer]

Just came to know about this. Updating the phone to support security level L1 requires authentic pc connection so phone has to be sent to service center to be updated.

Well id love if they cannuse this opportunity to make a vendor partition as well:laugh:

I love in India so I'll send mine for the update next week as they'll be covering courier cost.
I hope there will be some way in near future where it can be implemented in custom roms.

I won't exchange my unlocked bootloader, twrp and root just for Netflix and other HD content never ever

 

[tommy92tc]

Can it be ported?

I won't exchange my unlocked bootloader, twrp and root just for Netflix and other HD content never ever

+1, i have a OnePlus for that, friendly root, Pure Android (OOS or Custom) :highfive:

Netflix is on my computer or tv, not my Smartphone

They should make something that we could access remotely to update this. Like, c'mon, we are in 2018 they don't our phone in their hands to update it.

So is this done on the hardware level so that it sticks for factory resets and custom ROMs? You know, like official LineageOS 15.1 released today? :fingers-crossed:

And I noticed a few others mentioning locked bootloaders... I don't care if I have to wipe and relock it to have it serviced but will I still get L1 if I unlock and TWRP it again?

This update is needed/convenient for users that are using a not OOS based custom ROM?

I think it's only with an oos based rom possible cause without locked bootloader it won't be possible in my opinion and regarding the statement of oneplus.

 

[Ankit Kabeer]

Don't know what to make of this but here it is anyway if someone is interested

Thanks it seems that you dealed with a support worker with little knowledge.
I dont think the "update" would surfive a full wipe as there are no extra partitions/chips to write to that we ourselfs cannot. If i'm wrong please do tell..

This update will survive wipes, and can surely be used for OOS based ROMs, OnePlus told me that rooting, unlocking the bootloader will not break the update again and that it is going to stick when on custom ROMs (they haven't guaranteed it tho). The reason why we, users cannot do the update ourselves, is because of Googles requirements - the executing PC must be authenticated to to generate special keys, which are unique to each and every device. It is inconvenient, but it's the only way OP can execute the update.
