(noob) How to flash the downloaded update file?

[aghatak]

I have downloaded the open beta update file (1.45 gb). But I don't know how to update my phone to that. Can anyone please guide me through the procedure?

Just follow the instructions from the thread to install from stock recovery.

Imo, the beta path is more for experienced members that are going to find bugs and able to take logs of the issues and send them to OnePlus for diagnosis. Best bet for new users to use stable path.

I updated from 4.0.3 to beta 4 via local, but now I want to go back because of the battery drain problem. I tried several times via adb sideload to flash the zip but I keep getting the same error <cannot read 4.0.4.zip> over and over again. Even after installing the drivers, I got a little yellow exclamation triangle near the driver in device manager. Honestly I'm starting to give up, I think I wiped my phone more than 5 times in order to flash via sideload, only to get the same error continuously. as far as I know, I cannot go back to 4.0.3 via local from beta 4 right?
Please help...

Did you already redownload the zip?
