One Plus 3 T - Build Update 28_170324 - Update Question

[PIPT]

Hello Community,

I am using a custom recovery (TWRP) and my phone is rooted. Can I update this build update in an official way (like in the picture) or do I need to flash a complete ROM? And if I need to flash a complete ROM, has someone the ROM from the new build update? Wasn't able to find it until now.

Sincerely PIPT

You need to do some reading before trying anything more, because you're likely to brick your phone and then you'll really be in trouble.

Yes, you can download and apply updates without having your data wiped and starting from scratch, but there's a very specific process to do this. Failing to follow the proper steps will result in a bricked device. Save yourself some trouble, and learn more about what you're doing before you make a mistake that you can't fix.

I had the same situation as you. I first tried update with OTA, it downloaded and rebooted and failed.

When it booted again, and ran the OTA updater it downloaded the full ROM package, rebooted and installed fine in twrp.

You should flash full rom over your system like dirty flash, just wipe dalvik and cache after flashing completed, then reboot.
This is safe way if you have root and twrp
Keep in your mind you will lose root and twrp after upgraded, flash them again ?

You also have to flash supersu after dirty flashing the rom. Also I personally wipe Dalvik and cache before flashing the rom. I've never had any issues with the procedure I follow.

If you have a custom recovery or you're rooted never install an OTA. you need to have official recovery to install an OTA. Dirty flashing the full rom is the best way to update.

In addition to the needed files, the thread has detailed instructions on how to update (stock phone vs. rooted with TWRP) in Post #3 of the thread.

Based on this, you must flash the full ROM zip (as opposed to the partial OTA "patch"), if you are rooted. But you should still be able keep your data. But I would still back up what is important to you, before updating. Just common sense to have your important data backed up, especially before large OS updates.

I'm actually about to do this myself today (rooted OOS 4.0.3 to 4.1.1), so I'll let you know how that goes.

You can flash full OTA packages through TWRP. You can't flash the smaller patches, but if it's the full firmware, then TWRP 3.0.4.1 will work just fine. Just be sure to flash SuperSU or Magisk before booting to retain root.

Can I install stock recovery too to make OTA updates and then after the update install TWRP and flash root again? I only ask because I want to do the smaller updates (bug fixes and improvements) too and won't wait for OS and Firmware updates to update my build, because not every little update is listed to get installed manually.

But all in all thx for so many answers

I updated officially with stock recovery and full it's zip, DM Verity has been triggered. It's annoying, anyone else?

edit: fixed it, still annoying that a stock rom tripped it tho.
