[Q] Lollipop OTA and TWRP versions - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am just installing the Rogers Lollipop OTA and wondering if the older TWRP versions 2.6.3.4 still work or do I need to use a newer version 2.8.5.0 or something.
OK, finished the OTA, flashed TWRP 2.8.5.0 and rerooted with SU zip 2.43.
All Good
Thanks

Custom recovery for EMUI 3.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1)

I'm currently on stock recovery but I used to have TWRP before Lollipop. Not sure if it works for 5.1.1.
Can someone confirm which version TWRP/any custom recovery I should get?
EDIT: sorry for potentially wasting your time, I just installed 2.8.7.0 TWRP and it seems to work fine.

I would recommend using 3.0.0-0 version, because it has some bug fixes and an integrated emui updater so you won't have to flash the stock boot image again if you just want to update or downgrade.

Question about new Oos 4.0 flashing

I saw that the 4.0 version of Oxygen OS was available with a full version to flash. I have finally recieved my OP3T today, got TWRP installed with supersu root as well. Will I ruin anything if I flash the new 4.0 nougat version? I haven't gotten xposed installed yet (wanted to check out DPI scaling on nougat first), will that be possible after flashing 4.0 as well?
thanks in advance, so excited about this phone!
Hi
You can flash the zip using TWRP. Just flash SuperSU afterwards. Xposed won't work.
I've done that now, got nougat working fine, with twrp and SuperSU but I can't get the dm-verity warning to go away. I've tried flashing the stock recovery and then reflashing twrp and superSU, but no luck so far

Nougat update: will I lose recovery and/or root?

OOS 4 just rolled out in Italy so I'd like to update asap, but I can't lose root privileges or twrp. What's the fastest way to do this?
Thanks
Update TWRP to 3.03-1. download the OTA and latest supersu and copy to phone.
Boot I to recovery flash OTA. And supersu then reboot
I followed links in this article
https://www.xda-developers.com/oxygen-os-4-0-2-and-new-open-betas-released-for-the-oneplus-3-and-3t/
Just reflashed 4.02 and instead of SuperSU installed Magiskv10 so can say this also works
Ok guys I figured it out, it simply has been a while since I last flashed roms...
I only dirty flashed 4.0.2 zip over 3.5, then flashed supersu again.
Everything good
Thanks guys!

Which version of TWRP?

After last update of OS lost root.
Had to install TWRP again, after install got into bootloop, flushed OP recovery again but had no access to recovery at all.
Finally flashed latest version of Oxygen-OS, 4.1.6 running on Android 7.1.1
I understand sometimes newer versions of TWRP might not work well with latest OS
All this said.... what would be the safest yet most up to date TWRP version for the OP3T?
3.1.1.0 i believe or you can flash Blu-Spark TWRP
I'm using Blu Spark's TWRP latest and it works wonderfully with OOS / FreedomOS v4.1.6 It's TWRP v3.1.1-x Blu_Spark v37 for OP3 & OP3T
TWRP v3.1.1-x Blu_Spark working with both custom and stock rom

Does anyone have the TWRP recovery compatible with firmware version SMR7?

Does anyone have the TWRP recovery compatible with firmware version SMR7?
I lost the TWRP recovery after updating to the latest version, trying to root the phone again.
