[ROM] OxygenOS Open Beta 9 (Nougat) Update and Installation!!

Hi everyone,
We appreciate everyone’s feedback from the OxygenOS Open Beta 8. With your help, we have optimized and improved several key areas.
The changes include:
Added Expanded Screenshots
Shelf Design Optimizations
General UI Optimizations
DPI Optimizations
Battery Performance Optimizations
Stability and Performance Optimizations
General bug fixes
Please visit the download page here:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_openbeta_9/
If you’ve already flashed a previous Open Beta build, you will receive this update via OTA. If you haven’t, you will need to flash this build by ADB sideload. Your data may transfer, but there is always a possibility of losing personal data, so be sure to backup all of your important data before flashing this build. As stated before, once you flash the Open Beta, you’ll continue getting Open Beta OTAs.
Please follow the link below for the UI/UX experience survey. We’d really appreciate a few minutes of your time, as it will help us make OxygenOS even better. One last thing: this is a limited program, so we may disable this download link once we receive enough feedback.
- Feedback on UI/UX: https://goo.gl/forms/hEqMPq9U9QNrxvhc2
Note: If you flash this Open Beta build, you’ll receive Open Beta OTAs (but not official OTAs). You’ll need to manually (clean) flash back to our official builds to continue receiving official OTAs. Rolling back to official OxygenOS versions require wiping data and cache.
Thank you for your patience and as always, we look forward to hearing your continued feedback in the bug reporting forum here: https://forums.oneplus.net/feedback/.
Thank you for helping us build a better OxygenOS.
Never settle.

Installation Methods
Before we start:This method is only for the OnePlus 3
Follow the steps correctly otherwise you may brick your device. I am not responsible for any damage to your device, please ensure that your device is at least 60% charged to prevent the accidental shutdown in-between the update process.
Downloads:
Beta 9 Full Zip Official Download
Compatible Stock Recovery
********************* For Stock Non Rooted Users with Stock Recovery *****************
1. Download the appropriate OTA/Full Zip from above link and place it in the root folder.
2. Navigate to Settings > System Updates > Settings Icon > Local Upgrade & Select the OTA File
3. Once selected system would prompt upgrade now
4. Select upgrade now and system would reboot in stock recovery and flash the OTA
5. The installer would itself flash the OTA and reboot the device.
The Device will reboot and your OnePlus 3 is now running on the latest OxygenOS firmware & OS.
PS: The first boot may take some time so keep calm and wait for it to boot.
* After flash is successful go back to recovery and a wipe of cache is recommended.
* If in any case flash is unsuccessful the system would prompt you to download the full 1.4GB zip. So download that and follow the same process as above.
************************ For Rooted Users with TWRP Recovery ************************
Download Beta 9 Full Zip
1. Download the Beta 9 Full Zip on your phone internal memory.
2. Download the Latest SuperSU SR5
4. Reboot To TWRP (Modified 28) & Take a Nandroid of your existing ROM
5. Go to Wipe > Advance Wipe > Select Dalvik & Cache & Swipe to Wipe
6. Install Menu > Select Beta 9 Rom Zip > Swipe to Flash
7. Wipe Dalvik & Cache
8. Flash SuperSU to maintain root
9. Reboot System and Enjoy the Beta 9 Update
* Do not flash Xposed as not compatible with 7.0 builds yet
If you come from a custom rom, i recommend a clean flash and make sure you use the modified TWRP 3.0.2-1.28 as the official one is incompatible with the CB firmware yet.
PS: The first boot may take some time so keep calm and wait for it to boot and the system would boot twice due to flash of supersu so keep calm
PS: Rooted users may either flash the full Beta 9 Zip or they need to flash the previous full zip beta 8 first to overwrite system partition followed by the relevant Beta 9 OTA zip for a successful flash else just the OTA flash would fail with error 7 in TWRP

I was on TWRP (modded) and rooted. Installed the update (OTA) and now my phone just reboots to TWRP no matter what I do (I have even made a factory reset and reinstalled Beta8)

You can't install the ota update on TWRP recovery. You need the stock one.
Try reflashing TWRP recovery via fastboot and then flash open beta 9(not the ota)

Download the recovery at the bottom of the page.
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_openbeta_9/
Copy it onto your phone with the this Open Beta 9 package.
Start up TWRP, format /dalvik, /cache, /system, /data.
Flash the Open Beta and clean the caches if asked.
Flash the original recovery from TWRP as recovery image, and restart your phone afterwards.
Your phone may boot into the new recovery, then show "Update failed", then do another restart, but after that mine was working.

Thank you for your response.

flashing with twrp will result in recovery booting loop. after downloading ota simply reboot to recovery, download oneolusrecovery from ob9 page. transfer it to phone. select install image in twrp, select reocover, flash as recovery and reboot to recovery. itll show updating.. takes about 20mins

Will modified twrp also not work?

Really? The modified twrp doesnt work? I,ve read the thread in oneplus forum and some are saying it worked for them. :/
Edit: anyways, im on modified twrp, rooted, beta 8, can i dirty flash beta 9?

As simple as this

Dirty flashed over OB8, everything working fine!
Edit:
Using Modified TWRP

Dirty flashed over OB8, so far no issue's.
Did flash TWRP img after update in TWRP (just to be sure), first boot took a while tho.
Anyone tried supersu?

I have this from yesterday. I was on 3.2.8 from OnePlus site, dated 12.05.16.
Clean flash with TWRP 3.0.2-1.28, thanks to eng_stk. Flash the rom & SuperSU SR5 (if you want root). Refalsh recovery 3.0.2-1.28. Reboot to recovery. If it not works reflash recovery.
Then reboot to system.
I did not flash any mods. All it's ok.

Yep. Just make sure to have the full update and not the OTA one. Also, just in case make sure you have the TWRP img and super-su on your phone's memory to be able to flash them again

Any mirror for this? Full zip is downloading really slow and I've already stucked on twrp after OTA Need to dirty flash the full zip, but it is going to dowload around Christmas with that speed...

OnePlus 3T stuck in Recovery/Fastboot after trying to flash Lineage 16

Hi,
tried going from stock OxygenOS (rooted) to LineageOs 16 according to the LineageOS Instructions.
No dice.
After flashing successfully, including nano gapps, TWRP (3.2.3-1) tells me that there is no OS.
Reboot ends in the bootloader.
Tried flashing stock OxygenOS and it only shows me the OxygenOS boot animation.
Any Ideas on how to clean that up?
thx

Please clarify - did you do the following steps from the installation instructions using the latest official TWRP?
4. Go back to return to main menu, then tap Wipe.
5. Now tap Format Data and continue with the formatting process. This will remove encryption as well as delete all files stored on the internal storage.

In that case, I strongly suggest that you use this version of TWRP https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603866112
The official version of TWRP has a bug: if you decrypt the phone, you end up with a broken encryption header.
(Lots of discussion about this in https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...covery-official-twrp-touch-recovery-t3742894)
After installing TWRP, tap the Format Data button in the Wipe menu. This will reformat and fix the encryption header. You can then reinstall OOS.

I got OOS installed that way.
But only after I ignored the "No OS Installed" message in TWRP.
This killed TWRP, so flashed that again, then (after the wipe sequence) LOS 16, Gapps and Magisk and I am back to the "No OS installed" message and a reboot ends at the fastboot menu.

So what is the best course of action now.
Stick with OOS until the next build or flash LOS 15.1 and then upgrade (or is this again a complete reflash)?

It's a major release, so you should do a full wipe anyway while you're installing lineage 16.0, stick with 15.1, or OOS.
Don't waste too much reinstalling everything, wait for lineage release.

Glad to here you're up and running again.
It's odd that you get the no OS message in TWRP, yet the phone boots.
See if deleting both the .twrps file and the theme folder (if it exists) in the TWRP directory helps .

A regular reboot in TWRP works fine, it was just after the Install step where I had seen that message.

Thanks a lot for your hint regarding the TWRP version.
I was stuck with "E1001: Failed to update system image" and "Error 7" on every custom or stock ROM I tried to install with TWRP 3.3.1-0 after my encrypted data partition got corrupted on latest update.
Formating data with TWRP 3.2.1 fixed the issue and I was finally able to reinstall the stock ROM.

Download os karnel + os ( you can find that in xda forum)
Then flash karnel and os
It will work
You should use usb otg

Hi all,
I have got another problem with the nightly updates since modem firmware changed to 9.0.4 in July . This is just the date, don't know if it is related to that.
Since then I get the common hints about "new nightly available".
-> download -> install.
"Preparing update" -> Reboot.
Getting into TWRP 3.3.1.0 -> Patching all fine. -> Reboot
Enter PIN to start Android -> starting Android
Lineage running circles but longer than normal -> Back to reboot and TWRP Main Menu
That's it. This happens at every update since then.
What I do then is
Wiping cache and system, install lineage-os from the lineage update directory, install gapps reboot.
Data and all programs are still there with all of there setting except permissions. So I have got to start more or less every app to grant their permissions and the system is more or less back to normal.
Any idea how to fix that or where to get some more information what is happening during startup that the system cannot settle?

Update to DP4 from Official 9.5.11 with root and without data loss

Tried and tested method to update to DP4 with twrp and root working.
If you update to DP4 directly before installing twrp you will be stuck without twrp.
You need USB pendrive and otg for it.
Steps
1. Update your phone to latest available official version.
2. Boot to fastboot and install TWRP (of course you need boot loader unlocked)
3. Flash DP4 from Thumbrive (keep it in external storage only)
4. Flash Recivery TWRP.zip from thumb drive
5. Reboot recovery
5. Flash DP4 again followed by Twrp.zip
6. Reboot recovery and flash magisk and any other mods you need.
7. Reboot
If you followed every steps correctly you will have working TWRP and root on DP4.
I am using it since DP2 and never had issues.
Note. Since Q diesnt allow twrp to read internal storage you will need usb drive for flashing mod also.
I have uploaded a video with DP4 Features if you want to know about its features.
New features
1. Volte working
2. Names of themes changed
3. System UI settings changed
4. Fingerprint faster
5. Overall phone is faster now.
Removed google assistant swipe shortcut.

Too late for me I currently stuck with DP4 with no TWRP. any idea how can I get TWRP again. The fastboot command isn't working anymore.

You need to use msm tool for reverting to stock
Or Stock reset rom for downgrade.
Then follow my steps

Is there any way to downgrade without MSM tool? I have a Mac. Local update doesn't work. Thanks for the reply.

Try MP version from DP Version package via local upgrade.
This will be available once the official thread is created by oneplus.
Or you may try DP to MP version for DP3

I was able to install twrp and magisk on dp3, i think you can do it with dp4 aswell.
I just fastboot flash boot twrp.img , it says slot a ok, slot b fail.
So i switched active slots and reboot, which boots to twrp installed on other slot. While in twrp (which cannot access data) i installed twrp through adb, switched active slot and installed twrp again. Same for magisk 19.4 installer.
After installing twrp and magisk to both slots i switched active to B and rebooted, which took me to rooted dp4.
Hope that made any sense
Oh and while in twrp, i used twrp installer (latest) to install twrp to both slots.

why do you possibly need to flash the rom and twrp TWICE? shouldn't the usual upgrade process for a rom if you are already rooted still work?
Flash the Q rom
flash twrp
reboot to recovery
flash magisk?
don't understand the reason to flash both twrp and the rom 2 times as posted in the instructions
regardless, i followed the exact steps and it didn't work for me. i boot to a plain black screen and can't get past it. any ideas?

Can you elaborate on step 2? Do we flash twrp.zip the same as the other steps? or do we flash the twrp-installer?

1. Downloaded the 9.5.11 update from Oxygen Updater (DONT REBOOT)
2. Went to Settings\System\System Update and click on the wheel on upper right corner.
3. Select Local Upgrade, then install the update (DONT REBOOT)
*DO NOT REBOOT after applying the update.
4. Remove Magisk modules that may cause problems (Call Recording is one of them)
5. Launch Magisk, and click the first "install"
6. Choose the "Install to inactive slot (OTA)" option
7. Reboot once completed
8. Download TWRP (from another location) and then go into Magisk and install it, but ***DO NOT REBOOT!!***
9. Install Magisk again. Click Install, then select "Direct Install" option.
10. Reboot
Will this work for DP4 as well????

I don't think so - what I've read on Oneplus page, when you hit restart (after installing magisk) it will reboot and during that erase all data. then reboot again to system. So you cannot restart via system updater,, you need use TWRP to flash it, so i would stick to the 1st post instructions (including 2-times install t ocover both slots). But hey, ican be wrong, you can try and let us know, it would be easier for sure

Is this the only way to get root on DP4?

Simple way
Info for TMobile gm1915 on 9.5.11
You must have magisk installed.
Update through local upgrade method and don't reboot. Then go to magisk select modules hit + and find twrp installer install twrp and then choose install magisk choose install to inactive slot. Then reboot.
Data does not get wiped but fingerprints need to be added again.
Also twrp decryption does not work so best to keep otg USB with you with whatever you may want to flash.
You don't have to flash to both slots it's not necessary but do as you wish.

Hi, I followed all the steps in OP and didnt. using latest twrp and magisk 19.3 (stable)
Now my phone is still starting its first boot about 15 minutes.
Update:
Probably the problem: installed magisk modules.
Anyway after some research default twrp is'nt mounfing local storage. The latest custom TWRP is! So no issues with USB Anymore, just use local storage like u used to do! This is actualy the only way to use the Magisk uninstaller because you need to mount data for uninstalling magisk modules.

Anyway it took me a view hours of testing but now it works smooth! ?

Complete setup of Lineage OS

Since in my last post I made a complete mess out of my first time trying to root my K20 and install lineage I wanted to my make a separate post so that I can list all the steps I need to take to correctly setup my phone how I want it.
What I actually want
A rooted device
Lineage OS
Minimal excess files (A clean Install)
Current Steps
Unlock and flash recovery
Backup
Format Data! (It's important if you come from Miui)
Install Q Firmware + vendor
Install LineageOS followed by gapps
Reboot into system and setup device.
Reboot into recovery and flash magisk
Profit???
Feel free to tell me how stupid I am and what I need to add to the list or steps I should take to make this process better.
I also dont know if its possible to get recovery and rom on android 10 versions.
Thanks

Did these steps not work?

They may work as it but I was just wondering if anyone could go into more detail or if there was a better approach and from what Kollachi said there clearly is a better way that what I said.

Since I'm in stock ROM and haven't ever flashed AOSP ROM in this phone I'll just back off lol

I like the details steps but I have a few questions.
(Unlock and flash recovery) From what I can tell there are two recovery's Orange fox and TWRP
(Format data) Just format data or are there other sections I should format/wipe
(Install Q Firmware + Vendor) I have no idea what Q firmware is or what vendor you are referring to
(Install Lineage + gapps) Is there a specific version from the Mi 9T pro since the official site doesn't list it

Any of the two recoveries will work. Q firmware means Android Q. Wile data/cache dalvik that's it. Regarding firmware, there's a clear topic of Lineage OS in K20 Pro forum which is still in unofficially state

1. You can take what you want. Orangefox is based on TWRP.
2. Format data is needed if you come from miui. If you did it you are good to go. But it wouldn't be false to wipe system, dalvic, cache
3.https://downloads.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/raphael/ --> Take 10.4.6.0 or 10.4.8.0 (Android 10 = Q)
4. No there is no specific version.

I would recommend the latest TWRP from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568
The dev is an official TWRP dev, so this version, or something very close to this, is likely to become official in the future.
OrangeFox is a heavily modified TWRP and has a lot of added functionality specific to MIUI. If you wanted to stay on stock MIUI, but debloat and have root, etc. then OF would be the better choice, as it has functionality that lets it play nicely with MIUI (it can remain installed when OTA updates are installed)
As someone new to flashing on Android, I would suggest downloading a 10.4.x fastboot ROM from the site I pointed to in your other post, then follow the same procedure to flash the ROM.
Make your choice based on Kollachi's info and what's important to you (HD Netflix - choose Indian, or a working NFC - choose Chinese)
However you MUST change the flash option to 'clean all'.
At this point you've got a nice squeaky clean starting point.
Boot into the ROM at least once, though it's not necessary to go through all the setup.
After that follow Kollachi's steps but you can now ignore the step to flash vendor and firmware as it's all part of the fastboot ROM already flashed.
Wipe cache and dalvik, format data.
There is no official LOS for this phone yet. Hopefully it will go official in the future.
For now just get the current Android 10 based LOS from here.

When ever I think I have the process memories and I follow the steps on my screen I still somehow **** this up and I cant understand how.
My current steps include
Flash the fastboot with the ROM that you linked me in my first post
Flash the recovery with TWRP (Every time I have then tried going back into TWRP is failed to work and prompted the original MIUI recovery)
Install the TWRP zip from custom recovery to try and fix the issue above (Only had this work once on orangefox and then never had success again)
So now I try to just flash the recovery and boot to it using CMD and it works fine
Move the lineageOS files from my PC to the phone SDCard
If I wipe data and the caches as suggested then the lineageOS zip is now go and I am back to flashing the fastboot ROM to restart the process
I know this might seem like im either stupid or just not getting it but could you or anyone else please make a bullet pointed list with links to what I have to download in order to actually achieve this since I cant do anything correctly even when trying to follow the steps.
(Im going to sleep since I have been trying to do this for hours now and I will check reply's in the morning.
Thanks for the help so far EVERYONE

I just told you what I have done and I'm running it so far without issues.
Robbo just said you should flash the whole Chinese or indian rom but I don't like his steps because:
1. File is much bigger
2. MiFlash is just meh
3. If you forgot to change the flash process you are bricked if you don't take the correct firmware for your phone.
Default option in Miflash is set to "Clean all and lock". Every time you use it, you will need to change it into "clean all" or something other.

Yes flashing the whole fastboot ROM does add the risk, if you forget to change the flash option, but you are guaranteed a clean slate and so less likely to have any niggling issues that nobody else has. I would bet large sums of money that many of the issues you see on here, where only one person has some problem and everyone else is fine, would be solved by fastboot flashing MIUI before installing the ROM of choice.
If you know what you're doing and know when you'll be OK with what you've got and know when it's best to start clean, then going with the vendor and firmware is easier.
But if your unsure and new to flashing on Android phones, I will always suggest go with the overkill and know you've got the clean slate to start with.

It's sounds like the main issue is stock recovery is being restored. This is something that MIUI will do when it boots up.
When you first install TWRP you cannot boot into MIUI before booting to TWRP as you instantly lose TWRP. So you need to boot into TWRP first in order to do something to prevent it being overwritten.
Options are
1
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
2 Use the button combo whilst still in fastboot - power and vol+, hold both until the phone vibrates and the initial logo appears.
Now to keep TWRP you need to either flash a custom ROM, flash Magisk or flash the dm-verity script.
In your case you want to flash LOS, so now you've booted into TWRP go ahead and continue with the steps given.
Also, wait until after you've formatted data before copying everything over. You can access the phone as an MTP device when in TWRP, so you'll be able to connect it to a PC and drag everything across, or you can stick everything on a USB OTG pen, if you have one, TWRP can read data from them too.

The exact problem I have is that I cant transfer any files to the device after formatting the data. I follow the steps correctly and I get into TWRP successfully and then everyone has told me to format the data then install lineage but I cant install the OS if formatting the data removes it.
Get device into fastboot
Flash revocery with TWRP
power the device off
hold volume up and power
boot into custom recovery
format data
move lineageOS onto my device
install lineageOS
reboot
done.
This is the list of exact actions I am doing with no results is there something I am missing or something that is in the wrong order.

After format data, reboot your device into recovery again and transfer LOS, gapps and all files you need.
Format data kills the storage.

I always used to reboot from TWRP back in to TWRP after formatting data, but I've recently seen someone saying that they just unmount data then remount it again. I haven't tried it myself but it certainly makes sense and would be quicker too.

Yes I did that and it worked, unmounting and remounting helps detect the storage in PC

Oxygen Updater also listing both the incremental update and the full update.
Installing :
For the uninitiated, Download either package and copy it to the root folder of your phone's storage, then go to the following location on your phone :
Settings > System (at the bottom) > System Updates (at the bottom) > Tap on the cog icon on the top right > Tap on local upgrade
The build available in your root folder should be listed, tap that and follow the instructions.
If you are coming from the beta release ring back to the main release ring you will most likely be prompted to wipe your data, ensure you have backed up all data you want to keep beforehand.
If you are upgrading from one release ring build to the next then you may want to clear your cache.

(Edit : Fixed the links, helps if you copy it properly :/ )
(Edit : Added official links and re-formatted )

Some users who already received the update previously had reported overheating and higher battery usage, tests on the official forum have shown better benchmark results compared to previous builds, so the heat and battery usage might be caused by this. No confirmation from OnePlus as to whether this was why the update was obviously being delayed.
Post any relevant improvements or reports of heating/battery differences below.
Remember to allow adequate time to gauge any difference in battery usage though.

Would flashing this over Beta 11 wipe my phone? I'm also rooted with TWRP.

How to update from OB11 to STABLE and keeping root and twrp
BACKUP all you want to keep safe.
I was on ob11 with latest Magisk Canary and twrp 3.3.1-79
Update from OB11 to STABLE 10.0.5 :
1- uninstall ALL Magisk modules. Reboot to System.
2- install Oos 10.0.5 stable with Settings > Local upgrade . DON'T reboot!!!
3- open Magisk > Downloads. Install TWRP A/B Retention Script. DON'T reboot!!!
4- back in Magisk. Touch install. Choose (Install to inactive slot after' OTA)
5- reboot to system.
Let the phone start. Mine at first start to twrp then to system.
This CLEAN istalls 10.05. It ERASES apps messages...

Done. Installed over 10.0.4 with TWRP and Magisk. WORKING.

I was hoping to not lose apps and messages.

Hi Guys,
I have downloaded full OTA update 10.0.5 from above link.
Flashed rom using TWRP, flashed TWRP image (3.3.1-79 by mauronofrio), rebooted to recovery and flashed Magisk 20.4.zip file.
After system reboot it is still showing OOS 10.0.4 with january 2020 security patch....
Did the same three times, initially twice with OTA zip file taken from Oxygen Updater later with ROM from this thead, same outcome - still on 10.0.4.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?? Can you please advice.
Thanks...

You've only installed on one slot, use TWRP to change the slot and flash rom, TWRP and Magisk again.
Either that or just use TWRP to change the boot slot.

Hi guys, just updated to this 10.0.5, reinstalled twrp, but when starts WiFi won't stay on & network icons are a mess as in aren't showing correctly, would this be due to twrp needing an update as I've tried several versions & same result, returning to stock everything works perfectly again, any help would be great thanks

Remove all Magisk modules first, restart then added it back, it's call recording module!

Up and running with TWRP 3.3.1-79 and Magisk 20.4.
Only one day of usage, so too early to draw conclusions, but I have seen no overheating or high battery drain.
If anything, it actually looks to have improved from 10.0.4:
BTW, SOT was 2h57

Its the idiot, being me, I was using the wrong command line for twrp, instead of boot, I used flash boot, which of course flashed twrp as my boot.img & messed it up, I blame covid & isolation, realistically it was my silliness.

Flashed on T-Mobile 7pro, then xXx, no issues so far, great battery life.
