Flash using TWRP. This will flash all files in the MCG24.251-5 update except for recovery.
New features in this update that I've noticed:
-Marshmallow, aged to perfection in Verizon's own servers. Only one major release version obsolete, and with outdated security patches!
-WiFi calling (woooooo! Those custom roms just got another carrier-specific, unportable feature to compete with)
-The command center widget has been replaced with the Droid Turbo 2 version
Get it here: https://mega.nz/#!G1xg1aYa!fm2hUL7hDDVaxTAj_iPbtY61P-8VrQEvoOJiVsDtdho
Here's the stock recovery image if you want it: https://mega.nz/#!r1wDQRCJ!KHbo_Q6L-WE_VyB1x8W4FbT6PrerPEyn9H1C6VUAyf8
Flashing this rom updates the bootloader to a version that can communicate with the kernel to tell SafetyNet that it is unlocked, causing it to fail. Fret not, however, as there are two options to fix this:
OPTION 1: Flash the SU4TL-49 bootloader using the following TWRP package: https://mega.nz/#!6logEaIQ!q8qPJw65Upt38Hxiu1JyxErmwbgL7CBzuGzzPC0C9pQ
OPTION 2: Flash this patch made by @bhb27: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120696423
Wipe cache and dalvik/art cache after either of these options.
NOTE that these options only fix failures due to SafetyNet checking the bootloader status. It will still fail due to root, xposed and the like. There are no known consequences or side effects to either of these options, so just pick whichever one you feel like.
If you notice weird things after you flash this rom (long boots other than the first one which is supposed to be long, random reboots, etc.) try flashing the stock recovery image and factory resetting.
If you want root, flash this version of SuperSU first, then flash whatever newer version you want: https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/
If you have trouble flashing this, try TWRP Mod 3 instead of Mod 4.
Ouch, you have almost full flash inside archive, with bootloader too... Who is the most brave, introduce yourself ))
+ mirror
I can confirm that it works on old bootloader.
I had SULT-49 5.1 installed before and I just flashed this via TWRP. I haven't taken the OTA. It works perfectly. Thank you.
PS: My bootloader now is moto-apq8084-70.95 (2016-06-29). Do you have same version after taking OTA?
Did you have to wipe the system, data and cache first like you would with a new ROM or just dirty flash it?

When in doubt, always wipe.
Hey everyone, what is your safetynet status with this rom? It's failing for me, and I can't figure out why.

It works w/o, but, IMO, better wipe, than not. You don't need extra bugs, right )
It's completing setup now, I did a wipe after I backed up my phone. It's unlocked and rooted before I flashed the zip

I don't. I don't know how I would get it since I need root access to get it, and I can't get root access without TWRP, and I have to overwrite the stock recovery to get TWRP.

I just tried using AP a few hours ago and it failed with the screen in the article. OTA with unlocked bootloader.
I saw a notification for a new system OTA and, without thinking, I downloaded and installed it even though I'm rooted.
So when the install starts, it just boots to TWRP. And every time I reboot back into system, it attempts to install the OTA again and just boots me back to TWRP.
Any help?

A quick Google search would have yielded the answer almost immediately, just clear (wipe) caches and reboot.

It won't install, it will get stuck in recovery... Wiping cache deleted the update file and allows the phone to boot to its previous state.
where is the update file?

All you did was try to update and wiping cache didn't fix it? Then there is more wrong. Backup in TWRP and do a factory reset (wipe data and caches)
In twrp go to file manager and find cache folder inside there is file update ( -----.zip) deleted then reboot

Are PURE stock and are certain you have the correct OTA zip file? Then sure... Start recovery, go to the menu and select Update via ADB, then on PC use 'adb sideload update.zip'
But to be honest, I don't think people capture the update zip or url on this device, so it probably isn't feasible.

My phone is rooted and unlocked and has TWRP. The update zip file file was automatically downloaded by Motorolas-androids OEM. System updates which I accepted. But as I can see from custom recovery it has a message about something like a pure signature to install even when I try manually. Thank you

If you use the stock "Local Upgrade" option, it won't let you.
If you use TWRP or blu_spark TWRP, just remember to wipe Data.
There is a chance the security patch level is lower on the old bulid. If it's the case, you'll have to Format Data (Not wipe, really format) to remove all encryption, or it won't boot :/
This will erase all of your storage, including folders, downloads, everything.

One advice : Be near a computer with the 9.0.3 and TWRP zips near you.
You should flash 9.0.3, then TWRP (or it will erase it).
This will install it on one slot.
Reboot recovery, and do this a second time, 9.0.3 and TWRP, to fill the other system slot
Reboot recovery a second time to go back to the first slot, and to format data, go into the wipe menu, and you'll see (if i remember correctly) two buttons, Format Data, and Advanced Wipe. It's above the "Factory Reset" slider.
You'll have to touch Format Data, and confirm by typing "yes", there will be a warning.
- > If when you reboot the recovery, it doesn't ask for your password, it means it's busted by the security patch, and you have to format haha !
This is why it's good to have a PC nearby, to copy the zips again if you have to format during the process.

I greatly appreciate your help.
Just to clarify the last part, what if i don't have a password in the first place. Will it still "not ask for it" if. The security patch is messed up?
Edit : what if i want to re-flash the current stock OOS (9.0.4) do i only flash it in twrp and reboot. Nothing else?

Mmmmh. When you normally boot into TWRP, does it ask anything to decrypt the data ?
Mine asks for my password, if I don't enter it, all folders are unreadable and empty.
I never used it without a password.
Maybe it will enter TRWP without asking for anything, but all the folders and files will be encrypted and unusable. This is the case where you have to format everything.
If you want to go from 9.0.3 to 9.0.4 later on, you just have to flash it yes.
It's advised to still flash it on both slots like described above, just to be sure though, but you will not have to wipe anything

Yes, you are correct. It does ask for a password if you have that enabled. But i always disabled it, just in case.
I think i got it now. When i see that the files are unattainable, i will format. And reboot after that.
What i meant was that. I want to re-flash the same stock version that i now havd (9.0.4) just to see if that solves my (connect-disconnect wifi/data issue). If not then i will proceed to downgrade to 9.0.3

You should do a simple factory reset at the same time if you re-flash your current version. I had bad WiFi issues too on this one after a dirty flash from 9.0.3. With a clean 9.0.4 flash, it was fine.
To be sure, you could re-flash 9.0.4 on both slots (It has been said to resolve issues sometimes), and do a simple factory reset (Without formatting, a classic "Clean Flash"). The ROM itself is fine, so it would eliminate issues you could have with your particular setup

That's exactly what i thought. A factory reset might solve the problem so i went and googled it and people were having issues when doing a simple factory reset in twrp > https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/factory-reset-os-patched-boot-img-t3795998/amp/
But yet again i were to re-flash stock on both slots it would bring back "stock boot.img" i suppose, if I'm not wrong.
---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------
It all went fine. Wifi issue seems to be fixed, need further look in to.
My guess was right, after flashing stock OOS second time on the other slot it must've stocked the boot.img so the factory reset went fine and booted into system as it should.

Nice, enjoy !
And yes, flashing the ROM also switches slots. So if you were booting slot _a before, now you're on slot _b. So the kernel is the stock one, that went with the zip you just flashed
Im currently on 9.5.7 stock(Converted tmobile device to international), with a custom kernel,Root ,a couple of magisk modules and viper4AndroidFX.
I want to take the OTA that is available to 9.5.8 and future updates, so I was curious what the appropriate method is so that I dont lose anything or end up with a bootloop.
Download the OTA, the latest TWRP and Magisk. Reboot to TWRP then flash OTA > TWRP > Magisk. After that reboot and you'll be updated.

Use this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/oneplus-7-pro-global-repo-oxygen-os-t3930585 to get the OTA files. Assuming you converted to GM1917 you'll want to download the GM21AA Signed flashable zips.
I've only used the updater app once because those files are available faster than what appears on XDA. I usually like to wait until the Fastboot files become available on XDA in case I have to restore because of some bootloop, bug, etc. But I would just follow the directions on the app. I think it explain which update you need for a rooted device.

Using the "Oxygen Updater" app should be okay, as long as you follow the instruction in the second link I gave above.
As far as the "full update" you must flash this (versus the partial patch) since you are rooted, or you will bootloop (at least, that was how it worked for past OnePlus devices). The updater should detect you have TWRP/root and download the full update anyway.

Yes, it will re-install the stock kernel. It's a full stock image.
Make a backup of the stock boot.img in TWRP, before flashing a custom kernel, in the event you want to revert later (without flashing the whole update image).

Yes, it should retain your data. I just updated to 9.5.8 a few days ago, and it kept my data intact (by the process of updating in settings, don't reboot, in Magisk Manager install TWRP installer in inactive slot, etc.).
But what I always say when attempting a "dirty flash" (flashing the ROM, but retaining data) is: hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Backup anything that is important to you before any big update, just in case. What should happen, and what actually happens, are not always the same thing!

Flashed Lineage 15 before flashing the 16?
That's the best way to go about it.
Steps I used coming from stock 7.0
Lineage:
1. Format data and wipe system in TWRP
2. Install to-x86cpu.zip
3. Reboot recovery
4. Install lineage 15.1, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot
5. After booting up, check if things like camera and fingerprint are working. (If you want to stay on 8.1 go back to TWRP and install gapps and magisk). Otherwise, proceed.
6. Reboot to TWRP and install lineage 16.0 over the 15.1, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot. Things should work after this step.
(If you want to stay on pie go back to TWRP and install gapps and magisk).
7. If you want lineage 17, follow step 6. Flashing 17 over 16 and wiping cache/dalvik then reboot.
Preferably you can also try Resurrection Remix pie.
1. Wipe system, factory reset in TWRP.
2. Install the RR, gapps, magisk
3.reboot
4. Profit.

7. If you want lineage 17, follow step 6. Flashing 17 over 16 and wiping cache/dalvik then reboot.
Preferably you can also try Resurrection Remix pie.
1. Wipe system, factory reset in TWRP.
2. Install the RR, gapps, magisk
3.reboot
4. Profit.

What error does it output? I suppose you can pm the developer about it.

Yes just grab a kdz file from lgfirmwares or use a TWRP flashable stock nougat rom like the one here https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-vs995-alpha-rom-v1-1-t3709727

If the vs995 is giving you problems, you can also cross flash a us996 or h910 nougat kdz, root it, get TWRP and use their custom ROMs. Done that too before and still using us996 on h910 hardware.

I had a similar issue. x86 can fails that's not so important. But be sure to first rewrite all your partitions back to stock with LGUP and an rooted Oreo rom from xda. Then in TWRP delete everything even userdata and internal storage. Then start with the posted steps here.
PS: I'm not sure if you are aware but with LOS your second screen is just a dumb notch. That function is lost... Only (more or less stable) option with all functions is stock rooted Oreo...
I've been using the Alpha Omega Oreo rom for years and its been very stable. Its a modified stock rom so the 2nd screen does work.
Wish there was a stock pie rom but seems exceedingly unlikely LG will release anything.
