Oneplus One OTA System Updates not working. Shows no update.

Hi Guys,
I had recently updated my Oneplus One to 5.0.2 through OTA system updates. Now I wanted to update the same to 5.1.1 (i.e OS 12.1). But the problem is that I am not able to see the system updates anymore. It says the System is up to date whereas it's not the case in reality. It also asks to update cyanogen recovery, which I ignore. Attaching the snapshots of device for your reference.
The device is NOT rooted. I tried switch OFF and Switch ON multiple times. I also manually force stopped the System Update app, cleared it's cache, disabled it then enabled it. tried all combinations for the same. But no luck.
Can someone please advice what should I do to see the system updates as usual the way I was seeing earlier? Thanks for your help.
Its seems images are not visible. I have raised the same question on OPO forums. Here is the link to see the images: https:// forums.oneplus.net/threads/oneplus-one-ota-system-updates-not-working-shows-no-update.500862/
Well As you Know CyanogenMod Died so that's why you can't find any updates
So I suggest you to follow this link

Thanks a lot for this information. In that thread, its mentioned that "there are two different versions of some OTA updates." In such a case can I go ahead and install any of the zip file? I will be downloading the incremental updates which are similar to System updates. Please let me know.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I actually have that app and it shows me the new update for 5.1.1 too. But the issue is when I first tried to update thru this app from kitkat to 05Q update, it somehow messed up my device. The zip installed was somehow corrupt due to which the installation had issues. Thats why I am actually worried to take that risk again.
That screwed up installation thru that app was the reason why I switched to OTA system updates which updated from 05Q to 5.0.2 lollypop. And now I cant see cyanogen system updates as it seem to have died.
Are you sure that app has no issues at all? Have you updated till 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 using that app? Please let me know.

Why not just get the cos13.1.2 signed zip, flash it and factory reset. I have the file and i can upload it in a couple minute to my gdrive.

Thanks a lot for your help man. But flashing and factory reset will wipe the mobile data I guess. I don't really want to do that. I need to keep the mobile data intact. Also, will it be advisable to jump from 5.0.2 to 6.0 directly? Or should I go incrementally only?

I can also see the full update option. But if I do full update directly, will it wipe all data from my device? I am not sure about it. Can you confirm whether your data was wiped when you updated from Kitkat to the latest marshmallow thru this App? That would help me decide. Or if anyone else can confirm the same, that would also help.

Android O Carrier OTA and Data

When the Android O OTA update is available from my carrier, will updating wipe out data? I know we can get the update files and manually flash them (right now without having to wait for carriers), but that will wipe data which I'd like to avoid doing. But if the carrier OTA will wipe the data anyways, then there's no reason to wait
As a side note, with other phones I probably would have rooted by now, but it honestly hasn't seemed necessary with the Pixel yet. Since I haven't rooted so far, I'd kind of like to avoid it. The only thing I wish I had right about now is TWRP and Titanium Backup :/... that would make updates wiping data irrelevant.

Nevermind, now irrelevant
Enrolling in the beta program (https://www.google.com/android/beta) will give you the update immediately, without wiping anything.

That's what I've just done also.
Does frustrate me that they release the carrier supported updates before those with sim free devices
I got the ota update but couldn't update. Keeps telling me that there's an installation problem. Been trying all day. Anyone has the sams thing going? Im on verizon

If I do this and am offered the update from Google, do I first need to return to stock? I'm on PureNexus right now. I assume that would cause issues if I tried to update?

I'm not sure, I was already on stock so I didn't have that issue. I would assume going back to stock would be the recommended method, though.

Have you tried rebooting? I had the same issue and it installed right after rebooting.

Try cleaning the cache from the "Google Play Services" app so that it can update freshly.

You have to be fully stock and unrooted to take an OTA. There are some mild exceptions but I'm not going to go into all the details. You defnitely can't take stock ROM OTAs when you're running a custom ROM such as PureNexus.

Taking September security update on rooted Oreo

I'm on rooted Oreo 8.0. In UK. Security update has appeared. Anyone tried taking it on a rooted Oreo Pixel? I'm not too bothered about losing root, that's easy to put right, I just want to avoid a time consuming disaster.
All working fine here, of course have to reroot and whatnot. But no problems.

It won't let me install it as well. Don't want to have to update by flashing factory image and losing data. But. It wouldn't be the first time. So, yeah no big deal, just a bit of a pain.

Before flashing factory script, edit the script to remove "-w"
It is the "-w" that wipes device, not the factory firmware.
This has been discussed again and again since November 2016.
Sent from my sailfish using XDA Labs
I downloaded the full image and removed the -w in the flash-all then saved it and updated, rerooted, added back su hide no problem at all. Even kept my theme installed!

Did you have to wipe the internal storage in TWRP as the root guide suggests again? Or was that a one time deal for when we first move to Android O?
Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Nope didnt wipe internal storage. But I assume that was needed coming from N to O and I modded the flash all bat to not erase my system for this Sept full image. So far so good, if i see anything bad I will report back here.

Same here. Used the image from the Google site with the -w removed and no wipe. Re-roooted with no issue and it even kept suhide and it functioned after the root. Did this on an XL and a Pixel last night with no issues so far. No Google Play Services crashes on reboot either, so that is a win.
Does anyone know what are the issues with september update? Or google just fixed everything with this new release?
I can't find the changelog anywhere :/
Anyone actually had the Sept update yet?
I haven't.
Update: just unenrolled from the Beta and the update popped up.

Unable to get updates from Settings

Hello i've got kind of an issue with my Honor 8 FRD L09: I was recently using Lineage OS 14.1 without any issue. But I decided to go back to EMUI so I used dload method to install B101 update. Everything was ok and then from settings I installed B140. But right now it doesn't provide me any update from settings. I want to reach the last EMUI with Android 6.0
Does anybody knows how to install these updates from settings ?

Try factory reset. I went through the same thing as you and it solved.
When you do the B394 or whatever is the latest, do the reset again, just to clean old trash from previous versions.

Settings>Advanced settings>Backup & reset>Factory data reset.
You don't need to setup any google, Huawei or whatever account to get the update. I do a factory reset also after the last update. It prevents under performance and battery drain issues. That's why I always leave the accounts to the very end, after doing all updates.

OxygenOs 13 update always fail. How can I update manually?

My phone is harassing me to make the update to Global (KB2005_11_F.13) but it always fail. I would really like to update because I'm hoping it will solve some problems like my Gboard not showing up anymore. I've been looking around but can't find the tool to update manually. How to do?

No, the update doesn't wipe anything.
It still doesn't work. I think I need to factory reset and then upgrade
