I'm on android 10 and I don't have any problems with any apps. If you go back to pie, you will have all your data erased. Why don't you try a factory reset on 10 and see if you still have any problems with apps. You lose your data but at least you have upgraded.

I updated from 9 to 10 (factory resetting immediately upon update) and find no issues with the ROM yet...yes, the dark mode doesn't work on 9/10 apps but that's normal as the software is very new. It will take sometime before the apps get update to meet the native settings on Android. Once you factory reset, don't restore app data. It's best to start fresh when upgrading Android...

To answer your question is to flash the 9.5.11 update via TWRP. Get the update from OnePlus website support download. Again, this method will wipe every data you have.

alot of people said a factory reset fixed slow performance after updating so you could try that, just make sure to back up the stuff you need

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 11 Upgrade by mistake - can I downgrade to 10 without losing data?

Topic says it all. I REALLY didn't want to upgrade. I think it downloaded on its own and I had system update on reboot checked.
Can I reflash the factory image for Android 10 without losing all of my data or am I screwed and stuck with 11?
Yeah I just got forcefully upgraded to Android 11.
I turn my phone off every night and when I turned it on this morning it took a lot longer than normal and then I had Android 11. Very annoying
I'm not happy about it and didn't know that Google actively pushes OTA updates as background downloads. I had the update services that I know of disabled and it stealth updated anyway.
I had to flash factory reset and wipe all data to get back. Now I'll be paranoid every time I have to reboot.
The new screenshot system is weird. I used to screenshot from the menu by holding down the power key but you can't do that anymore.
Android 11 is better than 10.
The new way it handles notifications.
Media controls.
The Google Pay, and home shortcuts on the power button.
Android 11 is one of the reasons I bought the Pixel 4a

Just delete .nomedia folder in Files and you can take screenshot again.

Ugh. This isn't a debate thread. There are perfectly valid reasons to stay on A10. I will not engage in the debate though.

You could flash the A10 factory image through the Google flash tool if you don't mind also wiping data.

You can unlock your bootloader and flash-all the last a10 factory image.
I'm on superior os and it's android 11. Give it a try before you roll back.
This is in no way a deal breaker but man the Pixel 4a has issues with firmware updates.
I shutdown my phone every night and upon every boot up it checks for newer firmware but despite this, I didn't get a notification for the November security update. I had heard it was out but kept waiting and then I manually searched for firmware updates and it was there....
Get it together Google.

You can go under developer options and disable automatic system updates and it won't install updates.
If your phone is not the google store version with unlockable bootloader than you CAN NOT flash images and go back to previous versions. If you are able to unlock bootloader, than you can go back but you can't save your data. It will result in phone being stuck at animation screen if you do. You can however, use swift backup like I do, and backup your apps and data with rooted phone, and restore them later. Titanium Backup hasn't been updated in so long that I don't recommend that.

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?

Thanks, will it erase my data? Do I need to backup everything and clean? (Yeah I know I should back up)
No, the update doesn't wipe anything.
It still doesn't work. I think I need to factory reset and then upgrade

Question Roll back to stable from QPR2 Beta 2 (T2B2.221216.006) - Pixel 7 Pro

Hi,
I want to roll back to stable.
There's a way to do it without unloock bootloader?
Thanks!!!
How did you get to QPR ?
If by enrolling to the beta program via the Google Page I would assume you can just unenroll and the system will flash back to latest stable. Please keep in mind that this will wipe the device data.
You can find info on how to do this within the FAQ on the page linked above
I may be wrong here but I believe the only way to roll back WITHOUT having to do a complete wipe is during a stable release which only takes place every three months! YMMV
