How to Flash a zip via stock - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

My phone is not rooted so I can not flash with TWRP.
There was a mention in the OnePlus section that you could flash a zip via stock.
I come from many Samsung phones that I have been able to do this, but am unaware how to do this on my OnePlus 7 Pro.
Any instructions would be appreciated.

Flashing Firmware / Bootloader / Modem

Hi,
I´m a neewbie to Samsung. My phone is a S6 SM-G920F, Baseband G920FXXU1AOCW
I came form an HTC and I´ve seen that flashing things are very different. So here are my questions:
1. I think, my bootloader is unlocked but I didin´t know for sure. So how can I check this?
(My HTV showed me this by using fastboot, didn´t know if there is fastboot with Samsung and how to start it - only know the download-mode and how to enter TWRP recovery)
2. Flashing firmware via Odin (i. e. from sammobile.com) means to loose my root again, right?
3. If I loose root, where do I get custom Firmwares and how do I flash them (if this is possible)?
4. If not, is it enough to flash bootloader and modem through Odin?
All answers are appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
Maybe someone can link me to an step to step instruction...
Fastboot is android doesn't matter who makes the phone.
If you flash a rom from sammobile then you will go to whichever stock you pick.
Other ROMs are available here. The phone is new. There aren't many yet. Cyanogen mod isn't available yet.
Root is available by flashing cfautoroot with Odin. You will need to get the specific one.
You can replace the recovery by flashing twrp team win recovery project with Odin.
You can flash boot loader and modem. Make sure you get the right region. The modem frequencies are different in different places.
You may find flashing a whole ROM even stock will fail. This is because the partitions are not the same size for all s6 stock ROMs. Don't ask me why. You can open the tar find which file stopped the flash delete it from the tar and flash again.

Thanks for answering. My questions had an other intention, I think.
My S6 is already rooted and I have a custom recovery (TWRP) :good:
I would like to know if you have to flash a whole firmware or only bootloader/modem? Because I didn´t seen a post here for a full firmware yet.
I am not familiar with the differences between htc whole firmware and samsung bootloader/modem
Actually I am on Firmware G920FXXU1AOCW. But there are newer ones like XXU1AOE3 or XXU1AOE4.
In the days of my htc you couldn´t flash only bootloader or modem, you had to flash a whole firmware (like radio, drivers, bootloader, modem etc.)
Flashing only modem and bootloader will it update i. e. touchscreen drivers? If not, where do I get this ones? You know, because of root I don´t get OTA´s anymore...
The modem just controls how your phone hardware connects to carrier towers etc.
The boot loader is a tiny thing that tells the processor where and how to load the OS.
The software for pretty much everything is in /system.
Many of these releases are the same software, region specific. The dates are fairly unimportant for the same version number. They generally reference the time when they were uploaded by someone. Not that they have updates and fixes.
Just wanted to know can I change my phone logo MetroPCS to say T-mobile with all the T-mobile add on. I have a Samsung Galaxy s6 by MetroPCS

Unroot and update to Lollipop without stock recovery

Hello,
I have a rooted Verizon HTC One M8 running on Android 4.4.2. I do not have the stock recovery and for some reason I am unable to flash CWM, so I am stuck with TWRP. I keep receiving notifications that Lollipop is available to install, but it fails each time I try to install it because I am rooted. How can I unroot and get back to my stock ROM so that I can install the update?
No need to update via OTA. Just follow the instructions here and you'll be on rooted 5.0.1 stock

Questions
Thank you for the reply. Are you 100% sure this is compatible/will work with my phone? If I flash the ROM and it doesn't work, can I simply flash a backup image I made to recover? And when I flash the ROM, will I lose all the data on my phone? Also, where may I download my stock recovery? I searched all over the internet and couldn't find one for the Verizon version of the HTC One M8.
Thank you
That RUU is a complete stock firmware package, including the recovery. Read the OP.
But if you're just looking for the stock recovery you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52017763
That alone won't let you take the OTA though. If you modified your stock rom the OTA will fail.
You can find a complete stock rom elsewhere here on XDA, but why the trouble if you have it all in one neat package with the RUU?
Thank you very much for the help and useful information.
Sorry to bother you with all the questions but I have one more. How do I make a backup of my stock recovery? Say I went out and bought a new phone, how would I backup that stock recovery?

I was initially on 3's S056_UK firmware. Then I flashed S062_ROW over it, no issues so far. I think flashing the S232 over the S062 won't lead to any problems as well. I suggest first to move to S062 as there is no OTA for S056 to S232. Then flash the OTA. Of course you can also do a clean Nougat install if you wish. This is if you go for the twrp version which I prefer.
The link in this thread is for the fastboot version, so you can full wipe your current rom and install this perfectly fine.
The zip on that site is taken from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/7-0-lenovo-p2a42-stock-nougat-update-t3581517
Even the first method is wrong because this zip is for recovery.Method 2 is correct.
Can someone provide me with a twrp restore file? I tried to flash the stock rom but the bat file that came with it tampered with some files and I can't even boot into the stock rom

How would i go about installing stock rom on S7 Edge using TWRP with SAMOBILE files?

Hi, as the title says im looking for a way to keep TWRP while i install the newest stock room for my specific version of the S7 Edge.
I already downloaded the 2GB zip file from sammobile, but that files are made for the Odin installer, and if i install it trough Odin i am guessing TWRP will go away.
tl;dr: Im looking for a way to have MAGISK hence TWRP and newest stock for my specific version of the S7 Edge

The only way you're going to flash any kind of stock firmware while keeping TWRP is if someone has conveeted your stock firmware into a flashable.zip that can be flashed in TWRP. If there is not a flashable .zip available, you wont be able to do what you're trying to do.
The only other way to flash stock firmware is to use Odin or mobile Odin and they will both remove root and TWRP.
Typically, Samsung devices that are rooted and have TWRP can only update the stock firmware via Odin, mobile Odin, Kies or SmartSwitch. This removes root and TWRP which means those users have to root their device again and flash TWRP again.
