Ugrading Android version - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I am on Android V 9.0 /OOS 9.0.2. I am wanting to flash /e/ and it seems I need to be on the recent Android version as the instructions say "please ensure that the device is on the latest Android Stock firmware same as the version of the /e/OS you are planning to install."
When I run System update it says my updates are current. How do I update Android to a current version?
I am a user so please keep things as simle and as non-tech as possible. Thanks

Issue resolved. I used the MSMDownload tool and flashed a Ver 10 zip to the phone

just in case someone is in the same situation as you, you just need to update to OOS 9.0.9, you can do that by downloading the update package and installing it through local update option, once you are on that specific version you'll get an update notification for 11.1.2.2

Is there any way to update oos 10 to 11 only on slot A? As i understand when i am updating with the stock update app it switches slots after the update, but i have Windows 11 installed on the slot B

TWRP - Update AOSP meaning

Hi all,
I know that AOSP is Android Open Source Project.
So, when TWRP says that version 2.8.6.1 includes a "Update AOSP base to 5.1", what does it exactly mean?
Does it mean that the device OS will be upgraed to Android 5.1 ?
BTW, I ask it here just because I have N5...
Thank you

No, it doesn't mean that.
So,
1. Can you explain to me please what does it mean exactly?
2. TWRP does not let me install the OTA upgrade to 5.1. how can I overcome that?
Thank you!!

It means that TWRP base has been updated to Android 5.1. TWRP is based on the open source Android recovery, with each release of Android (4.4, 5.0, 5.1 etc) Google update everything to the new base. So currently everything in Googles repo is a 5.1 base. TWRP updates itself to the latest android recvoery base which is 5.1. It allows for the flashing of latest ROMs, bug fixes and any new features (although in Google stock recovery, new features are very rare)
To update to 5.1 you will need to flash an unoffcial stock version in the development secion or you can grab the OTA zip and 'adb sideload' it.
Thank you Matt
1. Can you just point me to the place where I can select the files to flash?
2. Which one would you recomment me to use?
3. Can I flash them with TWRP?
Many thanks!

You cant apply ota updates above 5.x.x with twrp. Use stock recovery instead.
It is not an error. Aftert the upgrade is downloaded it reboots into the TWRP screen and there I do not know what to do.
So, I simply choose to reboot into system from there, and thus, there is no upgrade.

Oh, so it's exactly like @bitdomo said, and I quote, "You cant apply ota updates above 5.x.x with twrp. Use stock recovery instead."

Yesterday XIAOMI Mi5 has get a new update.
About TWRP aborts the update, because firmware MIUI 8.8.30 is required as a minimum requirement.
However, I find these not to download - does anyone have a link?
Regards & Thanks
Same here, does anyone can provide the download link ? Thank you
same here and the last update that worked has some bugs.
Apps crashing, battery drains etc.
Was hoping the new update would have fixed these issues but alas
I cannot get TWRP to flash giving the same error about MIUI 8.8.30

This is to all of you, you can't apply stock OTA updates on rooted devices or devices that have TWRP installed. Stock OTA updates require an unmodified system partition(meaning no root, no Xposed, no root mods of any kind).
OTA updates also require stock recovery, not TWRP.
You can all try flashing any stock firmware for your device then wait for the update notification then try the update process.
To those of you that have TWRP installed, this is a good example of why it is so important to create a nandroid backup of your stock ROM before you modify anything on the device. If you had that nandroid backup, you could restore the backup, then flash a copy of your stock recovery, then unroot the device, then wait for the update notification, then you'd be able to apply the current update. Then after applying the update, root the device again and flash TWRP again, then create a new nandroid backup of the updated stock ROM and delete the older backup from before the update.

I am running Lineage OS 15.1 when it applies the nightly update I get this error.
So what you are saying is they updated to MIUI 10 which as what I can see updates to MIUI 8.8.30 which includes new code
that TWRP and Lineage cannot install over. Also there is this Xiaomi's anti rollback that is installed as well so I am guessing
either live with the last Lineage OS update or install stock MIUI and call it day.

Oh, you mean a nightly update of LOS?
Maybe the MIUI update contained a bootloader update and the new builds of LOS were built to work with the new bootloader?

Interesting I encountered the same problem. Lineage Cannont update because 8.8.30 stock ROM Miui is required.
Simply download latest available miui firmware. Via TWRP install it and then immediately install latest LineageOS.
Here is the link to the new MIUI

Need help with updating to latest OS

I recently downgraded from OS beta 16 to OS 9.5.2. Now I want to upgrade to the latest one OS 10.3.3. i even downloaded the full version. but when trying to install it says failed.
Good evening mate,
well, in your case, you should just use the MSMTools. It's a software which we can use to install any version of the OOS, but obviously, each version flashes the build it was built for.
Just go to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7/how-to/op7-unbrick-tool-to-restore-device-to-t3954325/
thanks to @Some_Random_Username
There, you should see some spoiler buttons, just choose the one you want, download the software and then follow the instructions at the bottom of that post.
Remember, using this software LOCKS your bootloader and also WIPE everything on the device.
My advise is to choose GM57BA 10.3.2, and then just update to 10.3.3 by OTA.

Yes I tried using it yesterday but I stupidly updated to 9.5.8. But I have the same problem not getting any OTA updates. Now I will install 10.3.2. But is it guaranteed to get OTA since I dint get any when 9.5.8 was installed through MSMTools. Thank you

Yes, you should get every available OTA... But if you don't, just downlaod the app Oxygen Updater from play store, set it up nad use it to download the updates!

Question Cannot downgrade From COLOR OS

Hi, i currently have Color OS 12.1 C.62 installed and would like to go back to stock Oxygen OS, i am not able to use the downgrade packages do to my version being the latest. what can i possibly do to reset. my device is LE2113.
Are you trying to use the downgrade packages or the OTA? The downgrade package works no matter what version you are on. I myself used the downgrade package to get back from C.62 to OOS.
