[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] PIPT:
Hello Community,

I am using a custom recovery (TWRP) and my phone is rooted. Can I update this build update in an official way (like in the picture) or do I need to flash a complete ROM? And if I need to flash a complete ROM, has someone the ROM from the new build update? Wasn't able to find it until now.

Sincerely PIPT
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] HampTheToker:
You need to do some reading before trying anything more, because you're likely to brick your phone and then you'll really be in trouble.

Yes, you can download and apply updates without having your data wiped and starting from scratch, but there's a very specific process to do this. Failing to follow the proper steps will result in a bricked device. Save yourself some trouble, and learn more about what you're doing before you make a mistake that you can't fix.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] olskar:
I had the same situation as you. I first tried update with OTA, it downloaded and rebooted and failed.

When it booted again, and ran the OTA updater it downloaded the full ROM package, rebooted and installed fine in twrp.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] chazarss:
You should flash full rom over your system like dirty flash, just wipe dalvik and cache after flashing completed, then reboot.

This is safe way if you have root and twrp

Keep in your mind you will lose root and twrp after upgraded, flash them again ?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nikhil.agrawal:
You also have to flash supersu after dirty flashing the rom. Also I personally wipe Dalvik and cache before flashing the rom. I've never had any issues with the procedure I follow.

---------- Post added at 17:19 ---------- Previous post was at 17:17 ----------

If you have a custom recovery or you're rooted never install an OTA. you need to have official recovery to install an OTA. Dirty flashing the full rom is the best way to update.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
See here: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/rom-oxygenos-3-5-4-mm-ota-update-t3519074

In addition to the needed files, the thread has detailed instructions on how to update (stock phone vs. rooted with TWRP) in Post #3 of the thread.

Based on this, you

must

flash the full ROM zip (as opposed to the partial OTA "patch"), if you are rooted. But you should still be able keep your data. But I would still back up what is important to you, before updating. Just common sense to have your important data backed up, especially before large OS updates.

I'm actually about to do this myself today (rooted OOS 4.0.3 to 4.1.1), so I'll let you know how that goes.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] HampTheToker:
You can flash full OTA packages through TWRP. You can't flash the smaller patches, but if it's the full firmware, then TWRP 3.0.4.1 will work just fine. Just be sure to flash SuperSU or Magisk before booting to retain root.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] PIPT:
Can I install stock recovery too to make OTA updates and then after the update install TWRP and flash root again? I only ask because I want to do the smaller updates (bug fixes and improvements) too and won't wait for OS and Firmware updates to update my build, because not every little update is listed to get installed manually.

But all in all thx for so many answers :D
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] k.s.deviate:
I updated officially with stock recovery and full it's zip, DM Verity has been triggered. It's annoying, anyone else?

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] tveith:
Received my OnePlus 3T yesterday. Love the phone and all seems to be working well. The only problem I'm having is with MMS. I've tried two different texting programs (Chomp and Android Messages) and neither can send or receive a photo.

The APN was set up correctly by default. I also tried creating an APN with the same settings and still doesn't work. Also, my APN settings perfectly match the APN settings on my wife's Honor 8 phone -- she can send and receive MMS but I can't.

Finally, I called my carrier (Telus / Canada) and we went through the settings one at a time and confirmed all is well. They were stumped. Since it is not a Telus purchased phone, there wasn't anything else they could do.

Any thoughts on what could be causing problems with sending / receiving pictures with MMS? Anybody else having this problem?

Help is appreciated -- thanks! :)

Hi, I'm in the US and I received my new S7 G930F International today with baseband G930FXXU1DQB1, Android 7.0 and wish to downgrade to Marshmallow 6.01, where can I find the proper FW for this?

From what I've been able to find so far I have this,

XX = COUNTRY CODE (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Hi mate

Use an app like PhoneInfo to find out what is your active CSC , this will tell you what country is the firmware from

You can flash the firmware of any country you want , just make sure that its CSC has the country specific features you need ( like Wif calling or VoLTE)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jkeuclid:
Thanks [MENTION=4830053]MAX 404[/MENTION], I'll check that out and will post back once I know.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jkeuclid:
Here are the shots...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Hi mate

You have and unbranded Panamanian firmware

My question would be is it working good in the USA , are you missing any carrier option like wifi calling or VoLTE?

If not you can use any of the 6.0.1 from here (TPA)

http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=TPA&v=&q=g930f&exact=1

Here you use Odin and i would use AP, BL , CP and CSC ....not quite sure if you could use home_csc to save your data, using CSC will factory reset your phone....i would use that option

This option here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvq2-XRisDI

Downgrade your phone and save your data but is not a 100% downgrade as it does not flash the bootloader and the modem.......

Why you want to downgrade anyhow?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jkeuclid:
Hi [MENTION=4830053]MAX 404[/MENTION], thanks for that link, it's a genuine PITA sifting thru all of the firmware over there. I'm with Consumer Cellular (AT&T) and the reason for the downgrade (6.01), I want to just root (CF-Auto-Root) without a custom recovery atm.

Also, things seem to be running fine with this firmware, data etc. though I haven't used it much. I don't use WiFi calling so have no real need for that. Curious, though what would be a better or closer firmware other than Panama as I have to admit I'm a bit overwhelmed with the sheer number of firmware choices.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Know makes sense...

All of them are pretty much the same no big difference other than what i mention and that some of them may upgrade sooner than others....

Check UK unbranded , is good and maybe a little closer

http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=BTU&v=&q=g930f&exact=1

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

Yep, got the 12/2016 ver, thanks Max.

Question, is there a logical reason why there isn't a more USA proper ver?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Yes, In the USA they do not have the G930F ( exynos chipset) they comercialice the snapdragon version.....with a lock bootloader

Myself i think the one you got is better

That is why you do not have a G930F USA firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jkeuclid:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jkeuclid:
Quick question, just so I'm square on this, I read somewhere but forgot where, how these files are handled, in their respective slots, CSC, CP, BL, AP but what is done if at all of the "HOME" file?

Edit: I found that it should be ignored and just use the regular CSC file, I do opt for a full wipe anyhow.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Hi

That is right , you should use home_csc only if is the same one that is in your phone and you want to keep the user date , with CSC you will wipe the phone and have a clean install...better that way
