Just open a ticket at OnePlus, or go to wherever you bought it.

And what's with that crying for updates, there's a ton of updates on the beta channel - which is probably named like this because stuff is getting tested there before it'll be implemented in a regular update.

Ultimately, it'll be a good choice to never buy a phone from OP again. Just bad luck that you bought from the only company that'll ever produce a failing device.

Hello haven't updated for awhile and feel it needs to be done.

I'm currently on OOS 4.5.15 stock rooted.

If I want to update to the newest 5.0.4 stable what is needed?

I guess update to the newest bluspark twrp is first.

Then what next is needed. Just flash the lastest full build with twrp and done?

Would love if someone can offer some help. Thanks.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ulxerker:
If your data doesn't matter (as you will lose all of them): format data in twrp and flash the full zip followed by Magisk, that's it.

If you want to keep your data: its not that easy, there's an extra thread for the upgrade procedure here: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/how-to/guide-upgrade-4-5-15-rooted-encrypted-5-t3730891

Restart the phone. Sometimes it depends upon network carrier. Sometimes it shows busy or waiting.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric214:
I've been on 5.0.4 since the day it dropped and no issue like you are reporting. Since you have dirty flashed the last couple updates, I would suspect that you need a clean install or a FDR. If there is a new update dropping soon I'd be more inclined to wait and just clean flash the new update.

Yes, flash the full zip file, partial otas won't work.

Did you wipe dalvik, cache, system and data (excluding internal storage)? Also, don't flash any other packages like magisk before booting into the rom. Check if the md5 of your downloaded file is same as this: 3c234748680d2c35531d2f7aef3ed59a

Wipe cache / dalvik

Install rom

Wipe cache / dalvik

Install magisk 16.3

Wipe cache / dalvik

Reboot

That's all I've ever done and have never had an issue updating other then from 4.5.15 to 5.02. had to wipe the internal storage/data. That worked on all nougat update and 5.0.2 to 5.0.4

I recommend you to format data and then to push the OTA through adb on your device and to clean flash it. Had the same issue, dirty flash resulted in those spinning dots for like half an hour, then I tried with factory reset and wiping everything, nothing worked, booted straight back into twrp... So I decided to copy all the important stuff with adb push to my PC (was a long night...) while in twrp and finally I completely formatted the device and clean installed the OTA... Working like a charm now :good:

I tried this before posting and still ended up bootlooping as described.

After that I did "Format data", which was good, because I was able to succesfully flash 4.5.6...

...and bad, because it completely disabled encryption (which is not recommend on Stock OOS).

For now I am not able e.g. to take pictures or download anything, because "no sd card is found" (I think its based on the decryption/encryption-mistake). In MTP I just can see two folders"Android" and "TWRP" .

How can I re-encrypt the phone? (maybe through Settings -> Security Settings -> Encrypt Phone?). Not trying it, before you tell me, what to do this time...
