Installation

Based on your device status there can be various possible ways to install the Oxygen OS 4.0.3. I am taking a few common conditions,

If you are on Open Beta Build

The only way to get back to the Official build is via adb sideload. For this you have to completely download the flash image for the current build that you are installing, Make sure to have ADB/Fastboot setup installed on your computer. Boot your device in to recovery mode whether you have custom recovery or stock recovery installed or not. We have made a few demo video for this so check it for more details.

To know more basics about these files and commands check the rooting tutorial for OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T below,

Root OnePlus 3T

If you are on Oxygen OS 4.0.2 Build

Coming from previous build is always easy and simple. Since OnePlus always pushes incremental update so its easy to wait and install the OTA once it arrives. Still if you can't let wait you have few ways to install.

Use VPN Software to update

Watch the video for the current Oxygen OS 4.0.3 impressions video and see how you can install using VPN software.

Use TWRP method of update on Rooted Device

This method is also very popular for users who have rooted device. Download the complete flash image of the build and take backup of your previous (current build) and install it. Just copy the flash file on your device memory and reboot to recovery and install there after,
