We all want our mobile to be always up to date, although sometimes we find bugs that prevent us from updating to the latest OxygenOS version of OnePlus . There are many possible failures, but we will try to solve all of them, as well as the difficulties that arise in this important process, which we recommend that you do whenever it is available.
The OnePlus firm is one of the fastest to update its customization layer together with the latest version of Android, which in turn allows us to enjoy all the news in a short time. In addition, it puts all the available options on its side so that we do not run into problems when updating OxygenOS in the terminal, regardless of the model or version.
The update does not arrive to my OnePlus
The first problem that most users encounter occurs when we know that a new update for our device has been published and even some users with the same model are already enjoying it. However, all brands release their updates in different batches and we will not have been one of the lucky ones. To prevent this from happening, we have the Oxygen Updater application that we can find on Google Play.
From this update we will be able to download the new versions of OxygenOS in our OnePlus beforehand and apply them without waiting. To start using it, we only have to grant the permissions, whether we are root or if we are not going to be able to use it. Then we have to choose our model and start the search. Once a new update is found, it is downloaded to the mobile and we can apply it manually.
Another method to get updates
If for some reason the previous option has not worked for you or you are generating problems, we can also download the updates from the OnePlus website . We will only have to choose our smartphone, choose the official version and click on the button to download. Once downloaded directly to the mobile we will only have to follow the following steps to install it or if we do it with the computer we will only have to insert it with the cable.
How to install manual updates on OnePlus
The next thing we will have to do to complete the update in OnePlus is to move the file to the root folder and then access Settings> System> System updates. Once inside, we will check again that the update has not arrived via OTA and if it is not, we will touch on the settings wheel. This will allow us the option “Local upgrade” where upon entering it will allow us to choose the file that we have previously downloaded.
OxygenOS update does not start
What can also happen to us is that our mobile has already received the update through the OTA, but nevertheless we cannot finish downloading it. This is where we find one of the problems to update One Plus mobile phones that we can find more often, although it also has a solution.
Free up memory to avoid problems
Insufficient space is most of the time the creator of the problem, although the system informs us in the storage section that we have 3 GB and the update does not really take up that much, it is a compressed file that can later increase its space. However, in OnePlus terminals, freeing up memory is very simple, we just have to do the following:
- We enter the Settings.
- We locate and enter Storage.
- We played Free space.
- We select the applications that the system recognizes that we do not use.
In addition to this, we can go to the gallery and delete videos or photographs that we do not need or if we do, transfer it to another device to be able to complete the update without problems.
Connect to a stable WiFi network
The problem may also be that our internet connection or WiFi network is creating failures. That is why it is convenient that we wait to get home and we do not perform them on public WiFi networks or through data, since it could also exhaust our rate.
OnePlus does not finish updating
Once we have gotten the update to download and begin to apply, we would only have to leave the phone for a few minutes to finish installing it. However, sometimes the system cannot install the update in OxygenOS and returns to the previous point, something that happens for reasons as basic as the following that we must comply with:
- We must have more than 60% battery.
- We must not touch the mobile or its buttons in the process.
- Do not update the mobile if it is very hot.
If this is not our case, the only thing left to try is to clean the entire device. With a Wipe cache, an option of OnePlus, we are going to leave the mobile as the first day.
Clean the mobile system
To do this we will have to enter the Recovery mode and before doing so, save all our files that could be affected, such as photos, videos and documents. The next thing we will do is this:
- We start by turning off the mobile.
- Then we press and hold the volume down and power buttons until we see the OnePlus logo.
- Now we select English language.
- We touch wipe data and cache.
- Next we click on wipe cache.
- Finally in Yes.
- And to finish we choose reboot.
Once the mobile is turned on again, the first thing we must do is go to the system’s actions to test that the errors in the OnePlus update have been resolved successfully.
