Oxygen Updater 6.6.0

Oxygen Updater is an open-source app that is supported by ads and donations. If you prefer an ad-free experience, you can purchase the ad-free unlock within the app's settings.

Please note that Oxygen Updater is a third-party app and not an official OnePlus application.

App's Purpose

OnePlus releases OTA updates in a staged manner, which means that you might have to wait for a long time before receiving an update. Oxygen Updater solves this problem by directly downloading official updates from OnePlus/Google servers and verifying the integrity of the ZIP file before allowing you to install it. This allows you to skip the rollout queue and install official updates as soon as possible. In most cases, it is faster than OTA updates.

Please double-check the app and Android settings if you are not receiving notifications. Also, make sure to disable battery optimizations by following this link: https://dontkillmyapp.com/oneplus#user-solution.

Supported Devices

Oxygen Updater works perfectly with all OnePlus devices that are not carrier-branded (e.g. T-Mobile and Verizon). However, carrier-branded devices run a custom, completely locked-down OxygenOS flavor. If you own such a device, please note that you cannot manually update your firmware even if you don't use our app.

Works Perfectly Without Root

If you grant root access to the app, there are additional features that you can take advantage of. The "become a contributor" feature attempts to submit OTA URLs captured from your device (opt-in). It also provides improved update method recommendations (full vs incremental).

If you want to update a rooted device while maintaining root access, follow these steps:

1. Install via "local upgrade" as you normally would, but DO NOT reboot
2. Open Magisk and select the "flash to inactive slot" option
3. Reboot and enjoy

Supports All Update Tracks and Package Types

Update tracks:

• Stable (default): intended to be of pristine quality and suitable for everyday use
• Open Beta (opt-in): may contain bugs, but allows you to experience new features early
• Developer Preview (opt-in, if available for your device): unstable and meant only for developers or hardcore enthusiasts

To switch between different tracks, you may need to enable "advanced mode" in the app's settings.

Package types:

• Incremental (default): significantly smaller than full packages and meant for specific source → target version combinations (e.g. 1.2.3 → 1.2.6). Incompatible with rooted devices as per standard Android behavior. Note that the app falls back to full packages if incremental packages are not available for any reason.
• Full: contains the entire OS and is larger in size. These packages are suitable for switching between different tracks, upgrading to a brand new major Android version (e.g. 11 → 12), or if you have a rooted device. In all other cases, incremental packages are recommended.
