Description
An open-source app supported by ads & donations. Ads can be removed by purchasing the ad-free unlock in the app’s settings. This is a third-party app, not an official OPPO/OnePlus/realme app.
App’s purpose Android OEMs roll out OTA updates in a staged manner, meaning you might have to wait a long time before receiving an update. That’s where this app comes in—you can download official OTA ZIPs directly, with built-in MD5 checksum verification. They're the exact same files as system OTA, except we're faster 99% of the time. By doing so, this app lets you skip the rollout queue and install official updates ASAP.
Note: if you’re not receiving notifications, double-check app & Android settings. Also disable battery optimizations: https://dontkillmyapp.com/oneplus#user-solution.
Features πͺ First-launch setup wizard: auto-detects correct device/method & allows configuring privacy options π View important info: changelog & device/OS versions (including security patch) π Fully transparent: check filename & MD5 checksums β¨ Robust download manager: recovers from network errors to avoid wasting data π MD5 verification: protects against corruption/tampering π§π« Detailed install guides: never miss a step π€ World-class support: email & Discord (thanks to our community) π° High-quality news articles: cover a variety of topics about OPPO/OnePlus/realme, OxygenOS/ColorOS, and our project βοΈ Themes: Light, Dark, System, Auto (time-based) βΏ Fully accessible: professionally-crafted design (adhering to WCAG 2.0), support for screen readers
Supported devices All devices that aren’t carrier-branded (e.g. T-Mobile & Verizon) work perfectly. Carrier-branded devices run a custom, completely locked-down OxygenOS/ColorOS flavour. If you own such a device, be aware that you cannot manually update your firmware, even if you don’t use our app.
See https://oxygenupdater.com/ for a full list of supported devices, and https://oxygenupdater.com/faq/ for frequently asked questions.
Works perfectly without root If you grant root access to the app, there are some additional features you can take advantage of: "become a contributor" feature, which tries to submit OTA URLs captured from your device (opt-in), and improved update method recommendations (full vs incremental).
If you want to update a rooted device while maintaining root, 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 & package types Tracks: • Stable (default): supposed to be pristine quality, daily-driver material • Open Beta (opt-in): may contain bugs, but you can experience new features early • Developer Preview (opt-in, if available for your device): unstable, meant only for developers or hardcore enthusiasts
Switching between different tracks may require enabling “advanced mode” in the app’s settings.
Package types: • Incremental (default): much smaller than full, meant for a specific source → target version combo (e.g. 1.2.3 → 1.2.6). Incompatible if rooted, standard Android behaviour. Note: app falls back to full if for whatever reason an incremental isn’t available. • Full: contains the entire OS, so they’re quite large. Uses: switching between different tracks, or upgrading to a brand new major Android version (e.g. 11 → 12), or if you’re rooted. In all other cases, incremental is recommended.

Inceedible app. On my OnePlus Nord 5 I did not receive updates for 7 months. I installed this app, followed the instructions and I got the latest OxygenOS (16) installed. Kindly recommend

Excellent App, Even allowed Beta previews of upcoming Android versions. It is essential to Oneplus Oxygen Software Updates. A real Godsend of an app.

Great app for grabbing the latest official updates as soon as possible, but I cannot continue to use it now that ads cover the majority of the screen and block buttons even when just checking if an update exists.

Maybe a good app if you don't have the North American version of oneplus devices. Never, not one time has an update been in this app before it's pushed to my phone over air from oneplus and it's the last of their phones to get updates. I'll be waiting for updates and when I finally get it, all other regions are already on the next update. For North Americans this app is pointless unless you have the global version, eu, or india variant. It does get the updates for all other regions quickly.
