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
🪄 First-launch setup wizard: auto-detects correct device/method & allows configuring privacy options
📝 View important info: changelog & device/OS versions (including security patch)
📖 Fully transparent: check filename & MD5 checksums
✨ Robust download manager: recovers from network errors to avoid wasting data
🔒 MD5 verification: protects against corruption/tampering
🧑‍🏫 Detailed install guides: never miss a step
🤝 World-class support: email & Discord (thanks to our community)
📰 High-quality news articles: cover a variety of topics about OPPO/OnePlus/realme, OxygenOS/ColorOS, and our project
☀️ Themes: Light, Dark, System, Auto (time-based)
♿ 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.

Contact us via email or Discord if you need to.

Comments on OS Updater for Android

★★★★★ Jack Hooley · Mar 26, 2026

Great app for grabbing the latest official updates as soon as possible. Edit: The problems with excessive ads on the update checking page have been fixed at some point, so I can again recommend this app.

★★★★★ Daniel Moraru · Jul 3, 2026

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

★☆☆☆☆ S G · Mar 22, 2026

Ads are simply a nuisance and all good for some ads, but when it hinders 3/4 of the app screen, well it is just dud and not friendly

★★☆☆☆ Solox Chima · May 14, 2026

Phone lags from your app software update pls fix otherwise app is good

★★☆☆☆ Tony Wartooth · Mar 25, 2026

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.
