The Need for Manually Upgrading OxygenOS
OnePlus is well-known for providing dedicated software support for all its phones and the OnePlus 8 series is no different. Ever since the phone’s launch, the company has rolled out monthly security updates in a timely manner. Recently, they also released the Android 12-based OxygenOS 12 stable update.
Like any other Android device, OxygenOS updates for the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro are rolled out over the air. Since this rollout is staged, these updates are made available for a small percentage of devices initially, followed by a wider rollout in the following days/weeks. This ensures that no critical bugs are present in the update before it’s available for everyone.
This also means that you’ll often need to wait for the latest OTA update to arrive on your phone. Well, not necessarily. If you wish to upgrade your phone to the latest OxygenOS version right now, then you can simply download the latest OxygenOS OTA package for your OnePlus 8/OnePlus 8 Pro from below and install it manually.
Alternatively, you could also use the Oxygen Updater app to immediately get the latest updates on your phone.
Before you attempt to manually upgrade your phone, it’s strongly advised to check if the OTA update for automatic installation is available for your device or not. To do this, go to “Settings” > “System” > “System updates” on your phone.

Requirements
Ensure that you fulfill all the requirements listed below before you proceed to the installation instructions.

Hello Friend. How do I get the Oxygen OS 11.4.4 boot.img file on Oneplus 8 Pro?
You can find the stock boot images for all OOS versions in this repository.
Hello
Several alerts announce the suspension of the OTA update from Beta to OxygnOS 11 stable (11.0.1.1).
This procedure erases ALL data and the ‘stable’ version brings several issues.
We must indeed return to stable OxygenOS 10 and then implement stable OxygenOS 11.
This also amounts to losing all personal configurations but which brings a completely stable version of OxygenOS 11 to read the comments.
Thanks for the info, Jean. I looked it up since I didn’t receive any update on my OnePlus 8. They indeed rolled out OxygenOS 11.0.1.1 and called it back soon after. The company’s community consultant has already posted the relevant info on the release thread here.
The issue only affected those running the Open Beta software, as they received the stable 11.0.1.1 update instead of the Open Beta update itself.
I will be keeping an eye out. Let’s hope they fix it soon.
