Manually Install OnePlus 5 OxygenOS 5.0.1 Update

Previously released, OxygenOS 5.0 update for the OP5 proved to be walking disaster among the users who tried installing it. A number of device owners reported that they have been facing constant issues with Alarm, double vibration, and a few other functions.

OnePlus has been diving deep into the feedback and bug reports provided by the users. Allegedly, they even pulled back the official OTA to make amendments and roll out a more stable build to the users.

Staff member – Jimmy Z has finally updated the official announcement and released OnePlus OxygenOS 5.0.1 update for the users. The new build follows the same changes as 5.0, but with additional fixes and improvements. So have a look at the major highlights before you jump to the instructions and install OnePlus 5 OxygenOS 5.0.1 update manually.
