How to Install Oxygen OS 2.2.0 OTA Update on OnePlus 2 Using Stock Recovery

Step 1. Before you proceed, make sure you have installed the base update prior to v2.2.0. That means make sure you have Oxygen OS v2.1.2 as you current firmware version.

Step 2. Now download the Oxygen OS 2.2.0 OTA zip file from the downloads and transfer it to your phone’s internal storage.

Step 3. Now boot your OnePlus 2 into Recovery Mode. To do so, turn off your device completely and then press and hold the power button and volume down key for a few seconds. Select Recovery if an option is available to get into stock recovery mode.

Step 4. Once into the Stock Recovery Mode, Select Apply Updates from phone’s storage and then navigate to the OTA zip file and select it.

Step 5. Confirm the operation and the installation process will begin updating your OnePlus 2. This may take a few minutes.

Step 6. When the installation completes, it will automatically reboot. If not, go back and reboot manually.

If this procedure fails for you, then you can try the TWRP method. However, you will need the full ROM file and not just the OTA zip file. If you happen to choose the second method given below, then a backup is highly recommended as going through this process may remove all your apps, data, system and more. Though it won’t remove internal storage. Hence, a backup or Nandroid backup is highly recommended.

Step 5: This step is optional. However, you may need to wipe system and data if the ROM doesn’t update. Now wipe the current system. To do so, return to home screen and tap the Wipe option in TWRP. Tap Advanced Wipe and select partitions like system, boot, data, cache, dalvik cache. Do not in any case select internal storage, unless you know what you are doing.

Step 6: Now return to home screen again and tap Install option. Navigate to the ROM file from your internal storage and select it.

Step 7: Now swipe right on the confirmation action button below to install the ROM.

Step 8: Once installed, go back and select the compatible Google apps zip file from the location in your internal storage.

Step 10: Once installation completes, you can wipe the Dalvik cache or simply choose reboot to system option.

Step 11: Once you reboot, you should see the logo. This means that the ROM has been installed successfully. First boot may take a while. If the ROM doesn’t boot or you come across boot loop, a factory reset from the recovery should do the trick. If that fails, you can restore your previous ROM from the TWRP recovery.
