The Android N Stable OTA for OP3 and OP3T users are gradually rolling out starting 31st December 2016. But the update isn’t still showing for everyone and is gradually rolling out by regions (Canada, Germany) and so on..
For Geeks who do not wish to wait for the gradual roll-out, can get their hands on the latest update with a simple workaround. Thanks for posting the trick in the oneplus forums.
Here’s how to get the latest update for India, other regions who are still waiting for the OnePlus3 Android Nougat Update.
- Visit the Play-store and download OPERA VPN app from Play-store.
- Open Opera Vpn app and it will automatically ask you to change location.
- Now change the location to Canada or Germany..
- Once location is changed ..you will see a “key” symbol in the status bar, beside the battery level.
- Now close the Opera VPN app… Go to phone setting and check for update.
- You will definitely receive an Android N update of 1GB…BUT do not download it yet.
- Open Opera VPN once again, change your location to India..
- Disable the app or just switch your phone back to normal network
- You are good to go..Open the settings and hit the Download the update button.
That’s it. It would take some time for the file to get downloaded based on the internet speed. After that is done, it Restart and Install button. The system installer will take care of the rest.
