Rate this post

Great news for all the OnePlus 6 owners: Android 9 P (Pie) has been officially released by the OxygenOs team and OnePlus with the OnePlus 6 OxygenOS 9.0 OTA! Now this is a “staged” release meaning that only some users will get the update early and you might need to wait for the OTA release to be available for you too and install it but hey, who wants to wait? So if you are like me and can’t stand waiting, here is the guide on how to install the latest official OxygenOS 9.0 OTA on your OnePlus 6 device that brings the Official Android 9 P. Attention, this release and update procedure only works if you have an official stable version on your device. In this way you will not loose any data (photo, apps, app data, etc) since this is a dirty install.

If on the other hand you come from an Android 9 P beta version, then you need to go back to a stable Android 8 version and then reboot and update as below. On this downgrade you need to do a clean install (that means you will loose everything on your device so make a backup!)

The file size of the OxygenOS 9.0 update on OnePlus 6 is about 1521MB, although it may differ on certain units. Changelog of the update, as posted on OnePlus forums, includes an upgrade to Android Pie, a new Do Not Disturb (DND) mode that comes with certain adjustable settings, a new Gaming mode 3.0 with a text notification mode and notification for third party calls, and support for accent colour customisation.
