OnePlus Open gets stable OxygenOS 14 (only India for now)
OnePlus Open (their first foldable) was announced on 19th October 2023, and shipped with OxygenOS 13.2 out of the box. Following a ~2 month Open Beta testing period, OxygenOS 14 is now available on the stable track, although only for the Indian variant so far. Other regions should be expected within a month.
The first build carries the C.55 version number, displayed as 14.0.0.400. Complete timeline for OnePlus Open OxygenOS 14 builds:
- 25th December 2023: Open Beta 1 for India
- 16th January 2024: Open Beta 2 for India
- 31st January: first stable build for India (14.0.0.400 / C.55)
It was delivered only to beta users at first (and probably still is), but as OnePlus posted the respective "stable" forum posts, we've added the updates to our app.
With every new device receiving a major Android update, we always advise our users to be patient and not jump into it without thinking. Every "first build" — even stable — is usually quite buggy and is almost always met with general disappointment. For example, 9-series got the first stable OOS12 build on 6th December 2021, which was pulled shortly after rollout. It's worth noting though, that such issues are not a common occurrence these days.
If you wish to update to OOS14, you can do so via the app itself, since full ZIP links are available. Rollback instructions are at the end of this article.

Where can I install stable OxygenOS 14?
If you're currently on the stable track, you should have already received a notification from the app about this update. Please ensure you've selected either of the stable update methods in the app's settings, since the beta track doesn't receive updates separately from stable anymore (post Oppo-merger). Beta track is now meant only for the first few major Android builds, nothing more. Disable advanced mode as well, in case it's turned on for whatever reason. The stable track will continue to receive updates until the device is marked EOL (End of Life).
Once you're on the main screen of the app, simply download the update presented to you and follow the installation guide.
Can I rollback to OxygenOS 13.2?
Rolling back will completely wipe all your data, so please take a backup before proceeding.
Make sure you choose the correct rollback package for your device & region. We are providing these links purely for your convenience, as rolling back isn't natively supported by our app. After downloading the correct rollback package, move the file from the "Downloads" directory to the topmost directory of internal storage (the same directory that the "Downloads" folder is in). Also ensure it ends with ".zip".
Then, open Settings -> About device -> Version and tap "Build number" 7 times. This will enable Android's built-in "developer mode" (you might have to enter your phone's PIN/password too). Once this is done, "Local install" will once again be visible in Settings -> About device -> Up to date -> top-right button. Alternatively, try this APK instead (provided by OnePlus): https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OTA-OnePlus-localUpdate-Oplus_key_U.apk. Find it in your app drawer after installing, it should be labelled “System update”.
Rollback packages
The following packages will rollback your device to 13.2.0.203 (A.30), and will wipe all your data. Only the Indian rollback ZIP is available, as other regions haven't received OOS14 yet.
Remember: these are rollback packages — they're not the packages you should download if you're looking to update to the latest stable version. For that, close this news article and ensure you've selected either of the "Stable" update methods in the app's settings.
