How to Upgrade One Plus 3/3T to Android Nougat 7.1.1

As with all One Plus upgrades ,the process is very simple. Android Nougat 7.1.1 upgrade is available to the Beta OTA user base (which I proudly am). If you are not a Beta you will either need to wait for the regular 7.1.1 OTA or become a Beta. Follow these Steps to enjoy Android Nougat 7.1.1

1. Step 1 : This is the most important step , before you upgrade you need to flash the Latest One Plus 3 /3T Android Nougat 7.1.1 compatible Stock Recovery , Download that Here
2. Step 2: Once you have download the recovery , flash the recovery using Fastboot. I am going to assume you are aware on how to do that , still if you don’t know just ask in the comments I have very easy methods with which you can perform the flashing of stock recovery.
3. Step 3 : Check for Updates in your Phone Settings > System Update > Download Upgrade (if you are beta)
4. Step 3.1: If you are not Beta User, Download and Flash the Beta Android Nougat 7.1.1 from Here using a custom recovery , you may skip Step 1 if you have to follow this step
5. Step 4: Let it load and Enjoy
