OnePlus earlier announced that it will update the mobile operating system of the One handset from Canogen OS 12.1 to Android 1.1.5 Lollipop, but it has suddenly pulled out the update without an explanation.
Just a couple of days after the update for OnePlus One's OS was rolled out, the process was suddenly stopped after only 2 percent of its customers were able to get it. The Chinese smartphone maker has not issued an explanation for the pullout, but there were major problems with the update, according to GSM Arena.
The issues that were spotted, however, still remain unknown.

The OnePlus One update from Cyanogen OS 12.1 to Android 1.1.5 Lollipop was originally planned to be rolled out worldwide. The update was first rolled out in a staged process, so some consumers were able to receive it ahead of the others.
"This update provides critical security fixes for your device to address recently publicized vulnerabilities on Android devices," Neuro Gadget quotes the update notice. "As this is a sizable update, please allocate 20 minutes for the installation process and ensure your device is fully charged before proceeding with the install."
A Source link was also provided for those who did not want to wait for the update notification. Consumers just needed to go to the link and download the update as a full ROM or as an improvement to the previous Cyanogen OS 12.0, which was based on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, the report details.
The new OS was supposed to contain everything there is in Android 5.1.1, including bug fixes and other stuff specific to Cyanogen devices. Among the few changes, the Chrome homepage has been switched to Bing. But users can also do away with this change by tweaking the Chrome settings.
Another change is the new Phone app that can now be integrated with TrueCaller. This is a service that lets the users identify callers including those who are not in their phone book.
Lastly, the launcher has been updated to include an option to arrange the apps in a vertical scroll list. Users who prefer the old paged drawer can reset the launcher from the settings menu.
