OnePlus Halts OxygenOS Rollout After Reports of Boot Loops

Overview

• OnePlus paused OxygenOS 16.0.7.XXX and 16.0.5.XXX after early installs triggered abnormal restarts and some phones got stuck in boot loops.
• The company froze its entire update pipeline to stop the faulty code from reaching more devices.
• Because this was a staged release, halting distribution limited the damage to a small pool of early adopters.
• OnePlus apologized, said only a small number of devices were affected, and promised a review of its testing and quality checks.
• Engineering teams are isolating the root cause and building a fix with no timeline yet, and users are urged to avoid sideloads and wait for official clearance or watch updated phones for crashes.
