Oneplus resumes OxygenOS 16 update rollout, boot-related issues fixed

OnePlus says the OxygenOS 16 software issue has been resolved, with the company now gradually resuming the rollout after additional testing and verification

OnePlus has now resumed the rollout of the OxygenOS 16 update that was paused due to it causing boot problems on devices. OnePlus informed in a community post that after further investigation, the issue related to versions 16.0.7.xxx and 16.0.5.xxx has now been identified and resolved. The company added that it has confirmed that there was no external user impact and users who have already updated their devices can continue using them normally.

What happened

Earlier, OnePlus had temporarily paused the rollout of its OxygenOS 16.0.7.XXX and OxygenOS 16.0.5.XXX updates after some users reportedly experienced abnormal restart behaviour and boot-related problems following installation. The company confirmed the move through its community forum, saying the rollout was halted as a precautionary step while the issue was investigated. 

 

At the time, OnePlus said its engineering teams were prioritising the problem and working on a fix to prevent wider stability concerns. The company had also stated that the rollout would resume only after the software underwent additional reliability and stability testing.  READ: Google I/O starts today: How to watch keynote event live, what to expect

As a precaution, OnePlus temporarily halted the rollout while completing a detailed investigation and validation process, stating that device stability and user experience remain a top priority. 

Following extensive testing, OnePlus confirmed that no external users were impacted by the issue.
