Where OnePlus was once a benchmark for the fastest Android rollouts, its reputation has been slightly hurt by its recent updates. When the company released the OxygenOS 13 firmware upgrade based on Android 13, some OnePlus 9 devices refused to boot after the update. Hence, OnePlus had to pause the rollout of the update. As a part of reparations, OnePlus has now pulled the OxygenOS 13 upgrade that was bricking OnePlus 9 smartphones. 

OnePlus-9-Pro

The latest version of OxygenOS 13 caused some trouble for OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro users when it was rolled out in December 2022. The firmware patches, labeled LE2111_11.F.19 for the 9 and LE2121_11.F.19 for the 9 Pro, prevented some phones from booting properly. A member of the OnePlus software team on the community forum had advised users not to install these updates.

OnePlus attributes the delayed announcement of the issue to last week’s Chinese New Year celebrations. The company has halted the rollout to minimize the damage, and users who are affected can reach out to a service center or use the OnePlus mail order repair service. The company promises to reverse the changes without any data loss.

The F.19 update included the January 2023 security patch, stability improvements in system apps, and bug fixes for Quick Glance, automatic brightness, and cellular connectivity. While this software issue is a concern for some OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro owners, the company is gearing up for its highly anticipated OnePlus 11 launch on February 7. The event will also reveal a range of new products, including the 11R, the long-awaited OnePlus Pad tablet, a mechanical keyboard with Keychron, and the Buds Pro 2. Despite any current challenges, the upcoming weekend holds exciting promise for OnePlus.
