OnePlus has paused the rollout of certain OxygenOS updates after reports of boot loops and abnormal restarts, as the company looks into the root cause.

The interruption aims to protect user experience and device stability while a structural patch is developed, with no official resume date provided.

While exact models weren’t confirmed, reports suggest affected updates targeted devices in India and the US, likely mid-range Nord CE 4 generation and newer.

OnePlus apologized for the disruption and said it is reviewing internal testing and QA processes to prevent recurrence, with no ETA for the fixed update.

The affected OxygenOS versions are 16.0.7.XXX and 16.0.5.XXX.

Users who have already installed the updates are advised to avoid sideloading paused builds and to monitor for official patches and stability updates.

OnePlus confirmed the halt via its Community forum, stating the rollout was stopped to protect device stability and user experience.

Affected devices reportedly experience abnormal restarts and become temporarily unusable until a patch is released, prompting the halt to verify stability and investigate further.

The pause was communicated through an official community post by a OnePlus software engineer, signaling the issue is treated as a high-priority defect in QA and software testing.

Engineering teams are investigating the root cause and crafting a fix, with rollout resumption contingent on passing stability and reliability checks.

The issue touches multiple OnePlus models, including the OnePlus 15, 13, 12, 12R, Nord 5, Nord 4, and Nord CE 5 and CE 4, though the company did not specify exact models in its notice.

The problems can render devices unusable due to continuous reboot cycles.
