All this completely makes sense on her end as not everyone wishes to step into this unchartered territory of rooting, installing TWRP, and the likes. However, all this intrigued me even further. Since she hasn’t even touched any partition on her device or carried out any modification, how could her OnePlus device go into a bootloop all of a sudden? Well, in my case, these bootloops. soft brick and even hard bricks are nothing new and I occasionally go through these issues as I’m mostly engrossed in the custom development segment. As a result, if the device ended up in a soft brick or bootloop, there was always the option to flash the stock OxygenOS firmware via Fastboot Commands. Then in the case of hard brick, MSMTool was always there to the rescue (unbrick my OnePlus).

So I tried out a few tweaks fortunately, I was able to rectify this issue. Then I thought of sharing the fix with you as well, as it could happen with any one of our’s devices. So without further ado, here are the detailed instructions to fix the bootloop issue on any OnePlus device having a locked bootloader. Follow along.
