In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the Flash_status_error_universal error in the OnePlus/Oppo Flash Tool. There have been some drastic changes in the OnePlus ecosystem in recent years. Till the ninth iteration, you can easily unbrick your device using the ever-so-reliable MSM Download Tool. However, everything then went down the drain when Oppo got into partnership with the OnePlus.
During its very first course of action, it ended up patching this tool. Fortunately, the developers managed to find another software in the form of Oppo Flash Tool which is able to unbrick OnePlus 11, 12R, and Open [at the time of writing]. However, many users have since voiced their concern that even this tool is not working along the expected lines.
Again, we managed to get another tool in the form of OPlus Tool which, even though needs OTP and authentication from servers, is quite easy to carry out. Or so we thought. Users are facing quite a few issues with the normal usage of the Oppo/OnePlus Flash Tool, with the Flash_status_error_universal error seeming to be the most common one. If you are also currently getting bugged with this issue, then this guide will help you rectify it. Follow along.
