In this guide, we will show you the steps to create a OnePlus Fastboot ROM. Ever since the introduction of dynamic partition, flashing firmware has become quite a challenging task. If we talk about OnePlus, then the users till the ninth series can easily use the MSM Download Tool to carry out this task [we aren’t just talking about unbricking the device, even going back to stock from custom now requires taking the help of EDL Mode].
However, from the tenth series onwards, things have taken a turn for the worse. The tenth series in particular doesn’t have any tool whatsoever. Its successors, though, have been blessed with a couple of tools, namely Oppo Flash Tool and OPlus Flash Tool. However, at the time of writing, both of them have been patched. Moreover, using an EDL Tool just to go back to stock or fixing bootloop/softbrick also required additional efforts.
In this regard, we do have the Fastboot Enhance Tool that will help you flash the firmware in the Fastboot and FastbootD Modes. However, my experience hasn’t been quite great with this tool [and we can’t blame the developer either as it was particularly built for OnePlus 8T]. So let’s minimize our dependency in these third-party tools and create our very own Fastboot ROM for your OnePlus device. Follow along.

How to Create a OnePlus Fastboot ROM
The below process will wipe off all the data from your device. Moreover, even a slight mistake in the command and your device will end up in a bricked or bootlooped state [in such cases, you can use the Fastboot Firmware Flasher Tool to unbrick your device]. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device. and data by performing the below steps.
This is a generic guide for all OnePlus devices. The commands given here are for OnePlus 11, so there is every possibility that a few files might not be there in your device, and in other cases, your device might be having some additional partitions that my device lacks.
In the first instance, you should delete those commands from the command sheet [more on that later] whereas in the second case, you’ll have to manually add those commands to the sheet [if you are unsure about which partition the file needs to be flashed or whether the file needs to be flashed in Fastboot or FastbootD Mode, then please ask us beforehand in the comments section]. So keeping all these points in mind, let’s get started.
Instructions Steps
- First off, download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
- Now, download the firmware for your device using the Oxygen Updater app or any third-party site.
- Then extract the payload.bin file using the Fastboot Enhance Tool.
- Now transfer all the files inside the platform-tools folder.
- Then create a new text file inside this folder and paste the commands given in the next section.
- Compare the commands with the files that you have got from the firmware and make the changes accordingly, as discussed above.
- Once done, save the changes. Then go to Rename and change the file extension from TXT to BAT.
- Now reboot your device to the Fastboot Mode. For that, power it off, then long press the Power and Volume Down keys.
- Finally, launch the BAT file. The flashing will start and take a while. Once done, your device will boot to the OS.
