In this guide, we will show you the steps to unbrick your OnePlus 13 via Fastboot Commands. Stepping into the custom development gives you the platform to welcome abode tons of goodies onto your device. But at the same time, you are risking your device by entering into this unchartered territory. Just a slight deviation from the instructions and there’s a high risk of things going south. To be more specific, a softbrick or bootloop is always on the cards.
When that happens, your device will either enter into a constant boot-up or get stuck in the Fastboot Mode. In either of these cases, you wouldn’t be able to boot your device to the OS and it’s as good as a paperweight. Fortunately, there now exists a handy method using which you unbrick your OnePlus 13 via Fastboot Commands. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. So without further ado, let’s get started.

How to Unbrick OnePlus 13 via Fastboot Commands
The below process will wipe off all the data on your device, so take a complete device backup beforehand. 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.
STEP 1: Download Android SDK Platform Tools
- To begin with, download and extract the Android SDK Platform Tools onto your PC.
- This is the official ADB Binary given by Google and will act as our working directory.
- Then go to the address bar of this folder, type in CMD, and hit Enter.
- This will launch Command Prompt inside the platform-tools folder.
STEP 2: Boot to Fastboot Mode
Your next course of action should be to boot your device to the Fastboot Mode. But since we cannot access the OS for now, we cannot use the adb reboot bootloader command. Therefore, we will be using the hardware key combination to get this job done. Here’s how:
- Long press the Power key and power off your device [if that is not the case already].
- Then press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys until you feel the vibration.
- Now let go of the keys and your device will subsequently boot to the Fastboot Mode.
STEP 3: Download OnePlus 13 Fastboot ROM
- First off, download the Fastboot ROM corresponding to your region from below:
GLOBAL .405 | EUROPE .405 | INDIA .405 [Credits: XDA Senior Member koaaN]
- Then extract the ROM inside the platform-tools folder on your PC [recommended].
- Once done, double-click to launch the SUPER_IN_OOS_405_FLASHER.bat file.
- NOTE: The version number 405 and the region IN might be different in your case.
- The flashing will start and your device will boot to Fastboot and FastbootD Modes.
- Once that is done, it will ask if you want to root your device, type N [NO] as of now.
- Next up, it will ask if you flashed from ColorOS or want to Wipe Data, reply Y [Yes].
- You’ll now have to wipe the data manually, which will have to be done in FastbootD.
- Once done, your device will now boot to the OxygenOS [first boot-up will take time].
That’s it. These were the steps to unbrick your OnePlus 13 via Fastboot Commands. Let’s now have a look at one of the most common problems [and its solution] that you might come across while using this flashing script.
FIX: “FAILED (remote: “Not enough space to resize partition”)
If you are getting the “FAILED (remote: “Not enough space to resize partition”) error message during the flashing process, then first off, let the flashing reach the “root question” and then use the below command according to the partition that threw out this error:
If the error is with my_product partition
- Open a new Command Prompt inside the platform-tools folder:
- Then type the below commands to delete all the temporary/cow my_product partitions:
fastboot delete-logical-partition my_product_a fastboot delete-logical-partition my_product_b fastboot delete-logical-partition my_product_a-cow fastboot delete-logical-partition my_product_b-cow
- Then use the below commands to create the new product partitions:
fastboot create-logical-partition my_product_a 1 fastboot create-logical-partition my_product_b 1
- Finally, use the below commands to reflash the my_product.img file:
fastboot flash my_product my_product.img
- You may now continue using the flashing script.
If the error is with my_bigball partition
- Open a new Command Prompt inside the platform-tools folder:
- Then type the below commands to delete all the temporary/cow my_product partitions:
fastboot delete-logical-partition my_bigball_a fastboot delete-logical-partition my_bigball_b fastboot delete-logical-partition my_bigball_a-cow fastboot delete-logical-partition my_bigball_b-cow
- Then use the below commands to create the new product partitions:
fastboot create-logical-partition my_bigball_a 1 fastboot create-logical-partition my_bigball_b 1
- Finally, use the below commands to reflash the my_product.img file:
fastboot flash my_bigball my_bigball.img
- You may now continue using the flashing script.
If the error is with my_stock partition
- Open a new Command Prompt inside the platform-tools folder:
- Then type the below commands to delete all the temporary/cow my_product partitions:
fastboot delete-logical-partition my_stock_a fastboot delete-logical-partition my_stock_b fastboot delete-logical-partition my_stock_a-cow fastboot delete-logical-partition my_stock_b-cow
- Then use the below commands to create the new product partitions:
fastboot create-logical-partition my_stock_a 1 fastboot create-logical-partition my_stock_b 1
- Finally, use the below commands to reflash the my_product.img file:
fastboot flash my_stock my_stock.img
- You may now continue using the flashing script.
