In this guide, we will show you various methods to unbrick your OnePlus Nord 4/Ace 3V. With the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset, up to 512GB 16GB RAM, a massive 5500 mAh battery, and housing the OxygenOS 14 based on Android 14, the newest addition to the OnePlus Nord series has a lot to offer. Likewise, in the custom development, there are a plethora of tweaks for you to try out.
All you need to do is just unlock the bootloader, after which you can root your device via Magisk, install a custom recovery like TWRP, flash custom binaries like Magisk Modules and LSPosed Framework, and flash a customized firmware or GSI ROM. However, carrying out these tweaks might prove to be a risky bet as well.
Just a slight deviation from the instructions or flashing an incorrect file and your device might end up in a softbrick or bootloop state, or even worse, in rare cases, in a hard-bricked state. Fortunately, you might be able to rectify all these issues and bring your device back to life. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. So without further ado, let’s get started.
