OnePlus has officially confirmed that it has temporarily halted the rollout of OxygenOS 16.0.7.XXX and 16.0.5.XXX updates. According to the company, some users reported experiencing abnormal restarts and boot-related issues on their phones after installing the update. Specifically, some devices were failing to boot up correctly or were restarting repeatedly. This update has been released for OnePlus devices in India and the United States.

**What did OnePlus say?**
In a OnePlus Community post, a company engineer stated that the company apologizes for the inconvenience caused to users and is taking this matter with the utmost seriousness.

They added that, to ensure device stability and a superior user experience, the rollout of the affected update builds has been immediately suspended for the time being. The company's engineering team is currently working to identify the root cause of the problem and develop a fix.

The company also emphasized that resolving this issue as quickly as possible is its top priority.

**Should you update your OnePlus phone right now?**
If you have not yet received this update on your phone, you are safe for the moment. In this scenario, the advice is to refrain from installing the next update immediately, even after it becomes available. Wait a few days to observe the experiences of other users.

For now, OnePlus has not clarified when a new, more stable version of the update will be released.

**Why can such a buggy update be dangerous?**
Such glitches in software updates can often lead to significant complications. While the likelihood of damage to the phone's hardware remains low, users' critical data could be compromised.

If a phone gets stuck in a boot loop or fails to power on correctly, data recovery can often become a difficult process.

**Precautions to take before updating**
Experts recommend that you always create a backup of your phone before installing any major software update. Both local backups and cloud-based backups are considered excellent options for this purpose. Today, numerous free and paid services are available that allow you to securely store photos, videos, contacts, and important files. This ensures that your data remains safe in the event of any issue.
