How to Install OxygenOS 13 Android 13 on OnePlus 10 Pro

Before installing the latest update, ensure your phone has at least 30% battery and 5GB of free internal storage. In a blog post, OnePlus mentioned that the carrier version devices are incompatible with these builds.

Another thing you need to keep in mind is that your device should have the latest OxygenOS 12 or OxygenOS 13 Open Beta. Here, it’s Open Beta 2/C.17. If you’ve already installed the OxygenOS 13 on your OnePlus 10 Pro, the build will reach your phone in the coming days.

Unlike most other brands, OnePlus has a different procedure based on your region to install the builds.

For India and Europe:

1. Download the ROM upgrade zip file. Links are given above.
2. Move the file to the Phone’s internal storage.
3. Go to Settings -> About device -> Version. Here, tap 7 times on the build number to enable the developer mode. You may be required to enter the lock screen password.
4. Go to Settings -> About device -> Up to date.
5. Tap on the top-right menu button and select Local install.
6. Select the downloaded zip file and click Upgrade. Wait for the upgrade to complete.
7. Click Restart. Explore fresh changes.

For North America:

There’s a slight change in the steps for the North American users. Due to some reason, you’ll need to install an apk to upgrade your OnePlus device.

1. Download the build for your OnePlus 10 Pro. The link is given above.
2. Move the file to the internal storage.
3. Download and install this apk.
4. Open the app and tap on the gear icon in the top-right corner.
5. Find the upgrade option, tap on it, and select the upgrade zip file.
6. After the installation is finished, tap Reboot.

Not able to install OxygenOS 13 on your OnePlus phone? Here are some steps suggested by OnePlus to fix it:

1. Disconnect all Wi-Fi and Mobile data
2. Go to Settings -> Apps -> App management -> Click the top right button -> Show system -> search “Software update” in the search bar and tap “Software update” -> Storage usage -> Clear data
3. Keep all networks disconnected and repeat the upgrade or rollback guide

How to Rollback to OxygenOS 12

Not happy with the OxygenOS 13 experience? You always have the option to roll back to OxygenOS 12. But it involves data loss. If you roll back to the previous OxygenOS version, all the data on your phone will get deleted. Hence, take a complete backup of your phone before returning to OxygenOS 12.

Download Rollback packages:

• OnePlus 10 Pro NA Version
• OnePlus 10 Pro IN Version
• OnePlus 10 Pro EU Version  

After downloading the required rollback package, follow the steps you used to install the build. The only thing you need to change is the installation package file. Rest all the things remain unchanged.

Although most people only like to install stable builds, some people (including me) like to get an early taste of the latest software version. I hope this guide was helpful to you.
