OnePlus has resumed the rollout of two OxygenOS updates that the company paused last week after internal monitoring flagged abnormal behaviour in one of the builds before it reached end users.
The updates in question are versions 16.0.7.XXX and 16.0.5.XXX and they were pulled from distribution after a small number of devices showed signs of abnormal restart and boot behaviour.
OnePlus has since confirmed in a community forum post that the abnormal behaviour was caught during internal rollout monitoring rather than after external distribution, meaning no users received the affected build, and those already running the update can continue using their devices without concern.
That distinction carries weight in the context of how manufacturers typically handle phased rollouts, where a staged distribution schedule exists precisely to catch build-level problems at low exposure before a wider push, and OnePlus’s decision to pause proactively rather than reactively reflects that process working as intended.
The company confirmed that an investigation and validation process was completed before the rollout resumed, though the specific technical cause of the abnormal behaviour was not disclosed in either the original pause notice or the subsequent confirmation of resumption posted on 18 May.
Both OxygenOS 16.0.7.XXX and 16.0.5.XXX are now rolling out again to supported devices, with OnePlus confirming the distribution is active as of this week. Users who had been waiting for the update are able to expect it to arrive through the standard over-the-air channel in the coming days.
OnePlus has not confirmed a timeline for when the two updates will complete their rollout across all supported devices, though the resumption of distribution suggests the validation process identified and resolved the underlying build issue without requiring a patched replacement to be issued.
