How to Flash Custom ROM on OnePlus 7 Series
The flashing instructions below work for the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro as well as the OnePlus 7t and 7t Pro.Make sure you have OOS11 installed on your device and you have an unlocked bootloader. If you currently have OOS12 installed, you have to downgrade your device to OOS11
- Download the latest Android 13 ROM of your choice from the list above (ROM is provisioned with gapps so no need to download gapps separately)
- Download the Boot Image
- Copy the ROM zip and boot.img files into the platform-tools directory on your PC
- Connect your device with an unlocked bootloader to your PC. If your bootloader is locked, watch this video
- Open a terminal from inside the platform-tools directory where the ROM and boot image files are saved and type the command ADB reboot bootloader then press enter. Your device should now boot to fast boot mode. if it doesn’t, see this video to set up ADB drivers.
- Now that your device is in fastboot mode, type the command fastboot flash boot then drag the boot.img into the terminal window, click on the terminal window to make it active then press enter. This will send the boot. img to the device and flash it into the boot partition of the device. Alternatively, you can type the command fastboot flash boot boot.img and press enter but make sure that you replace “boot.img” in the command with whatever you rename the boot image file to.
- Now that the boot image has been flashed successfully, type the command fastboot reboot recovery to boot the device into recovery mode. In recovery mode, select Apply update then Apply from ADB when this is done on the device, type the command ADB sideload ROM.zip. Make sure to replace “ROM.zip” in the command with the exact name of the ROM zip file inside your platform-tools folder or just drag and drop the zip file into the terminal window then click the terminal window to make it active then press enter to sideload the ROM. After a while, the ROM will be installed on your device and you can now boot up to the smooth YAAP ROM based on the latest Android 13.
