How to Remove Orange State Warning on OnePlus

In this guide, we will show you various methods to remove the Orange State Warning on your OnePlus device. Beginning with OxygenOS 13, if your device’s bootloader is unlocked and it is rooted via Magisk, then you will get a warning message every time your device boots up. While it wouldn’t lead to any issues as such but it would surely lead to a delay in the normal boot-up process.

Moreover, no one likes a warning prompt on their device before it boots to the OS. While both the Orange and Red State Warnings are nothing new and have been present on MediaTek devices for ages, however, it is the first time that we are witnessing this on OnePlus phones. So we performed a few tests on the OnePlus 9 Pro and found that this warning wasn’t present in the last Android 12 firmware [F11] and only came into existence after the first Android 13 update [F16].

So to rectify it, we flashed the F11 firmware’s abl.img file [that houses the bootloader information] onto the latest F16 firmware [at the time of writing, for OnePlus 9 series] along with a few tweaks and the warning message disappeared. Making use of the same tweak, this guide will show you the steps to remove the Orange State Warning message on your OnePlus device. Follow along.

How to Remove Orange State Warning on OnePlus

Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.

METHOD 1: By Flashing Firmware

The easiest and most recommended method is to simply flash the firmware. The firmware comes built-in with the modified abl.img file, and upon flashing it, the Orange State will be removed from your device. So, refer to our detailed guide on How to Flash OxygenOS Firmware on any OnePlus [Video] [refer to the second method given in that guide] and get this job done right away.

METHOD 2: Using Firmware ABL file

1. To begin with, make sure that your device is rooted via Magisk.
2. Then download the F11 firmware and extract its payload.bin.
3. Now copy the abl.img from the extracted firmware and send it to your device [not inside any folder].
4. Then enable USB Debugging and connect your device to your PC via a USB cable.
5. Now download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
6. Then type in CMD in the platform-tools folder address bar and hit Enter.
7. This will launch Command Prompt. Type in the below command to open the shell environment adb shell
8. After that, type in the below command to get hold of your current slot: getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix
9. If it is A, then execute the following commands [you will get a Magisk prompt after executing the su command, make sure to tap Grant]: su dd if=/dev/block/by-name/abl_a of=/sdcard/abl.img.bak blockdev –setrw /dev/block/by-name/abl_a dd if=/sdcard/abl.img of=/dev/block/by-name/abl_a
10. On the other hand, if your active slot is B, then execute the below commands [you will get a Magisk prompt after executing the su command, make sure to tap Grant]: su dd if=/dev/block/by-name/abl_b of=/sdcard/abl.img.bak blockdev –setrw /dev/block/by-name/abl_b dd if=/sdcard/abl.img of=/dev/block/by-name/abl_b
11. You may now reboot your device to the OS and it will boot without any warning!

METHOD 3: Via Commands

1. Download the OnePlus 9 Pro Android 12 Firmware version F11.
2. Then extract its payload.bin and get hold of the abl.img file.

4. Then enable USB Debugging and connect your device to your PC via a USB cable.
5. Now download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
6. Then type in CMD in the platform-tools folder address bar and hit Enter.
7. This will launch Command Prompt, Execute the below command to open the root shell su
8. You will now get a Magisk prompt on your device, tap on Allow/Grant.
9. NOTE: In the below command [STEP 10], in our case, the abl partition was sde13, make sure to check yours using the below command and then make the changes to that command accordingly: adb shell cd /dev/block/platform ls -la /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name
10. After that, type in the below command to make the partition re-writeable: blockdev –setrw /dev/block/sde13
11. Finally, execute the below command to flash the F11 version abl.img dd if=/sdcard/abl.img of=/dev/block/sde13

3. Now download the OnePlus 9 Pro Android 13 Firmware version F16.
4. Then extract its payload.bin and get the boot.img file.
5. Transfer both abl.img and boot.img to your device’s Internet Storage [not inside any folder].
6. Now launch Magisk and tap on Install > Select and Patch a file.
7. Then choose the boot.img and it will be patched.
8. Once done, tap on Uninstall Magisk > Restore Images.
9. Then enable USB Debugging and connect your device to your PC via a USB cable.
10. Now download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.

17. After that, execute one of the below commands to flash the F16 boot.img to the inactive slot [if you got value ‘a’ in STEP 12, then flash the patched boot.img to Slot B and vice versa]: fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched_boot.img fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched_boot.img
18. You may now reboot your device to the OS and it will boot without any warning!

METHOD 5: Using Hex Editor

1. To begin with, download a Hex Editor software on your PC.
2. Then download the firmware that is currently installed on your device.
3. Now extract its payload.bin and get hold of the abl.img file.
4. After that, drag and drop the abl.img to the Hex Editor to open it.

6. The above value corresponds to the Orange State keyword. So delete it and then hit the Ctrl+S to save it.
