In this guide, we will show you the steps to unbrick your OnePlus 13T/Ace 5 Pro via a Fastboot ROM. While some of you might think that these devices hardly get any support for custom ROMs, they are free from being bricked as well. Well, that’s far from the truth as there exists a plethora of other reasons that might lead to a bricked state.

From a corrupt init_boot partition when trying to root to switching between ColorOS and OxygenOS, a brick is just a step away. But even if your device gets bricked, you shouldn’t worry, as this guide will help you unbrick your OnePlus 12T/Ace 5 Pro via Fastboot ROM. So without any further ado, let’s get started.

What are the Benefits of Fastboot ROM

Let’s have a look at some of the noteworthy benefits of this ROM:

Unbrick Device: You can easily unbrick your device and bring it back to life by flashing a Fastboot ROM.
Upgrade OS: By manually flashing the ROM, you can also do the software update.
Downgrade OS: Downgrading the OS of the device is also possible using these ROMs.
Using Partition Files: if you want the init_boot.img file for root, modem to fix signal issues, or vbmeta for disabling AVB, then you can easily get all these files and more directly from the Fastboot ROM itself.

What Fastboot ROM Cannot Do: It’s quite obvious from the name that the ROM requires a Fastboot/FastbootD Mode to function. So if your device is currently in a hardbricked state, aka EDL Mode, then in that case, a Fastboot ROM will be of no use. It only comes in handy if you can access the Fastboot ROM by any means whatsoever.
