Most of them have been for good reasons but there are some issues that surfaced these new OnePlus devices. In this article, we will look at how to fix the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro won’t boot up after an update issue, that has been reported by some users.

If your new OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro won’t boot up after an update, it might be due to an OS glitch or bug that is causing it. Besides, at other times, the cause may be a bad app that you have installed probably from a third-party source. Moreover, it can also be due to interrupting an update process. This bricks your device because of improper OS installation. Let us head to the solution;

How to Fix OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro Won’t Boot Up After an Update

Before we begin the fix and to avoid accidental shut down during an update, make sure that your phone has enough power, or it is connected to a charger. Do not proceed with this solution if the battery is low.

1. Drain the Remaining Battery Power

This is probably a fix that you would do without connecting your device to a charger. If your device is stuck or won’t boot up, the first thing you can do is to allow the device to lose power. If you are stuck on a boot screen, then you must switch off your device in the normal way. This fix might not work for everyone but its the best you can do as today’s smartphones have a non-removable battery. Note that don’t try to turn ON the phone only after a minute you powered it Off. Let the battery drain itself and that might revert back the OS to its workable condition.

2. Charge the Device

Another temporary fix might be to charge up your device. If the device won’t boot up after an update, it might be due to the battery consumption during the update. Sometimes, update take up a long time in order to fully install the OS on your device. This would definitely drain the battery in your phone. So, hook up a charger and wait for 30 minutes and then check whether the device boots up or not.

3. Perform Soft Reset

This is probably what users with some tech knowledge will do. Performing a soft reset is one of the basic things you should do in order to reboot your device if it does not boot up. Basically, it imitates the procedure of removing the battery like you used to do on your older smartphones that had a detachable battery. To perform soft reset follow the steps mentioned below;

• Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons for about 10 seconds.
• Once the phone has restarted, release the buttons.

It can reset your device by clearing bugs and might restore your device in a workable condition.
