OnePlus 6 OxygenOS 5.1.7 update has been released with fix for bootloader bug (an issue that had been widely reported since the launch), fix for DND (Do Not Disturb) schedule setting issue, general bug fixes and various other improvements. The OTA update weighs around 64MB and starts getting on several regions, however it will not be available in India due to some issues.
Recently, OnePlus rolled out OxygenOS 5.1.6 update for the device, but it was paused for Indian users due to stability issues. OnePlus 6 users in India will get OxygenOS 5.1.8 update next week with a fix for the known issue, along with all the features that come with OxygenOS 5.1.7.
A major change in this update is bootloader vulnerability fix. The updated bootloader will prevent the physical access to OnePlus 6 to boot any arbitrary modified image without unlocking the bootloader.
Full changelog:
– Fixed schedule setting issue for Do Not Disturb (DND) mode
– Updated bootloader for system security enhancement
– General bug fixes and improvements
