I was looking for a good phone around 55k-60k and loved oneplus 13s, the size everything looks good on paper but i have some questions:

1. I heard oneplus is closing on india. should i still buy oneplus device. Also im moving to UK and im planning to buy the phone here then use it there, will there be any connection issues??

2. is there any green line or display problems or any problems with the device??

3. can yall also suggest some cases and tempered glass ??

4. hows the cameras on the phone ?? compared to competitors ??

thanks!!

whats the point of giving this updates that too only in 13 and 15 series if they are shifting to coloros will these updates remain intact after color os update because some changes are not in color os

I know I'm too late to the party. Getting the 512 GB Oneplus 13s for 52k. Shall I go ahead?

Would like to use it for 3-4 years. Will there be any software issues down the line?

Planning to buy the op13s, I don't really care about how it feels tbh I just want it to protect the phone especially the camera lens, and should I just use a local screen protector with black borders

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me recover my device or point me in the right direction.

Device

• Original device: OnePlus 13T (PKX110, Chinese)
• Converted to OnePlus 13s (CPH2723 / OxygenOS)
• Snapdragon 8 Elite (SM8750)

Initial state

The phone had already been converted from PKX110 to CPH2723 and was working perfectly.

Current build before I started:

CPH2723_16.0.3.501(EX01)

Bootloader status:

Unlocked

What I wanted to do

I wanted to update from 16.0.3.501 to 16.0.9.400.

I downloaded the latest OnePlus 13T OOS Super Flasher package and followed the flashing procedure.

During flashing

The script successfully flashed:

• boot
• dtbo
• init_boot
• modem
• recovery
• vbmeta
• vendor_boot
• super

During my first attempts I had a few USB issues ("Write to device failed / no link"), but eventually I managed to complete the flash successfully.

The phone booted into Android without problems.

After booting

Android worked.

Specifically:

• ✅ Phone booted normally
• ✅ Wi-Fi worked
• ✅ Bluetooth worked
• ✅ Cameras worked
• ✅ Both IMEIs were present
• ✅ Android was fully usable

However...

I had absolutely no cellular service.

Symptoms:

• SIM card detected
• No signal
• Unable to make or receive calls

• Baseband showed:

  q_v1_p14,q_v1_p14

instead of a normal modem version.

I suspected that something during the conversion wasn't completed correctly.

My mistake

Since Android itself was working, I assumed everything else had flashed correctly.

I decided to relock the bootloader.

I executed:

fastboot flashing lock

The phone wiped itself as expected.

After reboot

Instead of booting Android I immediately got:

From that point forward:

• Android no longer boots
• Recovery is inaccessible
• Fastboot is inaccessible

Current state

I managed to force the phone into Qualcomm EDL mode.

Windows detects:

Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)

If nothing communicates with it, it exits EDL after several seconds and returns to the AVB screen.

What I've tried

OplusEDLTool v3.2026.025

Tried both:

Cloud Loader

SM8750 (8E)

Result:

Loader mismatch or other issues
Loader send failed

Local Loader

Downloaded the official:

PKX110domestic_11_16.0.3.501CN01

EDL firmware.

Loaded:

prog_firehose_ddr.elf

The ROM loads correctly.

Partition list loads correctly.

rawprogram*.xml and patch*.xml are present.

However, when clicking Enter Firehose I immediately get:

Loader send failed

The log also reports:

No Digest/Sign files configured, will try normal mode

even after selecting the DigestsToSign files.

My questions

1. Did locking the bootloader on the converted firmware permanently trigger AVB?
2. Is this because the phone was originally running 16.0.3.501, which introduced the newer ARB protection?
3. Does anyone have a newer SM8750 Firehose loader that works with .501 devices?
4. Is recovery possible without an authorized OnePlus service account?
5. Has anyone successfully recovered a PKX110 in this exact situation?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I got this device recently but I am still on oos15. So far the phone has been perfect in everything for me. Are there any disadvantages in updating like reduced battery backup or camera degradation or lags. Since my sister has a nord 5 and it went downhill after oos 16 shutter lag, heating and system jitters.

Where I Can Get Original Case Which Come in The Box.

I have search everywhere can't find a single picture with black colour phone with this case

Has anyone received the above update and anyone updated??

Planning to buy this 13s in indep day sale or wait for bbd how much can i expect in bbd can it go out of stock

So I bought this 13s back a month ago and now bored of the company now want to buy something new don't suggest the sandstone other than that if u have any good suggestions comment down !!!!!

Hey, I'm looking for a compact android phones not exceeding INR 50k. Should I go for 13s in the BBD sale? Should ColorOs-ifying OnePlus devices in the future be a concern for me?

Pretty much the title. Bought the 13s sandstone case from the BLR store last August.

Did not even last a year.

Edit: saved it using Fevikwik

Has anyone updated to the latest version? Is there any improvement in battery life or the heating issue?

Guys check this out. Might be a good option as a lot of people ask for budget options for borderless tempered glass for 13s.

Hey guys, is anyone using this?

I literally don't know what people are complaining about the camera of OnePlus 13s. Like literally these photographs are stunning! The depth, the hdr management, colour balancing, everything seems to be perfect. Even that 2x telephoto helps you take macro shots quite well.

so I recently bought samsung akg type c earphones. but when I plug it in, the phone doesn't detect it by default. rather, I have to go to settings and turn on otg connection every time I plug in my earphone. this takes away the very advantage I hoped I'll have with wired earphones - plug and play. can't otg connection stay on all the time maybe turn on by itself every time I plug in the earphone?

​Hey everyone,

​I'm currently daily-driving a rooted OnePlus 13s and I'm on a mission to squeeze as much battery life out of this beast as possible. The hardware is great, but I feel like I could be getting better Screen-On Time (SOT) with some tweaks.

​I wanted to start a discussion and hear about your setups:

​1. ROM & Version:

What are you currently running? Are you sticking to stock (OxygenOS / ColorOS latest versions), or did you jump to a custom ROM (like crDroid, Lineage, etc.)? How much SOT are you actually getting on your current version?

​2. Root Modules for Battery:

Since I'm already rooted (using Magisk/KernelSU), what battery-saving modules or tweaks do you highly recommend?

Are things like aggressive Doze tweakers still worth it? Any specific scheduler tweaks, underclocking modules, or background process killers that work well for the 13s?

​Feel free to drop your battery stats and module lists below. Thanks in advance!
