Flasing Custom ROMs on Oneplus 10R & Ace

Prerequisites

OnePlus Ace

You should have latest ColorOS (and not OxygenOS).

If you have OnePlus Ace with OxygenOS installed, you need to follow the below mentioned steps before you flash the custom ROM. If you have OxygenOS 14/13, then you need to rollback to OxyegnOS 12 and switch back to ColorOS 12.

• Download OOS rollback zip from the support chat's notes.
• Once you are on OOS12, download COS12 zip from here (copy-paste the link in some downloader, directly you wont be able to download) and to switch to ColorOS, follow this instruction | Video Tutorial
• After you have installed ColorOS 12 then lock the bootloader.
• Update to the latest ColorOS 14 and unlock bootloader again.
• Now you have a fully working bootloader.

All necessary instructions and files can be found in the group OnePlus 10R/ACE
