STEP 3: Install Android SDK
Next up, install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.
STEP 4: Install Fastboot Drivers
The tool doesn’t come with the Fastboot Drivers, so you will manually have to install it on your PC. For that, please refer to our guide on How to Install Fastboot Drivers in Windows 11. Likewise, make sure to install the OnePlus USB Drivers as well [they are usually automatically installed as soon as you connect your device to the Windows PC for the first time].
STEP 5: Boot to Fastboot Mode
Since your device is currently stuck in a bootloop/soft brick, you wouldn’t be able to use the adb reboot bootloader command. Therefore, your best bet is to use the hardware key combinations. For that, log press the power key to turn off your device. Then press and hold the Volume Down keys for a few seconds and your device will reboot to Fastboot Mode. Moreover, to verify the Fastboot connection, type in the below command and you should get back the device ID.
