If you are an Android enthusiast, you will definitely like to play the modding game on your phone. In that case, no one will take the risk of your device, if it gets damaged on flashing a ZIP.

OnePlus 6T released this year, and we can see a lot of development in the Android communities. If you are playing with the custom ROM, Mods, or any root-based apps, your device may get brick sometime. In this guide, we will explain how to unbrick OnePlus 6T using MsmDownloadTool.
