OxygenOS 11.0.6.8 for OnePlus 8T fixes previous OTA issues

January 7, 2021

The OxygenOS 11.0.6.8 update is now rolling out for the OnePlus 8T with the aim of resolving some of the issues that many owners encountered after updating to the previous 11.0.6.7 build.

Announced in an official OnePlus Forum post, the changelog is effectively the exact same as the previous build but includes a hotfix that resolves a problem whereby the media player would pause in a strange manner. Beyond that, the OxygenOS 11.0.6.8 update still contains the slightly outdated November 2020 security patch, plus numerous tweaks for enhanced overall usability.

One notable is that this update might arrive as OxygenOS 11.0.6.9 for those in European regions, as the previous update was already labelled 11.6.0.8. Each region should have the following firmware builds:

IN: 11.0.6.8.KB05DA
EU: 11.0.6.9.KB05BA
NA: 11.0.6.8.KB05AA
