All of us knows that we upgraded to OxygenOS 12 stable or beta but OnePlus didn't given roll back package so who are stucked on OOS 12 can now downgrade using this process.
This is downgrade process by using relive dvd based MTK client Tutorial booted using Pendrive on window pc.
Remember to follow this you need some patience and flashing knowledge and risk of bricking device if u don't follow correctly.
If you cannot bear this in mind then please don't follow blindly
This process also works for eu regions if you flashed indian open beta oos12 file.
Windows based MTk client application is available and its very good option but for me it's not detecting the the device so I will create another tutorial soon using that tool.
Requirements:
1) PC with all fastboot ,adb drivers and mediatek vcom drivers installed
3) Pendrive or use separate partation on hard drive
4) download files given below
5) patience and some flashing knowledge is must
