===adding Anti-Rollback mechanisms to devices (''2026-01-18'')===

On 18 January 2026, AdaUnlocked, a user on the XDA Forums, reported that the ColorOS 16.0.3.501 update introduces a hardware-level Anti-Rollback (ARB) mechanism for OnePlus 13/13T and 15 smartphones. Updating to the version causes the anti-rollback fuse to be blown which leads to permanent bricking of the device if any older ROM (custom or not) is flashed to it. <ref>{{Cite web |last=AdaUnlocked |date=2026-01-18 |title=General - [CRITICAL WARNING] ColorOS 16.0.3.501 Updates = PERMANENT Anti-Rollback (ARB) & Fuse Blown.
