All of OnePlus' phones are easily unlockable.
-
However, do tread with caution as OPPO and OnePlus have merged their codebases into a "unified codebase", so OnePlus can, at any time, disable their unlocks.
-
This means OnePlus, at any time, can **completely pull an OPPO** and lock their unlock process.
+
## Global phones or Chinese phones up to ColorOS 16.0
+
All OnePlus phones on the global market, as well as Chinese models up to ColorOS 16.0, can be easily unlocked using the [standard procedure](../../misc/generic-unlock.md).
-
OnePlus also used to provide Deep Testing for their SIM-locked devices in the US, however they have stopped doing this.
+
## Chinese phones running ColorOS 16.0 and above
+
According to the [OnePlus forum](https://bbs.oneplus.com/thread/1926504022886318086), for phones and tablets sold in mainland China, unlocking the bootloader is **only possible via an official application to join the “Deep Testing” program**.
+
+
**Main requirements:**
+
- Account must be in good standing (no violations or restrictions)
+
- No application submitted in the past 30 days
+
- Device is not a corporate or carrier-customized model
+
+
> **Note:** These restrictions currently apply only to devices sold in mainland China. However, due to the unified OPPO–OnePlus codebase, similar restrictions may be introduced for global models in the future.
