UPDATE:
For the OxygenOS Open Beta users, OnePlus recently released a new stable OxygenOS update to the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro users, which is accidentally rolled out for some Beta users. According to some users, the Stable update over the Open Beta 3, causing a full data wipe.
Here’s the official response in OnePlus forums:
It seems like some users are reporting receiving the Stable update over the Open Beta 3, leading to a full data wipe. This information was already shared with the the software team so it can be checked and addressed. Meanwhile, if you receive an update OTA, please double-confirm if it’s an Open Beta update. If it isn’t, please DO NOT install it.
We strongly suggest you to backup your key data via a cloud service, perform a full backup via OnePlus Switch, and transfer it to a computer or a USB drive for double insurance.
