v4.2026.009 (Preview)
New Features
1. MediaTek Bootloader Unlock
Added Bootloader unlock support for MediaTek devices, allowing unlock operations to be completed without relying on third-party tools. The unlock process is integrated into the corresponding module, making the workflow more straightforward.
2. OnePlus Offline Authorization
Added an offline authorization mechanism for OnePlus devices. Currently only select devices in the OnePlus 7 / 8 / 9 series are supported. It allows authorization verification to complete even without a network connection or when the authorization server is unreachable, effectively handling temporary disconnections, server maintenance, and similar situations to improve continuity and success rate of the flashing process.
Instructions (all require checking "OnePlus Offline Authorization"):
1. Connect-only operations
Prepare the device project number in advance. Select a boot file that matches the device; if the model distinguishes DDR versions, make sure the boot file's DDR type also matches the device. After checking the option, you will be prompted to enter the project number during connection. Once connected, you can perform normal operations such as reading the partition table, reading back partitions, erasing partitions, and writing partitions.
2. When you cannot provide a boot file
Import a firmware package that matches the device. After checking the option, you can connect to the device using the boot file inside the firmware package, with no need to prepare a boot file yourself or manually enter the project number.
3. Flashing operations
After importing the firmware package, put the device into 9008 port and check the option, then simply write the partitions. The program will automatically send the boot file and connect, with no need to manually enter the project number.
Notes:
In OnePlus Offline Authorization mode, the "Protect LUN5" checkbox must not be checked, and do not manually uncheck LUN5 flashing. Some devices do not have an OCDT partition, so do not check "Update OCDT" during flashing. In addition, "Write download complete flag" is unavailable on some devices.
v3.2026.028
Fix cloud elf problem

Please note that this release marks the final maintenance update for the V3 series. As of this version, all feature development for the V3 line will officially cease.
