#in_boot #oos12

As OnePlus only released the Oxygen OS 12 Open Beta 1 for Indian Variant only, the Boot Image is only available for the same. So I am not sure whether this boot image will work for users having other regional variant running the same OOS Open Beta.

As of now, there's no OOS12 Open Beta 1 build for Global/European Variants of Nord. The Boot images for those variants will be posted after they are released officially.
