Crucial Warning: Match the firmware branch (Export/India-Global vs GDPR/Europe) to the branch your unit shipped with before flashing; the model number IV2201 is identical on both, so the branch tag in the filename (export vs GDPR) is the only way to tell them apart before flashing. The NV/dump-style package distributed for this device is intended for NV/IMEI recovery and is explicitly marked as a downgrade file — it carries anti-rollback risk described in the Bootloader Note above and should not be treated as a routine reflash option.

OnePlus_Nord_CE_2_IV2201_EX_11_A.09_220121_11.zip
Earliest known Export-branch build, dated three weeks before the India retail launch on Feb 17, 2022; likely the factory-preload build rather than a public OTA push.

A.09 and A.10 carry the same 2022-01-21 build date across two independent firmware archives; both are listed as they are the only pre-launch Export builds documented.

Same C.09 build as the Local Upgrade OTA zip above, repackaged as a full raw-partition ROM for SP Flash Tool/MTK Download Tool rather than on-device sideload.

OnePlus_Nord_CE_2_IV2201_Dump_File_NV_File_Read_Unlock_Downgraded_File.zip
Not a standard Export or GDPR OTA build; a raw dump package for NV/IMEI recovery, explicitly labeled as a downgrade file, and intended for read/unlock repair scenarios rather than routine reflashing. See the anti-rollback caution in the Bootloader Note.

- Confirm your exact firmware branch — Export (India/Global) or GDPR (Europe)
- For a routine reflash, use Local Upgrade from Settings > System Updates with the matching OTA zip
- Fall back to SP Flash Tool or MTK Download Tool for full-ROM or NV/dump packages
- Match the build letter (A/C/F series) and branch tag exactly before flashing
- Verify Android version, network, and IMEI after flashing
Expand preparation checklist for OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G (IV2201 Ivan)
- Confirm the device is IV2201 from Settings > About phone, and note whether the unit was originally sold in India/other export markets or in Europe.
- Identify which firmware branch the unit is currently running — export or GDPR — from the build number shown in Settings > About phone > Version, since both branches can carry the same build letter (e.g. C.07) as separate, non-interchangeable packages.
- Back up any accessible user data; Local Upgrade OTA zips and full-ROM SP Flash Tool packages both wipe user data on anything beyond a same-branch incremental update.
- Back up the device's NV/IMEI partition separately before using the NV/dump-style package, since that package is specifically an NV-repair tool and mismatched use can affect IMEI/modem provisioning.
- Install the MediaTek USB drivers and SP Flash Tool or MTK Download Tool before attempting a PC-based flash; Local Upgrade OTA zips only require the file to be copied to the device's internal storage.
- Use a reliable USB cable and a charged battery (70%+) for any SP Flash Tool session.
Compatibility & Bootloader Notes
Reflashing a Local Upgrade OTA zip or a full-ROM SP Flash Tool package restores the system, vendor, and related partitions only; it does not itself change the bootloader lock state. Locking or unlocking the bootloader on the Nord CE 2 is a separate 'fastboot oem unlock'/'fastboot oem lock' procedure with Developer Options > OEM Unlocking enabled first. Standard Local Upgrade OTA zips carry a build-number check and will refuse to install a build older than the one currently running; the NV/dump-style packages distributed for this device (packaged for SP Flash Tool rather than Local Upgrade, and explicitly labeled as a downgrade/NV-repair file) bypass that check, but MediaTek devices enforce anti-rollback protection at the hardware level, so installing an older build through SP Flash Tool is not guaranteed safe on every unit and can hard-brick a device whose anti-rollback fuses have already advanced.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both use the same IV2201 model number, but Export packages are built for India and other global markets while GDPR packages are built for Europe; the branch tag appears in the firmware filename and in the build number shown in Settings > About phone, and the two branches are not interchangeable.
OnePlus releases Export and GDPR firmware on a roughly parallel schedule, so both branches can reach the same build letter within days of each other as two separate packages rather than one shared file.
It is a raw SP Flash Tool partition dump used for NV/IMEI recovery on a unit with modem or IMEI corruption, not a branded OxygenOS build; it is explicitly labeled as a downgrade file and carries the anti-rollback risk described in the Bootloader Note, so it should be used only for that repair scenario.
No. OxygenOS 13 (Android 13) is the final major OS version OnePlus shipped for this device; no OxygenOS 14/Android 14 build was released.
