can't remove project spectrum v1.1

my phone is a Oppo R7S 32GB and I currently have Project Spectrum installed version v1.1 beta
I don't really like it so I want to remove it
When trying to install the old colorOS zip file from the default recovery
it always says 'installation failed'
phone is not rooted
phones bootloader is locked
fastboot screen shows for about 10 seconds then disappears
I can access the recovery no problem, the problem is I want to get rid of Project Spectrum and want to go back to default
any help is appreciated
thanks all

I'm not really sure how to help sorry, I'm having problems as well. The fastboot does close by itself if it's not connected to a computer, I know that much.

Copy this ROM to internal SD and flash from recovery

You need to find a coloros rom from 2015. The 2016 Coloros Roms have the bootloader locked
---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------
Here is a link to an older ColorOS that should have an unlockable bootloader.

hey i am also trying to unlock the bootloader. i just wanted to ask you that after it says 'Failed installation' does you phone boot into the 2016 rom or it gets hardbricked?

After flashing older firmware install twrp recovery and then flash lineageos.

Hi all, I have an Oppo r7plusf international and flashed LineageOS successfully but WiFi wasn't working. Found a thread where someone mentioned to flash project spectrum ROM as a fix and tried that. However after flashing PS successfully and confirmed everything is working I then try to reboot into recovery mode only to find out twrp stopped working. Anyone had similar experience know a way to get twrp back so lineageOS can be flash?

I'm in the same situation... my phone is booting into Spectrum ROM V1.0 Beta... everything works, but now i can't boot into Fastboot and i can not boot into Recovery... so it seems i am stuck with the ROM and I too want to go to Lineage ROM.
Anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this?

Upgrade from 32.2.A.0.305 to 32.2.A.5.11

Hi!
Did anybody managed to upgrade from unlocked an rooted 32.2.A.0.305 to 32.2.A.5.11?!
I tried it at least five times and I failed.
Everything seems to work, except unlocking the bootloader and gaining root access.
1) Flashed the new firmware with Flashtool (without TA partitions!).
2) Tried to unlock the bootloader but this is not working as expected.
The service menu tells me that I can unlock my bootloader.
But when I try to unlock it via fastboot I am getting a message, that my device is already rooted/unlocked.
FAILED (remote: Device is already rooted)
So I locked it again using the "Sony Mobile Flasher". After a reboot the "fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x....." command gives me an OKAY and after the next reboot my device is automatically wiped.
But the service menu still tells me that my bootloader is unlockable and not that is unlocked!
Installing the patched kernel and TWRP seems to work because fastboot returns an "OKAY".
But neither I can access the TWRP recovery (LED won't get amber) nor the device is rooted.
Okay.... does anybody can give me a hint, how to root the current FW version?!

Ok, I downgraded to 32.2.A.0.305 and everything is working fine again!
I have root access and I can boot into recovery!
What is wrong with 32.2.A.5.11?

im on .I 1 , bootloader unlocked , rooted
got same error as u
device already rooted
so i just didnt check what services menu say and rooted my z5

How did you do this?
I flashed a modifyed kernel (dm-verity: off, RIC: off, TWRP: no, DRM fix: yes, busybox: no) with
fastboot flash boot boot.img
But I cannot install SuperSU from PlayStore.
It sais that the su binary is missing and that it cannot be installed.
So, next I tried to install TWRP with
fastboot install recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-E6653-20160504.img
But on a reboot the LED is not getting amber and I cannot enter recovery.
It seems that neither the patched kernel nor the recovery has been installed. Even though fastboot returned with an OKAY for both install commands!
First I thought that something went wrong patching the kernel with rootkernel5.0. So I downloaded and flashed an already patched one for 32.2.A.5.11. But I have still no root access!
From loud despair I flashed the SLIMX REBORN ROM (1.17BEATMODE). Now I have full root access again, but on 32.2.A.0.305 with my old problems: a) The SU binary cannot be updated from within SuperSU app and b) SONY annoys me to update to the new version every day.
I can't believe that it is not possible to root the new version or that it just doesn't work for my device.

u missed 1 small detail
first : download flashable supersu ( supersu. zip )
then put it in rootkernel folder
build the kernel
u will get extra question asking u to install supersu ( the answer is yes )
flash ur boot. img
thats it

Hi!
I know that I can integrate SuperSU into the kernel image.
But I cannot upgrade a su binary installed that way by using the SuperSU app from playstore.
The PlayStore / TWRP method for SuperSU works like a charm on 32.2.A.0.305.
But I will give it a seventh try with "AndroPlusKernel Permissive v42" instead of the patched stock kernel.

Okay, I am giving up for now!
Buying a SONY phone was one of my worst decisions in 2016.
After a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and a HTC One M8 the SONY Z5 drives me crazy.
After installing 32.2.A.5.11, SuperSU 2.79 and AndroPlus kernel v42 I still have a phone that is unrooted!
And TWRP is reporting the unknown partition "/keymaster"....

so u have supersu installed and working ?
if thats the case i also have binary update problem when updating it from playstore
---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------
i would suggest one way
first u have 2 IMEI
try unlocking the bootloader with the the other IMEI
UNLOCK using flashtool
then root kernel
---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------
if things didnt work out
use this rom on .305

I managed to install it via TWRP but as you can see "Root Check" says that my device is not rooted and that the SU binary cannot be found! The same error with the SuperSU app itself. The message means that the su binary cannot be found and SuperSU is not able to install it!

Unfortunately you can not be anything with the vote, you have to wait 14 days

A am not worried about the waiting period, I don't want to lose warranty.. with rooting only it is not certain, with unlocking bootloader it is certain that warranty is void...

The guarantee is not so important. Root and use it without problems. The solution for closing soon may also come.

help rooting my op6

I am on open beta 6 (pie) with unlocked bootloader and I want to flash twrp and root my phone , can someone tell me how to do it right way , cos once I tried and ended up with warning screen from Qualcomm

If you go into the section right underneath this one, Guides etc. There's a few guides to get you back on track.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=27466#downloads
You need latest Blu spark twrp to make it work.
Like the guide you are reading (I guess)
Fastboot boot Blu_spark.twrp.img
In twrp flash Blu_spark.twrp.zip
Reboot to twrp
Flash magisk
So the issue here was u probably used stock twrp

Seems this thread is finished and I would like to sneak a question in on rooting,,,,,, Its been a while since I have rooted being pre-magisk, has it gotten easier to receive OTA updates and security patches? And use Google Pay?
