Unfortunately I could not find a guide on the bluboo s8 root. anyone help me?
Help to root and change launcher.
That would be awesome. Also, can anyone tell me how to change the launcher? It seems it's protected and I cannot use Nova by defect. Always the factory one comes back.
Thanks in advance...
I tried kingroot but it failed. The bluboo's s8 360 os is a little bit anoying. Especialy the big icons and screen size. A root will make te phone worth buying it. now its just a phone my moms woud like. (Maybe thats a compliment.)
i tryed by: Rootkhp Pro not function
kingroot not function
root genius not function
one click root nothing !!
any news ?
I do not understand the language, maybe that helps

I don't have my hands on mine yet (Monday Oct 2nd)so I can't say one way or the other if this will work but I found that the Bluboo Maya uses the same 360 GUI and there is program called rootkhp.pro (i would post a link but it wont let me) that can root that phone so maybe let cross reference anything that can root the bluboo Maya and it may give us some solid leads into rooting the S8 so anyone know anything about the Maya or that rootkhp program I opened it up and seem to be running on my ubuntu desktop I'm going threw the code and from what seen in other root programs it looking very run of the mill. Anyone know of any other phones running this 360 OS?
Probably, your boot loader is locked.
Please take a backup of ur data before proceeding further.
Try this,
Download adb and Koush Universal adb driver and install them on ur pc, always install the driver first and don't install the drivers adb setup asks u to install.
Run command prompt as administrator.
Open the folder in c drive where adb is installed, u can use file explorer for this.
Press Shift+right click and select open command window here.
Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to the pc by a USB cord.
Enter command "adb devices" without quotation marks.
If it shows some device connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " adb reboot bootloader"
Enter command " fastboot devices", if it shows some device to be connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " fastboot oem unlock".
Ur phone may then ask for final confirmation on the phone screen, select yes.
When procedure completes, type "fastboot reboot" and ur phone will reboot.
U can now use Kingoroot or any other tool for rooting.

I can open bootloader, but when my phone in fastboot mode not detected in PC.
any solution ?
Here trick for change homescreen.
Install Apus Launcher - Apus Setting - Set as default launcher - choose your launcher
it work for me, but just temporary. after you restart your phone, you must do this again.
Your guide do not function, beacuse when unlock bootloader do not recognize the phone
Finally Bluboo S8 Rooted

Edit: I access to the phone via USB without problems. Also install Windows_10_MTK_VCOM_USB_Preloader_Drivers. And the USB is in debugging mode.
Probed all usb ports of my computer. Same error all times.
Some problem the procedure don t work
BROM ERROR: STAUS_DEVICE_CTRL_EXCEPTION (0XC0050001)
In this procedure di not specific if debug USB is enable? And the bootloader in the developement menù. Please post a video o a detailed procedure thanks

Bluboo S8 launcher change - No root
Hi
Woukd like to share a way to switch Bluboo S8 launcher to another one.
1. On Google Play store, download and install iLauncher X or S+ Launcher
2. Start iLauncher X and goto Preferences icon.
3. You will see an button called "set as default". Swipe it ON and you will be able to select any launcher installed in your Bluboo S8 and set it as default.
Seems to work with S+ Launcher as well.
This works but does not survive to reboot.
Hope this helps.
Lila.
any of you tried to install magisk? because i tried it with flashify but it does not work.
And busybox do not install , this type of root is limited for me.
Check the video for Transforming bluboo S8 to Samsung s8 exactly.!!! By using launchers and No ROOT

Hi folks, I have just got my Find X2 Pro today and so far I am loving it, however one feature is missing for me. On my old Mate 20 Pro, I had the google discover feed if I did swipe right....is there anyway to enable this on the Oppo phone. All I currently have is the smart assistant which does work but its not ideal.

Not sure if you figured this out, I was going to do a guide but decided just to post here:
All you need to do to get the discover feed (only tested on ColorOS 11), is to remove the Oppo smart assistant app (what you currently get when swiping left on the home screen).
You need to force the app off with ADB, reboot your phone and as long as you have the Google app installed, you'll have the discover feed!
The ADB command to run is:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
If for some reason you want to reinstall, you can do so with this command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.coloros.assistantscreen
If you don't know how to get and use ADB, here's a quick guide.....
You can download Platform Tools directly from the Android developer here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
There are loads of more detailed guides on how to use ADB, but basic steps are:
Download the platform tools from the link above and extract to somewhere on your PC, e.g. C:/platform-tools
Open a command prompt on your PC (type cmd in the Windows search bar) and right click on it then run as Administrator
Change the directory to where your 'platform-tools' folder (so something like 'cd C:/platform-tools')
On your phone, USB debugging needs to be enabled, so:
Enable developer options by going to settings > About Phone > Version and clicking on Build number several times
Under Additional Settings > Developer Options, enable 'USB Debugging'
Plug your phone into a USB port on the PC
Make sure your phone is on 'Transfer Files / Android Auto' mode (the default is 'Charge only' mode)
Once set, you should get a popup on your phone to ask to Allow USB debugging, click 'Allow'.
Back in the command prompt, type 'adb devices' and hit return (you should see the serial number of your phone if connected)
Now you can get deleting - run the command mentioned above to remove the smart assistant app.
Note that it doesn't actually delete the app from the phone, it just removes it for the main user, i.e. you.
Done, enjoy!

Works perfectly on my Find X2 Lite (ColorOS 11 too). Thank you so much for the wonderful guide! I just received the April 2021 update (by using a VPN to France). and without adding back Oppo Smart Assistant, it appears to work just fine. Also worth noting that the annoying Smart Assistant did not come back from this update.
So it seems (to me at least) that you don't need to bring back Smart Assistant before every update. But still, I would recommend doing so just anyways, especially when the Android 12 update comes around.

I just tried it and, at least in my case, worked only the first swipe and then it disappeared.
I'm on a Find X2 Pro (ColorOS 12 - CPH2025_11_F.13)
However I found out that it worked by updating the stock laucher. I don't know if I can share here the apk, but you can find it online: com.android.launcher_12.0.50-12050_minAPI30(arm64-v8a,armeabi,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi).apk
With this, after the uninstall od the OPPO Assistant via ABD, you'll have Google feed discover working on ColorOS 12
Anyone got this working for ColorOS 13?
When I run:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
I get a message saying the package can't be found???
