Hi guys,
I hope all of you are fine, now after more than one year of usage of OPPO R7Plusf which was really amazing, it seems like OPPO has no plans to upgrade our phones, when I purchased my device a ColorOS version 2.0 was installed already and recently, it was upgraded to ColorOS version 2.1.0i (based on 5.1.1 Android Lollipop). Nowadays, all of us heard about the Nougat upgrade when we still dreaming with Marshmallow!!
So please, any suggestions for a custom ROM (tested) to upgrade my OPPO phone to Nougat version with no usual known errors or bugs. I will be grateful.
Notice: I contacted both customer support (the local one and the international) and I received the usual formal disappointed answer: "we will inform you when the update is available", which I think it will not be.
So thanks
Anybody here!?
Depends what you like
I currently use Resurrection remix on mine however there are some issues with apps force closing is my main one. Lineage OS also had issues for me with bluetooth causing the phone the reboot over and over. CM 13 was the best but I can't find any download links for it any more (rip CM) I think they both have updates coming outside but I recommend trying some out and then making a decision. Also if your phone is on one of the latest oppo updates (one of the 2016 updates) you'll have to downgrade to a 2015 software as they locked the bootloader so you won't be able to root! It's easy to do just find an old firmware from the internet (I would post links but I can't, also has to be a 2015 one) turn off the phone and turn it back on whilst holding down the volume down button and then go install and install the old firmware and then follow any guides on the internet for installing custom ROMs
Hope this helped

Lol, yeah. There is not much traffic here, but the R7Plusf is still awesome and up to date. Mainly due to good people at LineageOS keeping the device fresh.
I don't have serious issues with AICP on Nougat. No reboots. It is build "on top of" LineageOS, but have more features plus a working theming system. Latest build uploaded today.
Try RR, AICP and LineageOS and see what you like. Wait with Lineage untill the next release (current is Feb 14), if you want to avoid reboots.

So, you recommend the CM13 in case it's available?
And what's the cons and pros?

Sure I will try one of your recommendations, but all I was afraid of was the disappointed bugs after updat such as battery drain, camera errors, wifi issues ... etc. Of course my ColorOS became boring to me, but still stable with no errors
Any pros or cons for those above I will be great full

Battery drain on MM has improved compared to Lollipop and N has improved over MM. With 4 email accounts running (on Aqua Mail) and Location on "High accuracy", Viber messenger and other stuff running, I had not much drain on AICP 11 (MM). Drain during night with Location on "Device" was 0.5% per hour. On MM and especially N, you have many ways in settings you can fine tune battery drain. Many apps are automatically shut down when not in use. You can decide which to limit and which to keep running when phone is off. Without extra apps (as ColorOS has), you can limit what apps are allowed to do and see. All built into the system.
A final word on drain: With Googles and others services running all the time, tracking everything you do, some drain is expected. Luckily this can be turned off by you
The number one reason to upgrade in these hacker friendly times: N is updated with much improved security. Updated every month with the latest security patches.
For me, AICP 11 is error free. The latest MM builds are complete in features and practically error free. Features are still being merged one at the time on N, but is useable as is now with only some minor issues.
I have not tried RR. My guess is that it has more features than AICP, but also more issues.
Lineage is the mother of all, I expect it to be stable with a good set of features.
All the N builds have more or less issues with speaker-phone. It may or may not bother you (or the person in the other end). MM was not affected as much as N, for some unknown reason.
I use Resurrection Rom and very happy with this rom!

Rana, first I'm sure you have been a good phone user and your Oppo R7 plus is upto date, unfortunately this is a problem. So first thing you need to do (Assuming you have unbricked your phone) is find a older version of the genuine R7+ firmware. Preferably some time between 2015- mid2016. The reason for this is OPPO locked the bootloader on later versions, these earlier versions are what the autoroot tool was designed to work on. Once you have this firmware, flash through recovery (provided you still have genuine OPPO recovery), if not you also need to flash this. Once you have the older firmware on your phone you should be able to proceed as usual steps to install lineage on your phone using typical walkthroughs.
what to do next?

Hi Guys..
First i don't know if i am posting this in right thread or not... but I need help... after lots of search i couldn't find anything to unlock my oppo R7 plus running r7plusEx_11_160922 on color os 2.1.o1 android 5.1.1.. As per my study the first thing I need to do it unlock bootloader, then do TWRP, then install any custom rom. (Please correct me if m wrong). Now please tell me how can i unlock my bootloader when I dont have access to fastboot by pressing power and Volume + key. Is there some other way. I have also tried the adb version 1.4.3 to get to the fastboot mode but it restarts my mobile to lock screen.

Download this rom https://www.dropbox.com/s/xmh77xyinz2iero/R7plusfEX_11_OTA_012_all_201512251816.zip?dl=0. Place it in your internal drive and flash it. It will install the ColorOS with an unlockable bootloader.
Even I'm facing the same issue. There are no such methods available on internet. I have ended bricking phone several times. Because since the last update oppo had limited tho access to bootloader. And the phone OPPO r7 plus f is quite old now so there's no people dealing with the issue. The only methods remain is to downgrade the firmware and repay the process again. Better look for some firmware version around mid 2015-2016early. I read somewhere that has access to bootloader. I haven't tried it personally but I hope the methods will work. Please let me know whatever the result is..
need your help badly

As the tiltle said, ive seen the 9.0.155 firmware for all M5 Devices, which means that it might take max. 1 month to be downloaded from ota.
See the screenshot below in the attachment
Update 1: the chinese firmware which is C00 might get merged with the other regions firmware, which means that we might get the advantages of the chinese Firmware (e.g. online themes in theme app, .......)
By the way, this update does support Full screen gestures, i saw it after unpacking the firmware
Note: if you want to flash the firmware using flashy, DONT AND NEVER EVER using eRecovery to downgrade as this will COMPLETELY destroying your device, just do not downgrade for now
Update: EMUI 9 is officially start rolling out, some people already received it through HiCare app, All credits go to @sz.hatef's for this announcement.
Woww great news!! Thanks for sharing!!
Not showing up on my SHT-W09C567. Still waiting for 8.0.0.196 to be approved.
When EMUI 9 is released should we be able to root in the usual fashion?

The name is totally different and in the the description it is mentioned the P8 Vip service.

It is under the c432 firmware which means that it is for European countries, maybe it is still under development, but after unzip the files it shows that it is a base firmware

Flashed it via beta flashy. The proces aborted just before finishing. Nevertheless, I've got Pie up and running on my CMR-W09C432. Rooting via Magisk doesn't work.

If I have an unlocked Bootloader and want to keep it (I am on PHHH-Treble, vendor says 8.0.0.161, C423) that way, but update the vendor, is this Update the way to go?
So unpack, patch ramdisk and flash all the necessary files?
Thanks for any help! (there may stand experienced user at the left, however, I'd say, most posts were in a uite noobish state, so that I advanced into this rank without too much progress )

Due to the crash while flashing, I wouldn't recommend flashing the build at all. Besides, my bootloader stayed unlocked, so updating the vendor should be possible, eventhough I don't see the reason for it? Do you want to flash Pie based GSIs?
Yeah, Pie-based GSI are on the horizon ... can only get one or two to boot (phh and I think Havoc).
Edit: I do not want to lose rot, so I'll have to wait a little longer
Is there anyone who got emui 9 official update? I see it on firmware finder and. 195 build is approved but i didn't get it. Even dns change method doesn't work.

Can you please share a video how the full screen gestures look like?
BTW this crash while rebooting after flashing emui 9 on m5 will cause a HUGE problem if you want to downgrade using eRecovery as it happend once to me, i had to send it to huawei service, this problem will not even let you enter fastboot and you can not even unbrick your device using the chinese version of hisuite, so be careful and try not to enter eRecovery at all, (the crash is because there flashy do flash an only p20 pro FSD (firmware package check disable) and it is not for M5 so the abort will be caused while flashing the xloader (huaweis bootloader)
Hello all,
I have read so many threads, and finally I'm still not sure to have the right method.
My current config has no more memory to update apps so I need to do something ! Here are the details :
Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (PRA-LX1)
build : 8.0.0.402 (C432patch01)
EMUI : 8.0.0
Android : 8.0.0
After reading several threads, here are my questions :
1. I have to use DC Unlocker --> is it always mandatory ?
2. Which TWRP do I have to use ? (link please, I'm completely lost, an still doesn't know which one to download ! :angel: )
3. LineageOS 15.1 seems to be the best choice (battery stamina), does it work perfectly ? (GPS, camera...)
4. What about Treble Project ? I still doesn't understand it is a better idea, how to install it, which ROM to use...
Thanks for all of your replies !
Hello,
DC-Unlocker is mandatory if your bootloader is locked. Recently, TWRP went official on P8 Lite 2017 devices. You can grab it from the official TWRP website (can't post links as I am a new user, search for 'prague' in the device list). I am using LineageOS 15.1 on my device and it's working flawlessly.
I use chimera to unlock bootloader.
But every custom to a have to flash isn't work. Boot loop or other issuses, like "device is uncertificated" so any google apps don't work.
Do i need to decrypt memory? To flash corectly custom rom.
Finally i have only root, and clean all brand apps.

1. Download DC Unlocker from GPlay, buy credits (it will send you username and password to your email)
2. Download DC Unlocker to your pc, in phone allow ADB debuging and HDB
3. Type into call app '*#*#2846579#*#*', tap on 'Background settings', next on 'USB Ports Settings' and select 'Manufacture mode'.
4. Plug your phone to PC and click on 'Detect device' and allow all stuff that will pop up on your phone.
5. Click on 'Server' tab (we are still on PC) and enter username and password you've got from app and 'Check login'.
6. Click on 'Unlocking' tab and choose 'Unlock bootloader code'. And your code should popup in text log.
7. Let's move to your phone, go to settings -> developer settings -> Enable OEM unlocking, enter your password.
8. Power off your phone and when it vibrate push Vol - and Power button at same time.
8. Plug it back to your PC and start Command prompt, enter 'fasboot oem unlock 00112233445566778899' (use your code).
9. Now just accept unlocking and formating all your data on the phone.
10. Download TWRP and let's flash it using command 'fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img' (if your command prompt is in for example C:\Users\Pepege just cd to your Downloads directory where is downloaded .img file)
11. If it's succesfull just type 'fastboot reboot' and keep holding volume up, if eRecovery pops up click on reboot and this time hold volume up and down (idk why but sometimes works this and sometimes this combo)
12. If you are in TWRP just format DATA, CACHE and Dalvik Cache partition, make backup (if you wanna) and now flash whatever you wanna. LOS, AOSP, it's on you.
Also if you wanna LOCK (not relock) your device, download HuRuUpdater, download oldest version of Android for your model and region (C432 in this case) and flash it, after you reboot from recovery go to bootloader (fastboot mode) and type on your pc 'fastboot oem relock 00112233445566778899' then 'fastboot reboot' now do first setup, go to developer options, disable 'Enable OEM unlock', format data again (to be safe) and you are ready to go, after updating to oreo relock status should change to locked.
EDIT: Adding random Youtube video just in case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pclEmwt5C84
EDIT2: Project treble is simply stuff splitting system from vendor, it's on every device runing on oreo or better, more here https://www.xda-developers.com/goog...ze-android-so-oems-can-update-devices-faster/
Also for me best ROM are AOSP 10 and LOS 17.1
No custom rom wanted to boot. The method on this page will not work. All that's left for me is to decrypt the phone's memory. but then knowing that the weekend was over and I needed a phone call on Monday, I just let go.
@DunoCZ
What a great post, thank you so much !!!
Some people have reported more battery consumption on Lineage 16 and 17, compared to 15. Did you test all of these ROM ? Are there people here who have some feedback ?
@flgmnft
If I unterstand well, I need to extract fstab file from the ROM archive in order to remove the encryption : can you confirm or explain me what to do ?
@ilakhnon
It seems you don't have the encryption problem, what is your opinion about it ? did you edit the ROM fstab file ? other ?

hummmmm.... bad news : my phone is not detected by DC Unlocker !
I should have tried before buying the license, but it doesn't matter.
But don't you find it strange ?
oh... I didn't read it correctly, the P8 Lite 2017 is not supported, only the P8 Lite (that was my mistake).
But I wonder if I really need it, because I bought it "sim unlocked", what do you think about it ?
EDIT : in other words, how can I know if I can erase the original bootloader ? (adb method)

Then try using hisuite to downgrade to nougat, but after unlocking upgrade to oreo to have treble enabled.
I'm waiting for an answer from DC unlocker's developper, and I will test this solution if I don't have another choice.
(I don't know if it is easy to downgrade with HiSuite, I've never used it, I will see that later).
Thank you for your help.

Hello @DunoCZ,
I was thinking about this post... I won't need to unlock the bootloader if I downgade to Nougat ?
Is there a topic talking about it ?
EDIT : Sorry, I didn't read correctly your post. Unlocking will probably be mandatory, so it doesn't change anything for me.

oh... I didn't read it correctly, the P8 Lite 2017 is not supported, only the P8 Lite (that was my mistake).
But I wonder if I really need it, because I bought it "sim unlocked", what do you think about it ?
EDIT : in other words, how can I know if I can erase the original bootloader ? (adb method)

There's no problem unlocking 2017 with DC Unlocker which I did two days ago.
Install HiSuite and run it once to be sure you got proper drivers and make sure you put USB into manufacture mode.
cactus2000 said:
I'm waiting for an answer from DC unlocker's developper, and I will test this solution if I don't have another choice.
(I don't know if it is easy to downgrade with HiSuite, I've never used it, I will see that later).
Thank you for your help.

I had the same issue, and contacted dc_unlocker's developer. Basically, the software can read the bootloader unlock password if it just discoverer the phone's port, even if does not seem to recognize the phone. I had to go ahead an got the code, for 4 credits/€
I'm also interested in knowing what is the best overall ROM these days in terms of compatibility and battery consumption!
Hello all,
Sorry for my silence, I had to go back to work, and after a few days I was seriously ill. I begin to recover some energy, it's not great, but enough to come back here... and because my phone, stiill with the original system, becomes really too slooooooooooooow !
@buteo : Do you confirm me I can go further with DC-unlocker software, in order to unlock the bootloader without any risk ?
@All :
As @Natural_High asked, which ROM is currently the best choice ?
Thanks for your help !

You can use DC-unlocker, it's safe. I used it myself a couple of months ago too.
Regarding the ROM, I haven't tried any Android 10 or 9 ROMs. From what I've seen, people say it's still a bit too buggy, so I went for LineageOS 15.1 and it worked fine. I did some tests, since I don't use it as my daily driver, but eveything seemed to work fine! anyway, feel free to try some of the newer ROMs and let us know your opinion
Thank you very much for your answer !
Lineage 15.1 was my preferred choice, I think I will use it.
I hope I won't have any issues, since I really need my phone...
Let's go for backup...

Hello, Can any smart person because I'm slow lol help me get the Recovery or the Boot.img for a Motorola Edge 2021, My version is 12 (S1RMS32.48-18-11-2-3). Thanks
You can download a factory image straight from Motorola themselves, using the Lenovo "Rescue and Smart Assistant" (Lenovo RSA).
I personally used this excellent guide from another user right on this very form, that also mentions grabbing the image(s).

I understand that yes but my problem is that I don't have a laptop or PC to run the program so I'm trying to find another way to get the firmware for my Edge 2021, And if I can't do that is there any custom ROM compatible with this device that I could use to patch it with magisk?
So far I have not seen any custom ROMs supporting this device (I think it should come eventually; the last gen has support).
This post includes a download link for an up to date Android 11 ROM. I haven't used it yet though. I'm a little nervous about downloading ROMs from random links, but since I used the guide from the same user (last post you replied to), it feels trustworthy. But use at your own risk.

oh forgive me for forgetting to mention this...
but I'm 99% sure you REQUIRE a PC to flash images onto a phone, since you use the adb debug tool to manipulate the phone while it's in fastboot mode.

I did try it but instead of fully flashing the img I just did fastboot boot so that it would only boot into it one time and it didn't work at all so my only chance of rooting my device is using a PC to get the firmware of my phone, And thanks for the help.

1st method: You need a code from Infinix to unlock. and put that code after the command like "fastboot OEM unlock 0x<insert your unlock code>" if you have otherwise contact the service care at this phone number 1800-4190-525 and ask them regarding unlock code of the bootloader/fastboot/ or OEM key.
2nd method: Go to your nearest service center of Carlcare or Infinix/Itel/Tecno/Spice and ask them about these scenarios maybe they will help you to unlock the bootloader/fastboot/ or OEM.
3rd method: Wait for the next firmware update maybe they will make an update that probably can unlock the bootloader/fastboot/ or OEM.
4th method: Wait for the completion of 1 year, they could maybe make an update that probably unlocks the bootloader/fastboot/ or OEM.
5th method: Sell your phone if you can because probably they will never give the privileges to the users after all it's a budget phone.
I hope you will install GSI ROMs
Have a nice day dude.
By the way, if you need any other help then you are always welcome.

I did not find information on how to unlock the bootloader for X6817, X6816C, X6816 or X6816D.
How do you know that this is possible?
What model variant do you have?

Predicted as I unlocked many bootloader of different brands.
I have Infinix Hot 12 Play ( X6816C).
Ohh sorry, I thought you replied to me.
So do you have any other ways to bypass/skip or deploy this thing?

For the best experience, you need to install Linux based any variant just like I am using Fedora 36. But the famous hacking-based Linux is Kali (Backtrack) Linux which have many tools and hacking application installed by default.

If you didn't find any TWRP file for purpose of custom rom for your device then try out GSI (Generic System Image) rom which is provided by the Google, Havoc, LineageOS and many other organisation. You can watch a YouTube video for the related content of GSI rom for your ease.

No problem dude, by the way, you can use Universal Android Debloater application to debloat your android phone just like your Infinix phone graphically without root or Shizuku. I have a good experience after I debloated my phone.
It's available on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux as well as on other operating systems.

Don't worry brother it will not effect on your warranty related things. I have tested that things early which you are talking about. By the way you can restore your all the applications which you are going to uninstall by UAD. And also if you reset or format your phone then all the applications will come back. It's 100% safe.
