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

Hello,
I'm new to Xiaomi world, and i want to understand some points :
I have a Xiaomi 10 Ultra with MIUI 12.0.15.QJJCNXM Stable by xiaomi.eu installed by the Trandingshenzen + TWRP 3.4.2b-0623 wzsx150
Today i received an OTA notification for the update to 12.1.1.0.RJJCNXM
I need some answers to understand how Xiaomi world works :
1-What is my rom exactly ? official, no-official, fan-build ...
2-Base on the first question, the OTA i recevied is Official also or other variant (no-official, Fan-build) ?
3-As i have a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader, the OTA can be installed on my phone or it will brick my phone ?
4-If answer to question 3 is yes(OTA Installed), am i loosing the TWRP or not ? (Important question)
5-If answer to 3 is No, how can go get OTA updated ? (maybe flashing a full rom will be a solution, this will make me loosing all data ? and TWRP also ? )
Last one 6-which are official/Stable roms available for the Mi 10 ULTRA beside chinese orignal one ?
Thanks a lot guys for your understanding and your help.
Regards,
1-What is my rom exactly ? official, no-official, fan-build ...
It is the stable ROM branch. It is based on the official latest stable Chinese version, so as near official as it can get.
2-Base on the first question, the OTA i recevied is Official also or other variant (no-official, Fan-build) ?
Any OTA downloaded version will be the next stable released version based on the above answer.
3-As i have a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader, the OTA can be installed on my phone or it will brick my phone ?
You will not brick your phone by using OTA notified updates. I would remind you to use a pattern screen lock currently as the pin or password versions may not work with your twrp version. It won't hurt if you try but as it won't decrypt your ROM, you can't update, so just reboot system and change screen lock to pattern and try again.
4-If answer to question 3 is yes(OTA Installed), am i loosing the TWRP or not ? (Important question)
As long as you stay on EU ROMs, your twrp will remain. If you change branch to Chinese stock, it will be removed. But you would have to do this manually, so you would know. Your OTA updates will remain EU.
5-If answer to 3 is No, how can go get OTA updated ? (maybe flashing a full rom will be a solution, this will make me loosing all data ? and TWRP also ? )
If you flash the same branch ROM manually, you need to just wipe dalvik and cache. However if you decide to go to weekly, beta, branch ROMs or back to stock Chinese, you would then need to Format due to possible partition differences between them. If you don't, it may boot loop.
Last one 6-which are official/Stable roms available for the Mi 10 ULTRA beside chinese orignal one ?
Currently only one custom ROM is available and that it EU versions, either stable or weekly, beta. There was another available but that was based on the EU ROM but more like an ASOP ROM. However, it looks like further development has now stopped.
Thanks a lot for your prompt answer, very clear.
So basically the branch rom MIUI by Xiaomi.eu has it own OTA system, which gonna update to the new MIUI by Xiaomi.eu and keep my TWRP as before (just need to decrypt rom when installing) ?
I saw that you have also a Xiaomi 10 Ultra, which rom are you using by the way ?
thanks again for your time
Yes, that's right, its own OTA will keep it on the same branch using twrp.
I use the EU weekly or beta branch of ROM. I've never had any show stoppers in the updates and obviously got A11 earlier and miui12.5 too. It's taken from the Wednesday Chinese nightly each week, converted to EU format and ready normally by Friday and for OTA on Saturday evening. Due to in house testing and Chinese holidays, it sometimes doesn't update every week but not far off.
If you decide to change to weekly, then you will need to format once flashed but after that and as long as you stay on it, just dalvik and cache wipes after each update. Again, please remember that twrp may not be able to decrypt the phone for updating unless you use a pattern screen lock.
Enjoy your phone, I came from. Huawei P40 pro plus due to Google issues and use at work but this phone is pretty much as good, if not better. Lots of people here and over at the Xiaomi EU forums to answer any questions.
thanks a lot, very kind from. Just updated to OTA android 11 Miui 12.1.1.
(My TWRP decrypt both ways : Pin and Pattern, i tried both)
Was hoping to get P40 Pro also, but as they dont provide bootloader unlock anymore so i get the Ultra which is way better until now.
cheers
I have installed PixelExperience-Plus-veux-12.1-1333 to my POCO X4 Pro 5G.
The setup and getting the root with Magisk was completely successful.
Then I found there is a newer version of PE "12.1-1405" and tried to update PE with adb sideload.
As a result, Pixel Experience has been broken and Recovery mode said following.
Can't load Android System. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need ti perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device.

I know that running a factory reset may take me right. But I do not want to remove my storage data.
Is there a way to fix it and update my system without such trouble.
I think it is really ridiculous that update requires a factory reset.
How did you get the PE?
May want to ask wherever you downloaded it from. Flashing random roms external to XDA when you don't have a working recovery is asking for trouble imo

I think the best thing you can do rn is get your phone to adb sideload mode using the lineage unofficial recovery u have installed and pull internal storage to ur pc (u can find guides on how to do that everywhere) now factory reset and then flash the rom
Also please from the next time u try to update/change rom use something like migrate to backup everything

How do you find the ROM's when the device is not listed in the official website?
Search up your phone's FASTBOOT stock miui ROM (chill, we will not go back to stock, we will stay at PE, we just need vbmeta.img), download it, extract and find vbmeta.img under images folder, put into c drive not under any folder, then execute FASTBOOT command:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta C:\vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot

They mostly port custom roms unofficially the only official custom roms available for the device is Descendant OS and Miui Mix
they have ported:

Lineage OS
They have even ported a lineage recovery for the device although it's not the best it's what we have for now till we get a TWRP/Orange Fox recovery (which might still take a while, sadly the X4 Pro isn't as popular of a device or even if it is it's popular as one of the worst processor choices in a 2022 device)

Thanks for the reply. I have redmi note 11 pro + 5g(india), and one of the reason I bought this device because I thought development is going to be quite good. I thought the processor is alright (yes Gpu is bit old) given the price and now that every other device is going with mediatek, a device with snapdragon adds to the reason to go for this one. But Still it's a bit early to say about the development support, don't you think?

Xiaomi still haven't released the kernel source code yet. See https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/branches/all. No new branches for quite a while. Until then I doubt custom rom development for this device will pick up.

Can I do that with other ROM?
I am afraid of losing my data so I have not tryed it.
Hi. I am new on XDA-Developers forum and I am also trying root my phone first time and have some questions about it what maybe all have been here in forum already but asking still.
So I want root my phone (OnePlus 9 Pro, LE2121_11_C.61) and I want continue using OnePlus own OxygenOS. Is it possible?
If I have understand right I can continue use OxygenOS and there is no need for updating to use custom ROM after root. But when coming new updates for OxygenOS from OnePlus, then I need download and update it manually every time or have some kind of auto update feature or app?
If I want update to global version my 9Pro how it can do? Lose I all data in process? This is some Saudi Arabian version and I want Global or EU version or what ever else than Saudi.
This guide maybe best what is available and Magisk method is easiest for first timer?
How to Root OnePlus 9 Pro – Four Different METHODS!
Hello, today, in this article, I will show you how to Root OnePlus 9 Pro. This guide is very straightforward. You just have to follow the steps carefully.
www.guidetoroot.com
1. Yes. I'm doing it now.
2. You will have to download the whole ROM and do a local update, then patch it with Magisk before rebooting to keep root. You'll patch the inactive slot. It'll change to that when it reboots.
3. It looks like you're using an A12 slot. I'm not familiar with your version. Under A11, you could use Oxygen Updater, download the version you want and flash it. Your data would remain. If you were on A12 and you downgraded to A11, you would lose your data.
I have a Russian (thanks Amazon !!) Redmi 9a 32Gb/2gb. It is currently running latest 12.0.x ROM version, but i would like to upgrade it to 12.5.
I see on xiaomi ROM site there is currently a 12.5.x version for Russian version, but the OTA never arrived and if i download the recovery zip file and install it manually, it fails verification and stops.
Is there a way to install 12.5 without unlocking the bootloader ?
Is 12.5 supported on this specific redmi 9a ?
thanks !
mmm... spflashtool might work, but Ive only ever used it on a bircked device to unbrick it, never on a functional device to just change the ROM version, but if you really wanna do it without unlocking bootloader thats your best choice.
I will say anyway, its probably safer to unlock bootloader install recovery and install the rom from there, its your call tho.
Heres how I unbricked my device

Thanks
Right now I cannot unlock the bootloader, maybe in the next months I might try (I want to wait for the warranty to expire). My concern is that my version of Redmi 9A with just 2G of Ram is actually not compatible with MIUI 12.5. The 12.5 rom is actually available, but OTA will leave me in the 12.0 branch and verification fails if I try to install the ROM manually. I would not want to brick it by installing an unsupported ROM.
My phone model is M2006C3LG and the ROM I have right now says I have 1.8Gb of available RAM, I don't think you have a different device from mine.
Im a total n00b so I may be wrong about this next thing, but, I think the only difference is what version of MIUI they were sold with since the hardware doesn't allow downgrades further than the stock ROM that came with the device.
There is always antirollback after MIUI 10, but I think its even further locked for the original stock ROM that came to the device, but yeah, this is all my own speculation due to a bricking incident I faced.
The model number is the same, but the 9A was available with different sizes of RAM 2 or 3 or 4 Gb. Mine is the low end 32/2 which is the model still on sale today. If you still have 1.8 Gb of free RAM you very likely has the 3 or 4 GB model.
Maybe you are right, the OTA allows only for updates within the same MIUi version; I saw several guides on-line and i think i will try the miflash tool and switch to the global version. I have to find a way to unlock bootloader without Xiaomi account (no way in hell I'm signing up for that) and without sim card (this phone is used as a smaller wi-fi only tablet). There are some tools for an offline unlock, I will try those first.
It is incredible how Xiaomi is making it complex just to update to a stable official ROM; given also how much bloatware is shovelled with the stock ROM, I'm not sure I will ever consider Xiaomi again.

In my opinion, DON'T UPGRADE. I upgraded it with recovery and fastboot and my phone got an message everytime when I boot it : dm verity corrupted and I will need to press power button again to work. Maybe i didn't did that correctly ( I have Global 12.0.20 32/2gb)

Thanks for the info. So you upgraded to latest 12.0 without moving to 12.5, any reason for not trying 12.5 ? The phone is currently barely usable with Android 10, maybe Android 11 is even heavier, but why not give it a try ?
I saw several youtube videos and guides and by using MI Flash with a Fastboot image (scattered tgz) it should be a total reflash of the phone.
