Disclamer
1. Rooting your device may void your warranty!
2. Please note that I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about applying this modification and remember, YOU are choosing to make these modifications and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. A lot.
Notice
1. OPPO Tools claims to support both the R7 and R7 Plus (check the about tab) but I have only tested it with the OPPO R7g! If you are using a different varaient- PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!
2. USING THIS TOOL IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, UPON DOWNLOADING AND USING THIS TOOL YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE AND MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO RECIEVE OTA UPDATES. (Side note: You will still have access to manual updates.)

ColorOs Version: V2.1.0i
Compilation number: R7plusfEX_11:150902
Status: It works correctly!

Thanks, I think your post is missing the .apk so there it is: https://github.com/wuxianlin/OppoTools/raw/server/OppoTools.apk

There's been an update yesterday for the F version 'R7PlusfEX_11_150916' I'm unsure if it changes anything or adds any problems with rooting.

Do it at your own risk, I am not responsible for any damage to your phone, your computer nor your cat.
1. You must have right ADB drivers installed. Please follow this guide (Prerequisites part)
You must end up with this:
Code:
C:\sdk\platform-tools>adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32
Revision eac51f2bb6a8-android
Before I have installed SDK my R7+ was showing as Marshall London bootloader interface:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Correct drivers installed:
2. Maybe not needed but go to developers options and allow USB debugging
3. Power off your phone (wait, sometimes it take long time, it will vibrate when done)
4. Hold power button + volume UP to enter fastboot mode
5. Connect USB cable
6. Go to folder where your fastboot.exe is and press shift + right mouse and click on "Open command window from here"
7. Type
Code:
fastboot devices
- It should return your device serial number, if not you need to make sure your drivers are installed correctly.
8. Type
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
and see if your bootloader is locked (some phones comes with bootloader unlocked). You should see this:
Code:
C:\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.005s]
finished. total time: 0.006s
9. To unlock bootloader type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
You should see this:
Code:
C:\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
To check type again
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
You should see this:
Code:
C:\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.005s]
finished. total time: 0.006s
pic:
10. You are unlocked and your DATA are NOT wiped, congrats :highfive:
TWRP Recovery:
We are not going to flash twrp, because there is a risk of damage partition in the moment, so instead of flash, we only boot to it which is all we need!
1. Download this TWRP recovery (MIRROR) and put the file into the folder where your fastboot.exe is!
2. With phone in fastboot mode type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
You should see this:
Code:
C:\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.865s]
booting...
OKAY [ 3.639s]
finished. total time: 4.506s
3. Wait, it can take 30 seconds to boot into TWRP!
Backup:
With TWRP running first of all I recommend you to backup all partitions and after backup is complete, restart phone and COPY the backup files from phone to your computer!
Root:
1. When still connected to computer copy SuperSU file to phone`s memory
2. Disconnect usb cable, power phone off, enter fastboot mode and connect the usb cable.
3. BOOT into TWRP recovery again and flash the SuperSU and reboot.
4. Check if you are rooted:
Viper4Android:
1. First we need to change the SElinux to permissive
2. Download SELinuxModeChanger-v3.2-release.apk here and place it to phone`s memory.
3. Install the app (unknown sources must be allowed in settings)
4. Run the app, grand root rights, click on permissive and I recommend tick "show notification after mode changed"
5. Go to Security center, Privacy Permission, scroll down and click Auto-run Management and ALLOW SELinuxModeChanger to start automatically after restart.
6. Reboot phone and see if SELinuxModeChanger starts - you should see the notification. If everything is fine, you can disable the notification by untick it in app.
7. Download Viper4Android and copy to phone.
8. BOOT into TWRP recovery again and simply flash the downloaded zip and reboot.
9. Click on Viper4Android app to install its drivers, grand root rights and reboot phone.
10. Now run app and enable it for headphones and you are ready to enjoy great sound.
11. I recommend to disable "Dirac HD Sound" in Music app settings to not interfere with Viper4Android.
Does everything work as you want now? Go back to TWRP and make a new backup!!!
That`s it! Hopefully someone will find this guide helpful! Enjoy!!!

Does this work on a chinese phone?

I just updated my R7 Plus to R7PlusfEX_11_151225. Oppotools 1.6.5 can be installed but the root button doesn't do anything. Is this a known issue and will this be fixed in a new version of Oppotools?

Hi all FYI rooting method for R7plus using the OppoTools v1.6.5 is no longer supported on R7PlusfEX_11_151225.
So to root it just use the old method.
Just install/flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip via TWRP
That's all. Cheers!

Step 1 : Unlocking your bootloader #root needed
You need unlock bootloader first before installing twrp.
You will also need adb and fastboot tools. You can download them in a portable small form factor here :
On XDA Portal and select which OS running on your PC/Laptop.
Also you can use Terminal Emulator to unlock bootloader by passing step adb start-server and adb shell command.
Enable usb debugging on developer option, and extract adb and fastboot to a folder on your PC.
Type adb start-server and make sure to check the notification on your phone to accept debugging authorization.
Now type the following magical code will unlock your bootloader :
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -ne "\x01" | dd obs=1 count=1 seek=474048 of=/dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/aboot
Once it's done go to fastboot mode with reboot bootloader command. Use below command to check your bootloader status :
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
You will get the following output :
Code:
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.004s]
"Device unlocked: true" means bootloader is unlocked
Step 2 : Flashing TWRP
There are several ways to install this twrp with fastboot or terminal emulator that you can use.
Fastboot : just boot to fastboot mode and type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Terminal emulator : put recovery file on internal sdcard open terminal emulator and change to superuser access "su" then type
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery
Once it's done you can reboot to recovery with reboot recovery on terminal emulator.
You should be inside TWRP now. It will ask you if you want to enable system modifications. You should swipe yes, otherwise your OS will replace TWRP on next boot.
Flash the latest zip from here to turn off forced encryption at boot and allow you to boot a modified system. If you're flashing SuperSU.zip, it will also do this for you so this won't be necessary.
Warning: If you don't flash either no-verity-opt-encrypt or SuperSU, you will probably end up in a horrifying never-ending boot loop of "corruption"!
Latest SuperSU : here
To disable encryption after flashing SuperSU or the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip, you must use the [Format Data] button on the Wipe page in TWRP. No other options will work.
Back up all your internal storage and apps data that you can to your PC. You can use Titanium Backup with SuperSU before doing this step if you like.
Warning: Using [Format Data] will wipe all your apps and data (including internal storage) off the phone, giving you the out-of-the-box experience of a new phone!
Once this is done, you should be able to backup/restore/use any function of TWRP without any issues.
Flashed SuperSU? You're done! Boot up (it will reboot a few times) and set up your SuperSU Manager to your liking and give this post a thanks!
Step 3 : Have fun!

Step 1 : Relocking bootloader
You can use Terminal Emulator to relock bootloader by passing step adb shell command.
Just type the following command to relock the bootloader :
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/abootbak of=/dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/aboot
Once it's done go to fastboot mode with reboot bootloader command. Use below command to check your bootloader status :
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
You will get the following output :
Code:
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.004s]
"Device unlocked: false" means bootloader is locked again
Step 2 : That's all
:highfive:

[GUIDE] How to Convert your Nokia X5 to Global Nokia 5.1 Plus / Unbrick Guide

Unlike previously released Qualcomm based Nokia phones, Nokia X5 uses MediaTek Helio P60 processor.
However, unlike Nokia 3, it no longer uses authentication file, this will make unbrick easier.
After you read the full guide, you should understand how to unbrick your phone.
This guide should work on both 64-bit Linux distro and Windows operating system.
And this guide is simplified than previous guide to ensure your phone will get newer updates.
中文版教程请看这里：https://hikaricalyx.com/2018/10/25/how-to-convert-nokia-x5-to-global-and-unbrick/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What you need to have:
- MTK Smart Phone Flash Tool, which you can download from https://spflashtool.com/download/
- Android Platform Tools
- For Windows users, patched OST LA: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1n91aYT9Di6_v4F3Wjlv8TjfeLc64AcYA and MediaTek USB Port driver, which is easy to find
- Nokia X5 Chinese firmware and Global conversion firmware: https://fih-firmware.hikaricalyx.com/fihsw_en.html
Part 1: DO FULL BACKUP
Because few critical partitions are included in this backup, this will ensure you can restore them.
Download "PDA-114A-0-00WW-B01" and extract it.
Open Smart Phone Flash Tool, choose the Download Agent file and Scatter File in the unpacked PDA-1100 firmware.
DO NOT USE DOWNLOAD AGENT FROM THE FLASH TOOL ITSELF!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then pick "Readback" tab, add a category.
Double click this category, and choose the location you want to save the backup.
Use any text editor to open the scatter file, and find "userdata". You'll need the start address of userdata as the length of the full backup.
After it properly set, click "Read Back", then power off your phone and connect your phone to PC with both volume keys pressed and holded.
When you see a progress bar moving, you can release both keys and wait for the procedure complete.
Disconnect your phone when procedure completed.
Part 2: Flash PDA-1100 global firmware
Return to download tab, choose "Firmware Upgrade" in the download options, click "Download", then power off your phone and connect your phone to PC with both volume keys pressed and holded.
When you see a progress bar moving, you can release both keys and wait for the procedure complete.
If you just want to unbrick it as Chinese firmware, double click the Location of "lk_a", and choose "PDA-0-102A-00CN-lk.img" before you "Download", or you will unable to install later OTA updates.
Because it flashes service lk by default.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Part 3: Modify SKUID and flash lk
Trigger your phone to Fastboot mode.
You can type this command then connect your powered off phone:
Note: If you're using fastboot included in OST LA, use .\fastboot-android instead of .\fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Code:
.\fastboot reboot-bootloader
Type this command to confirm your phone's Serial Number, in this example the serial number is PDAGAM0123456789:
Code:
PDAGAM0123456789 fastboot
Google a website to calculate the md5 checksum of the serial number, for example, the md5 checksum of PDAGAM0123456789 is bb1bfc95418f51dc906462554d71313a.
Now type following command to grant service permission:
Code:
.\fastboot --set-active=a
.\fastboot reboot-bootloader
.\fastboot oem dm-verity (your_md5_checksum)
In this example:
Code:
.\fastboot --set-active=a

Nope, bootloader unlock is not required.
You can just convert your phone, that's it.

Thanks for your sharing! May I know if I want to convert back to Chinese firmware, only I need to do is finishing "Part 2: Reflash Chinese PDA-021G firmware“ correct?

the first, in step 1, the backup cannot complete and the message show "aborted".
The second, in step 2, I cannot extract the nb0 file. please extract and upload the zip file.
thanks very much!

I want too

Unlike previously released Qualcomm based Nokia phones, Nokia X5 uses MediaTek Helio P60 processor.
However, unlike Nokia 3, it no longer uses authentication file, this will make unbrick easier.
After you read the full guide, you should understand how to unbrick your phone.
This guide should work on both 64-bit Linux distro and Windows operating system.
What you need to have:
- MTK Smart Phone Flash Tool, which you can download from https://spflashtool.com/download/
- Android Platform Tools
- For Windows users, patched OST LA: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1n91aYT9Di6_v4F3Wjlv8TjfeLc64AcYA and MediaTek USB Port driver, which is easy to find
- Nokia X5 Chinese firmware and Global conversion firmware: https://hikaricalyx.box.com/s/z3s5alma4uhqftsbdo5pl072f0ec9t8z
Part 1: DO FULL BACKUP
Because few critical partitions are included in this backup, this will ensure you can restore them.
Download PDA-021G firmware and unpack it by using nb0 utils with this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/workaround-flashing-oreo-firmware-t3793791
Open Smart Phone Flash Tool, choose the Download Agent file and Scatter File in the unpacked PDA-021G firmware.
DO NOT USE DOWNLOAD AGENT FROM THE FLASH TOOL ITSELF!
Then pick "Readback" tab, add a category.
Double click this category, and choose the location you want to save the backup.
Use any text editor to open the scatter file, and find "userdata". You'll need the start address of userdata as the length of the full backup.
After it properly set, click "Read Back", then power off your phone and connect your phone to PC with both volume keys pressed and holded.
When you see a progress bar moving, you can release both keys and wait for the procedure complete.
Disconnect your phone when procedure completed.
Part 2: Reflash Chinese PDA-021G firmware
Return to download tab, choose "Firmware Upgrade" in the download options, click "Download", then power off your phone and connect your phone to PC with both volume keys pressed and holded.
When you see a progress bar moving, you can release both keys and wait for the procedure complete.
Part 3: Modify SKUID
Trigger your phone to Fastboot mode.
You can type this command then connect your powered off phone:
Code:
.\fastboot reboot-bootloader
Type this command to confirm your phone's Serial Number, in this example the serial number is PDAGAM0123456789:
Code:
PDAGAM0123456789 fastboot
Google a website to calculate the md5 checksum of the serial number, for example, the md5 checksum of PDAGAM0123456789 is bb1bfc95418f51dc906462554d71313a.
Now type following command to grant service permission:
Code:
.\fastboot oem dm-verity (your_md5_checksum)
In this example:
Code:
.\fastboot oem dm-verity bb1bfc95418f51dc906462554d71313a
Type following commands to confirm and modify SKUID. Following commands are case sensitive:
Code:
.\fastboot oem CustomerSKUID get
.\fastboot oem CustomerSKUID set 600WW
.\fastboot oem CustomerSKUID get
Type following command and disconnect your phone to power off your phone:
Code:
.\fastboot oem HALT
Part 4: Flash Global PDA-101D firmware I provided
Download PDA-101D firmware and extract it.
Open Smart Phone Flash Tool, choose Download Agent and Scatter file in PDA-101D firmware, choose "Firmware Upgrade" in the download options, click "Download", then power off your phone and connect your phone to PC with both volume keys pressed and holded.
When you see a progress bar moving, you can release both keys and wait for the procedure complete.
That's it.

Download an unpack the PDA-102A-0-00CN-B07 firmware with nb0 tools developed by @heineken78
When you change the SKUID, change it to 600CN instead of 600WW, and the lk filename is different from global PDA-1100 as you will find out.

Yes you can, but you need to unpack PDA-102A-0-00CN-B07.nb0 and follow the guide, but change the SKUID to 600CN instead of 600WW.

[GUIDE] How to fix "Find Device storage corrupted. Your device is unsafe now".
How to fix "Find Device storage corrupted. Your device is unsafe now" ?
(At your own risk... I'm not responsible for damage or brick)​
Required :
- Be rooted and have TWRP installed !
- Miui Fastboot ROM : xiaomifirmwareupdater.
Tutorial :
- Download the Miui Fastboot ROM corresponding to your current Miui version.
- Extract files from the archive downloaded, open "images" folder and copy "persist.img" file in your smartphone Internal Storage (past the file directly in Internal Storage, not in folder !).
- Reboot in Recovery Mode.
- In your TWRP, open the Terminal (in "Advanced").
- Enter this two commands :
Code:
simg2img /sdcard/persist.img /sdcard/persist_EXT4.img
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/persist_EXT4.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist
- Reboot your smartphone.
More information :
I got this problem when I restored my Miui backup after try a Custom Android 10 ROM. At each smartphone boot, I got the message "Find Device storage corrupted. Your device is unsafe now", fingerprint unlock was set on "Off", and registered fingerprint(s) was deleted. When I added a new fingerprint, it was registered (until the next boot), but didn't work.
If you do a little research, you can find a other method on some websites where you use fastboot to flash persist.img. I tried and sadly it not work ("FAILED (remote: Error: This image isn't allow download)"):

I had the same error and found 2 ways to solve it:
1st:
I had flashed the MIUI 11 Rom from August 27 2019. I simply replaced it by the latest stable EU Rom and the error disappeared . Next I flashed the Rom from August 27th back.
2nd:
Find device storage corrupted your device is unsafe now
1. You need Unlocked Bootloader and TWRP. You can boot in TWRP instead of flashing it.
2. Download the fastboot ROM for the device. Extract it and copy persist.img file to the internal memory of the phone. Make sure put the file in internal storage rather than in any folder.
3. Put the phone in fastboot Mode, Power Button and Volume Down key.
4. Boot in TWRP by "fastboot boot twrp.img" command.
5. In the TWRP Main Menu. Go to Advanced ------ Terminal
6. Write the below 2 lines:
simg2img /sdcard/persist.img /sdcard/persist_EXT4.img
dd if=/sdcard/persist_EXT4.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist
7. Reboot the Phone and check.

Yes
So the solution is to log in to the device on Mi account with the mi account used to unlock the device. So basically you can unlock again the device but with the same Mi account used on the first attempt. If normal log in to Mi account is not possible, try to log in using google (press google icon on the bottom-you must have Google account in the phone, and it must be linked with mi account. After that i just launched miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24 and it worked instantly.
I didn't add mi account to mi unlock status even and still was working.
So the key is mi account used for device unlock for the first time- ( DIDN`T WORKED WITH OTHER MI ACCOUNTS)

buy the way this is the solution for UNLOCKING DEVICE, after that is easy, just install Minimal ADB and Fastboot and download recovery for your phone, put recovery in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder and open Minimal ADB and Fastboot and run command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that fastboot boot recovery.img
and you are in TWRP - from there is easy to ,,fix find device storage is corrupt" if you have that error...

Alternatively, you can flash it with twrp. Copy persist image to internal storage, boot to twrp, select "Flash Image" by pressing the big button located at lower right, select the image file and upon selection the twrp shows another window to choose what are you flashing. Choose "Persist" and slide to flash, it takes just one or two seconds and after that just reboot. I had this problem earlier and fixed by completing these steps.

[Solved]TWRP on Blackview BV 4900 Pro

(Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I could not find a forum for the blackview bv 4900 pro)
I am trying to install TWRP (unofficial build at https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-5-2-blackview-bv4900-pro/ ) on my Blackview BV 4900 Pro, seems to be able to transfer it to my phone, but cannot start it. The files vbmeta.img and recovery.img come from the previous link, respectively https://unofficialtwrp.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/vbmeta.zip and https://www.mediafire.com/file/hq4sq1xlnkafduv/352_BV4900_pro_lopestom.rar/file .
Firmware: BV4900Pro_US_ZN128e_V1.0_20211119V08_20211119-2023

- See the "Select boot mode" page (that gives me the options to select Recovery mode / Fastboot mode / Normal boot),
- Select "Recovery mode",
- See Blackview's logo + the message "Orange state", then the phone becomes irresponsive. It is still turned on, but nothing on display. I can run
Code:
adb reboot recovery
and it will reboot, but again in orange state, then it reboots to the "normal" system.
What am I missing? Is this version of twrp unsuitable for my phone?
Apparently there used to be a twrp at https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=789936&st=2060#entry110507536 but it is not available anymore :-(

Apparently there was another twrp developed for this phone, shared at https://4pda-to.translate.goog/foru...=fr&_x_tr_hl=fr&_x_tr_pto=wapp#entry111020420 but the link is in error too :-(

I was able to flash a different firmware on the phone ( BV4900Pro_S1_210909 ), but the result is still the same.
Once rebooted (in recovery), the screen is still black (after a green line briefly flash at the top of the screen). The phone is still on :I can do
Code:
