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

Guys i want to root my device - Honor 6X BLN-L21. how can i do this?
after rooting my device ill be able to update my software ? i have the latest android 7 official update from huawei installed. i havent unlock the bootloader or anything like that.
thank you and soory for my english.
Follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/root-huawei-honor-6x-install-twrp-t3671822
And for obtain your bootloader unlock code, note that the listed procedure is impossible to follow at the moment, because the necessary pages to ask for the code are unavailable on Huawei sites. But you should be able to have a work around thanks to the module available here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...cial-request-bootloader-unlock-codes-t3785100
I am resurrecting this thread as I have the **same** issue a year after.
I have recently aquired a BLN-L21 Honor 6x europe, with EMUI 5.0.3
This is the exact ROM version: BLN-L21C432B382
It has been rooted using dc-unlocker, but now I have some problems with rooting (that was my entire objective since start)
Compatible TWRP are scarce, I can only make it work with OpenKirin TWRP 3.1.1.0, linked in the guide above, or EliteTWRP-3.2.1.0, but this one cannot read any internal partitions, so I guess it's not very useful.
As soon as I flash Magisk-19.3.zip the device boots and asks me for a decryption password, that I clearly don't have.
So Flashing Magisk this way makes the terminal useless.
Can anyone suggest me a couple of TWRP + ROM that supports root quite well on this device?
EDIT: ouch, I defeated myself. I just tried to use SuperSU-v.2.82-201705271822 and it works like a charm on stock rom.
I wonder why Magisk makes a mess of the partition
Hello guys,
I made a big mistake - I bought the Mediapad T5 in the 16GB 2 GB Ram version because I thought this is enough - however, it turns out that their EMUI occupies already 1.6 GB of RAM and therefore, even the keyboard crashes, lots of jerks when playing a video in HD, apps crash it is really a mess;
So the only idea I had (although I am not too familiar with custom ROMS) to replace EMUI by some system which does not occupy too much RAM; So I first was frustrated that the bootloader is naturally locked but I found a solution by downgrading the system and then unlock the bootlader with DC unlocker for around 4$;
Now I think I need to do the following steps:
1. Install TWRP
2. Flash a new OS
3. use TWRP to install a patch called the "low-ram property patcher", see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...mod-low-ram-property-patcher-android-t3737373
Now in theory it seems easy; TWRP is naturally compatible to my device, right? So I can probably find many explanations how to get it; But then I need to find a new OS compatible for my device which is a problem; I want an OS compatible to my device with not too high RAM consumption; I thought of Lineage 15.1 but only the Mediapad M5, not the Mediapad T5 is supported; So anyone an idea what OS I can choose?
Many thanks
Seems that you need to unlock bootloader with a bought code 25 to 40 $ and I havn´t found any customroms until now...

Hi everyone.
I have a Huawei mediapad T5 AGS2-L09. It has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal memory.
I updated the software and a new option in the developers optons emerged:
"OEM Unlocking" - Allow the bootloader to be unlocked
When I turn it on a dialog box pops up with a warning:
"WARNING: Device protection features will not work on this device if this setting is enabled."
You have the option to CANCEL or ENABLE.
This is it, right?
Does anyone know how to root it from here and hopefully has a custom ROM?
The build number: AGS2-L09 8.0.0.222(OCEC432)
Android security patch: September 5, 2019
This option may or may not help. On Xiaomi devices the bootloader can only be unlocked by Xiaomi. The option you see in do is not made by Lenovo I think, it is an Android option. Please check it and try to install TWRP. Afaik Huawei does not allow unlocking...
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO USE ONLY TWRP THAT IS PROOVEN TO WORK WITH YOUR DEVICE!!!!

Hello,
I just bought this tab ( 3gb version), but i don't understand why there is no custom rom on this Tab. No LineageOS for exemple ?
So sad
Why ??

Because it's Huawei, they don't want your device unlocked and replaced with unsanctioned software so you can remove the Chinese government spyware
I have looked on Google / Reddit / XDA Forum for more information on my issue with my OnePlus 7 Pro device.
I'm not a techie person - so I'm almost positive it is something I did, but I have:
GM1913 version of the phone
I unlocked the phone - and then downloaded both TWRP and LineageOS from their respective download sites.
After installing LineageOS and rebooting from TWRP, the phone is now stuck in the initial LineageOS boot up screen - it only shows the initial load screen and I can't seem to get the phone to get into the bootloader again.
Can someone please walk me through how I can install the Stock ROM for my version? (I see various guides, but I can't find the international version listed). Is the MDM Tool the only way to recover my OnePlus?
Thank you very much in advance!!!
I used a rooted Moto G7 on T-Mobil for quite a while. But it is now giving me some issues and I'm considering buying a 2021

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08NWD7K8H/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
I have a few questions.
1. Anyone using T-Mobil with this phone? Any problems? Special simcard for 5G or will my G7 simcard work?
2. Bugs or problems with the Motorola one 5G 128GB?
3. Does it come with android 10 or 11?
4. How easy to root?
Thank you.

1. Not on t-mobile.
2.I didn't find any bugs. I bought the retail us version.
3.It comes with 10. I am running 11 from Canada.
4. Root is easy, but not complete. You also need to get r/w access which is complicated but easy. Also any debloating requires the use of pm from an ADB shell or as a terminal command. There are good guides here on how to do all of this.
Custom ROMs are available, more on the Telegram channel.
Thank you Retief.
I went ahead and bought one and am setting it up.
One problem I'm facing is the touch screen is too sensitive. If I tap too forcefully near the top of a screen everything gets minimized (I forget the correct name for it). It's most annoying. Any ideas? Sensitivity controls?
Also, any way to get rid of the notch?
Thanks.
Mine is a usa T-mobile motorola moto one 5g ace, android 10, software variant t, model number xt2113-2, purchased April 20, 2022 from a T-mobile store. My old sim card would not fit. It's loaded with bloatware. I am also trying to root but its going to take some time to gather up all the correct programs and files so it doesn't brick. There's a Noob guide on this forum that offers great advice on how to root. I'll read it 5 more times before I do anything. If you do manage to root your phone please let us know how you did it.
I am rooted, r/w access obtained and debloated. I used the three guides on here.

That's terrific RETIEF.
Which 3 guides in here?
Did you hit any problems and if so how did you solve them?
Thanks.
The guides are in the guides section. The ones by Artcul8madness worked. Now that there is a working twrp, other methods are possible. You must unlock the bootloader first! I had no problems following the guides.
Thanks. Still a risky thing with bootloops, etc. I think I'll wait for the ota updates to Android 11 or 12.
I picked up one of these earlier this week (variant XT2113-2, 128GB just like yours) and am using it on T-Mobile in the US. It's working really well, no issues so far, and the 5G feels incredibly fast (it's my first 5G device - if speedtest.net is reliable, I'm consistently seeing >125Mbps download speeds in Los Angeles).
I specifically bought this phone to use with LineageOS, and the bootloader unlocking procedure and rooting went very smoothly. No issues at all so far with the device, LineageOS, or the unlocking/rooting.
Just as an aside, I opted for a used model off of Ebay, and they're going for between $150-$200 with the 128GB of storage ROM if you'd like to save some money.
Thank you for getting back to me. I too am well pleased with the phone and its performance.
I have been afraid to root it yet because of problems I read about.
1. How —exactly— did you root it?
2. Ive used lineageos on a previous phone. How well is it working for you on this phone?

Apologies for the delayed response, I thought I was set to receive email notifications for replies! I actually rooted it while flashing LineageOS - I first unlocked the bootloader by following the instructions on the LOS install page (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kiev/install), then flashed Lineage Recovery via fastboot. From there, I rebooted into Lineage recovery (NOT the OS/system, it'll overwrite the new recovery), flashed the LineageOS ROM, then followed that with GApps and Magisk.
See the link I posted, you'll root it at step 6 under "Installing LineageOS from recovery". Download Magisk from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk, rename the .img file it gives you to a .zip, and you'll be able to flash it at Step 6 above via sideloading or over a microsd, same with google apps.
Lineage is working well so far! The only quirk is that the lockscreen likes to randomly wake up, but I'm not sure if that's just my secondhand phone's fault. Wifi calling and VoLTE all work on TMobile.
Let me know if I can be of any more help!
Thank you for getting back to me. You are very kind and helpful.
When I get enough courage I'll follow in your steps.
