Hi people!
I very much like my new Oppo R5s (from the european store) and to make it even better, I want to root it.
I have read a few posts in this forum and people seem to be able to root it with TWRP (twrp-2.8.7.0-r7f.img), SuperSU (Beta v2.49) and ColorOS root method (Root_ColorOS_by_tantrums_v2.zip).
Here is what I have done:
Boot into fastboot mode with Volume Up + Power On [works!]
Connect via USB and do "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-r7f.img" [works!]
Reboot into TWRP with Volume Down + Power On and enable write mode [works!]
IMPORTANT: In TWRP Mount menu mount "System" and unmount "Data" and "Cache" [works!]
Install "Root_ColorOS_by_tantrums_v2.zip" which I copied to sdcard earlier [works!]
Install "BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip" which I copied to sdcard earlier [works!]
Wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot [works!]
Launch SuperSU after reboot and check that it works [works!]
Thanks to Lum_UK who helped getting me on the right track!
Flash this instead of the official SuperSU installer
http://lum.uk/n3/files/Root_ColorOS_by_tantrums_v2.zip
Thanks Lum, but installing your zip with TWRP and rebooting made no difference whatsoever...
What else can I try?
Try this one: http://lum.uk/n3/files/ForceRoot.apk
I haven't tried it with TWRP though, only stock recovery.
Install it like any other sideloaded app, run it, click the root button, it should reboot into recovery and root.

Thanks Lum for trying to help me . But I'm not sure if I can trust ForceRoot. Once I start it, it wants to install another App which requires every permission on the planet... That makes me nervous... Are there any other alternatives?
Did you mean you flashed Root_ColorOS_by_tantrums_v2.zip with the stock recovery instead of TWRP? I think its not possible?
The tantrums one is supposed to work for every version of coloros, though I have not personally tested it on the R5, only on the N3.
ForceRoot is what I used on my partner's unmodified R5S. I'm not aware of any other alternatives.
Yes! I managed to root my R5s now. I just did not know that I have to mount System in TWRP and unmount Data and Cache.
Then the Root_ColorOS_by_tantrums_v2.zip install works!
Hi guys,
I just got my Oppo R5s, and I was wondering if I can fit a custom ROM, something based on a stock, or very smooth version of Android 5.x
If this exist, what should I do? (I need to root first) I am a noob regarding Android.
No custom roms yet unfortunately. Best bet is to try to de-crapify the phone OS a bit, root it, uninstall bloatware, install a stock-like launcher e.g. Nova Launcher. If you're feeling brave maybe mess around with Xposed and GravityBox
The Oppo camera app is way better than stock Android anyway.
Thank you for sharing!
I have read here http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/expanding-the-cm-device-family that team is planning to support r5plus... may they mean r5s instead?
I can't even get into Fastboot.
When I hold power and volume up, I just get a quick vibration and no screen activity (doesn't turn on - nothing).

Yes that is how it works . Fastboot mode shows a black screen and is only reacting to input from a USB data cable.
You are supposed to connect a USB cable and use the fastboot.exe from Android SDK to flash twrp.
I tried this but it failed "remote size too large".

I had that same problem, i also had a problem where the screen went black when trying to boot into TWRP (crash). I can't remember exactly how i solved it but i know i was messing about and sudenly TWRP was booting. Unfortunatly, i'm running an alpha build now so i can't help you trace back the issue...
Some of the following things may help you:
- Have a look in "developer setting" and see if there is a lock on recovery.
- Download the R5-TWRP and try to flash that.
- After flashing R5, try the R7 again.
- Boot the system and use ADB to reboot in recovery.
- Use Kingroot to root the device and then use flashify to write TWRP.
Don't give up, your problem is solvable
I successfully updated recovery to TWRP some months ago. What about updating to Project Spectrum? Is it possible with TWRP? Or do I need to replace the recovery to the one suggested by OPPO for updating to Project Spectrum?
Thanks in advance for any information.

What alpha build do you use now ? on a R5s ?
I would like to install TWRP on a R5s and I have the same problem so if you have an idea....
I know it's not much help for people wanting TWRP. But CyanogenMod 13 recovery is working on the R5S. Don't use the CM14 recovery though!

yes but you can't install lineageos with it so now it is not very usefull as cyanogenmod is over
I was able to install CM13 with it, and apparently it also works for CM14.
Are there actual builds for LineageOS for R5 yet? I've not found any.

My Moto E Hangs when I try to boot a TWRP image
Attempted procedure:
(After booting into stock fastboot)
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-2.7.1.0-condor.img
A reboot to that TWRP was expected instead. But it freezes on bootloader.
TWRP used on the attempt:
dl.twrp.me/condor/twrp-2.7.1.0-condor.img.html
I don't want to flash a different recovery or anything else, just a clean root.

Sometimes booting recovery doesn't work...You will have to flash it. Perhaps you can flash the stock recovery after successful root? though i am not sure that will work
Also try booting into CWM
Tried the same method with CWM.img
Same result: fastboot frozen (volume buttons not responsive, and PC no longer sends commands)
To flash the stock recovery I would need to back it up first
But guess what's needed to backup ?
Yes, a temporary flashed bootloader with ZIP support
Would you know someone, who knows someone, who knows an master from MTI or Hogwarts or Narnia that knows an alternative ?
I would flash a mod right away if I could backup the original first...
(Unless, as I don't know exactly how this works, the ROM might come with the bootloader (?) Because the stock ROM I can download easily anywhere (already did))

Hi,
Did you managed it to work? I have exactly the same problem. If I even flash twrp or cwm I still can't boot into it, there is only "no command" message.
I can't get any help anywhere, it makes me crazy. Do you have any custom recovery that worked for you after flashing?? I'm even starting to think that my device is broken somehow.

I did NOT flash the recovery yet
I'm trying to run the recovery without flashing it, to avoid problems like yours
You said you flashed both CWM and TWRP ?
And Neither one of them worked ?
I'm screwed too, then...
:crying:
See if you can find the stock recovery somewhere
And NOT here
This forum is not good for it
It's too much phone specific... too narrow... and we get no attention; specially with our "not-mainstream" phone
Generic instruction could work
If you take any action, or find any forum you find helpful, let me know
@giaur @LucasBS1
I too have tried booting the recovery ,but it doesn't work. You will have to flash it
if you are seeing 'no command' message it means that you still have stock recovery and the custom recovery wasn't flashed successfully.

None of them worked. I'm going to resign, because there is nothing I can do. Seems you have exactly the same problem as me. What I tried:
- fastboot boot recovery.img. Phone hangs on bootlogo
- flash recovery, then use go to recovery option in fastboot menu. In this case, 2 possibilities: with usb cable connected, it boots normally to system, not to recovery. With usb cable disconnected, screen goes black and phone looks like powered off. You will need to power it on and it will boot to system.
- On running system with usb debugging enabled. If you type "adb reboot recovery", you will end with dead robot and "no command" error. You can however press VolUP +Power on this screen and you will see Android 3e recovery.
If you have the same problem as me, you are completly lost and it's impossible to intall recovery on your device. I'm close to resign and say "**** this ****ty phone" because (as you already mentioned), there is no any attention on my questions, twrp support was dropped long time ago etc.
Flashing recovery should not wipe your data, so once you try to flash twrp or cwm, please let me know about your results. I'm sure I will never able to solve this problem, but I will feel better knowing that I'm not alone whit it

Ok, I'm finished. It's not possible. F U C K Motorola and good night. My advice: don't waste your time if you have the same problem. You will get nothing, except wasted time. It's good that it's not my phone (I own OnePlus One). But I was asked to install CM12.1 on my friend's phone. It's impossible, so I will need to tell him I was failed with that.

I see people complaining about bugs or not-working features on the first link
Are you sure it's safe ?
It's not the official TWRP (apparently)
When I google for this bootloader the official page shows version 2.7.1.0
Whereas on your second link they are on the 2.8.2.0
Which one should I trust ?
And to anyone who might answer:
Trough PC is the only/safest way to flash these recoveries ?
Seeing giaur on that situation puts me stepping back...

I tested both: latest official 2.7 and linked 2.8. So they are safe. Official support for Moto E was dropped long time ago.

Cool
Regarding to safety
Should I flash CWM or TWRP ? Why ?
Regarding the method
Flash through usb->Fastboot or through Apk (like CWM)
Or a third method ?
And why
Between TWRP 2.7 and 2.8, which one is safer ?
And of course...why ?
And a last question, before I leave you guys alone:
Did you manage to root the phone, despite the poblems occurring to you, giaur ?
Once you succesfuly flash twrp, you need to flash supersu then and you are rooted. If you don't have your current system rooted, the only way to flash custom recovery is to flash via fastboot. TWRP is recommended, because it's way better
I can't say anything more, because my moto e is not flashable, so I can't replace stock recovery.
Yo !
Flashed TWRP
But wiped things I shouldnt
How to put the ROM back via USB ?
EDIT:
NEVERMIND
Found how to use SD to do that

I was also struggling a lot many days into getting twrp and cw loaded on to a Moto E. The problem was that I was pressing the Power button to activate the recovery menu and that will not activate the recovery option. You got to press the UP button instead of power after executing
Code:
fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp-2.8.1.0-condor.img
. This is quite counter intuitive but described well in most posts, but as experts we assume up button is to go up the menu.

Hi guys, need a bit of help. I followed the following guide and seems like a new recovery has been installed on my note 2 but no root or twrp. Any ideas ?
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-root-and-unroot-redmi-note-2/
Phone is fine but i do need to root and have twrp installed on it. Alternatively, do you have a link where I can achieve this easily as I want to put a a new rom on my phone. Sorry for the amateurish questions, its been a while since i have installed custom roms
Many thanks
This guide is old.
When I received my RN2 I installed TWRP from the Updated app, but now this is not possible anymore.
You have to flash TWRP image via fastboot.
Look at Fastboot Install Method here: https://twrp.me/devices/xiaomiredminote2.html
The image could be downloaded from: https://dl.twrp.me/hermes/twrp-3.0.2-0-hermes.img
Remember to keep vol+ pressed when you'll restart using fastboot reboot until it enter TWRP to prevent original recovery from restoring.
Once you are done, you'll be able to flash SuperSU.
Ok, ill try that. Thing is that I have lost fastboot, when i do power + volume up, i get to the TWRP 2.8.7 screen. Is this a problem ?

power + volume up is to enter recovery
To enter fastboot use power + volume down.
EDIT:
if with power + volume up you are entering TWRP, there is not need to do other than install supersu (unless you want to update TWRP).
Many thanks. Got this sorted. Running cm at the mo, cool. What is the best rom in ur opinion by the way? Any oxygen based roms?
I don't know the current status of CM on RN2, but generally speaking, IMHO ported ROM are not better then official ROM because there is always something not working.
Unfortunately there are no sources for RN2.

After searching for hours I found on a site in Taiwan the way to root the ZenFone 3 Ultra on latest update of Android 7.0 (WW_14.1010.1703.42)

1. Unlock Bootloader with the original program from Asus website.
2. Flash TWRP 3.1.1 recovery with fastboot.
3. Reboot in to Recovery and installed SuperSU-v2.80-201705171619.zip
4. Wipe cache and reboot.
5. Once booted DO NOT UPDATE SuperSU from Play Store, it will break the root.

Once you unlock the bootloader the OTAs are blocked, even if you aren't rooted. It is okay you can still manually install the firmware easily.

I do not know why, but I had to reinstall the rom on my phone, used the same files for root and it worked with no problem.
I have updated to UL-ASUS_A001-WW-14.1010.1704.46 using the file from ASUS support page and used the same method to root, and it worked without a problem.

seems like all went well for me . . . unlocked / twrp / superuser / even the upgraded kernel & software upgrade ........ but the system hangs on the start screen ... but upon restart - the zenphon still goes into bootloader & twrp if i want to.
I don't suppose anyone made a twrp backup of a fresh / no added programs? Even one w/ bloat removed?
anybody able to show a bit of love?
thx in advance
Bummer . . . . no one's made a twrp backup yet? That's one of the 1st things i do - just in case.
.
Is it possible to update to new version of SuperSU then 2.80 ?
I try to update SuperSU with TWRP to version 2.82-201705271822.zip but installation failed....
Updated for more serious reference. Hope this info helps you!
Procedure:
Once you have updated to Nougat, you would have to unlock your bootloader
The APK that unlock the bootloader works (Even though is marked as M version). (Remember that this will wipe your device!) For ULBL -> Version UnlockTool_2017_0803(android M) (FROM ASUS) https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Zoom-ZE553KL/HelpDesk_Download/
Zenfone will reboot and you will able to see a new splash screen that informs you that your device is unlocked giving you boot options Don't press anything. (You will see this everytime you reboot). The next screen will show an erase process. Phone will reboot.
Once booted enable developer options and adb via usb.
You can find TWRP builds right here: https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w (Special thanks to: @shakalaca) Use the latest one.
Go to fastboot mode and install TWRP. (fastboot flash recovery (nameoffile).img)
Let fastboot do it's magic, once you finish press volume buttons till you find reboot recovery press power button to select. It will boot again to the first splash. Do not press anything, let it work. It will boot TWRP in a whistle.
Once in TWRP make a backup. You know it's necessary, and will save your ass in case of a softbrick.
Flash latest magisk (Current Ver: 13.3) Magisk thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Reboot, check drawer for magisk manager, magisk and root should be enabled.
Voila. Safetynet test passed :good:
what version was twrp are you using and what steps did you take to get magisk to work.

So today finally I got my Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom. I couldn't contain myself to start playing with it.
My very first surprise was that the phone requested for an update. I've done it. I ended with a stock 7.1.1 AZ3Z.
This is my experience:
The APK that let you unlock bootloader works. (Remember that this will wipe your device)
After auto reboot I cheched safetynet. At this point test failed (Little bit obvious)
I was able to go to fastboot mode and install TWRP (The same you can find right here at the forum)
Let fastboot do it's magic, press volume buttons till you find reboot recovery. It will boot TWRP in a whistle.
Once in TWRP I made a backup. You know if necessary.
The next step was a crossfinger procedure. Just flashed latest magisk Beta (13)
Reboted checked for magisk manager on drawer.
It was there and root also. Enabled magiskhide, and voila. Safetynet test passed :good:
Hope this Info help you.

It's twrp 3.1.0
It should work as it passes CTS profile and Basic Integrity I can't test it myself because I live in Mexico and Android Pay is not avialable here yet.

Just a question as I'm having difficulty booting into TWRP.
My device is unlocked and when flashing TWRP using the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and trying to boot into it nothing happens other than my device going into the bootloader. I have tried flashing both the most recent TWRP 3.1.1 and 3.1.0 yet I keep on coming to the same problem. Can anyone provide help? thanks in advance.

Everytime you reboot the pone starts into boot loader. It has a countdown to boot into whatever is commanded.
Once you flashed succesfully the recovery img you just have to select option to boot recovery with vol keys and power.
Phone will reboot into bootloader agin let it boot on contdown (don't press any key)
Then it will boot into twrp.
Hello, on nougat i am trying to install the twrp, I downloaded the official bootloader release program (after installing the message "unlocked device") but trying to install the twrp via fastboot me by an error message. ... but I think the problem is the unlocking of the bootloader (if I turn the ze553kl in fastboot mode I see my device is "locked") ... there is another version of the bootloader release software? The one available on asus site would look for android M ... maybe there is one for Nougat? Thanxs
Wop. I used the M version apk on Nougat. It worked with no issues, the unlock of boot loader is successful when all the content of your smartphone is wiped.
For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg77b8o8Jk4 Min 1:29
Thank you! But running the software, does not run any wipe, it only displays an "unlocked" message without having to restart anything else. I also tried to make a "factory reset" and repeat lab process but the result does not change ...

If you follow that link and flash the recommended version, TWRP might load upside down and mirrored, impossible to use. I flashed the latest version from the MEGA link (3.1.1) and it was back to normal. Just a head's up for future reference, you might want to update your post.

Updated, never had mirror issues but is always better to have latest recovery.
Edit. Jimbo, I got an anwer from the source it notes: "please use 'fastboot flash recovery' instead of 'fastboot boot' to avoid up side down screen"
I've also tried installing from scratch with Asus flash tool, but I still can not unlock bootloader ... Anyone know if there is also an unofficial method for unlocking the bootloader?
@bizzino what model of Z3Z are you using?
Maybe Unlock bootloader app is intended for specific models... Let me do a little bit of research
Double posted... (Don't know for what reason this is happenning)

Locked
Works just fine, thank you
But how would I go about setting the phone back to stock if needed in the future? (Removing Magisk, and replacing TWRP with the original recovery software).
@bizzino No news for you i wasn't able to find more info I'm sorry. Maybe change it for warranty? @subsector you should flash original recovery via fastboot and then sideload the stock rom
Hi! I was trying to root Nokia 1
I flash TWRP through fastboot and it worked! But the problem was I was unable to see my files there.I think because of encryption..
So, I accidentally factory reset my phone through TWRP and then, I was unable to boot into system again..
I was stuck in TWRP
So, I go to fastboot and flash stock_recovery.IMG and after that when I reboot. I am seeing a black screen. I can feel vibration when press home key or home + volume up/down. but screen is black
Please help...

Use micro SD card for twrp. You can't remove encryption just by factory reset. I know how to remove encryption on Nougat but that method doesn't work on Oreo. When you flashed TWRP flash SuperSU (not Magisk) then boot to system, after that boot to twrp recovery again and wipe factory reset and wipe internal storage. You have removed encryption. SuperSU needs to be updated to patch plat and non play file contexts to remove encryption on Oreo. Or someone can make flashable zip to remove encryption.
First find nb0 file for Nokia 1 and try to flash rom with OST.

currently it's not available, you need to wait someone to upload it.
Nokia1 uses MTK CPU right? If you can get the ota zip of the current update on your phone, you can extract the boot.img file then boot into download mode and type fast boot flash boot <boot.img file>

Same here. Seems that the decryption does not work. Better make sure your phone is not encrypted before messing with twrp (3.2.3).
Be careful
Some Nokia 1 are a TA 1060 variant number and if you flash the wrong file you are going to have further problems.
The process to root and get TWRP on the nokias Is complicated enough without everyone suggesting wrong model variants / numbers.
I guarantee someone will download the wrong file for the wrong model and come here crying.
is this the real firmware?
