Hai there!
I have CWM version 3.2.0.0 in my Wildfire and I want to update to 5.0.2.7. I know we can open up 5.0.2.0 without flashing something in Rom Manager but I want my real CWM 5.0.2.7. So how we are doing it. Should I just do what I did when flasing 3.2.0.0?
Thanks.

How to Install a new Clockworkmod Recovery Image?
There are 4 basic ways:
1) Via Terminal Emulator (Needs S-OFF) - Guide Here. If you get an error "flash_image: Not Found", follow Steps 1-5 from Here, then, back to the original (first) link. Pushing of flash_image is a 1 time process. You need not repeat it everytime.
2) Via Fastboot (Needs AlphaRev / Revolutionary S-OFF) - Guide Here. Refer the part called "To install Clockworkmod after Revolutionary"
3) Via PC49IMG.zip Process (Needs S-OFF) - Download anyone of the PC49IMG ZIP file of the recovery you wish to install, place on your SDcard, and reboot into HBoot Mode. It will detect the file, and ask to install. Simply select Yes. If you wish to install another version which isn't present below, simply get the IMG file of the recovery version you wish to install,and replace in an existing ZIP. (Without Unzipping)
4) Via Unrevoked (No Pre-Requisites. Works on S-ON / S-OFF devices) - Guide Here

Even simpler root than Invisiblek's method for the older versions: If you have already tried that method and now have broken wireless, see Post #2.
Note: A more detailed and user-friendly version of these instructions can be found at: http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/n5206-international-root-instructions.24159
Download http://lum.uk/n3/files/recmodn3.img and http://lum.uk/n3/files/Root_ColorOS_by_tantrums_v2.zip
Copy the rooter onto your SD card.
Boot into fastboot by holding volume up while powering on the phone.
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery recmodn3.img
fastboot boot recmodn3.img
Flash the root coloros zip file, reboot and you're rooted.
Note: This is a modified stock recovery that can flash OTAs as well as zips not signed by Oppo. If you prefer TWRP then that is available here: https://dl.twrp.me/n3/. Note that at the time of writing TWRP is unable to flash OTAs.
Thanks to [email protected] for the original root method, Arvin A. [email protected] for the fixing SuperSU to work on ColorOS, and [email protected] for providing the modified N3 recovery.
Restoring stock firmware
Download your chosen firmware and recovery from this thread
Copy the firmware to the root of the internal storage
Take a nandroid backup using TWRP
Reboot to bootloader from within TWRP
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_N3.img
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
Use the stock recovery to flash your chosen firmware
If you are downgrading then wipe data and cache (you did remember to take a nandroid, right?)
Reboot
You are now on stock fimware. Follow the rooting instructions in post #1, and if you wiped you may optionally restore only the data partition from your nandroid backup.
Will memory be erased?
Hi,
So i'm looking forward to root my beautiful Oppo N3.
On my last Phones memory (data and so on) was erased alongside with unlocking the phone.
Will it be the same on this phone so that I have to backup all my data?
Your data will not be erased when rooting or unlocking. Also your warranty will not be invalidated like it is with other manufacturers.
It is, however, always wise to take a backup before anything like this, just in case something does go wrong.
Hi,
I tried rooting my N3 now but i made a mistake by not executing the commands after falshing SuperSU.
That's why my phone is always booting into TWRP. There i tried executing your commands, but apparently the shell refuses to su by throwing exception: "command not found"
Going on with mount-command, it is also giving back an error: "can't find /system in /proc/mounts"
Hope sb could help me now...
EDIT: Solved by installing stock recovery, booting system, and the reflash twrp.

Download http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/282 and http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-n3.img
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
Flash Super SU from within TWRP. Then boot the OS
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
echo "/system/xbin/su --daemon &" >> /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh
Reboot and you're rooted.
By default ColorOS doesn't let apps auto-start themselves, so go into security centre and allow SuperSU to auto-start, otherwise you won't get prompts for root when other apps need it.
Thanks to invisiblek for the original root method and babelmonk for the fix. I have shamelessly copied these and adapted them for the new firmware.

Quoted from your post in oppo forum
Wait for the phone to boot:
adb reboot recovery
It should boot into TWRP recovery flash the SuperSU zip you downloaded but do not reboot as we need to fix a small bug in SuperSU due to Oppo not using the expected startup scripts.
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
echo "/system/xbin/su --daemon &" >> /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh
Reboot and congratulations. You are now rooted.
Sorry , quite new in fastboot command so i apologize if I misunderstood you but I'm running on N5206_EX_23_150208 , which should i follow ? to boot up after flashing SuperSU or not to boot up ?
It doesn't matter which way around you do it, just that root won't work outside of ADB until it's done.
I assume that XDA folk are more familiar with ADB etc. than on the Oppo forums so the instructions skip over more detail here.
Updated the method to use fastboot boot instead of fastboot flash.
This should work around the issue with phones that can't flash twrp, and also leave the stock recovery in place which is more useful to have until we get some custom roms.

I was using modified boot.img to get root and then edit init.qcom.post_boot.sh. Now my wi-fi is broken. Can I fix it without wiping? Maybe flash some other boot img?

Fixed it by flashing boot.img from 150208, root still there due to script edit.
Updated the OP to use the modified stock recovery (Wmjan's recovery for the N5207) as this will be friendlier to noobs and also make it easier to install OTAs.
Anyone know where to get the root coloros file? Link doesn't seem to work for me...

Sorry for the delay in replying. I've re-hosted the file for you.

You could also try this. It worked on my girlfriend's R5 running a similar version of ColorOS. Didn't need modified recovery or anything, install it, run, click the root button, and it'll reboot to recovery and root for you.

can this root work with Chines n5207
Hello,
I'm from Malaysia,
I got problem with my N3 / N5206 after update the newest version of software...now it cannot detect any line signal and open a wifi...what the problem,can u help me...
I can't make the WiFi to work again. Installed all versions of firmware and no luck....
Update: I was using the wrong tool to flash the firmware.
Don't update the phone with Msm8974DownloadTool !!!!
You have to download and install QPST_2.7.460 and place the phone in download mode by pressing volume + and power button and then in QPST load the firmware N5206EX_11_A.11_150528_SVN6225 or Oppo_N3_N5206_EX_11_A.13_151230 or N5206EX_11_A.10_150519_SVN6196
After flashing the wifi is working but you gonna loose the NV ram backup for the IMEI numbers..
Then you have to open dealpad with *#801# and anable Full-port ON
In QFIL(QPST) click on Tools then click QCN Backup Restore
Choose the qcn file and press restore.
Everything will work again after reboot the phone...
Hi everybody,
I'm a newbie.
I tried to root my phone but just can not flash superu.
I flash TWRP ( 2.5.0.0) via ODIN sucessfully with a green Pass . Reboot phone to recovery and Hit System and TWRP asked me to swipe if i want to root my phone. I did and my phone reboot after some action performed by TWRP.
I checked with root check basic and it said Root access is not properly installed on this device. I tried to run TWRP manager apk. It said to run the apk phone need rooted. So I know the phone has not been rooted.
I did the following to see if I can correct the problem.
1)Reboot to TWRP recovery and flash CWM_Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox zip file. No success.
2) flash another zip: su-3.0.5-efgh-signed. No sucess.
3) flash another zip: Update superU-1.51 : No success.
4) Flash ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 6.0.2.8 then try to run Install zip on SD card but CWTR return with an error "can not mount sd card "
Please help so I can root my phone. Thanks.

Solution:
I found a SU file that work at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ginner-trying-to-root-flash-rom-t989-t2832408
I've read the guide and these are the steps I will follow, someone please confirm if I am on the right track.
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Flash TWRP recovery:
here's some confusion. Now that there's systemless root the post says to select read only. But it also mentions that if we boot into android the recovery will be lost and we will need to flash again. am I correct?
3) format data via twrp to disable encryption
4) flash systemless root supersu file
5) select wipe cache/ dalvik
6) reboot into system
7) put rom zip and gapps zip on sdcard
8) go back to recovery and flash rom , and gapps.
some questions.
I will be flashing pure nexus so it wont be necessary to flash super su. right?
what's the deal with systemless root ? I do understand that marshmallow needs modified boot images for root and newer super su patches the boot image. But cant there be simply modified boot images that we can flash via fastboot.
Any precautions I need to take?
or should I simply use wugfresh toolkit?
