U9200 AIO guide
This guide is made by me, but I've collected information from many others.
Special thanks to: arkedk, Urmet77, lee140685, faust93, spanorg, kiprap and others.
First of all:
1. I am not responsible for ANY bricked device! You are doing this at your own risk.
2. Downloads are located here. Most of my uploads are heavily compressed by 7zip. Only 7zip will unzip correctly.
3. Install ADB and FASTBOOT drivers for making stuff in this guide work. Very easily done with: 15 seconds ADB Installer by Snoop05 @ xda
Eventually: Android SDK | Guide by demkantor | Guide by TeamAndroid
4. Backup stuff you want to keep. Easy with tools such as: MyPhoneExplorer, Super Backup, Titanium Backup or others. (Use Google)
5. Other things you should know:
→ Reboot phone to recovery: Turn on while holding volume up + volume down. Or through ADB: "adb reboot recovery"
→ Reboot phone to fastboot: Turn on while holding volume down. Huawei logo will appear and won't disappear. Or through ADB: "adb reboot-bootloader"
→ Shut down phone if it freezes: Hold power button until dead.
→ For ADB to work, debug mode must be enabled, and you must choose "Hi suite" as USB connection mode.
→ Some Huawei ICS ROM's comes without the FM radio app. If you want it, you can install this apk. NB: ONLY ICS (Android 4.0.X). For JB: B704 was the first version to include FM radio.
Here is "ascend-p1" forum category on xda: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/ascend-p1
Gain root access (Works on ANY Huawei stock firmware. Inspiration taken from arkedk's thread)
TWRP has the ability to root our device, regardless of firmware version!
1. Download TWRP v2.6.3.0 (img). Unzip it, and place the .IMG in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" folder.
2. Turn off your phone. Restart it while holding volume down (Fastboot mode). Connect your phone via USB. (ADB: adb reboot-bootloader)
3. In the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"-folder, hold shift while right click. Choose "open command window here".
5. Write "fastboot devices" to verify that the computer detects your device. If not detected, you failed install Fastboot drivers. (Look at the top of this guide)
6. Write "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". This will flash/ install TWRP to your device. (Given that your recovery file is named recovery.img)
7. Boot into your new recovery, TWRP. (Volume + and - together at startup)
→ Go to the "Mount" menu and mount System.
→ Then go to the Reboot menu and reboot the system.
→ When it detects you are not rooted, TWRP will ask if you want to root.
→ Swipe to do so and let it boot back into the system.
8. Hit the SuperSU icon and let it setup for the first time. Either by downloading a flashable zip or by going to the Play Store. Both methods works.
9. You should now be rooted!
Install/flash stock or custom recovery. (Root not required.)
1. Download the recovery you want. Place the .IMG file in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
2. Turn off your phone. Restart it while holding volume down (Fastboot mode). Connect your phone via USB
3. In the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" folder, hold shift while right click. Choose "open command window here".
4. Write "fastboot devices" to verify that the computer detects your device. If not detected, you failed install Fastboot drivers. (Look at the top of this guide)
5. Write "fastboot flash recovery <recovery_name>.img".
→ Let's say the recovery file is named twrp.img. Then you will type: "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
6. If unsuccessful, try again, be very careful about typing it right. If successful, write "fastboot reboot" to reboot your phone. You are done.
Install any Huawei stock firmware, regardless of version (even from custom ROM)
- This will delete everything on your phone's internal memory, and you will loose root.
- The easiest way is by first flashing Intermediate Pack (B123). This is a stock Huawei ROM that will flash regardless of previous firmware version. Any Huawei ROM then will flash straight from Intermediate Pack. No build.prop modifications needed!
- Chinese versions don't have GAPPS installed. This must be installed through a custom recovery after flashing the firmware.
1. Grab "Intermediate Pack", desired firmware version, intermediate FashPack. Links in bottom of this guide.
2. Take the RECOVERY.IMG out of intermediate FlashPack, and Install it through the steps above. (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
3. Place "Intermediate Pack" UPDATE.APP on your SD-card. The file structure MUST be: (Root of SD-card) dload\UPDATE.APP
4. Boot into recovery (Volume up+down when powering on the device). This should start flashing procedure of B123, Intermediate Pack. If it doesn't work and you come from a custom ROM, you must change build.prop to the one included in Intermediate Pack FlashPack. See "FAQ" on how to replace build.prop.
5. After install, it will boot. Now switch the UPDATE.APP from Intermediate Pack with the one from desired firmware version. ((Root of SD-card) dload\UPDATE.APP)
6. Boot to recovery. The firmware flashing procedure will start.
Chinese version extra instructions. This is the time to install GAPPS! B704 extra instructions! arkedk has made a zip to enable all languages in B704. Grab Enable all languages in B704, by arkedk
→ FIRST boot the phone after the firmware installation has succeed.
→ Grab GAPPS corresponding to your android version. (I recommend miuiandroid.com's GAPPS lite, as they removed all unuseful stuff) Place the .zip on the sd-card. Place language enabler.zip on the sd-card as well
→ Install a TWRP v2.4.4.0 recovery
→ Boot into recovery. Install GAPPS.zip. Install language enabler .zip as well
→ Reboot. TWRP will ask you if you want ROOT access. Entirely up to you! For the language enabler to work, you must do a device reset. Relax, GAPPS should be there after the reset.
7. Done! If you want root access, check root guide on top. You can remove Chinese system apps with Uninstall Master. Weather, baidu, and Chinese market won't work outside china anyway. REQUIRES ROOT!
OLD METHOD
Install any Huawei stock firmware, regardless of version (even from custom rom) B229 is a bit different. See "FAQ" at bottom.
This will delete everything on your phone's internal memory, and you will loose root.
Your phone must be rooted for this method to work (replacing/modifying build.prop. Check FAQ about build.prop if you have any questions)
1. Grab firmware (UPDATE.APP), recovery.img and build.prop (Both included in attached FlashPacks) for desired firmware version. Links in buttom of this guide.
2. Place UPDATE.APP on your SD-card. The file structure MUST be: (Root of SD-card) dload\UPDATE.APP
3. Install recovery through the steps above.
4. Download and open "Universal Android AIO Flasher Tool$" to replace build.prop:
→ A: Open desired build.prop in notepad, notepad++ or similar. Copy everything.
→ B: Connect phone in ADB mode (See "First of all" ↑ ).
→ C: Open "Universal Android AIO Flasher Tool$". Go to "Build.prop Editor"-tab
→ D: Insert what you copied into the empty text field.
→ E: Click the "save" button and then "Flash to device". You must grant access with SuperSU (or whatever superuser access management tool) on your phone.
→ F: If successful, you must click "Reboot device" for the changes to take effect. Let the phone reboot.
Manually: "adb pull /system/build.prop" to get the build.prop from your phone.. "adb push build.prop /system/build.prop" to push build.prop to device. "adb reboot" to reboot it (Must be done)
5. After reboot, check "Settings -> About" to check if stated firmware version has been changed to the one you want.
6. Turn off your phone. Restart while pressing volume up + volume down. The firmware flashing procedure will start. If not, you have done something wrong.
7. Done.
Install custom firmwares/ROMs (Root not required)
- This will delete everything on your phone's internal memory. Backup stuff you want to keep.
- All custom ROMs i know is pre-rooted, so nothing to worry about there!
- You will need custom recovery for this to work. Look above.
Depending on firmware, GAPPS (Google Apps) might not be included and must be flashed afterwards if it's wanted. I recommend miuiandroid.com's GAPPS lite, as they removed all unuseful stuff
1. Download desired 3rd-party firmware, it must be a CWM/TWRP flashable .zip. Place it on you memory card. If you're flashing GAPPS aswell, place gapps.zip on the memory card too.
2. Reboot you phone to recovery.
3. Wipe everything the custom firmware needs to have wiped. Generally cache, dalvik and user data.
4. Flash the firmware .zip. Wait for everything to finish!
6. Restart the phone. It will use alot of time the first time. If it uses more than, let's say.. 7 minutes, something is wrong (bootloop).
You can eventually try these steps:
→ Wipe cache, dalvik and userdata with CWM.
→ If this does not solve the problem, check the files and reflash. If it still bootloops: The files don't work with U9200.
If you are going to flash GAPPS, now after the first boot is the time to do it. Boot into recovery, then flash the GAPPS .zip corresponding to your firmware version.
7. Restart and enjoy!

Fix GPS log bug found in some Huawei ROMs. There seem to be a bug, where stock Huawei ROMs will create huge unnecessary GPS logs, that eventually will fill your entire SD card with trash! (We are talking several 100 MB's of logs!).
Disable log keeping by editing a setting in this file: /system/etc/gpsconfig.xml.
Edit: "cLogEnabled" from "true" to "false". Then delete all the logs in: system/data/gps/log.
FAQ
Install latest baseband version
Why? Baseband / radio.img is the software controlling everything that has to do with signal. Newer baseband versions can boost your performance + make battery last longer. It might make things worse, but generally newer means better.
How? There is no way to extract radio.img from Huawei firmware at this point. So only way to do this is through flashing a stock firmware from Huawei containing the baseband (radio.img) version you want. (New firmware sometimes includes updated baseband version). If you want custom firmware/ROMs you can flash them over it, baseband version will remain/ radio.img/baseband is not included in custom firmwares/ROMs. Flashing any Huawei firmware will replace baseband with its own version.
For flashing procedure, see "Install any Huawei stock firmware, regardless of version you are on (even from custom rom)"
GAPPS
Why? You want Google applications, but it's not included in the ROM you've flashed.
Which? GAPPS is made for every android version (ICS=4.0.x, JB=4.1.x/4.2.x). Make sure you pick the right one! (Links in download section). I recommend OpenGapps Pico. Heavier GAPPS will make your device much slower.
How?
- Download GAPPS.zip, move it to your memory card.
- Use custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP to flash it.
Remember:
- Has to be done after the ROM is flashed (obviously) and it's recommended to boot the ROM once before flashing GAPPS.
- All Huawei stock firmwares (Except Chinese versions) have this preinstalled.
What does "Root"/"Root access" mean?
- System files is not editable on stock firmware. Editing these can potentially make your phone into a brick. To remove these restrictions follow the steps in my guide.
- Rooting will in most cases destroy warranty!
- MIUI, CM and other custom ROMs are pre-rooted[/I]
What is build.prop?
- This is a text file stored on your phone, which tells the phone about what firmware version it has + some other stuff.
Why replace build.prop?
Build.prop stores lots of settings and info about your phone. Changing it is most commonly used for tricking the upgrade procedure to think the firmware on the phone is compatible with the update.
- Huawei firmware updates is restricted to some few firmware versions. But they have made a "Intermediate Pack" which will flash from ANY stock huawei ROM. All huawei ROM's will flash from this intermediate pack without the need of changing build.prop. Think of "Intermediate Pack" as a intermediary for getting the firmware version you want.
- If you come from a custom ROM, and intermediate pack won't flash (verification fail in recovery), you must change build.prop to any stock huawei build.prop for it to work.
How to replace build.prop?
Phone must be rooted!
NB: There's a chance your custom ROM won't boot because of using stock Huawei build.prop with it. In case of updating to Huawei stock firmware, be smart. Flash stock recovery, and add the update.app to SD card BEFORE you change build.prop!
- Get desired build.prop (included in my "FlashPack" files.
- Download Universal Android AIO Flasher Tool$, by "fonehacker".
- Plug your phone in ADB mode. Open the tool above. Go to build.prop tab. Open your recovery. Press save. Then flash it to your device.
- Device must restart for the changes to work. The tool will ask you about this, and you press YES.
(Alternative: Take a custom rom zip (LineageOS for instance), open zip without unzipping (Use 7-zip), delete all the folders in the /system, including build.prop. Drag desired build.prop to /system folder. Flash this file from a custom recovery, such as CWM or TWRP. No root needed.)
What is boot.img for?
- It's a file that get flashed to your boot partition on the phone. This file is managing the booting process of your phone. This file is included in all ROM's, therefore there is no need for manual flashing. If the boot partition get's damaged in any way, flashing a boot.img made for the same firmware can fix it. Don't try boot.img from different firmwares/android version!
Why is boot.img included in your FlashPacks?
- ROM developers might use it for developing new and better roms. If you just are updating your phone, you will have no use for it.
What is EmUI?
- Huawei is making a custom version of android for their phones. This project is named Emotion UI, EmUI in short.
What is latest firmware(s) for my U9200?
- The download section always contains latest version of Huawei firmware. If there is a new version I have not listed, tell me
What's the difference of "boot recovery" and "flash recovery"?
Boot recovery will make your phone boot from the recovery file stored on your computer (Through fastboot, your phone is connected with usb)
Flash recovery will replace what ever recovery you already have on your phone.
Can I remove/change battery?
- It's not meant to be possible as there is no plastic cover you can remove without disassemble the phone. There is a small bolt underneath the SD-card cover. I think that's the place to start if you want to open it. This will most certainly break the warranty. If the phone's hardware misbehave in any way you should contact Huawei or the store you bought it from.

You rooted before flashing GAPPS?
The "power bar"
I flashed B229 to a U9200, it had originally B103 which had been updated to 105. manually edited the build to B226 before updating with cwm. Everything is working fine no problems. Only couple of things are missing. The "power bar" which i use to control wifi, BT etc. power on and off in the notification menu (or what ever it is called, the menu that appears when swiping down from the upper edge) is missing and it is quite handy and I'm used to it. Other is the missing boot animation which i knew will be missing after update but did not care about that originally since other bigger issues in the B10x FWs forced me to update to B229. But if easy to apply and anyone knows the way to restore the animation (restore the looks as much "stock" as possible) i would appreciate. But the "power bar" would be very important, anyone know how to restore that? I have messed around with Android a bit and have installed and used custom ROMs and rooted several phones so using the basic root / fastboot / adb functions is no problem even though I'm no Android/Linux expert.
Thanks in advance for your help!
And thank you Olav for the very nice compilation thread for U9200.

Check in the Display settings if the "Notification settings" option is checked. See screenshot from the B226 ROM attached. I hope it's still there?
Boot animation can changed with the AIO flasher tool.

Hello,
I own an huawei u9200
I would like to flash the B229 ROM on my device running B102.
I find this thread very interesting however I have a problem at the very first step.
I can't install fastboot usb drivers
I've been trying to follow the guide you linked at the top of your post, I had a slight issue with ADB Drivers as well,
I could not make those Google USB Drivers downloaded through Android SDK work, I would get the error telling me those drivers are not developed to work with windows x64. But after checking with the command prompt, it turns out that the drivers I needed were already installed and the device is detected as ADB Device.
Back on my current issue:
I understand that I have to shut down my phone and switch it on while pressing both volume up and volume down and after turning it on, I have to plug it to the computer through USB cable. My phone does turn on in download mode, however when I connect it to the USB my computer doesn't detect anything.
Is the screen I am getting the right screen or should I switch the phone on with a different shortcut?
How do I get my computer to detect my phone when I switch it on with the volume+&- buttons?
Which are the correct fastboot drivers to install and where can I download them?
I hope to receive assistance as soon as possible.
Thank you.
EDIT:
I've managed to reboot correctly by using ADB command prompt (typing ADB reboot fastboot)
Now, I'm trying to root and in the command prompt I get this error:
"cannot load 'cwm_touch_recovery_viva_beta.img': No error"
EDIT:
Supersu installed.
Now when attempting to edit the build.prop I get a error message
I check the Concole and I see "Remount failed: Operation not permitted
But I granted root access when prompted. Any Idea?
EDIT:
Tried 39 times until I got it successfully.
And don't ask me how. It's beyond me.
Checked About and version is good.
Now rebooted and "Version list verify fail!"
WHY?
I've checked the build.prop and it is flashed,
I've flashed the 229recovery.img
I reboot and it gives me "Version list verify fail!"
What could have I done wrong?

Try with the build.prop from b226, avaible here: http://openbuildprop.scheffsblend.com/mfg/Huawei (copy -> paste into notepad, save as build.prop)

Ok, this makes sense, it probably wouldn't like to update to a version which is already installed.
This wasn't clear on the tutorial, thanks for the hint.
I'm trying now
EDIT:
Nope, still "Version list verify fail!"
Even though I checked in the "About" and the version shown is B226, which means the .prop was correctly flashed.
So what could the problem be?
EDIT:
Should I also try flashing the B226 recovery?
Do you have a link for any download page?
Can I flash it directly through CWM? CWM wants a root://Update.zip can I put my UPDATE.APP into a zip archive and flash it or does it work differently?
People have had problems updating to B229 with the build.prop i extracted from the B229 fw.
There is simply a little difference at this line:
Code:
ro.build.display.id=V100R001C00B229
It should be:
Code:
ro.build.display.id=U9200-V100R001C00B229
Build.prop from all earlier firmwares (Exept B226) including EmUI betas and stables have the "U9200-"-part before product version on this line.
This is a mistake by Huawei, not me :good:
Updated the FlashPack for B229, new link from mega in first post!
I will be telling you how to put CM 10 on your device without root, as root will automatically come to your device when you are done with CMing. This method works for every phone. I used FXP208-cm-10-20130223-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip for my Xperia Arc LT15i. Just check under the project status tab if you want to know if your device is supported. You can also use CM 9, 8 or 7 if you like, the method is the same. Please consider the fact that that this will void your phone's warranty. (Who cares?)
Note:
You do not need root for this.
You need to unlock your phone's bootloader for this.
Downloads:
Fastboot mediafire.com/?47eu9m848c5wbi0
CyanogenMod freexperiaproject.com
Google Apps goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
Sorry I could not put links... I am not new to Android and CM but I am new to xda so they did not let me put links
Instructions:
1. Extract the CyanogenMod zip and Fastboot zip files to a convenient location.
2. Copy boot.img from the CM folder to the Fastboot folder. There should now be 5 files in the Fastboot folder.
3. Connect your phone to your computer as you normally would.
4. Place Google apps and CM on the root of your SD card in .zip file format.
5. Disconnect your phone and reconnect in fastboot mode. Just search Google for how to connect phone in Fastboot mode.
6. Go to the Fastboot folder. Open a command window and hold the shift button and right-click.
7. Select the " Open command window here " option.
8. Type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
The boot image will be flashed to your phone. Disconnect your phone from PC
9. Boot your phone. When the FreeXperia logo comes press the back button like CRAZY until your phone goes into ClockworkMod recovery.
10. Go to advanced. Select 'wipe dalvik cache' and select yes.
11. Go back to main menu and select 'wipe data/factory reset' and select yes.
12. At the main menu select 'wipe cache partition' and yes.
13. Go to mounts and storage and select 'format /system'.
14. From the main menu select 'reboot system now'
15. Setup your phone.
16. Install updates.
17. Enjoy.

Or, you could've just flashed a pre-rooted kernel like Advanced Stock.
There's a video in my Arc guide too explaining how to install CM.

Yes, NOW you are. AFTER you edited your post, in which you clearly mentioned having problems with rooting and cited this as a method of rooting your device/getting CM10 installed. Besides, there's already a detailed tutorial on installing Cyanogenmod on their own website:

I am glad I could help.
Note: This is for the Find 7 (the QHD version) not the 7a. I tested it on the x9076.
Note 2: I am on a Mac, so these instructions explain how to install Cyanogen on a Mac.
Note 3: If this is the wrong forum feel free to move it.
Note 4: The Find 7 is one of the few phones you can install 3rd party ROMs on without voiding your warranty.
Download Files
Get the simplified Fastboot and ADB package from here:
http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/find-7a-s-team-gummy-recovery.17476/
Get the boot.img from here:
http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/find-7a-s-team-gummy-recovery.17476/
Get Cyanogenmod nightly for 7a here (the branch supports both 7 and 7a):
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=find7
Get Cyanogenmod google apps for KK:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Get Android File Transfer for OS X here:
http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
You have now downloaded all the components you need.
Copy Files to your Find 7
Put all the zip files into a fresh folder to make them easy to find.
Rename the .img file to recovery.img.
Install Android File Transfer and restart your Mac or restart Finder.
Plug your phone into your Mac
Close the dialog informing you that the filesystem of the device you plugged in can't be read.
Android File Transfer will pop up automatically and open a folder view. If it doesn't, pull down the shade on your phone and try toggling between the two filesystem options (Image and File).
Copy the Cyanogen zip and the Google Apps zip onto your phone in the Download folder on your Find 7.
Install Bootloader
Turn on your phone and hold Power until the power off menu pops up.
Touch Power Off.
Immediately press and hold Volume Up.
Your phone will reboot into Fastboot.
Note: The words "Fastboot" appear in tiny, dim letters in the middle of the display.
Open a terminal on your Mac.
cd into the folder where you put your files.
Type the following commands:
Code:
chmod +X ./fastboot
./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You'll see some status go by on the terminal, then it will return to the command prompt.
Reboot Into Recovery, Wipe and Flash New Software
In your Mac terminal type:
Code:
./fastboot boot recovery.img
Wait for the recovery to load on your Find 7 and show the menu.
Use the volume down key to move to Wipe Data & Factory Reset.
Select this option and confirm.
After the wipe is done, go to Install Zip from SD Card (you're not actually installing it form an SD card, it just says this because the internal flash storage emulates an SD card).
Browse to the folder you put your Cynogen and Gapps zips into.
Select the Cyanogen zip to flash it and confirm you want to do that.
Repeat the process to flash the Gapps zipp.
Use +++GO BACK+++ until you return to the main menu.
Select Reboot.
If all goes well your phone will boot into Cyanogenmod.
The first boot can take several minutes, so be patient and don't yank the battery.
After first boot you'll be taken through the onboarding.
When the onboarding is done your Google stuff will start to syncronize and you'll be notified that you need to update Google Play Services.
Update Google Play Services, wait for Android to finish downloading app updates, then reboot your phone.
You're now ready to use Cyanogen on your Find 7.
Note: I found that upgrading the Google Search app included in the GApps package with the one from the Play Store breaks Google Now hotword detection on my phone. If you encounter this you can wipe, re-install gapps package, then go into the Play Store, browse to Google Search, hit the menu key and uncheck Automatic Update to stop it updating when you use Update All.
Note: This is a pretty unstable build.
In my testing I found that it crashed and hung a lot, and that many apps did not work as expected (force closes, refusal to install apk's, etc).
Also you will lose all the special camera features. You can't just port the camera apk because it has some system dependencies.
Ultimately I went back to ColorOS because this build doesn't seem to be ready for daily use.
Here's a bonus tip: If you install the Chinese version of ColorOS from here, you can go to About Phone > Updates and update to 2.14 Beta.
Edit: Gummy is a really good, stable, functional ROM. The only thing it's missing is the special camera app.
looking forward for Windows' instruction :laugh:
Anyway, thank you so much for posting instruction!

VOOC is a hardware thing. It worked fine for me.
My answer was regarding whether the VOOC charger would work or not in 3rd party ROMs. The storage limit isn't that easy to just incorporate in a ROM since changes in the partition table would have to be made. Just settle with 3Gb for now and wait for a safer way to unify/modify the partitions. Who knows, you just might be fine with 3Gb for now

I actually managed to install custom recovery and flashed CM11 already But I am just waiting for someone to post an instruction so that other people can have a clue of what they need to do (I am too lazy to write it ). Looks like this is the post that will help people using Windows :good::good::good::laugh::laugh::fingers-crossed:
Hmm. Fastboot cant find the device. Do we need drivers for Oppo find 7?
Edit: Switched pc. Now erverything works.

I tried to check this "limitation" and you could go really far away from it. I installed Asphalt8 (1GB) + GT Racing2 (1.4GB) + The Cave (1.5GB) and all my used apps (some have more than 100MB apk's size) and I still have space left (and no low storage notification).
I'm using ColorOS-1.2.2i without any modifications (it's just rooted) ...
Enjoy !

When you plug in your phone, it should show you the OPPO driver. Double click on it to install the driver. I don't know if you need driver to access fastboot but doesn't hurt to try
last nightly (cm-11-20140703-NIGHTLY-find7) not work

I've been running the 7/3 nightly all day...no problems...no black screen.
Are you using the X9076?
Sent from my X9076 using XDA Free mobile app

All thanks go to our awesome XDA-Developers, the developers at Oppo, and also to scumpicule for this working root method.
It doesn't require any alterations to the recovery system, just stick with the one that Oppo has provided.
This has only been tested on the X9076, it should theoretically work for other versions of the Find 7 as well, but please do this under your own discretion.
**Update: It has been reported that the newest Rom release of 1.2.2i or 1.2.3i and onward might not work with this root method! If this is the case, you will need to use these instructions from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53902937&postcount=10
________________________________________________________________________________
CONTINUE with these instructions if you have Rom Version: 1.2.1i, otherwise if you have updated, click on the above link ^
INSTRUCTIONS:
Download the "Find7_ROOT4.3_bbs.oppo.cn.zip" file.
** It is also available at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739102&highlight=find+7 **
Then Copy/Paste it in your phone on your root folder
Turn Off your phone
Simultaneously press the buttons ' power ' and 'volume down ' until you feel a vibration.
Your phone will reboot into recovery mode. ( Should be the OPPO recovery ! )
Select ' Choose English ' & Install zip file
Then choose the zip file that you have downloaded in step 1 & click "YES" to install.
Hit "Reboot" once everything is completed.
Go into app drawer and select the SuperSU app. Update the binary by selecting the "NORMAL" method.
Reopen SuperSU and make sure binary is okay.
Try downloading "Root Checker" or a app that requires root.
Congratulations, your device is now Rooted!!
________________________________________________________________________________
If you run into any errors, try updating the SuperSU binary again, or check under "NOTES" on the link above that scumpicule has posted.

Were you able to get to SuperSU in the app drawer? Make sure that the binary was installed properly.
It's interesting because I was able to get it to work perfectly.
See attached photos of Root Checker.
Does not work on ColorOS 1.2.2i
I just got my Find 7 phone and after the OTA upgraded the system to 1.2.2i, when I tried to install the root file and it failed to install.
Installation Failed
No luck. Failed at the zip file installation part. Please let me know if you have any solution. Thanks. Cheers.:cyclops:

I'm having the same problem. When installing the zip from Oppo Recovery, it fails immediately every time. Tried both the Find7_ROOT4.3 and the Find7_GSM4.3 files. Any suggestions?
I think that after the update to 1.2.2i, the root might not work anymore. For all those that don't have it working, can you confirm if you have the 1.2.2i Rom version?
Sent from my X9076 using XDA Free mobile app
Good news!
I have found the Rooting method and instructions for Rom version 1.2.2i
It should work for every Oppo Find 7 and 7a (not confirmed) with any system (till 1.2.2i at least).
In the end system, bootloader and recovery will be intact - > stock rooted.
WORKING ON: x9077, x9076, x9006 (confirmed by #Oiler)
(NOTE):
Android SDK is required (which gives ADB and FASTBOOT files), if you have these files already on your computer, then you can just download TWRP, STOCK RECOVERY (oppo), and SUPERSU.
All the files are located below:
Preparation:
1. Phone with at least 30% battery.
2. Install Oppo drivers from "OPPO Driver" phone partition.
3. Download and unzip: AndroidSDKSlim - https://mega.co.nz/#!SEhFXbzL!Xy4PrX_NKFnAZvPaggQL-1Vw1PESzRCyqXiPrMlvWVM
4. Download: TWRP - https://mega.co.nz/#!gF0GhBzT!HGaWCcQfqr_ns2z7ZEIeeF-0KvXFliEOAFZ_Z-wHcdw and put it in "platform-tools" folder wich u get from zip above. (img file)
5. Download: Stock Recovery - https://mega.co.nz/#!rVQWXKhD!Ljy9pw_sy0VlKzxqJwuD4UoZGMwF_dOmOYWgR1mMRc4 Mod or Stock Recoveryhttp://ge.tt/2EQ5h2m1/v/0?c *2 and put it in "platform-tools" folder. (img file)
6. Download: SuperSU - http://download.chainfire.eu/451/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip?retrieve_file=1 and put it on phone internal storage. (do not unpack)
Changing Recovery Menu:
1. Turn Off phone.
2. Press Volume UP + Power
3. Now u should see small discription on screen: fastboot
5. Plug the phone to PC.
4. Open command prompt inside "platform-tools" folder -> press SHIFT + Right Mouse Click, pick open command prompt here.
5. Write:
Code:
fastboot devices
6. You should see:
Code:
"your phone product code" Dartmoor
7. If you don't see your device listed, make sure drivers are installed properly. Next, write:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-x9077.img
after few second you should see OKAY. (No need to turn off phone) *1
Rooting the phone:
1. Power off the phone.
2. Hold volume DOWN and the POWER button to get into the TWRP Recovery.
3. Pick install and find the SuperSU zip file, confirm the flash.
4. Reboot the phone. (cash and davlik wipe not nessesary)
5. Phone is now rooted. (Check if there is working SuperSU app. Update binary if needed.)
Restoring stock Recovery Menu:
1. Power off the phone.
2. Press Volume UP + Power
3. Open command prompt on your PC inside "platform-tools" folder -> press SHIFT + Right Mouse Click, pick open command prompt here.
4. Write:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery x9077-official-recovery-mod.img
after few second you should see OKAY.
5. REBOOT, or turn off phone by pressing POWER for 3 sec.
6. Check Recovery Menu (Volume DOWN + Power)
____________________________________________________________________
NOTES:
*1 turning off after installing Recovery Mod is unnecessary, this is because the phone won't startup automatically into the installed Recovery Mod.
*2 Stock Recovery is provided as genuine by #Zeus (Oppo Official Staff). The other one - Stock Recovery Mod is provided by #Kedros which have removed checking of Oppo system (provides possibility to install custom files like roms or SuperSU etc.). #Kedros confirmed that OTA update is still available on it.

Same for me on the version number. 1.2.2I I was hoping the process would be easier. Oh well.
The link to the TWRP recovery is down. I tried to download it in every possible way, but I always get an error. WHen I click download once I get to MEGA, it is saying "temporary error, retrying". Please fix, thanks.
Edit - NM working now, thanks just in case you fixed it.
Edit - Rooted phone, left TWRP on if I ever go to CM11s. Had to do a few things diffrent than what you said, but got it to work. Thanks

Total newbie. Could you explain preparation step 2 to me? (2. Install Oppo drivers from "OPPO Driver" phone partition.)
Will this method work with version 1.2.3i?
Many thanks.
Hey, yes the method should work for the most recent version as well. When you plug in your phone to you pc, it prompts you install the drivers from OPPO, just continue and install them.
If you don't see "Developer Options" in your settings ( in "More" ) then go into "About Phone" and click on "Build number" 5 times until you receive a message indicating that developer options is enabled.
Then plug in your phone and see if the drivers get updated. This process has been tested to work on Windows 7.

One more thing, you'll have to enable "USB Debugging" in developer options, then try plugging the phone in again.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your help.
Though I'm pretty sure I've followed your instructions to the letter the phone would fail to install the update.SuperUser file so I can't get to get it rooted.
Any idea, suggestion, tip etc, will be much appreciated.
Thanks
How far were you able to get to? Any errors or freezing? What version of Rom are you on?
Just going to dump all the info I've found about this device into this thread. All the threads pertaining to this thread are in Russian and I can't read Russian, so this might be helpful to any English speaking owners of this tablet.
Special thanks to Telegram user @SSDD_1744 (don't know your XDA/Reddit user, I'm sorry) for basically spoonfeeding me all these instructions!
WARNING: If you need to flash to stock for whatever reason, be sure to download a image file specific to your country. If you don't, you'll hard brick your device that can only be fixed QPST (supposedly).
Rooting:
(Tested on 5.0.2)
Install KingRoot. Let it root your device.
Install Super-SU Me, to get rid of the bloatware that comes with KingRoot.
Installing Xposed:
I used Flashify to flash TWRP. Be sure to flash the right version though (2.8.7.7 v2) or else you won't be able to mount cache.
Then download Xposed (version sdk21 ARM) and flash it.
WARNING: Flash v1 of the modded TWRP and you won't be able install any apps after flashing Xposed.
Unbricking:
Still working on it. Downloaded QPST but have not been able to get QPST 2.7 to read the tablet.

All transactions with their phones / tablets are performing at your own risk !!!
To get started, read this post from start to finish and only then proceed to action!
Introduction
This instruction is written based on my own experience obtaining root on their plates, and then on the Xperia M2, bought plemyashki. For instructions attached versions of applications that were relevant at the time, the new version can download the relevant topics on the forum, there will find all information on how to work with the proposed programs and algorithms for their actions (links to topics added).
For all the action with your phone / tablet you are responsible for yourself!
Download all the necessary tools to obtain Root (of instructions / topics on the forum), obespechte for phone / tablet access to the Internet (Wi-F / mobile data) and let the phone settings / tablet installation from unknown sources.
Needed Downloads
KingRoot_V4.5.0B202.apk (6.76 MB)
Me_5.9.apk-SuperSU (9.07 MB)
V2.49 Beta.apk SuperSU (5.63 MB)
eu.chainfire.supersu.pro.205.apk (52,88 KB)
Next in series:
1. Install KingRoot .
Get Ruth's right, in the device may reboot.
2. Set SuperSU-Me, .
Run the grantor, the program deletes KingRoot and Chinese KingUser with replacement SuperSu.
Remove the longer SuperSu-Me the desired program.
3. Obnovyaem SuperSu to the latest version. Then set PRO-key .
Installing Pro-key Optionally !!! Use Cases SuperSu without installing key .
4. Open SuperSu and on-demand update binary SU normal way. After a successful update, confirm the request to restart.
5. To make sure that everything is done correctly, check the correct installation and operation of Ruth (mount the system partition on the record), I used the Root Checker Pro and Root Explorer , respectively.
The output is a complete rut without kitayschiny with SuperSu Pro. We use and enjoy

If you want to open the engineering menu, type " * # * # 4636 # * # * "
To boot into fastboot, restart/turn on the device and hold volume up. It'll pop you into a menu with three options.
To boot into recovery, from the fastboot screen (three options), use the volume buttons and navigate to the second option "factory reset" and hit power to confirm. It'll boot into recovery.
=====================================================================================
Recommended way to flash ROMs:
1) Download TWRP. Use adb to boot (NOT flash) into TWRP. Flash ROM there.
2) use KingRoot to root. Use Flashify to flash the ROM.

I see that Lineage OS is supported on Z380KL. However, I found the wiki spec showing Snapdragon 410, but I found Z380KL in Asia with Snapdragon 615. Before I commit, I'd like to know if anyone knows whether LineageOS is fully compatible with Z380KL with Snapdragon 615 chipsets? Thanks.

Flashing TWRP on 6.0.1 (Sept 1, 2016 patch):
1) grab your drivers (W10: boot into "no driver signature verification mode" to install the drivers needed for fastboot)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cGcoDCvmTxfXWNTG0iOXHw1WScmYBrKS
2) turn on debugging
3) type in "adb devices", verify that your computer sees your tablet (if you don't have ADB/Fastboot, get https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790)
4) type in "adb reboot bootloader"
5) you'll see three options: 1. Enter SD DL mode, 2. Factory Reset, 3. Exit update mode
6) type in "fastboot devices", verify that your computer sees your tablet
7) grab your TWRP file (http://vasy.ru/TWRP/P024/) and type in "fastboot flash recovery [replace w/ location of the TWRP file].img"
8) once it says "finished", click factory reset mode (use volume buttons to navigate, power button to enter)
9) it should reboot into TWRP, slide to allow modifications
10) Boom, TWRP is installed.
OPTIONAL, BUT HELPS TO KEEP TWRP INSTALLED: Flash Magisk.
That way, stock recovery won't overwrite TWRP when you reboot.
IF YOU WANT TO KEEP TWRP BUT DON'T WANT Magisk:
1) After first boot into TWRP, turn off tablet.
2) Then turn on and hold Volume Up + Power. That will boot you into Bootloader Mode.
3) Go into factory reset and it should boot you into TWRP.
Now, it's safe to boot into the OS.
(TL;DR: Boot into TWRP twice before booting into the OS or else stock recovery will overwrite TWRP.)
Flashing LineageOS:
1) DL LOS from https://download.lineageos.org/P024
2) DL GApps from http://opengapps.org/ (choose 7.1)
3) boot into TWRP
4) go into Wipe, slide to wipe
5) go to Install, click on LOS file > add to queue, click on Open GApps file > add to queue, flash
6) wait til it's done, click "reboot"
7) wait a while (took mine 3 or so minutes to boot)
8) enjoy!

probably not. I think it's only compatible with the SD 410.

Thanks for the tutorial, I had already dared to flash twrp recovery before you wrote this tutorial...
I believe my bootloader is still locked. And I could not reproduce/ write exactly what I did. But, in my case, just for information, when I want to go back into twrp, I can boot into bootloader (power volume up) and then option 2 reset the device gives me the twrp... I am not sure if that is how you get it, but for me, I still had twrp.
I think i will install magisk after reading your post.

I don't think unlocking the BL is necessary for flashing LOS. But yes, that's how I get into TWRP as well.
Hello I'm new in the forum and I write from Italy, yesterday unfortunately I had the brilliant idea to downgrade my Asus z380kl through ADB, Fastboot and TWRP from pc so far so good, I go to flash the new rom and gives me error, I try to restore the backup here too error result? Tablet locked the only way to make it recognize to the PC is with ASUS FLASH TOOL ROM problem in format.raw unobtainable not even on the Russian site. Any good soul has the possibility to let me download it? Thanks, Sorry English but it is a translation of the very useful Google translate.

Can you still access fastboot, then at least you can flash twrp as described before in this thread and install from twrp lineageos p024 (lineage-14.1-20180105-nightly-P024-signed.zip) and Open gapps to get google playstore etc , select Arm, (not 64) then version 7.1, then Pico would work.
If you have twrp, you at least can still use your asus... I have found no way to flash original stock... stock must not be flashed from twrp.
Since you mention twrp already used, you can try: turn your device off, then press volume up then the bootloader menu comes, select 2: reset to enter twrp(where it says reset. if you had flashed twrp, that is how you can get into twrp) from there, install lineage os and gapps from micro sd card
My rom is MMB29M.WW_P024-V5.9.4-20170613

I assume this is on stock rom ? What version of magisk would work? I found I can be back at stock with my twrp backup so ..
But magisk 15.3 zip failed to install on stock-
I also used supersu v82 working on stock, or lineageos.
Would you know what magisk works on lineageos?
I like the exsd extension of magisk so I would like to try it on this device, either stock or lineageos

Yes it was. I flashed 15.2 on both stock and LOS. I've heard of some issues with 15.x so you can try .2 or 14.x.

What error was given? What do you see when you connect it to a computer? What does "tablet locked" mean? Would help if you gave some pictures too.
I'm currently in the process of getting the RAW files/service ROMs for AFT but I don't have an ETA on when I'll be able to get that.
No on the tablet I have not installed TWRP and no other recovery.When I go into the original recovery of the tablet there is always the screen with the lock closed at the bottom right and there is no way to show it to the PC even with adb sideload, l 'only program that recognizes me the tablet is Asus flash tool, however, as I have already written the damn ROM in RAW format is untraceable.

Does it respons to adb devices of fastboot devices in this stage?
no, it is not recognized
