Recovery On A Oppo Find 7a And Root It

Oppo’s Find 7a is a great device.  If you want to get one or have one, you are going to want to apply different mods and custom ROMS in it.  Before you can do so, you are going to need to root it and install a custom recovery.

In this guide, we’re going to show you how you can install TWRP recovery on a Oppo Find 7a and root it.

Prepare your phone: 

  1. This guide will only work with the Oppo Find 7A.   Do not try this with other devices as it could brick them.
  2. Charge your battery to least over 60 percent to prevent you from losing power before the process ends.
  3. Install Android ADB and Fastboot drivers.
  4. Unlock your bootloader.
  5. Backup all you important contacts, call logs, and sms messages.
  6. Backup your important media content manually by copying them to a PC.
  7. Enable USB debugging on your phone by going to Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging.
  8. Have an OEM data cable that you can use to establish a connection between your phone and your PC.

Note: The methods needed to flash custom recoveries, roms and to root your phone can result in bricking your device. Rooting your device will also void the warranty and it will no longer be eligible for free device services from manufacturers or warranty providers. Be responsible and keep these in mind before you decide to proceed on your own responsibility. In case a mishap occurs, we or the device manufacturers should never be held responsible.
