[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] JiraffeLeung:
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.

____________________________________________________________________

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.
