[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Hi there, I have tried to find a solution today for this issue but I can't find anything useful anywhere :(.

Last night I received another update via OTA 151115 and proceed to install it as the earlier ones didn't work. Surprisingly this one worked and after restart my phone didn't had any trace of google apps on it, try to install google play, framework and so but the phone says it's not compatible with google (Big time). Then I went to the bootloader to perform a wipe/erase everything and here's when the problem began, it was stuck in the screen that says optimising applications (the one before starting the setup) and after half an hour unattended the phone restart itself one after another, like in a loop.... From this point on, I haven't been able to power on the device anymore.

It was bought through a third party seller from China, already contacted them and waiting for an answer...

Any clue about what can I do to use my phone again?

Update: I can see the oppo logo after pressing volume up plus power buttons for around 15 seconds but it shows for less than a second the screen it appears when it's updating the software and then it switches itself off... Is this a sign of possible recovery in some way?

just downloaded the last 151115 official update from the oppo community forum but I've got a problem. I can not enter the fasboot or recovery mode because the phone is like trying to install something and it constantly switches itself off... The day this happened, I had two files in my root directory, one was the few update and the other was a full Google thing in the same format than the fw file, I'm afraid I selected the wrong one and that's why the phone went crazy. I guess if there's some way to cancel that attempt to update the wrong file or reset that thing in some way, I'd be able to start over but I can't find anything grgrgr

By the way, the last ota update allowed google maps to work flawlessly and also Instagram, two of my biggest concerns with the phone

I'm even trying to contact oppo service to send the thing and sort it out that way xx

Cheers

I've just contacted Oppo Customer Service in Europe to see if they have any solution for my problem as I can't make this thing to start and the battery also doesn't seems to be charging though... No response for the moment, just an automated one confirming the reception of my enquiry :(

Should I start thinking about my lovely new phone as my new paper weight?
[Oppo R7 Plus] ed_mobstyle:
No, no you have a chance to save your phone. If you have to R7 plus M Oppo Chinese version, I can help you. I also had this problem, but he was able to solve it. My Skype: ed_mobstyle.
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Hi mate, thanks for the answers. Yes it is the China mobile version "M" I don't have Skype I'm afraid grgrgr

I was able to fix this problem fairly easily.

First I entered recovery (press Power + Volume Down when the phone is booting up)

Then from the device menu I installed a ROM, you want to download the version you last used. (MAKE SURE IT IS FOR THE OPPO R7 PLUS M)

After installing the stock rom, it will go into installation and have you set up your phone.

After you installed the ROM, download OPPO tools v 1.6.5

Open Oppo Tools and root your phone this will take a few minutes.

After you have rooted your device open Oppo Tools again and select Unlock Google Mobile Services (this too me two weeks to figure out).

Let the phone restart, after it is finished, you should have basic google functionalities (Playstore and Frameworks).

Now since you are rooted, it means that your phone will not download any further OTAs and you will have to install them as ROMs, you can do so by repeating the above process, but I'm not sure of the functionality of Oppo Tools past the most current version.

I cant post links to provide you to where the ROM files and Oppo Tools are at this moment

The roms will be located on the "[ROM][STOCK] Official R7 Plus Roms | R7Plus, R7PlusF, R7PlusM [15 Sep 2015]" of Oppo Fourms

The Oppo Tools will be located when you google "OPPO Tools apk" on your computer and it will take you to the thai version of Oppo Fourms follow the link there to download the apk
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Hi mate, thanks for your answer but my problems is that I can't enter the recovery mode cause the phone try to install something and then it switches itself off :(

I've tried to connect the phone to my laptops and sometimes they recognised it as Qhsub something and I can't find anywhere this driver. Then all the softwares I've got ask me for a scatter file which I don't have....

Also trying to contact support from the brand. For now just send them my data and the phone's imei and now waiting for the magic response... They are excessively slow in their answers!

Thanks so much anyway;)

Cheers

Still at the same point mate! The thing keeps on trying to install something and switches itself off. My windows laptop runs on win10, the other is a Mac so I guess useless for this matters... The battery runs out faster than ever even being off. Disaster! Lol

[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Hi mate, my problem is that my computer detects the phone as qhsusb_bulk and I've tried every single file I found with that name and nothing changes, well, the device name from unknown to com1, com2... up to com13 I have seen.... Other thing is that I can't enter the fastboot mode or recovery mode neither. I wish I had an oppo service near home but I live in Uk, now I'm trying to get service from oppostyle and waiting for an answer. To be honest with you, I'm really annoyed with all this, never had a problem with bricked androids or iphones until I met this "guy" lol

Cheers

[Oppo R7 Plus] sollitair:
I'm really sorry dude I hope I can help you as I did for mine it was quit simple with the same driver problems,so try to uninstall all drivers you have for oppo and install the one I shared with you taken from my ohone directly that the only way you can give any commands to your phone to switch to fastboot mode even if the problem still present
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
when I try to install the driver on my win10 laptop it says this...
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Using an old win7 laptop I managed to install the bloody Qhsub driver and now the phone appears in the com ports under the name Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4) does this means the phone really doesn't exist?
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Update to this thread, I can't do anything until I find a proper driver for the phone which actually is recognised by my laptop as Qhsub_bulk and I can't bloody find this anywhere at least for making 6795 processors or specifically for this model...

Any clue?
[Oppo R7 Plus] ed_mobstyle:
No need panic ))) I've sent you a set for recovery your device )))) Good luck
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:

[Oppo R7 Plus] mikejasonsmith:
Sorry to hijack thread but is there a link to download OPPO tools? I need it to be a direct link if possible?

Thanks
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Hi Mike, as far as I remember I got mine from the Vietnamese oppo forum, check it out and let Google translator do the job of understanding. Anyway, I have to say that this was the beginning of my big trouble

[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Hi again mate, I followed your tutorial step by step but.......... Msm can't see my device, it appears on the device manager but the software when I plug in the USB pressing vol up keep on saying waiting for device to connect...

Never ever in my life a phone had me as frustrated as this one grgrgr lol

Here is a picture of msm saying that... I click anyway on download and left it for about 2 hours but nothing happened [IMG="msm saying no fckng way..."
[Oppo R7 Plus] mikejasonsmith:
Hi mate.

Just done the same thing and now I have the exact same problem. If you figure out how to get it out of bootloop let me know mate.

Only got the phone today!!!!!!
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Bloody hell! The same day you got the phone? Wow! Btw, yours is a Qualcomm or Mediatek based processor? Because mine is a Mediatek and that's the core of all my problems

Cheers
[Oppo R7 Plus] mikejasonsmith:
Mines Qualcomm and its the new 4gb RAM, 64GB from version...so peeved now.

Has anyone responded? Normally you can do a fastboot and reflash stock rom but it doesn't even allow a hotkey fastboot!!!!
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Got no clue about that, mine doesn't boot further than lthe ogo, tries to install something and then it switches itself off. I'm trying to contact the Chinese shop where I bought this phone through aliexpress but got no answer and a massive complaint against them all... Oppo by itself asks me for 230.€ just to accept the phone and check what's wrong.

Hope you have better luck with yours
[Oppo R7 Plus] ed_mobstyle:

I am stuck in "waiting to enter usb download". Device shows up in device manager as qualcomm 9008.

Can anyone tell the sequence of buttons, plugging in, starting program etc ... ? Thanks
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Hi again mate, finally realised that all these things work better in winXP compatibility mode so I reinstated drivers and run the msm soft, now it changed to 9006 as you said but it's kinda stuck there, may I have to run the software again? Otherwise, my phone is a damm Mediatek processor not a Qualcomm. Hooe this is not an issue for the process lol. Now on msm at the 6th row it says disk device but for the moment I'm kinda stuck here..

Another thing, you talk about flashing. Wich soft should I use for this? Is it msm too? To this point I think something is progressing here xx

Thank you very much for your time and help and happy new year too
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
I run again msm, did again start and now is downloading all the system.... Beginners question. Where does it saves the files? The phone now doesn't turn on at all, I guess it's normal isn't it?

Cheers
[Oppo R7 Plus] ed_mobstyle:
Your processor qualcomm (hs-usb qdloader driver only for qualcomm processor) mediatek driver "MediaTek preloader usb vcom port". If you stuck 9006 1. Disconnect device 2. hold press both vol key and pwr 10-15 sec.

3. now run msm downloader press vol + and usb

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

the phone should start up as normal. connect the charger and wait. Very long first start

I am stuck in in 9008. [IMG="9008"]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4DH-ohfPXM9TEJyZGxPbGdUMFU/view?usp=sharing[/IMG]
[Oppo R7 Plus] ed_mobstyle:
Your version r7plusM (Chinese Version or r7plusf International version)? It may be necessary to reset (both keys and volume). May be reflashing your device. first make a reset and put on charge.
[Oppo R7 Plus] marlinsters:
Thanks for your reply.

I can't make a reset, factory reset does not work either when booting up or from system settings when on.

And now I have problems starting it, nothing happens when trying to boot it up.

Any other ideas of total wipe and start over?
[Oppo R7 Plus] ed_mobstyle:
1. shows logo or black screen?

2. you pressed the formatting or not after 9006? Do not press the formatting!!!

3. Maybe the battery is very low

4. No need wipe, Only press both vol key and pwn after vibro release all keys.
[Oppo R7 Plus] mikejasonsmith:
Do you have a step by step guide to getting win7 to recognise the driver properly?

Thanks

Mike
[Oppo R7 Plus] ed_mobstyle:
1- reboot pc in test mode (open CMD as admin and type bcdedit /set testsigning on) after reboot PC.

2- go in sw folder and start msm downloader

3- switch off device and press vol up and insert usb (device manager show Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008)

4 - Change protocol smt and press Start Download (don't touch device and don't format usb disk after install new driver Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9006)

5 - profit )))

OR

1. download teamviewer.com and install it. After give me code for connecting

2. Download my pack and extract

3. install qualcomm driver

4. I am connected to your computer and restore your device.

5. you record video how repair oppo and share for all
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Hey it's working again! Can't believe it mate! Only issue with this new version is that it comes bloated with crap all over, the ota update doesn't work because it says my device is rooted... It may have come from the shop this way though and there's no sign of any Google things. Now I'm upgrading to the origin of the problem version 151115 , perform a wipe everything and now checking if this version has Google or at least allow me to update ota and luckily it's downloading the 151205 but still no Google apps and less apps are in only Chinese, thousands of new options in the settings and just waiting for this new version to install and see if there's any news about Google as when I try to install Google play services it says parse error or also my device is incompatible with Google (this last one freaks me out)

Now installing the new version.... And no Google but the system performance is awesome now. Is there a way to install the Google thing to make it look like a normal phone? Also this app called oppo tools that can unroll the phone is it possible to find it anywhere? I've checked loads of posts and can't find a single working link .

For the moment you did guide me to fix the phone like a pro, can't say enough about how I appreciate it mate and by the way, a big "**** off" to the oppo customer service lol
[Oppo R7 Plus] mikejasonsmith:
Hi.

I will try if not successful I will download teamvier and let you do it if that's OK?

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

Tell me how you did it?!!? :)
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Hey, just followed the steps ed gave us, at the first time it seemed not to work properly so I uninstall the driver, install it again, repeat the process, it downloaded again all the files (remember not to format) and when it looked like absolutely dead, just pressed vol up plus power button for about 15 secs and... I couldn't believe that horror welcome screen shining again xx

One thing is it starts with an old version from July 2015 absolutely bloated with crap and as my phone comes rooted from origin it didn't allow me to update it OTA, then I updated it with a fw from November and the other update work again.

Try it and let us know if you'll be the next brick unbricked

Cheers

[Oppo R7 Plus] mikejasonsmith:
Thanks mate.

But can you do me a huge favour and do a step by step guide without abbreviations?

I'm going to try on a win7 machine over the weekend so wish me luck!

Really pleased for you though...what a result and huge thanks to Ed - true gentleman.

Hey,

Thanks to you Ed...really appreciate your help.

[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Believe me I have tried to do the video thing but... This old laptop is so very old, good for this matters but can't ask for more. I screw again the phone while rooting it with oppo tools, it gets stuck in the screen that says optimising applications and so, then I forced shut down pressing vol up and down plus power button for a few seconds and start over.

First things first, everything has been tested in a win10 laptop, just remember to run every single thing in compatibility mode to winXP SP3

# open cmd as admin and type bcdedit /set testsigning on, reboot your computer

# install the qualcomm drivers and remember, in compatibility mode to winXP SP3

# Open msm downloader from the folder you get after unzipping the big file Ed sent you before in compatibility mode to WinXP SP3

# press vol up and connect the usb to the phone (don't leave the cable connected to the phone and connect it to the computer)

# Open your device manager and check if the device is recognised as Qualcomm... 9008

# In msm downloader check that one of the rows says com device, if so, don't touch anything but the start button, leave it do its thing (takes a while) and in the middle of the process you will hear a device connection, that means the driver has been changed to Qualcomm 9006, in my experience, the win7 old laptop got stuck at that point so I had to close the program and do the process again, in win10 don't, it goes straight forward till the end

# When everything says download complete, just unplug the phone, press the power button for a while and the magic is done, the bloody thing will come back to life... Once you're in the system, check for updates and at least for me it said that my device was rooted (surprise) and had to update manually a newer version R7Plusm_11_OTA_017_all_201511151902 that I got from another user on here, click on this link http://assorted.downloads.oppo.com/firmware/R7plusf/R7plusfEX_11_OTA_010_all_201510211130.zip after you update you'll be able to use again the OTA updates.

Only problem? No trace of Google at all, that is gonna be my next research, how to install the google universe back as in my case I can't use twrp because my version is a PlusM not the F

If someone finds out the way to install gapps back please let us know

Thank you very much and happy new year from Uk xx
[Oppo R7 Plus] mikejasonsmith:

[Oppo R7 Plus] marlinsters:
Hi!

1. It only shows a black screen. I cannot seem to turn on the phone anymore.

2. I never get to 9006, only 9008 and then nothing happens anymore.

Seems like i'm bad out of luck.... :\
[Oppo R7 Plus] peterpanda1970:
Hi mate, before plug in the phone to the computer press volume up, then plug it in and it should appear as a com device or similar in the msm list if so just press start and it should start downloading to the phone.

Oh, after installing the drivers you restarted your computer didn't you?

Cheers
[Oppo R7 Plus] marlinsters:
Hi and thanks!

Yes I restarted it after installing the drivers :=)

Power and volume up yes it shows up a device.

Then I release the buttons.

It shows up Cualcomm 9008 in device manager and com port in msm download.

Then it starts downloading something and stops.

It gets stuck in "waiting to enter usb download" in communication status of msm.

After this nothing more happens. It is also not showing up anymore then in device manager.
