[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edward.snowden:
Here it is finally. The definitive guide on rooting your OppooPoo R9s.

Grab phone and take photos, Note down a few important devce ID's and specs.

Write an advert in your preferred personal item selling platform. Ie ebay.

Rid yourself of the shackles.

Purchase new phone. And voila you are once again su. It should never be this hard to do so, but you have overcome way more than you think. You are no longer a victim of philosophical cross contamination, and you are once again in control of your own destiny as opposed to unhealthy side effects of using apple products which are sadly in control of you.

The very reason i choose android is quite simply, i like to choose what i want and what i can do with it. I don't want to be a sheep. But i might as well be. This phone is pretty much an apple product. but even to a lesser degree. ioS 10 absolutely wipes the floor over this colourOS. I have one for a work phone. And colourful it isn't. Themed in light grey text on a white background is not the kind of thing a person with bad eyes should be expected to put up with. Not an issue? Well getting themes is a PITA nothing sticks. Cant change default message apps,

Last night was the final straw. I was trying to reply to an ad on Craigslist. But no matter what i did, it would not pick up gmail as the defaultapp but rather send me to gmail on web, without a reply page ready to go with the adress conveniently placed in the send to box. Instead the best automated method i was able to muster from this completely frustrating pile of junk was the default mail app. I resisted the urge on every occasion to enter my details on to that app. But in the end i cracked. So i enter it all in. And it won't work. I know my password is right. Turns out i had to go to my Google settings and enable the account to use "Less Secure" apps.

That was the moment of clarity i needed. Im moving on. Ive been glued to this thread for a good couple weeks now. And none of it is beyond me at all. I'm handy on a command line done a bit of my own kennel tweaks for monitoring mode on the Galaxy S4. I even stupidly set up a baidu account. And got downloading before i had finished reading. That was a hack in itself. Please don't ask., it was voodoo code.

I reckon i was on about my 10th read of this last night, because I've been trying to find other ways and just tossing up weather is worth fighting for. And for me the answer is no.

I really appreciate the efforts you guys have made, I know some of it is just purely instructional, but ive been doing a lot of translating myself and it's hard work all the same. And you even threw in a nice script here and there..... But this is as easy as it gets, to end up with buggy cm13, which my biggest gripe would be the speakerphone issue. Its one of my most needed features not to mention i have an Australian model which would be another unsavoury issue. .....

Yeah i really just wanted to say thanks to a couple of you for your very interesting but unrewarding effort. And to the rest of you, i would seriously consider the absurdness of this unlockable uncustomisable, closed source pile of junk that makes no sense at all. From the ground up. And i fear this will become more of an issue soon from the Chinese backed manufacturers. I think it's quite probable that the push to lock down Chinese smart phones is authoritarian feom the communist rulers.

They dont want you to have freedom to install what'sapp through a tor proxy undetected. Much easier as a super user. Another attack on human rights? Debateable i know, but enough reason why this phone is no longer something i would ever own again.

Coming to the end of my rant ,

And heres another very important point. Please dont install any of the one clicks mentioned in here which will hopefully get removed by moderators.

IRoot Will install a PUP which isnt surprising. Standard AV picked it up straight away. But i let it in to play.... (As you do with one clicks. ) And wile that little proggy is drawing attention from everywhere, its other friend gets to sneak in undetected. So After the unsuccessful root i had a poke around at the app. It had 2 permissions. Which werent even the concerning type. I knew straight away that that app had zero chance of rooting anything, so i went looking. AV only picked up the one thing. Luckily ive been through this phone with a microscope for a few days so it was pretty obvious when i saw it. It hads enough permission to be a RAT and i doubt its anything other than one. And the AV didnt find it on 2 occasions.... I should know better......

Thanks again but i think you're wasting your talents. Here....
