Dear, I have unlocked bootloader from Developer options, there is an option named as OEM Unlock. and boom.. fastboot unlocked
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ineedroot69:
ohh Oppo F5 is also MT67** you can follow what i did on my phone

just follow this thread Root all MTK Devices

( CRUCIAL STEP ) Make sure you have your Oppo F5 bootloader unlocked and ADB Debugging Enable

( CRUCIAL STEP )Make sure you have properly set up "Root all MTK Devices"

while "Root all MTK Devices" is running type following on ADB

adb shell

ls -la /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name

this will list all partition (remember what partition you want to DUMP)

now do DD command

for example ( this is just example don't copy it )

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

NOTE:: Some File Manager/Explorer will not show .img file on your SD Cards if this happen download "File Explorer EX" on playstore

I Am Not Sponsored by File Explorer EX in Any Chance

Congratulation now you have backup of recovery.img and you can use it to install Magisk and Root your Oppo F5 :fingers-crossed:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androgeek2010:
Are you sure about that we can unlock the bootloader by simply enabling "OEM Unlock" in the developer options in Oppo F5?

I have tried many times to run adb commands and get into adb fastboot but no luck so far.

Many people also talking about Oppo's strict policy about not to allow fastboot and bootloader unlocking.

Please let us know if you have successfully done bootloader unlocking and got rooted your Oppo F5.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

Have you done this process on your Oppo F5 to get root?

Please let us know how you unlock the bootloader as it is the "CRUCIAL STEP" and a prerequisite before following this guide to get root.

Thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ineedroot69:
No i only have BLU Vivo XI which is Helio P22

while Oppo F5 is Helio P23

also i just bootloader unlock mine with

fastboot oem unlock

just make sure you have MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM driver installed so you can use fastboot

you can also forcefully enter fastboot mode by typing on ADB

adb reboot-bootloader

you need to turn off parallel apps, then go into a root explorer and delete

data/system/999

data/system_ce/999

data/misc/999

data/misc_ce/999

data/user/999

data/user_ce/999

This will allow you to do a backup, but you'll get "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255' when trying to restore. So it feels kind useless, unless someone can figure this out.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] larpoux:
I could resolve my nandroid /data backup error on my EMUI 8.0 device with those following steps:

1 - Use a correct TWRP implementation

TWRP need to access the uncyphered partition /data.

There no possibility to backup it, if TWRP does not implement deciphering user data partition.

2 - Remove all users except user 0 (the administrator)

You can verify that there is no unwanted users, looking at directory /data/user : the only subdirectory should be "0".

To remove the others users :

Remove the PrivateSpace if you have one (Settings > Security & Privacy > PrivateSpace, and tap on the garbage can).

Remove all the secondary users (Settings > Users & accounts > users, and tap on each users to delete them). Keep just the main administrator user.

On EMUI, remove all twins applications (Settings > Apps & Notifications > App Twin, and disable all twin apps).

On OxygenOS, remove all parallel apps (Settings > Apps > Parallel Apps, and disable all parallel apps).

On MIUI, remove all dual apps (Settings > Dual Apps, and disable all dual apps)

On others devices ... you must find all parameters that create those unwanted users.

If you are not able to get the correct settings to suppress those users, in last resort you can try this command : "pm remove-user user-no. (For example "pm remove-user 999").

3 - Do not forget to protect your backups by a password

This would be stupid to cipher your /data partition and keep backups of this partition unprotected.

These steps fixed the nandroid backup problem for /data partition on my Huawei device.

I post on this forum because I hope that this will be helpful for others devices owners.

I was on the Nov 17 update (taimen-opd1.170816.025) with latest magisk 15.1 on beta chanel, when I followed the magisk steps to take an ota update. ie, restored boot, ran the ota update and let it complete stage 1. When the ota started stage 2, I went back to mgisk manager and disk an install to the second slot. After ota update completed stage 2, I let the phone reboot... and it went into boot loops.

How do I rescue my phone now, and get it back to the Nov 17 update or to the latest 8.1, preferably without losing data?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] webbrowser:
I read some stuff and it seemed like reverting back to the factory image without wiping data would be a good solution.

So I downloaded the factory image (taimen-opd1.170816.025), latest platform tools, edited the flash-all.bat to remove the "-w", then ran flash-all. This completed successfully.

But upon reboot, I get the colorful G screen, with the progress bar going along underneath it, and it's stuck at this screen for a long time now.

Help?!

try using the latest image 8.1 because i think it was upgraded to 8.1, so try using 8.1 factory image without wipe of course.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Were you on 8.0 or 8.1 when you tried this?? Checking the build #, it looks like that factory image is 8.0. You can't downgrade unless you wipe all data.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] webbrowser:
Oh! I was originally on 8.0. The OTA to 8.1 had completed both stages but didn't seem to work on reboot, so I thought it was not working and tried to flash the 8.0 images. But now I see that may be the cause of the problem. WIll try to flash 8.1 without wiping.

...

Hooray, it works! My phone is working again.

Any idea what was wrong with my steps for doing the OTA with magisk though? I was doing this.

Could this have been the problem with the ota update? Would this have rescued my 8.0 -> 8.1 bootloops? Are there any further instructions on this (e.g. which slots and how to flash these) since it doesn't use the flash-all.bat script?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't get why people are going the OTA route when flashing the factory image is easier (fastboot flash-all.bat (with or without the -w), fastboot TWRP, flash TWRP zip (optional), flash cust kernel (optional), flash magisk (optional), reboot, profit.

No messing with slots, or anything.... what's the benefit of flashing OTA versus factory image?

The magisk ota route should be possible even without a computer. If it works reliably, I think it is more convenient.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lssong99:
Not sure if you guys get everything working or not. Mine definitely not working...

Originally I have my system on OPM1.171019.011 (8.1, Dec version) with Magisk root. Everything runs smoothly. However, I tried to flash (via FASTBOOT, I had my dtob.img fixed) OPM1.171019.013 (8.1, Jan/5 version). The Magisk root lost (of course) but system works ok.

Then I tried to use Magisk Manager to patch the boot.img (since there is no boot.img in Jan/5 OTA zip, I used the boot.img in OPM1.171019.011 (8.1, Dec version) for Magisk Manager to modify.

I flashed the modified boot.img but then my Pixel 2 XL is booting with Google logo with a horizontal line running underneath. It doesn't go into system. (boot loop?)

Did I missed anything here?

Thanks!

----- Update... My bad... I should download the factory image and get boot.img from there..... Sorry for bother...
