[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisAmaba:
Tried these things (3rd might be a possiible solution)

1.)

I tried using the OTA update which is a .ozip file, and needs a certain key to be usable (Needs to be decrypted to zip), key differs depending on the device

as for reference:

filedesc.com/en/file/ozip

tried tools such as

github.com/bkerler/oppo_ozip_decrypt

(But with no luck, A5 2020 isn't supported)

2.)

I found something on the web which is the CPH1931_11_A.08_190905_cb4610de.ofp

which i cannot decrypt to get the boot.img file

3.)

If your willing to take the risk, i found this

forum.gsmdevelopers.com/oppo-android-unified/84350-oppo-a5-2020-cph1931-dead-boot-alive-akshay-bhandare.html

which leads to the boot.img here (Just extract then you'll find boot.bin, change the file extension to boot.img (Just replace/rename .bin to .img))

mediafire.com/file/8kb8ilgz0mxaga3/OPPO_A5_2020%2528CPH1931_%2529DEAD_BOOT_ALIVE_BY_AKSHAY_BHANDARE.rar/file

(If link doesn't work anymore, ill upload the one I've downloaded already)

I tried patching this using Magisk and it works, but i haven't tried flashing it to A5 2020

Thank u so much[/QUOTE]
