R5S Stock Recovery needed - Oppo R5

I was under the impression that since the R5S has the same model number as the R5 (R8106) and is just a bump in RAM and flash memory, that the recoveries and ROMs would be compatible.
I was wrong, and having flashed TWRP, or the wmjan recovery, they can't boot.
Anyone got the stock recovery img from an r5s so I can have a working recovery again? The stock r5 recovery from oppoforums has the same problem as the custom ones.

If you tell me how I can extract the image from a R5S I can do it for you.

---

Are you rooted?

---

I'm rooted. Just got my r5s the other day. Like to get some dev action on this. If you tell me the steps I can do it for you. I'm familiar with ADB.

---

Guys, seems that the recovery image is the same as for R5. All in all, it seems the whole system image is the same for both devices. This is the recovery from the OTA version 16.

---

Thanks. No surprise really given it's only RAM and SSD increases. No need for a new ROM.... well except Lollipop

---

Thank you, that recovery worked, no idea why the oppoforums one did not.
I am now rooted. Now I just need adb drivers for Win10 so I can try my hack from the N3 to get rid of the automounting driver CD

twrp-recovery from Oppo R7(f) (same hardware) works for me.

Just install TWRP for R7 (it works on R5s) and use SuperSU from https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip.

Can someone help me out? Got the R5s, flash via fastboot twrp, flashed worked but would not boot to recovery. Flashed older version same issue won't boot. Flashed stock recovery img from the Oppo fourms and that won't boot either. Any help would be wonderful.

I used this APK that roots it using the stock recovery somehow.

For my R5 I use Oppo Tools which is more handy since you can flash recovery img files also

TWRP for R7f worked fine for me.
Now I need to try and find out if that Chinese wmjan person has done a modded stock recovery same as they did for R5 and N3

I've commented an issue on GitHub, maybe it would help identifying the problem.

Please in an adb shell on your device running stock ROM do
cat /proc/oppoVersion/prjVersion
And yes you can yank together prebuilt dt.img but thats not really a solution
for official TWRP since it need to be built all from source then.

It says:
Code:
14005
So I guess OppoId on the R5 and R5s are the same, strange :/
