I recently bought a refurbished Oppo A72.
I wish to instal Magisk on it before I use it as my regular phone.
I need to find the correct boot.img.
The current build number is CPH2067_11_C.74, auto updated to Android 11.
i have searched the support.oppo.com/software-update websites ( /nl and /es ) and downloaded their updates, but the files provided are named CPH2059_11_A.50 and .54, dated first and 30th of December last year. Their contents are dated 27 March 2019.
Now I find there is little difference between the Oppo A72/CPH2067 and the Oppo A92/CPH2059. One has Gorilla glass, one has FM Radio, and one has Near Field comms, so I can understand the software would hardly be diffirent.
Can anyone give me guidance on this, please
Postscript: When I unzip them, and diff their contents, plenty of differences show up in the binaries.

Hi All.
This question may seem trivial, and I've searched high and low for an answer but couldn't find one.
I have an Oppo R7g. This is running ColorOS version 2.1.0i and on android version 5.1.1.
In short I would like to install the Marshmallow release of android onto the phone, in effect replacing ColorOS. I have managed to Root my phone using the Oppotools and now I am looking around for the ROM. But I can't seem to find one.
I was surprised that there wasn't a release from Google that I could use. When googling for this I found the below link that links to factory images for nexus devices. It seemed like there was a different image per version for each device. This isn't what I expected. When I want to install windows or Ubuntu on my laptop I dont need to seek a particular version for my specific build of laptop. Is this different for phones?
What would happen if I took the latest Nexus 5X image and put it on my phone Oppo R7?
Thanks
Will
So here's the thing. An exploit dated back at around 2006 was discovered recently that potentially gave the user access to write on read-only files in the system. Google has only patched it recently in the latest November 2016 security update. Since Samsung couldn't bother to update us past the August 2015 update, there's a strong possibility for temp-root here.
Here are some links for further investigation:

2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/security/dirty-cow-t3484879
3. https://github.com/timwr/CVE-2016-5195
I'll see what I can do, but anyone who bothers to read this, please share this to developers and ask for their help. Thanks for reading.
Hi Everyone,
The title says it all: I own a Leagoo T5c running a SpreadTrum SoC, the SC9853i-IA, and so far, I've been able to flash a new ROM once, one still based on Nougat that was released in March of 2018, and a quick trip to the manufacturer's website informed me that it was the latest stable release as Leagoo recognizes it.
(Granted, there are newer ROMs on NeedRom, but a) I don't know where they come from (meaning, I'm not sure they're clean), and b) you've got to pay to download them)
Hence my question: do any of you know of newer ROMs based on either Oreo or (let's go crazy!) Pie? If the answer's yes, then where can I find them? I've Googled the subject and got nowhere.

Can try Evercoss U6A / Panasonic Eluga Ray 800's firmware since it uses same processor.
I found this phone oreo sc9853i but can not found firmware link. Any one can give me link this firmware.

I have an OPPO smartphone which I want to make changes i.e. rooting, upgrading to Android Pie but OPPO is not developer friendly( I regret buying it)?.. Fortunately, OPPO has stock rom downloadable from their site. Unfortunately though, the version of the rom that is downloadable from their site is far behind the current version of my phone. What I am planning to do is, when a new update is available, download it and patch it myself so It will be accepted during upgrading from recovery. My question is, is it possible? the stock rom comes in ozip file but I am able to edit its contents using zarchiver. I hope anyone can help. Thank You
An update.zip ( AKA OTA ) must contain an updater script, too, what is parsed and processed by Revovery function. In current case it would be your task to create it.
I have an app that does not work after Android 8 that I need and there is no replacement in 9 or above. I managed to avoid updating my v30 to v9 and later for a year or so. It accidentally allowed the update to 9 this past weekend while I was camping. All I want to do is roll back to stock v8 or 8.1 (Oreo).
I have enough tech knowledge to follow directions and understand rooting but am having a really hard time finding the "right directions." As I was reading some of them, I found caveats like, "Use X unless you have the delta update and then use Y but not if you want to run Z. For Z, you have to follow this other thread." I also know that using the wrong settings or data file could brick the phone.
So, I'm hoping someone can help me narrow down what sets of directions I need to follow.
Here's what I have right now:
LG V30 (VS996) On Verizon Network
Developer Options Enabled
Android V9
Security Patch Level August 1, 2019
Kernel Version: 4.4.153
Build #: PKQ1.190414.001
Software version: VS99630c
Again, all I want to do is roll back to stock v8 or 8.1 (Oreo).
Bonus would also be a way to stop asking me every day to update or delay a day and just wait until I manually do it.
Thx in advance!!
Download the right firmware file for your device from here -

Follow the instructions on both the pages. I think you can take it from here.
Note that implied with this process is that you cannot downgrade your firmware without wiping the phone... there's no way to "patch" back to the old version. So, be sure to take backups FIRST.
If you're rooted on the old firmware, you can then disable/freeze/delete the update APKs so that the update warning goes away. But this requires root, so be aware of that. If you don't haven't rooted already, then this is a process of its own, and will require you to go back to Nougat in order to perform that, so you may want to do that before installing the final version of the ROM you want. You can find out how to do this rooting process on the WTF thread, post #193, located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ar-instructions.3790500/page-10#post-76584629
If you don't want to root, that's fine, but then you must endure the update warning process... unless you can find another way to disable the update APKs.
Thank you both. I expected to wipe the phone so that's not an issue. I will first install Nougat, root and then update to Oreo.
There are about 14 Oreo ROMs on that site. Do I just pick the latest one or do I have to pick the earliest one and update that?
Pick the latest one.
