Hi everyone. I bought this Find 7 today in hopes that I could get it running. The previous owner apparently went to flash cm11 and he soft bricked it. The phone will power on to the start screen the the screen stays black and goes on and off. I can get to fastboot but not recovery. I have read in the oppo forums that I need to push the stock recovery too it but am unfamiliar with fastboot.. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I got it to boot up following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/help/bricked-7-t2897376. Then I went to wipe it and I'm back where I started. The Msm Downloader is japanese so I don't understand what half of it means. Must have been a fluke it booted up.
I got it to boot up again. I'm not sure what I should do with it next. There is no recovery installed.
If you can get to fastboot, download a recovery, navigate to that recovery, use
fastboot flash recovery x.img
Where x is the name of the file. Hold down power and volume down until phone vibrates, and you should be in recovery

Thank you for the response. I have been trying to do that. I have the recovery.img downloaded but I can't seem to get it to my phone. I'm not all that familiar with fastboot and adb.

Which recovery are you trying to install??? OPPO stock recovery or other custom recoveries like TWRP??
By the way, as long as you can get into fastboot, everything is fixable, just a matter of how long it takes

You can place the .img file anywhere you want, but you just have to specify the path and name of the recovery image on the fastboot flash command. For example: fastboot flash recovery C:\openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-find7.img (this is if you put the recovery image in the root directory of C drive)

Try: fastboot oem unlock
I don't know if this will works directly since you probably don't have the OPPO driver and i'm not sure if you need it. By the way this method will wipe everything on the phone but i assume you don't have anything on the phone yet anyway :silly:

You need to flash a new recovery I think,
I think touch is supported with TWRP 2.5 or 2.6, or philz touch recovery.
I believe that if you flash the new TWRP over the old one, your backups are safe and touch is restored.

There are no RUU's ..
Best thing to do is to get your recovery working.
Are you sure that after you flashed the recovery you did:
fastboot erase cache
and are you sure your phone is international?

boot.img refers to the actual boot.img you have so you need the correct path to it.
or simple do:
fastboot flash boot (then drag on the boot.img file) 'return'

The first boot, does take some time....
Or go into recovery do a factory reset and reinstall rom, you can mount usb from recovery to if you need to copy the rom.zip onto the phone.
This is my first HTC device so I apologize if this is a dumb question. I unlocked my One last night via the HTC Dev site last night. Everything went ok. So my question is am I also rooted or do I need to do another step?
Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I'm new to the HTC one, and I made a mistake. I accidentally formatted my device, the sdcard, firmware, and data, and I'm unable to mount the sdcard and data. I have clockworkmod recovery installed, and the bootloader unlocked, but I'm unable to do much else. When I attempt to flash a rom using sideloader, the screen will just reboot several times. I tried two different roms, CyanogenMod and Stock Rom, by either installing through sideloader or adb, but again, I can't see my SD card. I need help.
How can I fix my phone at this point? I'd be okay with either Stock Rom or CyanogenMod, I just need my phone working.
Please give a newbie a hand guys.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know, but maybe try loading this by following the directions. Maybe you formatted the actual OS completely? This will get you to CM and then from there hopefully flash again
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_m7vzw
Also, try rebooting JUST the recovery, because then your SD shows up again.

Can you walk us through your steps of sideloading? Wondering if you're doing it correctly.
Also, you should reflash the recovery so that you're 100% positive it is for the VZW One.

Sure, I boot into recovery and use the command adb sideload "zip file here" and get the loading progess percentage and then it loads on my phone, yet it doesn't work right. Also, for some reason, my phone's bootloader has "relocked" when I know for a fact I avoided that command for fear of ruining my chances to fix the phone, now if I attempt to flash recovery to double check, I'm told its not allowed and it fails.

Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!
The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot

The RUU flashes stock recovery. You can skip the first portion (ADB shell) and the last (write secure flag) in the instructions above.
Basically, just start at

Hello,
I am having trouble installing any custom recovery..
In fastboot mode, I open CMD and use the command "flash recovery twrp.img". All says SUCCESSFUL.
I go to reboot using volume+ and power to get into the recovery however it sends me straight to fastboot again. I've tried all available recoveries on XDA made for the SE.
Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?
I have unlocked my SE successfully.
I also have no problem using MiFlash to update to the latest official MIUI.
There's a high chance I've missed something in these threads but it's hard to find specific answers.
Appreciate any answers, thank you.

Hello,
I am having trouble installing any custom recovery..
In fastboot mode, I open CMD and use the command "flash recovery twrp.img". All says SUCCESSFUL.

Yes, have done this and it flashes (says flashing and then says successful in cmd fastboot console).
Problem is it does NOT boot to recovery afterwards, it always reverts to fastboot. Anyone know a fix?
Thanks!
