Thanks for the help guys! I purchased the chinese version of this phone and, as i mentioned earlier, it is running 4.1.1. I rooted the phone using a simple root process that only required me to flash a file in recovery...Right now I am just wondering exactly how I should install gapps...I've done my research and in some places found that if one uses an incorrect version of gapps it can cause problems with the phone. I downloaded jb 20120831 (I think it's the right version for this phone?) and now just need some simple directions as to how I should install it without any problems or risk of bricking my phone...any help is much appreciated =) Thanks!

1st update to international firmware here [ gapps included inside ] : http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/find-5-beta-firmware-x909en_13_130206.563/
Then..
Follow this to root : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37745240&postcount=35
Would it also be okay to just flash a .zip file of gapps in recovery mode?
I've always lost the ability to receive OTA's when I root, someone was saying in another forum that I will still receive OTA updates with a rooted Find 5. Can anyone confirm this?

wasn't able to root with the Casual .jar (even with the replacement adb.exe plus PdaNet drivers)... got the error that root was unsuccessful at the end
eventually, had to manually use the adb.exe to push the insecure bootimage, then manually adb push the su and Superuser.apk to the device
root stayed on device after I wiped it
the System Updater app still works (no new updates yet, so can't test if a full OTA update will work)

Reading Drivers from Ubuntu
So I have adb installed and I am using Ubuntu but when I run casual it will not connect. I am new at using Ubuntu is there a libusb command I should be running to get the device to connect? When I run adb devices it shows up blank. Can someone help me with getting it connected in ubuntu?

a) did you turn on USB debugging on the device
b) OP linked an adb.exe replacement for Windows machines ( I had to do this trick to get it working on windows)... maybe it's a similar problems for ubuntu?
Yes I do have Debugging on I am going to try to adb into fastboot manually then try to run it see if that works
BTW I am not sure where this .exe is that you referenced this is a cross platform executable JAR package so you can use it on WIN/LIN/MAC

had to use the adb.exe binary for windows found here
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37751226&postcount=37
it is a JAR package, but contains OS-specific binaries
btw, Oppo released kernel source

Just updated the first post. This now includes a recovery and I bumped the CASUAL up from R280 something to R416 There are alot of improvements.
Great work! I think I should've done the root with a full battery, as now my stats are reset, and I have 100% charge on a previously 5% remaining...
I have a bug on mac os x mountain lion:

Root was sucessful! Please reboot your device to get out of insecure mode. You are now rooted!
doneI don't have the log anymore then. I've already rooted the phone on this way:
Flash TWRP recovery
Flash zip with recovery: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21558454/find5_root_clean.zip
Restart and done!

33Introduction
Here's a one-click root method for the Oppo Find 5. You can find source here: https://code.google.com/p/android-casual/source/browse/#svn/trunk/GUI/src/SCRIPTS
The way this works is it will reboot your device into fastboot, boot a kernel, inject root and SuperSU(available on Android Market), set permissions, test itself and let you know if it passed or failed.
CASUAL also provides an unroot option to remove root permissions. This can also be done from within SuperSu.
Instructions
- Open CASUAL with JAVA. Do you have Java?
- Select which script you want (root or recovery_
- Click the do-it button
All scripts in CASUAL are automated. Simply click the button and it will "do it". If you are a windows user, please ensure you are using proper drivers.

Thanks to Justin Case for whippin' up a unsecure kernel before I could do it.
TWRP comes from kamma's thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2147999
About CASUAL
CASUAL stands for Cross-platform ADB Scripting, Univeral Android Loader. CASUAL jar files are a wrapper for the CASUAL scripting language. CASUAL allows rapid and accurate deployment of hacks and exploits. CASUAL allows for automatic updating of its scripts via pushes to the SVN server at android-casual.googlecode.com. While I expect no problems at all, if at any time a serious problem is detected with the script, i can flip a kill switch to shut CASUAL downand you will be brought to a support page.... most likely here. This is intended to add a level of security so that you know this will be safe.3Just updated the first post. This now includes a recovery and I bumped the CASUAL up from R280 something to R416 There are alot of improvements.2If anyone on Windows is having problems... i have a potential solution. please try this.
Download this file: http://d-h.st/em7
rename "adbx-1031-stripped-windows.exe" to "adb.exe"
open the CASUAL jar file with WinZip or equivalent.
navigate to CASUAL/resources/ADB in the jar.
Replace adb.exe with the downloaded "adb.exe"
run CASUAL again.
let me know if this works or not.2International firmware released:
http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/find-5-beta-firmware-x909en_13_130206.563/#post-10744
I suppose, CASUAL also works with it, right?2EDIT :actually, info better posted on a separate thread (as this thread is for rooting the phone)
