Hello

I bought a new Oppo A5 2020 and want to recovery my Titnaium Backups.
I search now 8-10 Hours to find a solution to root my phone, but no tutorial works.

I want to root my phone with Magisk and the right boot.img but i found only this file:
CPH1931_11_A.08_190905_cb4610de.ofp

I can not extract the ofp without some hardware parts.

Has anyone a idea how to root the Oppo A 2020 CPH1931
(CPH1931EX_11_A.08)
(CPH1931EX_11_A.13) <<- now aviable

Thank u so much

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]

Can more people (mainly the ones who allrdy did comment in this thread) confirm method 3 is working?
I updated to CPH1931EX_11_A.28. Do i need a patched boot.img of CPH1931EX_11_A.28 or can i use any boot.img of all versions?
I wanted to know if the boot.img for all versions is the same.

Is your OPPO A5 2020 rooted now

i dont know how u've managed it. i can boot into fastboot, using vol down + power buttons or using adb reboot bootloader. can u tell me how to boot into fastboot?

Do i understand, you did try method 3 using the boot.img provided in the link?
You were able to patch the boot.img with magisk?
Did you flash the patched boot.img to phone successfully? If so, its safe to use the boot.img provided in the link?
Are you rooted now?

I really need root in order to get boldbeast call recording working properly with pie 9.

Ok, i tried to get in fastboot mode with command adb reboot bootloader. I do get the fastboot logo screen for a second, but then it just loading the OS pie 9, like someone stated here before. I read in some sources, OPPO company disabled the fastboot mode for this phone, so you will not able to flash files using adb. I also read power + volume down = recovery mode (working) and power + volume up = fastboot mode (not working because company disabled this).

I use firmware CPH1931EX_11_A.28. Now the big question: does somebody know, if some older version of firmware has fastboot not disabled by company?
Seems for now, you can only root this phone by using hardware tools like miracle box and easy jtag pro.

I wanted to know if the boot.img for all versions is the same.

I also using CPH1931EX_11_A.28 and have exact same bootloader problem.
I manage to extract boot.img from 11_A.13 and 11_A.28 firmwares using "ubuntu ozip to zip" and files appear identical and patched successfully using Magisk. The boot.img provided in the link is not the same, I wouldn't use it.
Did you find out if some older version of firmware has fastboot not disabled by company?
Many thanks for taking time to read reply.

Still no luck. Fastboot is disabled.

    Typo

    Read the instructions carefully it's vol up

    That has to be a typo, because for the OPPO A5 2020 its powerbutton + volume down
