The meteos tool does not work on the OPPO R819, it bricks the phone requiring flashing of the stock ROM with the flash tool. Just a warning to the R819 users, as this has been already tried 2 months ago.

Hmm, I may try it, I do have the complete recovery package for the OPPO R819 if it bricks but not sure when.

Hi,

Are you sure you used the 6589 meteos tool. Probably you would have used the 657X tool and that will brick your phone. I did that myself too and did not realise it. Try it with the 6589 meteos tool and check if its sucessful and let me know the outcome.

I cannot confirm because it was not me that tried it. A forum member in the OPPO forums did it and he told me, also he gave me the recovery tools he got from their support, including the necessary drivers, OPPO specially modified SP-Flash tool and the ROM.

Also, the OPPO R819 only has TWRP, in the Meteos thread CMW is refered as required, not sure if that plays a role.

If I want to follow your tutorial, should I root first my phone or not?
Thanks.

Rooting is irrelevant for this guide, possesion of the SP-Flash tools and the necessary ROM package is all you really need.

In that case try it out using this trick. It might help.

You will need rooted phone.

I was looking at the EBR files of another guide here in XDA for the A116 and there seems to be a difference there, the changed value in EBR2 at the 01cc offeset, they changed the first digit, while on this tutorial here the second diggit is changed. Could this indicate different parition schemes? If OPPO also has different partitions, perhaps that is why the Meteos app killed the R819. The R819 has 16GB of ROM, most other MTK6589 have up to 8GB.

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

To be sure: These are the mount points of the OPPO R819:

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx root     root              1970-01-01 00:00 [email protected] -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
lrwxrwxrwx root     root              1970-01-01 00:00 [email protected] -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
lrwxrwxrwx root     root              1970-01-01 00:00 [email protected] -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
lrwxrwxrwx root     root              1970-01-01 00:00 [email protected] -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
lrwxrwxrwx root     root              1970-01-01 00:00 [email protected]_f -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
lrwxrwxrwx root     root              1970-01-01 00:00 [email protected]_s -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

lrwxrwxrwx root     root              1970-01-01 00:00 [email protected] -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p7

And the mount points:

Code:

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 on /cache type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 on /sdcard type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 on /and-sec type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 on /system type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 on /data type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 on /system type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 on /data type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)

This mount point is same as in Micromax C2+ which i used to increase the apps storage ,Hence it will work on OPPO R819
