nope. un-rooting is very easy with OPO, just open SuperSU > settings > select full unroot.

No root is needed to flash using signed fastboot package. You just need to unlock the bootloader.

FYI, China version OPO comes with Color OS by default. Reseller like DirectD / SevenMobile unlock their bootloader and flash CM11s then relock the bootloader back. So question about warranty void for unlocking bootloader....you get the idea

lol yeah. if run the fastboot oem device-info command, confirm will get:

<bootloader> Device tampered: true
<bootloader> Device unlocked: false

what they tokok rooting will void warranty

ah i think based from his original post, just do Factory Reset first instead of going thru the hassle of fastboot... seriously, i'm pretty sure he's confused as hell right now and screw something up. he probably will even have issues installing the drivers. so, factory reset please.

Because maker doesn't want their buyer / user/ owner tampered with the system inside

Once they saw rooted / tampered flag they can just assume "oh this user tampered and violate the Terms and Condition" and warranty void them instantly when RMA

but he did also stated that some of the chinese apps cant be uninstalled, i.e. it was installed as system apps. a factory reset wouldnt help.

if he is near kepong, i would help him out to clean flash cm11s on his phone. just bring a notebook with wifi, thats all needed to help him

I told him to fastboot flashing for pure clean CM11s installation without going through custom recovery and such.

I know is abit hassle but at least he doesn't need to think like "oh what is TWRP? What is CWM?"

they use toolkit. i highly doubt they will make effort to flash cm11s via fastboot

i dont know abt other resellers, but the one i bought from said rooted OPO are covered in the warranty.

if he understand or know how to do it. doesnt matter which way you tell him, as long as he get it working. no issues for me.

but since he needs to backup his stuff anyway and unlock bootloader will wipe the things, why dont he Factory Reset first. if its working than yay! no need to fastboot, etc etc. else just use fastboot as an extended step. whats there to lose anyway. he will end up wiping his device in either both ways.

Yeah, reseller usually want fast and they use toolkit to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery then use the premade rom and flash using custom recovery.

I remember my set inside storage contain a rom package from CM11 nightly zip folder

GAHHH, this reply alone has set my decision to attempt rooting. report back to you guys when I am done!

an OPO without root is like a sheriff without a gun

lol i sent my Galaxy Nexus with AOKP rom inside to Samsung with Official warranty. Got it back nicely no prob.

but what if he have a gun but dun shoot? or dun even know how to shoot some more.

get xxdesire to train him and be his target practice

Last time Samsung warranty was quite loose

I wouldn't be so sure about now Samsung phones with KNOX on it

hey guys,

didn't know we have ver 8 already! last I login we were at ver 6 haha. nice to see more and more OPO users

Anyway not sure if this question has been asked before, but what camera app do you guys use/recommend?

I'm quite disappointed with the stock camera app. Slow shutter and somehow pictures are not as clear as it should be.

Last time I recall someone flashing LG's stock camera on OPO.

Hax.

err... initiated fastboot oem unlock... now OPO stuck in fastboot mode logo, lolwut?

make sure your pc recognized your opo
download the CM11s 33R from as mentioned in the guide
proceed to flash CM11s 33R
