Decision by Oppo: No Bootloader/Fastboot access for Oppo Phones starting 2016
I was surprised to not find this information in any of the forums.
This is why I'm posting this thread to prevent further confusion and future xda-enthusiastic "Phone Buyers" from Oppo's decision.
Oppo has of this year decided to "lock the access to its Bootloader".
By "access" i mean no way to access it with "adb reboot fastboot" and "adb reboot bootloader" and any "Bootup Button combination".
Its not only hitting new phones but also old phones.
All the latest ColorOS Firmwares will prevent you from accessing the Bootloader.
All Project Spectrum alpha/beta's for OLD and NEW phones will prevent you from accessing the Bootloader.
If you are using a custom rom and want to try out any of the above stock roms. Be !WARNED! you will lose access to the Bootloader!
They not only removed the access to the Bootloader but also removed the "fastboot binarys" itself.
If by chance you are able to access the Bootloader and want to use fastboot commands. All commands will result in "FAILED (remote: unknown command)"
I noticed this and raised questions in the official Oppo forum:
this is the official reply:
I hope this helps enthusiastic users in their "phone choice".
For me access to the Bootloader and having fastboot commands are on top of the list when it comes to choosing a new phone.
