Oppo Find 7a can't get recovery, can't factory reset.

[romiust]

I'm hoping someone can help. I upgraded to AOSP 5.0.2 on official oppo forum from color os. I no longer have the ability to boot into recovery. I tried factory reset. All that happens is phone reboots to normal. I have unified storage, but can't push apps to sd card. Phone works perfectly. But I can't return to color OS. Oppo forums are mess and haven't been able to help me. I tried downloading abd installer but my computer thinks it's a virus or something. Using abd might be out of my league anyway. Maybe I shouldn't have played around with flashing but since it was officially oppo rom I figured it would work as advertised. Any help would be appreciated!

Search for "TWRP for OPPO Find 7" on Google. Install it on your phone and use the recovery mode to install your color OS instead of using ADB. Only use ADB if you brick your phone...

I'd have to root to get twrp. I just did that. I have twrp. Will try install.

CWM should work equally well...

Got recovery with team win, still can't flash any zips as they won't move or copy. I don't clockwork has recovery for find 7a. Still stuck with no working Recovery. I guess I'll hand this over to a computer guy.

You may need to have it plugged into your computer and move freshly downloaded ROM to the storage of your phone then only flash it...
