Have you already followed our guide on how to root the Oppo Find 5 Mini device and are now looking to flash a custom recovery image before flashing a custom ROM? If so, we have the guide below that will teach you how to do that. The custom recovery we are flashing is the ClockworkMod recovery–the most popular custom recovery on the world.

REQUIREMENTS

You should have already rooted your Find 5 Mini device.

You should only flash the file below on the Find 5 Mini variant of the phone and not the original full-sized phone. They are completely different and need unique files.

Verify the model number matches up with R827 by navigating to Settings > About Device from the phone.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

You must download the Oppo USB Drivers. You can get those quickly by visiting our page.

You should allow the USB Debugging Mode permissions from the Developer Options menu on your handset. That way you are connecting to the computer. without any issues.

Flashing a recovery that isn’t stock does void the warranty. Most of you already have that problem since you should be rooted before flashing the recovery. You can unroot the Find 5 Mini and that will make the warranty work again for this device.

1. Download the ClockworkMod recovery file you need here to the desktop of the computer.

2. Plug the Find 5 Mini into the computer via USB cable.

3. Copy and paste the CWM file from the desktop over to the internal SD card storage on the phone.

6. Tap the option “recovery update”.
