What Can I Do To Oppo F5 Stuck In Recovery Mode Bootloop? by ThaThinka(op): 9:07am On Jan 14
I got this "foreign used" Oppo F5 phone that came with malware which got my WhatsApp hacked. The phone was intended for WhatsApp use. Therefore, I tried to update the firmware to the latest version via the recovery mode in an attempt to get rid of the malware.

The update was successful and I then clicked on "Reboot." But instead of booting normally, the phone showed a message that storage was damaged - even though I never saw such a message before then. So, I restarted the phone. That's how it started bootlooping to recovery mode without success.

Once it gets to the Oppo "powered by Android" screen, it will go off and restart again endlessly. I have to press all buttons together to power it off. (The text at the bottom-left of the screen is "Recovery Mode"wink.

Does anyone have an idea of anything that can be done to resolve this, please?

Thanks. But I am not sure flashing will resolve this. The bootloop in recovery mode won't even let a PC fully load the phone.

I already took it to a phone repairer around here. He had no idea. And I believe he should know about flashing.

Those OPPO phone malwares are very though to resolve. I think the new Whatsapp business works fine with the 2FAcode. I've not tried normal whatsapp. But if you're able to get it back to its original stage, go and change your message center number to something very wrong. With that, it permanently blocks SMS messages from entering the phone to prevent the secret whatsapp hack. And another thing, NEVER use the SIM you registered whatsapp with inside the phone. It will be automatically hacked. Na me and those Saudi guys digger am that time till I just converted the phone to a secondary device.

At where, please?

I already stated that a phone repairer I took it to could not fix it. He even took it to a nearby colleague since there were many of them in the area. And, of course, they had computers there that they use for work.

This is not software issue, to solve it, find phone engineer to disconnect the volume flex or remove it totally, come back and post the results

Okay, thanks.

But with what I saw the last time, I don't feel so optimistic going back to those guys.

Those guys were too destructive and probably clueless. You needed to see how the main guy was tearing the protective material that covered the phone's battery, which has no issue at all. I was just thinking to myself: how's this going to solve the issue? cheesy

If I may ask, what should happen if the volume flex is removed or disconnected?

Follow this instruction, my OPPO had that similar issue yesterday. The challenge am facing now is that it is requesting for lock screen password. If I input my password, it's showing wrong password. Please is flashing the only option to this?
