Rooting your Oppo N1 allows you to install root-only apps, flash custom recoveries, flash custom ROMs and do a lot more that you can’t do with an unrooted device.

I. Before You Begin:

1. This will void the warranty of your device. However, you can reinstate the warranty by unrooting your device if there’s any unrooting procedure available.

II. Downloading Required Files:

1. Oppown APK (It’s attached in the first post)

2. Fastboot

III. Rooting the Oppo N1:

1. Download and place both the files onto your Desktop.

2. Extract files from Fastboot archive over to your Desktop. You should get adb.exe and a few other files.

3. Enable the Unknown sources option on your device by heading to Menu>>Settings>>Security>>Unknown sources.

4. Plug in your device to your PC using the USB cable.

5. Copy the Oppown APK you downloaded earlier over to the root of your SD card.

6. Once it’s been copied, unplug your device from your PC.

7. Open the File Manager app on your device and install the APK you just copied to your device.

8. Once the app’s been installed, launch it from your App Drawer.

9. After launching the app, wait for about a minute (it’s rooting your device in background).

10. Once it’s done, head over to the Google Play and download and install the SuperSU app on your device.

11. Turn ON the USB debugging option on your device by heading to Menu>>Settings>>Developer options>>USB debugging.

12. Connect your device to your PC once again.

13. Open a Command Prompt Window on your Desktop. To do that, hold down the Shift button and right-click on any blank area on your screen and select Open command window here.

14. Type in following command into the Command Prompt Window:

adb uninstall com.qualcomm.privinit

15. Once it’s done, reboot your device.
