  1. Double-check your "About Phone" screen. Are you sure it says Opposite?
  2. If it says Oppo F3, go to the XDA Legacy Device section before the forum archives are deleted.
  3. If the update fails, remember: XDA is a community. Ask politely in the "Q&A" section, not the "Development" section.

OP (Original Poster) Update: The thread has gained significant attention, with over 1000 posts and counting. Users are advised to share their experiences and provide feedback to help bring attention to the issue.

Step 1: Locate the Firmware Search XDA for "Oppo F3 CPH1509EX_11_A.22" (that is the final Nougat build). Look for a user named "OppoFirm" or "KacperSkrzynecki" – they maintained legacy Oppo threads.
