Find 7a won't boot to recovery, not recognised in USB at all

Hi all,

I'm turning to forums now because I'm desperately in need of help.

I have an Oppo Find 7a which I bought about 9 months ago. When I first got it I tried flashing Cyanogenmod to it (unsuccessfully), and then tried rooting the phone. I have since unrooted the phone, and am running Color OS v 1.2.5i and really really need to update. Problem is, I cannot seem to update the operating system. Here's what happens:

Phone fails to boot to recovery
In my attempts to install Cyanogenmod, I installed a custom recovery. However I couldn't get Cyanogenmod to flash properly, so I tried reverting to the stock recovery. Did that, which seemed to work fine. However, since rooting and unrooting my phone, I cannot boot into reocovery at all. When turning off the phone and then pressing power+volume down to try and boot in, the "OPPO" logo comes up as if trying to boot into recovery, then the phone just turns off and boots into normal OS. Have tried many things but can't seem to get into recovery at all. This means that when an OS update is detected (which it is), the phone tries to reboot into recovery to install the update and cannot. So I'm stuck on a very buggy OS and can't do anything to update. Before you suggest adb+fastboot solutions, please read below:

Phone not recognised in PC at all
When plugging the phone into a PC via usb cable literally nothing happens (aside from the phone detecting it is charging). The phone does not mount as a volume in Windows, the phone is not detected as a device in device manager, as far as the computer is concerned, the phone is not even there. I have tried having the phone plugged in and installing all the proper adb drivers, but this has still yielded no results. And yes USB debugging is definitely enabled on the phone. I don't know why, but for some reason I literally cannot plug my phone into a PC anymore which limits me a LOT in terms of fixing the problem above.



Basically I really need to update the OS on this phone and am compeltely stuck: nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me out here. What do I need to do?? Any help is greatly appreciated.
