Update

Download the update I posted on rapid-share

{**rapidshare**.com/files/21...20130521.zip}

(just remove the asterix)

Then follow these instructions, to get to recovery mode I don't know if your phone will be the same; you could always try.

1. Drag the update zip folder to your sd card from your computer.

2. after its on the sd card turn off your phone then

3. hold the power button and the volume down button until you get to the recovery screen.

4. select apply update from sd card then when everything is done installing turn off your device one more time and hold the power and volume button and select factory reset.

if you dont do a factory reset after you install the update then the google play store and anything from google wont work.

so make sure you do a factory reset after the update is done.

Hope that works
[General Questions and Answers] AlphaMack:
Found this thread from GSM Arena and applied the update. Thank you flickpiston for posting. It's a start in getting these phones some dev love.

With that said, about 24h have passed since flashing the update and this ROM is not much better than the original that shipped. I still experience frequent FCs, freezes requiring battery pulls, and battery drain. But hey, at least Google Play Services finally installs like it's supposed to.

Unfortunately, this ROM still has BLU's hands all over it considering there are some dialogs in Engrish just like the factory ROM.

I rooted using another guide translated from Brazilian Portuguese and applied the V6 Supercharger and it has somewhat helped with the lag. I'm going back and forth between the 512 balanced and aggressive settings.

Let's hope we can get a real recovery on this phone soon. And a proper ICS/JB port.
[General Questions and Answers] flickpiston:
I found out that the XOLO A500 is extremely identical to the BLU Dash 4.0 and they have a CWM recovery that i tried and it worked when i flashed it, but when i turn off the device and try to go into recovery a second time it takes me into the stock recovery instead of CWM recovery. I don't know why it does that
[General Questions and Answers] AlphaMack:
Yeah, going by the specs it seems that the Dash 4.0 is a rebadged Xolo A500.

On another note, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I have finally tamed the lagging and crashiness of this ROM using zepplinrox's V6 supercharger and KAK scripts. Specifically I switched back to the 512HP balanced settings, enabled the Nitro Lag Nullifier, fixed permissions, and wiped the dalvik cache. The KAK script has everything enabled except for I/O scheduling since I don't want to risk bootlooping without a proper nandroid.

Finally, consider downloading No Frills or some other CPU manager. For some reason the cfq scheduler is the default; I switched it to noop. Also you have the choice of using the interactive governor; this also cuts down on lag at the cost of more battery.
[General Questions and Answers] flickpiston:
Thanks for the info it really does help. Till now i didnt know about supercharger or KAK scripts. I see improvements :) . I think the best thing to do right now till the development starts on this phone is to try and find compatible phone that already have developments for them and see if they work, because a custom rom would be nice.
[General Questions and Answers] nhh1994:
Thank you for your conduct :) I downloaded your rom but I downloaded from dev-host host because the host Rapidshare very glimmering. I think some friends in a thread for my phone in my country have contacted with some people who also using BLU Dash 4.0 and get the rom from them. That's maybe you, guy ;) I also don't know :D . I will try update your rom later. :D

Back to the main subject, as I know, your phone(BLu dash 4.0), my phone (Q-smart S20), Xolo 500, Cherry Burst S280 and Gsmart R1, they are running on 3.0.21-perf Kernel Version and the same hardware like: ram, cpu, os,....., so I think they can use the rom of each other, I have tried with all but the rom of Gsmart R1 does not detect SDcard on my phone, others run well. :( And now i am using this rom of blue dash 4.0 and satisfied it. In forum in my country, we have a thread with collective rom as i told, if you want to try those roms, i can share. :fingers-crossed: Sorry for my bad English. :D
[General Questions and Answers] nhh1994:
Something went wrong when I had tried to update this rom. :( My friend is trying researching more. In this zip pack, we found that it has many files *.enc, it doesn't like any zip packs which we have flashed.
[General Questions and Answers] AlphaMack:
I am happy to report that I have finally stabilized this ROM to the best possible degree. Scratch that, no I didn't. But the following HAS cut the lag. Forgive me if I repeat myself from previous posts but here are the steps I took in hopes that others can duplicate and confirm:

1. Root using this guide and use Google Translate. You will need the Android SDK, the script in the OP, and the Qualcomm driver linked further down in the thread.

2. Install Busybox from Google Play.

3. Optional: Install Koush's Superuser as SuperSU has been bad news in my experience especially if you wipe caches.

4. Grab the latest Supercharger script. You will need to carefully follow the instructions. You MUST patch services.jar as explained in the thread. I suggest using the balanced settings for 512 MB but of course you're free to use any of the 512 options. You should also try using the Nitro Lag Nullifier.

5. Optional: Grab the Kickass Kernelizer script. DO NOT include I/O tweaks.

Caveats:

TiBu freezes the phone if you try to backup the system apps. Backup your user apps and data. I'm still trying to find a way around this.

HEY MAN could you make a CUSTOM ROM AND UPLOAD, because its difficult to me to do all that you said... i want to eliminate the lag

About your rom, my friends have just updated it successfully, one guy use my phone's stock recovery and another use Blu's CWM to flash. I saw the difference in Hardware version between your phone and my phone after updating your rom, do you know why?
[General Questions and Answers] flickpiston:
The Galaxy S4 doesnt really work for my phone the touch screen is off, but I've tried both xolo's and I'm using the CMICS then I will try the Rom_Gold. Also I would really like to know the difference.

Thanks :)
[General Questions and Answers] nhh1994:
No, guy, :D I also don't know about that difference so I ask you. :D

About your rom, I have just update it successfully via Blu's recovery, not success on my phone's recovery, are you using other recovery, guy? I really like this rom, have you tried installing the Gsmart Rio R1's rom? I like both but prefer to Blu. :D
[General Questions and Answers] flickpiston:
I really dont know :(, what phone are you using? AlsoI've tried the Gsmart Rio R1 and it was in a different language so i went back to stock BLU ROM I'm using V6 supercharger like AlphaMack suggested. It's not bad:good:
[General Questions and Answers] nhh1994:
Yes, Blu's rom is the best rom I have ever used, my phone is Q-smart S20, you can find it on Google.What is your native language? I'm Vietnamese and I must accept use the rom which doesn't have Vietnamese, my friend is suggesting make Vietnamese for this rom, it has a instruction on the internet but i haven't had time to do. :D

After install your new rom, I met some problems about my PC-sync software with my phone, it doesn't detect my phone when I plug USB cable (mass storage is properly well), I often connect successfully before. Do you have the Blu's drivers, guy? :D
[General Questions and Answers] flickpiston:
Easy fix my friend.You can watch this video here(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5W2BC7O8J4). The instructions are in english so im sorry if its hard for you to understand. I followed this and it worked with me.
[General Questions and Answers] nhh1994:
Thank you for your help but after restarting my PC, it works properly, I think that my PC-sync software had some mad problems, not ADB :silly: . Can you tell me why you have the update of this rom, my friend? Does your warranty center share? In my country, my friends take the phone to warranty center, the center also install for them a new update stock rom but when they ask staff for sharing, staff in warranty center said that they didn't share the update stock rom, my friends back up it and take it to us for restoring via CWM, that the way we have the stock rom update of our phone. :)
[General Questions and Answers] flickpiston:
Yes they sent it to me. They say they will support us till android 4.1.1. After that I think we need to start making custom ROMs or switch to a different phone.
[General Questions and Answers] reaper2012:
how can you take the capture screen, with a app or manually?
[General Questions and Answers] flickpiston:
Hold the volume down button and the power button until it takes a picture.
[General Questions and Answers] nhh1994:
Great! It's very good to update it to 4.1.1, we'll discovery more. When they have a update of this rom, could you share it on this thread, my friend? I really like using Blu's Rom. :good: :)
[General Questions and Answers] flickpiston:
I will. I hope they release the update soon.
[General Questions and Answers] AlphaMack:
The ROM they sent you is such a piece of crap out of the box that a custom ROM will be a much welcomed option.

I'm not holding my breath that the 4.1 update will be any better.
[General Questions and Answers] nhh1994:
Thank you, my friend! I also hope they release the update soon. :cowboy:

I have had the blu dash 4 and let me say not bad at all. But it does become slow and sometimes needs a reboot. I gave the firmware update a try and it is faster but still gets slow.

Just wonder under system menu why root does not work if you turn it on.
[General Questions and Answers] nhh1994:
Which the way do you root? And what do you turn on? I don't clearly understand what you say, I may help you something if I understand clearer. :P
[General Questions and Answers] schoolls:
You are goallout at GSMARENA ?
[General Questions and Answers] AlphaMack:
Guys, I'm seriously losing patience with this phone and I'm not sure what else I can do to fix it short of hoping for a custom ROM.

Out of the box the phone was horribly unstable and would freeze several times a day for no apparent reason. Apps would also constantly FC and freeze. Factory resets did NOT help at all. Desperate, I rooted and tried the V6 supercharger script which did help cut down the lag. However, I still continued to experience FCs and freezes.

I tried the updated ROM flickpiston generously provided and unfortunately I'm still experiencing FCs and freezes, even after being sure to thoroughly wipe data and caches prior to flashing. Again, the V6 supercharger has helped to cut the lag.

Here is what I have done to no avail:

- Switched the governor to interactive scaling and the scheduler to noop from cfq.

- Installed Busybox 1.21.0

- V6/KAK scripts

BLU is completely useless as far as support. Before I rooted, I tried to get help only to be referred to my distributor who doesn't know jack about what they sell. So no support = might as well root and take it into my own hands. Unfortunately, what has improved after rooting with my retired devices isn't translating over to this phone.
[General Questions and Answers] nhh1994:
What did you try to get help? It's impossible to get help for rooting from distributor, they don't want their device be rooted, and the cellphone will not be warrantied if it's rooted in my country, sorry for my bad English and if I	misapprehend you mean.

I don't see any problems in that forum, guy.:D Have you had any problems with the Blu Dash 4.0, guy? I'll help if I can.:fingers-crossed:
[General Questions and Answers] AlphaMack:
I tried to get support before I rooted. I was told that the warranty is only for the distributors and not end users like ourselves.

Besides, flashing the update provided by flickpiston wipes root access anyway and you have to go through the process again.

I have met this problem when I updated Blu's Rom, guy. :) Maybe you're asking right place. :) Did you update it via Blu's stock recovery or others CWM,guy? Before I updated this rom successfully, I have updated fail because I was using another CWM, not Blu's stock recovery, then my friend said the rom must be updated via Blu's stock recovery, I tried updating it again via Blu's stock recovery and success, so you can try with Blu's stock recovery.

Good luck, guy! :cowboy:

[General Questions and Answers] nhh1994:
Ok, guy, this is Blu Dash 4.0's stock recovery, I will post it here for everybody who also need : http://d-h.st/JYo

About rooting, I also contribute a way which I think it very easy, by using an app, name "Siêu root" (mean "Super root" in English), I tested it on my phone which is running Blu's rom and successfully. You can try that app: http://www.mediafire.com/download/36zxj2ffzc4jwft/sieu-root.apk

How to use:

- Install the app

- In the first line: Choose an option: - Cài đặt Superuser (Install superuser)

- Cài đặt SuperSu (Install SuperSu)

- Tắt root (Unroot)

- Then choose Gandalf and wait 1, 2 sec, if notification show faller is not successfully. If success, phone will ask you reboot (Khởi động lại) and after rebooting, Superuser or superSu should appear in the menu. Sorry because this app is in Vietnamese. You can make a tutorial by your way, I just contribute more a way. Good luck, guy! :)

Does anyone have the English CWM? The link is broken and the only one I've been able to find is in Chinese. Worse, the screenshot translating the menu options do not match the version available for download.

Here you are, guy, it is Eng CWM and it works well: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7N-XHierCuYRVdBOE1WWnZqb1U/edit
[General Questions and Answers] AlphaMack:
Works great...except it doesn't stick across reboots with the BLU ROM. My guess is that there is something that checks for a modified recovery and overwrites it with the stock one. Not that it matters because I decided to give the TeamBURST ROM a try AND CWM gave me the option to disable overwriting the recovery upon flashing. :good: EDIT: No, this is bad. Don't do this.

So far so good. I haven't had any stability problems to speak of unlike the stock BLU ROM. However, I recommend the V6 supercharger once again due to lag. EDIT: This was because I disabled flash recovery and in turn that disabled the init.d scripts which were needed for some magic to happen. Solve this by wiping everything but data then flashing the ROM directly over your existing setup.

Thanks once again guys. I was seriously ready to make my phone experience gravity out of frustration because of BLU's shoddy and buggy ROMs.
[General Questions and Answers] AlphaMack:
I've been running TeamBurst Mk3 for a few days now; this ROM is ridiculously stable. My phone has yet to FC, crash, or freeze. Just be sure to keep CWM from disabling recovery flash; you'll want the init.d scripts to do their magic.

Throw in zepplinrox's V6 Supercharger and KickAssKernel tweaks and this ROM screams on my Dash.
