Information ROM

This is a special message for the Wizzin Lucateles on some parts of this thread. I left the files on this site because I know that many can benefit from them. Anyone has access to them and to me, the fact of placing the origin is irrelevant, since any file on the internet becomes all. Big hug to the community BLU Life Play Brazil on FB and my dear colleague [MENTION=5372881]andreh.kamp[/MENTION] (André Kampmann) that has people discussing great advances in our device. :D

I want to clarify a question that everyone ask me by PM.

Yes, this is the original ROM, or was removed from my device after it has been removed from the box. Nothing was changed in it. :p

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Este é um recado especial para o Wizzin Lucateles sobre algumas partes deste thread. Eu deixei os arquivos neste site por que sei que muitos podem se beneficiar deles. Qualquer pessoa tem acesso a eles e para mim, o fato de colocar a procedência é irrelevante, já que qualquer arquivo na internet se torna de todos. Grande abraço para a comunidade BLU Life Play no FB Brasil e ao meu querido colega [MENTION=5372881]andreh.kamp[/MENTION] (André Kampmann) que tem pessoas discutindo grandes avanços para o nosso dispositivo. :D

Quero esclarecer uma dúvida que todos me perguntam por PM.

Sim, esta é a ROM original, ou seja, foi retirada do meu aparelho após ele ter sido retirado da caixa. Nada foi mudado nela. :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lopestom:
I have MIUI ported to BLU Life Play. The ROM is behaving in 95% and still needs tweaking. :)

The sounds are working and have 2.5GB memory ROM. As soon as possible I can and most of the system working, I will upload it for you. :D

Trying to root Allview Viper V1

Install drivers on win7, everything works fine, phone is ON, connected by USB cable to PC OK, ADB interface load it OK in device manager,

When I run the "run.bat" command I have something as following:

[*]

[*] Motochopper: Android root exploit (Windows version)

[*] v1.0

[*] by Dan Rosenberg (@djrbliss)

[*]

[*] Tested on the Motorola Razr HD, Razr M, Razr Maxx HD, and Atrix HD.

Also this, when I run the "adb device" command :

What this means "the device is offline" ? I think this is the problem. How can I put the device online?

Any advice? Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lopestom:
In Win7, you clicked run.bat with left mouse button and did "run as administrator"?

Another reference to the ROOT with images at this link: ROOT MT6589
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dancrow:
I did it with ""run as administrator "".

Do you think the offline status is ok? Shouldn't be online instead?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] lopestom:
I know your problem by [MENTION=5372881]andreh.kamp[/MENTION] the FB group BLP. And so far what you have said in your comment is very vague. Detail so that I can have an idea. Example:

1 - When restored the stock ROM by CWM of your colleague, you put some app or copy apps?

2 - What did you do after you restored?

3 - Even doing nothing, absolutely nothing, after restoration, giving the message you tried to update?

4 - If upgraded, the message still appears?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eu sei do seu problema pelo André [MENTION=5372881]andreh.kamp[/MENTION] do grupo do FB BLP. E até agora o que você tem dito em seus comentários é muito vago. Detalhe mais para que eu possa ter uma ideia. Por exemplo:

1- Quando restaurou a ROM stock pelo CWM do seu colega, você colocou algum app ou cópia de apps?

2- O que você fez depois que restaurou?

3- Mesmo não fazendo nada, absolutamente nada, após a restauração, dando a mensagem, você tentou atualizar?

4- Se atualizou, ainda aparece a mensagem?

*Não há problema se escrever no idioma portugues_BR, desde que também coloque no idioma inglês.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cauan Dick:
1- A primeira vez que reiniciei ele nao mostrou o aviso, mas na segunda em diante sim. Nada foi alterado, so reinicei algumas vezes para constatar o aviso.

2- Nada.

3- Positivo, na primeira vez nao mostra o aviso, mas depois que reinicio uma vez continua mostrando.

4- Mesmo atualizando continua aparecendo.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lopestom:
Só peço que coloque o comentário em ingles, afinal algum moderador do xda pode te avisar sobre colocar em ingles tb.

Vamos a algumas tentativas.

Copie o conteudo do seu cartao sd para o seu PC. Depois disso, formate pelo android, tanto o sdcard interno, qto o externo. Reinicie e me dê um retorno.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I only ask that you put the comment in English, after some xda moderator can warn you about putting in English too.

Let a few tries.

Copy the contents of your sd card for your PC. After that, format the android, sdcard both the internal and the external. Restart and give me feedback.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cauan Dick:
I did that, formated sd card and formated phone and I had the same message. I don't know what is that, I don't imagine, because this is occurring with me. I tried many many many method and all failed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lopestom:
Isso é intrigante. Não é capaz que algo como o software faça isso em qualquer backup que você colocar, ou seja, tem algo de errado alem disso?!

Depois de ter formatado, você restaurou o backup CWM que o colega fez pra você? E ainda assim tem a mesma mensagem?

Fez as operações de wipe reset factory, wipe cache e wipe davilk cache?

Se a resposta for sim, a última possibilidade é usar o SPFT pra "limpar" o que o seu telefone tem e colocar a ROM que deixei no post#2.

Se mesmo assim a mensagem persistir, então é problema de incompatibilidade de algum hardware defeituoso.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is intriguing. Not able to do something like this in any software that you put up, or something's wrong besides that?!

After formatted, you restored the CWM backup that fellow did to you? And still have the same message?

You make the options wipe reset factory, wipe cache and wipe davilk cache?

If the answer is yes, the last possibility is to use the spft to "clean up" your phone has the ROM and place I left in post # 2.

If the message still persists, then it is incompatibility issue with some hardware defect.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cauan Dick:
I didn't flash the backup after format sdcard and storage phone, I think it will get the same message. basically what the SPFT do? Thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lopestom:
SPFT will wipe all ROM the device has and puts the backup I did with the ROM that I removed from my device. This was done after removing the device from its box/packaging.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cauan Dick:
Do you think should I obtain warranty or try this method? I'm afraid of to brick my phone trying this method.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lopestom:
Quando se tem todos os backups possíveis e um CWM, não há o que temer em brickar o telefone, afinal foi pra isso que eu deixei aqui os backups possíveis exatamente para "reviver" o telefone. Se você tem medo, mas tem a garantia para te auxiliar, tudo é uma escolha pessoal meu caro.............. faça o que melhor lhe convier.

*Você fez os wipes??

---------------------------------------------------------------

When you have all possible backups and CWM, there is nothing to fear in brick the phone. If you are afraid, but you are guaranteed to assist you, everything is a personal choice my dear .............. do what is best for you.

*You make wipes??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cauan Dick:
Thanks for your attention. This method is complicated and it is not guaranteed that will work. Unfortunately once again I will have to contact the store where I bought it.

l100A

Hey guys i just odered this phone yesterday and im thinkling of rooting it to swap the internnal and external storage with the volds.stab. However i got the L100A version not the l100i, will this root exploit still work on it or not
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lopestom:
A very important tip to first step: MAKE NOW BACKUP OF YOUR ROM!

This thread is for any model of BLU Life Play -->>>> L100i and also L100a. So I chose not to write the model "a" or "i" at the end.

A note for your adventure in making foolish: "the swap internnal and external storage with the volds.stab".

Before any action, put CWMv6 and then you must execute the backup files from your phone. Be alert to any problems.

:eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidfine16:
So it will work, what doe you mean about the "foolishswapping"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lopestom:
Replacing the internal storage by external can have problems. See all reports that there are about JB4.2 and that you're trying to do.

Even so, I recommend doing all possible backups.

I have nothing against change "vold", but check all the information it is best to make any decisions and observe the solutions. I know it's your choice and even then I can only suggest you to be warned / forewarned / prevented.

blu life view recovery

This route method works for the life view but recovery does not. Can anyone come up with a recovery that will work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] scottdanpor:
Just wondering if you're still working on this or is there another source for MIUI on Blu life play? I saw your comments in the GIONEE E3 thread. My new phone is ordered and on the way!

I'm not asking for an ETA, just curious.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lopestom:
Yes, ROOT is for all MT6589.

I do not know about recoveryCWM for the BLU Life View. I know that phones are different and that the CWM is unique for each device . I have helped many to have CWM for appliance itself and if you need it contact me in PM.

Okay.

This is a coincidence . Yesterday I wrote for user E3 about this. So I'll just update the information . I released a version for 3 users BLU BETA Testers . So , I have a version more stable. Then wait a little longer . I do not know how it will be on other devices. But I want to make the best possible . Then I will not support this . I will not upgrade .

fly q4410 ROM --> Blu Life Play? See the images in ATTACH FILES........:p

I did this long before in 19-07. But I did very carefully.

Blu Life Play --> fly q4410 ROM?

Your device has which frequency for 3G? 850/1900/2100?

To use the frequency 2100 L100I. If it is 1900, I do not have the files for L100a.

I prefer that you try putting the ROM BLP for a backup made by CWM. I added this in the 1st post.

But if you prefer use SPFT in both of cases/options, NOT SELECT these files: PRELOADER - MBR.

You should be careful with the files in SPFT because it can brick your device!

BLP-->FLY q4410

Thank u very much!!! It has been indeed a good news for me. The main reason why I want to flash FLy ROM is to get Russian Lang, unless there is a different way to do it.

My 3G frequency 2100. Phone model BLU L100i.

If I understood you correctly I have to back up my rom first and then use SPFT to flash FLY ROM without preloader preloader MBA selected?

Any chance that u might have a step by step guide?

Thank u once again!!!!!!!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] lopestom:
If you want you can just find the language files that have the ROM FLY Q4410. If you do not know how to do this, I can not help you right now.

Yes, you should have CWMv6 placed on your device and make your own backup. Copy this backup on your PC.

The step by step in CWM:

- Select "backup and restore";

Must have space on sdcard to be able to backup

- Select "backup"

Go back --->>> reboot system.

When the device restarts, connect to your PC and see a folder in sdcard. example: clockworkmod\backup\2013-09-14.11.09.30.

Copy all folders "clockworkmod" for your PC.

You made a backup of the stock boot.img. Is it safe to flash it through adb? I tried to flash it from CWM but it aborted the install. I just want to know I won't brick the phone.

If you had trouble or did something he should not with the system, use these files to try to "revive" your device:

LIFE PLAY_boot.zip (4.9MB) -----------------LIFE PLAY_system.zip (346.6 MB)

In that boot.zip there is the boot.img - I have a green splash screen from the iNfinity rom that won't go away. I have restored my backup I made the moment I got CWM installed, the turkish/crescent green splash screen is still there. I want to return it ALL to stock.

That video is correct. Though the only developer option I see is USB debugging! Click on the build number and it will say "You are now a developer".
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sparkly81:
Yes! the only developer option is USB debugging, it's weird :eek:

Since the android ICS 4.0.4 ROMs do not come with all the more options of USB Debugging. For this, we have another app. Install this and see if this is what you're looking for?

- If you want to put modem.img?

- If you want to flash only system?

- Just want to make a backup of your ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] saintextreme97:
I have the modem. I want to know if I can just flash the system zip you have on the op .then place the modem image after it is flashed.

I need to fix the file. I discovered a wrong command line No installation file. So it will give an error when flashing.

I would like to wait until the weekend and then I'll make a zipflashable for your device. I will contact you via PM.

Or if you prefer, just take the restore in #1 by CWM (clockworkmod) and flash. After that, you can put the modem.img in the correct folder (\system\etc\firmware) then you should put the permissions correct.

Shouldn't there be a secro.img included in the recovery? Every time I try to flash it I get an error because of that missing file. It is included in the script, but the file isnt there.

SEC_RO.img file is for each user. This file is a secret place on the phone where no one can touch him. Otherwise it may ruin part of the telephony service.

Scatter in the file is left there by default so much time. Do not think I have left it unchecked. This must be so, unless you really need.

If you need, let me know and why you want this file.

Now my question is. Is there a way to increase the internal memory for apps??

I remember having a phone which default internal memory (4gb rom) was 500mb for apps and 2gb for internal sd storage, but, there was this mod that made it have 2,5gb for apps and 40mb for internal storage which is what i would love to do on this new phone.

Thanks in advance for any answer you can have :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lopestom:
Yes there is. Look here on xda about Phone Storage. But remember that there is a size limit of the system. In the forums about it they say about each limit different internal memories.

I prefer to increase the external memory sdcard more than take risks.

Thank you! I've found this

But its seems to be for Micromax Canvas. Does the EBR applies for any mtk6589 phone??

Also, about what you said, I've read about that method that makes part of your sd, somehow merge with the internal storage for app right? Does that one have less risk then??

Thank you so much for your help again :D
