[Android General] CVAngelo:
Then I'm not totally clear on what is happening with your phone. When you say it is stuck in "Android is upgrading...", is it going through the full count of apps and THEN getting stuck? Or is it stuck before it even optimizes a single app? How many apps is it saying it will optimize? This process can take several minutes. I've had situations where the optimization process gets stuck in the middle...just reboot until it finishes the optimization count.

Otherwise, you are going to have to describe to us the exact steps you are taking to flash the ROM. There's no way we can help figure out the problem unless we know exactly what you did to get to this point. So describe each step you took from the beginning. It's the only way to tell what went wrong.
[Android General] Sv3tki6:
Ok, I will simplify it as much as possible:

1. I've installed the proper drivers for BLU Life One L120

2. I've rooted the phone with Kingo Root successfully

3. I've installed cwrp recovery for Micromax Canvas 4 A210

4. I flashed the custom ROM "Lollipop_Themed_A210_FSadino" which also should work on BLU Life One L120 (before that i wipe dalvik, wiped cache and made even factory reset/data on my second try....)

5. Every time the rom is flashing successfully and the boot animation is showing as normal it says afterwards "Android is upgrading, starting optimizing apps from 1 to 126 (i think they were 126 or something similar..)" they are upgrading also successfully (through the full count) and then i am waiting for more than 15 mins for home screen to show as it should.... but nothing changes, it just stucks there....

I hope i've explained it detailed. If you need more answers, please ask me addition questions so i can do my best and answer them.

P.S I've tried with different roms too, same situation as this one... or not getting even to "android is upgrading.."
[Android General] CVAngelo:
Yup, that's absolutely clear and seems to be flawless in the execution...except, what version of Gapps are you flashing and where are you getting it from? Or does the ROM already have Gapps included (which would be unusual).

And, I've also got to ask if flashing those ROMs onto an actual Micromax Canvas 4 A210 has the same end result, or is it just when you flash to the BLU L120?
[Android General] Sv3tki6:
Hmm, I believe that Gapps are included already, I couldn't find specific information regarding them... but as soon as you asked me if they weren't there I would download them from here - http://opengapps.org/

And here is the actual thread for the specific ROM which I am trying to flash - http://xdaforums.com/canvas-4/development/rom-lollipop-themed-rom-21-03-2015-t3060344

Regarding your second question, no I haven't tried it actually on Micromax Canvas 4 A120 just because i don't have one :laugh:
[Android General] CVAngelo:
Read that entire thread and there was just one mention about Play Store. So probably a good bet that gapps are included. That and the fact that the ROM is based on the A250.

Anyway, one thing that I didn't see in the instructions for flashing the ROM was no requirement that you format the system partition too, before flashing the ROM. And no factory reset after flashing the ROM. Maybe you could try both and see if makes any difference.
[Android General] Sv3tki6:
Again, unsuccessful :(

I've tried it already..

blu life one stuck on android logo with red exclamation sign

Hi i was using my phone last night it froze up on me so i pulled the battery to restart it then when i powerd up back the phone it was stuck in a bootloop so i try to boot it in recovery mode and ive been on the android logo with red exclamation sign from last nite with no options to factory rest the phone or anything... Need some help please thank you..
[Android General] CVAngelo:
Once you get to the Android with red exclamation point you ARE in recovery mode my friend. You have to press the power button to get to the recovery menu! Once you select an option, to execute that option varies from one BLU model to the next. On some BLUs, you hit the power button to execute, on some others you hit the up volume to execute, yet others require that you press the menu hard-button on the bottom left (next to the "Home" button).

If you are taken back to the Android with the red exclamation, it simply means the button you hit to execute the menu item is not the correct button. Just hit the power button again to go back to the recovery button and try again. I don't know why BLU makes things so complicated. Probably because they have a dozen different companies manufacturing the phones for their brand. Lol
[Android General] tommymsw:
So I rooted, then unrooted to get the update, then rooted again. Now there is another update and I need to flash the stock image to get my phone back to stock (I even still have the stock image I used last time on my phone) but I do not remember how I flashed it last time! I am an idiot! Pleas help? :)
[Android General] CVAngelo:
You don't need to flash the ENTIRE stock image to do an OTA, my friend. Just flash the stock recovery image and the stock boot image if they are not stock. If you never flashed a custom recovery or a custom kernel, and you're fully unrooted, then you simply need to install the new update!

If your system is not fully stock and not fully unrooted, then the update will check and tell you that you're not stock...BEFORE it attempts to install. It will fail. And your phone will reboot to the state you left it in before the OTA.

Now, what did you root with? Hopefully, SuperSu from Chainfire? Just open the SuperSu app, go to the bottom and select Fully Unroot. Then after you reboot, you're goodbye to go.
[Android General] tommymsw:
The firrt time I rooted was with SuperSu and selecting "unroot" did unroot me, but the update still failed. I had to flash the stock rom (I just forgot how I did it... I think with a program I put on my PC). The second time I rooted was with Kingo (only one that worked for my phone) and the "unroot" unrooted my phone, but again, the update fails to install. I get "BluHelp.odex has unexpected contents." Same error I got the time before.
[Android General] CVAngelo:
I don't know that Kingo can do a FULL unroot and leave the system partition in stock condition. That's the problem.

There are lots of online tutorials that can show you how to use SP Flash Tool (SPFT) to flash a stock ROM onto your phone. First you have to search online for the stock ROM and download it. Check needrom.com as it has a number of BLU stock ROMs as well as the SPFT for downloading. Or just use Google to find your ROM.

Just a word of advice for the future. USE SPFT TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR STOCK ROM. You'll never regret having a backup of your stock ROM. But you will always regret not having one because in the world of flashing and rooting Android devices, something EVENTUALLY will go wrong. And you'll need that backup.
[Android General] anamous90:
Will any of the root methods listed work for Blu Life One XL? I am using windows 10. Thanks.
[Android General] tommymsw:
Yea, I have a backup of my stock rom. That is what I used the LAST time I did this. I just don't remember how I did it! lol. I can't use the (SPFT) because my stock rom does not have a "scatter file". In fact is contains NO .txt files. It is mostly disk image files. I know somehow last time I used software connected to my PC, but it just had the phone flash the rom from recovery (as I had to put it on my SD card). But if I try to flash it from recovery, I get an error "BluHelp.odex has unexpected contents."
[Android General] Deejaydark:
Can u send me a copy of your stock backup please
[Android General] Mantoi:
Does any of you has a Recovery working? I had the TWRP here in the 1st page but is not working (Is not booting into recovery, just skipped it) :(
[Android General] CVAngelo:
Do you have the exact same model of Life One as the one for which this thread was written? There are several BLU devices which are called Life One but which are actually completely different.

Another possibility may be that you need a patched kernel in order to run the custom recovery.
[Android General] Mantoi:
I do have it! Blu Life one X (L120) MediaTek 6589 Chipset as Micromax canvas 4 a210... However, I had bricked yesterday. . .
[Android General] Mantoi:
I have realize that my phone was not the same that this thread was talking about. I have recovered it from brick now installing everthing as usual.

Cheers.-
[Android General] CVAngelo:
Glad you were able to recover! What was the exact model of your device and how did you you unbrick? That information may be helpful to other readdrs who may have the same problem. Please share.
[Android General] Mantoi:
Exact model: Blu Life One X L132L

How to unbrick: Install MTK 65xx Preloader Drivers, Sp Flash Tool and get the BLU RECOVER ROM from: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/acvipg7x9za6c/Life#puwfvuehjqr6b (The links are from Blu Development Team)

Disconnect the battery (You will have to unmount the cellphone) and then select all the files one by one. As a suggestion, try to have all the files on the C:\ disk.

After doing that you can continue playing with the phone.

I'm currently using a MIUI rom ported for MicroCanvax Turbo 4 a250 which is working perfectly on my phone.

Best,

Hi guys,

I'm having a small issue with my current phone and headphones. The problem is that headphones and phone have no problem with higher output volume. Temporary solution - speaker boost, trouble is: it causes any equaliser to FC.

TL;DR & point of my question

How can I increase the volume at kernel level? If that's not possible then rom level would be enough. No apps, just pure source changes please.

Hey guys, I am going to a two night concert in Miami this weekend and was going through my previous concert videos to make space for the new ones I will presumably take.

I noticed that the bass distortion is horrible, rendering about half my videos useless and the rest just bearable.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice about this problem... Maybe an app that records concerts well? Or covering the microphone physically during recording to pad the bass a bit? I have no clue, am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audiomixman:
If there's an app you can find to control the input volume gain, perhaps it would help. The "auto-gain" is being over driven by the high decibel levels at the concerts. The gain to the microphone (the "input level") needs to be very low if you can find a way to do it.

Okay, so I just got my (i9500) device and binary status back to official after rooting my phone, dual booting, using various modules etc. in expectations that 4.3 is going to be released officially in the next 3-4 days.

Now, it seems like 4.3 firmwares come with a Knox-like feature called Warranty Bit.

My question is :

Is it worth upgrading to 4.3 at the risk of losing your Warranty forever (because face it, I am going to root it and flash things)?

I couldn't care less abt the new features, I'll be switching over to an AOSP ROM when a stable one comes out.

At 4.2.2, there's an almost complete possibility for me to revert to Official status IF anything goes wrong, but at 4.3 there's no chance at all.
