Guys do any of you use the xl with Tmobile us? Im considering buying it but not sure for LTE.

Thanks
[Android General] ken1645:
Anyone go for this? I'm curious, just got this phone today and it is interesting to say the least..
[Android General] red_29A:
help mme please !

So I was able to root a stock studio energy with kingoroot on the pc, flash twrp 2.8.4 and use that to get a marshmallow rom going.

Not sure what the best rom is yet, but so far marshmallow seems way faster and smoother than kit kat.
[Android General] 4josh2u:
Hey is there any problems with that is that cm13
[Android General] red_29A:
Yeah, cm13 never saw my sim card so I didn't keep it around too long, sadly

Checking out some of the official roms now
[Android General] dilacerated:
I've been out of the loop for a while --> are there "official" Marshmallow roms out there for the Gionee M3/BLU Studio Energy? I'm on the current 5.0.2 build BLU sent out and it is only bearable thanks to Link2SD and OC'ing to 747MHz minimum/using Deadline via ROM Toolbox. Wish I could use F2FS.
[Android General] jabe78:
So for anyone interested in "Upgrading" your 20+ month old Studio Energy to some more current and appealing ROMs. It is true that you can Flash Roms for Gionee M3, if you do it right. I am currently running a Marshmallow 6.0.1 version of AOSP called "Resurrection Remix" using Kernel 3.4.67. I got this, and a handful of other ROMs form here.

Follow these steps precisely to achieve a successful flash to these custom ROMs. For American D810u devices, if you flash these Roms, you will loose 4G (which is not LTE) capabilities because its missing the 1700 baseband. However there is a patch that was created some time back that if flashed correctly, will enable 3G (H+) baseband.

Note: depending on which ROM you are flashing, you may need to be running either a KitKat kernel or a Lollipop kernel prior to flashing. I believe these Roms specify which one you NEED to have before attempting this.

Step 1: Make sure the Zip files for the Rom, Gapps, and the patch file located on this thread Post# 91 are all located on your devices internal memory (remove external SD card before flashing)

Step 2: Using TWRP 2.8.4.0, make sure you are mounted to the devices internal SD card, do a factory reset ( wipe data, cache, dalvik).

Step 3: Flash the new ROM, Gapps, and the patch file, then wipe the cache and dalvik, and reboot system.

Give the device 5 minutes or so to boot the first time. You will find that your device is running a Gionee KitKat, Lollipop, or Marshmallow Rom that also has our american baseband so 3G will work. Have fun with the new ROMs!!
[Android General] 4josh2u:
Hey I also have resurrection remix but it says my baseband version and imei is unknown and I can't get the sims to work do you have the same issue if not how'd you get the sim to work
[Android General] jabe78:
You must flash the zip I mentioned after you flash the ROM and Gapps. After you flash all three, then do a cache/Dalvik wipe and then reboot to system. You will have 3G as soon as it loads. And it will recognize your Sim.
[Android General] jabe78:
So a neat update for everyone still using our Studio ENERGY.

I seem to have successfully ported Beanstalk 6.18 (Marshmallow 6.0.1) to our device. After days of filtering thru tutorials, and many mistakes, it has flashed and has loaded up. Will update you on how it's doing. in a few days i will post a link for this new ROM if anyone desires.

THis is exciting for me!

Looking for TWRP v3 for BLU Energy Studio with support OTG...

I'm aware of the TWRP v2.8.4 for BLU Energy Studio, but looking for v3 (with otg support). Did anyone try either of these:

http://www.blu-dev.com/factory-images-recovery (the BLU Energy X Plus)

OR: https://gionee-m3dev.net/2016/03/twrp-30-for-lollipop.html

Hello , I know this an old thread but after researching on my own I need some help

1 .Can I use this TWRP recovery image using SP Flashtool to install TWRP on my blu Energy running lollipop 5.02?

2. after installing, can use it to install supersu from TWRP recovery mode and gain root access?

3. is there maybe any other goot TWRP image for lollipop if this is not the one to use, Can someone point me out to it? thanks

I am asking this because the only root app I had tried is KINGOROOT and it failed both windows and android app.

I am reluctant to try KingRoot. or any other app.

Thanks in advance.
[Android General] stormy1777:
yes, that is easly possible. I do it with v2.8.4, but the one u posted work as well. I'm looking for v3 twrp which has the otg support, but not sure it is made for energy studio.
[Android General] 71033:
Well Thanks for the reply , I just sent you a PM with a link to a OTG TWRP for the Energy. not sure if it works.

I used PM because I cant post urls yet. Sorry
[Android General] stormy1777:
I think my links are not removed, this is the one you posted: http://www.aryk.tech/2016/07/download-twrp-recovery-for-blu-studio.html?m=1

proposing to be TWRP 3.0, but clicking on the download link goes to the 2.8.4.. if you don't care about OTG support just go with the 2.8.*..

We may find the (real) 3.0 one day :)

Thanks for trying to help!!

Thanks for creating this official thread for us Energy owners. I just wanted to confirmed that I was able to do a restore with the image "Stock ROM MTKDroid Backup BLU_D810I_V07_GENERIC 2014-12-19" . Unzipped and copied to my SDCARD at \TWRP\M3\ and did a restore from TWRP. Just a note that this image is already rooted with kingoroot.

Does anyone have a backup of BLU_D810l_V09? thanks!

Let me clarify...TWRP

Let me clarify. I am collaborating with gdlin to successfully build a TWRP recovery specifically for our device, (not Gionee M3). It wouldn't be "Official" yet, until it gets added to the TWRP build list and they begin supporting it. However, I imagine it may be some time before we are there.

strange screen on incoming call

I have a new blu studio energy with android 4.4.2 no root

when I receive a phone call, the screen looks totally different from what I'm used in other devices (screenshot attached)

1- to answer, swipe down. to reject call swipe up

2- BUT, if I want to send quick sms to the caller I have to swipe aside and only then appears the option to send message (longer process)

a- can I configure my phone app to have "send sms" on the main screen?

b- alternatively, can I change the app? installing dialer app didn't change the incoming calls app...

thanks

[Android General] AlaskaTHPS:
modem driver

I've tried Lexer2 and Samui(Samsung) ROMs and they make the studio energy fast and actually worthwhile phone.

The ROMs for the Gionee M3 work great for us. The main problem I've run into is getting 4g working with these ROMs.

Does anyone know anything about getting this working? I think it might just be the modem firmware that needs to be copied across, or flashed. Has anyone done this? I would be really interested if anyone knows much about this. I'm also wondering if SystemUI will need to be modified and recompiled to get 4g working or if it just the modem firmware/driver.

As of right now, I would rather use a quick ROM without 4g then the laggy stock one with 4g.
[Android General] Edibulho:
I have tried almost all the roms.

Only Ravi's roms have this problem. I can only make 2g to work.
[Android General] AlaskaTHPS:
I just went into 3g settings and selected 3g only. 2g/3g is set by default.

Im actually about to restore the original stock firmware and copy the baseband and modem firmware file and see if it changes anything.

/system/etc/firmware/modem_1_wg_n.img

/system/etc/mddb/"Baseband file"

I'll let you all know if this does anything.
[Android General] AlaskaTHPS:
OK. So I upgraded my baseband and modem firmware on Lexer2 with blu energy stock firmware. Its up and working and its newer firmware.

So if the H+ by the signal bars mean hspa+, then that's actually the same thing as 4g.

So it looks like these M3 ROMs support 4g, but they just display it as H+ and don't show the 4g settings in the mobile config.
[Android General] Edibulho:
If I choose 3G only, the connection disappear.

Maybe you fix that problem.

Hi,

I have an BLu Studio Energy and my double tap to wake screen doesn't work anymore (although still marked in the options)

I changed my launcher to nova and deleted the old one (rooted phone). Could this be the problem? Any solutions?

thanks in advance

EDIT: got it to work again
[Android General] gdlin:
Hi guys, sorry for the delay, I've been really sick.

I'll be uploading the recoveries, I'm doing a final test, and then I'll upload it.

To those who say that they have 4G support, do you see the actual 4G icon? Since I'm using the default ROM since I bought the phone and it always worked on H+ (I'm not sure if they're actually the same thing).

[MENTION=6106189]naiaddd[/MENTION] How did you get it to work? Since I have the same issue, and I also am using Nova Launcher.
[Android General] gdlin:
Hi guys,

I've updated to the latest BLU release, by restoring the stock recovery, then unrooting the phone, wiped it and then applied the update.

DON'T DO IT !! I don't know why, but I couldn't flash a custom recovery with flashify, and had problems restoring files with titanium backup. I guess there's some problem with ROOT. I wiped it several times and rooted it again but the problem persists.

I'll wait for the lollipop release to upgrade the firmware.
[Android General] naiaddd:
[MENTION=929890]gdlin[/MENTION]

In setting I unchecked the box from the double tap and turned off the gestures restarted the phone and put the gestures back on + the double tap and from than it worked perfectely again. I even deleted the original launcher again. The double tap to wake up was the only thing that wasn't working for a while. turning the phone to snooze the alarm worked all the time..
[Android General] Moynia:
Any guide on how to get TWRP for the BLU? I cant seem to find anything anywhere on how to get it.
[Android General] gdlin:
check on the 3rd or 4th post that there are instructions for flashing a rom. The same goes for flashing a recovery, but you only need to check "RECOVERY" on the list, and uncheck anything else.

beware that the recovery only works up to KitKat, it doesn't work with lollipop.
[Android General] jabe78:
So do we have a viable stable Lollipop ROM?
[Android General] gdlin:
Yes and no. The Gionee rom works great but it hasn't got much space for apps, so it's stable but you can't install much stuff. Myself and other members of the community are trying to figure out how to increase such size, since the traditional methods wont work.

Need help with D810U

Hi! Thanks for your decent and detailed instruction:D However, I get some trouble when try to flash ROM.

1. I used the TWRP backup for D810U. When I try to restore using TWRP, error pop out"unable to find file system(first period)","unknown restore method for '/sec_ro'"

2. So I try to flash the Gionee ROM with SPFD with download method. Can't do it with error "PMT has changed".

3. At the end I have to flash D810L Stock with SPFD. But like you said, D810L doesn't support 1700 frequency. This is the only one that actually work with no error.

So I think there is 2 way to flash a rom that support D810U frequency, :

1. Flash D810U stock with TWRP, but I don't know how to fix the error "unknown restore method for '/sec_ro'"

2. Replace the D810L modem with D810U, since I can flash the D810L modem. But I am a newbie. Can you show me how to replace the modems?
[Android General] yycool0302:

HELP-ME

My BLU Studio Energy is stuck in a boot loop after trying to install the suggested wireless update. I chose to install the update and it never got out of the boot loop.

After start up it goes to an "Android system recover <3e> BLU_D810l_V09_GENERIC menu. The menu choices are:

reboot system now

apply update from ADB

apply update from scdcard

apply update from sdcard2

apply update from cache

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

backup user data

restore user data

I've tried to wipe cache partition followed by wipe data/factory reset. Every time I tell it to reboot it just comes back to this same screen.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Android General] jabe78:
This worked well! Restored to unrooted original Rom, and it updated as well. This version doesn't seem as laggy either, in my opinion. Think I will hang out here on this ROM, till official Lollipop update comes out.
[Android General] Alex gomes:
as you did the procedure because my phone not accepting this restoration?

is to explain to me please.
[Android General] jabe78:
Post #4 explains how to do it.. I followed those instructions to the letter.

The ROM backup found here:

clicknupload.com/lvgnzsje09yz

Is what I used. Download it and unzip the file. Then use the SP flash tool to select the scatter file. Then click download, and then connect your powered down phone via USB to your computer (running sp flash tool). At this point it should find your phone and flash the backup. Once the green check mark is seen, you may unplug and restart your phone.

It worked flawlessly for me. Hope it helps. Provide updates and let us know. :)
[Android General] Raguna163:

I've flashed the stock ROM, and the radio is stuck being off. Is there a way to fix this in engineer mode or some repair tool?

EDIT: I'll explain in more detail

I'm getting a no sim detected error even when other ROMs could at least tell me I had a SIM, but an invalid IMEI.

I am unable to use AT commands with the wonderful warning "AT command is failed to send"

My mobile networks and SIM management options are also greyed out.

I am missing the radio icon from my notification bar, and have been unable to find an option in engineer mode that allows me to turn the radio on if that's the issue.
[Android General] jabe78:
So I contacted Blu and asked when we could expect the Lollipop update. This was their response. Hope nobody is eagerly waiting, cause I'm not. Lol.
[Android General] Raguna163:
BLU's customer support is so inconclusive... Does that just mean it's not available now, or not any time soon? I sent them an email when I soft bricked my phone hoping for an update zip or anything, and even though I told them that I had tried everything in the recovery menu, including factory reset, they still copied and pasted hard reset instructions, essentially ignoring what I said.
[Android General] jabe78:
Yeah its pretty vague. Would have been nice to at least give some sort of time line... I know I have read July 2015, but by the time we get Lollipop, android will have introduced M... Which I here is nothing more than just Lollipop remade to fix a few bugs. Cyanogenmod is truly needed here. We have some great ports, but really craving some customization.
