Great! You were one step ahead, that was going to be my next suggestion. Now with an unlocked bootloader you should be able to make a TWRP and flash whatever you want including injecting su or flashing a completely modified ROM with root.

Can we as a community keep hammering Mediatek to release the helio x10 sources so we can start porting roms to the pure xl? I'm doing my fair share of posting on their social media sites. We'll be able to get 6.0 if they post up the sources. They had them up on github but they removed them I don't know why.

This is probably where I stop being useful since I'm a "monkey see, monkey do" kind of guy as far as rom development goes, although I'm up for testing stuff.

Is this any of use to you?

Dude you're awesome at researching and finding useful Intel! I'm going to go over everything you've provided over course of today and tomorrow and start working on the phone. I should get it by tomorrow evening. I built my own rom before privately so hopefully I have enough know how to get Development rolling in here. I just hope I can motivate others of better skills to come over once it's proven roms can be ported over and such.

* Flash with recovery xposed-v78-sdk22-arm64.zip -- DON'T WORRY AFTER REBOOT, Optimizing apps looks like bootloop (overall counter goes down ;) ), but after 5-10 minutes Android starts normally.

3. Download and install GravityBox [LP], Enable in XPosed, Reboot phone

I am very happy now because all BLU_Pure_XL and Allview_X2_Xtreme users go have ROOT and safety to save all the files from the phone. This was a big win for everyone involved.

You have not flashed twrp recovery. Instead that what you see you should see completly new custom recovery (as my 1st screen).
[Blu Pure XL] spit85:
flash the twrp recovery in fastboot mode, with: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

The above recovery.img in the fastboot command should be named at your twrp recovery image. Or rename the twrp recovery.

Stil in fastboot mode, pres the volume up button and the power button. Wait until the phone reboots and you see the logo from the bootscreen. Then release the buttons. Now you are in twrp recovery.

For the noobs!

Download this tool

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/tool-windroid-universal-android-toolkit-t3206891

Make sure you enabled USB debugging on your phone and installed the adb drivers.

Place the su install zip on your phone.

Connect your phone to your computer and start the windroid toolkit. Windroid ask you to choose a phone. Choose others, then non. On the main screen from windroid you choose the tab commands. Make sure it's the tab commands, and not setup.

In the tab commands you choose flash recovery. You will be prompted that you're phone reboots in fastboot mode. Now you get a pop-up that let you select the twrp recovery image.

Now wait until windroid flashed the recovery image. If windroid prompt you to reboot the phone, choose "no".

Now still in fastboot mode, press the volume up and power button and hold it until the phone reboots.

Now you are in the twrp recovery.

Choose to install a zip. Now choose the su install zip.

That's all.

The apk from here:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440

For the boot loop in case you installed older versions , use the uninstaller from the first link in TWRP .

Be patient it will take more then 30 min to boot the phone first time after the phone is installed , depending how many apps you have installed , it will optimize them and it takes some time.
[Blu Pure XL] ShanethP:
I installed this, now the phone reads "Android is starting... Optimizing app x of y"

The phone goes through this, and crashes/reboots every 4 apps or so. However, the Y value keeps decreasing.

I've been through this twice. I'm positive I installed the version you recommended.

I also cleared the cache and dev.

EDIT: After about an hour (170 apps) we are all running again!

Can I ask why this wouldn't work gionee e8 and BLU pure xl are the same phone. I flashed my BLU vivo IV with the gionee s5.5 stock firmware and I'm sending this message from my BLU vivo air which I flashed with gionee stock 4.4.2 because gionee actually updated to lollipop while BLU promised an update that never came. So in my experience you can flash any of these rebranded phones OS to the other phone that's identical with no problem. In fact I am searching for the stock gionee e8 firmware that I can flash to my new BLU pure xl because I'm sure gionee will eventually release marshmallow while BLU will not. So if anybody has the stock firmware for Gionee Elife E8 Please Post A Link.

My phone is now up and running after not even responding to the power button for almost 24 hours. However, now I do not have a data connection at all. It is telling me that I have an invalid IMEI number. Is this because I flashed formware from the other phone? I'm not sure what to do here

Thanks for this; I bricked my phone not knowing how to work SPFT and this got it to boot, I appreciate it a lot;

Also if anyone cares; i successfully cross flashed to the E8... boot logo and all... no ill effects as of yet (IMEI is same as it was, etc)

I was able to flash TWRP, havent re rooted as of yet, but thats on the agenda next...

I am also gonna try to restore NANDROID backup once it copies back over to see if that gets me back to BLU...

Yup, the NANDROID brought back phone to preflash status, including boot graphic; now that I have had this experience, I'm going to start experimenting...

FYI...TWRP 3.0 doesn't have NANDROID backup/restore working, so be aware of that...

Thanks to everyone who posted files and bemolx, and all the others that got us root and custom recoveries..
[Blu Pure XL] droidboy29:
Thanks you so much for this file I could not find it anywhere. Now I can finally flash e8 firmware. :)
[Blu Pure XL] droidboy29:
So you didn't have to restore your IMEI? When I flashed it I had to restore IMEI 1 and 2. Also I could not get mobile data working no matter what I tried under about phone, sim info everything looked normal except mobile network status says disconnected. I even added at&t apn settings to see if that would make a difference but it didn't. So I flashed TWRP and restored back to blu ROM. Also the E8 ROM dose not support 4g lte so you'll only get hspa.
[Blu Pure XL] tbirdguy:
My IMEI's DID NOT change; both sim slots stayed the same, and I was getting 4g on the E8 firmware (over 40Mb/s according to the speed test app)

I didn't have to restore any other information, but I will say I tried several files to flash before I tried bahi391's files and none got phone to boot (all had no response from power button "bricked")
[Blu Pure XL] droidboy29:
Also stuck with gionee splash screen before the blu boot screen which isnt a big deal.

My previous NANDROID backup from TWRP replaced mine back to BLU, although I liked the gionee one better (not as bright (BOLD LIKE THEM) or loud

Where did you get this file?

You should be careful about what you put to other users without you even take the test !!

Some logo.bin files of many devices BLU are in some xda threads. But have different resolutions of Pure XL!!

Example: If this logo.bin file you put has a resolution 720x1280, then will not work for any other device with different resolution.

I believe you wanted to help. But first it is important to understand that you can hurt someone in some way.

BLU PURE XL has 6 inches with Resolution 1440 x 2560 pixels (~490 ppi pixel density)
[Blu Pure XL] droidboy29:
You know I didn't even think about where he got it from I flashed it through twrp and it said successful but didn't change anything at all. I was thinking of extracting the logo.bin and flashing through SP flash tool but now that you pointed out that this is not from a blu pure XL I won't be trying that. Hopefully somebody can pull the logo.bin from their BLU PURE XL and post it here. And can somebody confirm that the logo.bin is what I would need to flash to get my BLU splash screen back? Also why hasn't blu released the stock firmware for this phone, what are they waiting for?
