[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
- I don't recommend the use of FlashFire with CM-12.1 until issue with random soft-bricks and/or loss of access to stock recovery partition are better understood

- If you have TWRP option then layering CM over SlimLP should present no issues.

- Whether data partition contents can be preserved is unknown. In theory should be ok; make a backup first.

- If you decide to risk FlashFire recommend sideloading FireOS as an intermediary step
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabuboy:
5.1.1 cannot use TWRP. Only option is FlashFire in order to install custom ROMs.

For what I know, the issue with CM12 bricking the device is because people did not place the "wipe" in the top of the order. Read and follow the instructions careful.

But the answers to all your questions and more are at: http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/help/help-thread-question-noob-friendly-t3205441
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Position of wipe in the operations sequence is certainly important (for any ROM) but not the magic bullet. See: http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/help/amazon-fire-stuck-cm-logo-t3347629/post66102825
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyanJustice:
I'm just now getting the inspiration to do some developing for our device, but I need pointing in the right direction where to begin. I'm interested in creating ROMS, kernels, CM13 porting, etc, and I have the time to dedicate to it, which I'm willing to do for this device, since I think it's rad and that it's Verizon community could use some love. Thanks for any advice you can throw my way, I promise to soak it right up.

Oh..oh my your serious...our full time devs can't even get root for the Verizon variant..or unlock the bootloader..without a unlocked bl you can't flash anything even close to cm
[Blu Pure XL] jasonmastertech:
Just as the title states...i'm starting a bounty, again, lol... to be awarded to the first developer(s) who can successfully provide a working daily driver custom rom for our Blu pure xl. The custom rom will be based from cyanogen mod, aosp, etc. And should be of lollipop or newer. To define what I consider a working daily driver...the rom should be stable with working camera, wifi, data, calls/text, bluetooth, and tether. (All other features should and/or will work as developement progresses) All donations will be paid via Paypal in USD to the winner(s) after our goal is achieved. Thank-you in advance to all that participate. ?

I would also pledge $50, but only if the fingerprint reader would work as well as DT2W (double tap to wake) since I use both of those features extensively. Without those two features working, I would simply stick with the stock rooted ROM.

I attempted to build CM12.1 and CWM Recovery last night ... will not boot ROM or Recovery.

Back to the coding terminal >_<
[Blu Pure XL] Unrealjay91:
Is CM dependent on cwm?
[Blu Pure XL] dante1080:
dare you

dare you to make a 6.0 android m cyanogenmod for this phone big fan of cyanogenmod my oneplus one is running it and love the os not the phone
[Blu Pure XL] acheron1502:
Not dependant, but uses some of the same setup files. Recovery build faster so it's easy to test your mk files that way.

CWM recovery is actually not being developed anymore... Replaced with CM recovery with less options.

I was able to get CM recovery to build and boot last night, so I'm going to attempt a full CM 12.1 build tonight.
[Blu Pure XL] bemolx:
Yeah, my version will be on 6.0.1

[Blu Pure XL] Ashalinia:
[MENTION=5543422]bemolx[/MENTION] is there anything special I have to do to get the CM 13 rom to flash properly? It seems to have a problem finding a particular partition when flashing and hangs/bricks on reboot.
[Blu Pure XL] bemolx:
Yeah, it could have problems with partitions, I've supposed it could be bad build but I can't test it myself because my Allview is totally dead - I'm sending it to Allview's phone service.

Flashing is simple, just wipe /system, /data & /cache but please use acheron's twrp for this build to flash it. I'm gonna run next build tomorrow with some root-expert's fixes etc to see if it even boots up.. Once it does I'll create new thread.

First Successful Build of CM 12.1 (Android 5.1.1)

HOLY CRAP it compiled :victory:

Backing up now and testing it on my phone ...

================================

UPDATE 1

well this is not fun ...

I switched over to using the CM Recovery that was built with the ROM, wiped data/system/cache, sideloaded CM ROM ... but it will not boot!

I also cannot get back to Bootloader mode to "fastboot flash" my TWRP recovery and restore my backup ...

Attempting to make update.zip of my TWRP to flash using this CM Recovery ... hope I can get it back ...

===============================

UPDATE 2

got my TWRP back and was able to restore my backup ... there was a "Reboot to Bootloader" option in that CM Recovery that I overlooked before *whew*

back to the drawing board on this CM ROM ...

[Blu Pure XL] acheron1502:
We're you not able to flash the images using SP Flash Tool?
[Blu Pure XL] jasonmastertech:
Unfortunately no. I was able to flash boot.img, stock recovery.img, and system.img but it kept saying error, PMT needed to be downloaded. Not sure what that meant. But it left my device unbootable to anything, included download or recovery mode, and the battery has run out of power and doesnt charge now w usb port. Gonna try to take phone apart and charge battery externally and see if i can hopefully get it to communicate w pc.
[Blu Pure XL] jasonmastertech:
I first flashed the images using fastboot commands, and they flashed successfully except for system image.
[Blu Pure XL] acheron1502:
For SP Flash to work:

- correct VCOM drivers must be installed (google for gionee e8 vcom)

- use the Download tab

- select the Scatter file (it should then list the available partitions)

- double click on BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM and select the matching IMG files

- click Download

- make sure phone is powered off

- connect USB and it should load the images

I did this when testing... I flashed a ROM for Redmi Note 2 and thought I bricked it. This should get you back to a booting phone.
[Blu Pure XL] jasonmastertech:
I flashed it a few times w gionee da vcom driver. When it didnt work i tried several other drivers and flashes again. At the moment, the pc recognizes the phone as mtk vcom comm port #2...but only for 5 secs at a time and then disconnects and reconnects w 16 sec off intervals. Im hoping this is due to the lack of battery power. Sp flash tool does recognize that device but times out due to phones on & off state.
[Blu Pure XL] acheron1502:
Sounds like battery to me as well. Hope you can charge it enough to flash the images.

2. On screenshots on this site there's not even phone model specified!

3. As DL link is only survey!

4. Only development on Blu Pure XL aka Allview X2 Xtreme aka Gionee Elife E8 you can find here! Nowhere else!!!

Don't let those sites make fool of you!!!

[Blu Pure XL] acheron1502:
No kernel source yet (that I'm aware of).

Device and Vendor trees are similar to Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, but you will have to pull the proprietary blobs from the phone itself.

I should have more time to dive into this again tonight/tomorrow. I'm shooting for a bootable CM 12.1 and also a Stock Rooted with OTA bundled.

Stay Tuned to this Thread for updates :cool:
[Blu Pure XL] root-expert:
I think you should first boot a cm12.1 and then move to cm13. Also, have you changed stuff such as fstab and rootdir files? And propably it is better to use a prebuilt kernel and not other device kernel source. :D Maybe i can try to make a base tree for this device from scratch, do you have any stock rom availiable?
[Blu Pure XL] acheron1502:
No stock ROM ZIP available. I have posted BOOT, RECOVERY, and SYSTEM image dumps in the BLU DEVELOPMENT thread.

[Blu Pure XL] root-expert:
I fixed mkbootimg to build custom images for this device. Maybe this is the reason you get a bootloop in your package. I found that the base address is 0x4dffff00 but i'm not sure though. I think you are currently building with 0x40078000 from Xiaomi repo. I have attached a stock boot.img if anyone can flash and tell me if it boots it will be much appreciated.

I am well aware they are completely different devices!! The procedure for accessing the kernel source code is the exact same. Please download my Google Drive link and check for yourself. I am 100% positive the kernel source code is for the Blu Pure XL. Unless Blu messed up, the kernel is for the MediaTek MT6795 Helio X10. I was VERY surprised that they released the kernel source code. I promise you I have no viruses or any crap like that attached to the Google Drive link. Please download the kernel and check for yourself.

If we can get a working DEVICE tree (BoardConfig.mk seems to be the big issue) then we should be good.

EDIT:

I'm adding my local files to Github for us to use -- https://github.com/acheron1502

Vendor tree should be good to go once it's uploaded (in progress now)

Device tree and Kernel tree will be uploaded afterwards.

LETS GET THIS DONE :highfive:

EDIT2:

Github should be fully synced now with my DEVICE, VENDOR, and KERNEL trees.

You can use REPO to download everything...
