For those battery having problems, I have found that using a 2A charger not only charges the phone quicker, it also makes the battery last longer. I have not noticed any overheating issues. It may shorten battery life, but honestly I've disassembled enough smartphones to not worry about this. Touch digitizers are already popping out on eBay. Probably soon batteries and other spare parts will start popping out as well.
[Device Reviews and Information] joeybear23:
One thing I have done on other phones with strange battery issues is power down and plug it in over night while it is off. Then unplug and turn on in the morning. No idea if this would help in your case or not, but I figure you are about ready to try anything...
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
This phone has issue with non-original chargers, and usb cables, it has some kind of sensor that detects chargers and cables, no matter if charger is at 2amp it will charge a 600mA but using original changer it charges at 1120amp ands charging last longer

no command found

Hi everybody, tried to go through most of this thread to find if this happened to anybody, but it's a lot, so here goes.

I own a Blu Life One X 2016 and whenever I try to boot into recovery mode it says 'no command found'.

I've seen the battery dropping way too fast recently so I was going to try to clear the cache. It's weird - it held battery well when at 100% but recently it's been dropping a lot when idle, which it never used to do.

I wanted to go into the recovery just to clear cache but I can't seem to get into recovery because of this 'no command found' thing. I don't really want to root my phone and flash a custom recovery, unless it really comes down to that.

Can anyone help me? Is it possible to do this over the command line without root using adb?
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
So far I have not experimented this, and I haven't even take out the original charger out of the box. I'm currently using either a computer/laptop usb port, a multi port usb charger (where I connect all my devices to charge) and a samsung 2A charger (my main charger, since it's quicker tan most). I haven't either used the Blu USB cable. I have plenty of micro usb cables laying around the house. The one that gave me problems, was faulty and when tested with other devices yielded the same results.

Maybe I'm lucky :D
[Device Reviews and Information] joeybear23:
When I go into recovery (by holding in power and volume up until the white screen, then releasing the power button but still hold volume up for a few moments) I get a "no command" message, but then just tap the power button and it goes right into recovery.

Remember, when navigating the recovery menu, volume up = select.

Does somebody knows what is the exact name for the widgets running in the small square hole in the leather case? Are there any other available beside clock, music and phone?
[Device Reviews and Information] psychoTR2:
It seems to be called "Leather Sheath," and there are a couple of alternatives (sort of). Try searching for "S-View," you'll find a few apps. They have some common issues, though. First, they don't replace Leather Sheath, they open after it, so you still see the old app before you see the new one. Then there's the fact that they work through your proximity sensor, unlike Leather Sheath which uses the magnetometer, so they'll activate if you place your finger over the sensor, which happened a lot when I was trying it out. It's not that great a solution.

Battery Charging Problems

Hey guys, I know many of you are experiencing battery charging issues and long battery charging times. I have personally dealt with them and have found a solution that might work for many of you. I tried everything from 2A charger bases to different outlets around the house to shutting the phone off completely and letting it charge. None of these things made a difference. I did however keep looking and found that the cable that you use really does matter. I am now using a 24/28 AWG charger with a 1A base and my phone takes roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes to charge from 20% to 100%. I'm sure a 2A base might make a difference but I dont want to risk lowering the battery's life. Anyway hope this helps some of you :)

Free at last... free at last! At 4:36pm MST, the 29th of March, 2016 - - I finally breathed air back into my beautiful BLU LOX 2016. I knew that if I just waited long enough (and completely wiped my laptop and re-installed my OS. all android software and drivers, including vcom and ADB) and prayed to the Linux Gods and the Binary Fairy - BLU would come back to me. :laugh:

So, I had a grip of bad software apparently, and I had the wrong pre-loader drivers. I knew it was op err, but I couldn't pin it down. Thank you for all your assistance... zaksimmermon :good: and SCrid2000 :good:

[Device Reviews and Information] joelones:
Bit of a noob here. Read through the pages and I'd like to backup the factory rom when I get the life one prior to doing the custom recovery and root as per the first page. Are the steps as follows:

1) Install MTK (MTK Usb Driver v1.0.2) along with VCOM drivers

2) Install (SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1548.00.000)

3) Load scatter file as found in BLU_L0070UU_V12_REPAIR

4) Proceed to read back entire rom by adding a file destination, then putting in the length as per MTK Droid tools block info?

5) Turn off phone, plug in via USB

6) Open backup rom in MTK Droids Tools to verify?

Thanks for the help

[Device Reviews and Information] disleyxc:
Wish I could but I'm relatively new here and I can't post links. The best I can do is tell you what to search in Newegg. Search for "6ft High Speed USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B 5pin Male Cable w/ ferrite Core,Gold Plated,Black" and the company is Coboc. It's relatively cheap even if you have to pay for shipping.

Just got my 24/28 awg cable and 5v1a wall base, and I am really noticing the difference. It actually charges while I use it now, instead of slowing the battery drain. I can link the specific products if you guys want.
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
I've been using the phone for a few weeks now and after using phones from samsung, amazon and custom roms from cyanogenmod, I honestly don't think the BLOX needs a custom rom. It is very very very close to AOSP and easily customizable to suit your needs with gravity box. It barely comes with any bloatware and with root, you can get rid of the little it has (annoying ugly keyboard, IMO). Sure, a CM rom would be cool but unlike with phones from other manufacturers, you really won't feel like you hate the software interface and need a custom rom.
[Device Reviews and Information] vampir4997:
Cool. I honestly havent flashed a rom one my last 2 phones just ran xposed on one and nothing on this one.
[Device Reviews and Information] psychoTR2:
Agreed. If anything, this phone could really do with a custom kernel, to fix some of the charging bugs we see here.

Yes. That didn't work, just figured it out though. It only does it when the sound settings are set to "General", so to check some things I went into General and tried changing the phone ringtone then I get "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." So to fix I created a new profile which then lets me select a ringtone. So the problem must be that there is no ringtone setup so the phone crashes.

Hey guys!

I've read through every single replies on the thread and learned a lot, and I have successfully unlocked, flashed custom recovery, and rooted.

From my understanding so far, when custom recovery is installed, I cannot receive the OTA updates, so I was thinking that if I would just flash the custom recovery, and use the systemless supersu and flash stock recovery, which would result in bootloader unlocked, stock recovery, rooted device. Right?

But I must have screwed up some process involving systemless root and now I can't undo /system supersu. On chainfire thread, he seems to say that I need to pretty much reset the whole device before trying systemless root again.

I have three questions about this.

1. Will using systemless root be worth at all? As in, I would like to use some xposed modules here and there, and use Titanium Backup. I would be using flashify to flash/make backup of stock recovery. Are these things all possible?

and

2. If supersu is installed without modifying /system, then will OTA remove root? or is what I'm saying with unlocked bootloader / stock recovery / root even possible?

and finally,

3. In order to restore my phone completely stock, I'm guessing I need to mess around with the androidfilehost links posted by the guy who needs a link to paypal donations. I downloaded the firmware files, but how would I use it?

And I've also seen people say "backup IMEI/nvram" but I really have no idea about how to backup/restore these. Could someone explain?

If I can't do what I want to do (question #1), then I suppose you really don't need to answer question #2/#3. In this case, I'm guessing when there's an OTA, someone would need to upload flashable zip so that it can update on custom recoveries.

Thanks in advance!
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
Q1: root doesn't limit you to get ota

I have just successfully managed to fix an IMEI issue with my sim card and it is now able to recieve texts, calls and vice versa. If the issue was a hardware problem shouldn't my phone also fail to connect to my carrier aswell? or is it like a separate antenna within the phone?

Hey guys, I can't get mtk droid tools to work for my phone.

I've tried all the troubleshooting I could find on the web, (busybox, sdcard, different mtk droid tools, root) but nothing resolves the issue. Did any of you face this problem? How did you fix it?

Thanks in advance!

I personally don't have issues with this, although I do think someone mentioned some symptoms like your case within this thread. I think a guy told him to try to reconnect antenna cable in the phone, but i would think it's hardware issue. Try reinstalling stock image :P

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

Kinda awkwardly answered my questions overall I'd say haha.

I'm guessing you're saying I shouldn't worry about not having stock recovery for OTA. Although I feel like I've read through this thread consistently about how modifying /system will pretty much disable the ota's happening naturally.. I won't worry too much about this.

Thanks!

[Device Reviews and Information] G33KSQUAD:
It all worked until i tried to flash recovery. I rebooted to bootloader like i had done before, and did the fastboot flash recovery recovery-custom-wiko-fever.img . It says successful. Then, I power off the phone and use the key combination to get into recovery mode (power + vol up). This leads me to a screen which has the andy android logo and says "no command". Upon pressing the power button, it leads me into the stock recovery!! using adb reboot recovery has led to the same results.
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
Reflash everything back to stock using the stock image someone posted earlier. I had to do this because I accidentally deleted my system partition and could not boot for a few hours until I found the command to write the system partition. I remember I was missing a switch that allowed flash without erase, or something like that. I used ADB command line only. Nothing else.
