[MENTION=4939713]lopestom[/MENTION] gave me a suggetion for possible getting the camera to work. Basically editing the init.**** files in the boot to change the camera drivers. I tried it out, and have uploaded a modified cyanogenmod boot image. I won't have time to test this out until the weekend, if someone else wants to give it a run and see if it fixes the camera problems in cyanogenmod, please let me know.

Make sure you're using the stock BLOX /etc/firmware and /etc/mddb folders in the CM you try this with.

Use kingroot and replace kingroot super user with chainfire super su. This method does not involve unlocking the bootloader and therefore does not need a factory reset.

There is a script I used on my girlfriend's lox. I also used it on a Galaxy S4 I have, but some people here said they had read stories of bricking devices using it, so they recommended a paid app that does the job. Because of that, I did not recommended any method and left it up to you to choose. Glad you were able to do it. Cheers!

Is it worth it to install Xposed on my BLOX?

Why?
[Device Reviews and Information] joeybear23:
Most of the customization you get with custom ROMs you can do with Xposed installed on the stock ROM. You can go to a fully customized look and feel without having the pain of wiping if you want to go back to stock or just tweek things a bit.
[Device Reviews and Information] mantarkus:
I second that, you can find almost any mod you get with a custom ROM with Xposed plus a few more without the hassle of running with ROM bugs and all. I mean, at the end you want to USE your phone right? YMMV.

I was hoping a custom rom would fix the lag and inaccuracy my blox has using the keyboard when texting (or at least thats when its most noticeable). I don't know exactly if/what software tweak could possibly help with this but I'm fairly certain it isn't the digitizer itself. Possibly needs to be re-calibrated or something like that.

Do you think there are any Xposed modules that would help with this?
[Device Reviews and Information] joeybear23:
I don't know... I had some lag issues for the first couple weeks with the keyboard, but I later started using the Google Keyboard and the issues went away. Now I don't know if the new keyboard did that or if it was just time. Some other things resolved themselves over time as well, like battery drain and proximity sensor issues.

Blu Life One X (2016) USB MTP fix

In case anyone's phone isn't being recognized by the device manager in Windows 10, here's what I did to fix it.

In Device Manager you'll see either Unknown Device or it'll say that the device driver has a bad inf file or something. Just go to the device's properties > upgrade driver > manually select driver > Usb device > MTP USB Device

I found the drivers for "MTP Device" without "USB" in the title did not work. I think those are proprietary though and the generic microsoft provided "MTP USB Device" is the winner.

Disclaimer: I've had multiple devices connected to this system, so this may be an issue just with me, seeing as the M$ driver is correct (thus why the manufacturer doesn't provide one, it's just supposed to work natively according to MTProtocol)

But to anyone else who's had every brand of device under the sun connected at some point, this may be your issue as well. Like how Samsungs want their bloody driver installed for whatever reason. Makes connecting your phone at a friend's place a hassle having to install something on someone else's machine, when the point of the protocol is that it should just work.

Happy 'Droiding!

Finally got it half way root with Wiko Fever Marshmallow Rom

1. Back up my IMEI with MobileUncle (make sure you back up to SDCard)

2. [MENTION=4132835]SCrid2000[/MENTION]

1. Backup the secro and preloader from your BLOX, or get them from http://xdaforums.com/gene...3#post65064353

2. Download the wiko fever marshmallow rom http://update.wikomobile.com/FEVER_SE_V11.zip

3. Run the Wiko executable to unpack the fever rom

4. replace the secro and preloader in the fever rom folders with the BLOX ones

BLU_L0070UU_V12_REPAIR.zip https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=48791

5. run spflashtool

6. install the fever rom (with the two blu files substituted) as download+format.

3. [MENTION=569582]rogersa2k[/MENTION],

Unlock the bootloader

4. Reboot

5. Flash TWRP Wiko Fever Android M from [MENTION=5210252]hanuma[/MENTION]

https://mega.nz/#!IdshQaCS!4aASj5y4LKPFuRciE2YG2_T6Z_pR44mjlwmQ7Lx2qwE

***(Do not flash BOOT.IMG, only recovery or you will get bootloop)***

6. Flash SuperSU

7. Wait for reboot and do the normal stuff and install MobileUncle and restore your old IMEI.

I still can't figure out how to fix NVRAM error and some app that need Root like ES File explorer Paid version cannot get Root Access and Titanium cannot write on SDCard. Other than minor hipcup everything seem to work fine.

Did you guys manage to get US LTE bands to work? That's the problem I wasn't able to get past.
[Device Reviews and Information] koriotto:
Hmm dang I have no true way to test it since my provider "Telcel" doesnt really provides LTE just a fake hspa+ kinda... srry cant help in testing that. But other that that im getting excellent Call reception on both sims and 3/4G data

---------- Post added at 04:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 AM ----------

Also tbh the data speed is not that important as the NVram error, since the guide provided is a temporary fix, as soon as I reboot the phone the nvram error is back and i have to do all the process again. I already tried the Hex editor solution they post on around page 5 of the guide but still at reboot its NVram error again =/ that wifi on/off is killing my battery and my patience

Does any1 here have a fully working cm 12 zip that they can post. Like flash it thru recovery without changing anything. Thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] koriotto:
I cant test US LTE bands since im in Mexico, but im getting 4G speeds from Telcel and Movistars (my local providers) phone calls are 100% working no drops or time without signal.

I would say as long as LTE is NOT that important this rom "could" be ur daily rom, but thats not true atm, also theres this issue with screen rotation. Im not sure if it never worked or if it stopped working later on, but not having auto screen rotation is a big deal breaker.

I mean theres a way to bypass it i guess installing xposed modules that force auto rotation on certain apps but thats too much work for the average person to do on his "daily rom".(Also tried installing virtual sensors to see it that fixed it but no luck)

So the 3 big issues i find are:

1.-NVRAM error temporal fix will drive you crazy after doing the fix 5-10 times.

2.-LTE speeds (maybe working? cant test) But 4g for telcel wich uses same bands as ATT is ok, so maybe it works on USA

3.- Screen autorotation breaking later in the rom life/not working from the beggining?

Besides from those 3 points everything else is fine.

Also DONT take the V16 update it totally softbricks the rom and then you have to start from SPFlash tool again

Disabled it. Cleared cache (including dalvik) rebooted and tried it with google cardboard and Pokemon Go. Not working. What app did you tested it on that did not worked before and now does? Are you using stock rom or the Fever Marshmallow?
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:
What exactly is the nvram error
[Device Reviews and Information] koriotto:
Initially You get NVRAM error 10 (nvram warning err=0x10; Turns Wifi ON and OFF randomly and for no reason or pattern) And then theres a lot of fixes for it, wich partially work on our BLOX. Then you can randomly get error 02 or 01 nvram warning err=0x02 and nvram warning err=0x01; one messed up with my sim cards (BLOX didnt read sim cards), and the other just didnt found any wifi/BT devices.

They all got fixes on a lot of xda posts for another devices, its enough to google the nvram error number you get, but in the end they are partial and temporary fixes i got em all back as soon as I rebooted the phone. As I said, they are "fixable" but gets annoying to make the process everytime you reboot.

I ended up flashing back to out BLOX original rom now, since for me the most deal breaking issue was the Auto rotate not working

NOTE:*TO LOCATE WHERE THE NVRAM ERROR APPEARS ITS ON THE WIFI WINDOW.*

Does anyone have a broken one x? Mine decided to stop charging. The part is easy enough to replace. Just a bunch of screws, snap off the back and it disconnects by ribbon cable and antenna clip. So if anyone has a broken one that still charges i would like to buy it for parts. Or if anyone knows where to get the part, i have contacted blu but i doubt i will get a response. As far as i can tell the port isnt damaged though, no broken solder or lifted pins. So i'm thinking its the charging port but would like to buy a broken one(lol, word play) that for sure charges.

I followed the steps exactly up to the point where you install Xposed Framwork. I used TWRP, and when I tried to reboot, it just gets stuck on the white screen that says 'BLU' What have I done wrong? Getting the Xposed Framework and using the modules is the only reason I'm doing this to begin with.
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
Did you wipe dalvik\cache after installing xposed?

once xposed is installed I find that my phone boots up extremely slow. Usually takes between 5-10 minutes depending on the amount of apps you have installed.

Also , when using TWRP, I find it less buggy to do a power off and then manually turn on the phone rather than using the reboot command.

As someone who has worked as a phone repair technician, look at the pictures below. The one that shows the back with a blue film on it.

I actually bought an oem screen like this and did the repair. The blue simply covered the LCD, and the repair was pretty easy.
