Are you booting into recovery immediately after flashing via fastboot? If you boot into system rather than into recovery, a script runs that restores the stock recovery.

So:

1. Unlock bootloader and boot into fastboot

2. in command line "fastboot flash recovery <recoveryNameAndLocation.img>"

3. hold power button and volume up until you boot into recovery

Yeah they told me that too a few weeks ago, I was hoping it was just someone who didn't know what was going on but at this point I doubt we're getting it. Hopefully the Fever SE rom is available soon, or someone who has one dumps the system.img for us to use.
[Device Reviews and Information] elix9000:
Exactly how long did it take to charge to 100, I crave better battery life from this device but the device just doesn't allow it and I heard this rom gives much better battery, If I flashed it what would be the average charge time from around 15 to 100?
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
It's not a ROM, it's a custom kernel. And I honestly can't answer that. I never allow my phone to drain below 20% and when it reaches those levels, I put it to charge while I sleep (usually more than 6 hours) so, I cannot precise how long would it take.

I can tell you that, if plugged to a 2A charger, I get around 25%-35% increase in one hour, depending on how active my phone is, and how good the 4G signal is. This is the same with both stock and custom kernels.

The custom kernel what really helps is with standby time. I can get now more than 36 hours of standby time.
[Device Reviews and Information] elix9000:
My apologies I know it was a kernel but I been so busy with roms for a different device that thats all on my mind:D:D:D:D:D anyway I flashed it and thank you for your input I truly appreciate it. The phone feels much faster though like it got a new take on life.
[Device Reviews and Information] dubhlinn:
thank u!

step 14. says to type fastboot reboot after recovery install.

it should say what u said in ur 3rd step.

running twrp now. its always something stupid that gets overlooked. thanks again
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
You're very welcome.

And actually I do type fastboot reboot recovery after flashing the recovery image, and then I hold the power and volume up keys to reboot into recovery. But it's a lot simpler to explain it the way I did, and both work.
[Device Reviews and Information] Deznuts:
Do this instead..after unlcking your boot loader restart for device at least 2 times ..and then flash the recovery with spft ...i had the same problem with adb ...so i flashed the recovery through spft ...and long and behold .it worked >>.
[Device Reviews and Information] elix9000:
I know this is kinda off topic from your post but have you or anyone else reported no sensors working except for the proximity sensor
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
I haven't, although very oddly mtp stopped working for me.
[Device Reviews and Information] elix9000:
Maybe the boot,dalvik cache and cache should be wiped before it is flashed, Im going to try it
[Device Reviews and Information] banas:
Looks good, i might try this one.
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:
Try flashing the twrp 3.0.0 someone linked in this thread, then rebooting and using adb reboot recovery.

Screen protector and case

Hey guys

I've just applied this anti-glare screen protector on my phone. It doesn't cover the whole screen from edge to edge but that's because as someone has mentioned before the screen is curved, and that's how big the screen protector is. Here is a picture of my phone with the protector so you can get an idea. Easy to apply if you've done this before. I much prefer a tempered glass protector but it seems there aren't any that fit this device.

Now, I don't mind the size of this screen protector since I'm using it with a hard case which goes over the area not protected by the film. This "hybrid" case in particular reminds me of the Otter Box Defender in that it is a plastic case and a soft TPU cover (not rubber) over it. This combination makes the phone look thicker and adds a little weight but a good part of it is the TPU which is very thick, not your usual slim TPU or paper thin rubber sleeve. I feel this case will protect my phone from accidental bumps and ear high drops. Also the rim which ads to the thickness of the case is high enough to protect your screen from touching the ground has it fall flat face down, or if you place it upside down on a table it wont touch the surface.

Headphones, USB and microphone are accessible, only nuisance are the buttons since they are flush with the case you need to press a little harder for them to work.

I've included pics of both.

The anti-glare screen protector I got from HERE

Case from HERE

Hope this helps

[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
Actually there is a tempered glass screen. I have one on mine. it covers about the same as those screen protectors. Though it does not adhere very well on the edges. I have two, the wifey, which is white, it's less noticeable. But I rather sacrifice looks and protect the screen. Sadly, the item is no longer on eBay
[Device Reviews and Information] mantarkus:
I'm with you, I prefer to protect my screen over looks. I actually found THIS for the Wiko Fever, they actually mention it is smaller than the phone, but if it fits like the anti-glare films I got then I have no problem with that.

[Device Reviews and Information] feegus:
I've tried several with same results. Currently aosp.
[Device Reviews and Information] joeybear23:
I have noticed that as well from time to time but it is not the keyboard but rather touches in general. Sometimes it's like the digitizer is not keeping up with touches for a bit. I've seen it while swiping, playing game sthat require you to drag across teh screen, etc. But it always goes away after 3-5 seconds.
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
Whenever I experience sluggish behavior with the phone it's usually a recently installed app that's trying to run. Amazon apps are infamous doing this. As is facebook and instagram.

to keep them at bay I use greenify and amplify, and never use stuff like cleaners.

Try to get rid or freeze apps you don't really use on a daily basis.
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
There're also chargers that affects digitizer of android phones
[Device Reviews and Information] feegus:
Yes, its very likely the digitizer lagging for some reason. I find my issues can last longer than 5 seconds though. I also don't game much but text all the time and it is very noticable after awhile.

Is there a service menu or app that will work with these phones to recalibrate or adjust sensitivity of the digitizer?
[Device Reviews and Information] walterdequino:
touch is not response, when erase stop work and then continue work... Maybe the problem its the software.. Any solution please???? (sorry for my bad english)
[Device Reviews and Information] psychoTR2:
Great, so it's not just me that experiences this! Can anyone who is running Wiko firmware or a custom ROM confirm if this is happening to them?

Hi there, just wanted to add the "UMI Touch" to the list of similar phones. It has the MTK6753 as well and it runs Android 6.0
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
Just because it has the same processor doesn't mean it's the same phone. I just checked the UMI Touch and it's not the same. Which is a shame, because if it was its marshmallow rom might have been compatible.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ftheccat:
What's the requisite to consider them "the same"? I compared the specs from all the phones listed similar in the OP and they all have different screens, ram, etc...
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
You're right about the phones listed in the OP, I hadn't noticed that. The XOLO Black 1X, Elephone P8000, and Quantum Go 4G probably shouldn't be up there. The BLOX, Micromax, and Fever are all the exact same hardware however.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ftheccat:
The Micromax is listed with 3 gigs of ram tho

[Device Reviews and Information] j3cool:
If someone could please help me I would really be grateful. I have tried four different ways to flash the wiko 6.0 rom and all I get is bootloops. If someone has successfully booted 6.0 could you please tell me how you did it.
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
You need to flash the boot.img and system.img using the flash tool. Best thing to use is the format+download option. If you want, you can also flash the recovery.img, lk.bin, and the logo.bin. There's a marshmallow twrp in the wiko fever thread that works as well.

All that being said, my sim card wasn't detected when I booted up. If you can get that to work, go ahead and post directions.
[Device Reviews and Information] TiTiB:
I successfully used the script from vickybonic at

Worked perfectly *and* installed latest stable SuperSu 2.65
[Device Reviews and Information] elix9000:
I observed (at least in my case) that flashing the marshmallow fever rom locks the bootloader and installs stock recovery when you flash only system and boot. Unless I accidentally flashed the recovery
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
Ah right, it would do that. The new system would restore the script that installs the stock recovery on boot. Flashing the stock blu recovery will do that as well.
[Device Reviews and Information] Jerry454:
I'm a complete noob at all this, but I want to give this a shot. What are the chances of bricking this phone if I do this??

[Device Reviews and Information] elix9000:
Whenever I flash the marshmallow fever rom It wont boot unless I use all the BLOX's file and then flash the system and boot. Like it wont respond to the power button. Also whenever I restore nvram and/or nvdata I get bootloops so I returned to stock until we have a concrete way of installing the rom.
[Device Reviews and Information] Jerry454:
I also have rooted my blue life one x with kingroot. Did you install xposed framework with custom recovery? If so what method did u use
[Device Reviews and Information] mantarkus:
I installed TWRP using Flashify. I followed this guide , although it's for a Galaxy Tab pro 8.4 it worked perfectly on my BLOX (obviously download the TWRP version provided in the First Post).

Xposed I installed following the instructions on the first post as well.

Hope this helps

[Device Reviews and Information] Jerry454:
So using that process I don't need to unlock bootloader??
[Device Reviews and Information] TiTiB:
I'm a huge fan of System App Remover, although I usually just manually delete all traces of unwanted apps. The reason I didn't use it in this instance was fear, warranted or not, of losing root privileges.

Anyways, all is now well: rooted, SuperSu, TWRP, material Xposed (which I highly recommend). All that's left is to research Marshmallow for our phone!

[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
Nice, I hadn't even thought to try using the wiko scatter to load it. Just booted it up and I have signal too, although I lost my imei and a lot of bands are missing (since it's the Fever band set). Downloaded and installed the update, which had the lovely side effect of breaking eeverything until I reflashed the Blu preloader and secro, but the update worked.

So now I just need to get my imei restored (which will be fun, since the connectivity tab of engineering tools doesn't seem to have the CDS Information option) and T-Mobile compatible bands.

Hey [MENTION=3737127]juancollado2003[/MENTION] you were able to unlock the Blu bands in the original Fever; is there anything you need to be able to do that with the Fever SE (the nvdata img?) or instructions on how to do it? I tried searching but couldn't find anything that seemed to say how to unlock bands.
[Device Reviews and Information] elix9000:
I saw a post where it had the BLOX bands on a wiko fever, I will test what will happen if you flash it.
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:

This tool: http://xdaforums.com/android/help/extract-dat-marshmallow-lollipop-easily-t3334117 allows unpack and repack of system.img and system.new.dat files (I've used it before on some ROMs).

Yes. I think the problem is with TWRP. If I let TWRP mount system as read/write the rom will fail to boot. I install TWRP, reboot into TWRP ,allow system read/write, immediately reboot without even installing any zip files and the phone hangs at the boot screen. If I install TWRP, reboot into TWRP, mount system as read only then the phone will reboot properly. But then when I install the latest supersu in TWRP that way it dosen't stick. When I reboot back into the rom, supersu is not there.
