I apologize for not posting in a while.. I'm just now starting to jump back into XDA fairly regularly..

i did end up eventually redoing my Windows 10 system and it worked out of the box as you said..

Thanks bud!!

That's actually quite normal, it SHOULD go back to fastboot - if it doesn't, there's an issue.. whatever you're commanding fastboot through, just either use "fastboot continue" or "fastboot reboot" - and you'll be booting again. :)

Battery life? Heavy user or defective unit? SOT?

Hi everyone,

I bought my LOX the third day it came out. I was really impressed with reviews, which said it would get 5 hours of screen on time. However, with my use, which I feel is fairly light, I struggle to get through the day on one charge and never reach 3.5 hours of SOT. Am I just a heavy user and don't know it? Or does my unit (one of the first, I presume, since I bought it the 3rd day after being released) just have a faulty battery (or otherwise defective) ?

What screen on time do you guys usually get? Will it last you the whole day?

My use usually consists of:

Web browsing

Snapchat

FB Messenger

Occasional YT

Occasional light gaming

Thanks!

Side note/Random off topic question: If I really am just a heavy user, then would the Nexus 6 be a good choice as an upgrade? Maybe with a custom ROM/kernel? Seen lots of things about bad battery life on the N6. Other alternatives for upgrades <$200?
[Device Reviews and Information] :
Yesterday I successfully installed TWRP 3.0.2-1 (by SCrid2000), did a factory reset, and everything worked fine. I did a backup and then I tried to install superSU from recovery, 2.82 didn't work just said it was a corrupted zip, so I installed the 2.52 Beta that was recommended in the original guide. Installed it, doesn't boot, ok no problem let me restore the backup, then the backup doesn't boot (Just Blu Logo, then black, the Blu logo, then recovery again).

So I download the rooted stock twrp backup that someone posted much earlier in the thread to my mac(adb and fastboot working fine). Boot into recovery and try adb push, but the device is not recognized (adb worked from android and fastboot let me install twrp). So what to do?
[Device Reviews and Information] Teblakuda4o4:
Install the twrp_wikofever_2.8.7.0.img from the first page in the forum and try to restore the backup with that. If that doesn't work, you may need to use spflashtools, flash the devices then try the rooting and recovery process again.
[Device Reviews and Information] :
It worked, Thanks!

I can't actually believe this but my wife and I BOTH just got our Marshmallow update. We were shocked. Haven't done it yet.

The only question now is... We've got our phones rooted to disable things that were making the phone lag. Will updating break my root and will there be a way to root after?
[Device Reviews and Information] Teblakuda4o4:
Cool... I gave up on that update lool. Glad to know we weren't forgotten

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------

I believe if you unroot and then flash the stock recovery, you should be able to update. Tho I'm not sure. I'll test it out when I see the notification to update.
[Device Reviews and Information] ac84@live:
I would love to try Marshmallow but not at the risk of losing root. Is there any one out there who could shed a little more light in this matter?
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
I flashed it using twrp no need to change back to stock recovery, it takes like 10mins, after boots it hangs for 5mins, I forced it to shutdown, a big mistake, when booted up it said unsusfull encription need to reset, lost my apps, it would be arased any way by unlock bootloader, then flashed TWRP from here using fastboot flash recovery, then this, flash last supersu.zip, everithing is awesome
[Device Reviews and Information] tinpanalley:
So, it wasn't a smooth process then. I have heard of people just taking the update directly even with root but on other phones.

Is it really necessary to hard reset the phone? Do we know if the process of rooting on 5.0 or 5.1 would work again the exact same way and what parts of the process if any wouldnt need doing again?

I have also flashed update using twrp, after finished, phone auto-reboots, splash screen is shown and after that I waited like 15 minutes in a black screen... tired of waiting I hold power button to restart the phone, for a second I think I saw a white menu and phone rebooted... after that everything was OK, every data, every app were in there and the phone updated to M.
[Device Reviews and Information] tinpanalley:
How are you guys updating via twrp? How did you get the update as a file onto your phone?
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
Download the update. It will automatically use TWRP to flash it.

Just finished flashing mine. After a complete boot (seems all aps are there) it says the phone is being encrypted.

Make sure you remove xposed framework before flashing, if you use xposed.
[Device Reviews and Information] tinpanalley:
What does the phone being encrypted mean?
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
no idea. I just let it finish. Rom is working fine. No issues at all. Root access was lost and custom recovery as well.
[Device Reviews and Information] tinpanalley:
Ok. Thanks. I have to have root so maybe not worth it for me. My phone is night and day in performance with Blu's stock apps frozen with Titanium. Especially the keyboard.

But its cool to know that the phone stays the same with apps and home screen.

BLOX Dark Logo

this is my black logo

you can flash by fastboot:

fastboot flash logo /path/to/logo/BLOXdarkLogo.img

also by SHELL

copy file to /sdcard/BLOXdarkLogo.img

in cmd type

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/BLOXdarkLogo.img of=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/logo

reboot
[Device Reviews and Information] pbosio:
You can always update and root the phone again (btw in Marshmallow the default keyboard app is the google keyboard)

My update fail. The error message says that sd card was not detected, check it. But my sd card open normally in explorer. My language update is Potuguese Brazil. Anyone with the same problems?
[Device Reviews and Information] tinpanalley:
I guess so. I just feel like it was so complicated last time. There was some part that didn't work properly and then someone figured out a fix, etc etc etc. After rooting or during the process will you have to hard reset? I've got too many games with saves and so on.
[Device Reviews and Information] pbosio:
yeah, unlocking the bootloader will reset your phone
[Device Reviews and Information] tinpanalley:
ugh...the saves, the system settings, the passwords on accounts, redownloading apps... someone's gotta figure out a way to automate that. I don't know if I have the patience just for MM.
[Device Reviews and Information] pbosio:
That is why Titanium Backup exist :D
[Device Reviews and Information] tinpanalley:
But Titanium Backup can't put back your apps and homescreen with saves and settings the way everything was. Can it?

And weren't there issues with restoring a series of apps in a fresh reset? Problems with their functioning properly, etc? Maybe I'm remembering wrong.
[Device Reviews and Information] pbosio:
I didn't use titanium backup this last time, but I never had problems with that...

If the home app is the same (not this case, I think that MM changed the Home app) it's dores restore it well with the shortcuts and all...

I always restore taking in mind the order of restore, like, probably restore the apps first and then de home app-

Settings it not recommendable to backup when you are changing the OS so yeap, does sucks...
[Device Reviews and Information] tinpanalley:
Hmm.. ok. I don't use the Home app anyway, I use Arrow Launcher.

But all those settings... I'd have to see if MM is really a different enough experience. I haven't read anything that makes me feel like I need it. Maybe the new Camera2 API. Would be nice to get some of those features like manual focus, aperture control, etc

What instructions did you follow exactly to root? Maybe I'll try how you did it.
[Device Reviews and Information] pbosio:
To tell you the truth, I think upgrading to MM doesn't worth the time or effort.

I only updated cause I couldn't dismiss the "update" notification and my OCD didn't let me live in peace with a constant notification on my phone....
[Device Reviews and Information] tinpanalley:
Hahaha... honestly, that's the only reason I'm even considering it. I hate that notification. :laugh:

Do you know if you have the Camera2 API? The way you'd know is if camera apps like Footej let you set the shutter speed and manual focus control.
[Device Reviews and Information] pbosio:
I've downloaded Footej and neither of those two options appear, so I'm guessing there is no Camera2 API?
[Device Reviews and Information] BabayagaXD:
I wan to know if is an option to remove the encryption. Maybe flashing the update for a clean installation?
[Device Reviews and Information] Teblakuda4o4:
Anyone else getting real dark images from the front camera? And also my brightness doesn't increase until I've past 50% of the brightness slider. Also all screen gestures when display is off don't work for me.

MM root

do the steps on #2 work for rooting on MM update? or do i have to download new stuff?
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
Very dark image when using front camera on the built-in camera app. Using Open Camera app I'm getting the opposite. Very dark Image on main camera, good picture on front camera.

Using engineer mode to test both cameras they both work as they should.

Also phone is very sluggish, apps like instagram, facebook, amazon, etc take forever to load, and sometimes don't even load entirely. I'm gonna keep using it for a few days and see how it goes. But so far I'm not happy with it.

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

You need to use the Wiko Fever custom recovery. Do a systemless root. I didn't and I end up on a boot loop. Had to flash stock image using SP Flash tools and then upgrade and root again using systemless root.

hello everyone i just got the update to mm but after the update i cant use the camera, eveytime i open de camera app says "cant connect to camera" and force close
[Device Reviews and Information] gustavo76016:
but do i download the same custom recovery i used for Lollipop or do i download the MM one on the Wiko post?

Also, for systemless root do you just install the zip or what?

[Device Reviews and Information] pbosio:
I use MM custom recovery found here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63803008&postcount=5

And used Magisk for systemless root.

Remember that if you unlock the bootloader, first reboot it once before flashing recovery or you will find yourself in a bootloop
[Device Reviews and Information] gustavo76016:
I just booted on that twrp and installed the latest supersu beta and it worked, it turns out supersu is systemless by default.
[Device Reviews and Information] :
I've just updated to mm, when trying to root again I ran into a problem. I'm using adb and fastboot on my mac (don't have a windows computer) with the terminal; I cd to platform-tools and do ./adb or ./fastboot. When I try to flash recovery everything works fine but when I do fastboot reboot the terminal just hangs and the phone doesn't respond, this happens every time no matter the command I use; the second command never works. If i force shutdown the phone and then boot into recovery the stock recovery loads. And yes my bootloader is unlocked, i've checked with getvar all.

Any ideas how to fix this?
[Device Reviews and Information] gustavo76016:
Had the same issue, fixed it by booting into custom recovery instead of flashing it. To boot into custom recovery without flashing open a cmd prompt in the folder where you have the recovery img, then enter adb reboot bootloader, and then fastboot boot recovery.img
[Device Reviews and Information] :
Thank you very much!
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
This command was not present in the Android 5.1.1 build. If i would've know this, I wouldn't have flashed the custom recovery. Thanks a lot for sharing this :good:
[Device Reviews and Information] Teblakuda4o4:
does magisk work properly? ive only ever used supersu but i hear u can mask root on magisk
[Device Reviews and Information] pbosio:
Yeap, works like charm. I currently using it with the xposed port for magisk and all is working great.

You only need to install magisk from recovery and then install the magisk manager app and that's it, it comes with it own root system... I think it's called MagiskSU...

I've never used it before but, since I had to root the phone again after the update, I decided to give it a chance and I can't complain
[Device Reviews and Information] Teblakuda4o4:
After rooting and dealing with the unlocking bootloader and all that, my marshmallow is working better than it was atfirst somehow. All screen guestures and screen action work now.

I also install magisk. Havnt done xposed just yet.

Verdad? So then I need to learn about TWRP more. I'm still from the Clockwork days on my Galaxy S3, only recently came back to Android.

Ok, so there are some questions I don't get still even after reading this thread...

1. Being rooted on 5.1, if I let the update proceed, will it work or fail (apparently it failed for some people)?

2. With an updated MM, supposing it works, I'll be unrooted again. The same procedure for rooting on 5.1 will work for 6.0?

3. Assuming I can't get it rooted again, TWRP will be operational without root and allow me to reload my 5.1 backup NAND without problems?

Thanks if you can help, sorry I'm just not getting it. :)
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
On 6.0 is the same process, unlock bootloader, flash mm twrp, root by SuperSU

The only issue I have experienced since MM update (I did a clean update like ereasing system, data, boot partitions and flashing them again with the original firmware) is battery lifetime.

I used to charge my battery every two days, now I have to charge it every day and a half.

[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
Yeah, tried a lot of camera apps. All of them have the same low light problem, some on the front camera, others on the main camera, but not one app works okay with both cameras. Facebook, Instagram, Phhhhoto, Snapchat, etc. all have the same problem.

I reverted to Lollipop. After using MM for a week and reverting, I find Lollipop runs way better once you get rid of all the bloatware. Boots a lot faster too.
[Device Reviews and Information] Teblakuda4o4:
This fixes the front camera but the problem goes to the main camera.

Also, pictures you take with the front camera are mirrored for some reason.

Hey guys, here's the update.zip from yesterdays OTA if that helps anyone

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2CZ3MMXwkiZMGFRMldZSTlxSFk/view?usp=sharing

Also I applied the update on stock and then tried to install a custom recovery using this guide and it no longer works, after rebooting to recovery I just get a dead android with text saying no command. So update may break comparability with recoveries

*EDIT: Custom recoveries still work I was just installing the recovery wrong, after flashing custom recovery in fastboot you must reboot by holding volume-up and power button or the recovery will not install correctly*

If someone who took the OTA could give me the new stock recovery to flash so I can atleast have that I'd be grateful
[Device Reviews and Information] clu1688:
Hi Zdog291, when you see "no command" with a dead androud, did you try press the power button to bring up the menu? It worked on my stock bootloader.
[Device Reviews and Information] kwkbnk:
I reverted back to stock, unrooted and flashed stock recovery and the update installed perfectly fine. I was able to install twrp recovery and reroot following the guide with the exception of rebooting after flashing recovery. After flashing recovery you have to reboot by holding volume up + power until you see the Blu logo. If you reboot using the fastboot command the phone will rewrite stock recovery on first boot. By rebooting with the button combo it will boot directly to recovery. You can then reboot from recovery and the phone will boot normally without losing custom recovery.

Also i forgot to backup the new stock recovery so if someone could post it I would be grateful. Would like to have one hand in case I ever need it.
[Device Reviews and Information] aestylis:
I reverted to stock, full unroot via SuperSU, flashed stock recovery, downloaded update, and when I try to update it tells me "Your system was damaged, wireless update is disabled!.".
