Yes. There are others in the wiko thread that were complaining of being stuck at the boot logo after flashing the marshmallow twrp. I don't really care about twrp, I just want root. Kingroot didn't work either.
[Device Reviews and Information] j3cool:
I've also noticed that several sensors are not working with the wiko 6.0 ROM. Accelerometer, gravity, and magnetic sensors are not working.
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
You can root with the tool I posted for repair imei
[Device Reviews and Information] mantarkus:
Nop.
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:
Sure, although since this is my main phone after I dropped my iPhone, I'll need slightly more detailed instructions on how to flash the ROM, as I really don't want to mess it up, and SPflashtool is a little bit more dangerous than a zip. Feel free to PM me!

Does any one have a backup of the stock recovery of their BLOX? I made a complete back up after installing twrp, sadly I cant install the ota without stock recovery ( the ota is from Jan I think)
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
I think page 13 if I'm not mistaken.

Otherwise use the stock image which was uploaded and it's lingering around here as well. Be warned that even with stock recovery, if you are rooted you may not be able to install the update. At least I couldn't until I unrooted.
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
If you just want the recovery, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64825427&postcount=59

If you want the whole OS (which you might need, because TWRP replaces some system files to stop the OS from overwriting it with the stock recovery), http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65064353&postcount=128

Hello. I really want to install the 6.0 Fever SE ROM but I cannot fathom as to where to begin to install it with a functioning camera and LTE bands. I'm running stock ROM V14 with TWRP as my recovery.
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
If you're in the US, AFAIK there's no fix yet to get US LTE bands working on the Wiko Marshmallow rom.
[Device Reviews and Information] pennhaven:
If you search back a few months, you'll see that another poster provides a clean TWRP backup of the device after installing the OTA and rooting but before adding account info and apps. So you can back up your apps and data using Titanium, restore his TWRP backup, install Titanium and finally restore your apps and data. Final result - you have the same configuration as before, but with the OTA. It worked for me.
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
Could this be the reason why BLU dropped the Marshmallow update?

On amazon the BLOX was listed as fully compatible with AT&T, now it's listed only as 3G

Though I have AT&T and I have no problems getting 4G LTE
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
Very unlikely that Blu didn't provide marshmallow because of this, [MENTION=3737127]juancollado2003[/MENTION] was able to unlock the Blu bands on the Fever marshmallow build so Blu could certainly do so. My guess is they dropped the marshmallow update because they were expecting the manufacturer to provide it, and the manufacturer never did.
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
To Swap bands just need to swap nv files before flashing the entire firmware, flash always download + format
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:
How exactly would one go about "swapping the nv files"?
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
From original BLOX firmware
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
I think he meant where do you get the file (is it the \nvdata folder, or \data\nvram, or another folder/file?) and how do we swap it (overwrite with a file manager and set permissions to 644?). Or do we just flash the twrp zip you posted a few weeks ago and then do download + format with the SP Flash Tool? Thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
I said before flash, using sptools
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
Oh ok. So backup nvdata and nvram partitions using dd, edit the scatter file to include them when we flash the rom, and then flash it all via SP Flash Tool.

I will try that. Thank you again.
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:

Hey does anyone have a backup of stock nvram data for US bands?

Edit: Also does anyone know how to extract the Wiko Fever SE from the link [MENTION=4474983]vokal1992[/MENTION] posted?
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:
Great News Guys!! I believe I have been able to successfully modify the system.img from the wiko fever se MARSHMALLOW rom to get BASEBAND. Although im not sure if the imei's will work or not, so besure to back those up, when you are ready to flash this. HOWEVER, before I recompile the system.img, I need to know whether the imgs used in spflashtool are in sparse or raw format, I am assuming they are in sparse format, so I have already packed them as such. Just need some extra confirmation. When I receive this I will upload! Cheers!
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
Did you copy the contents of /etc/firmware from the blu system to the fever one? If you did, I may just replicate what you did instead of downloading (I'm stuck on centurylink getting 3Mbps until my contract is up in September).

The system unpack tool (http://xdaforums.com/android/help/extract-dat-marshmallow-lollipop-easily-t3334117) detects the blu system.img as a sparse image, so that's probably what it is.

Stock nvram (I think, IIRC I pulled this off the first BLOX I had that ended up dying back in January): http://www.mediafire.com/download/ys9w39lfwz3p798/nvram.img. But I think that the secro.img will generate you a clean nvram and nvdata on boot if you format all + download with the spflashtool.
[Device Reviews and Information] disleyxc:
Thanks alot! Really helped. Now I am faced with the problem of flashing the Fever SE Rom. Whenever I flash it and it finishes I try and boot it up and it will not boot. Is there a specific way to flash the Rom? Can anyone help me with this part? Thanks so much for the help guys!!:D:D
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
The way that worked best for me was to replace the preloader and secro files in the wiko installer and use that to install the rom. I lost IMEI and only had the fever bands though.
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
You can unlock 3g bands restoring nvdata only, lte bands depends on nvram but needs to flash from fastboot
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:
I also replaced some more files, in order to give better experience. I posted he link to the tutorial I used a few posts back :highfive:. I'll upload soon and peeps will be able to test it out. I hope it works :fingerscrossed:
[Device Reviews and Information] disleyxc:
So I flashed the nvram to the Blox firmware and now I cannot get US LTE bands. Does anyone have a backup of the nvram that has the US LTE bands unlocked?
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
Nvram

Use this Scatter to flash nvdata at your own risk with sptools

[Device Reviews and Information] elix9000:
Here you go, it's in a zip file all you have to do is unzip it and copy it to your phone, If you need further help let me know. The back up is only nvdata and nvram btw and make sure you have a way to restore Imei, unfortunately I can't assist with that

[Device Reviews and Information] psychoTR2:
Hey, guys! Hate to be a bother, but this whole situation with the Wiko Fever Marshmallow ROM is massively confusing, and I'm not even a noob! I read over everything and I'm just lost :(

So, I just had a few questions:

Do we have basebands and imei figured out?

Is there anyone who can kinda lay things out, not really step by step, but just to know which tools to use for what? Basically, how to install the thing.

I hate to be annoying, but I'd really like to test this ROM out with you guys, and I don't even know where to start O.o

Thanks in advance.
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
Here's my understanding of it:

The rom can be flashed onto the BLOX, after which your BLOX will be fully functional as a Wiko Fever Special Edition phone. This means that you will only have the Fever LTE bands, which are not compatible with US carriers. Everything I have tried to get the BLOX LTE bands to work on the Fever rom has not worked. Some users have claimed success in getting the BLOX bands working by flashing the BLOX nvram and/or nvdata partitions onto the Fever rom, but that has not worked for me.
[Device Reviews and Information] psychoTR2:
I see. And all this flashing would be done with SP Flash Tools, correct?
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
Yes.
[Device Reviews and Information] psychoTR2:
Awesome, thanks!

Now for anyone who has successfully restored IMEI and Baseband: what I'm thinking of doing is making a TWRP backup of my nvdata and nvram, copying it over to my computer so it's not deleted when I flash the Wiko 6.0 ROM. Then, I'd flash the MM TWRP, copy over my TWRP backup and restore my nvdata and nvram. Should that theoretically work?
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
It didn't work when I tried it, but it's worth trying again I suppose.
[Device Reviews and Information] psychoTR2:
OK, I have a problem. My stupid butt decided to use to exe that came with the zip to install the ROM, and now my computer lists the device as Unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). SPFlashTool doesn't detect it, and it doesn't respond to the power button. Is there a way to recover, or am I hard bricked?

EDIT: I thought it'd be the same be cause the whole worked on SPFlashTool, like the Wiko installer was just a graphical front-end. Feel like a complete chump :/
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
Oh sorry, you need to use the secro and preloader from the original Blu firmware (http://xdaforums.com/general/device...one-x-2016-t3287428/post65064353#post65064353) when you flash it. You can use the Wiko tool to do it, in fact that's what I used when I got the Wiko bands working, but you'll need to replace those two files.

As far as restoring where you are now, that's easy. Run spflashtool, click download and format, connect the usb cable with vol+ pressed. It will connect and flash whatever you're trying to install.
[Device Reviews and Information] psychoTR2:
Alright! I'm not at home anymore, so I'll have to wait a few hours (anxiously). This makes sense, and I'll definitely try it ASAP! If I could click thanks more than once...
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
Something similar happened to me, just press vol- and power for a few seconds or in my case take apart the phone and disconnect battery to force shutdown
[Device Reviews and Information] psychoTR2:
I tried the other suggestions and nothing seems to work, so I'm gonna have to disconnect the battery :( I have the back cover open, but how can I disconnect the battery safely?
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
There's a flex cable on top side of the battery, just unplug it and flash with battery disconnected, replace the files suggested or flash stock BLOX
[Device Reviews and Information] psychoTR2:
OK. Which one? Does it need a specific tool? And do I have to remove the battery to get to it? I peeled it a little, but I'm afraid of going all the way.

EDIT: By pressing and holding Vol- and Power multiple times, I somehow managed to get it to appear as COM6, a Mediatek USB Modem. Flash Tools detected it, but nothing would flash.
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
Sptools, restore original BLOX firmware
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:
U probably need to just reinstall USB vcom drivers m8. And to fully shut down phone you need to hold down the power button for 30 seconds, that's it! [MENTION=5382553]psychoTR2[/MENTION]

OK, I successfully installed Marshmallow by replacing the Wiko secro and preloader with the BLOX secro and preloader, and flashing with SPFlashtool with the Wiki scatter file. Now, to work on the base bands and imei. I seem to get 3G and HSPA alright, but if I can at least get 4G, I'd be a happy camper! What's worked for you guys?

EDIT: Also, I have a TWRP backup of my nvram and nvdata that I wanted to use, but whenever I try to install the Wiko MM TWRP, I get a DRAM error.
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
I didn't have any trouble flashing the marshmallow twrp via fastboot after unlocking the bootloader, so I don't know what to tell you there. Maybe flash it via spflashtool? Keep in mind that after you flash the recovery you have to boot into it first, if you boot into system it will overwrite the recovery.
[Device Reviews and Information] psychoTR2:
Oh, I didn't think to flash it in fastboot. I'll have to try it later. Thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:
It would be great if you could post the exact steps you took to achieve this :highfive:
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
There you go :)

Edit to make things easier:

1. Backup the secro and preloader from your BLOX, or get them from http://xdaforums.com/general/device...one-x-2016-t3287428/post65064353#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

5. run spflashtool

6. install the fever rom (with the two blu files substituted) as download+format
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:
Ok that seems simple enough, but in order to avoid any hitches (I DO NOT want to mess this up, as this is my main phone for now), I'll go ahead and ask a few questions:

1. Do I need to back up imei, if so how would I do so?

2. Are there any partitions I shouldn't flash?

3. On that same note, can I get away with not flashing userdata?

Thanks in advance! Cheers! :highfive:

would rooting the phone help at all with improving battery life? would like to try before returning
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
Possibly, but before you try anything else I would recommend doing a wipe and running it for a day or two before you install a bunch of apps. It's always possible that something in there is causing problems.
[Device Reviews and Information] gruiz3:
My battery drain was pretty light, one charge got me through two days including two full setups. The second setup was root and redo my setup. I didn't do xposed but i did do busybox, v4a. So I was at 30ish percent this morning and decided to murder the battery. So I watched dbz at full brightness. When i hit 15 percent they were gone in minutes. So i think the last 15 percent is really like 3 percent. It dropped in less than a minute. As soon as the battery saver prompt hit it was super quick on drain.
[Device Reviews and Information] kicker19:
so you never had problems with the battery?

i might just go ahead and return it for a replacement.

what color is your phone?

today i took the phone of the charger at 100 and it died 3 percent in a minute and the battery was fine after that
[Device Reviews and Information] gruiz3:
I've only had the phone for three days or so. I took it off the charger and it hit 99 percent. I don't have a long enough history to judge the overall battery capability. I plan to work the **** out of it on my days off. And check charging speed with several chargers, 1a, 1.8a, 2a 15w and 25w turbo chargers and 2a samsung s6 charger. But that will all take a while. Ive just been using a trusty 1a charger i have. Slow charger, but so far a manageable trade off for the longevity. I'll check sot and other stats when i can get two full discharge/charge cycles.

I wouldn't suggest using tempered glass for this phone because the edges are rather curved. I got a tempered glass for the Wiki fever from ebay but even though the cut looked great, the sides wouldn't adhere, leaving a "halo" along the edges. Maybe you'll have better luck with a more expensive brand but I'm now happy with the provided screen protector and the window case.
