You should always have your imei backed up.

Flash all the partitions in the scatter.

Flash user data. You're formating everything anyway.
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:
I know that, but will I need to restore it?
[Device Reviews and Information] psychoTR2:
Uh oh. Which partition is the IMEI stored in? I have the sticker with the numbers on it, I assumed I needed to use a tool to restore it. I do have a full TWRP backup of my old LP rom with everything included, so if its in there, I'm fine!
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:
Saw a few posts ago that people used an app called miraclebox for the backup/restore of imei
[Device Reviews and Information] psychoTR2:
Yeah, I tried to find it, but I can't find an actual website to get it from. Only shady cracked versions. I know juancollado mentioned it. Do you happen to know the legit source, Juan?

Need help installing TWRP and rooting

Try TWRP to install supersu but stuck at boot logo.
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
What version of supersu?
[Device Reviews and Information] kyawmaw:
I tried with beta 2.52, 2.68, 2.72 and 2.76 may be my TWRP problem. I use TWRP_Wiko_Fever_M. I tried with BLOX TWRP 3.0.2.1 nothing work.
[Device Reviews and Information] Teblakuda4o4:
hey Guys :D

So in about an hour (after the factory blu firmware downloads : Courtesy SCrid2000 thx btw), i am going to try installing Fever MM. Before i begin, is it confirmed that after restoring secro and preloader images that you recover base bands and imei.

thanks

Edit: Nvm the question i found my answer
[Device Reviews and Information] Ditchmond:
Hi, I've been using this phone for the past 2 months. Lately, I'm having a heck of a time dealing with the 16GB of memory. When I check my storage, it seems that "system memory" is taking up abut 3GB of space. How can I find out what this usage is for?
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
System Memory is just the system apps. No apps installed from the store or user data occupy space there. Only apps that you need to force uninstall using root privileges. I have converted plenty of apps to system apps (mostly google apps) and I barely get to 2.6 GB

The Data partition (user data) which is about 11.1GB in size is where apps and data is stored, unless you booted with a fat32 formatted MicroSD installed on the initial setup. Then part of that user data is linked to the SD Card in a somewhat hybrid storage which sums the 11.1GB Data Partition and whatever GB size SD you have.
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:
Try using an app called link2sd
[Device Reviews and Information] Teblakuda4o4:
I installed Fever MM 20 mins ago and it is still booting up (first Boot), should i be worried?
[Device Reviews and Information] DevBurrito:
Yes... It's probably in a bootloop. Hold the power button for 30 secs to shut phone down and reflash. You probably forgot to replace preloader and secro
[Device Reviews and Information] Teblakuda4o4:
Yea it was stuck and i already restored to back to LP. The strange thing is i did replace serco and preloader in the FEVER SE files. Any other suggestions on why i failed?
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
Sometimes I would have to hold the power button until it rebooted after the initial flash to get it to boot up. Try that before you try reflashing.
[Device Reviews and Information] Teblakuda4o4:
After i realized the inital boot was stuck, i shut it down using longpress power and restarted it. That didnt work as it still got stuck. then i tried factory reseting it but that still didnt help.
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:

Will this restore the Blu bands on the Fever Marshmallow rom?
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
I got blu bands on fever LP, now I'm trying to do the same on MM, I can't boot after flash Wiko TWRP MM
[Device Reviews and Information] retsen444:
You have install the updated img of the wiko mm rom. That can be done by just updating the rom in general. I hope you or someone else can get to do things in there. For changing the bands you need to change the modem.img. Sadly the wiko rom haves more than 1 modem.img. anither way to change the bands its by replacing the whole nvdat_data folder on the nvram folder. Sadly that will only change the 3g bands to the ones of the us. But it will not do anything to the lte.

I want to mention too that some time ago, before the news were posted here, i got the oportunity of checking the elephone p8000 mm rom. For those who want to try it you are going to need the boot.img of the wiko mm rom and for installing the recovery for that rom you would need the updated version of that boot.img. after getting that img you would need all the rest of the original stuff of the blox. You can flash it with the latet spft. That rom does not detect the sim cards and haves camera issues.

I hope all people in here find this info. useful and can get something done with a mm rom.

Both cameras register as 5MP

Screeching noise pops every once in a while

Sensors not working

interestingly enough, gyroscope is detected, so the BLOX may have the hardware after all, and it may have been simply not implemented on the software
[Device Reviews and Information] bryceton:
sorry that this is kinda off topic for this forum..

The build quality of this phone leaves much to be desired.

My Power button fell out, and got lost.

I tried asking blu if they sold the part, but they didnt even bother responding.

any chance anyone have a solution.

Not a big fan of double touch/password..
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
I've had my power button fall off twice, both times I was lucky enough to find it again. It's definitely pretty shoddy, it's just held on by two pieces of rubber that stick out on the top and bottom.
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
Try to get the silicone case so everything holds in place
[Device Reviews and Information] bryceton:
to solve my problem i ended up downloading volume power app. It actually solved two major problems for me. The glitch of ramdom slow downs on the phone stopped for me when running the program. Now everything is super fast ( though larger battery drain)
[Device Reviews and Information] yourrealking:
CM 12.1 is interesting because I have heard that it would probably never be able to run CM from someone before.

But according to elbastardo, that version seems to me quite unusable. I do wish someone with knowledge would fix the problems. Running CM on Life One X would be really great.
[Device Reviews and Information] anamous90:
Does this method work for Blu Life One XL? or only Blu Life One X?
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
There's very few people who do any development for mediatek processors, that's the reason it's unlikely we'll ever have a fully working custom rom.

I would be very surprised if it works on the XL. I personally wouldn't try it unless you're comfortable restoring your phone when it won't boot.
[Device Reviews and Information] yourrealking:
Is this because it is particularly difficult to develop for mediatek processors compared to other processors, or because devices which have mediatek processors are not popular?
[Device Reviews and Information] juancollado2003:
Have anyone tested gyroscope on BLOX or Wiko?

[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
I think because they are not that popular. The Amazon Fire, which is MediaTek, has received a lot of development because of it's popularity.

You could restore from a backup using TWRP. If don't have one of your own making, someone posted a twrp backup after updating the software. Find that in this thread and restore.

[Device Reviews and Information] Sandeep5303:
BLOX users may try this who flashed MM Wiko fever SE and getting bands issue...m not sure whether it will work or not...just give a try

1.Reflash the ROM again by replacing Wiko's secro.IMG and preloaded.bin with blox IMG and bin

2.After flashing, boot the phone into stock recovery mode(by pressing volume up+power), wipe data / factory reset

3. Wipe cache then remove the battery and slot back in

4. Reboot the phone

Hope it will work...but m not sure...just give a try and report me :)
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
Cache and data are wiped when you flash. Wiping them a second time will not do anything.

Not that people can't try it, but Ill be shocked if it changes anything.

Also, the battery is not removable.
[Device Reviews and Information] joeybear23:
Just an FYI - if you have CWM or TWRP, take a moment to create a new backup of yoru working ROM. Today I ran into an issue where my phone stopped receiving calls. It would just hot-reboot anytime a call would come in. Wiping cache+dalvik did not good, a full wipe of the system, etc.. still no good. The only fix was to restore a backup from TWRP, but unfortunately I had to restore to someone else's backup because I did not have one. After I finish rebuilding/reinstalling I will take a new backup to save myself some pain...
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
Same thing happened to me two weeks ago. Twice (I was using titanium Backup to restore user/system data). I figured out it was the ringtone what was causing the reboot. Also, latest version of Gravity Box is giving problems. It reset my phone a few times, where all user apps were gone, but system data was still there. Downgraded to previous and I no longer have issues
[Device Reviews and Information] joeybear23:

Guys here another way to fix band...still m saying i dont know whether it will work or not...i just hope it will work...especially [MENTION=4132835]SCrid2000[/MENTION] try it

1- Download this zip

2- Now in your blox stock rom, open root explorer go to /data/nvram/md/here

3- now copy the folder named NVD_IMEI and NVD-DATA and paste it to your memory card and then to your pc

4- now open the above downloaded zip in winrar in pc

5- now in the winrar open the folder data/nvram/md you will find the same named folders..yes they are empty

6- Now just drag and drop the files from the NVD_IMEI and NVD_DATA(which u got from ur phone) to the opened zip file

7- now flash the zip by twrp or cwm

Hope it works...i try my best :)

Those who cant find the folders see the below screenshot

My proximity sensor now seems to not be working. When I am on a call with the phone to my ear, the screen stays on... any ideas?
[Device Reviews and Information] elbastardo1:
use CPU X or something similar to verify and test sensor. Readings should be 1.0 cm open or 0.0 cm closed.

If it reads ok, then the problem is software related. try a dalvik\cache wipe first and check.

If there is no reading, it still could be a software issue, but that will be more difficult to diagnose
[Device Reviews and Information] joeybear23:
So I have tried multiple proximity sensor apps to be sure, but all are showing that it is in place and working, so it mustbe software related, I'm assuming my phone/dialer app (it' sthe stock one)

A cache/dalvik wipe did not resolve it.

Ideas?

Anyone that's still running LP have their Adaptive brightness stuck on full bright? Using Light sensor apps I've noticed on my phone it gets stuck on 1000 lx even when in a dark room. One work around I found (besides rebooting using Quick Boot) is to actually flash the light sensor with a flashlight so it reads a higher lux. For some reason this "unstucks" the adaptive brightness and it goes down to normal. Hope this helps.

It is really easy to fix the no sim card problem and getting signal on the rom. If anyone can fix the camera we can post a fully working CM rom.
[Device Reviews and Information] SCrid2000:
What does it take to detect networks?
[Device Reviews and Information] retsen444:
Replace the entire firmware folder.

Delete the nv data and nvram.

Let the rom recreate those things.

Replace the imei file with the one of the original vnram

Now you should have full lte signal with the us bands.

It is very easy once you start doing it.

Btw you can delete the nv ram and nv data by deleteing all the stuff from your phone from the recovery.

Good luck.

And i hope someone gets to repare the camera.

I had tryed to repare it but i had not be able to do it.

I already repared all the rest of the bugs.

Only that one missing.

And i ported the kernel from the blox for eliminating some bugs too.
