Ok so I got this upgraded, rooted, etc to MM and now I have the annoying google search bar on the home screen. How the @#$% do I remove it? In the past you could hold down and it would let you remove it, not anymore it would seem but can't figure it out.

Probably a simple stupid thing that I am just missing...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nimzowitszch:
That search bar in the google now launcher is permanent, and i see two options; install a custom launcher like nova or root your device and use xposed to get rid of that search bar
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronne:
App manager from system, Stop and disable it, or Ccleaner or whatever software for managing system apps and search for "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox" or only "Google's app" app and disable it
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milander:
Alternatively you can always install another launcher to your liking...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePhoneGeek:
Thanks for the info everyone. I just disabled it for the time being, frustrating as I sometimes use the app but don't want it on my home screen, would just prefer to open it when I need it...

Thx

Nova, despite my love for it through my Desire S/SGS3/SG Note 3/Nexus 7 (2013) days, seemed to cause some performance slowdown and occasionally caused some issues unlocking my K1.

Considering the K1 appears to be a bit wobbly on stability it might have been a fluke but both times I've had Nova running, I've bumped into issues.

dead expert i am new bie i want to know about cmd and how to enable usb dubbing in any android device via cmd or any other sources any one can tell me full about the cmd

I am waiting expert plz help
[General Questions and Answers] joe2k01:
I think that you can't enable usb-debug from the shell because if the usb-debug isn't enabled before plugging in the phone in the pc you can't use the shell to do anything

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

To enable the usb-debug you need to go on the settings app and on developer option and tap on USB debugging

The BLU Vivo XL is a rebranded chinese phone known as the Gionee ELife S Plus. The Chinese version has 3GB ram while the US and South American version has 2GB. I am still waiting for my phone to arrive so I haven't tested this yet.

I have my vivo xl and just rooted it with KingRoot
[Blu Vivo XL] emowing:
Can you check to see if the bootloader is unlocked?
[Blu Vivo XL] eksasol:
There is an option in the developer options to enable OEM unlocking.

[Blu Vivo XL] rczrider:
BLU (Bold Like Us) rebrands Chinese phones. IIRC, their phones come from several different manufacturers. The Vivo XL just happens to be a Gionee.

Kingroot is sketch, but it gets the job done. Did you replace Kingroot using Super-Sume?
[Blu Vivo XL] ytcracka:
I thought KingRoot was pretty sketch with that purity scanner. I had no clue about Super-Sume. Thanks for the heads up and I will be giving it a shot. Thanks
[Blu Vivo XL] hamilLewiston:
i rooted mine using Purify & KingRoot. And installed root checker from google play. Root checker confirms the device is rooted.

first i ran the latest OTA update.

then ran purify

then ran kingroot.
[Blu Vivo XL] radiohead7778580:
Use terminal to remove kings root and install supersu
[Blu Vivo XL] hamilLewiston:
i unrooted back to stock. uninstalled kingroot, purify, rootchecker & did a factory reset to stock.

so the phone can be rooted and unrooted.

i'm going to keep unrooted because i'm not planning on modding the phone to install custom recoveries & roms
[Blu Vivo XL] the_rooter:
Yeah there is. It's in developer options.
[Blu Vivo XL] nxt:
I just killed my phone.

Used KingRoot then SuperSuMe. Everything working find with SuperSU. Went to reboot and it boots up into the animated colored logo. Then nothing.

I power off and back on and it stays at the black logo screen. That's it. Cleared cache, Data/Factory reset in stock recovery, same thing. BLU black logo on white screen. That's it. Nothing.
[Blu Vivo XL] eksasol:
Well you'll have to wait until there is a stock rom available. I don't root my phones until there is a way to install stock roms.

I wonder if someone will develop CM port to this, I'd be all over that.
[Blu Vivo XL] mhassan11x:
Hey did you guys end up figuring out how to boot back up? Same thing happened to me
[Blu Vivo XL] nxt:
Nope. Brought it back to Best Buy store and they refunded it, and re purchased through website with price adjustment back to $99. It's arriving on Monday again for me.

I'll wait to root now until someone figures it out properly.
[Blu Vivo XL] quyvinh:
Anyway can anyone upload the firmware image that downloaded for update? Thanks.

*** My phone is boot loop after rooted.
[Blu Vivo XL] medmansri:
Do you know where it would be located?
[Blu Vivo XL] the_rooter:
Is there a way to unlock bootloader? Sorry new to Blu phones and wondering if it's the same way as nexus the pen unlock and using fastboot
[Blu Vivo XL] quyvinh:
I guest root of sdcard, with file name update
[Blu Vivo XL] OldManJax:
How did you go about doing this?

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

I was able to unlock the bootloader by going in to dev options, checking OEM Unlock, and then booted in to fastboot and did the fastboot unlock through there.
[Blu Vivo XL] the_rooter:
I did that but now i am in a bootloop
[Blu Vivo XL] OldManJax:
Yeah I bootlooped my first phone, had to send it back and just got my new one in today. I have a feeling that they did some tricky stuff with these phones. It is going to take some time to get it all worked out.
[Blu Vivo XL] quyvinh:
FYI the bootloop softbrick, I have tried to sideload the update.zip file, it run through, but problem was NOT SOLVED, still bootloop.
[Blu Vivo XL] rczrider:
A step-by-step of commands for this would be appreciated!

Or maybe this method would work? http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html

After doing the OEM unlock, I think you need to go into fastboot to confirm the OEM unlock, then reboot. Only then will it truly be unlocked. See steps 1-5: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65245781&postcount=12
[Blu Vivo XL] quyvinh:
Of course you have to confirm in order to get unlock bootloader. Then the bootloop problem. This does not happen on Blu Life One X 2016.

Trust me, there are more than 2 people getting into this problem. And most (not all) of us here know what we are doing. Thanks for comment. Please post if you find out sth new.
[Blu Vivo XL] rczrider:
Perhaps I'm hearing a tone that isn't there, but I apologize if I offended you. I certainly didn't mean to imply that you didn't know everything. I've only got 5 years of rooting / ROMing under my belt and I was under the impression that the OEM unlock option in developer options was new as of Lollipop. Since the Vivo XL isn't exactly a flagship device, it seemed to me that many of the users might not be adb veterans. Clearly, I was mistaken. Again, my sincere apologies.
[Blu Vivo XL] quyvinh:
No need to sorry. This community is for sharing experience. I am doing same thing. BLU MUST has done sth on this phone. If unlock bootloader as normal way, it gonna get into bootloop. Do not know why. Even sideloading the update.zip does not help either. For now, there is no stock ROM for this phone released. Hope things will be better tomorrow.

Exchanged my phone, now I want to root it but do not know which is the best way. Any idea please?
[Blu Vivo XL] emowing:
[MENTION=1808003]quyvinh[/MENTION] glad you got your phone sorted out. Can you look into mtk droid tool and sp flash tool. Can you use SP flash tool to "readback" (backup) the phone and upload the rom? You shouldn't need root for this.

There are plenty of how to online. If you need me to link you one I can when I get home.
[Blu Vivo XL] eksasol:
So I also got bootloop after unlocking bootloader. I guess BLU doesn't want people to use custom roms.

You can flash this firmware. It's the same device, but oversea. http://firmwarefile.com/gionee-s-plus (click on see detailed instruction).

Boot the device from power off using the Volume Down button, you will still see the BLU logo looping, but if you check Device Manager, you will see an unknown "MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM" device, the driver is included in the firmware package.

There is one big problem, it uses different radio/modem, so after I flashed it I can only use it as a WiFi device.

The text file "MT6753_Android_scatter.txt" determine the partition to flash. Base on this guide http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/03/how-to-restore-lost-imei-on-any.html, the "secro" partition being replaced may be what caused the issue, so looked like that's what you need to uncheck before flashing.

I just flashed TWRP on this and found out you can backup the secro partition in it. It's too late for me, but maybe someone else can help. If you could get into TWRP, I would suggest backing up all the partitions. WRONG
[Blu Vivo XL] quyvinh:
Thanks a lot for sharing your progress. I got the replacement phone and just leave it like it is for now till someone find out best way to root and replace recovery with CWM / TWRP

BTW, you said you were able to flash TWRP. My question about this progress. You did it before or after softbrick (bootloop)? Do you need to unlock bootloader (mean you already in bootloop from now!)? And which file (Gionee one)? I want to make sure one thing, that it will be able to boot up into OS normal after install custom recovery.

*** Remember, once customer recovery can be installed, root and everything else are becoming easier.

Thanks for posting.
[Blu Vivo XL] eksasol:
The file I used was T6075.zip

It bootloop immediately after bootloader unlocking, so it's definitely something that BLU did.

I was not able to get jemmini TWRP to install correctly before I installed the Gionee firmware, it only worked afterward, but then it's too late. But after TWRP is installed, the Gionee OS boot normally.
[Blu Vivo XL] emowing:
go into your about device > status > imei info, does your it say unknown under the imei slot 1 and slot 2? If so i heard that the MTK engineering app can fix it. You might want to give it a try. If not your best bet is to exchange your device.
[Blu Vivo XL] xdadev_user11:
I flashed my phone and uncheck the "secro" partition and sim card don't work. Just a heads up.
[Blu Vivo XL] eksasol:
I think we'll just have to wait for a proper firmware.

I also tried flashing the secro from the Lite One X 2016 which have the same cpu and it didn't help. I couldn't get the MTK tool to work properly with this firmware for some reason.
[Blu Vivo XL] emowing:
I don't think secro is the partition that you want. I think the IMEI, wifi, and bluetooth info are stored in the NVRAM partition.

[MENTION=2168379]eksasol[/MENTION], [MENTION=4755529]xdadev_user11[/MENTION] have you guys tried this? http://androidmtk.com/use-sn-write-tool
[Blu Vivo XL] xdadev_user11:
John hale from the BLU Products Development Team google plus page uploaded a twrp recovery backup rom. I flashed it and the sim card works now.

Link for backup rom: https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B0g-ojj_rL70czVOZERhY3AxeHc/edit
[Blu Vivo XL] eksasol:
Thanks. My sim card worked after flashing it. I'm amazed I didn't somehow messed it up after flashing the nvram and secro from another device.
[Blu Vivo XL] grampyog:
Although I have been rooting for years this Vivo still surprises me. Your link points to files that have a " .win " extension. How exactly do you flash a " .win " file. You mention that it is a twrp flashable rom.
[Blu Vivo XL] grampyog:
Seems that I was overthinking this one. It turns out that my twrp backup had the same files as those listed as a cure. After downloading them I substituted them in my twrp folder. I then restored that backup. Alas the sim card still wasn't recognized.

Having successfully rooted with KingRoot and installing TWRP image with Flashify I had all my tools to fix the phone. I happened to have a 2nd Blu Vivo XL. I restored a twrp backup from the 2nd phone and all works perfectly.

If you brickerom-warning-please-read-unlock-t3313857d your phone trying to unlock it the SP_Flash_Tool did indeed unbrick the phone. All explained here:

You said kingroot works on this phone? I was thinking about getting it over the life one x. I just want root(i have 1 root app i use).
[Blu Vivo XL] mykrowsy:
Does anyone know where I can find a replacement screen for this device? I've looked everywhere and no luck.
[Blu Vivo XL] Rayan:
Same here, I've been rooting all my devices (LG, Samsung, Motorola, HTC) and none of them had lost root after a firmware upgrade. This sucks!

I guess we will have to wait for a dev to come up with a solution, however I think we are screwed because not even the original Gionee S Plus has been rooted yet.

Cheers!
[Blu Vivo XL] min1968:
Do you guys have stock recovery or TWRP for the 6.0 OTA?
[Blu Vivo XL] Rayan:
Not exactly sure I understand your question...

How is it possible to make a 6.0 TWRP backup if 6.0 was the one that broke root and removed TWRP in the process of updating?

I have a TWRP backup from before 6.0 though...

Cheers!
[Blu Vivo XL] min1968:
I was asking did you flash tWRP before. I have tWRP recovery now, but last time, even I flashed back to stock recovery and image, I still cannot do OTA update.

When you were doing OTA update, did you restore to stock recovery?
[Blu Vivo XL] Rayan:
OK gotcha!

Well in my case yes, I did a TWRP backup before the update, but I received 6.0 even while rooted. However I was still using my stock rom, only thing I did was debloat it.

Cheers ?

Right now I have the GS3 on VM model L710VPUCNJ3. I am running CM12.1 (LP 5.1.1 ) and need to return to stock for insurance claim and repair of the phone. I downloaded L710VPUDNJ2 tar due to the fact I was told my CMW backup was incomplete http://imgur.com/v1vgGPJ compressed into image.zip file If someone could please confirm this recovery would not work to return to stock?

My other question the big one, I read somewhere that I can't find now that to go from 5.1.1 to 4.4.2 I would need to do some type of system format due to some file structure changes? Is this correct if so what option in CMW needs to be done to make this functional? Please any info to help
