[Blu Pure XL] Short Circuit:
Oops, thought you meant that you assumed fastboot only flashed boot and recovery images. My bad!

The scatter files were new and odd to me as well, but I guess it's how MediaTek/China flashes to phones.

Try again when you wake up from a good night's sleep to clear your mind of hardbricking worries. Since a MediaTek VCOM port is appearing and disappearing, that means your phone is still only softbricked and just bootlooping (without display, for some odd reason). I haven't encountered that yet, but I'm pretty sure there's still a chance to save it.

I can't remember if I used a volume + power key combination to flash my phone, but try tbirdguy's suggestion of clicking "Download" on SP Flash Tool booting with Vol Down + Power to boot your phone.
[Blu Pure XL] brownfox96:
I was talking about SP flash tool, I was just asking when I use it, do I turn my phone off or leave it on? And do I only flash system or do I flash system, recovery and boot? (My works and it's a allure condor atm)
[Blu Pure XL] tbirdguy:
I flashed all 3 with sp flash tool,

then updated via "wireless update" from BLU to get newest patches,

then used fastboot to flash TWRP

then used TWRP to flash super SU
[Blu Pure XL] brownfox96:
Do I just turn my phone off or do something to it before I turn it off?
[Blu Pure XL] Alexis96312:
Okay I hear noise from my computer meaning it still bootloping I think

I try it now but still. It hard like a nut

The SP Tool doesn't show error once it 100% with a red bar and it taking a long time.

I have hear about SN Write tool what is that?
[Blu Pure XL] brownfox96:
I had the same error with problem with SP tool, what I had to do was hold vol +, vol-, and power button all at the same time, and I held those buttons in till the red bar changed to the yellow bar then you can let go, (if when you let go at this point try holding the power button, you can let go of the vol + and vol- at this point.

Can someone please answer my question lol

Do I turn off my phone when I use SP flash tool or leave it on?
[Blu Pure XL] tbirdguy:
i start with my phone OFF

hit download button on SP Flash

then hold vol -

connect USB

see red line 1st (and quicker)

let go of buttons on phone

wait till yellow finishes

profit

If the Yellow line takes forever go into the options in SP FLASH under connection and switch to high speed instead of full speed, speeds up DRASTICALLY
[Blu Pure XL] brownfox96:
Yeah i fixed it earlier today, :DDDDDDD

THANKS SOOOOO MUCH FOR THE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Blu Pure XL] tbirdguy:
Glad my help wasnt to FLAWED

LOLOLOL!!!!!

Glad you are back up and working
[Blu Pure XL] brownfox96:
LOL I'm sorry xD
[Blu Pure XL] Alexis96312:
Why does this happen?
[Blu Pure XL] Short Circuit:
Are you flashing the correct files for your model, and not for the Gionee phone? I haven't tried yet myself, but even if those files work, you shouldn't be experimenting with them while trying to unbrick your phone.

Have you booted Windows with Driver Signature Enforcement disabled?

Have you used USBDeview to remove all devices related MediaTek before you plugged in your phone?
[Blu Pure XL] tbirdguy:
wrong scatter?
[Blu Pure XL] Ashalinia:
I had this problem when my device would connect and disconnect repeatedly via USB (wouldn't power on, Windows got confused when it was plugged in.) I just stopped the download, unplugged the phone, started again, and plugged the phone back in and it worked.
[Blu Pure XL] Alexis96312:
I finally fix my device.

Thank You guys for the program and scatter file

Thank to all of you.

How to fix a Brick device

Start download file

Quickly Press volume + and - ((same time)) before ((connecting ))

Then connect the device to computer

then you should see a com34 I think

it will disconnect and automatic connect back to a com35 it will download from there

If it doesn't work try holding the

Volume - and + ((Same Time)) for 4 second

Once it connect

Let go the volume -

Keep holding the volume + then should see a yellow bar

Help please

So I followed the instructions correctly and now my BLU phone is starting up with a gionee instead of blu and the boot animation is Blu so its 2 different images i guess and the only reason I used this method was because my phone kept randomly turning off after i unrooted it and it wouldn't stay on or startup into the boot animation unless plugged into a usb. So its still doing the same thing even after I've flashed and done all this. I'd at least like to have back the Blu powered by android image back on the device so I could try and use the warranty because I've lost all hope in trying to fix this device. Please help me out here or tell me what i need to do as soon as possible. My email is julianirizarry44@gmail.com contact me there if you can help, and I will be checking this thread as well for any replies
[Blu Pure XL] Short Circuit:
Did you follow what's bolded in these steps before you moved onto their proceeding steps?
[Blu Pure XL] TheRealJJ:
Well i did follow the instructions as told and made sure everything was unchecked. and installed them like the directions told me to do. still i get the gionee powered by android and Blu boot animation and then it shuts down 2 secs after the boot animation begins because it still needs a usb cable to even reach the home screen. and even then the device is even further messed up than before as doing all this has caused the launcher to not work and it keeps saying "carefree launcher has stopped working" and I cant do anything else
[Blu Pure XL] Short Circuit:
Can you follow the instructions again to flash the stock boot image, TWRP recovery, as well as this logo image onto your phone?

After you've done that, see if the logo is back to normal, and if it will boot normally into the system.

If it still doesn't boot normally, do what you can to try to boot into TWRP recovery with Vol+ & Power button combo, then go to Wipe > Swipe to Factory Reset.

After that go to Advanced > Fix Permissions > Swipe to Confirm, reboot your device and see if your situation gets any better.
[Blu Pure XL] TheRealJJ:
so I tried it again. this time it worked, device unplugged now and updating system. was able to get into the home screen and am now updating the software, but i still need a usb for the device to not turn off randomly (and it lies about the battery life) and to startup the device again which is the main problem as to why i wanted to do this in the first place. gonna try and update the software though while its plugged in to see if that will change anything. other than that the device is back to factory.

UPDATE: updated device now. still doesnt work without usb plugged in or charging. maybe its the battery? battery percent changes each time i load and now after the update it shuts off after a while whilst still plugged in
[Blu Pure XL] Short Circuit:
Have you maybe exposed your phone to excessive shock before (ie dropped it one or more times)? Your symptoms seem to lead to some sort of internal issue like the battery being faulty, but unless you've physically tampered with the battery like someone else on this forum actually did, it might not be the case.
[Blu Pure XL] bakuri:
I think TWRP messed up with my device's partitions, cause not even fastboot can write system on or erase userdata of it, what can I do? Heeeeelpp please.
[Blu Pure XL] bemolx:
Bootloader is semi-locked in BLU Pure XL and we can't simply flash system/userdata images via fastboot. The only way to flash them is by using SP Flash Tool. You don't need to worry about your partitions.

Sent from Nexus 5
[Blu Pure XL] bakuri:
but what caused my device to bootloop was try to factory reset it via TWRP and I've tried SP all over night and morning and no go, only way I get yellow bar is with full speed set but even after letting it flash for 1 hour until shows OK, it stays the same
[Blu Pure XL] ariot:
This is a wonderful guide. Thanks to OP, Short Circuit.

I had to do some things slightly differently to unbrick my phone and I feel that may help some people.

Initially I followed all the steps and was able to unbrick my phone. After this I rooted it and installed version 3.0 TWRP. This TWRP took over 15 minutes to wipe my phone and then had errors at every next step. (Apps closing etc.) After wasting several hours, I decided to go back to the SP flash tool using the guide in this thread. Maybe because my phone was not fully bricked, when I tried these steps as written again, my phone then became bricked and will not come on past the Goinee logo. In frustration at some point I decided to flash the Gionee rom and scatter files as well as all the files included in the scatter file. That means, I did not try to replace the boot, recovery and system images with the Pure XL versions. I also left the downloaded checkbox on and downloaded everything Gionee into my phone. That worked and I then had a stable rom on my phone. After this, I rooted the phone and installed ver. 2.8 TWRP, and then flashed the March 15 rom by Kuro Sangui under Blu Pure XL General section. These steps brought my phone back to near 100%. I still have the Gionee logo showing up briefly when I reboot, and I know I can flash that, but I don't care enough to go near the SP flash tool anytime soon. Battery life is much better with the March 15 rom compared to the one that came with the phone when I bought it in October 2015. Wireless also appears to be faster.
[Blu Pure XL] tbirdguy:
I also use TWRP 2.8, 3 has issues corrupting partitions with my phone;

here's a link to the BLU logo.bin to flash with sp flash

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzZv_djkMENjV0NTbzZONVdnbEk

I agree with everything you posted; Ive done it very similar a few times now

(after realizing twrp 3.0 was causing issues then reflashing with sp flash...

also I found nandroid backups flashed via twrp 2.8 get you back up fast too...

just my 2 cents
[Blu Pure XL] saulk1:
Can't Flash

Thanks guys for everything.

My Pure XL is "bricked" because my backup from TWRP got screwed, and gave me the error 255 so i end up with my system partition completely wiped and somehow my bootloader seems to be locked (it says "the function had been switched off for private information secure, forced open would be at risk") although i cannot make sense of how that happened, as i obviously had it unlocked as i have used adb to flash twrp in the first place.. will this method work if i cant get my phone into bootloader mode?

Lastly, i still have a twrp, so is there any way to salvage the phone through it?

Thanks so much guys, i appreciate whatever help you can give :)
[Blu Pure XL] tbirdguy:
that warning comes up no matyter what; your boot loader isnt locked... flash twrp with via adb and you should be able to flash the zip
[Blu Pure XL] Eldarik:
Hi,

I've sent in my allview x2 xtreme phone for repair and got it back with a system image built in may 2016, which i did not receive OTA before.

I then flashed TWRP, booted into recovery and installed SuperSU zip.

After this, my phone did not boot anymore. It went past the Allview logo and stayed with black screen.

Bootloader and recovery were no longer accessible too.

I then followed this guide nad flashed System, Recovery and Boot Image from the Allview package.

SP tool did it's job and the green checkmark showed up. Now my phone is bootlooping, but only with the manufacturer logo showing up. No bootanimation starts.

What else can i try to do? Flash the whole Gionee G8 package included with SP flash tool and afterwards re-flash System/boot/recovery from the Allview package?

Is there any chance to pick the wrong SP flash tool package? As there is one labelled T5807 and one with T5391. Which one is the right one?

Thanks,

Clemens
[Blu Pure XL] Short Circuit:
I personally have and use Gionee_E8_0301_T5807_(by_firmwarefile.com).zip. I can only guess that the different numbers are maybe for different ROMs built on different dates, or one is a ROM with a newer OTA installed.

Can you use SP Flash Tool to re-flash the Allview's stock boot.img and system.img, along with TWRP recovery.img, then boot into TWRP and clear the cache and dalvik, then attempt to boot into the system?

Let me know how it goes, thanks.
[Blu Pure XL] Rommsey:
Thank you very much for your detailed instructions. If I may offer one tip for the instructions. If you are not able to have SPFlash start properly, leave the screen open with it running and power-cycle your phone. It will detect the change and start the download sequence.

If I may request from the community.

Does anyone have the OTA updates downloaded for sharing? I am not able to update stock due to a network error and so I was going to try a manual install.
[Blu Pure XL] TheLastCanadian:
If I just want to factory restore a working BLU Pure XL, am I able to simply flash those 3 .img files, without using SPflash?

BLU Pure XL boot.img, recovery.img, system.img

I know rooting by the Nexus tradition, but... it's considerably less involved. TWRP 3.0.2.6 is not loading my md5 verified backup I made. Would I be better to flash the older version of TWRP from Acheron and try that?

Edit: Nvmd, using the older TWRP restored the backup without issue.

Após ROM

Bom dia, apos formatação e instalação no meu BLU Pure XL concluimos que o problema está na bateria, mesmo assim estou com algumas questoes a serem resolvidas, vejam se podem me ajudar:

1) Fiz atualizacao com o arquivo T5807, mas apos instalacao e atualizacao nao tive opcao para liguagem em portugues, a atualização T5391 tem essa opcao? se nao, como faço para ajustar isso?

2)IMEI, ficou invalido, vi que há um programa com instrucoes em ingles, por acaso tem algo em portugues? a melhor forma eh essa mesma?

3) Como minha bateria durou 4 meses, será que todas que adiquirir vao aguentar esse tempo?

Obrigado a todos.
[Blu Pure XL] Matheusbpvh:
Bom, a respeito de estar sem a opção PT BR, existe um aplicativo chamado "MoreLocale 2" que possibilita essa alteração.

Na questão do IMEI não posso te ajudar muito e sobre a bateria, também estou com essa dúvida. Eu comprei uma bateria do Asus Zenfone 5 até que chegue a original do XL, e comprei 2 do XL na Aliexpress, Pra justamente fazer esse teste dos 4 meses e dar o feedback pra galera
[Blu Pure XL] gelinski:
Good evening;

I made the rom on my BLU Pure XL, but am wondering what files I put in the SN Write program in the MD1_DB and AP_DB fields to fix the invalid IMEI error?

And what do I put in BT_addr and WIFI_addr?

Help me out of courtesy.

Thank you
[NFC Hacking] Anthony9345:
Hi all,

I have developed a circuit board which is powered purely on the magnetic field generated by my phones NFC antenna. Using this method I am storing the energy from the magnetic field in a capacitor and I am able to achieve up to 3.3V. However I have found that when active the NFC in my phone generally only chargers the circuit after it has first detected it as a tag. From what i can tell the field strength is very weak when polling for a tag and is only strong for a short time after it detects a tag and is in the process of reading the tag. Is this a correct analysis of how the NFC behaves in android phones (i assume this is to conserve power when polling g for tags) and is there a way to hack the phone to always have the feild strength operating at max capacity?

My understanding of the NFC behavior is based on experimenting with the my NFC phone and circuit board. I find after the phone has detected the circuit board as a tag the voltage across my circuit will increase fro about 1 second and stop increasing even though its in the same position. Then moving the board away and placing in the field again charges the voltage up further, reporting this several time eventually gets the voltage to 3.3V.

For my application the phone is only active as an NFC reader for a product, as such the battery consumption and effect on other features of the phone is irrelevant.

PathROM was designed to help porting MIUI to devices. I used it 3-4 years ago for porting MIUI to my LG P500. A developer/user could definitely go the manual way, but it would be mess.

Also, I keeped every part of the symlink script that camed with miui, so it should tecnically work.

Last night a pixie visited me and procured this phone. It's S-OFF (as with most test devices) and had engravings on the front and NOT FOR SALE splash on the back and came with quite a lot of test and internal apps.
