so there is nothing to do for a custom ROM?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eamonnq:
Hope I am asking in the right place, I have a TCL M2U that is riddled with viruses and I think the only way to sort it is by flashing it, but I can't get SP FLASH TOOLS to detect the phone and when I try to get into the recovery on the phone the screen just flashes white and then reboots normally.

Have flashed a TCL M2U (my son's one) before sucessfully, but I think I was able to use Rashr to install a recovery on that one, and flashed it from there but I can't get that to work on this one.

I have installed Kingroot and it advises to remove tons of apps (about 30) but they just keep coming back.

Connecting the phone to a PC does nothing so it is like it is not being detected by the PC even.

Any suggestions welcomed.

I had to get a replacement note 5 recently due to my old ones battery being screwed along with some other issues, and I no longer have access to a computer to root my new one. Is there any working methods to achieve root without?
[General Questions and Answers] delawaresace:
I have two phones, both on ringplus. I run hangouts on both and use my google voice (GV) number to send text to my family and friends. This generally works so it doesn’t matter which phone I’m on, everything goes through my GV #.

Sometimes I find myself in areas that doesn’t have 3G service or sometimes I turn off my cellular data to extend my battery life. Unfortunately this means that any sms I send can’t use GV which requires data. In these events, I have to preface my texts with who I am (because they don’t recognize my ringplus number) and I wind up with a ton of separate conversations. It’s a mess.

If possible, I’d like a way to use my GV # without using data. Maybe somehow set up my phones so that even though they have their own ringplus #, texts would appear to come from my GV #.

Or maybe have some type of man in the middle setup, so my texts would arrive and then be sent out using my GV # and vice versa.
[BLU R1 HD Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
I think this is the right section for this...

Anyway, I was going through the settings and realized that this phone sports some really cool ringtones (I like them anyway), so I figured I would yank them from the system and post them here for everyone. There's one ZIP that contains all ringtones, alarms, and notifications from the stock ROM on the Amazon version of the phone. I don't think the OEM version has different sounds. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The package is attached to the post, and on my mirror server at the link below.

Short press the MFR button (Multi Function Button with the Motorola Logo), speak name, and the phone will dial the call

did it work for any one ?

Wireless Stereo and Hands Free are both enabled . is ther any other requirement ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] st3v3:
it doesnt have a microphone so no, although it can activate calls on the phone.

what i used to do was pick the call up and talk into the phone, i just got the Nokia BH-501 headset which has a built in mic but i miss my extra hang up and connect call buttons from the HT820.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] the0ne:
i can use it as a handsfree headset and can answer incoming calls , so it does have a mic

Its juz that i cant give voice command over bluetooth 4 some reason
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] st3v3:
yeah i know i noticed that as well except i dont think its the headset that does that just the phone that sees the command and puts the voice recon app into action.

the HT820's are good but not mic good.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Accessories] el_usuario_666:
sorry for my bad english

i found a thread on another forum about a spanish guy who bought an idol 3 (5'5) , when he unboxed the package he realized that the headphones looked cheaper, here is a picture

http ://i.imgur.com/d2cyvYK.jpg

i mean, the headphones are different than these ones

http ://i.imgur.com/NfTHreN.jpg

the guy also said that headphones sound is really dissapointing

what headphones do you have ? and what model is your idol? (for example in my country is 6045l)

JBL headphone, great quality, with 6045Y
[Onetouch Idol 3 Accessories] wiemar:
black headphones from idol 3. too much bass from them. poor plastic quality. i sold them very quickly. i don't say they are bad. i just got other so i don't want that they lie in a box.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Accessories] Langsuir:
They are defenitely cheaper than the first version. I got those too, and trust me - their sound is mediocre. However it gets alot better if you disable the JBL sound option. If you do that and plug in a good pair of cans the sound is top notch. And if you want even better sound install CM 12.1.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Accessories] Phantom410:
And don't forget about Viper4Android, that thing makes magic
[Onetouch Idol 3 Accessories] Gynoid:
Having bought four Idol 3/5.5 (6045Y) for my family, I got both versions of those headphones. I find the "cheaper looking" version much better (without the JBL sound option) than the ones on your second picture (the initial version in fact) . This said, both are really sh1tty, compared to my good old Panasonic RP-HJE120 which only lack a microphone. Now, why TCL/Alcatel chose to ship those sh1tty JBL-branded earphones with such a great phone remains a mistery to me, especially when you see the price of my good old Panasonc ones.

How to remove amazon ads and ota updates

Steps

1. Download SP-Flash-Tool-Remove-Amazon-Ads-plus-ota-updates.zip

2. Extract the SP-Flash-Tool-Remove-Amazon-Ads-plus-ota-updates.zip to your desktop. Note 7zip is great to extract files.

3. lauch Flash_tool.exe

4. select scatter-loading and browser to load MT6735_Android_scatter_R1_HD_NO_ADS.txt

5. click download button to start.

6. now plug your phone into the computer. to boot the device to preloader and start the flash. You can do it two ways: 1. power off the phone and flash will start or 2. From a powered off stat power on the device while plugged into the computer. either way will start the sp flash tool.

7. once the flash is complete you can unplug the device and reboot it. Congrats you have removed the ads and ota updates from the Amazon Blu R1 HD. Bounce you have also enabled bootloader unlocking if you want it.

NOTE: ads may still be on the lock screen after this process if so please factory reset the device to remove those ads that are saved in userdata. or if you follow Bootloader unlock Method 2 steps 1-8 your userdata will get wiped in the process
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] triggerlord:
Nice. I already have no ads though. :D
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] viktorfk:
A couple of questions just to be sure, do I have to be on OTA 6.4 to follow the procedure?, and what do I have to do after that if I want to unlock the bootloader?, use the bootloader unlock script? do I need root and TWRP?, thanks for your awesome work :D

Edit: Nvm I checked your updated post, he added all the answers HERE, still don't know if I have to be on 6.4 tho :confused:
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
i would recommend being on v6.4 yes but i think the system will still work on v6.1 but i havent checked. and yes the other post just got updated :)
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] viktorfk:
Don't want to bother you but can I use those system images to recover my phone with spft in case something goes wrong later? since it's custom stock system.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
you can use this firmware to recovery the phone at any time it will return it to full stock v6.4 with working ota updates and all the ads

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] xchaser:

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Natef53:
My apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I followed the guide to root and unlock the bootloader. Out of curiosity I downloaded titanium backup and froze Amazon Offers. I haven't had any ads on the lock screen since then. Rebooted a few times and it seems to have worked. Is there any benefit to going through this process rather than what I have done?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] cmart0125:
Flash removal of ads script using sp flash tool then boot into twrp recovery and clear data and cache...correct?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:

For people not willing to download 1.3GB of data to remove a few files I updated the original ad removal post with TWRP install files http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67892852&postcount=567

It's only 3kb :)

This updated method remove the need of wiping the data and will remove all ads, even the one currently displayed on the lock screen.

Root or exposed are not required (only TWRP obviously) so it won't affect the device security.

I created 2 scripts, one to clean everything, the other one leave the Underground app store in the system, your choice.

If you use it a lot, it's nice as it will update the apps automatically without the need of allowing unknown sources.

OTA are disabled by renaming the updater. Safer than the previous method (pm disable and pm hide), and safer than deleting if we need it later.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
would flashing the stock system image from non ad version also work.?

I have BLU_R0011UU-V12-GENERIC 27-06-2016

I have the 16gb no ad. the file is 2.6 gb so dont want to upload it if it will not be of any use
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
I would love to pull the firmware from that device all partitions for testing. I think we may be able to flash and fully convert the Amazon model to normal Blu R1 HD. Do you know how to pull all the partitions?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
I have them already from before any root was published. Also twrp version of all partitions.

But I don't know about share the partition that has sn, or imei. I think it is nvram or nvdata.

I can share to you a Google drive link and maybe you will host on your site if deemed usefull?

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] docangle:
Tomgst:

If you remove the files located in: /data/data/com.android.systemui/files/ the static/default Amazon Ads are removed from the lockscreen.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] emc2cube:
You can't. The ROM is only for the /system partition. This is in the /data so this is not in the ROM. You still need to either use the adb commands from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67947952&postcount=860 or delete / edit them in a file explorer.

That's why the TRWP script is a cleaner way to do it, just saying ;)

follow the guides on this thread and other threads in the Blu R1HD section . I achieved all those things you listed on my phone this weekend.

Now, just waiting for some nice dev's to throw us a custom ROM or three out here :D

(i would do it if had any idea how to)
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
well the v6.4 is the amzon R1 hd files and the v12 is the normal r1 hd firmware and you can flash it to the amazon r1 hd i have tested and it works fine it may even completely remove the amazon stuff for good and be able to still get updates but i havent tested that yet
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] kal250:
Ok then, do you foresee any issue with flashing the v12 normal R1 varient, and then at a later time reflashing with the Prime varient. I mean a flash to either one will completely rewrite the partitions(my assumption) so there would be little to no chance of extra data or corrupt data remaining going from one varient to the other?? I hope that made sense.. lol

---------- Post added at 05:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 AM ----------

Also one other question, once the bootloader is unlocked will it survive flashes? Or would we have to unlock again? My rush to get everything done, is I don't want to get some OTA overnight and find out my hopes of a few custom roms will be ripped away because I waited that extra day
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
Yes that should work but use at your own risk.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] FrenzyR:
if i flash this firmware can i get official OTA update

whether this firmware rooted or not

i am from India my brother brought this phone from USA but i am using in India

i am not able to connect with 4g network in India also want to known this phone supports VoLTE in India

So, the No bloatware file - Does it removes all the amazon apps and ads as well?.

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:

Do you have a version of the script that allows for renaming the OTA updater back to what it was?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] emc2cube:
I did not, but here is one that should work.

Keep in mind that OTAs won't be able to install if any of the system apps are removed and if the original recovery is not installed.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] therock11:
Is the OTA enable script for the original ad remove tool method or something else?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] xyz_969:
What is the "normal R1 HD" firmware like? Does it not contain any Amazon apps so it is similar to your "no bloatware" firmware?

I suppose the V12 doesn't have ads either, correct?

I'm contemplating whether I should use a firmware (V12) that probably still allows OTA updates in the future (like getting security patches or even a future Android version upgrade) or just get rid of the ads, lock the device for OTA and unlock the bootloader.

The latter means of course that future updates (if any is released, be it security or version upgrade) would have to be installed manually...

Thanks a lot for your work.
