use the button combination to get in to recovery, if you flashed an unrooted kdz it should just factory reset you device and it should boot normally.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_vx:
it did not respond to any thing of that it was only turn on the backlight of the screen only with the boot sound

i was lucky to get it fixed by connecting the USB cable with out the battery but not while holding vol up

this time i needed to hold both vol up and down in same time to make the USB detect the phone and flashed it with the right rom and it worked fine again

so i hope this new info can help here due multi ways i find to get into emergency mode

the normal is plug in USB with out battery while holding vol up but if fail try button combination

to get emergency mode

in my case the screen did not show anything but Windows was able to see the phone at emergency mode and flashed it

When I start up the phone its now giving me a "encryption failed" error and only giving me the option to reset all my data, WHICH IS THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO.

I have no backups.

PLEASE HELP
[Elephone P8000] Emileh:
Hey guys,

It seems more and more people are receiving the new version of the P8000:

- Stock Android 6

- New fingerprint scanner that is moved slightly higher and is able to unlock phone from screen-off (I confirm this is working)

- Sim 2 is combined with the micro-sd (I haven't tried whether you can have them both in at the same time)

- Somethings new about the display, since people are reporting errors with it after flashing older roms.

Warning: do NOT flash other roms. We have no way to unbrick the soft bricks yet!

For development:

- The phone does not come pre-rooted. We have no way to flash custom recovery yet. Any tips for getting root? I've tried such tools as Kingo and vRoot, they don't work.

- We need the blocks file (scatter file) for SP Flash Tools. MTKDroidTools reports "unknown rom structure". Any help? Would love to start working on this.

Looking forward to hearing from others who have this version/who can help me with these questions.

Thanks!

[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
Nice! Can you provide a dump from /system and /boot maybe?
[Elephone P8000] Emileh:
I would, if I knew how to. Any pointers? :)
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
Sure thing. On a rooted device, go into adb shell.

Then use "mount" command to check which partitions are mounted. One should be "/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system" or similar. Use "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system of=/storage/emulated/0/system.img bs=1M" to dump the system to the internal sdcard to the file "system.img". If adb complains that bs=1M is an invalid option, try again without that one. A system dump can take some time where you will not get any feedback, so be patient there ;)

Do the same for boot. So "/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/boot" should be the way to go for the path. I cannot tell the definite pathes on Android 6.0 but I am rather sure they are more or less like this.

If you run into troubles, just ask :)
[Elephone P8000] Emileh:
Thank you for your great instructions! The problem is that we've yet to achieve root on this device. We don't have a custom recovery for this version of the P8000 yet and other 'standard' methods of rooting don't work for me.

(I'm pretty solid in shell, so I'll do this afterwards, but I guess root is actually the first step).

// Edit to say: it does not come pre-rooted

I have e-mailed as well, and would like to post on the Elephone forum, but don't seem to have access (because of minimum post count, I guess)

Anyone willing to ask for a ROM for the new P8000 on the forum there?
[Elephone P8000] FrauHofrat:
ROM Dump

[MENTION=3784300]BlueFlame4[/MENTION]

I can provide ROM dump in two versions:

1) a dump from adress 0000 0000 to 9d80 0000 (apr. 2.5 GB in one file)

2) a readback generated with the scatter.txt of the 'old' 5.1 stock ROM (apr. 2.8 GB seperated in 23 files)
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
The second choice looks promising ;)
[Elephone P8000] FrauHofrat:
Maybe a stupid question:D

where shall I upload the files - any preferred webspace?

I'm uploading the files - because they contain my NVRAM I send the link as PM :) as soon as the upload is finished
[Elephone P8000] Emileh:
Are you sure we're talking about the same version of the P8000? Cause as far as I know there isn't 5.1 available for this version... Right?

Just checking :) thank you for your help in any case!! Really looking forward to it.

// edit: ah, you just used the old scatter file. But does that one work for this version?
[Elephone P8000] FrauHofrat:
No, there is only one Firmware available - the mysterious P8000_6.0_20160516.

Btw, this Phone contains a new mainboard model "K0

6

TS-L-V2.0.3" - the 'old' mainboard is moder "K0

5

T...."

No, it doesn't work resp. the phone boots with this firmware, but the LCD-driver is the wrong one - the display only shows coloured lines and blurry spots. And there are probabely some more bugs ....
[Elephone P8000] Emileh:
But if the phone boots with the firmware, doesnt that mean that the scatter file of the regular P8000 works? Since it flashes the firmware correctly.
[Elephone P8000] FrauHofrat:
The problem is that I was not able to flash the 'readback files' to the faulty phone.

When selecting 'Only Download' at SP-Flashtool I got the error "PMT... must be download"

When selecting 'Firmware Upgrade" I got some BROM error code

In both cases I used the same scatter,txt which I used to 'readback' the firmware from the working phone

Actually I have to correct my statement in post #15:

I flashed the faulty phone with the last 5.1 stock ROM (160711) - with this stock ROM the phone boots up but LCD (and probably more things) is not working.
[Elephone P8000] Emileh:
I have actually gotten alot further :)

You have the use the scatter.txt from Android 6.0, which works perfectly fine. I have been able to extract boot.img, system.img and recovery.img that way (using Readback in SP Flash Tools)

Which ones do you need?

They probably flash fine (only thing I've flashed so far are custom recoveries, and although my ported PhilZ starts, I havent gotten it to mount anything.)

A little warning: don't use anything that has anything to do with Android 5.1. Those scatter files don't work
[Elephone P8000] flo1k:
These are great news!

"Which ones do you need?"

Probably all of them :D
[Elephone P8000] Emileh:
Ok this contains the scatter file, preloader, system.img, boot.img and stock recovery.img

https://ehaffmans.stackstorage.com/index.php/s/uKGKCir0BociydU

You need SP Flash Tools v5, select the scatter file first, then deselect everything, and only select these 4 and manually select the correct files.

Btw, the name of the preloader file is wrong, don't worry. It came from this phone :)

I am of course not responsible for anything!

Can you guys please confirm this doesn't contain anything personal? Like personal files or IMEI or something. Thanks!

I flashed the mm ota modem so I could use wifi and get a signal. I also installed xposed and the mm boot animation. However, in trying to nandroid back to a cm or aosp based rom I am not able to get past the boot animation. Then I tried installing something new and still could not get past the boot animation.

maybe in the future rovo89 will provide some tests builds, but that is simply up to him

so short answer, it might be compatible, but no promises

however, current unofficial version is compatible (if you test), but some xposed modules are not fully developed under systemless root

[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] jeffburg:
Hey Everyone,

I'm fairly new to the Android community. I got an R1 and have since rooted it and de-bloated it. But I was wondering what the state of Cyanogenmod is. I've heard they've stopped development on it. Is there any chance they (or someone) will add support for the Blu R1 HD?

I'm interested in getting a full AOSP experience without the closed source google services kit software.

-Jeff
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] ss2man44:
Don't hold me to this, but I personally believe CM13 support will not be too difficult. It'll be later versions of Android that will pose a problem.

Also, CM13 for the R1 HD is being worked on. It's just a matter of time.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] jeffburg:

[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] rmbanas:

[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Fullmetal99012:
I don't understand too much about android ROM development, but what would prevent CM14 development/future versions from being developed?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] KazuDante:
contacted Blu and they told me that they are looking forward to working on updating as many devices as they can to the new platform as soon as possible!......righhtttt!!!

Once the dev. on the kernel is in line for a cm13 port , cm14 (which is already being worked on) hopefully might be a possibility.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] quisp65:
Me either, but I think it would be the drivers. I would suspect with CM13 they can use it's current drivers but with anything Android 7.0 they would need new drivers.

Blu has updated a few devices haven't they? They have to develop the drivers and then run it through the carriers approval I believe? I'm sure they are looking at how much money they expect to make from the R1 HD in 4-6 months. Some of this might depend on their plans of a new phone they plan to release. R1 HD is a big seller.... but what about in 6 months?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Jstame:
A device tree is very likely being compiled for this device now that the kernel source has been released. A CM 13 build I'd imagine is also in the works with other custom roms likely to follow. I would just sit back and keep your eye out. As soon as customs ROMs are released you should easily find them in R1 HD Forums on XDA. I wouldnt hold your breath for anything beyond android 6.0 on this device tho! Marshmallow ROMs will be more then sufficient for these devices and most devs really don't like to hear when this or that will be updated or released.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] cmason37:
No, I'm pretty sure once devs can build AOSP 6.0 for this device, it'll get 7.0, even if BLU abandons it. I mean, you do realize that you're on a website famous for, among other things, providing unofficial updates to unsupported devices, right?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Jstame:
Yeah I know exactly where I am bro. The fact that its such a low cost device and the unlikely hood of Blu updating the kernel source to 7.0 makes it very very unlikely there will ever be any kind of 7.0 update on these phones. Plenty of unofficial updates of ROMs are released but not many are above the "official" releases like going from 5.0 to 6.0 or 6.0 to 7.0. Were still waiting to see how Devs react to the R1 HD now since its not a big name mainstream device. So like I was saying if we don't see Blu update to 7.0 which is doubtful, we prob won't see any kind of Nuaget. Not saying its impossible without a Blu update just wouldn't hold my breath waiting on a Dev to take on that task on this particular device....
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] lolwatpear:
"Not a big name mainstream device"

Totally man. The number 1 selling phone on Amazon isn't a "big name, mainstream device." If anything this phone is proving how Android development is dwindling.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] dba415:
There was a article that said Blu would release Android 7.0 for the R1 HD. I don't know how reliable or legitimate it is.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] kal250:
They probably did say it, BLU has a history of promising upgrades, they rarely deliver. I don't know if the blame is theirs or their Chinese partners, not delivering. But even at that if BLU was smart they would hire a team of developers to actually develop roms instead of just simple branding tweaks on the manufacturer supplied firmware. BLU needs to tweak their sales routine, currently they sell flashy looking phones on the cheap, but if they would change their focus to selling entry to mid level phones with better support, they could really make a name for themselves.

I'm using "SANDISK ULTRA microSD UHS-I CARD" with format as internal storage without any problem, but now suddenly a notification show up that "Insert your SD card", I even didn't remove my card since I put it once. I tried to insert my SD card to HTC phone, saying "Damaged SD card" with only option for format it.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Welcome to the world of adopted storage... :(

Try to power off the device, remove the card and reinsert it, then power back up. If that fails, either the card has failed or the encryption key has gotten corrupted or "lost". There isn't a lot you can do to save or resurrect it if your device doesn't see the card and unencrypt the data.

When a card is adopted as internal storage, it is encrypted and uses the ext4 filesystem, it will only work in the same device with the same key and cannot be read in any other device without formatting it back to FAT32 and wiping out all the data. There is some information here about reading the data with a Linux computer, if you have the appropriate card reader and can access the encryption key on the device.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Yes... Reformat it in a PC or in another device. Personally, I would not reuse the card, especially as adopted storage, since it can no longer be trusted.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean89us:
Sounds like the problem is with your phone's SD card reader, not with the card itself. Other computers / phones will tell you the SD card is damaged/corrupted because they cannot read it (the card is encrypted), but that doesn't mean the card is actually damaged or corrupted.

You won't be able to extract your data from it unless you can get it to read the card again. I would try popping out the sim /sd card tray and shoving it back in many times, to see if eventually it will read (mine takes 2-3 tries before it will read)

If you can't get it to work you may need to contact Moto support to get a replacement under warranty (assuming you haven't unlocked the bootloader / voided the warranty)

Definitely try another card though if you have access to one, just to check and see if it will read a different card.
