phone info

Thanks for your help. The phone model listed in download mode is GT-I9505.

I tried the driver that you linked to, but it didn't work--I suspect when my phone once fell off a table while plugged into the charger, the phone connection got damaged. I can charge the battery just fine, but connecting to a computer through the cord is no longer possible. However, I have been successfully transferring stock ROM files onto the phone with the Software Data Cable app.

Then replace the connector. That board is separate from the motherboard and shouldn't be too expensive.

Does it only not work in GSM calls or is it also not working for other apps like hangouts/?

I found that disabling google now / "ok google" fixed my gsm call microphone problems.
[Blu Pure XR Guides, News, & Discussion] rotohammer:
I got mine from Amazon yesterday, I already bricked it a few hours ago by messing with the recovery. It should be an easy fix once I get hold of the stock firmware. I got another one coming tomorrow, so I'll focus on just extracting the rom from that one :)

Bricking aside, I got 20/10mbs down/up on speedtest using my T-mobile US SIM, and the signal indicator showed LTE. Forcing it off LTE I got 10/5mbs down/up.

Battery life is awesome, I used it constantly for 8hrs and only got down to 50%, my note4 would have been dead after that much use with the screen on. The overall feel of Android 6.0 was smooth, no stuttering. There is no bloatware, just a few utilities for fancy wallpapers.

The phone charges faster than any other phone I have. The included TPE case doesnt increase the thickness of the phone too much and I like that It keeps the camera lens off the desk when I set the phone down.

Dual SIM functionality works nice. It was one of the main features I was looking for, though I will miss T-Mobile wifi calling.

Some notes:

I used adb & fastboot in my attempts to root. After running

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot

the display now showed

Orange state

Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted
Your device will reboot in 5 seconds

So it appears that it is best to oem relock it when you're done updating, as the message goes away if you relock.

Backing up the ROM

I found SP Flash Tool v5.1632 for Linux and I've been practicing saving chunks of ROM from my bricked phone. I should be able to grab the recovery portion of the new phones' ROM tomorrow.

Based on the scatter.txt file I've found for the Gionee S8 AmigOS Marshmallow ROM, recovery starts at 0x8000 and is no more that 16Mb is size. So, in theory, I should be able to grab that range of the ROM and flash it using fastboot back to my bricked unit. I'm using the word "bricked", but its far from that, I should just say "unbootable" to be more clear.

Earlier today I was trying to get MTK droid tools to detect my Blu Pure XR so I could extract the scatter file, but It never was detected. All the drivers installed ok, so maybe its not compatible, I'm not sure yet. I'll get back onto that after my first unit is back up and working, hopefully tomorrow.

Edit: I just found a modified MTK Droid Tools for 64bit cpu phones, I'll give this a try too.

Edit next day: I got the second phone this morning. I used SP Flash Tool to grab the recovery.img portion of the new phone, then I used fastboot to flash it to the damaged phone, and it worked fine. The bootloader unlock/relock caused the phone to wipe itself and then re-encrypt the file system, so I lost a few test photos, no big deal. FWIW, I could have flashed the recovery back to the damaged phone using SP Flash Tool, but I wanted to make sure it worked with fastboot, which it did.

Heres the recovery.img for those that may need it and don't have two phones :P

View attachment 3863784

Monday or so my mom gets her phone, so I'll be able to test LTE on AT&T with her SIM card. I just got 34Mbs download on a speed test (T-Mobile), which is is fine, considering all the naysayers reviewing on Amazon who didn't have the guts to buy the phone, saying LTE wouldn't work at all.
[Blu Pure XR Guides, News, & Discussion] agonzalez1010:
I just heard of this device today. I wonder how quick Android 7.x can be flashed over to this, but for $299 it's a good looking phone.
[Blu Pure XR Guides, News, & Discussion] rotohammer:
It may be a while since there's not much activity happening on this device yet.

I'm focusing on creating a rooted boot.img right now, as I'll be happy with 6.0 and root. I plan on having this done today. I've never created a custom twrp recovery, but I may try that next.

I need to figure out how to prevent the full wipe after oem unlocking/relocking, that's a real pain having all my setup deleted after every test, as it makes it hard to use the phone while developing.
[Blu Pure XR Guides, News, & Discussion] rotohammer:
Got root

Firstly, I'm still learning about Mediatek based devices, so I feel like a noob again. I haven't edited a ROM in several years and there's a lot of crap info on the internet. Most articles that write up "how to root a phone" basically say "Install twrp, then supersu", yeah, thanks :)

After struggling with all the selinux controls in 6.0, I switched to hack mode. As per phhusson's super-bootimg script, I used his sed technique to force the init in boot.img to not enforce security policy and added his bits to init.rc to load su. I put su and in system.img along with a suid root shell just in case. Its working, I have SuperSu installed, and it pops up to ask me to grant permissions. It won't update its su binary, I've got some permission problem there, but it's not a show stopper. Also,I found its easiest to just leave the bootloader unlocked while testing, I just have to get used to the annoying boot message and 5 second delay.

This week I'll start from scratch and document the procedure I used and hopefully make it repeatable for anyone else who may want to try it. Maybe someone will just port twrp and save me the time of learning how to do it :)

Some notes on the software I used:

Windows:

* SP Flash Tool with a bogus scatter file to grab the stock ROM sections of my phone as the Linux version would timeout reading large ranged of flash.

Linux:

* mktool to unpack/repack the boot.img

* loopback mounted the system.img to add su to it.

* used img2simg to convert system.img to a sparse image

* fastboot to flash the boot & system images to the phone.

AT&T Speed Tests

No good, ~500kbs up/down, even though signal strength showed 4 bars on 4G. No LTE at all. Changing the band set to 3g/4g had no real effect either way. Don't buy this phone I you plan on using it with AT&T, although my mother hasn't noticed the ****ty 4G in actual use yet (I'll switch her to T-mobile soon).

Update: After using the phone for 1 week, I am extremely pleased with it. I chuckle when I read the negative reviews on all the big phone web sites. Reviewers hate the wiggly button, LOL, but it doesn't bother me as I'm used to it on my Samsungs. Other than the wiggly home button, its a solid phone. I prefer the metal back as opposed to glass. By the way, who's brilliant idea was it who thought an all glass phone was a good idea?

It's not AOSP, but I find it's AmigOS Carefree launcher very pleasant to use, and I've used countless launchers over the years. It's got way better specs than the Nexus 5X and after struggling with the security in 6.0, I'm not in any rush to find out what security bull**** awaits me in 7.0 (for my benefit of course).

On the flip side, I don't use NFC payments, Google Pay, Google Play, no Google anything. All Google stuff disabled. I run my own calendar/contacts/tasks sync server, use oandbackup to save/restore all my apps and settings, the majority of my apps come from f-droid. I don't play games. So I'm not an average user. I've been using Android devices since the Nexus One and I have a pile of phones in front of me. Blu (or Gionee) has shown it can make quite a competitive device that I enjoy using all day, (though I wouldn't be using it at all unless it was rooted, so luckily for both of us that is the case).

Rant: Things that are actually more annoying than a wiggly button:

* Dozens of phone review websites that all publish a review of this phone within 2 days of each other after the phone was released on Aug 29th ,with all the same content. It's like they are all run by the same hack, just to get advertising dollars.

* Websites like rootoreviews.com that use a template on how to root this particular phone using twrp, when twrp doesn't exist yet for the device. WTF is that? Why would someone think this is a great idea? They have the same instruction set for every phone on the site with the make/model info swapped out. Are they just hoping twrp becomes available soon so they have the first post on the topic by default? Lame!

[Blu Pure XR Guides, News, & Discussion] buraq4:
Hey brother hope you r doing well. Glad to see this thread with the smartphone similar to mine. My phone is symphony helio s20, mtk6755 helio p10 processors, 4gb ram 64gb rom with the similar system.img and boot.img of gionee s8 & blu pur xr.

I was desperately looking for a pre rooted rom or a custom, custom recovery and rooting tool for almost 2 months, requested so many times all around this site, but unfortunately didn't get any respons (really frustated). I just badly need to root my device but I'm just a noob on modding and tweaking with Roms. I got my stock rom from Service Center, when I bricked my phone flashing a custom recovery. Later I tried all the method found all over the website but non of them are working only misleading. Bricked my phone several times but luckily I managed to reflash the stock rom by sp flash tool. Please keep this good work up and help us root our devices without any hassle. You are doing a really great work so keep it up bro!

Here is the link of my stock firmware with sn write tool if you need it for anything bro.

[Blu Pure XR Guides, News, & Discussion] bailsafe:
I'm going to guess something with KingRoot. This is a rebranded Gionee S8, so China is already no stranger to this phone.
[Blu Pure XR Guides, News, & Discussion] Tikerz:
Not surprised about AT&T performance considering I've never seen an unlocked phone support so few LTE bands (2, 4, 7). Ridiculous. It supports less than half of all the LTE bands AT&T uses. Unless your area uses primarily band 2 or 4 you're screwed if you're on AT&T. Even worse if you're on T-Mobile. It only supports ONE band on T-Mobile. Does Blu even realize it's 2016?
[Blu Pure XR Guides, News, & Discussion] rotohammer:
I tried every rooting tool, including KingRoot, none worked. There's an OTA update for the stock firmware, but I wont be able to install it until after I un-root. I probably retrace the steps I did the first time: backup all my apps, flash the stock firmware, do the OTA, then save/edit it to have root, then flash the result. The phone works so good right now that I'd hate to mess it up.
[Blu Pure XR Guides, News, & Discussion] bailsafe:
This was a Gionee S8 originally, which only supported FDD-LTE bands not in use in the USA. It's a miracle they got FDD-LTE in here at all, I guess, but if you're gonna sell in the US market... they really need more bands.

That's probably your best bet. I'm surprised KingRoot wouldn't work, even on the newer updates...

hey I was wondering for some reason my blu pure xr does not receive notifications at all except for certain apps and it keeps on disconnecting from messenger and such is there any remedy for this?
[Blu Pure XR Guides, News, & Discussion] rotohammer:
Press left button to bring up the running apps list, long press the button with 3 rectangles in it, then press "Clean white list". Here, you press"Add into white list" and choose "messenger" and any other apps you don't want "auto cleaned".

For example, my white list includes Alarm Klock, K-9 mail, CSipSimple, Silence (all apps that I want running all the time)

Hey bro how are you? How's family? I hope that everything is well for you and yours. Basically I just wanted to say thanks for sharing such great info. And I'm really glad that there's someone who's onto something like einstein. I just hope that you can figure out a way to get root with your own custom build of twrp recovery using chainfire's supersu to work with this smartphone. Cos that'll be super-awesome right? But I'm just a noob so all I can do is just wish you the best of luck. So best of luck until you crack the code. And I have complete faith in you. You will achieve it I know that for sure. Wish you and yours all the best. And thanks again in advance. Peace!

Hi …

i got my Pocket pc (HTC TYTN II- Kaiser ) before 2 weeks ago . And I updated it with Dutty's Hybrid Rom NO.3.

now I had a major problem with my HTC TYTN II- Kaiser. My problem is when I receive a call and I answer that call , my phone convert my call automatically to Speaker for 1 second and back to normal. Guess if you r in meeting and u want to answer and other party open music or something .I think that will put u in bad situation.

Any way … I hope any one can help me with that strange problem .. I don’t want that converting happen .it must be normal. If I want load speaker I have to change not automatically !

Btw .. I re-download the rom again and the problem back again …

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinity:
Hi. Is there any such custom kernel built? I can't find any. They all seem to be <3.1. Even ones which were built this year.

Is it impossible/unfeasible to build such kernel?

I want it because I'm installing Arch on Android(in chroot) - it works fine, but I can't update it. Because when I update glibc, everything fails - I get "FATAL: kernel too old" message. And if I won't update glibc, I won't be able to install/update software which requires recent glibc - like gcc. I probably could meddle with glibc(compile it myself manually and relax kernel restrictions), but I'd prefer to just update kernel.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Execute the commands manually. flash-all.bat is notorious for being flaky. However, why are we stressing here?

Download FASTBOOT and ADB ZIP , Install Drivers from 15 seconds ADB installer and then move all the extracted factory images to the fastboot containing folder and double click flash-all.bat and it'll do the job.
