[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] AndroidBR:
Any news on this device? Apparently Amazon has killed it off less than 6 months after it was released. Never seen such a short shelf life out of a smartphone. Now I'm just wondering what will happen with its support and updates. Overall, I'm just relieved that it was "just" a ~75 dollar investment (phone case and taxes). I purchased because I hoped Amazon would back it for a least a year or two with software updates. Now that I saw what they did, I'm pretty disgusted with their practices.

With the exception of the kernel locking all four cores (no offline mode) on all 4 cores and the poor earpiece and speaker. There's really nothing majorly wrong with the device IMHO.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
I will be releasing 7.4.2 modified rom soon. Right now testing rom.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tiggam:
If you need a tester let me know
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] docangle:
Do you need a unlocked bootloader to flash this ROM? I currently have TWRP installed and running Tomgst ROM with Ads and Update removed.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
Yes, you would need to unlock bootloader.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ariesgodofwar:
Were you successful in getting a flashable version of the update built?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
Yes, I am uploading now.

Modified_rom_R1HD_7.4.2.zip is now available, link is on OP.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
I am uploading rom now, you can test when it's uploaded.

Modified_rom_R1HD_7.4.2.zip is now available, link is on OP.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Unscedeo:
Thank you so much for everything you have done.

Just wanted to ask to the uploader and anyone who has tested it, are there any bugs or any new features besides the ones listed in the change-logs? I am about to do a clean flash of the 7.4.2 on to my StockV12 ROM and wanted to know if there was anything else about the ROM that I didn't know about.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ytsejam1138:
Thanks vampirefo, installing now.

UPDATE: Working great. Seems a bit more responsive too.

I have a question though, why did you leave the updater enabled in this modified version?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
Yes, the 7.4.2 seems to respond better, and for me LTE is a little better, I use straight talk.

Several people requested for me to leave update enabled, I can make a zip via twrp to disabled for those that want.

To disable it manually delete /system/app/AdupsFota/AdupsFoto.apk
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tiggam:
Thank you vampirefo, I agree it is a bit snappier.

How can I swap the back and recents keys on the navbar? I have GravityBox but it only seems to be able to affect the size not the button layout. This was an option in settings in V12.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
I don't know, never used Gravity Box.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ytsejam1138:
Thanks. I've disabled the app for now. That should keep me from receiving any unwanted updates, right? Or is deleting the all the only safe way to not receive updates?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
Disable, delete, rename all work.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tiggam:
Sorry [MENTION=2472806]vampirefo[/MENTION] I should have been more clear. I was asking a general question. The option to swap the navbar buttons is standard in the V12 rom, however has always been missing from the Prime versions.

I was only curious is if was possible to swap them in the Prime versions, either using a mod such as Gravitybox, or some other method.

I restore my v12 TWRP backup's userdata, and reflashed 7.4.2., and the navbar is setup how I previously had it.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] jacewt:
Awesome, thank you so much for all your work! You should probably change the title to your thread to show the latest version!
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kfn:
Is there way disable Google Search Bar and recover screen space where bar was?

I want to place apps icons there.

On BLU products webpage they show BLU Energy XL model with bar removed but on R1 HD when I disable Google search bar I cannot move app icons where bar was.

I see Zen UI Rom also has that annoying bar. Is it removable for app icons on Zen UI?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] onlykhaz:
It has been quite some time, I really enjoy this new update, it appears that they change the time of animations, what do you say [MENTION=2472806]vampirefo[/MENTION]?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
Yes, it's a very good update.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
I don't know never tried it.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] emc2cube:
[MENTION=2472806]vampirefo[/MENTION] as for 6.6, do you still have a stock_rom_R1HD_7.4.2.zip around?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kfn:
sorry if this is lame question, i am new to this but ... would some adb commands worked to delete Amazon apps from /system/app folder?

Would adb shell or adb uninstall work?

... or in order to protect files (apps apks from deletion) should I now mount something in TWRP as read-only? I mean after installing your modified ROM in zip file?

Lastly: I flashed 7.4.2, zip file from your thread, turned on encryption, connected phone to PC and noticed I can browse phone's storage in Windows Explorer.

I would expect storage is encrypted so cannot be browsed, is that right?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
No, I never made one, I updated modified 6.6 not stock 6.6.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
I never used encryption, if you are rooted you can use adb to delete files.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] joesee:
Sorry for the obtuse question, but there's no mention of the changelog between 6.6 and the posted 7.4.2 that I saw. I'm on 6.8 and wondering if this is something I need to flash differently since the .img files are newer than what I have right now.

Currently have 6.8 rooted, no ads, looking to get the B12/VoLTE/latest security patches and keep root. Would this be the way to go?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] bibikalka:
For those who upgraded to 7.4.2, how is it holding up ? No big issues ? All nice & smooth ?

[MENTION=3963379]AtomicFizzle[/MENTION], [MENTION=3154552]AndroidBR[/MENTION] - do you still see the core locking issue that you talked about with 6.6 ?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] AtomicFizzle:
Here's the thing - for some reason, it stopped happening for me at all in 6.6. I don't know what changed that fixed it. I actually stopped monitoring just recently because it didn't seem necessary anymore.

I just updated to 7.4.2 today. I re-enabled my monitoring package for CPU cores. Seems to be properly scaling down so far. I'll leave it on for a few days just to make sure it stays that way.

Still early on, but so far so good. [emoji106]
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] jiangjun413:
I have updated to 7.4.2 version. The band 12 and volte is enabled. Everything works fine except volte.

I am using the t-mobile, I find that when I am calling, the voice still use 3G network instead of volte.

When I am using s7, the volte is working with the same sim card. Do you have the same problem ? Thanks.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] clamder:
Any chance to add a flashable zip to disable updater? Thanks!
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] emc2cube:
Any of the amazon debloat scripts from here *should* do the trick http://xdaforums.com/r1-hd/how-to/guide-ad-removal-debloat-block-ota-easy-t3429555

Debloat by itself will not do anything as unfortunately all amazon apps are gone, but OTA will still be disabled.

Coming from V12 just upgraded to 7.42 but I lost root what is the best way to get it back?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tiggam:
Flash supersu
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] guliver365:
Yes thank you never mind I have done it
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Gizmosis350k:
maybe write old preloader ;)
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
The other recovery may offer that, might doesn't, you can use the script from one of the updates and write old preloader.

I am not interested in supporting writing preloader just system, boot, recovery.

Can you give us a screenshot of what your phone is running? For example, look at the screenshot I took of my phone. (My phone was the Amazon Prime variant. I converted it to the non-prime variant the day it arrived.)

[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] KazuDante:
what is the difference between the normalstock-obb and the other build vampirefo has built? because heres what i noticed.....most tweaks i add only work on that one normalstock-obb (for example Android N-Ify xpose module) but on all the other ones it never works. What could be causing this? and howcome that one variant works with the modules and the rest don't?

+ its the only one that has the option of switching the recent and back buttons built in the rom itself.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tiggam:
I really wish I knew, for instance Substratum works on the oem v12, but not on prime.

Yes it's the only option for switching the recent and back buttons that I am aware of.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Autolounge:
I'll look into a rooting method for you! (And if anyone has any ideas go ahead and let him know.)
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
As far as I know the only method is dirty cow, but it's never been done on latest version only 6.6.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
There has been no root method proven to work on this version that I know of, dirty cow was used on 6.6 it may work on 7.4.2 it may not.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Autolounge:
That's what I was thinking.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] krbvroc1:
As one of the apparently few users who paid the extra $50 to get the non-prime OEM version, what is the proper method to upgrade? I am worried about using the wrong firmware/images.

BLU just release an OTA for the non-prime today and the update fails - maybe because I am rooted or running xposed/magisk. So I am kinda of stuck on how to proceed. I never replaced my recovery - I just boot twrp via adb/fastboot. I would prefer not to lose my installed apps either. Thanks!
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
I don't know if there is a safe way for you, as you already attempted to update via OTA, I have no ideal what that update changed on your phone before an error was triggered.

I will provide a safe update via twrp, won't wipe out most apps, root and such added to system or boot.img will be lost.

Norm apps should still remain, not for sure what would happen in your case.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] krbvroc1:
What confuses me too is I thought all this systemless stuff (systemless xposed, systemless magisk and su) was supposed to fix these problems so I could take an OTA and not have these hassles each time.

I just reran the OTA to see if it provided any useful info and it drops me into recovery and shows:

When I reboot from recovery it appears it did not install or do anything yet.

Sorry I am not quite sure what you meant there. What are you recommending? Should I be installing normal-stock-oob.zip (on a non-prime) so the OTA update works?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
The systemless root doesn't help with OTA, no Blu device can be updated while rooted, systemless or system root.

Your error is saying your boot.img isn't stock, which is correct cause you are using systemless root which modified your boot.img
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] krbvroc1:
I believe systemless OTAs worked fine on my NVIDIA Shield Tablet so I thought it was the same for BLU.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
Blu checks for root, your NVIDIA doesn't.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] krbvroc1:
How BOLD of them.

So do you have any recommendations on how I might proceed on a non-prime device? Is the normal-stock-oob for legitimate non-prime? If I install that via twrp will it keep apps, but loose root. So I can take the OTA and then just reinstall my root?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
I won't say, you have to make up your own mind, what you do.

Normal-stock-oob is stock v12, OEM, non prime, call it what you will.

I will be uploading V17 soon, if normal-stock-oob works on your phone so will stock_V17_OEM.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] emc2cube:
Did you uninstall supersu before trying the OTA? Because you need to do it and select the option to restore the original boot image when supersu is asking you.

Error on you screenshot is related to your boot image not being stock.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
stock_V17_OEM_rom.zip Has been uploaded, and link is added to OP.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] krbvroc1:
I did not. I guess I mistakenly thought I didn't need to due to the magic of systemless. And I am running the phh-superuser version that goes with magisk. I was using the same versions that I use with my tablet for commonality. It sounds like systemless is not what I thought I was...
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Unscedeo:
OEM V17 Upload

Sweet! Thanks for your work!

So basically this is the Prime 7.4.2 update, except it's instead for the OEM version, right? I am about to flash it right now after I back everything up.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
Correct.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Alex19Gam:
if i'm on normal-stock-oob, i need to do a full wipe to install stock_V17?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
No, not useless you want to. You can be on any ROM in this thread and be able to update without wiping if you want to.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] krbvroc1:
I did not realize that 'soon' meant in the next hour. I used normal-stock-oob and took the OTA update which installed. Now it is stuck in a boot loop on the BLU BOLD LIKE US splash screen.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
It takes time for any update to boot, if after 10 minutes it doesn't boot, you make have to factory reset, that may or may not fix your problem.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] 0xd0gf00d:
N00b question but can we use CWM recovery to flash the update in the first post?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
No ideal, They are designed to be flashed via twrp, if you have cwm you can try.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] krbvroc1:
I did wait 10 minutes. If I press power up during this looping I get a menu for recovery, fastboot, and normal. That doesn't sound normal for an update process does it?

I can get into twrp however. Any tips on debugging what is causing the looping?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tiggam:
You, are my hero. :D
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vampirefo:
Nope, like I said you attempted or applied the OTA update to your phone, I can't help you, as I don't know what was done to your phone.

You could boot into twrp factory reset then flash my ROM, it might help it might not, had you not done the OTA my ROM would have worked 100%.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] krbvroc1:
I guess I thought successfully installing the normal-stock-oob.zip and getting a successful non-rooted boot would have undid/fixed anything prior to installing the last OTA update. Oh well.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tiggam:
Nooooooooooo. They took away the options to swap the recents and back buttons on the navbar. :crying:
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] theredbaron1834:

Not seeing this. 7 icons on mine right now. I'm guessing you have an app running that is causing the problem, or maybe a side effect of changing display resolution. Does it persist when you reboot?
