[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] AtomicFizzle:
If say, someone did happen to update to the unaltered 6.6 *after* their bootloader was unlocked, is there a way to restore the preloader and re-enable SPFT access? Seems like it could be a useful thing to have later on, if you needed to go back to stock for some reason. I.. uh.. that person.. is fine at the moment. Just curious.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] yaconsult:
OK, I'm confused! What are the huge benefits of 6.6 that make it worth risking a brick, root, or god knows what else? It must be something really good to take a chance with your phone, right? I mean, people wouldn't gunk up and risk bricking their phones just for some routine android updates, right? There haven't been any big new vulnerabilities discovered lately, have there? Hasn't it' been clear that amazon is trying to lock up the phones? Maybe I missed something. If VoLTE was included or something, then it might be worth playing with. I'm starting to think we will never see THAT update!

Me, I'm perfectly happy running Colton's non-prime rom - everything works perfectly.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
I have used both Roms, for myself 6.6 is a better rom than non prime, but if you are happy with non prime stick with it.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] yaconsult:
Colton - what rom are you using? Are you still on non-prime or have you tried out the newer amazon roms that people have modified?

I wonder if there are any real performance differences or if it's just due to a fresh install? It always seems great right after you flash and then it slows down as you install more and more stuff on the phone.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] wfandreas:
Is there a way to remove 6.6? I cannot get the phone to connect to the mtk drivers to try and install twrp
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkBlood.:
Currently there is No way to downgrade from 6.6
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] n3kf:
You may want to follow this thread. A process may be found. You could exchange your phone with Amazon since the return is no hassle for prime members. But some may frown on that.

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
This is correct, would require and root exploit or for Blu to provide an update that flashed a different preloader.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mikamika83:
Recieved my phone and updated it to 6.6 as soon as it showed up. Regret it now, not able to root anymore :(

I hope you guys will find a way to get around this. Root is the only reason I'm buying android phones.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
You can return the phone, when you get new phone don't update it via ota.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] wfandreas:
I'll be returning the phone and reading XDA threads BEFORE I do anything.

Thank you
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mikamika83:
I know but I don't want to. I would rather wait for people get around this :) cause pretty sure Amazon is going to update their phones before sending them anyways.

---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------

Heres an idea. If someone has time, please look at Adguard. It has no root requirement, because it uses local VPN.

Is there a way to look up the Amazon server device accesses and block it ? ( the app has custom filters section )
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
OK, it's your phone, I already returned one, Amazon let me keep the phone I was returning until I received the new phone, that way, I was never without a phone.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mikamika83:
Thanks. So basically Amazon sent you a free one and you returned yours as soon as you got it?

Or did you pay for the new phone and returned the old one?

Did they ask you the reason for return?

Also do you think people will find a way to bypass their security update?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
They never asked for reason, or money, they simply sent me another phone and once I received it, I sent them the old one.

No, I don't think a fix will be found anytime soon. Perhaps never, my guess Blu will have to provide the fix.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mikamika83:
Waiting for the replacement tomorrow. Hopefully, it will arrive without the security update installed.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
It will be 6.1. Just don't do the OTA update of 6.6, if you want 6.6 just install my 6.6 ROM.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] yaconsult:
I got my second one about a week ago and never turned it on until I had followed Colton's wonderful tutorial on how to flash it to the non-prime version. Then I did root, twrp, and let google reinstall the apps. Now, I have a backup phone, although the first one is still working fine. I'm still curious if Colton has tried any of the modified amazon updates or if he's still running the non-prime rom? If the modified amazon one, what changes has he noticed?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] EvansEssence:
6.6?

Just curious, does anyone think 6.6 will be possible to root in the near future? I too made the mistake of letting the phone update when it arrived. I'm wondering if I should get a replacement from Amazon back to 6.1 or wait it out; the ads don't bother me too much in the mean time.

Also, I haven't had any luck with the adb command to rid the ads, dunno if anyone else had success with that command on 6.6

Thanks!
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
Yes, I am sure root will be available in the future, apps like KingRoot will at some point be able to root the phone.

However unlocking the bootloader and being able to flash custom Roms, or use spft may not happen.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] n3kf:
And the reason I returned and got a replacement. So I could unlock bootloader. Hoping that someday CM will be available. Problem is if the phone does get so locked down that the boot loader can't be unlocked, it probably won't be popular enough for ROM development. But it is a great backup phone.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mikamika83:
I got my replacement with 6.1 installed. Skipped the wifi setup part to avoid the new OTA (who knows) and after an hour I have bootloader unlocked and rooted (no ad) 6.5.

I do not recommend you to take risks and update to 6.6 if you already rooted yours, because I really see no change in those two.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] n3kf:
If you have twrp installed, you can safely install the 6.6 from this thread thanks to vampirefo:

Yes I know about that, but I don't see any changes in that version besides the security patch. Correct me if I'm wrong

I have rooted using KingRoot 4.8 in this model. Other versions of kingRoot didn't work for me..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahammed Danish:
Unbrick LYF FLAME 8 ls-4505

My flame 8 got rooted using kingroot (latest version from official site).

When I installed supersume app to install super su ,my phone got bricked. Not even booting into the system.

Then I could download the official firmware from the link: docs.google.com/uc?id=0B672QBSaJWBAWmtPaUNXTXVyR2c&export=download

Here are the steps;

Extracting the file, you'll get Qualcomm drivers,qpst n flash file folder.

Install drivers and qpst.

Then switch off the device (ls-4505) and replug the battery.

Then hold volume up+volume down+power button all together till your phone vibrates.

Then connect your device to PC and make sure the device is listed as HS-QDload.....something with a COM port in both device manager and qpst configuration.

Then open QFil and select the respective port and load mbn file (which looks like 'prog_emmc_firehose_89XX.mbn') in programmer patch section.

Then load XML files rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml one by one.

Then click download. The process will be completed in 10 minutes. There you go with stock unbricked Flame 8. Device warranty also be restored.

##PossibleErrors:

1. rawprogram0.xml error;

then you can use file unparsedrawprogram without qcn.xml and patch0.xml instead.

Don't use unparsedrawprogram.xml, because it will wipe your qcn data(imei,WiFi Mac....)

2. QFil error;

then you can download latest version from here link: boycracked.com/portfolio/download-qpstools-flasher-for-qualcomm-chipset/

Good luck :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahammed Danish:
I couldn't find a custom recovery for the device yet. Hence I don't think it is able to install Xposed framework in the device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhotiron2004:
As far as I know, you don't actually need custom recovery for the xposed framework to work. Its needed in case something goes wrong.

The framework itself is just an app that anyone can install if you have root access. After that you would need to activate the exposed framework from inside the app itself. Its not compulsory to install recovery.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanketMohapatra:
I'm very sorry dear we have not been able to develop recovery for the mobile phone that is why we cannot develop any kind of ROM for this mobile.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanketMohapatra:
Step:1

Frist take your stock boot.img, stock recovery.img and

any other recovery like CWM or CTR (Without

TWRP)

Tips: If you don't know how to get a dump of boot.IMG or recovery.IMG, Google is there to help you! You can also use Diskinfo to get partition info, download it from play

Now put them in safe folder and unpack boot.img in a

new folder, then unpack Stock recovery in another

folder and unpack your cwm or CTR recovery in

Another folder.......

All done!!

Tips: search Google how to unpack .IMG with android kitchen or android image kitchen

Quote:

Step:2

Now go to your unpacked boot.img and then go to "ramdisk" folder then copy these files and paste it

to your recovery (whitch you want to port)

1.meta_init.modem.rc

2.meta_init.project.rc

3.meta_init.rc

Done!

Quote:

Step 3:

Now go to your unpacked stock recovery and copy "(# Kernel )" and paste it to your unpacked recovery (Which you want to port).Then again go to unpacked stock recovery>ramdisk and copy these files and paste them in your unpacked recovery>ramdisk (which you want to

port) and replace them all...

1.fstab

2.ueventd.rc

3.ueventd.goldfish.rc.

Done!

Quote:

Step 4:

Now go to your stock unpacked CWM or CTR and go to

ramdisk/etc and copy ( recovery.fstab ) and paste

it to you unpacked recovery (which you want to

port) /ramdisk/etc and replace......

Done!Now go to your unpacked recovery (whitch

you want to port) then go to ramdisk and open

default.prop and ask also open the default.prop. compare them, change the values of port recovery according to stock recovery.

All Done!

Quote:

Finel step :

Repack the ported cwm, take it to your phone and open any flash tools and flash your new recovery!!

N.B.--> This method will not work in TWRP porting beacuse porting TWRP is different...

Sometimes your new recovery may not work...if it does not work then try again with new recoveries from different device or redo the whole thing

This method is suggested to me by the developers of the life flame 2 and there work is very appreciated among the community so I am sharing this article for our development which is given by one of the member of the life flame 2 development forum member during our Facebook chat

I know the complexity of the Snapdragon processor is a huge demerit in the process of development and the company is not publishing any kind of device tree so that we can use it to our help

Still I will recommend to search over the Internet for the different possibilities for developing a custom rom specially for Snapdragon 210 which is our target and reach our goal

I think, recovery I ported was ok but it showed me black screen. The reason I think was my bootloader is locked and there's no way to unlock it because my phone never go to fastboot mode.
