Yes it was, sorry about that and late reply. I had quite a bit of beer when I posted that mish-mash of jibber jabber.

Yes I have Xposed working fine. I got it to work using Magisk 14.0. After I installed it using only TWRP to flash and SuperSU as the su frontend manager it was buggy as hell. It would automagically turn off, for lack of a better word and claim the framework wasn't installed. A reboot fixed that for random amounts of time.

So I booted into TWRP and restored the backup I made post rooting, rebooted, then again rebooted back to recovery and installed magisk 14 zip, again reboot the phone once fully booted and running I installed magisk manager apk. From there I installed the following 2 magisk modules:b magisk busybox & adb and fastboot through the normal download and install option with8n magisk manager unsure of wetheror not I could after installing 1 without rebooting as it asks hit not now and install the others I choose to reboot the phone after each one installed. Lastly I installed the magisk module version of xposed for Android 6.0 as mentioned in my prior post. 1 final reboot and viola....Xposed installed BLU conquered.

I just ordered this phone, and will have it in few days(I hope).

I was hoping to have couple questions answered before hand.

I read yours instructions and understand that these recoveries only work if booted, not flashed.

I also see from the screenshots that the carliv recovery is the one [MENTION=2472806]vampirefo[/MENTION] had made for life_max (my current phone by the way).

I know that he had same problem with touch not working when recovery flashed to the phone. But he built new twrp that does work. Have you tried that new(new in like July I think) TWRP?

Link to life Max files , for reference.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vampirefo:
I think the kernels are the same in these two phones just boot my latest twrp for blue life max on this phone, if it boots as is and I think it will, then just flash twrp to recovery partition.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmazak:
New phone showed up today. Recovery for life-max did not boot as-is. Fastboot boot attempted to boot it , but phone did full reboot to system.

I modified the boot.img with followinf changes

1. insecure ADBD (taken from the twrp build)

2. default prop lines

A. "ro.secure=0"

B. "security.perf_harden=0"

C. "ro.debuggable=1"

3. change "forceencrypt" to "encryptable" in "fsatb.mt6735

So now before even flashing SuperSU I can get full read/ write permission to device

1. adb shell id returns (root)

2. adb shell opens with "#"

3. "adb shell setenforce 0" works

4. "mount -o rw,remount,rw /sytem" is allowed

I read on this thread that you have found "blu_html-viewer" to be an auto installer of apps. There is also a more obvious problem "/system/priv-app/IgniteBluOEM"

Ignite is classified as a silent no confirmation installer, usually set to put ads and spyware on.

here is an article about it.

OK, thanks You then need to get kernel source, build new kernel that allows touch in recovery.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmazak:
does this dmeg help confirm the problem is the kernel?

the following is the result of grep "touch" on both dmesg from a booted and a flashed twrp install.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vampirefo:
Blu specifically disabled touch in kennel source on blu life max, that same source is used for different blu phones, I thought this phone might be one, but it's not you already proved that.

There is no fix that I know of besides building new kernel with touch enabled in recovery mode.

I bricked my phone and then did a factory ROM restore. This time I followed exactly all except step number 5.

Following this link, they say that this zip should be installed only after the BusyBox from Playstore is installed. I installed everything up to step 4 and then when I installed Busybox Playstore followed by using TWRP to install the busybox binaries in that zip file, Magisk locked up on the device and would never get passed the masked guy on the first screen. No access to xposed or anything.

Did I do something wrong?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donphillipe:
Thanks for the tips. I was able to soft brick my phone attempting these steps out of sequence. Restarted yesterday with a fresh install of a questionable rom image and now after going through everything again and following this procedure exactly, the file XposedInstaller_3.1.5-Magisk.apk will not install via File Manager, simply saying "X app not installed". In your procedure you suggest going to the link and following the topic of BusyBox. This is how I soft bricked the phone before by installing the generic version of BusyBox from playstore (by same author) and later flashing the binaries via TWRP. Can you clarify this part of the procedure and if you were able to install XposedInstaller_3.1.5-Magisk.apk prior to doing anything with Busybox? Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlieSummers:
I've read through this thread because I think I'm going to purchase one of these Studio XL 2 - it seems to have the features I want at a good price point. Before I do, I'm wondering of anyone knows of a root method that does not require unlocking the bootloader? I don't use Android devices that aren't rooted (would you run a Windows machine without the administrative password?), but would prefer not to void the warranty immediately out-of-the-box...

Can anyone help me with root on my XL 2? It's been a few years since I have rooted a device and this is my first MTK as well, so I feel I'd be better off asking LoL.

Hum. Stuck a clean 16G card into the phone, temploaded recovery.img, started backup. Backing up /boot, Backing up system went fine; but backing up data got error "Can't mount /data!

Doesn't seem like a major crisis since there is available for download the Blu-Studio_XL-2-__BLU_S0270UU_V09_GENERIC-01-03-2017.zip (same version/date as this phone), but it is a datapoint.

Now need to work through installing SuperSU...

I have a brand new out of the box BLU Studio XL2 in my bedroom in a drawer I am not using it. It has mchlbenner's TWRP recovery image file loaded into it permanently and it works perfectly. However, I am still using my old Android 5 with the cracked screen waiting for someone to get Xposed working on this phone. I rooted only for Xposed and without it the phone is no good in my opinion (as long as I have something else with Xposed, e.g. my old phone)(. Root does me no good without Xposed.

This is a bit off topic,but does anyone know where I can find a new battery for the Studio XL2?

A friend has it, and of course after about 13 months, the battery swelled up like a balloon, pushing the back cover right off... BLU has been no help, since it was 21 days pass the warranty. They referred me to some site that sells parts for them, but that particular battery shows out of stock, and I can't get them to reply to emails not phone calls....

I have the nck codes and all that, but no method to input them as it seems boost/sprint disable the 2945#*xxx# method to get to an unlock menu.

Not off top of my head most sprint lgs are carrier folder unlocked. Im trying to remeber i had a stylo 1 but it was metro and eleigable for unlock. Ill look around tonight when i get off work and try to see if i can find anything. If u dont mind i need ure model num and current firmware

Have u tried inserting a gsm sim and see if it asks for unlock code. Also i used to use one of the idoneapps gt 3.1.5. Which is no longer freely distributed. But u can find it online some where i believe if u click on uicc unlock it tame h tl the menu u need to enter code. Or at least on some samsungs and lgs not all. U do need root for this app. Also look up galaxy tools. I cant verify it brings u to said menu. As mine already unlocked and thats all it says.

or flash any new rom and see if it detects the sim.

hi guys,

please i have some questions i really need there answers:

1- (rooted phone) if i do a factory data reset will the root gone and the TWRP also ?

2- (rooted phone) is there a way to install an update if i got it ( like update security patches "monthly" ) on rooted phone without wipe data or loosing the root or TWRP?

3- (rooted phone) if i reinstall the factory image full,the root and TWRP will have gone or not ?

thanks a lot !
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
1. If you use systemless root a factory reset will remove it. If you use a root method that modifies the system partition a factory reset won't remove root. Factory resets will not remove TWRP.

2. Installing monthly security updates and keeping TWRP, root, and data can be done by manually installing the update using fastboot and doing the following:

-Systemless root method: flash everything EXCEPT the recovery, boot, and userdata images.

-System based root method: install everything EXCEPT the recovery and userdata images. You will have to reflash Superuser/SuperSU (whichever you prefer) in TWRP since flashing the system image will remove root. There's no way around this.

3. If you use fastboot to install everything included in a factory image you will lose root, data, and TWRP.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chouiyekh:
Could you explain me what are the difference between systemless root method and system based root method, in order to get know what is it the method that I used
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
If you are running Marshmallow or Nouget and used a version of SuperSU that is a year or less old it does system less root by default.

You can flash OTA updates on a rooted device with FlashFire without using a computer.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HikingMoose:
You can also flash an OTA image in TWRP and then simply flash root after, before you boot the phone. If the phone boots without root, out will wipe TWRP and leave you with stock recovery.

But honestly, from the questions being asked, you might not want to try this stuff until you understand it better. Losing root and TWRP is not a big deal. You can flash them again in about 1min and 30 seconds, so it's not worth worrying about.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
Why would factory reset remove systemless root? I expect factory reset to only reset what you're supposed to have changed since factory image. That is /data.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HikingMoose:
Systemless must be in /data if it's not in /system, right? I don't really know much about systemless, because I don't use Android pay, Snapchat or play children's games haha.

But my guess is that if it's not touching system, then it must be in data, so wiping data would remove it. But I'm just guessing.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chouiyekh:
thank you, i got it easily because i'm not a beginner i have some experience
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
You guessed right. Never thought of that, thought it was actually all done from boot partition.

Quoting Chainfire:

As the binaries should still be updatable, and we don't know the space we have available in the boot image itself, we're mounting a (writable) ext4 image with /su as mount point from /data, and modifying PATH accordingly. Interestingly, for reasons yet unknown to me, if the image is mounted r/o by init, later remounting it r/w causes a bunch of issues. So we're keeping it r/w (for root) for now.

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] vhl71:
Thinking of getting a moto Z. My biggest concern is the dpi on the screen. From what i saw, the default dpi looks pretty ugly on the screen. Even my 5.2" Dtek50 has a much nicer layout of apps and websites with a dpi of 441. How easy is it to change the dpi so that its more or less in line with Dtek50 or google pixel?

Also how good is the camera? Main issue with my dtek50 is that the camera sucks..
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Out Of Code:
You can change DPI with a launcher like Nova. For Apps, I'd start by rooting and removing the on screen buttons to free up screen space. Replace it with a pie app, where you drag from the bottom to left/center/right to use those keys.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] vhl71:
I dont want to root yet. My basic concern is due to the default dpi if i open up a website in chrome what is shown in one row is a lot less than a smaller google pixel or my dtek50. For example a website paragraph which is shown in 3 lines for me shows in 4 or 5 lines in moto Z. This is due to

o the dpi setting. I read we can change this without having to root??

Yup, seems you can change the DPI from developer options in Android 7.0 (no root needed)
