Greetings XDA Community and Blu Users!

Today I am Sharing this Custom Recovery that was made by [MENTION=4939713]lopestom[/MENTION] for the Blu Advance 5.0

Now before we get into this you will need to do the following first for the recovery to install.

You will need to install the MTK VCOM Drivers and the SP Flash Tool.

Now once you get this done, you will want to install the custom recovery files for which I am providing to you Blu Advance 5.0 Users from [B [MENTION=4939713]lopestom[/MENTION][/B]. (download link at the very bottom)

Once you install the zip, follow these simple steps and you will have the recovery installed in no time!

2. Open SPFT, and load the scatter file from that folder unzipped

3. Click the Download Tab, and edit the settings as follows:

A. Make sure 'Download Only' is selected

B. Only Recovery Partition box is checked

C. Make sure correct scatter is loaded

4. Double click in 'Location' field next to recovery partition and select recovery.img

5. Click "Download" Button

6. Power off phone

7. With "Download" button clicked in SPFT, connect phone to USB without powering on (VCOM DRIVERS MUST BE INSTALLED FOR THIS TO WORK)

8. Wait for SPFT to flash, popup with green check-mark will display when complete

9. Disconnect phone from USB, hold power + volume-up keys until boot into TWRP Recovery

10. Done!

11. You have successfully installed this custom recovery for your Blu Advance 5.0!!
