This post looks pretty new. So I thought I'd drop by just in case you never figured out how to install TWRP. At the bottom of the guide there is this:

That download URL is TWRP. If I were to guess, the download is an unofficial port of TWRP. Since TWRP doesn't have an official build for BLU Advance 5.0, you have to use the file provided by OP (I am not aware of any other unofficial ports of TWRP specifically for BLU Advance 5.0).

It has been a while since I rooted the BLU Advance 5.0 for my friend, but I believe it is not possible to directly flash a custom recovery onto the device. That's why you need to install SPFT which was also generously provided by OP:

However, in order to use that tool, you must make sure you have the right drivers so your phone and computer can communicate:

After you have installed the proper drivers for your computer and SPFT, you are all set to follow the steps OP provided. Any instance where it says "zip file" he is referring to the zip file you should have downloaded from androidfilehost.com (first link I quoted from OP).

As long as you know that, here are the steps 1 - 11 you should follow:

I may be misreading this sentence, but incase I am not, I'll explain. The primary reason people install a custom recovery is so they can root their phones. In the case of BLU Advance 5.0, that phone only has an internal storage of 4GB, which I have recently learned is apparently taken up entirely by Messenger itself (if you download Facebook Messenger). What's the point of having a smartphone if you can't install apps on it? There is an app called Link2SD which can trick the phone into believing the external SD card space is internal (more or less). Link2SD needs root though.

After installing TWRP, now is when you can flash things the way I imagine you're moderately familiar with from your comment. The only thing you should need to flash via this method should be SuperSU, to give you the root privilege necessary for Link2SD. OP has also provided this:

If you followed all the steps properly, you should be able to power down your device, and boot into TWRP by holding the Power and Volume Up buttons until you see the

white

BLU boot screen. From there, you can flash SuperSU.

Hope this helped clear some things up for you!

While this helps, I've been doing this for months now... And now I am faced with the problem of the new OTA they just gave me, which blocks any and all root access that I had before. Now my problem is figuring out if I need to re-flash the previous version to my firmware or unlock the bootloader and just install a custom ROM, given that a universal ROM is compatible.

A way to unbrick?

So, I have one and bricked it when flashing a recovery I found when I searched blue advance 5.0 custom recovery on google

when I searched, I used the one I found at the blueroms dot info site

it is now in a boot loop, and I can't access anything except the menu between booting factory mode and recovery

is there a way I can fix it, and flash this?
[General Topics] cuvtixo:
Thanks!

Thanks for not only the instructions, but for accepting the possibility that I may have figured it out myself. :)

As a regular linux user, I'm not sure why the xda comunity depends on: SP Flash Tool, MTK VCOM Drivers for Windows and MTK VCOM Drivers for Windows 10 64-bit/32-bit. Especially at this point shouldn't there be some tools from Chrome OS? if not Linux itself? Sorry that's kind of off point, but your help is indeed appreciated.

Trying to Root

Hello everyone, I have been desperately trying to root a Blu Advance 5.0 HD that i just got. It runs Android Version 6.0 Kernal 3.18.19 Custom build BLU_A050U_V04_GENERIC 19-09-2016\

So The farthest i got was clicking download and plugging in the phone. It gives me an error and suggests i Format+download. Doing that semi bricks my phone and i have to flash a oem firmware. I even tried using the oem files and just replacing the recovery which did the trick in making it run, but did not install twrp. What am i doing wrong, Id rather not return the phone but i may if i cannot root it.

Thanks anyone who can assist me!
[General Topics] Harp_River:
Nothing happened

Greetings,

I was able to install drivers on the PC and flash the recovery through SPFT and directly from fastboot but it didn't work. Although both methods gave me OK, when I boot into recovery I still get the stock recovery 3e version of the BLU. So, is there something that I'm missing?

Hahaha, typical. I just yesterday installed Lineage 14 after running xiaomi.eu Marshmallow roms for my MI Max and today they release they new one...

Would be awsome to hear about how these roms compare?

I do like the integration with your MI account on MIUI roms, otherwise...meh, don't feel like I'm missing out on much.

Sure the interface is a bit nice...

But for me batterylife and smoothness are they main features that I'm looking for.

Id love to hear about your experiences with xiaomi.eu roms compared to the lates ASOP Nougat flavors.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] Imtigr:
I have not tried the lineage rom. Can i just download the rom and gapps and flash through twrp? The instructions seemed critical so did not try it out. Something like do this if your miui version number changes ?

Today i have downloaded and currently using the latest xiaomi.eu rom. It looks stable but lags a little here and there.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] remb:
Well, I'm running Mi Max Hydrogen 32 GB / 3gb ram version and did the following to flash the unoffical lineageos 14.1

1. Downloaded the hydrogen rom: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B60OA264UF_PMjVQN3A5a2g2MDg - lineage-14.1-20170201-UNOFFICIAL-hydrogen.zip

2. Downloaded the following firmware: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B60OA264UF_PRmZpSGZpa2ZxOHc - firmware-HYDROGEN_MDG-7.1.5.zip

3. Downloaded pico opengapps for arm64 soc - http://opengapps.org/

4. Did a full wipe (except user data) i.e. not factory reset but selected in TWRP 3.0.2.0 the partitions I wanted to format.

5. Flashed the Hydrogen Rom in point 1.

6. Flashed Firmware in point 2.

7. Flashed Pico Gapps in point 3

8. Wiped Cache & Rebooted.

Its still working fine, ofcourse I made sure to backup my sms and other stuff I wanted to keep from before....MIUI backups and cloud services aren't really compatible with Lineage :)

Can't really say anything about the batterylife, it's decent but the phone hasn't received a decent nights charge since yesterday.

A few things that I did was to ad adway and modify youtube so that I get an adfree experience without exposed.

Also I've moved Gsam to privilaged systemapps in order to have good battery tracking.

I also use Greenify as I did with Miui 8 and have Greenyfied Facebook, Instagram and such apps that tend to hang around. Also I've Frozen the Stock Music player since it was waking the phone a lot from deepsleep. Did it with Titanium backup.

[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] Imtigr:
Noted. Thanks will flash tonight.

Is it smooth? Any lags? The new xiaomi.eu nougat rom is the same as marshmallow. Nothing new..

What about the lineage rom.. Does it feel like you are using nougat? :D

Actually miui nougat from xiaomi.eu doesn't lock bootloader on Mi Max. It locks bootloader only on mi4c, mi4s and mi note pro.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] remb:
Now I've actually tried both RR 5.8.0 and Lineage unofficial 14.1 and in my opinion RR is definitely much smoother.

Flashed it about an hour ago so battery and sot is unknown.

But as for Linage the battery life is on par with what I got on miui, maybe slightly shorter but didn't test it enough to get conclusive results.

Lineage is smooth as well, smoother then miui but nothing that I was super amazed by. I didn't have the small hangups when you switch apps and such so it was good, totally satisfactory.

RR on the other hand is a clear difference in smoothness. Gonna test it a bit more, if battery holds up then I'm sticking with this rom.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] remb:
Tested the battery this night and rr is dozing quite well.

0.3 - 0.4% discharge per hour and it's really smooth as well

Hey guys

I bought Galaxy A7 2016 one month ago .. I heard that I should charge it when it's 15% and not to charge it more than 90% .. I have read alot of articles from Google engineers speaking about that so I don't charge it until 100% more than once or twice a week .. but now my battery goes down normally until it gets 4% .. the phone shut down immediately :(

Please help me what to do .. it's still a new phone :(
[XDA Assist] sawdoctor:
Greetings and welcome to assist. I can see you have already asked this question in your rom thread here

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3509237

so it may be a bug in the rom. Things you can do are

1. Install better battery stats and monitor it for 24 hours then upload your results in the thread to see what is draining the battery

2. Install a battery saving apk like Servicely or if you have xposed amplify or greenify and this will help put rogue apps to sleep

Regards

I've flashed the aptx.zip from the thread https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3/themes/mod-aptx-codec-t3521228.

As far as I can see it's working fine with my UE 9000 headset on the a2017g with official LOS 14.1.

Unfortunately the Jaybirds X3 and Blubuds that I'm using does not support APTx, but this is great addition, thanks for posting it.

Did you check the logs to see if its really working?
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jawz101:
I can't tell if it's working. I have some TaoTronics ear buds which say they do aptX.

I can't tell if it's working based on the logs and because I listened to a song before, installed via recovery, and when I played the song again it's to late to remember what it sounded like before.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Browns:
It works like a charm! Each of these log lines tell you whether you're using aptX or SBC:

aptX = I bt_btif_media: btif_a2dp_encoder_init Selected Codec aptX

SBC = I bt_btif_media: btif_a2dp_encoder_init Selected Codec SBC

If you have ARISE sound mod installed aptX is already working.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jawz101:
Good news. Thanks.

I did try the ARISE sound mod Aroma installer yesterday for its other audio stuff but then I removed it. All it did was put 7 apps on my phone, the Dolby ATMOS one force closed, and V4A didn't sound any different. I'm sure it works but those guys spend so much time embellishing I can't read their threads to find troubleshooting steps... or clear instructions. Obviously still teenagers.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MiMtnBiker:
Hi,

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do I obtain a log to verify aptX is working? I am using a set of LG Tone Active (HBS-A80) headset that has aptX support. Sound is phenomenal, but I can't tell if it's due to the newest LOS update or this mod as I haven't listened to them in a few days.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tron1:
For me the traditional linux way worked. Open a terminal and type "dmesg |grep apt" or "dmesg |grep apt-x". But first you have to start a audio session with your headset.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MiMtnBiker:

[ONE General] Gawd:
If there's memory leak in the source, it will be there in all the derived ROMs. But you need not worry about it. Sources are quite stable and memory management must be equally good.

However, it can be a bit different on suppose an AOSP based ROM vs a LineageOS based ROM. This is also very kernel dependent. You should try them out yourself and see! Good luck.
