its not rooted device

what is the command line to see the codename ?
[General Questions and Answers] mikele2016:
In build.prop I can see :

ro.build.version codename = REL

ro.product.device=BLU_ADVANCE_5.0_HD

when I open a terminal I see:

u0_a133@BLU_ADVANCE_5.0_HD:/$

this is what you want ? So the codename is BLU_ADVANCE_5.0_HD

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] ramiabouzahra:
You don't even need to do anything or have root access, just open a terminal window and see what text is there, don't you're anything
[General Questions and Answers] mikele2016:
u0_a133@BLU_ADVANCE_5.0_HD:/

[General Questions and Answers] ramiabouzahra:
Huh, no offense to the creators but that is a pretty dumb name, anyway, you have fastboot and adb access right? I will try and have a check at the twrp image and see if I can verify that it is for the correct device and if you don't know how to flash it, a guide on that as well :)

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

Update: The website seems genuine. Using an mtk flashing tool you can flash this file (youtube guide) and then using the supersu zip you've downloaded, use the methods I mentioned in my first post.

Good luck! :)
[General Questions and Answers] mikele2016:
Yes its the device name. Thanks for your help I appreciate. The root process is often described on many website but there seems to be a doubt about a possible boot loop problem depending on the command executed... so I will follow your guide for sure.
[General Questions and Answers] mikele2016:
I do not really understand.. You say I have to use MTK Flashing Tool+ADB + TWRP + SuperSU ... ?? I need two more university years ...
[General Questions and Answers] ramiabouzahra:
Should work with just using the mtk flashing tool to flash twrp then flash SuperSU. If it says something about bootloader being locked, just boot I to fastboot via adb and do fastboot oem unloc.
[General Questions and Answers] mikele2016:
hey thank you so much for help I appreciate ! I understand that if i use adb to unlock the bootloader this will erase all my data right ? but if I use mtk flashing tool I get a chance to do a clean root to save my data right ?
[General Questions and Answers] ramiabouzahra:
It's fastboot to unlock bootloader, and I believe you're correct. Though, always make backups.

lack of codename in Blu phone

I believe that Blu is a Chinese manufacturer (not just made in China, but also designed/engineered in China) They aren't going to come up with clever code names (unless they have Chinese codenames that just aren't in the phone itself ). I'd personally like to more about Blu as a company. It's fun for Apple fans, for example, to know about the behind-the-scenes design decisions about iPhones. It's not easy to find any info like that on manufacturers like Blu.

About iPhone I had iPhone 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and now the BLU and I can say that I love this BLU !!! I did not re-open my iPhone since I bought this phone, the phone sound quality is very very very better than iPhone... I mean if we compare the both we can say that the iphone is NOT a true phone and if you look to the OS frankly android is TRUE open OS where IOS is totally closed and unjailbreakable now...

Download blutwrp.img from here https://bluroms.info/modifiedrecovery/blu-advance-5-0-twrp/

Download SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip from here: https://download.chainfire.eu/1220/SuperSU/SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip?retrieve_file=1

Install ADB

Enable Developer Options

Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking in developer options

Plugin phone into USB

Run "adb devices". If the phone is not listed in command output STOP here.

Run "adb reboot bootloader"

Run "fastboot devices". If the phone is not listed in command output STOP here.

Run "fastboot oem unlock". Phone will ask you to say Yes/No. You need to say "Yes" to proceed. This will wipe the phone and all your data. Hit volume UP to proceed.

Unplug and hit the button to Reboot the phone. WAIT!!! It will take a few minutes to it. If the phone gets stuck for over 10 minutes, force-reboot it, by holding Volume Up and power button for 10 seconds.

Reboot the phone and go through setup adter it is done:

Run "adb reboot bootloader"

Run "fastboot boot blutwrp.img". Because this image locked some phones I find it safer to just boot of it without replacing stock recovery.

On phone, you should be asked to "Swipe right to allow modification". Do so.

Run "adb push SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip /"

On phone hit "Install". Hit "Go up a level", scroll down to find SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip and tap it.

Swipe right again to install.

Reboot the phone

After the phone reboots remove potential malware:

Start SuperSu app once.

run "adb shell"

once in shell:

su (it might take a minute for the phone to ask you to grant permission. Do it.)

mount -o rw,remount /system

rm -rf /system/app/AdupsFotaReboot

rm -rf /system/app/AdupsFota

rm -rf /data/data/com.adups.fota

rm -rf /data/data/com.adups.fota.sysoper

rm -rf /system/app/Ignite

rm -rf /data/data/com.dti.blu

rm -rf /system/priv-app/BLUHelp

rm -rf /data/data/com.warranteer.helper.blu

rm -rf /system/priv-app/PreinstallProvider-utm_source-utm_campaign-oem_BLU_us

rm -rf /data/data/com.opera.preinstall

mount -o ro,remount,ro /system

exit

exit

Unplug phone, disable USB debugging and that should be it.

Hi,

I have this strange problem on my device...here's the description of the bug -

- When i have a phone call active, the start button goes dead...I cant click on the start button :( Even if i press the Win key, the start menu doesnt roll out.

- however, the close button and the volume icons are active

- when i try to tap and hold on the clock (to change between analog and digital), i get the circle of dots, but at the end i dont get the menu options for switching between the two modes.

- when i end the call, the start button is still disabled. If i have to re-enable it, I need to press the POWER button to turn off my device and turn it back ON, then it gets active again. However, this works only after i end the active call.

This started to happen ever since i installed one of the roms/radio roms (which i dont remember) and now, it happens on any ROM that i flash it with :(

I have no clue as to whats broken and this seriously gets on my nerves :(

Any suggestions or ideas?

thanks!

On a side note, your v6 rom is just amazing! I love it for its great stability on my device, and not to mention the perfect balance in terms of applications it comes with etc.!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beast0898:
Hi Dreamtheater,

Enter BootLoader, connect to pc with USB, load, MTTY and type "Task 28 55aa" this will restore DOC to original state.

You will loose all info on your device so back-up first.

More details in the Wiki

Cheers,

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sofene:
Before you try the DOC format, try re-flashing the radio only rom. If you are using v 1.18 or 1.17, try 1.15 which is more stable.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dreamtheater39:
thanks dude!

Successfully formatted the doc, now reinstalling the rom....lets hope this solves the problem...

really appreciate your help m8!

Best,

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dreamtheater39:
I was running on R1.15...now i'm trying 1.17! :)

You suspect the problem to be with the radio? I guessed as much too...but it seemed like it happened two different radios and all the OS roms. Maybe something was screwed at DOC level, hopefully the doc format should work....

thanks!

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dreamtheater39:
Still no luck :(

I formatted the DOC and reinstalled everything, and it still fails...

All i need to do is, dial a number, shut the lid, re-open it and then try to click on the start button, doesnt respond :(

Everything below is functional.....

Sad :-(((

Why me??!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dreamtheater39:

@beasty, ranju

Any other suggestions? This is such a wierd problem. Is there something like a format of radio section on the device?

Thanks,

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tomal:
This is a very typical problem, I've no solid answer.

But lets try...

1. Run the CID unlock tool

2. Unplug the battery and plugin back after a few minutes

3. Start the device in BL

4. Flash the Radio 1.09, an original OS rom (i.e. from O2) and an empty extrom

5. Hard reset, screen align etc. (do not install anything)

6. Check the device status ....

Are you having the same problem?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dreamtheater39:
thanks ranju,

let me give this a spin now....i'll post back after i try it. one thing though, when i tried a wm5 based rom, this issue didnt turn up.

one thing though....i actually cooked my own rom using a wm5 rom base and replaced the phone and outlook apps from wm6 and tried to run it. the phone module never powered on, and nothing worked....and went back to a wm6 rom after which. i'm not too sure if this has triggered these problems or a bad wm6 rom which i've flashed (i remember mo3ulla's rom which never worked for me and fubared my device completely....this could also be the cause....)

either ways, still hunting for a possible fix, and thanks so much for helping out! will post back bro....

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beast0898:
Hi San,

If you have a history file in the root of your device can you post it for us please?

If not do you have access to Visual Studio and Platform Builder so that you can get a KITL output of this in action, then post the KITL for us?

Also, are you running any taskamanagers or additional apps?

Does the issue occur straight after a clean flash of a Vanilla Rom?

Cheers,

Beasty
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dreamtheater39:
@beasty

Here's history.txt attached....

I have visual studio, but i dont have platform builder....so i'm afraid thats not possible. If you could point me as to where i can get it, I could give it a shot.

Right now i'm going to radio 1.09, and checking if its a radio incompatibility issue...doubt it though.....

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dreamtheater39:
Oh dudes! I guess i figured out what's causing the problem, though i have no idea how to fix this!!!!!!

All this has started when my exchange service provider has migrated to exchange 2007 which makes it mandatory for me to have a password for my device. I have a 24 hr time out for the password, pretty much making the need for a password useless....

When i make a call and leave the lid open and continue to talk - no problems! the start button works as it should....

but the moment i close the lid and pull it open again, it seems like the display blanks and redraws (only happens if you have a password for your device), and thats when the start button gets disabled! Now, the only way out is to end the call, power off and then power on again......

This is confirmed, but how do i fix the problem? I should have a password, cant disable it.....and i always close the lid when i make a call! MS bug????

Thanks again ranju, beasty.....really appreciate it!

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dreamtheater39:
knock knock! :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beast0898:
Who's there?

There are some known issues with password screen causing issues on some roms mate.

All I can suggest is dig through the forums to see if you can find a fix posted............I think J had a similar issue with one of his Roms and it was discussed in detail............

or flash to a different Rom and see if it is reproduceable.

later San

Can´t get twrp to work on z5c

Hi guys!

I just bought a new Z5C and already saved TA, unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp (twice - 3.0.2 with rootkernel, this 3.1.1 with fastboot). All on Android 5.1.1 (32.0.A.6.200) stock rom. Now the phone is working and rooted with SuperSU.

Problem:

I can only start the old 3.0.2 twrp inside the kernel with pressing volume up when led is yellow but I can´t start 3.1.1 with power + volume down. I don´t get a purple led and most of times it just starts Android. Sometimes it gets stuck on Sony bootscreen (guess this happens when I did correct button combination but twrp fails to start?).

Any idea where the problem is?

fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery.img results in:

So everything should be ok, right?

Kernel can not be the problem as I understand as kernel has nothing to do with recovery, right?
