[General Questions and Answers] Xiione:
So, here's my problem:

I bought a Blu Life One X3 late last year since it was on sale for $150 ($100 lower than the current MSRP).

Since it was still a new release, I thought that the modders would come after it eventually, so I just waited it out.

Many months later, there has been little to no word about any sort of root method, it seems like the Life One X3 turned out to be very unpopular.

So far, I have been able to get it into the OEM unlock screen using adb, prompting a press of either of the volume buttons to confirm unlock, only that the volume up button won't do anything, and the volume down just cancels the process.

Any help at all?

Big thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Ferchito:

Hi Xiione,

I bought a couple of X3s recently and I was also expecting some development for them already but I only found your thread.

I think there are chances to root the X3 and install customs rooms since it has the same chipset as the BLU Vivo 5 (Chipset Mediatek MT6753, CPU Octa-core 1.3 GHz) and the Vivo 5 has extensive coverage and even kernel sources available. Vivo 5 doesn't have a fingerprint sensor but the BLU Life One X2 Mini has one that I'd be willing to bet is the same as the X3, so drivers may work for it too. This is the route I will follow but I'm only getting started with this stuff so it will probably take a few weeks to get some results.

Hopefully others will join :)

Cheers

Hey dude!

Glad to see at least one other living human that bought the same phone... good to hear that there might be some hope for this poor device after all.

I'm not so experienced in this area, so there is only so much I can achieve at the moment. I'm looking forward to hearing back from you if any developments arise, I'll do my best to dig around for a solution.

anyone find a method

ive been trying to find an one click to root my blu life 1x3 but no luck what so ever. Has any one had any luck yet:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
You will not find a one click root for that device. The problem is Blu is still recovery from their security scandal. So most people won't buy their devices.
[General Questions and Answers] Oscar_david:
funny thing is... i don't really consider rooting devices as necessary as it once was (for me). But still... it bugs me to no end i can't get this phone rooted.

I'm having the same problem as the OP.. i'm able to get into fastboot mode, but oem unlock option leads to a dead volume up button which leaves me nowhere. it really is to bad there's so little interest in BLU. they make decent phones at great prices, imo. but i also know they make it very difficult for developers as well.. difficult to get source and such. ...
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
They are unpopular due to the security issues the company has faced. Not to mention they are just rebranded chinese devices. Which is why sourse is hard to get for them as they dont really make the devices.
[General Questions and Answers] Oscar_david:
I understand the security concerns. However, it's inconceivable that they would not have source, regardless of where the phones come from. If they released the code, more secure versions of the OS could be made available.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
It's very common with rebranded Chinese phones. Micromax (and oem in India) had the same issue. The main issue is the oem doesn't release it as it's not required in China. And no it couldn't. The kernel source is only a small part of it.

Best bet is to be more selective with your next device purchase
[General Questions and Answers] Oscar_david:
That's funny.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Either way it's still the truth. Just do better research next time. Good luck.
[General Questions and Answers] Oscar_david:
No, really. You're hilarious!
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
I'm not the one that bought a joke of a device. Or spent money without doing any research. But ok. I have been doing this for decades. So good luck with that.

Do you do stand up?
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
I do. I'll be at your preschool later today after nap time so if your a good boy you might get to see it. If you can stay awake passed the puppet show.

Look here is the bottom line. You bought a joke of a device. Because you didn't do research. Now you have malware as well as it reporting to Chinese servers all your private info (you can look it up if you want.)

But to save you asking mommy for internet time

[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Well to be honest from your pic of devices 2 things are clear.

1. My shows would be above your station in life.

2. You couldn't afford my shows.

Look you were told all the help you are gonna get over the past year. And yet you keep trying. You know that's the text book definition of of insanity right?

Even if you managed to find the source guess what. Your bootloader is locked and there is no unlock. So if with the code You can do nothing. Not like you would be able to understand it even if you got it I fear.

Just accept that you messed up and move on. We all do it. It's called growing up.

Oh and next time you need help. Mugjt try a support site and not a developers site. But that might be above your head.
[General Questions and Answers] Oscar_david:
You really outdo yourself with every post. I am having a laugh.

But truly I say onto you: you don't understand my choice of devices. You ought to learn to let go and move on when that's the case case. Nobody and I really do mean nobody needs your condescension (read $h*t).
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
That is a BS excuse. With the internet you can have any device you want. Just save up for it. Its that simple. As for the condescension, you are ready far to much into things. You can get great devices for really cheap these days. I mean even almost good devices like Xiaomi are really cheap.

I was here long before you and ill be here modding devices and building the os for my device long after you are gone.

Let me explain. What happens to you and your device I really couldnt care less about nor does anyone here. It is your problem. Watch the Video if you are confused.

[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Well then I will count you as just stupid for buying a cheap phone if you have lots of money to spend.

With your history in devices well. What can I say.

Wow. You're so knowledgeable and articulate.

[General Questions and Answers] Ferchito:
I mean this TWRP boots from the recovery partition and works properly regarding screen, touches, adb, etc. but the information it contains about the rest of the partitions is wrong, meaning it can't mount /system, /data or /cache. Therefore it can't prevent the stock system from overwriting it with the stock recovery on the next normal boot.

You have to mount these partitions manually (from an adb shell) in order to install supersu or do anything.
[General Questions and Answers] Xiione:
OK, I think I have finally done everything correctly. The version of TWRP was installed properly, and the adb sideload of SuperSU seems to have worked properly according to the console in TWRP, but once I rebooted out of TWRP, I still do not have root, and the SuperSU is not installed. Any help?
[General Questions and Answers] Ferchito:
On this step:

"At this point you will see the SuperSU install script running on the phone and doing its magic (like patching the boot and system images to make the change permanent)."

Are you sure you saw these messages on the TRWP console?

When it -successfully- patches the boot and system images the next boot will come from them.

Only thing I can guess is you may have skipped creating the symbolic link the script is expecting...

Can you export the TWRP log to the computer and paste it here?

Please friend, upload a video. Following everything explained, the root was impossible. I repeated the process three times and I have not succeeded, every time I do I have to flash the firmware again because it does not go from the BLU logo with the white background, it does not even reach the bootanimation. Thank you! Excuse me, I'm using a translator!

PS: I have the bootloader blocked. The firmware used is BLU_L0150WW_V7.0.04.10_GENERIC 08-24-2018 11:09
[General Questions and Answers] Ferchito:
Hi there friend, I don't really have the chance to create a video. I did it with two phones with exactly the same firmware as yours (LU_L0150WW_V7.0.04.10_GENERIC 08-24-2018 11:09) and everything works just fine following every step of the guide I posted. Just make sure you are not forgetting anything.

Send me some contact info and I'll help you over WhatsApp or Viber. That will take less time than creating a video.
[General Questions and Answers] Xiione:
Yesterday, my phone randomly stopped booting to android. It wouldn't stop rebooting to TWRP, even if I chose to shut the device down within TWRP. I ended up using SP Flash Tool to flash the stock firmware and reinstall my apps. At this point, I'm too scared to try and replicate the process again, so I'll linger around until others are able to successfully complete the operation. Good luck to all!
[General Questions and Answers] Ferchito:
Hi Xiione,

It is not a RANDOM thing. BLU published a software update and the phone tried to apply it automatically. The normal boot was modified by the update to boot into recovery (expecting to have the original recovery which would complete the update) but instead finding the TWRP which ignores the update (and the loop repeats).

Same thing happened on both my phones earlier today and I used the opportunity to investigate how to modify a recovery image :D

I created a new recovery with the proper partition info and now, after the update ran on your stock image, you should be able to install *this* TWRP and root again with SuperSU.

Here's the fixed TWRP:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=18xAoFjZcZsgaJUJXZq8APQTTvm6mXO9c

I did it on my two phones and they are booting normally (and rooted of course)

Just install this one with the scatter file you already have and install SuperSU.

No need to even use Sideload, because now you can access all partitions normally from TWRP and the phone's internal storage from your computer.

Just copy the superSU zip to the phone and choose 'Install zip' from within TWRP.

Regards

Hey buddy, I followed your guide however sp flash tools says the scatter file has a invalid format 5011 and regardless of the edits i make to it it never wants to work. I tried every other way to get a scatter file for this device like from mtk driod tools however the 'block maps' are empty and it doesn't fully read the blu life one x3. I tried the scatter file prior to the security update and then i tried it after however it won't work.

scatter file not working

Hi guys, i tried the scatter file in sp tools however it won't work. I tried it prior to the security update by blu and after however it's the same. I tried editing the header to remove some of the '####" however nothing will work. I can't make a scatter file from mtk driod tools because it's not fully supported by the 6573 chipset and won't read the device properly. Any help guys? How did you guys make a scatter file? Just copy and paste into notepad? Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] jasonstackhouse:
The twrp file you have listed in your link works to boot recovery in twrp, however the new twrp file requires encryption. I have tried all working methods of side stepping the encryption that work on other devices. For example, I made sure to remove all screen locks, to none at all. This normally allows you to bypass the pin required to use twrp. Not In this instance though, even with no screen locks or pin in place the twrp file is still requiring a pin to decrypt trwp. I even tried setting a pin up for the screen lock, and when doing so the pin still fails to decrypt twrp. This renders twrp unusable.

Also, your previous method also fails, as twrp will not allow you to write to the device with the bootloader never being unlocked. The main issue preventing this phone from working with trwp is the bootloader. On my device the bootloader is un-named and fastboot will not allow the bootloader to be unlocked. I have tried everything possible to unlock the bootloader, and each time I am given the option to toggle the volume up key to unlock the bootloader and toggle down key to deny the bootloader unlock request. Unfortunately, volume up doesn't work, it's apparently disabled, so no matter how many times I press the up button nothing happens. The only options I have are to hit down bottom and deny the request, or let fatboot time out and it denies the request. My volume buttons work fine, so this is not a firmware issue, this is an issue with the ghetto, nameless bootloader the device comes with. I do have the oem unlock tab selected in Dev options too, so it's not a mistake on my end either. Hopefully someone will make an actual working breakthrough on this device.
[General Questions and Answers] jasonstackhouse:
The scatter file doesn't work for me either. I got a working scatter file from the stock rom, the download link I found for the stock rom is here http://www.mediafire.com/file/tk2o1m1kt6y46ux/BLU_L0150WW_V7.0.03.02_REPAIR_24-10-2017_1836.zip/file

The working scatter file I took out of the stock rom that works is attached to this post as well if you don't want to download the entire stock rom file.
[General Questions and Answers] rootblulifex3:
thank you for the scatter. I'm glad you mentioned the twrp being pin locked or whatever as i was just going to try and root it. From my understanding from contacting blu and endlessly searching google, a Chinese mt65 chipset coupled with blu actively going out of their way to put a lock on the bootloader means we are just about out of luck. Unless, like you say someone goes out of their way or finds some kind of breakthrough, the device is not popular enough and chipset is too old to hold on for luck. You can enable system ui tuner (some indian on youtube tutorial however you have to enable a certain setting in developer mode) for night mode and couple that with the Mira vision color temperature set to warm in the settings is the best way to remove the blue light without root. Youtube vanced, kiwi browser (chrome with no ads and night mode), retouch app. The best you can do without root. Hope this helps!
[General Questions and Answers] jasonstackhouse:
I just got my device rooted. Use the scatter I attached, than use the twrp file that ferchito posted, the one he fixed. What you need to do is hit cancel when twrp loads and asks for a password. Enter twrp, go to wipe section, once you are inside chose format device, this will remove the devices encryption. This will however delete your apps and data on the device. After reformatting, twrp is fixed. From here what I did, was loaded my micro SD with superuser zip, put the SD in the phone while still in twrp, switched the memory over from device to external, it takes a second to recognize the SD card, but it will. From there, I just flashed the super user zip, rebooted, the device will load rooted with super su installed.

An awesome bonus is, Blu will try to update the device to it's latest security patch, but will fail, it will boot into twrp, you just need to reboot system, and you will get a message saying that Blu failed to update it's latest software. This is a good thing, as Blu is essentially locked out of it's device now from pushing it's updates. They won't ever be updating this past Android 7 anyway. Twrp stays active and does not need to be reinstalled either, pretty sweet.
[General Questions and Answers] rootblulifex3:
Thanks for your help. However after flashing twrp phone wont turn on or isn't registered in device manager on windows....Hopefully it's not a hard brick. Would appreciate your assistance!

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

It ok i unbricked removing sim tray and holding power button for 60 seconds...phew! Not trying that again. thank you for your help and **** BLU! last 16:9 phone made is mate 10 that's decent so once this pos fails i'll get that.
[General Questions and Answers] jasonstackhouse:
Don't worry about bricking the device, it's almost impossible to do. When I was experimenting, trying to get this thing to root I soft bricked the device several times. How you know it's soft bricked, is it will just stay on that white screen with Blu logo on it. When that happened to me, I just flashed the stock recovery.img file from the stock rom download, via the SP application. I would just load that into the recovery slot in SP, after it was flashed it allowed the phone to reboot than I tried again with flashing the twrp recovery img file.

Def don't worry about bricking the device, at worst, if it doesn't load, just flash the entire stock rom using the scatter file location in the unzipped stock rom file. This boots the phone back to clean stock out of the box.
[General Questions and Answers] rootblulifex3:
Thanks for your input. Do you think at this point it's worth rooting? I already have night mode, ad free youtube and chrome and there's no roms for this device either. Do you think under-clocking and overclocking using root would be beneficial? What did install after getting root access that can't be achieved ordinarily.
[General Questions and Answers] rootblulifex3:
Hey man, I tried again and after flashing supersu zip and rebooting from twrp and I got the same error as you a white screen boot loop. Would you be able to help me out with instructions on where the stock recovery is so i can flash it? Is it the same procedure as flashing twrp but just selecting the stock recovery instead? Also what did you do differently the 2nd or 3rd time to get it to boot normally after flashing supersu? Thanks
