More detail: Xem hướng dẫn tại đây: http://android24h.com/threads/460/

Thanks for those information and file links i was able to root my lte. though it took me quite awhile to successfully root. more power to you nguyenhonganh!!!
Btw my rom version is still v1.36. There is an update message that v1.43 is available but I'm hesitant to upgrade that version might restrict rooting. So I'm hanging on to 1.36 until someone confirms root success on the latest rom version

Hello friend, SKY website does not warrant custom recovery, you must install original recovery before flash online.
Anyone can jump original recovery.img for this guy?

does anyone know a custom rom or solution that can fix 80 character limitation of the Sky A820L LTE? I've tried Go sms, Handscent, etc. all these apps still cant go past 80 characters. Message sending will fail if byte count exceeds 80.

Welcome to the BLU Life One Wiki: Where you can find all sorts of information about this device.
BLU Products Development Team is brought to you by G+ & Facebook.
We are an open community/group, this community is dedicated to anyone who owns a device made by BLU.
We are here to help in any way we can, so do not hesitate to ask questions.
Below I will post various Information/root tools/mods/ect for the BLU Life One.
***IMPORTANT READ BELOW***
Before we begin, to relieve some confusion with the information inside of the the links below: The BLU LIFE ONE is a device very similar to another phone called the Micromax Canvas 4 or should I rather say that device is very similar to the Life One, anyways I wanted to let you guys know because on some of the links posted down below you will notice that some of the ROMS/Root tools are for the Canvas 4 but do not be afraid. THIS IS NORMAL :good:, the Micromax Canvas 4 is the exactly the same as the Blu Life One. They both run on a MediaTek MT6589 A7 quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz. So ALL of the custom ROMS out for that device should & will work on our device

Insecure boot.img for Blu Life One, L120, version 6.1
Here is a modified boot.img with ro.secure=0 and ro.debuggable=1 set in default prop, to allow rooted adb. only of benefit if you need to capture boot logs etc. Kernel is unmodified.
This is from BLO software version 6.1 from the 8/08/13 ota update. If you're running something else, use caution.
After backing up your original (see below), apply by entering bootloader, holding down both volume buttons during power on, then go to recovery and select fastboot.
Then on your computer:
fastboot flash boot bootimg.BLO-L120.v6.1.insecure.img
fastboot continue
It works for me once flashed, but the normal caveats apply eg your new paperweight. If for any reason it doesn't work or you need to restore your original, you should hopefully be able to apply your backup bootimg with the same method. I cannot get this or the original bootimg to boot 'live' from fastboot, without flashing.
First, make a backup of your original bootimg on your phone with dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=512 skip=68608 count=12288 of=/sdcard/bootimg.orginal.img
and then
adb pull /sdcard/bootimg.orginal.img off your phone

Is it correct that one can use Micromax Canvas 4 roms?

Hi there, based on my experience you can use the Micromax Canvas 4 ROM's. We aware of one thing: in my case I've lost some of the radio 3G frequencies by flashing a Micromax ROM and I had to go back to the stock ROM. This may or may not affect you depending on where you are, in my case I lost AT&T's 3G and had to go back. NeroD is working on a fix, so we could basically flash the radio (modem.img), on top of any Micromax ROM and get all the frequencies back. I'll report once it's done.

Modem/Radio if you use a Micromax ROM
Hi there,
If you use a Micromax Canvas 4 ROM on the BLU L120 (Life One), you'll loose some of the phone radio 3G bands and, of course, the 3G data speed in the US (at least with AT&T). The phone will only connect at EDGE speeds. This happens because a different radio, specific for the Micromax, get's flashed with the ROM. This has been my experience.
There's a solution: I've created a flashable .zip file that you can use in CWM right after you have flashed your favorite ROM.
I've tried it with the PureXperiaZ2 ROM and it works perfectly fine! Again, just flash the ROM and, then flash the attached .zip and you'll have the stock radio for the BLU on a Micromax ROM.
Enjoy!

add additional language BLU Life One L120
Hello guys i'm writing you here because i'm having a huge problem with my phone. My phone is BLU Life One L120 DUAL SIM and it's running Android 4.2.1, the Kernel version is 3.4.5 (brought from USA - Unlocked) and is having only 5,6 system languages... and all i need is my Bulgarian language, because i want to give it to my mother to use it..
I've tried bunch of ****s and i've read a lot of stuff but it didn't change my language... for example, i've used app named More Locale 2., i've watched some videos and made some tries with Android language project app & etc... but it didn't help
I've rooted my device, i've installed ROM manager but he's not recognizing my phone so i'm having also problem there, because i can't flash anything and i don't know what to do...
I was planning to reinstall the OS and try all of that all over again, but without the ClockworkMod recognition i'm helpless and i can't do almost anything.. I've also installed app "Flasher", which in the begining started to work only with the .zip files (cause i was having 1,2 prepared zips from Android language project programme) but still it didn't helped
So... I'm asking you, can you please give me some advice how to fix this problem and give my ****ing phone to my mother finally, because she's very annoying somethimes..

Can someone help me? I tried rooting my phone using each method but they all say failed. My drivers are correctly installed and i followed each instruction correctly. Is there something else I can do?

Baseband version unknown
Hi,
I have a BLO L200 and I installed a custom ROM. Then the "Baseband version" has changed to "unknown" and I can't make calls. The SIM Card management doesn't work anymore.
So I flashed back a STOCK ROM and the problem remains.
(I have a backup of IMEI)
Can someone help me, please?

Hello,
I have a problem, my Wi-Fi connection is slower than before and i don't know the reason which made it like this.
(only takes signal from close distance)
I rooted the device before couple of months and my recovery is TWRP, i tried to do soft reset the phone, but it is not working either - actually it's doing it in the beginning, but when it restarts - nothing has changed, all the apps are there, everything's there
Then I moved forward to step two - hard reset, it's not giving me to enter the recovery mode (not TWRP, not CWM, nothing..) - it's showing the boot screen of BLU and again it runs normally without any change at all. I tried enter cwm/twrp from the phone, using the SyS Updater app, TWRP app, CWM app for factory reset and again, no change...
I removed the sim card & memory card, it's not that... i don't know what else could i do. It's dual sim phone, do you thing it has some meaning ?
Can you advice me somehow or have anyone having the same/similar problem ?

I need help
...
Good morning , I hope someone can help me , my life one blu L120 , was root, and titanium backup , a process turned out the gallery , and the phone did not work anymore , so now this on blu logo and does not start . what can i do?

Bro, it sure sounds like you: (a) do not have BUSYBOX installed on the phone, and/or (b) you forgot to turn USB DEBUGGING back on!
Don't forget to hit THANKS if I helped. Happens to the best of us. Duh! LOL.

Hi,
I know I'm late to the party but I just picked up a BLU Life One cheap. So far I like the phone but the one thing driving me crazy is that after about 10 seconds the screen dims - whether auto-brightness is checked or not. I've found that it corresponds to the capacitive buttons (back, menu, home) turning off. It's surprising that there is no setting to keep the lights on or off.
I have rooted and installed Xposed Framework but have yet to find the module that can control this. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Edit:
So I've discovered that the screen dimming issue is a BLU thing. After flashing a couple of the Micromax A210 roms, the screen dimming issue goes away. Unfortunately, my data speeds drop down to edge, as pointed out by cabegol. I tried flashing his modem fix, but to no avail. I will try again next weekend when I have more time to play with the phone.

Been looking for information on the new Blu Life One 4g LTE (Blu really needs to deal with their screwed-up phone naming scheme) with no joy. Suggestions?

looking at this phone for my kid
My daughter ended up with my gen one galaxy nexus.
now that i am equiping the kids with phones, I expected her to want an iphone. Nope, she likes her android.
So it looks like i need to pick a phone. This one looks pretty good.
Is everyone happy with it?

I recently got the new Blu Life One. Is my first Android phone, and i choose it because it was really cheap on Amazon. I'm happy with it right now, but, if you want more info about it, you should look for a review or wait until it became more popular in this forum.
Hope this would help.

Hello everyone, i have a problem with soft & hard reset of my phone.
If my thread is not on the right place, move it then, i apologize.
I am going to give you as much as information i have. My phone is BLU Life One L120 which is having a duplicate Micromax Canvas 4 A210 which is having the same chipset as i read into my thread for my BLU. Basically what i want to do now is just to soft or hard reset my phone... it sound easy i know but i wouldn't be asking if i haven't got an issue.
First of all i am using stock version 4.2.1 and kernal 3.4.5
I believe that i am having my drivers which i found in my official BLU Life One thread - http://d-h.st/U8e , also i tried with All MTK USB drivers 2014 http://androidurdu.net/mediatek-adb-...t65xx-support/
However i am able to transfer files between my pc & phone but when i try to root the device (i tried with Kingo root/ One click root/ Framaroot) it isn't recognizing my device or is unplugged, which is not true. I remember that once ago i installed TWRP recovery but i can't access from there no longer and i don't know the reason of that, otherwise i would reset it from there. Eventually recently i uninstalled superSU app and now i don't have root access anymore, which grow as a problem also. I checked it with RootChecker app. Also when i was doing both the soft and hard reset i removed the both SIMs & SD card just to be sure that i am doing it right.
When i use the soft reset it's giving me the option to run it but when it restarts it's all the same, nothing changes. It's the same with hard reset when i try to enter into Recovery mode.
Q: Why do i want to soft & hard reset it ?
A1: The first reason is that not a long ago my wi-fi signal got weaker despite that i'm next to my router and it was not like that when i bought it firstly and i want to use it instead of paying for it. I read a lot of stuff, but i can't find anything exactly the same.. which is why that i believe that if i reset it, it may went back normally.
A2: The second reason is that i just want to change my factory rom with a custom one, because the phone is having a great performance
Latest information is that i rooted again the phone with Framaroot, i've checked it just to be sure, i've installed the TWRP img file.... and still - no change with the same steps i made before, i'm starting to think that its maybe a hardware issue ?
I do need your help and i'd be very satisfied if i get it :highfive:

It took two OTA updates, then I got around to using this. so i installed twrp, then did a full nandroid backup. after that flashed the stock Nougat update minus the recovery. all was fine, and i let it update and restore all my apps. then i went back to twrp and flashed the newest SuperSU zip from their site. now im rooted on nougat, & totally loving this phone. best $200 ive spent in a long time

Hmm - I think I was wrong :-/
The wheel has to be reinvented because of an non working TWRP with (some) devices that have been upgraded to Android 7 Nougat.
Some users (including me) facing the problem that the recovery won't start properly even after successful flash of recovery partition with the most recent available version of TWRP (provided by UMi).
These users got the "no command" text presented.
An common but not helping tip in the UMi forum is to press VolUp + Power Button but it changes nothing.
Also downgrading to Android 6 and installing TWRP is mentioned often.
When downgrading to Android 6 some users are running in the next problem: an black screen
Some users are reporting an working TWRP even after upgrade to Android 7.
In conclusion i'd like to speculate:
There are at least 2 different hardware versions.
A new one that can't be run with the downloadable Android 6 provided by UMi and an old one that can be down- and upgraded.
This may also be the reason why TWRP is running for some users and for others it did'nt.
I would be pleased to read your feedback.
Did you run in similar trouble and do we have a mass problem?
Did you found any solution?

Hey mate,
I have the same rare UMi PLUS. Here is how I fixed mine.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...y-twrp-cwm-t3385733/post70644780#post70644780
There is a custom built TWRP, with no touch screen functionality. You need to use OTG mouse/keyboard or console commands to root. Took me ages to sort it out, but the SOLUTION is in the above link.
I would love if @jemmini could create a working touch screen TWRP for us! Hint hint, nudge nudge, poke poke! I have tried to create/toyed with porting TWRP myself but am not skilled enough with the kernel modification required to make the touchscreen work. If anyone can explain/teach us how to fix the kernel ourselves, I would be eternally grateful! :good: 'Teach a man to fish' and all that!

Hey @shadimar69!
Thanks for the hint & link.
I found it also earlier but had not posted an self-reply here
There is an incoming new OTA and SPFT (http://www.mediafire.com/file/hh1069alx7v8i6i/PLUS.V3.02_20170208_c239v55_kw_u3_no-DB.rar) maybe it's worth to wait for that because TWRP has should be modified again ...
I could'nt state feedback for that because my girlfriends UMI PLUS is broken and has been send back to amazon for refund :-/

Hi @raupe,
I have been running this 'update' for the last 12 days give or take. It seems good, only BIG bug I have is the touch sensitivity around the ROM is very low. You have to press the screen really hard to get a touch register, but in some apps like Chrome its fine. GPS works fine, bluetooth, etc all the other issues people seem to have are fixed. (for me anyways) Will be good when the next build is released.

Don't you wish Android rooting process was a lil bit easy rooting the LGV20 was a real pain somewhat unstable but it has its ups!

Is there any progress for a new TWRP with working touchsreen for these rare UMI Plus?
I have the same problem like @raupe and since I'm new to UMI, I read a lot of pages in a lot of forums, but no one seem to have a properly working recovery for this kind of UMI Plus.
These days I updated to 20170412_c239v55_kw_u3 firmware and managed to boot successfully the "no-touch"-TWRP.
Now I ordered an OTG cable, but meanwhile I was wondering, if there isn't any new TWRP without this little problem?
Thanks,

Nubia X: ROOT, TWRP and GAPPS

Attention: This is a post aimed for Developers only! Check the How-To instead!
Welcome to this progress Thread.
In this thread im going to collect links, thinks I have done at my own and other stuff related to making the Nubia X more useful outside china.
CHECKPOINTS:
ROOT ✓
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER ✓
FLASH Original Recovery ✓
GENERATE Tree
COMPILE TWRP for Nubia X NX616J
FLASH TWRP X
FLASH GApps X/✓ (partial working)
LINKS:
TWRP for a new device: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32965365#post32965365 (because nubia x is not officially supported yet, but im working on it).
ROOT Nubia X: bbs.nubia.cn/thread-1396991-1-1.html (The toolkit, as messed up as it looks, works just fine. Close the first window and click root while having an OEM unlocked phone).
ORIGINAL ROM (will upload it on mega because the chinese provider is absolut unusable) <- edit later :good:
What I've done so far is successfully rooting the phone (using the toolkit above), unlocking the bootloader (i guess) with
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX616J
where NUBIA_NX616J is the pass.
After running this command you will get the following output:
Code:
(bootloader) START update nubia fastboot unlock flag!!!
(bootloader) set state to 1 ok!!!
OKAY [ 0.009s]
Finished. Total time: 0.010s
And after this, you can simply flash using
Code:
fastboot flash <partition> <filename>.img
.
Im currently checking the specs for the device so I can compile a TWRP for it.
Also, you can't flash Gapps right now because TWRP is unavailable as long as I / or someone else don't create a device tree for this phone.
But you can install all GApps apk's (most importantly the Google Service Framework (GSM) apk). After that, just convert the apps
to system apps using Link2SD App. (Search App -> Options -> Convert to System App (or: Include Update to System....).
Actually, I guess I finished the device tree.
Check this one out:
https://mega.nz/#!HiZQkApR!473uATQeZp224i_aka84bYszYlPnlsyo0dDaJp32NZo
If this is the right one, we could successfully compile TWRP for this device! :fingers-crossed:
Alright, I need to change stuff but here's what I have right now:
The phone is a bit tricky when it comes to partitions.
But I've managed to get all the required stuff ready to set up TWRP.
Maybe I'll try the compiled version on my own or I'll force br_other to test it out >!
Well check back here later, for updates.
LAST CHECKPOINT: 13.12.2018.

Please note:
If youdo that operation through the tool mentioned in the link above, be careful with the Magisk installed.
Do not upgrade it, because the phone will go into a bootloop (like me ).
Although you can recover it from that stage, it's pretty annoying, especially if you don't have data backup.

Yes, that's right don't do that.
Use Google Translate to translate the Chinese Tutorial (Important, I can't re-upload it because it's not mine!).
And create a backup before doing anything.
It's not that likely to happen that your phone is brick after doing these steps but it might be possible.
Be careful bois.
Another thing to mention:
Don't run any ADB commands mentioned above!
This is not a Tutorial - this is a progress thread for other Developer (and for people interested in rooting their nubia).

Thats awesome! I'm searching everywhere for a rundown on how to do this. I am a novice when it comes to phones but would love to get my nubia x working with google play store. I know this is for developers but is their any guide around to show how this can be done?

This will be so amazing! Dont know how to thank you enough your a hero.

hi all, I'm new here, I'm thinking of buying this Nubia X, but I'm worried that Google Play won't work. Do the main apps, such as Maps, Gmail or Google Play and google play game updates work?

Download Tool
Hi guys,
is there any Possibility to Download the Root tool, without any failures or additional stuff?
I dont speak any chinese and the given Mirrors are both unusable.
The one from Micro Cloud jus doesnt open and the other one from Baidu Cloud asks me to download the Baidu software, no matter what i click.
Does anyone know how or where to download the tool except from using the Baidu Manager?

Hey guys,
Sorry - I was too tired to do the tutorial yesterday.
But imma do it now !
The phone works perfectly (in the view of a developer) with the Google Apps.
Im looking forward to get TWRP working with that phone when I have more free-time.
Until then, sure, the phone is perfectly usable.
Check back in a few hours, I will create a new thread or update this one.
Cheers :victory:

Hey Teeemoo
I got my Nubia X today and waiting you because i felt how important is google services once i used the nubia X.
Cheers

You are AMAZING!!!!
Thank you, and also, if it's not too much trouble, could you mirror the files somewhere else besides Baidu?
Thanks again

And keep in mind, don't update the phone yet - there is no guarantee that this tut will work with the new version.

Hi guys,
I need a very big help for my Nubia x.
Today I have updated my Nubia x via otg with new Rom V 2.20. Everything worked very well, but after I have made a big mistake trying to root it but I have completely bricked my phone.
No recovery anymore. It's only possible to connect via EDL with Nubia Emergency tool 1.1.6 but that version it's not yet available for Nubia x.
I ask if someone have some tool or files to get it back in life.
Thank you very much and Merry Christmas

Hi,
If you have access to fastboot and / or bootloader we can try to flash the original boot and recovery image.
Just send me a PM with details and I'll try to connect via TeamViewer in order to help you.
Cheers

I'm curious. Can you please give some more details here?
You said you did update it via OTG? Does it means you did that trough the recovery mode?
Also was the phone rooted before that?
Also as my friend said - check if you can go in recovery and try the fastboot access as well.
Post some update of your progress as well.

Probably when you flashed the firmware through fastboot you have overwritten the files in there. As your bootloader is unlocked the better would be to flash a custom recovery on it and then pull all the files you want.

Hi SubwayChamp,
Good Day. Yea - i do agree your point of view, First of all thanks for your reply.
I flash my ROM previously on this device too , after complete the flash it working well.
Before i flash the ROM , the device perform auto upgrade but half way no battery & it force to shut down , after reopen it stuck at MI logo so without any choice i only choose to flash the ROM.
Actually i am not so expert on android ROM, by the way what is different between custom recovery vs those i got from XiaoMi official ROM ?
Mind tell me more on how to fix it please ?
Thank you

To know which direction to take, first we have to know how exactly you flashed the ROM you mentioned, which ROM was and through which tool.

Hi SubwayChamp,
Good Day. thanks for your reply.
I using official xiaomi - MiFlash as the tools to reflash the ROM.
ROM that i use - ferrari_global_images_6.7.5_20160523.0000.23_5.0_global
You may find attached Flash Log as reference.
Hope you can give me some good idea to resolve this issue.
Thank you

I saw in your other thread flashing process took only 94s, if it is the case then it's not flashing properly.
From the three options that's above on the tool, don't remember to use only the option format data, not relock bootloader or try to keep your data. (picture of reference)

"lightbox_next": "Next",

And also in case you used fastboot to flash your device, I recommend you try through EDL mode

Hi SubwayChamp,
Thanks for prompt reply.
I think what you mentioned make sense - it's not flashing properly.
My Question
================
1) Related with Option to Flash
I am using save user data option at this moment.
But the option you suggest clean all & Lock will clear all my existing Picture or File from this mobile right?
2) Related your recommendation EDL mode
I don't think i able go others mode except Fastboot now because whenever my mobile open it's in Fastboot only.
Sorry to say actually study computing but i am newbie in all these , i don't even know what's EDL mode.
Thanks for your input.

Not the option Clean all & Lock because this will lead your hopes even far distant, a locked device with Qualcomm only can be flashed through EDL mode, fastboot mode will be impossible if you relock bootloader. I suggested using the option Format data because WHEN the flashing is successful one of the things that avoid the device to boot normally is the old data that it is still there. Anyway, this won't make difference while you don't get the tool to flash properly.

Some Xiaomi devices, while bootloader is unlocked can be sent to EDL mode using hardware buttons, with device off pressing the both volume buttons at exactly the same time you connect your device to PC, in case this method doesn't work you should need to use "the test point method" is a way slightly difficult to get it but... to flash through EDL mode you need to install the Qualcomm 9008 USB drivers https://www.thecustomdroid.com/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-drivers/
And if you want to keep trying in fastboot mode, you could switch to other Mi Flash tool versions if it makes difference. Always is better to move all your firmware to the same directory where Mi Flash tool is, also avoid all the spaces in the path/name.
