How I installed madOS (Oreo 8.1) on BLU Life One X (2016)

I finally succeeded it, after literally months of trial and error! So, I am writing this post in hope that someone who wants to install Oreo on Life One X in the future would find this post through Google search.
Here are the steps.
0. From this page (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-official-mados-wiko-fever-clones-t3762800), download the TWRP recovery and the madOS Oreo ROM.
1. Download the BLUEFEVER ROM from this page (https://www.npcglib.org/~stathis/blog/2016/04/13/turned-blu-life-one-x-wiko-fever-4g/).
2. Download the SP Flash Tool from the page above or through Google search. The version I used was 5.1812, which seemed to be the latest version.
3. Download the Universal ROM from this page (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/flashable-wiko-fever-stock-marshmallow-t3720484)
4. The critical things is you should not flash the Universal ROM as it is, because that bricked my One X. You need to copy "preloader_l5460.bin" and "secro.img" from BLUEFEVER in step 1 and overwrite them to the Universal ROM.
5. You need to install the Mediatek Driver. I used "MT65XX USB VCOM" driver. I found it using Google search, but forgot where I got it from. But with that name, I think you can find it.
6. Now start the Flash Tool, and and select the download agent in the Flash Tool directory (MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin), and select the scatter file in the Universal rom (MMX BLU), and then select "Format all + Download". Then, this is very important, press the download button BEFORE connecting the phone, otherwise it will not work.
7. Now, turn off the phone (I mean, power off, not just screen off) and then connect it to the PC. If the tool does not recognise the phone, press volume up + down at the same time when you connect it until the device connected sound comes from Windows.
8. Now the tool flashs the rom. Wait. It may take a few minutes.
9. If it is bricked, just leave it for a month until the battery drains and completely turns off, and then try flashing again.
10. Now, boot up the phone, go to Settings -> About and hit the build number several times to enable the developer menu.
11. In the developer menu, enable OEM unlocking.
12. Now, install the Google USB Driver. This can be easily found through a Google search. You need to get the "platform-tools" directory of the Android SDK, which can also be easily found.
13. Now, turn off the phone, and hold volume up + power button. The phone shows tiny menu (really tiny...). The first is recovery, the second is fast boot, and the third is normal. Choose fast boot. Type "fastboot oem unlock". You need to press the volume up button on the phone now.
14. Now the phone is unlocked. Type "fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp_wiko_fever_oreo.img" to flash the recovery.
15. Restart in the recovery using the 13th step.
16. Go to Wipe -> Format data and format the data, otherwise the recovery will not recognise the storage and will not boot.
17. Go to Open Gapps and get ARM64, 8.1, micro. Editions above micro will NOT install with an error message that says insufficient storage.
18. Now connect the phone to the PC. The TWRP recovery automatically mounts the storage to the PC so that you can copy files into it. Copy the mad OS rom ZIP from step 0 and the OpenGapps from step 17.
19. Flash the two using the install menu of TWRP.
20. Done.
I do not use One X as a phone, so I skipped the radio flashing steps. It currently shows the baseband is unknown. If you want to use the phone feature, I think you need to flash the radio img or something using the instructions somewhere in the linked posts.

How to flash eu rom on Redmi note 7 pro

Today I will teach you how I change my rom from miui china to miui eu rom. I am having problems regarding the tutorials on youtube because as of now there is still no English tutorials on it. But first let me give you some idea on how I did it. I am only using windows 7 professional and so I did tried to download the following:
1. platform tools
2. adb set up
3. adb folder
4. Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019

6. TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-violet-2019-03-22_20-44.img

The following guides that I use is from Technobuzz "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDcrO61AnZg" Its not me who made this but only modified some methods to make it work on mine.
But to no avail the platform tools doesnt work because of missing dll issues so possible its because I use an older model of windows. I tried to use adb folder but encountered some problems that in no luck i cant format the userdata till i got messed up my device and so Im having this error on recovery saying that system doesnt work anymore and need to press powerbutton in order for me to shut down my phone. and thus I brick my phone.

Btw I came from miui 10.3.5.0 China stable rom so this means I downgraded my phone. Its okay for me cause I can root or install custom recovery more efficiently.
Instructions:
1. Install the adb set up
2. Make sure you unlock your bootloader already.
3. Put the TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-violet-2019-03-22_20-44.img and rename it to recovery.img
4. Put the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019 and Patched_fstab+vbmeta+thermal on your memory card and your latest eu rom zip file.
5. Downgrade your phone to miui 10.2.5.0 china rom to ensure a good installation of your twrp
6. Go to adb folder open cmd from there(right click and click open command window here)
7. Switch off your phone then hold volume down then power button to enter fastboot mode
8. Connect your phone to the computer via USB
9. Type: fastboot devices(It will list down the devices attach with the number to be able to make sure that your device is attached)
10. Type: fastboot erase userdata and press enter(It will run wait for it to end)11. Type: fastboot flash recovery (It will run wait for it to end)
9. Disconnect your phone then hold volume up then click power button to enter recovery mode
10. Go to wipe section then format type yes( It will run wait for it to end)
11. Go to Installation click select storage then choose memory card
12. Install Patched_fstab+vbmeta+thermal and Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019
13. Go to wipe section then Advance wipe wipe the ff: dalvik cache, cache, system and data just ignore the vendor then swipe to wipe.
14. Install your latest eu rom on your sd card.

Confirm Fastboot mode pressing Volume up until you point/reach to the fastboot option and confirm pressing volume down to enter, wait for the fastboot message in your phone. Now, connect your phone to the pc using an good usb cable.
4. Type in the cmd screen
Code:
fastboot devices
command and check if the phone is being recognized. This command list the connected devices.
If your phone serial number shows up everything is fine, but if the phone serial number doesn't appear, you must reinstall mtk drivers or choose another usb cable.
5. Check the unlock oem
typing the command
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and press enter.
Alert: This procedure will erase your data and reset to the default configuration. Be careful! Check unlocked oem confirmation message on your phone screen.
6. Now is the moment of install the TWRP recovery.

Finally, choose the SuperSu zip file included in the folder, do a swipe, wait.
If you want, its possible install all the zip files as a bunch using the "add more zip option" that twrp offers to you, but I prefer do it each one by one.
12. Do a final wipe choosing "wipe Dalvik and Cache".
13. Now choose the restart/reboot option. Wait for the phone initial setup (around a couple of minutes)
14. Configure the phone with your android account preferences. install your favorite apps, sync your info, etc.

ROM Flashing GUIDE (Windows-Only)
First of all unlock bootloader of your device . Search net for more info.
After this install adb drivers from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...reborn-v2-0-adb-fastboot-and-drivers.3854109/
Choose skip install for adb and install google drivers.
Connect your device in fastboot mode to your pc.
Go into device manager , right click on unrecognized android device , choose update drivers , let me pick from a list of drivers , select adb drivers and click install.
Then go to your custom rom download thread and check the date of rom file(In this case derpfest).
Check the date of file.
Then go to xiaomifirmwareupdater.com and select rom archive and select your device.
Then MIUI downloads page will appear. type fastboot in search and look for a MIUI global version released
as the same or very close to the Custom ROM date (in this case it is this)
Download the fastboot version according to the date.
Go into the stock rom folder and double click on flash_all.bat(all data will be lost) .
Or open cmd in the folder and type flash_all.bat in cmd and hit enter.(This method allows to look for errors)
A cmd window will popup with fastboot commands automatically and after complete flashing of rom will close automatically. (approx. 20-25 mins)
Let the device boot into MIUI.
Once it boots, power it off . Then press the vol down + power button until fastboot in orange letters appear.
Then follow the twrp flashing guide from here
Then flash the ROM according to the instructions.
NOTE:
Make sure to always extract and move the stock rom folder in root of C: drive (this helps avoid flashing errors)The path should look something like this:
C:\beryllium_global_images_YourVersionhere
Then flash the stock rom.
Clean Flashing a ROM:
I hope you have followed the entire guide above before doing this step.
Reboot to recovery.
Format data.
Flash ROM file.
Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Reboot and enjoy.
Everytime you do a clean flash, you must redo all the steps above.
If a rom does not include flashing instructions, it requires a clean flash.
If a rom mentions to wipe something in advanced wipe , then wipe ONLY that and nothing else.
If rom mentions clean flash and not wiping of anything else then dont be smart to wipe anything unecessary.
If your rom mentions to use a specific recovery then use that instead
Always flash magisk after the first boot of your rom
If mtp not working or device not getting detected as a portable device in any recovery then watch this guide here: GUIDE
Do not replace the recovery or try to update recovery that comes with roms. This can brick your device
Enjoy!

Let the device boot into MIUI.
Once it boots power it off . Then press the vol down + power button until fastboot in orange letters appear.
Then follow the twrp flashing guide from here
Then flash the ROM according to the instructions.
NOTE:
Make sure to always extract and move the stock rom folder in root of home directory (this helps avoid flashing errors)The path should look something like this:
home\beryllium_global_images_YourVersionhere
Then flash the stock rom.
Clean Flashing a ROM:
I hope you have followed the entire guide above before doing this step.
Reboot to recovery.
Format data.
Flash ROM file.
Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Reboot and enjoy.
Everytime you do a clean flash, you must redo all the steps above.
If a rom does not include flashing instructions, it requires a clean flash.
If a rom mentions to wipe something in advanced wipe , then wipe ONLY that and nothing else.
If rom mentions clean flash and not wiping of anything else then dont be smart to wipe anything unecessary.
If your rom mentions to use a specific recovery then use that instead
Always flash magisk after the first boot of your rom
If mtp not working or device not getting detected as a portable device in any recovery then watch this guide here: GUIDE
Do not replace the recovery or try to update recovery that comes with roms. This can brick your device.
Enjoy!
