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

TECHNICAL STUFF (FILES)
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:

Purple Drake Lite from the G3 forum..

I tried Purple Drake as well.
Right after the tablet boots up after the temproot process, the command line says device found and then Error in red with a bunch of other stuff. It flashes too fast to read, cloees the cmd window and reboots my tablet.

You have to go through all the pc connections to install all the drivers... Mtp,ptp,charge. Once you get those installed make sure it is on ptp then eun purp drake lite..

Thanks for your work Shoxxy! Question for you though... after installing and creating a backup, I rebooted and tried clicking Restore just to make sure it worked and no backups are listed there. I can navigate to the backups using the TWRP file manager, but not through Restore.

@swizzel
I tried that as well. No joy. Thanks anyway. I will keep looking through the forums to see what I am missing.

I noticed that too, but after noticing it, I tapped the space just below Select Backup, when using the Materialized Theme shown below, and it then showed my backup.

I'm not sure if it's possible to do something similar to display the backup when using the default theme or not.

You were right. The theme is hiding the button apparently. I had clicked all over the place (I thought) and not found it, but just tried it again and it came up. I'm going to remove the theme and check again. Thanks for your help!
EDIT: Removing the TWRP theme solved the problem.

@Swizzle
I tried the drivers from the LG site and also the non-verizon driver from the purple drake thread.
I will try the other option you suggested.
Thank you all for the assistance!

So I gather the process for the 410LTE version to root is Purple Drake Lite first then TWRP? Or is TWRP optional? oh and sorry about the newbie question but what is the function of TWRP? Thanks in advance.
I got 2 from the recent ebay deals and want to root. Possibly want to get one of the T-Mobile plans (Harbor Mobile, basic-internet.com).

TWRP is kind of optional until we get some custom ROMs, which are in the works.
However, LG has never released the firmware for the V410, so installing TWRP and storing a nandroid backup isn't a bad idea.

its AT&T not releasing the stock software that is the problem. i believe there is a kdz for the v400 but AT&T keeps their stuff hush hush like someone is going to try and steal their awesome bloat formula.

I always figured it was an AT&T thing, not a manufacturer thing. I have an AT&T phone that hasn't had the firmware released since android 4.1.1. Every revision of the firmware right up to the current ones is available for the Canadian version of the same phone.
Luckily there are some great developers on XDA that support that phone quite nicely. It is great to start to see some more dev activity on this little tablet too. Thanks for all your hard work shoxxy (I hit the the button too)!

Please note I don't own this device and spend a lot of my free time bringing these builds for you to use and benefit from.
FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED.
THANKS.
DONATE ME HERE IF YOU WANT TO BUY ME A BEER OR HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED YOU
.

NOTE ON ROOTING WITH TWRP:
If you have kingroot installed remove this before rooting with SuperSU above or you will have issues.
Kingroot attempts to block Supersu so must be removed first by using the uninstaller in the Kingroot superuser app.

Absolutely NO feedback
Out of literally hundreds of people that have downloaded and benefitted from the files I've posted NOT ONE person has left ANY feedback whatsoever and only 5 have hit the thanks button and 2 very generous people have offered donations to whom I am very thankful.
As developers we need encouragement and ALL we ask is a quick click on the thanks button and a little feedback.
It's not too much to ask is it for hours of work on a device we don't even own?
XDA is a 2 way community, it's GIVE and TAKE not just TAKE.
Due to this I have decided I am not going to update the builds to the new TWRP v3.0.0-0.
Thank you.

Come on people. It is not asking to much to thank someone for giving us what we need to make our tablets much better. Over in the T-Mobile S6 thread we have the same issues. These devs do this for us in their spare time for free, so showing a little appreciation is not asking a lot.

Hi, sorry for the late reaction. I succesfully installed your custom recovery but than i had trouble with SD card, it wouldn't get locked in the slot so i couldn't try the backup and restore funtions.
Now SD problem is fixed but when i boot into recovery i get stock, TWRP is gone so first chance i get i'll try to flash it again (don't have a PC available right now).
It would be a shame if you would stop working on our device, you gave us a very important tool for witch i would like to thank you.

You don't need a pc. Extract the recovery.img from the .tar file and then flash with flashify.

I've not rooted yet and i'd like to have a backup before i do, so i guess i'll just wait a bit and flash with Odin.

I want to thank @ashyx for getting Root &TWRP for the Tab E. I bought my SM-T560NU one week ago today. The first thing I did when I got home was to search for Root & Recovery and I found this thread. Everything flashed fine for me. Without devs like @ashyx on XDA we would be stuck with ordinary Tablets & Phones. So make sure to hit the thanks button and post feedback to let them know if things are working or not. It's not that hard to do.

So make sure to hit the thanks button and post feedback to let them know if things are working or not. It's not that hard to do.

+1, I haven't tried it yet on my wife's SM-T560NU 'coz my wife always have the tablet with her. She wouldn't even let me get close to it since I screwed up her phone. I will report ASAP when I get a chance to steal the tablet and root it (hopefully successful).
Thanks to @ashyx in advance and to guys reporting back on their experience. Please keep the thread alive.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Smt560nu rom
Was anyone able to find the stock ROM for SM-T560NU on SAMMOBILE?
** EDIT ** I've tried two different computers, reinstalling samsung drivers and different ports. Can't seem to get past the setup connection step in ODIN. Does anyone have any suggestions?
** EDIT 2** Got it working! Thanks ashyx!

Mount Problem
When i tried to install a rom, it says 'Could not mount...blabla'. So I did go to the mount-tab and checked it for the second time and it still fails. Help me please

Hello! I have just finished reading through this thread and wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and dedication ashyx and the testers! I am about to purchase this tablet and wanted to know if model number SM-T560NZKUXAR is compatible with the files you created?
**edit** I just purchased the tablet and it is a SM-T560NU when I get home from work I will test this out and leave feed back

Are you attempting to flash the stock rom with twrp? As far as Im aware there is no custom rom for this device?

I apologize for the stupid question here, but if I am just wanting to do root do i have to flash twrp_2.8.7.0_sm-t560nu.tar first? Or can I just flash the root file

If you're talking about this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3300291
Then you don't need to install twrp.
However installing custom recovery and making a backup is one of the best mods you can do to your device.

When I got my Sm-t560nu last week the first thing I did was flash the TWRP 2.8.7.0 tar in ODIN, then I flashed the chainfire su file in ODIN to root it and everything went fine for me. After that I made a backup just like @ashyx suggested.

Ok thank you so much for all your help!! I did the root part successfully which is what I wanted. I don't understand the purpose of doing the twrp

TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. We also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.
Team Win was originally formed to work on porting WiMAX to CM7 for the HTC EVO 4G. After our work on the EVO 4G we wanted to work on a project that would work on more devices than just the EVO 4G and we settled on working on a recovery. Today TWRP is the leading custom recovery for Android phones.
A custom recovery is used for installing custom software on your device. This custom software can include smaller modifications like rooting your device or even replacing the firmware of the device with a completely custom "ROM" like OmniROM

As soon as I get a chance buddy. I've been working some crazy long days(60hrs/WK) and dealing with family issues.
Just stick around and hopefully me or another SlimDesire Dev will get to it ASAP.

Wow only one person well 2 now hit the thanks button. Show your thanks people.
Thanks by the way dev

Appreciate the love Josh, but I've been in the Android game here on XDA since 2008 and know that not all things are appreciated. No worries, Captain_Throwback deserves all the thanks for this build anyways.

You good bro I've been here since around 2008 myself. My first phone was HTC mytouch 4g lol and uneven the first Android phone the G1 and so forth. I know the G1 was the was the first Android phone but I didn't hear about rooting until HTC mytouch 4g. Been doing it ever since, I even ported few roms like MIUI. Maybe soon I will be porting to this device.

Hope this is not considered as spamming threads. I just think this message is relevant to this thread in particular since is TWRP-related.
In case some of you can not load the TWRP image from the first post in this thread in your devices after flashing it, i recommend you try this another image also by Captain_Throwback. It worked with no problem on a HTC Desire 530 from Claro Chile, and maybe it will work on other versions.
Captain_Throwback said:
Alright, rebuilt TWRP with dtb separated (though that really shouldn't make a difference). If this one doesn't boot, I'll try using the dtb from the 3.0.2 TWRP, and if that still doesn't work, I'll just revert to the kernel/dtb from the original 3.0.2 release. I was hoping to be able to use the source-built kernel to patch the touch driver and clean up/fix some things, but that may not be possible. Unless this works, in which case, yay!

Everytime I try to make a back up in TWRP the phone reboots as soon as the back up begins. Anyone else had this happen? I'm used to nexus phones and this one is complicated to me

First of all I would like to thank anyone and everyone who has made phone rooting guides, they definitely help out!
Now my question, does anyone have the stock RUU: RUU_A16_UL_M60_DESIRE_SENSE70GP_TMUS_MetroPCS_US_1.36.1550.5_Radio_01.01_U113251531_68.01.61229G_release_495720_signed_2.exe
I cannot find this file anywhere, even the download link on HTC's website is broken. Unfortunately TWRP wont work on my Desire 530 because I upgraded my ROM to 1.36.1550.14. So I need to downgrade from what I've heard in order to get TWRP working, then I can install an S-OFF kernel and install Super-SU. Make sense to anyone?
I unlocked my bootloader and flashed TWRP to my recovery. When I reboot my phone into recovery I see the TWRP screen, then the phone reboots. I've tried clearing my cache partition, and that hasn't helped. I managed to do this by following directions for clearing cache partition on T-Mobile website with stock recovery image BTW. I also tried flashing several different versions of TWRP, some experimental builds by Capt Throwback, and some builds for other phones. I just can't get any relief.
Thanks in advance!

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).

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

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

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.

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.
