This is exciting news, I can't wait and definitely am willing to test it for you.
Need Help
I have compiled LinageOS 14.1 for this device. However, it will NOT boot. I believe that all we need to do is fix the boot image file. I am having an extremely difficult time porting the boot image file. I was wondering if anyone here can maybe port it for me. I have tried replacing the LinageOS boot.img with the stock boot.img and I get nothing but an infinite boot loop. I have also tried a lot of other things to port the boot.img but I cannot remember everything I have tried. I will provide the links to my LinageOS compile and the boot image files in this post.
Download Link
Remember DO NOT try anything without a working backup of everything first.
Maybe I could take a crack at it today if I have some free time after painting and I hook up the trusty Dell precision. I'm more comfortable with systems that run already but I'm willing to do some research if there's even a chance I could help. Thanks again for what you've compiled so far!
Here to Help
What can I do to help ? I have a device, a backup, and money if worst comes to worst, I am determined to make this work.

Can you share your Meta-INF folder with me please ?
Make what work? I thought you had Slim AF working : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70794922&postcount=968

Lineage OS
I am very interested in the development, also if this person has working META-INF that will help me out too, so I can help someone release a rom and they can help me, as I said before this is all very new to me.
I'd love some help getting started on making any ROM, even if it's Slim AF to start with (since you already figured out how to do that), then I'd try something else. I have Ubuntu already installed, but need some basic help, like what repo to download and what files to modify. If you can help with that, I'd really appreciate it as we may have more ROMs to choose from .

Nice work. Will this be based off the latest security updates B150 (think stock came with B130 firmware) and root?
Love this as a starting point. Did you free up any of the internal storage that is dedicated to the system? As we know there is only 8GB free of the 16G. Does SLIM ROM change things in this regard? Just curious.
yes
I have managed to free up a little over 2gb of space, I am still looking for other bs that is taking up so much space, i'm thinking its another partition, so give me a while to figure out what i can safely remove to get us more space. I also work 2 jobs lol i dont have a ton of free time but this phone is my daily driver and i am very determined to get something to work for it!

Hate to be that guy but I'm just so excited to try a new ROM on this phone! Has anyone made any milestones on lineage or RR or anything else? I understand nothing's quite ready and that's why nobody's said anything but I'm itching for good news lol.

I will release Resurrection Remix soon, I just want to work out some critical bugs before I do. It's pretty stable as of now, I am posting from it. As of now, Wi-Fi, the camera, and the phone's internal loudspeaker don't work, I think Wi-Fi is going to require me to compile a custom kernel but that won't be too difficult. After I get those things to work, I will compile a flashable zip and release.

Thank you so much for your hard work on this ROM and device. I'm sure I can safely speak for all of us about how exciting this is. If at any point you need someone to test a particular version I'm very confident in making a backup of where I am now and diving in to submit feedback for kernel changes or anything else you need more than one phone to try on.

well i started working on ressurection remix as well dont know my eta if he gets his done cool if not then hope mine gets done
Sorry for not posting an update I've been swamped with work and laying tile I still have yet to install BBQ Linux if by the time I'm done laying tile we still don't have a room I will see to it that I make one
i dont guess any of these ROMs ever saw the light of day? lol been a long time since posts it appears, and there aren't many ROMs to find for the h1611 it seems. Nexus XT looks promising, but i cant download it because every link is a 7 hour download that fails a few hours in. satisfied enough i guess with stock rooted, but i want more, might have to keep this phone for a while until i can get a higher end one.
ive got some emui based roms like the nexus one is a emui based one im in the works of making a more vanilla like experience rom to try improve performance etc. and working on building a device tree for the xt its a work in progress for that. but the other rom wont be the swift n fast slim it will be called something else ill post it soon as its almost done
LineageOS for BLU Pure XL (MT6795)
Discussion and Q&A Thread
This is a Project Thread for LineageOS for BLU Pure XL. Project files and releases are hosted on SourceForge's servers.
Here you can ask for help and get fresh info about development status.
This project focuses on getting working LineageOS 14.1 for our phone. This would also work for other clones like Allview X2 Soul Xtreme, Condor Allure A100 and Gionee Elife E8.
LineageOS for BLU Pure XL - SourceForge
Here you will be able to review (Git integration) and download files. Also, there I will upload some screenshots. When the project reaches "Alpha" status I will create a development thread for the ROM itself in the Android Development section.
There you are also able to download the latest working TWRP 3.1.0-0 (the same is in this thread).

Hows the fight going? I'd REALLY like to see a custom ROM booting on this phone before it becomes so old it doesn't matter anymore...
Keep us informed on the progress Belmolx, we appreciate your hard work!
Hey I have a Blu Life One X2. I am a developer and have made some really good findings. I also built some tools (autoroot, toolkit, etc..).
We have an unofficial website here: http://www.blox2.com
I made my own rom, and so have a few others. We based it off the stock roms, as we cant get any other rom booting (except CM13; lots of bugs)
If possible, can you assist us? Like:
1. Did you port lineage or compile it? What guides did you follow (links please)?
2. Have you compiled the kernel? Our kernel will not boot no matter what (compiled with a ton of different toolchains too);
3. What device do you use for porting?
4. Do you have a /system RW crash (crash when mounting system as RW)?
Thanks!

hello @bemolx thanks thanks thanks sooooooo much for youur TWRP
I have the Allview X2 Soul Xtreme with LL 5.1 and i want to know if is possible to install thie lineage rom or a custom kernel.
I would like to optimize this phone can you help me?
What do you suggest me?
thaks so much
Looks promising, I'll wait ...
Thanks for the effort
@bemolx has forgotten about this device and has moved on to other devices and in the process has left all of us hanging he pays more attention on other devices just look at his profile @bemolx has made huge promises but has lied to us uploading half ass things which are buggy and literally **** he's forgotten about all of us who were looking towards him but he doesnt care I understand that he's not our slave and doesnt have to do anything but making false promises and playing with the feelings of other people is also not a good thing

I understand your disappointment.
However, it's not that simple as you may think. As a student I have to focus on school subjects and it really takes pretty much my whole free time. Also, this school year I have to defend my diploma thesis and this is my main task to focus on as for now.
You've mentioned my work on other devices too - yeah, I have couple of them to play with. But it doesn't mean I forgot about Pure XL. Other devices are just easier to deal with than this freaking Chinese clone. All of them have been maintained at the same time. Source code is always available on my GitHub profile, wanna try yourself?
If I have been paid (don't mind, just an example) $1000, I would have made a working custom ROM in a week! But I'm not and this is only my intention to do so. As for a freelancer dev it's not that important thing. I promised the custom ROM, you'll see it, in the future, not now.
Anyway, what the hell you've been expecting with MTK-based Chinese clone from the company that doesn't care about their customers and has made one, maybe two OTAs...?
You´re completely right. We thank you for your time and effort put to make this phone be more awesome. BLU is the big liar here. I don´t even use my phone as a Blu Pure XL, instead I use the X2Xtreme rom fully.
Take your time @bemolx and don´t mind what non-developers say in the forums, they´re always asking for ETAs and to make things better just for their daily use and dont know the effort put behind every custom thing made.
I really hope you succeed on your thesis (good) cheers man!

Yeah no I understand what @Superbat1680 is trying to say but at the same time I also understand what @bemolx is going this being a Final year student who also has to defend his thesis I can understand pretty much what he's going through
I'd just like to say that may you be successful in your defense and hopefully we can get a good custom rom in the near future
Good luck mate???

Well for now focus on finishing the university, we'll be rooting for you and maybe in the near future or so after you finish with all, when you have free time and the spirit to start working on a custom rom for this phone we'll see you post an update. I personally would love if you could make a version of android that is the latest like Oreo is now...until then I hope you're having a great day.
Info
Any update on the progress of this rom?????
Hi guys,
I'm working on implementing CLT for Pure XL to get a booting GSI Treble image. I'd say it will be a semi-Treble ROM rather that pure Treble or custom ROM. I hope I will post some update soon.
Who knows, maybe even Pie will boot, who knows..
Cheers
Can't wait to test this rom on my Allview X2 Soul Xtreme and of course give you feedback.
I don't know if it's because of the stock rom or not, but the phone just freezes from time to time(making me force restart the phone), especially when it get hot. Maybe... hopefully this rom will help with that.
Besides, being unable to update from 5.1.1 makes it that some apps are incompatible which sucks.
Thank you bemolx for all the time and effort put into this rom and we all wish you the best.

Ressurection Remix Project Treble is a ROM that you can try. Use the ARM Only A devices version.
It will boot. But phone camera Bluetooth etc will not work. The Android Store will buzz every 2 seconds asking you to register custom ROM and getting Android Service Framework ID is not straightforward.
Welcome to a 80 USD brick. I did it. Given, how enthusiastic you guys are, I believe you'd do it too. If you backup your image before screwing your phone, please share, I need to go back!!!

enjoy waiting months then. there is almost no interest in developing for this phone. GSI's will have to do. go bugtest those and submit logcats to the devs.
GSIs
Anyone get a GSI to work on this phone yet? I'm totally new to that development.
Nevermind, I just read above that the phone and camera wont work with what's out there now. I'd delete this entire message but I don't see that option.

Yes, literally any *arm A* (non 64 bit or AB partition) GSI will work. On the g6 only Bluetooth and audio playback have major issues.

First of all you have to wait for months on regular custom roms, and interest will pick up the more people get this phone, so as you can see GSIs won't have to do, learn to be patient or get another device that has development if you can't be patient like the rest of us.

There are 3 different kinda of Resurrection Remix out so gotta know which one works I had that same problem Bluetooth didn't work and on standby the fun while playing music was choppy but what I did was use my stock files then ported them to the custom RR Remix then rebooted and it worked fine then I found another RR Remix that worked with every thing except the keyboard mic wasn't working and camera worked too ..

I'm working out bugs on twrp and working on making some gsi more device specific
Now that we have an official bootloader unlock method and the device can be rooted and everything, it shouldn't take long for the devs to get some custom ROMs working for the Nokia 8. The userbase is nowhere small and I think this phone could really use some community support since it's quite unlikely to be getting Pie.
Here's hoping we get community support just like OnePlus devices. Cheers.

I think the fact that the bootloader unlock came so late is why we don't have development. Besides if you really want custom ROMs then why don't you make one? Would help us all

I really like my Nokia8 but I am waiting for LineageOS to come, unfortunately I don't have experience with ROMs. Is there any way I can contribute, or is there like an indication when we can expect it to come?

Expect it not to come then you'll be pleasantly surprised if it ever does.
I also think that because bootloader unlock came so late, ROM developers already moved on to other devices and there won't be many ROMs if any.
If we had Treble, at least GSIs could be used, but since we don't and trying to unofficially get it would require skilled developer, I wouldn't get my hopes for custom ROM.
Basically unlockable bootloader gives us only easy rooting and ability to some flash mods via TWRP at this point.

There's mention of the r11s in this thread for possible treble support when oppo releases Oreo international. ?

If a developer that has the skills owned your device, there would probably be ROMs for it. Since there aren't any ROMs for it, this means no developers with the skill own the device.
This means, if you want a ROM for that device, you'll have to find a developer that has the knowledge and is willing to do the work of building a ROM but you'll have to buy another one of that device and donate it to the developer. Developers have to have one of the devices on hand in order to test what they build so they don't risk bricking someone else's device during testing, you can't expect that developer to buy a copy of the device just so they can build you a ROM. Building a ROM is not easy and it's a lot of work, I don't think you realize exactly the gravity of what you're asking for.
This place isn't to help you make your phone cool, this place is more about learning and making information available than it is about making your phone cool.
