Can you Reinstall Stock Firmware on Amazon Exclusive R1 HD? - BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers

Just the question from the title. I just bought one. I can live with ads but not anyone's favorite. But before I start using it, can I simply reinstall it with stock firmware? If so is there some tutorial I can follow?

To return to fully stock , locked boot loader, stock system, recovery, out of box condition (V6.1)
You must be on old preloader so you can use sp flash tool to flash these partitons. You probably could put the images into a recovery zip also,
But that is not the way I did it so I dont have the info on it.
1. Verify you have access to flash tool.
if you do not have access will need to roll back with these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/r1hd-update-6-6-bootloader-roll-t3491096
2. once you have spft access, download my o.o.b. package. from same link as above, click on the "click to show content" button.
3. unpack into one folder. Load scatter file into flsh tool. (DO NOT USE FORMAT DOWNLOAD ONLY)
I dont know of any reason to go this drastic of a restore but here you go.

HELP! I can't boot my tab and I can't get into recovery!

Step by step what I did:
I rooted my tab via this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
I then installed bootstrap (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981307), and after going through the steps and restarting I can't get into recovery or anything. It just sits at the logo.
How do I just reset it to factory?
If I completly broke this I think I'm going to puke... Can somebody give me a little bit of hope or help?

1st question .. is your tab unlock ?
2nd if not , means you gonna reflash your stock rom again via odin
3th . maybe you can use P1_add_hidden.pit via odin and press start and maybe its work , but 80% its work if didn't work u have to go for step 2

Obihannm, I did the same yesterday.
You need the original stock firmware for your galaxy and Odin for flash it again.
Look for sam firmware in the google to grab your stock kernel, tools and guides for recovery.
With luck and patience, it is possible ressurrect your tab, but It will back unrooted and maybe you get a locked bootloader.
Just go here and follow attached guide guide.
Thanks guys, I will be up late trying this for sure. I noticed that this probably should live within the QA area not Genreal, so if a Mod or Admin wants to move it, please do.

That would end up with me having gingerbread correct? Should I try to first restore it to factory since right now I can't even enter recovery? Or is it a moot point and I may as well go forward get gingerbread on it?

You dont need to enter any recovery at all. Just "download" mode.
Go and read the guide.

OK, a few deep breaths and some "reading" (a new concept for me it seems) later I think I have a bit of a better understanding.
So reading through the overcome guide and a few other threads I think my issue is I must have had a protected bootloader, and that bootstrap program would have frigid that up (there probably was a warning if I slowed down). So that means my issue is my bootloader... Am I correct thus far?
If this is true, does this mean my current rom is actually fine, and fixing my bootloader is my #1 goal?
From there I can insteall the overcome rom, the normal gingerbread rom, or go back to stock? As I see it overcome/gingerbread is the best option.
Just install the stock rom, once back to normal if you have a locked bootloader patch it
All that you need in one handy page

I read through the guide you linked to as well as this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078622). You suggest I only need to access "download" mode, which I discovered how to do last night. Should Heimdall or other applications be able to see my device via download mode? Or is there a step I am missing.
As well I noticed in the guide you linked me it references patching the bootloader if it is locked, do I need to patch my bootloader or replace it completely as it seems to be broken?
I want to learn this stuff, this I read, and now I am asking. Again all help is appreciated.
Heimdall doesn't seem to do anything at all. I followed the guides as I best understood, and when it came time to hit the start button it instantly said completed with no actual results...
Any ideas?
a coworker was nice enough to help me out, using the stock rom with an unlocked bootloader he was able to bring it back for me. I'm now running froyo, rooted, and a unlocked boot loader so I should have no issues putting overcome on it.

if you flash your phone in the same way then it might work.
the root after flash uses a Chinese tool called vroot to root the phone. if you flash a rooted kdz then your phone is pre rooted is it not? it is not able to unlock your bootloader as we are still figuring out how to unlock the bootloader of the l5 II nor can it install CWM for the same reason.
would you like a multi purpose tool like that?
I can write a beta script that will gives you options to do these things, like the image attached. I will write it for you but you must test it out as I dont have A L5 e610.

why do you use a "chinese" software that probably you dont understand
a software that exploit some android bug can be very dangerous, it will not destroy your smartphone but it can steal personal data or open new exploit for malware
why you dont use this software http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ made by saurik, the creator of cydia, i hope you know about ios jailbreak:good:

Thanks, I managed to download the files by using a public server to access your web page.
Once I open the tool I push "Debloat", the download window shows up but it never gets to 100%, I assume It´s happening becase the additional files are hosted in your site as well. I´d appreciate if you could share a full pack including the additional files.
Do all the utilities in "Multi Tool" and "L5 II TweakBox" work with my LG L5II E450g?
I´m also trying to find the way to change the boot animation (it´s the opperator logo), is there any way to make it?
Thanks for your support.

Ok I will see what I can do. I will make a few tweaks as you cant root the latest firmware using impactor.
Yes and no you can change the bootanimation.
you can change the animation but not the logo in the beginning as that is embeded in the bootloader if Im not mistaken.
this may be worth looking at

[Q] Can't boot into TWRP and my phone got unrooted

Hello!
I have a Huawei Mate 9 (MHA-L29C432B190). Yesterday I tried to root my Phone to play Pokemon Go with fake gps. After I managed to root my phone, I couldn't boot into TWRP Recovery Mode anymore.
Because I still had some files I needed to flash I installed Flashfire from the PlayStore. I think after I flashed the newest Magisk version(The flash failed because of Error:1), my device got unrooted. But I think my device is still partly rooted because I can't get into Pokemon Go. Everytime I try to start it I get stuck the loading screen. So right now I can't flash anything to get my root back and I don't have the root to use alternative flash applications. I also tried to start return my phone to stock back with a update.app But it can't be installed. I also can't use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" I always get " Writing 'recovery'...FAILED (remote:command can't be used/allowed)". And also after some reboots my oem unlock got turned off and I can't turn it on anymore.
I don't have any ideas anymore what to do. I thought I could root my device, so I could unroot properly with superuser. I tried some other application like KingRoot oder OneClickRoot but both of them don't have a rooting method for the Huawei Mate 9 yet. Btw I don't have a backup because of my naivety.
I hope you guys can help me . I appreciate any ideas
Thanks in advance

That doesn't tell me anything. That just tells me that you tried flashing.
It doesn't tell me anything about exactly what you tried to flash or what errors you got when you flashed. I need more precise information to help you. Your simple answers aren't helping me understand anything about what you have going on with your device.

First I tried to do a force upgrade with a "dload" folder with a update.app file on my sdcard . After booting into this upgrade mode by pressing vol up + vol down + power button my device starts to install the stock firmware, but after it reaches 5% I get the message "Error with installing" and a Link to the same site when you boot into twrp. This always happens no matter which file I use. Next I tried to do a normal upgrade by calling this number "*#*#2846579#*#*" (The dload folder is still on my sdcard). But when I start the software upgrade I get booted into twrp and like I said in my post, always when I try to get into twrp I get stuck on the "Your device is booting screen". This is what I tried and basicly every site on google is saying I should try to do one of these two methods

going back to stock

So, i have a P10 vtr-l29c432, bootloader unlocked, with twrp installed and from future rom installed, and now i want to go back to stock rom with Huawei recovery, to use the official updates via ota without problems. I'm not a noob but this is my first Huawei device and things are way more complicated compared with oneplus or nexus devices. My question is how to do it, because what i've so far is confusing me, if someone could explain me or give me some instructions i will appreciate it, thanks!
Hi!
same situation here. I would very much like to go back to stock but I'm not sure how... I saw a tutorial but I am not certain that that is what I need. Any confirmation would be very appreciated!!!
Tx & best
Exact same problem here on the p10 vtr-l09, seems to be a few different methods out there, either don't work or too confusing
You can try to update your phone with my guide.
This will reformat the system and your phone is on stock after a factory reset (reset is important when you come from another rom).
After factory reset you should be able to lock the bootloader.
Important is that you have in mind which Android version is installed and which phone model you have.
No warranty for this, I didn't try it or know someone with the same situation. But after learning something about how emui works it shouldn't be a problem.
did anyone tried this? I'm using custom rom from openkirin project and I would like to get back to stock. I have the stock recovery
On openkirin's website is a tutorial.
You need to extract system.img, ramdisk.img and kernel.img from update.app and flash them with Fastboot. After this boot into eRecovery and make a factory reset.

Yeah I tried to follow the instructions which they put in three separate articles, however the last one is landing on the main page and I don't see the flasing instructions. Here is the link:

Doesn't work in all countries but worth a try:
Go to eRecovery (not recovery) and use wifi to go back to stock.

Then do it like I wrote, the Fastboot commands should be clear if you already installed the Rom.
WiFi downloads don't work if you're rooted, you need to flash stock ramdisk manually before you can download via eRecovery.

Maybe he didn't install magisk when he was on one of the OpenKirin roms, so ramdisk is still stock. I used this eRecovery WiFi method when I was on fRomFuture, no magisk installed.

Use huru updater as it is safest back to stock option for latest Huawei devices. Lookup tool right here in xda.

Jannomag here, it's possible to "update" to the same version. My script just tells the recovery to install the given update files. The recovery will overwrite the system without removing user data.
This should work without any issues but it can happen, that bugs are still present after this. If you want to fix firmware issues a complete factory reset is much more effective.

A question from a newbie

First of all i want to make clear that, i am new to this community, so for any inconvenience please forgive me.
I was curious about what will be the safest way to root my Android 11 devices running on MIUI Global 12.5.2 .
i watched a lot of YouTube videos but didn't come up with an answer i am looking for, i got confused a lot some people suggest doing without pc and some with some apps.
I would be glad if someone can explain to me, the best way to root Android device and do's and dont's before and after rooting the device. And how can i prevent my device from:
Getting hard/soft Brick.
Losing Data.
Data encryption.
And the things i should get familiar with before rooting.
Thanks to everyone in advance

You can not root without losing data, unlocking Xiaomi bootloader wipe all your data. For rooting, take a look Magisk instruction https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html very easy

In this page it tells, if you plan to install custom kernels install it after magisk, is it necessary to install custom kernel.
What if i don't install any kernel, will the default kernel be still there?

Tap older version and download the recovery. Use https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go to extract boot.img from payload.bin. Look how here https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-magisk/

Let me get it straight, you mean the ROM version doesn't matter, however the ROM should be same as that of the device model.
