Help installing custom rom - Blu Vivo XL

Hey guys,
I am trying to intall a custom rom on my blu vivo xl. My worries are that i either soft-brick the phone or boot the new rom and having no signal due to no imei, or no 4G due to band change if it's even possible. I'll leave you with some reliable data:
-arch64 procesor
-5.1 stock android : BLU_V0030UU_V07_GENERIC 25-01-2016
- 3.10.65+ kernel
- Rooted with kingoroot
- Previously had xposed, but uninstalled due to random reboots.
I was looking to install aospextended rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-xl/development/rom-aospextended-rom-v4-1-t3592932
I'd really appreciate if you could orient me or refer me to a post with instructions, since i didn't find one. It's been some years since i don't do this back to the legendary HTC HD2 and i'm missing it btw
Thanks!
Nacho

Unfortunately most custom ROMs in this forum were based off Gionee so likely you will get no SIM. Use your stock ROM /etc/firmware folder to replace that in ROM.

Thank you for your response.
I've already got twrp installed for 5.1
So i should just install this MM based ROM i said on the post and replace /etc/firmware folder?
Or i need to install stock MM from ota first?
Thing is, i cant OTA update, it says that the system is corrupted, i even tried from twrp but no luck

I've seen that i need stock mm to be able to install most of the custom rom's in xda
Thing is i can't install any OTA update. Should i flash 5.1 stock rom on top of the modified one i'm running?
By modified i am talking about the root and xposed, which is the cause i cant OTA

Follow my steps exactly then you can do OTA to MM.
The key is to use the 8 files backup to restore stock 5.1, not the backup only includes 4 files.

Alright, ill do that. Tried with the 4 files backup last night, didn't work as you just told.
Do you have a link to the 5.1 stock recovery i should flash with sp flash tool? I can't find it anywhere. It wont work if i still have twrp installed, right?
Thanks! i really appreciate it, and great guide btw

I installed the 11 files backup and i still can't get ota. I should install the stock recovery, right? got a link for that?
Thank you in advance!

In my case I have a fully working STOCK but ROOTED Marshmallow Blu Vivo XL with working IMEI, but as soon as I wipe and install say AEX rom, I lose both IMEI functions and also get the dreaded wifi NVRAM error (but working wifi).
I also restored the etc/firmware directory to AEX but it wont help regain IMEI functionality.
MTK Engineering mode does not work on AEX because it complains not being stock rom so it closes.
For the life of me, I can't make a connection to the PC through SP Flash Tool too.
Any pointers?
TIA!

Thanks for the reply Min1968!
Yes, I know how to recover IMEI on the stock ROM and I'm currently running stock MM rooted with working IMEI.
The problem I have is that I can't run custom ROMs even if I try the etc/firmware trick you mentioned.
What is the stock TWRP partition that has the modem and IMEI? Maybe if I flash it back through TWRP once I get AEX rom up and running?
Thanks!

Okay, i fixed it reformatting the data partition on twrp. Thing is, when i want to install the recovery that happens. Maybe if i dont oem unlock?

well, i did that and it booted with the stock recovery. But i still can't OTA, i really dont know why, i even could not when i bought the phone

ThinkPad Tablet Stock ROMs Dumps

Hi everyone!
Because TPT owners have no chance officially download stock ROMs images, it would be great, when we would share dumps of the clean stock ROMs (they are different for different regions - US, UK, WE, JP, ROW...).
The reason, why I started this thread, is an OTA 2 (OTA 2.5 maybe?) update. I deleted some useless apps and now I can't make an update. If someone would upload a dump of A310_02_0037_0074_ROW... Even a backup of system apps folder would help...
Thanks for your help.
Dumps list:
- no-bloat rooted 0075/OTA1 and 0089/OTA2.5 US nandroid backup
- rooted 0089/OTA 2.5 ROW stock image nandroid backup
- no-bloat rooted 0075/OTA1 US nandroid backup
- factory stock OTA3 UK nandroid backup
As I already said in several threads, no need to use dump or anything else to update, just modify the update script to be able to install it !

I know and I should mention it...
But I wanna update in a clean way. There are also other reasons for sharing the dumps - eg. because of warranty, accidentaly deletions etc.
I could really do with a full UK 16Gig dump as I updated to a UK testing version from Lenovo themselves but now cannot update to the latest non testing! I'm stuck and if I could put on an original dump then I could update till I go to the latest

For me the problem comes in with not understanding how to change it and not having experience with Android, ADB, etc. Hard to feel confident.
I would also appreciate this although I cannot help as I patched one of the system APKs already (without having made a backup).
US no-bloat nandroid backups for 0075_US and 0089_US posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566508
Hi, I have unfortunately deleted my system during installation of CM9. Could anyone upload ROW version of Android please?
Rooted CWM 0089 ROW Stock Dump
I buggered my TPT /system partition and couldn't find another ROW stock image anywhere and was only saved by a co-worker getting a new TPT a day ago.
Was hoping to post the link here but XDA won't let me without a minimum of 10 posts to prove my worthiness.
Figure out this link to get the file.
h t t p s : // dl.dropbox.com /u/36240569/ThinkPadTablet_0089_ROW_Root_CWM.zip
if the above link doesn't work as its throttled, try this:
h t t p s : // skydrive.live.com /redir?resid=F10E1C7208FDA4B6!1585&authkey=!AJBILE2r711VQSc
After restoring this using CWM, remove CWM using one of the methods on XDA and then remove root and you have a out-of-the-box tablet.
Thank you very much for the rom. :good:
Anyone got the latest US or any ics rom dump?
I lost root when I installed ICS (perhaps I forgot to temporarily unroot before the upgrade), so I want to go back to Android 3. Can I flash one of these nandroid backups in the stock recovery? I can't, can I?

This is a US OTA3/ICS nandroid dump from a 32gb TPT
If root is not retained, just use the latest ICS Root exploit for the TPT. Should work fine in 16, 32 and 64gb US versions.

[Q]Questions for XT1064 variant

Been flashing my devices forever but they have all been samsungs and my phones for the past 4 years so im looking for help
I got a XT1064 for my wife who is still using a Nokia Pureview 808
Its a great little device and I wanted to root and install a customer recovery for it for backup reasons
Ive been over all the forums many times but its never clear 100% that the stuff works for the XT1064
I can root and unlock the bootloader with no issues my main questions are
Is it confirmed that TWRP 2.8.0.1 will work for this variant? If not what recovery would you recommend (links if possible would be great)
I know there are not really many ROM currently but did see some that are pretty much stock but optimized(more ram etc) are any confirmed to work ok on the XT1064?
This is my wifes phone so I cant have her without a working device too long and I am less willing to test since its not my device
Any help would be appreciated

TWRP 2.8.0.1 does run on the XT1064, however it seems to be buggy. In my experience that recovery will randomly cause the phone to reboot for no reason. I personally prefer CWM, but TWRP 2.7xx has been reported as working well
P.S, don't ever flash your XT1064 back to stock with the mfastboot commands, I did it with the appropriate image for the US GSM model, and now my wifi is dead, and I cant find a workaround
Wish I had an XT1064 nandroid backup!

Well after a while I settled on Phil recovery and so far so good
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...covery-cwm-philz-touch-6-moto-g-2014-t2896586
As for roms dont seem to find any and im not willing to try
As for the back to stock which image did u use?
Would the correct one not be Android 4.4.4 Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US since this isnt the global version?
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=36
Cant you simply use the right file and do it again?

Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US was the one I flashed, so it should have worked, but unfortunately... :crying:
A user in another thread suggested that I flash the latest OTA update, but the problem is, the latest OTA update uploaded here isn't for the 1064, so the stock recovery refused to flash it, and with no wifi or mobile data, I can't download the OTA from the phone

Note 4 SM-N910T that keeps getting stuck in a boot loop

So i purchased a Note 4 SM-N910T about a year ago. It worked fine but last month shortly after the 5.1.1 update I did it started randomly restarting for no reason. First i taught it was Snapchat because I red somewhere that there are camera problems, so I stopped using it. But it kept restarting even after that. From then I have made a factory and a master reset, rooted the phone and even installed CM 12. No mater what i do it keeps on restarting. The only way to get it out of the boot loop is to connect it to a charger that is not a fast charger. Then it starts charging and works normally and you can do everything normally. After you remove it from the charger it works as long as you do not use it. When you start using it and want to do something with it it starts restarting again. I hope somebody can help me fix this issue. I have noticed that connecting it to WIFI makes it 100% sure that it will restart any moment. If you leave it without WIFI as long as you do not do anything big it will not restart. For example I watched series on my phone I downloaded beforehand. I was able to go to the CM 12 file manager and change series for the duration of my bus drive and it has not reset yet and it has not been connected to a charger for around 12 hours already.
My last resort is to wait 3 hours for the stupid free 5.0.1 official firmware and flash it using the TWRP Recovery or Odin. If that does not work I would have t give it to a service. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Also a link to where I can download the 5.0.1 official firmware for free in normal speed will be of greatly appreciated as well!
Merry Christmas!
That's odd, I recommend odin flashing the stock ROM and everything. (Modem + bootloader) the latest one is DOK2 for T-Mobile

To revive the thread I tried flashing the N910TUVU2DOK2_N910TTMB2DOK2_N910TUVU2DOK2_HOME.tar via Odin. It all went fine and after starting the phone it went on to the step where its optimizing apps. It got stuck there and it went back to the boot loop. I had reflash the CM 12 and TWRP Recovery and now I am back at 0. So my question is how should I flash the stock rom. Go to TWRP do a factory reset than turn the phone off and flash the stock rom via Odin? Should I also flash TWRP ans SuperSu after flashing the stock rom?
Thank you for your help!
I've been having the same problem for about a week and a half; it's super annoying. I was running Dynamic Pop on COG2 then yesterday I updated to DOK2 and flashed Maximum Overdrive... no improvement. It rarely even fully boots before freezing or rebooting.
My best guess as to what the problem is that it may be overheating because it tends to actually boot if I put it in the freezer while booting, but then it freezes soon after taking it out. I suppose it could also be internal memory corruption.
Either way, I'm getting ready to do a warranty exchange.

First focus on getting a clean stock firmware booted. Do what you mentioned above but don't flash TWRP or superSu until the stock ROM is stable. We need to narrow down the issues so do as few modifications as possible.

I actually downloaded 2 stock roms for my Note 4. One was the COG2 and the other one was the completely stock firmware. I tried flashing them but Odin failed (Auth) whatever that means. The only stock rom I was able to flash was 5.1.1 but it wouldn't boot up so I had to install CM 12 again! I have no idea how to fix the phone. All I want is to return to 5.0.1 and delete any changes. The phone has no apps on it so i have nothing to loose but I do not know how to do it..

The only stock rom I was able to flash was 5.1.1 but it wouldn't boot up so I had to install CM 12 again! I have no idea how to fix the phone. All I want is to return to 5.0.1 and delete any changes. The phone has no apps on it so i have nothing to loose but I do not know how to do it..

You cannot use 5.0.1 ROMs on DOK2 they will never boot and no down grading. You have to use 5.1.1 ROMs for now on.

This is exactly what is happening to my T-Mobile Note 4 (SM-N910T) and the thing that you did to your Canadian Note 4 is exactly what I want to do. But can I use the firmware you provided at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/ref-stock-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2920452
or must I use the T-Mobile ones and if I have to use the N910T firmware where can I get it so I can do what you did? A link or a thread would be amazing cause I really miss using my phone as normal!

Doesnt work. Wont flash the stock rom. It says Fail(Auth)

Stuck in recovery mode

Hey guys I just got an 84 MB update from T-MOBILE, but for some reason when my phone was updating there was an error, and my phone now only boots into recovery mode(the "No Command" screen). Does anyone know where I can find any of the update files so I could try to update through ADB? If not, then my only is to unlock the bootloader and install a Custom ROM, but I wanted to know if I could still use my mobile service (T-MOBILE) if after installing a Custom ROM? Any advice is appreciated!
What phone model?
If it's an L90, you should and you're still able to either download mode, you can flash stock kdz ROM, root, unload bootloader, flash custom recovery then any custom ROM you want.
just wipe all partitions and put a stock lollipop rom but a flashable zip file is needed and put it on a sd card and flash it and there you go you have a working phone in just a minutes

I also do not care about the data on it, I merely want it working. After all, I've already factory reset it in hopes of fixing it, no luck

Solution to sim not detected after flashing custom rom

first of all big thumps up for IacobIonut-DW for pointing me in the right direction on th AOSPextended thread
1. To have sim card working on BLU VIVO XL follow this thread to restore imei https://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-xl/development/permanent-blu-vivo-xl-imei-fix-mm-t3604293
2. Unzip the custom rom and replace firmware folder in system/etc/ with the stock firmware folder which i have uploaded below. Zip back and flash with twrp 2.8..(please note, a simple single factory reset is required.. dont wipe any cache again after flashing).. thats all sim should work
firmware folder https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B69xFtICNaDzaXU1dlVTd3pobUU
this method has been tested on aospexpended,lineage,viperOs and cosmic Os........... Works perfectly in all cases...
For the life of me, with all the experience flashing (and even making my own custom ROMs for my Samsung devices) I simply can't make this work. Everytime I lose IMEI functionality after flashing AOX, xOS or any other custom rom.

Good because that's the device I'm currently trying to install it to!
Any pointers would be appreciated! :good:

If I do the firmware folder replacement, I get a "zip file is corrupt" message at the moment of flashing
Nevermind I have it working now!!!... With your feedback I was able to come up with a different path to get the firmware directory in place without corrupting the ROM.
Kudos to both of you!!!

Hi, I guess it should be done with a system of identical versions, right? that is to say, if I make a backup of the folder in android 5.1 it would not help me recover the IMEI of a ROM v6 or v7. right? I thank you in advance. :good:
Need help :'(
