Currently there are absolutely no threads on the internet with information related to this device. I am not responsible for any damage done to your device, you assume sole responsibility for whatever you do to your devices. If you have questions, please reply to this or PM me, I'll be glad to help any of you! Those of you who might need a stock ROM, I've already dumped my stock ROM using a nifty tool called "romdump"
Things you should know before you do anything listed in this post:
- Bootloader unlocking WILL ERASE USER DATA!!!!
- Successful root attempts disable OTA updates. (Unroot + Factory Reset MIGHT fix this)
- Must have OEM unlocking & USB debugging enabled in the developer menu.
- Common sense, don't flash anything you find on the internet randomly, you will cause irreparable damage, I learned that the hard way.
================
To Gain Root:
- Have USB debugging, OEM unlocking & unknown sources enabled.
- Download & install the latest version of KingRoot.
- Swipe up three times, click "try it"
NOTICE: If your device restarts through the process, don't worry, your device isn't broken, but there's a good chance the root attempt failed.
================
Unlock your bootloader (THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA!):
- Power off the BLU LIFE XL
- Hold down POWER + VOL UP until the phone turns on.
- Release POWER button, wait for the android to appear on your screen, it might say "No Command", in that case, just press the - POWER button once to pull up the recovery menu.
- Use VOL DOWN to navigate down to "Reboot to bootloader" & Press VOL UP
- Plug your phone into your computer
- Navigate to your android SDK folder, and find fastboot. (If you don't have the android SDK downloaded, refer below)
- Type fastboot devices and see if your android device is recognized.
- Type "fastboot oem unlock"
- A menu should appear on your phone screen telling you about unlocking your phone, press VOL UP to unlock your bootloader, or VOL DOWN to cancel.
Alternatively: If you wish to re-lock your bootloader, follow these steps above, however type "fastboot oem lock" instead of "fastboot oem unlock"
================
FACTORY MODE & DEVICE TESTING MENUS:
- Power off BLU LIFE XL
- Press POWER & hold VOL DOWN until the phone turns on.
