BLU Life One X2

[debianmain1]

Known bugs:
-GPS apps lose connection while in navigation mode and sometimes freezes up the whole device.
-home button does not wake device (but you can set the fingerprint up to wake device)
-auto rotate is iffy, can (and will) get stuck in landscape mode.
-wifi doesn't auto connect when toggled on
-device shows up as "unknown" in apps that tell you what device you have.
-bluetooth shows Yu4050 (the phone the rom was ported from)
-photos get rotated before being sent in messaging apps
-when the flashlight it enabled, both (front and back) LEDs get turned on
-some what significant battery drain compared to stock/Drax roms.

As of now those are the only bugs I have found from a week of it being my daily rom.

Looks OK.....how are you getting logs?

Random app crashes on butter 1.4. Messenger and a few Google apps. It doesn't bother me at all. Just putting it out there.

Clear cache and dalvik, then fix contexts in TWRP.

Hey has anyone else noticed issues with charging? I'm using the stock fast-charger that came in the box and a WSKEN magnetic USB-MicroUSB cord(https://www.amazon.com/Wsken-Magnetic-Display-Charge-Android/dp/B01MCZB2KR). Lately I've noticed it doesn't always display the 'fast charger connected' notification and I have to unplug and plug the magnet back in several times before it'll work. Through the use of Ampere(app), I've noticed when plugged in and not running anything and in airplane mode, the battery is still draining at anywhere from -150mah to -2000mah. Also the actual battery level supports this reading as while plugged in and not even awake, the battery is actually draining, rather quickly too. It scares me to think I could suddenly not be able to charge my phone... Any thoughts?

There does seem to be problem with the fast charger. I think it has to do with the temperature. Since the charging slows down when the battery is hot. Including turning off charging all together. It is a software issue since retrying or turning on the display will usually get it charging again. Using 3rd party chargers will show this problem a lot more often than the stock charger.

Max discharge with CPU and Display at 100% should discharge around 800mah max.. The 2000 might be the instant when it gets turned on. Normal with screen off is under 100ma and around 200ma when active.

Boot Loop Help Please

Hello All,

After months without any issues, my rooted Mini went into a Boot Loop. I turned it off for 10+ minutes, but no go. I tried getting to Recovery Mode by holding the Power and Volume Up buttons until it lights up, then releasing the Power button, but no go either. I've Searched on the forum but didn't really find anything that could assist me, and I'm googling like mad because I really need the phone for work.
Not sure what I can do, can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks in advance!

Go into download mode by holding vol down and power for 8 seconds and use QFIL to factory reset

Is anyone having issues with their power button at all? I'm noticing periodically the power button will not turn the screen on/off, but interestingly when I hold it I still either feel a vibration when screen is off or see the power menu when screen is on. I am still able to reboot using the power button as well so it's clearly working, but won't wake or sleep the device. Any thoughts/suggestions?

I tried doing that and I get the startup splash screen then after 8 seconds I let go and it goes back to black. What am I doing wrong?

That's right. Its supposed to be black screen when you plug it into your computer. Then follow the instructions for QFIL on the blox2.com website

So basically I am reflashing the stock Mini Rom and will be unrooted when/if it restarts, is that correct?

Your phone will be like it was when you fist took it out of the box. Keep in mind you will lose all of you internal sdcard. So make backups accordingly.

On the X2 or the X2 mini? I've noticed that every now and again on my mini

 

[Vinotas]

OK I got things back up and running, however I can't seem to root it anymore for some reason. I followed all the instructions and used both the new version of AutoRoot and my older version (v 1.0) on my laptop. I have USB Debugging and OEM Unlocked, so not sure what else I should be doing. Any ideas?

have you closed the cover properly?

Like the back cover? Yes. I don't own one of those silly window covers!

On the X2 or the X2 mini? I've noticed that every now and again on my mini

On the regular X2. However, is the button not the same thing manufacturing-wise in this case?

Just an update, I used several apps that intercept keyevents and they don't detect the power button being pressed. However holding the power button still works 100% of the time. Does anyone know enough about the mechanics of the hardware buttons to know if a press and a hold are somehow mechanically different from one another? I.e. the press is broken/loose but the hold is not...?

 

[AlienTeck]

Press and hold circuitary is different and wired to the cpu reset line while the other is wired to the battery on off circuit. The cpu reset can not be bypassed. The other can be programmed like a camera shutter or screen off.

OK so I still can't seem to root my Mini, using either the old version of AutoRoot or the newer version on the Blox2.com website. Anyone have any ideas? I've checked and re-checked and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Okay, so let's break it down.

Can you walk us through the process you are using


What and where exactly is it failing? (Booting twrp? Flashing magisk? Etc)

Are you using magisk or SuperSU?

I'm assuming magisk since you said you've tried the auto tool

You may have to attempt to root manually,

Unlock bootloader
Use fastboot to boot twrp
Flash latest magisk
Flash twrp (if you wish)
Profit

The blox2 site should have everything you need to know about this if you get stuck. I'll also be checking back to make sure everything went smoothly.

Also, if you are getting error 1 while flashing magisk there are some additional steps you may need to take to get it working:
1. Flash the stock boot.img
2. Remove everything (folders/files) magisk related in /data partition using adb shell (need root for this OR boot twrp using "fastboot boot twrp.img"

Hope this helps

Profit ?

Shouldn't he turn on USB debugging as well?

So this is what I've done:
reflashed the stock Mini Rom taken from Blox2.com, everything works
downloaded & unzipped B2Autoroot (v1.3) to the laptop, laptop recognizes phone
went into Developer Options, checked OEM Unlock and USB Debugging
connected phone to laptop (phone still on)
started up x64_B2A
phone rebooted several times, window log showed everything running fine, I see TWRP on the screen a few times
I left the phone alone for about 10 minutes after the last reboot
after 10 minutes, I checked apps:
-Magisk Manager is installed but when I tap on it, it says to Install from Play Store, when I go to Play Store it says it can't be found
-SuperSU is installed but when I tap on it, it says SU Binary occupied with a link to How To Solve
-Rootchecker indicates I am NOT rooted

I tried using the older version of Autoroot that worked back in April, but no go either. So should I delete Magisk Manager and SuperSU and re-try? Or am I missing a step? FYI USB is set to exchange files. I also tried using the x32_B2A and that didn't do it either.
