BLU R1 HD - 16 GB - Black - Prime Exclusive - with Lockscreen Offers & Ads

This is a Prime stock 6.5 rom, this rom comes from my phone, not rooted unmodified stock rom.
The purpose of this thread is to be able to flash stock or custom roms for Prime R1HD via Twrp.

You need to either have twrp installed or be able to boot into twrp to install this rom.

I currently just boot into twrp, I still have stock recovery installed, my bootloader is unlocked.

I have downloaded @ColtonDRG normal-stock-oob which is V12 non prime version, I checked the permissions on the system to see if 6.5 and V12 used different permission they use the same.

So a V12 rom can be made from my exact stock_rom_R1HD_6.5.zip, I may or may not provide a non prime version, even if I don't all a user has to do it open my stock_rom_R1HD_6.5.zip replace system and boot.img with non prime zip and flash.

There are two twrp recoveries one I just made and one made by @lopestom I had to get the rom compliant with both recoveries, @lopestom was the first recovery available for R1HD and allows backing up and restoring of many partitions, I am going to use his recovery.fstab, but remove the partitions backup and restore I don't use.

both recoveries at one time or other would throw an error
Code:
ApplyParsedPerms: lsetfilecon of /system/lost+found to u:object_r:system_file:s0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint
script aborted: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
I have now fixed that so neither recovery error, any other recovery that might show up, that person will have to fix his own, for now two recoveries can flash my rom, the one I made and @lopestom

To install download rom and recovery if you don't already have twrp.

so, since the rest of partitions have been hidden from new recovery. are they generaly safe from change. or should a backup still be kept for them?

There are two twrp recoveries, use the one that you want, if you want to back up and restore more partitions use first recovery.

Blu has put out official splash tool ROM for Prime version today, will restore entire phone to stock.

Will be sometime before we get it, nothing on non prime.

I just mounted it via Linux it's ext4, I don't use windows, only Linux.
I found an ext4 extract program for Windows. Placed the /system directory into the ROM folder along with the boot.img but it failed to install. I'll investigate further tomorrow unless if you manage to put up an flashable ROM with the stock/OEM non-ad stuff.

My computer has been running hard today, between son doing his school work, me making roms, recovery, and just now got cm13 to finish compiling, it's for a similar device, it's an mtk phone, the point is to get the source set up to build.

Code:
make: Leaving directory '/home/vampirefo/Desktop/cm13'

#### make completed successfully (05:17:01 (hh:mm:ss)) ####
