Many people are joining xda on daily basis. Some of them join the forum to get custom ROMs while some join in order to get some of their problem that they are facing with their phones solved.
There are dedicated threads for ROMs but what about HELP/QUESTIONS??
People generally straight away start a new thread to get their doubts solved. But this can lead to chaos in the forum.
I'm creating this thread as an alternative to *New Threads* that aim to resolve a question.
Not only this, this thread can also become a Database kind of place where people can look if their question is already solved or not...
I request all members of the BLUE STUDIO 5 sub-forum to help and answer some questions posted here if they can.
I hope you guys get the idea behind this thread...

Don't bother. I used this tutorial
http://www.china-devices.com/Thread-ROOT-CWM-Readback-your-ROM-with-SP-Flash-Tools
At first MTK droid tools was detecting the phone but was unable to root. The solution was to run unsecured adb on the phone then plug it in to MTK and follow the rest of the video.
5.0 HD LTE does not detect 32gb sd card
I have a BLU 5.0 HD LTE that does not seem to be recognizing the 32gb micro SD card I put in it. I have tried mounting it through storage in settings but that did not do a thing. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.
blu studio 5.0 Late.

OTA update brick my phone
So, I have a BLU studio 5.0 C HD, and after attempting to update I got a no command message, clicking anything goes back to recovery mode. I factory reset my phone and cache, but still have the same message when I reboot the system. Any ideas on how to fix it? I'm trying to flash a stock rom, but the only method I found so far was to use sp flash tool. But that requires USB debugging enabled, which I don't have, and can't enable it atm. I read somewhere I shouldn't be Flashing through recovery mode, so IDK what to do. Would appreciate help, ty.
3G/4G missing in Europe
Good day,
I got my BLU Studio C and it doesn't support 3G/4G what my carrier is offereing in European Union.
As per Carrrier - need to wait for some kind of software update, maybe then phone will work on 3G/4G.
Is there some kind of non-official updates to solve this issue?
Now I can use only 2G. But as per phone specification is it ok for 2-4G.
Country - LV.
Thanks in advance.
Hi people.

Blu Studio 5.0 HD LTE
Hello everyone! And thank you @abhishekr700 for making this thread.
I recently bought a Blu Studio 5.0 HD LTE. Apparently there's little or no information at all about this phone. I want to upgrade it to Android 5.0 or 5.1 but I can't install the custom recovery since there ar no links at all. I tried to follow the steps on a tutorial (I can't post any links yet), but I can't find my smartphone model and the post continuosly warns you that there are problems with Qualcom chips and it is not that safe so I'm a little scared but I want the Android Lollipop really bad, i love that OS.
Would someone please help me to continue with this process? I already rooted my phone using Kingroot which I got on the play store. I'd appreciate it a lot!
Brother, you will have to wait for some members to write a formal tutorial for the process.Search the development section, the only possibility of what you want lies there.
Plz press thanks on this post for further help.

I've use Kingo, Auto, towl, frame and some Chinese app but still nothing.. i want recovery + ROOT. I've use all XDA Forum says in how to root any android device but still nothing.
Hello All,
I'm digging around threads and cannot find a sure fire root method for my Sprint Galaxy Tab 4 7" (T237). If someone could point me towards a definitive good method of rooting my device I'd appreciate it. I've rooted almost all of my phones with Odin and never had an issue but can't seem to find anything. I sort of need a sure fire way to root because I did not add insurance on my device and I used to work for Sprint so getting a phone replaced wasn't an issue. I just want to cover all my bases that the data/LTE will remain working after root. Thanks in advance!!

yes, you will run into many problems. 1st problem is desoldering it. 2nd problem if desoldering wasn't a dead end, finding a preprogrammed emmc chip that will work for it is pretty much impossible. but don't worry there is a new exploit for all MediaTek processors that will let you flash partitions in boot rom mode! it's only a matter of time for this device to get hacked.

Thanks for the reply if i did have the ability to desolder/resoldrer and program the emmc chip do you know what i should program it with? a compatible image? Or is it this that isn't available?
The exploit sounds even more promising do you know where i can find out more?

I pach a system.img with root now I'm just waiting for a script to flash it!( The scripts use python and I'm kinda new to programming python) I requested on a different thread for the script...
So I wouldn't go with the desolder the emmc route because then you have to warty about soldier balls, bridges, killing you emmc chip with heat, etc.

if you short one of the pads under the sheld to ground you will be able to boot to boot rom mode. that's when you will run the script to that will decrypt the keys so you can flash anything from there.
Bit late but its kinda impossible to change emmc chips.
If you get past soldering you could replace emmc chips with one from an old broken fire
and maybe it will work then
But who knows
we already have full root and bootloader unlock for most of the fire devices now
check the relevant sub for your model
LOS (soon)

Yes, technically it will but this method is harder to do.
here is a more in-depth guide on this. But I would not use this method, it's complex.
About the bootloader unlock:
The explicit to unlock the bootloader hasn't been ported to your device (if it has, I can't find it on XDA). It's because this model isn't that common. I will help Root you device using this method but I'm not skilled enough to Port the bootloader unlock.

@ANDROID2468:
Thank you very much for your help!
If I can achieve root access, I believe I'll be 97% happy. I have just managed to have another launcher working on my device with Launcher Hijack (just discovered that Amazon implemented a childish blocking by the app name), and the thing is flying! I'm much happier! The device is perfectly usable now!
If I just can uninstall some Amazon crap and have my stuff going, I'll be happy, even if it's still running FireOS underneath.
I'll read the topic you mentioned carefully. If I still need help, I'll politelly ask you for guidance.
Thanks again!

ok, first I need to know what version of fire os you are running.
Then, I need a picture of your board. you need to open your tablet and you need to take off the shield. here is an example (you have the 5th gen so the shield should just pop off):

sorry, I didn't read your message carefully. the post that I posted previously was about porting a root method used by the fire 7 (7th gen) which was used before the bootloader unlock was released(well the 5th gen was released at the time but not 7th gen ). that method is a lot easier to do and less likely to kill your device.
Do you have a link for the root method please?

Hi,
I currently only have linux machines available and would like to unlock the bootloader on my mi 9T. I actually only want to root the device and have basic things like adblocking on the stock rom. Whats the simplest way to achieve this?
Is it possible to unlock the device without the mi tool that is made only for windows?
Lastly, is it possible to have systemwide adblocking without root?
Thanks

Far as i know, no. Since it's a Windows proprietary software of Xiaomi to unlock.
You can try to emulate it with wine and see if it work

Too bad... Ok, I might try using wine later.

You will need fastboot and adb drivers to work on linux for that, I don't know if it is possible or available for xiaomi phones, even with wine
Hi,
Here is a great way to do it. Worked very well for me:

All Roads Lead to Rome
I have recently rooted my Onn 7, and extracted the boot and recovery images.
(I accidentally deleted the boot image, but I still have one patched with Magisk, and the recovery image is still present.)
I want to get the entire system dumped, including the original system and boot partitions, which would require some help from other tablet owners (I'm broke right now).
I can walk you through the entire process of rooting the system, I just need willing participants.
(I could also use some help porting TWRP, since I have no idea how that works anymore.)
Hi, just got my hands on this device. I'd appreciate it if you can help me get my device rooted. I'm looking to remove some apps that came along with it. Thanks

You need to dump your `boot.bin`, either from an OTA update, or from a temprooted system.
Hello, I have an Onn 7, Gen 3 that I just picked up. I found the files you posted in the other forum but am not sure how to build a TWRP based off of those. Help please
Im also looking for a root method for the Onn Surf 7 gen 2. I get that i need to use usb debugging to log the url for the ota update, however my unit came with android 11 go and says up to date when i check for updates after a factory reset. can you tell me what I've done wrong? also what program are you using to run adb logcat from PC?
