***PLEASE DO NOT SKIP THE INSTRUCTION THAT SAYS MAKE A BACKUP*****
Lots of people are requesting help after not making a backup. And while people are able to help, the files are very large and takes up considerable bandwidth. Much better to EASILY create your own backup.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all a BIG thanks to @ionioni, this is all his work i am just re-uploading files and some sort of instructions. Much of the instructions are also lifted from ionioni, so thanks from me too!
That's right sources here: https://twrp.me
There Is currently no xposed support for intel 64 bit android
Neither I or the developer take any responsibility for damage to yourself or your tablet, by carrying out anything written here you accept full liability for your actions. I am quite sure xda forums feel the same.
****BIG WARNING , This is ONLY for the Yoga Tab 3 Pro models YT3-X90(F|X|L) Intel Atom powered CherryTrail SoC devices flashing any of these files to another device will more than likely result in BRICK!!****
ANOTHER BIG NOTE.....lollipop can only be rooted using supersu version 2.46 whilst marshmallow version ,as of writing, can ONLY get root using magisk!
You should backup all important data before attempting any of this as you will be losing all data during the process. Titanium backup is good for backing up and restoring apps, other personal files can be moved to external sd or copied to computer.
First off you will need to have fastboot installed on your PC if you havn't already. Find it here......
For windows. https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
For Mac. https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
For Linux. https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
To gain ROOT access.....
1. download and extract the twrp.img file from the zip attached (YOU MUST EXTRACT FROM THE ZIP!!!) and copy supersu.zip or magisk.zip to tablets external memory card. https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/ (LOLLIPOP only supersu v2.46 is supported, other versions cause bootloop) or https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 for MARSHMALLOW.
2. unlock your tab if is not unlocked (this is mandatory in order to boot custom images like TWRP recovery):
a) Enable developer options ( Go settings, at bottom select "About tablet" then press "Build number" 7 times. congrats you are now a developer.)
b) Go back to settings and now at the bottom there is a new option "developer options" in developer options enable "OEM unlocking"
3.Restart in fastboot mode (hold volume + while powering on tablet)
4. In the same foler you have extracted your TWRP.img (in windows) hold shift key while right clicking in the explorer window, select open command window here.
5. At the command prompt (black window that opens) type "fastboot oem unlock" for LOLLIPOP or "fastboot flashing unlock" for MARSHMALLOW. at this point you will be prompted that you want to delete all data, this is obviously a security measure that cannot be avoided.
6. go to step 7.
7. In command window (the little black window you opened earlier) type "fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0(6)-x90.img" your tablet should now boot to TWRP. ( This is a live session TWRP has not been flashed to your tablet)
******MAKE A TWRP BACKUP!!!!!!!!!!********* DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP.
Modifying system files will mean that you are unable to take Lenovo OTA Updates, the only way to install new updates is to later restore your TWRP stock backup, then reROOT. thats just the way it is i am afraid.
8. in TWRP install SuperSU.zip (lollipop) or magisk.zip (marshmallow) located at your external memory card.
9. Thats it enjoy Your rooted tablet.
10. If you experience time changing upon reboot use your favourite method to edit build prop, I used buildprop editor found in the playstore. Find "persist.sys.timezone" and change it to your location, I had to set mine to Europe/London.
PS...your tablet will hang on every boot at bootloader error 3 to warn about the unlocked bootloader, PLEASE DO NOT lock your bootloader, this is a small annoyance and makes brick recovery much easier. (just restore your lovely TWRP stock backup.
In order to install new Lenovo OTA update you must restore your TWRP stock backup, then take the OTA, then go through the root process again making a new TWRP stock backup after applying the new OTA.
Just one more BIG WARNING, this twrp comes with an option to reboot to bios. Be warned if you don't know what you are doing and you mess something up in there, FULL BRICK! no one will be able to help you recover.
PPS...there seems to be some issues with using magisk modules on our tab. To install them one must download them and then manually install them from twrp.
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/
Now for the real magic.
this can be achieved with or without root! just make sure, as per the ROOT instructions, the first thing you do in TWRP is make a full backup.
As a yoga tab 3 pro owner you know that your tablet lags, crashes and is generally buggy, mine would frequently crash during periods of long sleep.
there is a solution to this problem that is rather simple but seems to yield huge results. if we just run our tablet with the data partition unencrypted it runs like any other nice android device.
once again myself or the developer take no resposibility for your actions if you would like to try this.
instructions by ionioni.
""encryption of the 'data' partition (the one that holds your installed apps, personal stuff etc) is forced on these devices (even with no password set) the 'data' partition is automatically encrypted at boot time if it 'sees' an un-encrypted 'data' partition. in order to disable the enforced 'data' encryption i made a script that will disable the forced encryption flag in the existing boot (partition) image (encryption can still be triggered by the user in the Settings->Security panel). this will not decrypt an encrypted 'data' partition! will just allow you to boot having an un-encrypted 'data' partition."".........ionioni
1. make sure that when you make your TWRP backup that you include the boot partition (it will be patched by the script to disable forced encryption).
2. copy attached x90-disable_encr.zip to your tab and install from TWRP (once finished it will create also a backup of your original boot partition in the folder where the zip is located, however this is only a safety backup as you should have already backed up your Boot partition when making your TWRP backup)
3. **DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP** to finish, reboot in fastboot mode and input "fastboot format data" in order to have a clean(un-encrypted) 'data' partition on the next boot (and it will no longer be automatically encrypted as long as you have the modified boot)
alternatively you can format 'data' from within TWRP if you use the attached 'data' enabled TWRP.
i can confirm that since i have been running my tablet unencrypted using ionionis zip that i hav had no lagging, no crashing. runs just like any other android device. The kernel memory hog still remains but it works silky smooth.
Should anything go wrong stock rom for MARSHMALLOW can be found here...

Thank you for continuing the work !
Do you have compared the difference between encrypted/decryptet - is it worth to do all the stuff (root, etc.) ?
If you have to say a number in percent, how faster will it be ? You've tested multi-user (2nd user) ? If i setup a second user the tablet is nearly unusable - it's better with disabled encryption?
Sorry that i have a lot of questions, but it sounds not that easy and i think about it if its worth to do it
edit:
if i make a full backup - where is the backup of TWRP stored? Do i need a sdcard? Will it be overwritten by OTA/Update/Rooting/Decryption?
thx for your answers already.
I havnt tried with a second user. I could try for you.
before unencryption performance was sluggish. after unencrypted its just fine.
I know it seems like a lot of detail but it is actually easier than it sounds.
You don't have to have root to run the unencrypted stuff but you still need to oem unlock and make a full backup. Backup must be on external media, either ext sd or usb otg.
Your data would not be mountable in twrp unless unencrypted already. And then if you ever accidentily encrypted you ay be forced to format losing your backups.
External media is the way to go.

If i try "decryption" than root is not far away (so i also get rid of some "lets say useless" system apps)
If ýou can try to check for multiuser you should have running facebook on both accounts (cause fb need a lot of ram and cpu)
maybe i will try it on weekend. i'll think about it....
What about the other peoples who own this tab?
gtx, juergen
Well I would always go ROOT, as it offers more choice, but of course the choice is ultimately yours.
I can try multi users but unfortunately I am one of those weirdos that does not use facebook. I guess I could try a couple of instances of chrome/Firefox.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
Ok just set up a new user switched between them ran chrome on both with several tabs open. didn't seem too bad.
Indeed more feedback from other users who have benifitted from unencrypted data partition would be useful.

Thanks for your effort.
Hello,
BIG THANKS for your Root solution !
All working !!! thanks !!
All thanks to ionioni, this is all his work, i was just the guinea pig. Glad you have root, did you run the unencryption zip?
Sent from my Lenovo YT3-X90F using Tapatalk
Thanks ionioni and joesnose!
I rooted my device and ran the unencryption zip, it definitely makes everything a little smoother.
Also, I successfully mounted my exFAT sdcard with the help of lurker0's post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3126394.
Nice. Thanks for the exfat find.

Since the old thread is locked, I'll repeat myself here:
I rooted my YT3-X90F and decrypted it as well. Result is better overall performance (some1 asked rating in percentage, I would say +40% speed & +60% response).
But, sadly, it still needs restart every ~24hours, because all the freezes and lags come back with time.
Advise:
For those who want to root this device only to make it work with Sixaxis controller - don't even start. Yoga T3 doesn't support required bluetooth drivers (huge shame on Lenovo).
doesn't seem to connect to the ds4 either. Just sticks at pairing.

Hi Joesnose and thanks for putting the instructions up (and of course, thanks to ionioni).
I have a couple of questions.
EDIT; oh pants, I have some more (possibly stupid) questions - just to be sure I know what I'm doing !
In the very first instructions about rooting:
1. I download the twrp.img.zip to my PC and unzip it to PC right ?
2. And the SuperSu goes in my ext SD card, not on the PC ?
3. I assume I must connect the YT3 Pro to the PC at some point ? When would that be ??
4. I don't understand instruction 7. It says type "fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0(6)-x90.img". Do I need to have that file downloaded or something ? What is twrp-2.8.7.0(6)-x90.img file ?
And what does it mean, "This is a live session TWRP has not been flashed to your tablet" ?
I can see that in the section about unencrypting the data partition that there is a file with a similar name to " twrp-2.8.7.0(6)-x90.img' but it has the words "data-enabled" in the fine name. I'm not sure what to do with this ??
5. At what point do I take a back-up of the original YT3 Pro stock image ? It's listed between 7 and 8 ? Do I do it right after 7 ? How do you make the back-up please ? And I guess I better store another copy somewhere safe, off the SD card too ?
6. If I just root this, can I then get OTA updates normally ? (without having to restore to stock).
7. And, if I do root and/or data unencryption, can the YT3 Pro be put back exactly how it was before changing anything ? Including it getting OTA updates normally ?
8. How do I make back-ups of apps while the YT3 Pro IF I wanted to restore those apps later on on an UNrooted YT3 Pro ? I don't know why I'd want an UNrooted YT3 Pro in the future, but for instance, if I used Titanium Backup, that needs root right ?? For instance, if I want to restore data from a Titanium Backup on an UNrooted YT3 Pro, will it work ? Or can I use something else ?
Sorry about all the questions - I can't believe I've rooted and installed custom ROMs for 4 devices - for some reason this seems different to the others and it was a while ago !
Thanks in advance

Ok let me see if I can help.
1. Yes
2. Yes
3.you must have the yt3 connected to your pc as the commands will be sent from your pc. Tablet must be in fastboot mode.
4. Yes sorry, when you extract the twrp.zip the file is called "twrp-2.8.7.6(0)-x90.img"
the twrp recovery is not flashed to your tablet it is just loaded temporarily, in a live session. Once rebooted it is gone. Normal recovery is not overwritten.
To run the unencrytption script one must be in twrp.
5. As soon as you get twrp loaded make a backup to either external sd or usb and yes not a bad idea to have a backup of your backup.
6. No
7. Yes, simply restore your backup before taking an ota update.
8. not sure about this one.
Indeed it appears like a lot of instructions but once you get into it its just like any other device.
Hope that helps.

Big thanks for the answers - makes more sense now, especially the bit about a recovery session as I'm used to installing clockwork and using it on the device.
You can install twrp to your device but only do this after you have made a backup from a live session, making sure of course that your backup contains the original recovery.

Oh, ? At what point does twrp get installed and how do you do that?
And is it obvious how to include the original recovery in the backup?

Hello guys.
I have successfully ported TWRP 3.0.0-0 for our Smart Prime 6.
It's 100% working !!
There are NO BUGS !! :good:
DOWNLOAD
NEW LINK: DOWNLOAD
________________________________________
How to install
Via app:
1) Download TWRP 3.0.0-0 from the link above and place it on internal storage of your phone.
2) Download Flashify app from Google Play Store.
3) Open Flashify app.
4) Grant root permissions.
5) Click "Recovery image" and then click "Choose a file"
6) Navigate to the folder where you placed TWRP 3.0.0-0 and choose the .IMG file.
7) Press "Yup!" button and wait.
8) After a while the phone will require reboot. So click "reboot" button.
9) Phone will reboot and automatically boot into TWRP, so you can press reboot to system.
10) Enjoy!
Special thanks to Oneb1t for modded .fstab file! :highfive:
edit: you can use Flashfire app too instead of Flashify, but it's not recommended, because the latest version of the Flashfire app is not flashing properly.
Brilliant! Thank you so much! Do you know any custom ROM what is better than the factory ROM?
There is no custom ROM for this phone yet.
But I'm trying to make LITE ROM.

Do you think it's easier/possible to adapt a ROM from a similar device like say, the Alcatel
Pop 2 (5) Premium ? I don't know if there's any ROM for that phone tho, but since it's branded as Alcatel you might get more support from the community here than by using Vodafone's name.
Hello, Demonlord6.
I have tried to make a stock flashable ROM via dumping the system folder and the boot.img file, but without success.
It does not boot properly.. when I tried to flash it without dalvik/system wipe everything was as before.
When I tried to wipe /system and dalvik first and then flash the ROM, it causes bootloop.
So now I'm trying to fix this issue..
I don't know where the problem is.
So when this issue will be solved I will try to build a ROM from Alcatel phones with same specs.

Hey, Andreno306
I don't know much about Rom's in that level of expertise I'm afraid :/ but I did some digging and came across this simple tutorial on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387941
I imagine it does not work for every single device out there, at least not with modifying stuff after, but it might be a good starting point I think, in fact I would try to actually make one myself had I a working PC currently at home. But even if I did I had no way of testing it because this is currently my daily driver phone.
Just wanted to say that I'm also very interested in getting a slim ROM for this device. I can't offer any expertise I'm afraid! Just wanted to show that there are people interested in your project.
:highfive:
Stock Kernel
Thanks, it works great.
This is little off-topic but does anyone has the stock kernel, i flashed NeoKernel but it is not that good and i forgot to make a backup do can anyone please link me to the stock kernel?

But I recommend to restore it with the flashify app, because that's how the backup was made.
If, for some reason, you don't/can't restore it, then you can always try Sugar on the PC which basically restores everything to factory settings (recovery, kernel, etc, it all gets reset)

Restored and my phone keeps turning off after boot(once i saw the turn off screen, other times it just vibrates at boot screen), isnt it the wrong file? (flashed wia flashify)
I was able to restore the boot from TWRP (lucky i made a backup this time)

Sorry for the stupid question but... does it works on Smart Prime 7 too?
Has anyone installed that linked ROM? It seems to be what we are looking for... a slim debloated rom.
I presume we need to be rooted, install this TWRP, then flash that ROM?
It mentions unlocking the bootloader, I dont think I've seen any info anywhere about unlocking the bootloader.
Can anyone give a quick lowdown on all the steps required to install that ROM please?
Hi everyone, I discovered that Elephone Trunk and Smart Prime 6 have (almost) identical specs: https://www.devicespecifications.com...ison/c584481c6
So it would be great to "port" (or build ?) the official Nougat-OmniROM for Trunk to VF-895N: http://dl.omnirom.org/trunk/
Last but not least, here's official Vodafone Smart Prime 6 sources: Vodafone_Smart_prime_6_20150413.tar.xz
TWRP for vodafone smart max 4 990N (coolpad 8890u).
I tried this recovery image for vodafone smart max 4 990N (coolpad 8890u).
The phone is in a bootloop state. I think i have usb debugging enabled already.
So, in fastboot mode i can see the device in my pc in adb fastboot cmd.
Im trying to ''fastboot boot recovery.img" but it stops in ''booting..''.
Dont know whats the problem but for sure i can not find a specific twrp image for this device.
If i enter fastboot oem device-info it says ''(bootloader) Device unlocked: true''.
Any ideas ?
hi i was wondering if you could share how you did this or if you can make one for the Vodafone smart n9 (VFD720) it would help a lot of people out looking for this
Needed to root a Vodafone Smart Prime 6 (VF 895N) (got it from a friend because it became unresponsive from all the updated google play stuff ) to get linux-deploy running. Just wanted to leave a big thank you here for Adreno306 for his TRWP 3.0.0-0. it did the job very well!
Only the procedure to get it installed differed quite a bit for me, since Flashify is no longer available.
I wanted to preserve boot and just flash trwp to recover, what worked quite well.
The first thing I did was to boot the phone manually in recovery mode (Power+Vol up) and reset it to factory settings from there. It takes a little while. Then follow the setup, go to phone settings, enable developer mode and set usb debugging. If "unlock oem" is not available there, reboot into recovery again, set unlock there and reboot into bootloader.
The prerequisites are adb and fastboot, both must work. Means adb devices and fastboot devices must show the phone. What can make problems under win10 as it sometimes does not detect the phone in bootloader mode. An actual google usb driver is needed, as provided by google.
For me adb worked well, but when rebooted into bootloader with adb reboot bootloader, fastboot didnt detect the phone. With the phone still connected, the windows device manager showed an unknown device with and exclamation mark (!). Right click, install driver, select driver manually, select driver from device list, mark all devices (first entry) and click "disk", then point to the usb driver director and select "ADB fastboot driver". ( A more comprehensive description is available here )
Once adb and fastboot detect the device, it is time to prepare it. Boot to system (normal operation) first. Make sure that the TRWP 3.0.0-0.img is renamed to trwp.img and then
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot boot trwp.img
Now the phone should show the trwp menu, set it up to root the phone and install SuperSU. Reboot into bootloader and
fastboot flash recovery trwp.img
fastboot reboot
Verify with adb reboot recovery, you should see trwp now. Reboot to system.
Now finally go into the app selector, start SuperSU, and root the phone. SuperSu uses trwp recovery mode to install its image and root is done.
Again, big thanks for providing the TRWP image!

To flash TWRP you need to have OEM unlock enabled in Developer Settings. Otherwise your device will not boot.
There is a guide here
I'm pretty sure if your device is not rooted or anything already beforehand there isnt a way to remove the password without loosing your data. This is to protect a users data incase there phone is stolen or lost.

This is the same post i linked you.
Yes - you can install TWRP without installing root but you still need to have OEM unlock ticked in developer settings.
Also once flashing TWRP you will not be able to mount data or boot your device unless you FORMAT data which will loose all your files on your internal storage.
i think the solution "so i found solution of TWRP for remove the password.key and/or gesture.key in data/system right"
is only for people that already have TWRP installed on there device before they loose there passwords.

thanks for reply
so maybe i will try search another method for this situation
thanks
best regards
I have a UK XT1604 Retail device which is running the current TWRP and is rooted with the stock rom.
The device was rooted with the guide from here, but at the time I didn't realise device encryption was not enabled...
Now I'm trying to enable to device encryption, but the process never starts (by the looks of it) the phone reboots to the Moto/Lenovo logo and just sits there. A manual reboot brings back the normal OS with no changes. I've seen some other posts which say I need to un-root, and other which say I just need to re-flash the boot.img file
Can someone tell me the correct process for enabling device encryption and re-rooting the device after.
I was unable to find the stock UK Retail image for this phone, but I have found a o2 version - can I use any .img files I need from that safely ? My other option is - I have an identical none-rooted device, if I fastboot TWRP (rather than install) can I extract and use the .img files from that device on mine? - This has been uploaded this morning - but its not 100% clear is this is UK and for the XT1604
Can anyone confirm the current 3.1.1-0 supports encrypted file systems and can access them?
Very new to all this Android stuff so any help is very welcome.
You should be able to unroot from the SuperSU app (at least that's what I did) and then encryption will work normally.

I'd seen the option but wasnt sure if I needed the full un-root, or just 'disable super user' I presume once I've encrypted I just need to re-flash the SuperSU zip file?

You'll need to do a full un-root, encrypt, and then you can flash the SuperSU zip again.
So the encryption worked fine & is set with a password. Now I'm unable to access TWRP in recovery mode as it won't accept the known working password.
I Changed the password to a PIN and that allows me to access TWRP - but if I change it back to a password TWRP flat refuses to accept it. I've seen old issues relating to earlier versions to TWRP where people had the same issue, but nothing relating to the current version. Any ideas?
We have the first port and root for this highly unpopular BLU phone.
BLU DASH M 2 - Carliv Touch Recovery 6.6.1 aka CTRI have managed to replace the stock recovery and still keep the stock system since there are no customs roms at the moment. The recovery doesn't require you to be rooted but rooting is possible after flashing or booting this rom. Don't fall for the fake Dash files on youtube, I have downloaded them all and they are copies of similar phones and don't work.. This one is ported over from the D070Q by Carliv.
It will not flash a full custom rom but will flash ZIPs so you can root, recover, flash partitions and hopefully pave the way for a TWRP . I do have a TWRP ported over to the BLU Dash M 2 but the touch doesn't work so you can't pass the first swipe screen.
DOWNLOAD from uploadfiles.io @ https://ufile.io/8oc6k
Instructions
- Make sure to backup any important files, this will wipe your data pics, vids, etc..
- Enable OEM unlock under developer options and power down phone
- Boot to stock recovery by holding PWR + VOL UP
- In recovery choose "Reboot to Bootloader" ( aka fastboot )
- You should now be at a blank screen with Fastboot mode: at the bottom
Open your terminal and type the following code, obviously replacing your paths with the correct ones.
fasboot devices < --- will return a serial number or something to indicate connection is OK
fastboot oem unlock <--- will prompt your phone screen to accept unlock request, chose VOL Up to accept and make sure it says "Unlock pass" at the bottom
For testing only
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot CTR_6.6.1_BLU_DASH_M2_D090U.img
For permanent flash
fastboot flash recovery CTR_6.6.1_BLU_DASH_M2_D090U.img
Don't power down, instead boot in the same recovery
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot CTR_6.6.1_BLU_DASH_M2_D090U.img
Inside CTR select Wipe cache, Dalvik cache, Userdata / Data.
Select Reboot Phone from CTR menu and when asked to patch , Select " NO "
On first reboot it will reboot twice, then boot the stock system as if it was a factory reset.
This now paves the way for root with Magisk. See my post after this for rooting Blu Dash M2.
Enjoy !

Hey Thank you, got it working. Had to alter it a bit though. Had to select "Yes" for the fix as mine was restoring the old recovery.
Also when I followed your method, the system was not mounting the internal storage.
So I didn't wipe the data and used "Yes" when rebooting and the recovery is good.
I'll be looking out for the root constructions.
Great tutorial though.

That will not work for root because Magisk needs the original boot rom. I'm sure it worked for you and that's a good start but wiping the partitions in order does work as well, I probably just left something out or got the order wrong. It's important we don't use CTR to patch because then Magisk complains about boot img being aleady patched and doesn't work.
Anyway you get the idea, it took me a few tries as well but in the end I managed to keep all 3 features intact, the stock rom + CTR + root. If you need to start again you don't need the full rom or sp flash, just flashing system.img to sytem partition works to restore everything.
I'm hoping to find the source code to the kernel and make a TWRP with touch working but the CTR is the only thing we have so far. It does flash zips just not full operating systems. It also flashes boot and recovery partitions.
Thanks, I can restore and try again. Do you have the tutorial for the magisk to root?

I think most can figure out Magisk from here, the real hurdle was the lack of a recovery because the stock rom doesn't allow Magisk to be flashed.
Thanks, I already started checking in on it... I'll update here once I get through.
How to Root Blu Dash M 2 with Magisk
I have managed to root the stock system using Magisk. The stock recovery will not let you do this, as usual ignore the garbage on youtube and personal blogs, they're giving false info and fake files. This method works and I'm the first user who ported CTR 6.6 to allow for this.
DOWNLOAD Magisk from developer https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
FOLLOW THE ABOVE POST to replace stock recovery with CTR 6.6
Instructions
- Follow first post to install CTR 6.6 recovery and reboot a couple of times to make sure it stuck.
- Enable OEM unlock under developer options and power down phone
- Boot to new CT 6.6 recovery by pressing PWR + VOL UP
- In recovery choose "Install Zip" and choose the "Magisk.zip" from your /SDCARD
Magisk installer will launch and if you did everything right, complete without errors.
- Select Reboot Phone from CTR menu and when asked to patch , Select " NO "
Phone should now reboot twice and have Magisk installed. I have verified root by deleting protected files like default.prop and gave Root Explorer permanent root access. If something doesn't work just find the right sequence. I believe it was flash system, flash recovery. wipe partitions. flash magisk
Enjoy !
The only thing left do now is find the Blu kernel source code for the M2 so a working TWRP can be compiled from scratch, then any MT6580 rom should be flashable.
Perfectly... Got it working using your same method after reinstalling the firmware... only difference was.
After installing recovery and booting into it, I then installed Magisk via adb sideload.
Confirmed root works.
Thank you very much for your patience and assistance

Thank you very much! You do not know how much I needed to be root! I thought that this device was impossible to root. I really am very grateful. Friend was asking me if you could adapt the custom Slimrom rom for this device? because all the storage of this one takes the system, it would be of great help for all the users of this phone, I do not know if you can or are interested, but I thank you in advance

Hi, can you provide a download link that doesn't require you to get a premium account to access the file. It's against XDA rules.

It is not premium, the file just expired so the site will keep it on line for a fee. I'll upload it again.

Try this one.. if the host tries to replace it with the original let us know and one of the others who have the file will re upload it to another host. I don't feel like signing up anywhere so that is why I use this host.

All 'ya 'all are welcome . Unfortunately I can't go any further because there is no source for the kernel so TWRP won't work because there is no touch to get past the first screen. Otherwise if it. did slim rom would flash without any problems, its just these older recoveries don't support a few things that TWRP has to make flashing full roms successful. If someone has source files for the BLU Dash M2 let me know.
I'll just let you guys know, I managed to make a pretty good custom rom with root only by deleteing everything but the core OS. I don't recommend this for everyone but I did get rid of just about everything and made this 6.0 more like 4.4 .. I got it to the point where even the phone and SMS didn't work and the google framework was deleted, then slowly began adding my approved versions of apps. Now its totally de googled but again I realize this isn't for everyone. I just wanted a small rom with camera ad GPS and those are working fine for me.
Custom recovery link taken down again
Could someone please upload the custom recovery again?
