[Q] Blu Life Pure XL soft brick/bootloop. Need help.

I aware that this is E7 section, but I have problem after tried to flash stock rom of a E7 (maybe this is a stupid thing to do)
Blu life pure XL is a rebrand E7, I believe, that's why I use many custom rom of E7 for my pure XL. and after update it to KitKat (using E7 rom of course) It didn't recognize sim card, and I tried to find a way to downgrade it back to 4.2.2
Couldn't find US version stock rom so I went with Gionee E7 stock rom and it's stuck with bootloop state.
I tried some ways :
-Get in recovery mode and use ADB to sideload a Rom -> not works
-Tried to replace stock recovery with custom recovery with fastboot mode -> not works to, cmd keep saying <waiting for device> and nothing happened
The thing is that I stuck with stock recovery of this Rom and can't go any further in this situation.
Any suggestion? please help..
c'on guys, I'm noob and I really need help here, anyone lend me a hand?

Thanks for your reply, finally someone replied me.
But I don't care about KitKat or Lollipop anymore, I tried to flash stock rom of E7 for my phone and now it stuck with bootloop, tried several ways but haven't got it work again
God, already planed to buy a new phone, but
Finally 've got out of this situation. It kept bootlooping because my effort to downgrade it to 4.2.2 was completely failed. My last attempt was applying the kitkat update package through ADB sideload, and It's boot up again with KitKat .
Well, I've found the US stock rom for my phone and I want to try to downgrade it to 4.2.2 again, but if it falls through and stuck in bootloop state again, I don't think I can get it back to life with that update package because that package is for Indian rom.
Any suggestion to help me downgrade my phone? Please, guys, I'm novice and completely noob, I really need help.

Restore back to Stock OxygenOS + Recovery

Hi guys,
I have TWRP recovery installed and Exodus.
Is there a way I can fully restore my OP2 back to stock.
IE, stock recovery and stock OS?
Can I also unroot and lock the device so it looks like nothing ever happened?
Lets say I need to return my OP2 for maintenance.
Thanks in advance.
Also I see OxygenOS 2.1.1 released recently, is there a full OS download?

Its simple !!
download the official signed rom.zip from oneplus two forum !!
place it into ur root folder
wipe data, format it
now flash the stock rom
restart ur phone !
when the phone start up, go to developer option > usb debug !
now download the stock recovery and put it in adb folder in ur pc.
type the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(recovery.img is the recovery image which u downloaded from onplus two forum. u can rename it and place it in adb folder)
after that type command
fastboot oem lock
press enter.
reboot ! violaa !!
u now have stock recover + stock rom = new device !!
enjoy
hope i have helped u !!:good:
If you are returning it for maintenance Oneplus allows rooted and modded devices to still be under warranty as long as it is not the modding that caused the problem.

You can use the rom from the link. Put on sdcard and flash away. The one you want is Deodexed rooted ROM: indian_mm_deodexed_rooted.zip

SM-J500F/DS cannot boot

Hi to all,
had root this device on 6.0.1 with TWRP. Now I needed a full reset due to a Bluetooth problem to check if its root/software related. BUT on my mistake I erased EVERYTHING through TWRP (Dalvik/ART Cahe,System,Data,Internal Storage,Cache, Micro SD, Android Secure, USB-OTG)
Tried to install custom rom Aospextended but I don't know the how to and I am lost in forums.. the phone doesn't boot... after zip file installation the screen fades to somewhat yellowish like LCD problem... I can still access TWRP..
p.s. I am an iPhone guy and just tried to fix this for my son... hope for your understanding for probably asking something very common..!
ANY HELP WOULD BE greatly appreciated even to get back to stock rom
Many thanks in advance!

You must go to section Samsung j5 2015 you will find all you need, since restoring to stock, rooting, installing the correct TWRP for your device....and more.
You NEED to READ because too much information for one post, but this is the correct place for you.
Pay attention the correct files TWRP for 601 because there are TWRP for lollipop devices, and when choosing ROMs you MUST downgrade your firmware to Lollipop, that's the reason for artifacts and greenish screen because of incompatibility of TWRP and there are ROMs that you can install with twrp601, others need booltloader and twrp lollipop. Hope you are nota blind anymore

I had the same problem when flashing Lineage 14.1 on my phone (J500M), screen fadding with a green-yellowish color and no boot. That happened because I was trying to flash the custon Rom with the wrong base. I was using 6.0 before flashing and Lineage requires you start from 5.1.
All I need to do was search for my device on sammobile.com , get the right stock firmware and use Odin to flash the rom on my device. From there I was able to flash TWRP again and install Lineage correctly.

You have two solutions, you can restore your phone STOCK ROM with Samsung Smart Switch or downgrade to Lollypop firmware and install any custom rom trough TWRP.
Restore to STOCK:
Use Samsung Smart Switch, see howto here
Downgrade to Lollipop:
Install only Bootloader/Modem [6.0.1/5.1.1]BOOTLOADER AND MODEM FOR J500xx [Downgrade more easy] (Collection)
Downgrade to Lollypop (full ROM) (Tutorial) Upgrade J5 (2015) to 6.0 and Downgrade to 5.1.1 + Rooting
