Rooting a BLU Studio Selfie 2 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, yesterday I bought a BLU Studio Selfie 2 because my old Xperia PLAY don't like any slider flex I buy for it.
I've been searching a lot but I can't find any lead about how to root my new phone. I know it's a fairly new phone (may 2016) but, come on!, it's octuber already.
I tried KingRoot but it fails after 53%. I also try using iRoot, 360 Root, Root Genius, One Click Root, Kingo Root all of them failed to root the phone.
I'm using Android 6.0 Marshmallow with an unlocked bootloader. My phone model is S230Q

Bump
Anyone???

Bump
Nobody???

Please!
Someone???

Sooooo, let me see if I got you right...
"If anyone want TWRP or CWM for your Mediatek device:
- Have the stock files boot.img - recovery.img and scatter....txt with link so I download them.
- Time online to test files created by me.
- Experience with SPFT to flash Custom recovery file.
- Donation ($5 ~ $15) - paypal - after that you can have link with Custom recovery file.
...
Very others idiots are copying my files created FREE for HELP much users.......... So he modified that files to no show my avatar and remove or not give credit to me. I decided currently create Custom recoveries only with donation.
Thanks for understand........."
You want people to pay you for creating a custom recovery image???
That's what I call balls...

Call whatever you want.....
So obviously you did not read the main part of my message. In addition, the user S230Q has already contacted me!
Do not judge me without knowing me and knowing what I did or did!!
When the user has Custom Recovery then users like you will cry for it or to release the file. At that moment you will understand my main message! Especially when NOBODY helps others or there is no developer willing to do so.
Make prayers for him to release the file for free and ALWAYS you can remember THANK him!!
This discussion ends here!
Thank you for understand!!

Squabbi has no recovery, lock, Font Theming, device info get, etc.... It also has a GUI, which in reality, is a MINUS. Unless he is just using the gui to launch a bat, then it is a VERY inefficiant and risky way of doing things, that's why I nixed my GUI tools (it bricked my Nexus 5, luckily I saved it).

Hey there Kwongger.
like you said its really incomplete. Which is true... No batch files are used in mine.
" that's why I nixed my GUI tools " Just wondering what's 'nixed'? Is it a typo? Last one, was it my Nexus 5 toolkit that bricked your phone? (I'm really sorry. :'( ). This was posted with no harm or aggression in any way.

not trying to act the role of N00b, but, when you get a chance, can you post either a step by step directions list, or, even a video on how to use this?
I haven't tried it yet, but I assume you just plug your phone into a windows pc, and if you have the proper drivers installed, the program starts up when you click on it..
thanks!

nixed- put an end to; canceled.
Yes. It was your kit that bricked it :/ and then I tried to fix it with a kit I made, which fixed it, and then bricked it.
Tools like that are inefficient. They can't natively run the commands, so the open a sort of "emulated" command prompt to execute them. That is where we run into issues. I think GUI kits are GREAT minus that.

Bump! - Unlock your LG G3 with TWRP! (D855 / D852 / D852g / F400)

Hi all!
We're back again, and have something great to post for everyone!

What is this?
Glad you asked!
This is a followup to Stump ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906 ) that allows you to flash Bump'd boot images to your LG G3.
But wait? I thought you said this is an unlock?!
It is! You can flash anything that's been Bump'd, and Bump'ing a boot image is easy to do, and I'll put a post on XDA on how to do that in a week or so once I have all the details finalized.
Most ROMs you'll want to download will be pre-Bump'd, so as an end user there's nothing you need to worry about.
Is this similar to Loki?
No, you will not need to ensure your firmware version matches exactly with the ROM you have. You will only need to make sure that the ROM you downloaded is compatible with your carrier.
What carriers is this compatible with?
This is compatible with all LG G3 variants. Look for a post in your XDA subforum with Bump to download. If the download link does not have your model in it (i.e. for ATT you'd download a D850 image), then make sure you're downloading from the correct forum post.

How do I use this?
Prerequisites:
You must be rooted for this to work! Any root method that works for your device will work.
A working ADB installation and familiarity with it. This thread is NOT the place to post questions about how to install/use ADB. Posts asking such questions will be deleted.
Instructions:
Download the file linked below to your computer
Set your phone to MTP mode, and copy the downloaded file to your phone's INTERNAL SD Card
Open a command prompt window on your computer, and run these commands one at a time (YOU WILL GET AN 'out of space' ERROR ON THE ZERO PART, IGNORE IT!) - copy and paste them if you must.
Edit CHANGEME to your phone's model, make sure it matches the file you downloaded. Capitalization matters!
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-2.8.0.0_CHANGEME-signed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Easy, right? You can now get into recovery as follows:
Power off the phone, and unplug USB
Hold Volume Down + Power
When you see the LG logo, keep holding Volume Down, release Power and quickly press it again.
Continue holding both Volume Down and Power until you see the "Factory Reset" screen (if you have Bump installed, it won't erase your data, don't worry!)
Press Volume Down, then Power to confirm
Press Volume Down again, and Power to confirm once again
Congrats!

Bump would not be possible without the help and support of many people.

Autoprime said d855 will get posted later today the team was tired and some zzzzz for the day. They deserve it?
It says it works with all LG G3 variants, but i have to ask this.
Does it include the new LG G3 Prime Cat.6 ??
Its works in terminal emulator guys no computer needed
Somebody tested this on F400K?
I'm gonna try to do this with the terminal emulator.
Somebody need to send LG that we unlocked it and to screw themselves
ends?
So if it ends with cannot open for read: no such file directory, did I enter something incorrectly? Possibly file location?
Terminal Emulator
So I've been attempting to use Terminal Emulator. My end result is cannot open for read: no such file or directory. I have tried multiple paths and locations such as sdcard0 sdcard0/sdcard I will try more in the morning, but I was just wondering if anyone got different results and which path are you using. I am on the Verizon variant vs985. Thanks everyone. Glad to see this.
thats damn nice news! can somebody test if reboot to recovery works to twrp?
dont know if i remember the key combinations
cant wait till its out for d855 hehe
Is it possible to adapt this to the G2? Would be damn nice!
Can I use flashify to flash this?
Added D855 too! Thanks Dees_Troy!
Wonderful work guys.
Just to check, flashing this doesnt factory reset, right? At the moment ive got everything working just right, i don't want to disturb it until Kernels appear..
For D855 its here, thanks and its work.

You basically just follow the instructions from the first post, skipping the "adb shell" command.
Make sure you put the recovery on the root of your sdcard.
I can't see why this wouldn't be safe. Instead of doing this remotely, you do it directly from your phone. Its basically the exact same thing.
I did it by terminal emulator, works fine, no errors. Been into recovery and rebooted, all good.
Can restart in recovery using Quick boot app.

About the Project
I bought this phone two weeks back and as a web developer, had this idea of combining JavaScript and device communication. The project is built on Electron. The basic UI is adapted from Electron API Demos.
The source is available on Github.
Porting it to another device
Porting the toolkit to another device is easy. Change a few strings, variables and necessary files like recovery image and you are done. After all every phone can communicate with your computer with ADB or Fastboot.
Credits
This project bundles the work of many other devs.
*@vache for potter TWRP, boot.img and WiFi patch.
*@chainfire for SuperSU.

Issues
1. TWRP backups saved to computer might fail to restore. The ones saved to phone work fine.
2. TWRP gets stuck on logo if booted instead of flashed.

You'll learn the most by doing things manually! Being spoon fed is easy, but not always necessarily the safest way. (someone might give you 'bad food'). I always like to know what command I give!
Nevertheless: nice scripts!

You'll learn the most by doing things manually! Being spoon fed is easy, but not always necessarily the safest way. (someone might give you 'bad food'). I always like to know what command I give!
Nevertheless: nice scripts!

Agreed. But after a while having to not go through all the steps is pretty nice.

Ouch. I just got rid of my v20 for this g5 plus. That v20 is a mess of a phone, especially when it comes to rooting. Good luck!
Haha I think we need more than good luck mate
But thanks
Hi all,
In case anybody is interested, I just used this on my (un-messed with) phone. Mine was a UK, 32/2 gig, dual sim moto 5-plus. Worked perfectly, flawlessly, fantastically! It just worked... Used on Ubuntu linux.
Thanks DrTechie, you're a star dev.
I had been worried about installing TRWP after reading other threads, but this works. And because it's a gui with scripts, there aren't any real instructions to follow - that you could get wrong. Very well designed.
For what it's worth, I chose not to install su. This means it's not truly rooted, and such things as Android Pay should still work. But, with the bootloader unlocked, and a good functioning custom recovery - I can flash any rom I need. And, I can flash su anytime.
Thanks!!!

1. Clone the git repo
https://github.com/drtechie/moto-g5p-toolkit
2. You will need NodeJS installed and build tools.
Refer to https://electron.atom.io/docs/ build env instructions
Setting up the build enviroment is easiest in Linux.
macOS will need XCode tools and Windows will need Visual Studio etc.
Do npm install to get all Node dependencies.
Build Electron-usb (This checks for usb attach-detach events)
3. In the file main.js L19 you will see global.strings.deviceName = 'potter'
Change 'potter' to your device name.
4. Fire up the app with 'npm start' or 'gulp'
Subsequent ADB and Fastboot requests will check for the new device name.
Hopefully your device should be detected.
5. Then the files - TWRP, SuperSU etc
check main-process/common/files.js
Change the name of the twrp recovery to your new file name twrp-<device>.img or whatever.
Copy the same to files folder.
Now try flashing the recovery.
Now you get the idea, I hope.
6. There are main-process/common/adb.js and fastboot.js which carry out core ADB and Fastboot commands.
File names for SuperSU will have to be changed if you change them.
Some methods are named checkMoto etc. You can change them if you feel so.

Glad I could help.
I have nothing to do with TWRP. I just copy pasted the file. It was developed by @vache.
@drtechie re: post #16
Thanks for your time, it's really appreciated.
I'm not a Dev by any means, but I'll have a look through the info you've provided. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to understand how to accomplish it.
Wish me luck
Is there any way to avoid unlocking bootloader via Moto website??
what is the purpose of flashing custom bootloader? i dont seem to get it. i am yet to receive my mobile but still curiosity. anyone who has experience please elaborate along with hurdles new one might face like me.
thank you

ZMax Pro (Z981) Free TWRP & ROOT Method

UPDATE (08/18/2018):
UNI no longer needed. The Z981 Firehose/Programmer has been retrieved & new instructions & files will be release soon. Come to Discord if u want to see how this sausage is being made. Everything is public. No one should pay for anything.
Join our discord {Mod edit} (Everybody is welcome).
We will need ROM/Kernel/Program makers. So please join Discord to help out. Nougat is also on its last bugs. And Oreo is booting. So there are a lot of great news for the Z981.
New thread will be started here on XDA with file links & instructions when ready.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We have working TWRP and Root for the Zmax Pro. We are almost ready to let users beta test.
Join our discord {Mod edit} (Everybody is welcome).
If you would like to be a tester before full root is launched/achieved. Or you can just keep up on the progress that is being made.
Although the TWRP installation is done thru a paid app. We plan to share free access to this method of installation. And we advice that no one purchase said paid app for the purpose of rooting your Z981. But if you already own said app. Or purchase it in order to share with others. Please contact us for a safe method of sharing access for the purpose of TWRP installation & rooting Z981's.
We need advance knowledgeable folks to come help us in getting the firehose extracted from the paid app. And also to help us try to target the bootloader & to develop SafeStrap in the mean time. Come on over. We got our fingers in many pies.
All credit goes to Armando for his awesome TWRP & Messi for testing the UNI method of root thru the paid app. And for those that where/or will be willing to share access to the paid app for free.
08/18/18 - UNI no longer needed.
04/28/18 - Updated Discord link.
Discord link is invalid. Also, what can I do to help? My Z981 currently sits on a shelf serving no purpose. Would love to regain life from it.
i have a broken glass one. i could use some root to mess around with it.
also, discord link is invalid.
Wow! Just when I had given up hope on seeing mine rooted!
I still use this phone as my primary. In fact, I have three of them. I'd be willing to help with testing and such, just let me know!
I even have one dedicated for my guinea pig phone, so it works out!
Dude, your link is broken ?
I've been rooting phones for about 7-8 years now. I'd be more than happy to help with testing to get this to a public release stage.
Has anyone figured out anything about discord? I would love to test this. I almost cried when the discord didn't work lol.

You should join their discord... Details are in the OP. The actual steps are "involved" lol, but I can confirm that Y314K was awesome and helped me with getting the Z981 on some TWRP and Magisk 16.0. Everyone is cool and helpful on their discord chat. Hope that helps.
Wish you give me more instructions.... I don't know what op means.... I downloaded the app... Registered... But nothing there... Need to know where to go... Etc
chat room
yeah, I got into the chat room and didn't see anything worthwhile as far as what this particular section is about! Just a bunch of random chatting it seemed to me, so I didn't see the point of it and still wondering what's said paid app is if it's not TWRP

Great, folks that refuse to read the #Annoucements.
Click on the link for Discord on the 1st post of this thread.
(That is what is known as Original Post aka OP)
Then accept the invitation to the Server in the link.
The very first welcome message tells you to read #Annoucements.
Click on #Annoucements.
Read ALL the #Annoucments.
Then follow the instructions for borrowing UAT/UNI.
The process of rooting the Z981 is not a one button push. It is very specific. And things must be done on a specific order. And as of this date it still involves a paid app. But thanks to folks that lend their licenses. We have made a process that makes rooting the Z981 totally free. As long as the Z981 owner is willing to follow instructions.
If we where just handing out license logins then u would have dozens of folks bricking their Z981's. Specifically their IMEI's. Which has not been the case for those the are willing to read & follow instructions.

It is not my root method. The method was first posted by Messi2050.
What is our method is the lend & walk-thru options that our Discord group provides. So folks don't have to spend a penny on root. Which we believe should always be free. And our release of updated/latest TWRP & a Debloated Discord v1.1 ROM (Based on MPCS B21) are something we are proud off.
And pretty soon, once some major bugs are worked out there should be Nougat flavors of Linage OS & Resurrection Remix & other Nougat ROMs available for the Z981. And eventually there should be Oreo ROMs too.
Hey, thanks for the reply and not blasting me too hard. When I was on the Discord chat I had kids running around me acting crazy not to mention my screen was busted up so I was having a hard time. And thanks for the breakdown of the acronym because I am surely one who often wonders what some of those abbreviations stand for.

Read. Read. Read. You must want to help yourself. And once again, you can always use the "search thread" option in the upper right hand corner before you come off sounding uninformed. People will help you, but you must first show that you are involved enough to find answers to the basics - if not you probably shouldn't be rooting your phone.
i did join and rooted my zte phone thank you

Source code?
You can't honestly expect people to download a random zip containing an executable right?
Although your intentions may not be nefarious you can't trust anyone.

Nobody obliges someone to use it, if you want you can, if you don't want, don't use it.
I want to specify that this tool have more of 200k of downloads.

I don't want to discourage anyone from trying this tool, I'm simply stating people should be cautious, just because it's been downloaded a heap of times doesn't automatically make it safe. Think back to when Lenovo was found having over 750,000 laptops spying on users.
I would trust the XDA community and their giving him a 3214 thanks meter.

The irony of you recommending this tool after "looking over" the code is just funny. FWIW, I have never used this tool or any other like it and have no interest in it other than someone trying to help others.

You might be missing my point. Your decision that is not malicious vs his original contention that it wasn't don't provide any more proof to anyone who didn't either review the code or write the code. All we have to go in is the XDA forum reputation. He is a developer on a developer site with a good one, and you have next to none. I don't think either of you are out to mislead anyone, and I certainly would not be the first to try a tool like this (if not for malicious code reasons, for "I don't feel like unbricking my phone" reasons). I wish you both well.
