With activesync browse in your \windows directory and remove touch.dll file.
then reset

Have you added touchflo with a .cab or cooking your rom?
My first solution is good only in case of .cab, if you have cooked your rom, you must rebuild the rom and flash it

Unfortunately I can't browse with activesync, its asks me to unlock the phone.
I installed it from a .cab file.

Unfortunately I had exactly the same problem after hours of tweaking the phone to make it almost perfect. I had to reinstall the ROM again, won't make that make mistake again. Sorry I don't know of a way around this problem.

Yep, I have had to resort to reflashing my phone, fortunately I had backed up my contacts recently, not my photos though - I had some good ones which I'm gutted I lost. The upside is I now have the HTC cube!!
Thanks for your responses!!

Stuck unlocking (read the other forums) little help?

Hey guys I know this is not the unlocking thread but I tried posting on the thread made by "coke" with no response. So I thought I'd do it here. So here's the story
I have a Sprint Vogue and I was really getting tired of the slow HTC WM 6.1 and all the buttons that I could not modify on the cube (which is useless cuz I dont use any of the them). So I decided to try out a new rom with 6.1 and touchflo 2D.
I went to the ppcgeeks forum to unlock the phone, followed the instructions, read and reread the posts. Finally decided to give it a go. Everything went smoothly until the last step (exitbl) of coke 2.31. It kept telling me to disable USB on activesync and then the program would just shut down! ?? And yes I did disable the USB option for the activesync before that step. I looked under the device information and realized that nothing has changed interms of the ROM. So I tried it again and again (4 times). Then I just reinstalled the HTC 6.1 rom with the 3.42.30 radio... So any ideas on why this may be happening? I promise I followed all the steps
My second question is, in your opinions, what is the most reliable, stable and fast Touch 6.1 rom? Let me know if you have an opinion.
Thanks so much in advance, any help would be appreciated.

I had what sound like the same problem yesterday.
my post is over at ppcgeeks.
"I disconnected but I did not see the phone exit bootloader mode and reset itself.
....
What should I do from here?
Reboot phone, soft reset, hard reset? - go have fun?
....
I did a couple soft resets and have been playing around with it,
I guess I upgraded right... but it was weird there at the end, instructions not the clearest to me, i guess."
mine seems to be working fine, except the weather thing.
shows
in the About section my phone reads
WM 6.1 Pro
CE OS 5.2.21041
Device Information reads
ROM version 1.05.Alltel
Radio version 3.42.30
PRL Version 30008
PRI version 2.02_011
I was kinda scared to do another hard reset b/c I had already changed a bunch of settings.
Sorry if this doesn't help you too much,
but it is nice to know I'm not the only one with this issue
.

Hmm sounds like a similar problem. But I thought it wasn't unlocked unless we saw 2.31.coke somewhere in the device information.
As far as I know, hard reset did not hurt the phone. I tried installing that unlocker 4 times then went with the original HTC rom and it still turned out just like before. It installed the rom fine
Yeah I am still concerned about how it wont go through the exitbl step...

Yeah, the directions can be a bit confusing over there on that thread
Basically here are the steps
Download the 2.31 unlocker
Download the ROM you want to use (my personal preference is this one for a TF2D style or this one for a WinMO 6.5 style interface that has TF2D included to switch back and for - both very stable, fast and clean and the thread is very active for help (especially if your on Verizon or Bell which can have issues)
from there, use WinRAR to extract each file into separate folders
then Put your phone in bootloader mode (press and hold power+camera+stylus in reset until 3-color screen comes up)
At this point at the bottom of the screen it will say Serial, plug it into the USB cable or cradle and it should change to USB
Start the exe in the 2.31 and follow the directions (you may get some errors about sleep4.exe just click on OK as it keeps occuring its a XP/Windows7 64 bit issue if that is what your using)
At the point where it tell you to disconect, unplug the phone from the USB cable and wait (count to 10 or something) then plug it back in, it should have went from USB to SERIAL and now back to USB at that point go ahead and hit any key on your PC and it should continue along
once complete, reboot, allow it to do its thing then reboot and go back into bootloader again during reboot you should see coke 2.31 in the upper left if so your ready to go
plug it into your USB/Cradle again and then go into the ROM folder you extracted the ROM into
Once the screen on your phone says USB again go to the folder and double click on the RomUpdateUtility.exe file and follow the directions again, it may take some time so be paitent
once the phone flashes and reboots, let it run and do its thing to the and reboot itself then (and here is an important step for stability) once it starts up do a hard reset (red+green+stylus in reset hole) hit the enter button (center of D-Pad) it will reflash the phone and then red key (send) when prompted
then go thought the setup again, this time you can actually set things up as your keeping them this time and once things are done and your at the start screen on your phone power off (not reset) the phone and then start it up again - seems doing it this way takes care of alot of little issues that will come up before they can happen
Depending on your carrier be sure to have one of the DCD Carrier Cabs as well especially for the 6.5 ROM as it is a generic ROM and some have reported needing to run the DCD Carrier Cab for the service they use to get on the internet and use GPS and the like
Hope that clears up things a bit LOL

Doug, when I go into the bootloader it DOES say SPL-2.31.Coke. Does that mean that it is all set? Also this time, it still asked me to disable active sync at this time (at the exitbl step) do you have to run that step to complete the unlock?
This is what my bootloader image says
VOGU100 NFG
SPL-2.31.CoKe
CPLD-3
Let me know if I need to run the exitbl or if I am set to load the rom. Thanks so much for your help!

Your all set to flash if in bootloader it says as your phone does SPL-2.31.CoKe
you all unlocked and ready to go ... just put your phone in bootloader mode then connect the phone to your PC "serial" will change to "USB" and then run the RomUpdateUtility.exe file and follow along with the bouncing ball, do the watusi, wipe hands on pants - whatever helps you pass the time
but follow the steps as outlined above with the hard-resets and power-offs and the like, believe me its better to solve the issues before they occur than wait and have to start over
Detroit Doug

Doug, it worked like a charm. I did not know that the last step of the unlocker was not required. I installed 6.1 with Touchflo 2D. Looks and feels .. wow. it's the coolest thing I've seen. I've followed all your step including a hard reset before I started using it. So far the speed is impressive.
Couple more questions for you since you are an expert at this.
1. If I reload the factory default ROM, will it reset everything back to normal and can I keep reverting back and forth between different ROMs without any consequences?
2. It (the NFSFAN's 6.1 rom) seems to use less Storage memory (137 free vs HTC's ~100 free) but much more Program memory (59 free vs. ~80 in HTC's) than the HTC default. Any ideas or concerns about this?
All in all thanks so much! Hopefully as I learn more and more I will be able to contribute things too. You are right. This is so cool and highly addictive!!
Take care~ BTW I am in Lansing Go State!

Glad it worked, and Ill try to answer you concerns
1 -Now that it is unlocked go ahead and swap ROMs all you want to, the tricky part is the stock ROM, flashing back to stock can and will revert your radio (if youve upgraded it) and ca cause issues with the unlocker, but a simple run of the unlocker 2.31 again can correct it
2 - NFSFAN like other Chefs have ways of moving data/programs around when they cook up these ROMs utilizing whatever kitchen program they personally prefer that being the case how they data/programs get pushed about can create the speediness you now see in your phone by freeing up the RAM for apps and the like and pushing programs off to the side optimizing how the device should have been setup from the start
As for that, Ive been using his ROMs as well as some others for quite some time and have had little to no issues with how he places the progs and data so I wouldnt worry about it
Yeah, Live in Las Vegas now - but Michigan will ALWAYS be home Go Red Wings !!!!

Thanks Doug, for all your information. Your answers were great! Hopefully I wont need too much more help in the future. i'm learning~

Don't mean to go off on a little tangent, but I find this post really helpful and was wondering if you, Doug, or someone else could provide a link to this 2.31 unlocker or whatever it is. Thanks in advance.

Having trouble unlocking my xv6900. I'm using 2.31 unlocker. I have the phone in bootloader mode and when I connect the usb it goes from serial to usb. I run the RUU from the unlockers self extracted folder but it get an error message. I'm pretty positive its just something im not doing correctly. Any help appreciated.
Another thing I noticed the RUU will not detect my current version if I am in bootloder mode. If I run the RUU with active sync on it will detect my current version but when it puts my phone into bootloader mode to update it, it disconnects my active sync connection.

From Detroit_Doug
At the point where it tell you to disconnect, unplug the phone from the USB cable and wait (count to 10 or something) then plug it back in, it should have went from USB to SERIAL and now back to USB at that point go ahead and hit any key on your PC and it should continue along
Maybe wait longer if you can,
I reckon some pc take longer to fully recognize[process] the disconnect and reconnect procedure.
example: disconnect > wait 20-30 seconds > reconnect > wait 20-30 seconds > then continue
I had that same issue and waiting longer during this process helped
.

I can't even get to that point. With active sync on as soon as I start the unlocker RUU it gets the info from my phone and shows the current rom 3.14.605.1 ....I click update and it shows 2.31 unlocker I hit next and then the install status bar comes up on my desktop and my phone goes into bootloader mode and the active sync connection drops and I get the 262 connection error. If I start the RUU with my phone in bootloader usb mode already it does not detect my current rom and I click next. click next to 2.31 unlocker, and it goes through the same steps and I get the same error. Is there anything I have to do to my phone prior to running the RUU. My phone is a verizon xv6900 running wm 6.1 rom 3.14.605.1 with radio 3.37.78

I have the same problem with my new sprint touch. I get error 262 at 0%, did they change something in these new phone that won't allow us to unlock?
Rom is 3.03.651.4
radio 3.42.30

I think I got it, what I did was not to extract the vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe file but to run it. I had activesync set up and connected, then just ran the unlocker, don't extract it. It will shut off activesnyc and put my phone in to the 3 color screen, form there, just follow the directions. Also I didn't have to run the exitbl step as my phone auttomatically exit and restarted.

I ended up having to re-run the .041 unlocker and then the 2.31 unlocker and it ended up working for me. I'm not sure why I had to because I Had the same bootloader info prior to running the 2.31 unlocker in the first place. The 6.5 rom and gps rom has been working flawlessly for a week now, the only thing I had to do was call up VZW (*8889) the guy answered "account investigations" LOL I told him I had to hard reset and my phone wouldn't authenticate and he asked me to call back from another line. I told him that I had no landline and he said thats fine I can override it just call back right away whenever you get to another phone. That was on friday and I have not called back but I've been able to text, make and receive calls so I don't think I will unless I have to.

thank you! i did that and it worked for me.

yeah, it says right in the directions over there to just run the exe it will create a temp folder and run the RUU itself from there
Extracting it and running it will always cause issues
also - Ignore the sleep4.exe or whatever if you encounter it - it is a legacy exe that is called that isnt used anymore, wont affect the unlocking just hit OK through it

ROM Recommendations (see inside)

Hey there,
After lots of problems with my P3300 (see this thread), I've decided to flash it to see if that helps. I'm not too bothered about getting the GSM working again as I have another phone, but I'd like to be able to run all apps again.
So... I'd like some advice please.
What would be the best ROM for me to use if I just want to use the phone as a GPS device, portable wifi web browser and notepad?
Basically something pretty stripped down with as good battery life as possible.
Is there any advantage with going for WM6 over WM5?
Bear in mind I've never done this before and am currently reading up on all of it.
From what I've read so far I'll have to do the CID unlock first (currently have WM5 in french installed and would like an english ROM)? I think it may be unlocked already but am not sure. Is there a way to check? Do I risk anything if I run USPL even though the phone is already unlocked?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

You can check if your phone is CID unlocked if the SPL number which comes up while booting during the big white HTC screen says 1.11.0000. If it says anything other than that then it's not unlocked.
Best stripped rom for me is Sheen's clean base version 3. Check it out, it's on the first page of the thread.

alternatively, if u want fast and stripped, go for yues extraclean (see my signature)
greetz

ferfecir Clean
This is the best clean rom which is a modified version of Yues clean with 30mb free ram.

Thanks for the replies. My SPL says 1.12.0000 so I guess I need to do the CID unlock.
Ferfecir Build 20931 looks like the most promising from those.
Can anyone please point me to a good tutorial for flashing the ROM via activesync? I'd rather not have to format the memory card if I can avoid it and my soft reset button is broken. (I have serached but had no luck)
Thanks!

download uspl from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
and any rom you want...
unpack the uspl
plug the cable in the device and establish a usb connection
run the "start_uspl.exe" be patient...after being prompted to click some "next buttons" follow the procedure...and i mean it...follow the procedure...that with 50% battery,no programs running on the pc,no unplugging the cable and so on...
and you will have the uspl flashed
go to boot loader...The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears.
if uspl says 1.11.000 then you are good to go
now you can flash any rom (cooked for artemis) and any artemis radio (i recommend you the 3.34.90.) onto your artemis
simply download,extract,run the rom update utility (RUU) ,follow the procedure and watch the show...
if you ever get an error during flash or anywhere else in the rom update utility...refer to this page and troubleshoot your troubles http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RUU_Errors
if you get an error saying invalid file size or something like that (you will get it if you try eg this rom..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465291)
go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521406 download the file and flash it if it is an ordinary rom...just run the RUU
afterwards just check it in the bootloader if it says 1.11.cmon it is ok....and you will be able to flash virtually any rom cooked for artemis onto yours

i must be damn crazy to post this thing...because it is all there in the wiki and the forum stickies,believe it or not

Thank you very much for the detailed instructions.
Just two more questions!
My reset button is broken. Can I just turn the phone off and back on to check if I have 1.11.0000 instead of using the bootloader?
And the RUU is this one? http://code.google.com/p/htc-flasher/downloads/list (only file I have for the new Ferfecir ROM is a .nbh, is that all I need?)
Thanks again.

this is a very open-ended question.
Everyone on here will have their own favourite rom....if there was 1 definate fits-all "best" rom ...everyone would be using it..but there isnt and we are all using the rom that suits us best
some people want their phone to be more like an iPod and so the multimedia aspect is a priority along with decent graphics and animated menus
some people want the PDA functionality most so they want a really stripped-down fast rom that is reliable and handles email well
everyone wants to use it their own way....thats why this site exists.
The guys who make these ROMS are the guys who say "this is good, but i want it to be more like THIS."
Follow farukb's (excellent) instructions....unlock your device properly....if you get any problems, search for the answer before asking for help....chances are hundreds of people will have had the same problem and hundreds of people will have already given the answer...and then ....just look around the site. See which roms are available that fit YOUR needs, and flash it....if you dont like it, try another.
I'm trying 6.5 roms at the moment and love it....i've flashed it probably once a week with a new ROM each time a new version is released and have seen the OS evolve....right now i'd say PDhee's Mega 6.5 M2D rom is the best of the bunch providing you're not planning on installing LOTS of exra programs.
that's the beauty of these things, if you dont like the ROM, just try another. Sometimes the ROM won't work quite right (especially if flashing ROMs between different cooks) so just try flashing it again to make sure it resets everythin correctly. If it's still not right, try a different ROM.

yeah, unfortunately (and it seems to have increased over the last year or so) nost people on here are noobs who can't be bothered to read through some threads or use the search and we just get the same questions asked constantly.
I dont minds helping people....providing they've looked for the answer themselves first.
every time a new rom is released there will be people asking what error 260 or 270 means?, do they need to USPL? etc etc
it's easier to ask someone else to take time out of their day to aswer your question than just type "error 260" into the search box and find out for yourself. They dont consider that people are having to answer these questions 10 times a week, in their own time, for no thanks, just to have the same question asked the next day. Purely becuase they couldn't be bothered to see if anyone else has asked that question before.
sorry...rant over....i love you all

no
you need to use the reset button (stick the stylus in the reset hole) .
Reset is like turning your computer off and on again
Power button is like turning the monitor off....it doesnt stop programs running and it doesnt properly reboot the device.
Your only alternative is taking the batter out i think (just like pulling the plug out will also reboot your computer).
If you havent already run USPL, then you probably WILL need to do it.
i dont know the specific ROM you're talking about, but just an NBH file will NOT work. You need the EXE file to run it.
Just download any suitable ROM off this site and it will have the whole package....if you're downloading from another site you'll have to ak that other site for help

my reset button doesn't work. i took the phone apart to change the touchscreen and must have misaligned something when putting it back together. sticking the stylus in the hole doesn't do anything anymore. will take the battery out instead, thanks.
regarding the rom, it is one i downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531972&highlight=ferfecir
the rar file downloaded from 4share (http://www.4shared.com/file/112067347/72728603/ARTEIMG-Ferfecir_-_20931_en_gncel_hali.html) only contains the nbh, no exe.
and for the record, i've spent all afternoon/evening researching this, searching this forum and the wiki etc! i appreciate it's annoying answering the same noob questions over and over again but i thought my thread was specific enough to warrant it and am grateful for all the replies.

...yeah, and if you read ferfercirs description fully, you will come past "sd-card-flashing" which is the way to flash the *.nbh -part of your rom in a way without needing an activesync connecton
greetz

i did read that bit
but as mentioned a couple of times in this thread already, my reset button is not operational so i cannot use bootloader (afaik). so i assumed there was another way.
but i guess i'll find a rom that comes an an exe and save myself some trouble

no need to keep searching,
u can simple take the provided *.nbh file that came without an exe, rename it to ruu_signed.nbh, exchange the existing RUU from a complete installer-routine and off u go, provided u have used uspl first
greetz

ok thank you once again, i'll try it tonight.
one final question! do i need to have a sim card inserted while running USPL or does it not matter?

It is recommended to remove both your SIM card and your MicroSD card during any type of flashing, whether it be USPL or ROM. Even my reset button is not working anymore, my phone got dropped in water and I had to give it for repairs. After motherboard change they assembled it slightly wrong I guess, and it doesn't work. But I can still get into bootloader by just pressing the Voice record and power buttons together for 10 seconds. Try that.
Secondly, I hate to be plugging myself here, but I have just cooked a clean 6.1 ROM myself, with the latest build of 6.1 that is 21054. you might want to check that out, it comes with the full package and not just the nbh
here it is - (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551728)
Again, sorry, but Im giving you an option thats all

ok i need help again sorry! i tried this but i got an error after 5% saying the .nbh was an invalid size
i used the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Arte_WM65_23009_M2D_Mega_beta1 ROM (i removed Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh from the folder and replaced it with Ferfecir's .nbh which I had renamed to ruu_signed.nbh)
What did I do wrong?
I ended up flashing with Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh and it worked great but that ROM is too much for me and I want Ferfecir's simpler one.

You need to flash the newer USPL which allows nbh files of a smaller size to be flashed.

thanks! it worked. everything working perfectly and my gsm works again too. woohoo.

I can’t delete apps and I can’t reset my phone

For Gizmoe first time post, thanks for your info I found it with a google search, I was trying to follow your suggestion to FiFa_JockeR, but HTC does not have my phone on their web site. Can you please try to help me reset my phone somehow?
I have a HTC Incredible (ADR6300) and I just want to start over with this phone. Verizon stores no help, HTC customer service no help. They try to do what I’ve done already, “a factory reset”. But it just does not reset! with or without the SD card. This all started with the force closes on a few apps. Then I thought I would delete allot of apps just for the heck of it, then I ran into another problem. I can delete an app(s) while the phone is on but when the phone is rebooted or turned off then on again the deleted app(s) reappears. So I can’t delete apps and I can’t reset my phone. It’s exactly the same as FiFa_JockeR (just like the pictures) only we have different phones from HTC. PS phone has never been rooted.

The incredible (ADR6300) is on the www.htcdev.com/bootloader unlocker site, under HTC Droid Incredible *. Best bet is to unlock and flash a recovery, then from recovery do a full wipe. That is if it lets you, i have a feeling you will get errors formating both /data and /cache. If so its pretty much unfixable. There is a mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175346, that will mount /data and /cache to seperate partitions on your sdcard. This makes the phone a little slower, especially booting. But a slow phone is better than no phone, if you cant get a new one. If you need any help just post back.

Does this mean I'm rooting my phone?

At the bottom of the ruu update page there should be a proceed / continue button. Click on that and it should move on to having you get an identifier code from your phone, to send to htc.

It seems that htc has removed the ruu bootloader update part of the unlock process. Probably because the latest ota should make everyone have an unlockable hboot already. So just do all the steps 1 - 10.
You are not flashing a rom, at least not yet. A rom is basicly an opperating system like windows.
Right now you are getting an identifier token from your phone which you submit to htc in step 10. They will email you back another code with instructions, which you will enter into the phone using hboot and a cmd prompt on your pc.
Just follow all those steps on htcdev and then we will go from there. In your spare time you should read up on rooting and roms and custom recoveries, so that you have some clue of how your phones going to work once were done.

Well here I am at HTCdev trying to do step 1, I Select my Device and click Begin Unlock Bootloader. Then I get this dialog box, “Do you wish to continue?” I click yes and nothing happens, I wait, and wait, then click no and it responds by going back to the prior page where you select your device. So I tried selecting other devices and none of them work, sounds like a problem on their site. So I’m at a stand still maybe you can try it and see if step 1 will work for you? by the way I only see 5 steps,like the Attached Thumbnail I uploaded in post #3. also must be a common problem for htcdev just google htcdev and see the results of autocomplete (Thumbnail).
Update 4/29/13: I think I found the 10 steps, checkout this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyRxI15CUnA
This is what i'm trying to do right?,he recommends getting SDK tools too, is this what I should do? In taking your advice to read up on... I googled "rooting and roms and custom recoveries" that's how I found the video.
Unfortunately I still get the same result at the HTCdev site, can you please see if you have the same issue I do at the HTCdev site?
Thanks

Update to my last post. had to use a different email account in order to receive the unlock bootloader key file.
so now I have it, now and I think I need driver(s) because when the phone is in hboot and I plug it in to the computer via usb cable, the task bar shows Installing device driver software, but a couple of seconds later shows Device driver software was not successfully installed. Tried goggling around and found this http://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/171178-64-bit-android-usb-drivers.html
I also have a Windows 7 64-bit system and not sure how to extract them out of the SDK Manager.

Download this http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.5.0.0/recovery.img to your pc and place it in the same folder as fastboot.exe and the unlock_code.bin. Put the phone in fastboot mode. Open a cmd prompt in your pc and type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should now have twrp recovery installed. To get to it pull the battery, reinsert, and then hold vol down and power untill hboot comes up. Then navigate to recovery and select it. Once in recovery select wipe and then advanced and select everything except sdcard and emmc, then swipe the bar to start the wipe. We will go from there depending on what happens.

Well it looks like everything wiped ok, your partitions are probably fine. So you can just flash a rom of your choosing. Check out the dev section, there are tons of roms there including stock rooted roms if you want to keep the original feel.

Should I install SuperSU?

Blu Advance 4.0 L A010U ROMs

Hey guys,
I really need to find at least the stock ROM for the new-ish Blu Advance 4.0L (model A010U), because the most recent OTA update unforgivingly bricked mine. Now I want to try to re-flash the stock ROM, but I am also open to custom ROMs, if there are any available. Please help me out! Thanks in advance

I am really surprised no one has replied yet, but again I am facing the same problem and I've been searching the Internet for one month now and I found absolutely nothing for this phone (specifically for version A010U).
So I am going to post a different question in the hopes that someone will read it and help us out:
I have two Blu Advance 4.0 L A010U phones, which are identical except for the color (white and green). They were manufactured a month apart one in 10/2015 and one in 9/2015.
Unfortunately after only a couple of months of light use and for no apparent reason (did not drop it, or wet it, etc) it started going through a boot loop. It will start, show the "bold like us" logo then restart again without making it to the operating system at all. Like I said I've been looking for over a month to find a ROM (stock or modded) to reflash but with no luck. Then I had an idea. Since I have the other identical phone that's working fine, is there a trick I can do using the working phone to create a ROM that I can use in my broken one. By the way, the non working phone will allow me to get into the recovery menu, but unfortunately nothing happens if I wipe the cache or even if I reset to factory defaults.
Anyone knows what's causing that "boot loop", how to fix it and where to find a ROM or even "extract" or "create" one using a working Advance 4.0 L ???
Thank you very much!

Man I wish I knew. I'm kinda a novice. I have the same phone with a similar problem... I downloaded the recent ota update and the first time it said it couldn't unzip it. I tried again and it seemed to work but when it rebooted into recovery it said there was an error... So it won't boot up, it just goes to the screen that says "no command". I'm pretty sure the there's a way to make a copy of the working ROM but since I don't use a PC for anything I've never taken the time to learn the method.

I just got ahold of a couple of these devices myself and am in the process of going through all the in's and out's of them....I'm a Samsung nerd so I haven't messed with something like these in a while but I got one (that was supposedly dead bricked per the lady friend of mine I got them from) at least able to boot into factory mode and recovery via ADB and just as I'm posting this I'm in adb shell going through the device's internal memory.....so we'll see what all I find and can pull out of this one and possibly know enough to post an intelligible reply with solutions next time
The boot looping sounds like a common problem with these and when I get to that point I'm going to get rid of the stock bootanimation.zip ASAP and try something else. I get the idea that these things aren't exactly power houses built for much so the littlest thing or small bug in their coding could lead to this kind of crap happening.
Hopefully you figure yours out before I toss these out the window! lol
Cheers y salud!

Forgot to add a couple things about your post, sorry! I beleive (and I just started digging into this phone) that the no command part is the locked bootloader these phones appear to have. I think it was a combo of holding both volume buttons down from a powered off state then pressing power button on that came up with the option for factory mode or recovery (which led to the sad 'no command' droid), i went into factory mode and theres an option for Tp Upgrade which Im assuming is F/W or something similar but I just hooked up to the PC and in that mode it's reading the internal and external memory of the phone and that's about where I'm at so far.

Wow! I'm surprised this thread is still going.
Anywho, I found a repository that is storing the default ROM for the 4.0L. The files were just added recently. I would have liked to have seen a custom Lollipop ROM made by now, but this device is far too irrelevant to get any attention, unfortunately. Just root and forget, I guess.

I can't wait to try it, thank you! And btw, were you able to get root successfully and if so, how?

Hey Deuler93 -
You have my respect for digging out that BLU ROMs link and sharing with the rest of us. I downloaded the one for my Advance and used SP flash tool to flash the phone that was stuck on a boot-loop. Of course first I had to download and install the MediaTeK drivers for USB connectivity with my PC. Everything worked flawlessly, no glitches what so ever. All these links are easily found and widely available online if anyone is interested I can share here too. I just hope that this boot-loop was due to some software glitch and not hardware failure. Everything seems to work fine for now, keepint my fingers crossed it will NOT happen again.
Well, one less headache to worry about. By the way we're not that far, if you're ever in the Chicago area, I owe you a beer or something. Thank you!

Hi guys !
Thank you very much for the Advance 4.0L Roms.
I have successfuly recovered my phone, but the IMEI got lost.
So, I need to root it in order to recover the IMEI, but I just can´t get success on any method :
Kingroot
Framaroot
Towelroot
is there another way to root it ?
Thank you very much.

I got temporary root using the kingroot apk. But it messed things up and I don't trust it anymore. None of the other mentioned methods worked for me either, maybe try the PC kingroot method

well this helps one thing

umm. . . when the no command option comes up just press the power button and the rest of options will appear. doesnt exactly solve your problem however unless you have the ZIP file to install, which is what I'm looking for.

What might happen if a ROM is used for another blu phone. ??
A similar phone as well.
Plz advise.

Damn! This thread just keeps going!
I haven't even looked here in a while, so I will bunch my commentary here. I'm also salaried now, so I bought into a OnePlus X (onyx), a more expensive cheapo device, so I do not use the 4.0L anymore.
As for rooting tools, I used the Kingroot APK successfully in the stock environment. I never tried flashing something SuperSU myself, but it could work. Is flashing a SU app possible from the fastboot interface?
And to Steve's question - it is technically possible to flash a ROM for a different device onto your own device, but is considered a bad idea due to the possibility of introducing incompatibilities and missing proprietary requirements. I feel like this would hold especially true to stock ROMs because the manufacturer probably has no interest in supporting anything more than the device that they are manufacturing for. Doing so removes many possible "compatibility" issues from even having to be considered, but I digress. In short, try to find a ROM made for your device and your device only.

Did you find the zip file for the recovery

You dont need root to recover imei all you have to do is type *#*#84666364#*#* in your dialer and you will be entered in EngineerMode then go into connectivity ,CDS information and radio information phone 1 or 2 then you will see AT+ type something eg.A then backspace and select the first thing you see. Put a space after AT+ and then put you imei code here "IMEI" between these "" You can find your imei by removing your battery it willl be there. After sending command reboot and imei is back.

links are down....check this instead
Hey guys, links here seems to be down .
Maybe this link would be useful for you all... stock firmware can be downloaded and useful help on videos is available too... Enjoy
