Hi Guys,
Used the ROM Toolbox to change my boot animation several times successfully (over numerous months). Last change, on the next reboot, I get the Google splash screen, then black. The phone actually boots fine, but you can't properly wake the screen any more. Nothing appears to happen, until you press the power button again, and then you see the screen-off animation very briefly (old style TV turning off) then black again.
Clearing cache/dalvik/etc in CWM recovery doesn't do anything.
Fastboot and recovery work fine. Problem is you can't do anything about the bootanimation.zip in CWM Recovery and there isn't much you can do in fastboot either. Plus my ADB debugging wasn't turned on and you can't easily do this without the screen so I can't modify files. Its definitely the boot animation that caused it though.
I fixed it when I searched for a recovery that allows file management - TWRP http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
Used fastboot to flash this to the recovery partition ( sudo ./fastboot flash recovery ../../Downloads/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-maguro.img )
Then booted into that recovery. The file is in /system/media but don't forget you have to mount the system partition in the recovery rom before you can see anything under /system.
For me the old bootanimation.zip.old was there so I renamed the current to .bak and then the .old back to .zip
Reboot all good. In case this helps anyone!
Thanks!
Just now this happened to me and was able to reboot into TWRP2 but did not know how I would rename bootanimation, simples: mount system and use recovery file manager under advanced.
Did not know bootanimation could do such a halt in phone boot.
Hi all,
First of all be carefull, Nobody will be responsible for bricking your device but yourself.
I compiled twrp 3.0 for blu advance 4.0 l2 (A030U) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bw48RaTkRMm_eTRXVk84aWJTUjA here the sources https://github.com/contrerasojuanc/device_blu_advance_l2_A030U, thanks to @Dees_Troy and its guide on https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943625. So, in order to install it on this device, we will need to unlock bootloader (Factory reset needed), and flash TWRP recovery on recovery partition.
Settings -> About device -> Compilation number click multiple times to get new developer options menu.
Enable Unlock OEM.
On terminal:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
On terminal:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
On terminal:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp_a030u.img
On terminal:
Code:
fastboot reboot
(Immediately press and hold Volumen + on device until custome recovery shows up.)
In order to achieve root on this device, we need to install from TWRP a Supersu system-mode, available thanks to @mauam, it can be get at https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120 (I used SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SYSTEMMODE.zip).
Note that maybe /system need to be mounted as writeable, so first mount System and then, on TRWP's terminal:
Code:
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system
Hope, it can be useful somehow. Any questions, please let me know.
I did everything right but I can not get root
Could you give more detail on how you installed supersu in system mode? I used the command mount -o remount,rw /system (replacing /system with the actual system folder path I found using the mount command in twrp temrinal) BUT discovered system remained read-only and everywhere I searched says you need to have root access to mount it as re-writeable.
I installed the zip you used anyways but am now stuck at the BLU logo screen. What should I do now?

The command I used for get writable /system was
Code:
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system
exactly that one, remember that if you are in TWRP you have root access in recovery partition, so /system can be set as writeable from there. Probably you need to flash recovery and system partition again. I have those partitions from my stock device, let me know if want to give it a try.
Did you type any commands before that? I get the error "sh: /system/bin/mount: not found".
It would be great if you could link the stock partitions.

No command before, this is what I did:
1. In TWRP tap Mount menu, then check "Mount system partition read-only" then check "System", then middle bottom button (Home). (So now we have /system partition mount but as RO)
2. Tap Advance menu, Terminal and type
Code:
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system
3. Now if all goes alright, we should have /system writeable.
4. With /system writeable, tap on Install menu, select the Supersu file (Only this worked for me SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SYSTEMMODE.zip).
5. Deviced rooted.
Ok, I'll try to upload the partitions tonight, while you could search the rom in web.

Yes, what you describe is exactly what I did on a previously stock device, but with the same issue on terminal I posted before. After ignoring that, and sideloading the supersu .zip you used, the device gets stuck on the second BLU logo screen on boot, no hope getting back to system. Hopefully it works the second time around with stock partitions...

Hi, the only way I know would be to flash stock partitions of that device. If you manage to find them in the web, I could tell you how to flash it.

thank you for your attention, I'm already trying your recommend, but no success yet. I have the stock, sp-flash and drivers (for win). I think it is any problem with drivers or sp-flash (v5.1712)...
Not working
Hi, I have a BLU Advance 4.0 L2 (A030U) and the TWRP doesn't work in my phone, it boots but the touchscreen isn't working, any suggestion?
UPDATE: I was booting twrp from fastboot because I wasn't able to flash it like is explained here, I think that is why my touchscreen wasn't working, anyways I managed to flash it through SP Flash Tools and It worked but now the root doesn't work, it softbrick the phone everytime I try, I'm able to mount system and all that stuff, everything is successfull but the phone does not boot.
Thank you
.It successfully helped root my Advance 4.0 L 2 A030L in yesterday.
I bad English.
I tried flash superuser.zip(superuser.phh.me_2016-09-23), Magisk-v14.0.zip, SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SYSTEMMODE.zip, they could root my A030L(stock-V05_GENERIC）
if not fastboot reboot"(Immediately press and hold Volumen + on device until custome recovery shows up.)" , devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot.
Other unimportant: Recovery in A030L also need remount / system, there is not read SDcard (update.zip can be imported in TWRP or OS to internal storage),can't backup userdate.can't input password to read userdate after Encrypted.

SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SYSTEMMODE.zip looks not work...try next time

SuperSU. ---- Both of these are need: SuperSU-v2.76(or2..79).zip and SuperSU-v2.76(or2.79)-SYSTEMMODE.zip

Ver-V05 can root both ok. Ver-V12 look like something wrong in boot.img,it can only root by Magisk. Maybe you should flash boot.img from ver-V05 if you want use V12.
i have a030u v12 rom. v5generic not work, after install result crash bootlogo loop same make option format... recovery not work! same press up button! after all process not enter in twrp. i test magisk not work customize boot.img flash to sp flash result crash boot! mtk droid not detect my phone too please help me.... very hard root this device!
