Words of wisdom ... or warning!
By following this guide, you are agreeing that neither I nor anyone else apart from yourself is responsible for any damage, loss of earnings, fire, theft, the milk not being delivered or bricking your device - you are doing the modding so you are to blame if anything goes wrong!
I will credit the original authors of all the files I have included in my guide as best as I can, if I have missed you out then I do apologise.
With thanks to: kennethpenn, SamCripp, Stevendeb25, eval-, Edgan, Mossys, papy-polo, the2dcour, plus anyone that I have missed.
Note: I have linked file downloads from the guides I used when I rooted, unlocked and flashed my device. I will included a link to the thread so if the links are broken then you should look in the threads for updated links - also just let me know and I'll try to fix them.
Right on with the guide...
Rooting:
Downloads:
- Atrix drivers - Download: 32-bit | 64-bit
- Gingerbreak - Download
Instructions:
1. Install drivers
2. Run gingerbreak.exe
3. Give the phone a minute or two and then open the app drawer to find "Gingerbreak"
4. Run gingerbreak from your phone
5. Click 'root now'
6. Wait for your phone to reboot
Whayy! Your now rooted - If all went well.
Tegrapart?.. You need this to flash the correct boot.img later on.
Downloads:
Terminal emulator - Download from market
Instructions:
1. Download and run 'Terminal emulator'
2. Enter:
Code:
su
- you may be prompted to by SuperUser, press remember and then press 'Allow'
3. Now enter:
Code:
cat /proc/cmdline
4.a. That command will return quite a large string of text, scan through it untill you find something that starts something like this: 'tegrapart=mbr:'
4.b. If you see tegrapart=mbr:d00:100:800,kpanic:2100:400:800: then just remember that your device is d00
4.c. If you see tegrapart=mbr:1100:100:800,kpanic:2500:400:800: then you need to remember that your device is 1100
Unlocking the bootloader:
Downloads:
- RSD Lite 5.3.1 - Download - Thread

10. Press the 'Start' Button
11. Be paitient while the phone reboots as it may take a loooong time
12. Once the phone has rebooted, open a command prompt window
13. Type in CD followed by a space and then the directory where you extracted the fastboot package - I will use C:\Fastboot\ in my example so I would type
Code:
CD C:\Fastboot\

20. You will see a warning along with a unique device ID
21. Type in the following commands but use your unique device ID in place of the '#####'
Code:
fastboot oem unlock #####
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
22. Now wait for your device to boot, whilst booting you should see 'Unlocked' on the boot screenFlashing 2.3.4 (Orange FR):

1. Turn off your phone and unplug it from the usb port if it is connected
2. Boot into fastboot mode by holding volume down and the power button untill you see 'Fastboot' on screen.
3. When you see fastboot, press volume up.
4. Open a command prompt and CD to the directory you placed your moto-fastboot package, I would enter:
Code:
CD C:\motofastboot
5. Now enter:
Code:
moto-fastboot flash system ORFR234-system.img
6. Once complete, enter:
Code:
moto-fastboot flash webtop webtop.img
7. And finally enter either:
Code:

Depending on your Tegrapart number.
8. Turn off your phone, boot it back up and you should now be rocking Orange 2.3.4 GingerBread.
briliant guide mate! could you add some kernels and roms thats working with UK's atrix
Cheers
Thanks, this is exactly what I needed in terms of clear, complete information all in one thread.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm new to the Atrix and there's so much info all over the place my head is already spinning! I'm on UK T-mobile, I assume the unlocking and rooting part is still the same, but should I still flash the Orange file or would this mess up my phone? All I really want to do is root/unlock so I can flash a custom rom.
Many thanks.

No, it won't. In fact, even Orange FR and Orange UK are as different as AT&T and T-Mobile UK. Also, ALL AT&T ROMS WORK! All you need to do is to flash faux123's kernel over the top of the ROM, just to get back your RAM. Even if you don't flash the kernel, you will not brick, just have the limited RAM issue.
Finally, most of us should be on the N_01.95.00R radio. What speeds and battery life do you get out of this on Orange UK?
It seems I have been capped to 1.9mbps

Thanks for replying...I think I understand what you're saying.
However, I'm on T-mobile UK not Orange. I only ever use wifi for data so not sure about speed, but battery life seems to be just over a day although I've only had the phone a few days so far. Just trying to make sense of it all .
I wish there was one definitive thread on what you need to do to get the phone to a point where you can flash a custom rom. Don't get me wrong, I'm not lazy and don't mind reading up and researching, I'm just really confused at the moment about whether I need to follow the pudding thread and flash sbf files (it says to put Pudding on the phone, whatever that is) or use Gingerbreak or SuperOneClick, and how to get cwm recovery on the phone.
....more reading up is in order I guess, until it all sinks in
Anyone know why it's stuck on the boot screen with this? I even SBF'd back to stock Orange 2.2.2 before hand. I also fastboot -w it. Is there nothing you can just flash for this?
this is what i get when trying to flash???

ok then, the link supplied for moto-fastboot is incorrect - found in the instruction link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138092 - the guide also needs to add to press the up arrow to transfer the images. moto-fastboot.exe is not included in the original link.
I assume the initial link is for linux.
Nope that's what I used on windows 7 x64 mate, and I didnt have to press up to transfer the images either :S
I had no problem with the moto-fastboot, but it does just get stuck on the loading screen with unlocked.
When I run Gingerbreak, nothing happens?
EDIT: Fixed.

another quick question. Will the data on my internal storage be somewhat erased by following these steps???
edit: found out... yes it does, yes it does. haha. lost all my application data! oh well.
Hi,
followed all the steps on unlocking the bootloader and all went well, expect now it appears stuck on rsd saying executed 100%, but 'please manually reboot power up this phone'. Oddly though the phone is already on, what should I do?
Hi ive rooted and unlocked the bootloader and was following the guide to a T...
on the part of flashing 2.3.4 ORANGE i downloaded all the relevant files and placed them the motofastboot folder. it says to then turn the phone off and boot into fast mode which i have done. and then pressed volume up and now states tarting Fastboot protocol support
I then connect the phone to the computer and started step 5. and it says its not recognised as an internal or external command....etc etc! what am i doing wrong? i tried to put cd before the command prompt and it just says system can not find the path??? but i have everything in the correct place? help plssss
Have you put renamed the motofastbootx86 or x64 to just motobootfastboot and then your commands will work. Hope that helps
Am desperate to get Gingerbread installed on my Atrix I have followed all the above steps carefully (atleast I think I have) but when I get to the stage of flashing at the cmd prompt I get:
The program can't start because adbWinApi.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
What am I doing wrong ??? Thanks in advance
---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------
Roberts56 I had that problem at 1st and founf that the motofastboot file is corrupt, I did a search and downloaded it from elsewhere and it all worked fine.
Well it did untill I got my error message above ;-(
Here is the working version with the dll files that I was missing, hope this helps.
Sorted me out in the end and I have to say it has given my Atrix a new lease of life.
Am well impressed
Motorola Razr V XT885 ICS 4.0.4 Stock Reinstall
Network: Virgin Mobile (Unlocked SIM, LOCKED bootloader)
It took me forever to figure this out and there is not much information on it so I decided to post what worked for me.
WARNING this is a clean install, it WILL wipe your phones internal memory. Your external will be left untouched. It is not needed for this so you can remove now to be safe if you want.
1. Download Motorola device manager and install it. Plug in your phone. Right click on the icon (in the system tray) and click check for updates. Let it do its thing. This will
install the necessary usb drivers for the phone (and maybe an update but mine didn't).
https://d1tsx1og7dz7v4.cloudfront.net/MotorolaDeviceManager_2.3.9.exe
2. Download and install RSD Lite on pc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348587
3. Download the stock firmware for your phone. My phone is Virgin so the Bell Canada one is what I used. I have NOT tested any others.
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_yangtze/list.php
4. Extract the firmware to a folder.
5. Now you need to open the xml file in the folder you just
extracted (open the xml with notepad) and delete two lines of code from it. If you don't do this RSD lite will not flash the firmware (this was my major problem). It will throw an error that says unknown fastboot command oem.
delete these two chunks of text:
"<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_set"/>"
AND
"<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_clear"/>"
6. Save the xml file.
7. Open RSD Lite.
8. Browse to the extracted firmware folder and select the xml file.
9. Make sure your phone is off. Now hold the Vol. down button, and hit the power button for one second then release the power button. This should put you in fastboot mode. (white text on black screen).
10. Plug the USB cord into the phone.
11. Once RSD recognizes your phone it will say connected. The Motorola drivers have to be installed for RSD to see it.
12. Hit the start button in RSD and let it flash the firmware. When it is completely done it will say PASS.
BE PATIENT AND LET IT FLASH AND DO ITS REBOOT CYCLE.
13. The phone will reboot a bunch of times just let it go.
14. Now your Razr V XT885 will have a stock install of
kernel: 3.08-g5f63356
android: 4.0.4
system version: 673.135.80.xt885.BellMobility.en.CA
When your done root the phone. If you had root before this it will be gone.
Root using this.

You need to flash again the stock rom, the factory reset won't work.
You can found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51090040&postcount=2 and flashing through fastboot
I don't know what frameworks-res.apk you used, but maybe you forgot set the right permissions, or maybe you took the files for other device.
DL VN 7
Is there some tutorial for flash with fastboot??, i never did it, and i don't want destroy some other..
Go here to Dell's opensource site.. http://opensource.dell.com/releases/...loper-edition/

sorry for the late reply.
In the dell's opensource page there aren't files for the 3730 (i don't know why)
but, may be i'm wrong, there aren't tutorials for flashing in fastboot, i only found posts in xda's dell venue general forum.
i'll write here a guide if you still without founding a tutorial and for any others if found this post
you need:
intel usb drivershttps://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices , read the instruccions if you are in windows 8 (i'm on win7 so i cannot tell you if is the same method or not)
The tools for fastboot (there are in a folder called "google") is a little confused so better download @social-design-concepts miKIT_BATCH HERE (before continue let's say thanks to @social-design-concepts for his useful tool that also works for root ),extract wherever you want in your computer.
the files to flash HEREdownload the package for your device and once donwloaded extract where you want in your computer
NOW FOR FLASH
1.-
Install the intel android usb drivers, if you did this before, skip
2.-
Open the myKIT_BATCH folder and run the "runme.bat" file, then type ACCEPT, after that type 2 and press "enter" (the option 1 is for update the driver, in myKIT_BATCH's post 1 is explained) the font should be red.
3.-
boot into fastboot (press button "power" and button "volume down" at the same time) your tablet's screen will display a blue android with gears inside and below it the "droidboot" text and your device info in your device's top|left screen corner , if yes connect your tablet to pc to recognize it (if is the first time).
4.- Open a command window
after the pc recognizes your tablet unplug and plug again the usb cable, should be faster the recognicion this time.
Then in myKIT_BATCH window press "enter" to refresh, the font will become green and will display your device's info, if is going fine in the window type 4 and press "enter", will appear another window.
IF everything still going fine in the new command window type:
Code:
fastboot devices
will display your device's info
5.- let's start with fastboot
BUT first ENSURE THAT THE BATTERY HAVE A CONSIDERABLE CHARGED LEVEL
Unfortunately i don't know what happens if the tablet power off when flashing and if fastboot will work fine after so check your battery charge first
i need to tell you that the 1-4 steps are the most difficult steps (you should have at this time the rom downloaded and extracted only extract the downloaded package (the .7z file)
after this explained so let's start.
5.1.- WIPING
fastboot have some wipe commands so i will explain the 2 that i used:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
This code explains itself, you can try this code to verify that your device is connected
Code:
fastboot erase data
easy to use but powerful, this will erase app's data and also your internal storage (the 11GB that the tablet have to store files), unfortunately i used this without know and i lost 8GB of files
5.2.- NOW TO FLASH
works almost equal with the wipping commands so it's easy to explain.
let's start with system
for a easy explain you ned to open a window where the rom's files are stored in your pc and in the command shell type "fastboot flash system" and after that drag the system file (system.img.tar.gz) to the command window after dragging the file will appear in the command window the full path of the file
I.E i have a dell venue 8 3830 and i want to flash the jellybean 4.2.2 stock rom so i downloaded the Venue_8_WiFi_JB4.2.2v1.42_FLASHPKG and extract this in F:\VENUE 8 3830\stock rom folder so after type the command and drag and drop the system file in my command window will display this:
Code:
fastboot flash system F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.system.img.gz
after this the command press "enter" and you don't need to do nothing (maybe your window will turn off and maybe you try to turn on but will keep off, don't worry only let fininsh) the fastboot program will start to prepare the file for upload to the tablet and after that to flash.
this will finish in 1-2 minutes.
NOW THE BOOT.IMG
is the same way than system but faster.
after finishing flashing system (when the window diplays the elapsed time) type: "fastboot flash boot" and drag and drop the boot.img file in the command window
I.E. in my device will be like this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.boot.img
press "enter" and will do the same like system prepare,upload and flash the file.
there are in the download package more file but only with BOOT and SYSTEM flashed your tab should boot
but if you want to flash the other images you need to type
for recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.recovery.img
and for fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.fastboot.img
for my example, for you will be change a little
thanks to all who read and understand this guide, bad english

The tools for fastboot (there are in a folder called "google") is a little confused so better download @social-design-concepts miKIT_BATCH HERE (before continue let's say thanks to @social-design-concepts for his useful tool that also works for root ),extract wherever you want in your computer.
the files to flash HEREdownload the package for your device and once donwloaded extract where you want in your computer
NOW FOR FLASH
1.-
Install the intel android usb drivers, if you did this before, skip
2.-
Open the myKIT_BATCH folder and run the "runme.bat" file, then type ACCEPT, after that type 2 and press "enter" (the option 1 is for update the driver, in myKIT_BATCH's post 1 is explained) the font should be red.
3.-
boot into fastboot (press button "power" and button "volume down" at the same time) your tablet's screen will display a blue android with gears inside and below it the "droidboot" text and your device info in your device's top|left screen corner , if yes connect your tablet to pc to recognize it (if is the first time).
4.- Open a command window
after the pc recognizes your tablet unplug and plug again the usb cable, should be faster the recognicion this time.
Then in myKIT_BATCH window press "enter" to refresh, the font will become green and will display your device's info, if is going fine in the window type 4 and press "enter", will appear another window.
IF everything still going fine in the new command window type:
Code:
fastboot devices
will display your device's info
5.- let's start with fastboot
BUT first ENSURE THAT THE BATTERY HAVE A CONSIDERABLE CHARGED LEVEL
Unfortunately i don't know what happens if the tablet power off when flashing and if fastboot will work fine after so check your battery charge first
i need to tell you that the 1-4 steps are the most difficult steps (you should have at this time the rom downloaded and extracted only extract the downloaded package (the .7z file)
after this explained so let's start.
5.1.- WIPING
fastboot have some wipe commands so i will explain the 2 that i used:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
This code explains itself, you can try this code to verify that your device is connected
Code:
fastboot erase data
easy to use but powerful, this will erase app's data and also your internal storage (the 11GB that the tablet have to store files), unfortunately i used this without know and i lost 8GB of files
5.2.- NOW TO FLASH
works almost equal with the wipping commands so it's easy to explain.
let's start with system
for a easy explain you ned to open a window where the rom's files are stored in your pc and in the command shell type "fastboot flash system" and after that drag the system file (system.img.tar.gz) to the command window after dragging the file will appear in the command window the full path of the file
I.E i have a dell venue 8 3830 and i want to flash the jellybean 4.2.2 stock rom so i downloaded the Venue_8_WiFi_JB4.2.2v1.42_FLASHPKG and extract this in F:\VENUE 8 3830\stock rom folder so after type the command and drag and drop the system file in my command window will display this:
Code:
fastboot flash system F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.system.img.gz
after this the command press "enter" and you don't need to do nothing (maybe your window will turn off and maybe you try to turn on but will keep off, don't worry only let fininsh) the fastboot program will start to prepare the file for upload to the tablet and after that to flash.
this will finish in 1-2 minutes.
NOW THE BOOT.IMG
is the same way than system but faster.
after finishing flashing system (when the window diplays the elapsed time) type: "fastboot flash boot" and drag and drop the boot.img file in the command window
I.E. in my device will be like this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.boot.img
press "enter" and will do the same like system prepare,upload and flash the file.
there are in the download package more file but only with BOOT and SYSTEM flashed your tab should boot
but if you want to flash the other images you need to type
for recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.recovery.img
and for fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.fastboot.img
for my example, for you will be change a little

unfortunately i don't have a computer with windows 10 so i can't solve easily.
i found this googling, so with a little of faith :fingers-crossed: , is the same error than yours http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/118823/how-to-install-adb-drivers-on-windows-10-opoit's for the OPO, but is about the same "intalling adb driver", so could work
in a dessesperate attempt, you can use the update usb drivers in "myKit_BATCH" typing "1" after typyng "ACCEPT"
I fixed it with 15 seconds installer!, i gng try to fix tablet
But i found next problem, after connect tab to PC, just UNKNOWN, and tab is not showing in mykit

Ahh that's add driver not recognize your tablet, I suppose that you connect in fastboot mode,
Try using the option of update the adb driver in Mykit_BATCH, you don't lose nothing trying.
Other option is trying the dell's method http://opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_8_3830_CloverTrail_plus/developer-edition/Download the pdf file and read the instructions from page 2 to page 9 if still not working
here is the sdk tools for windows that the pdf wants
I downloaded SDK tools, i installed Google usb driver, because it say not installed, when it was installing it said: Disable adb driver, ineffectual, error code -1, but after install it work good, so i will test with this, when no i will try another way, that u wrote here
Finally, tried method, no work, finally, update ADB no working for me, cuz installation always fail, next one DELL method, working but i found problem, dell wrote update driver via google extra with codes, BUT
My first code: USB\VID_413C&PID_B119&REV_????, ????, i think there is something wrong
My second code: USB\VID_413C&PID_B119, i think this one is alright, but then up
Finally with dell next page i'm in!, but my kit no working, in every command shut down, so i using windows cmd, it working too
Mhm bruh, no i'm in flash system, sending 'system' awesome, but it's more than 2 minutes , when it will work, omg u r awesome
Bruh, yay, i did it, thq u r master <33

Are you telling that the dell method works?
The good new is that your tablet is back (with some problems in the way but work, ). after all now you know how to flash through fastboot. If anyelse goes wrong again, you know what to do
NOTE: Maybe your want to replace the framework-res again, but only will work if is for your device. So i recomend that you modify your stock framework-res by yourself (you can use images or xmls from other sources to your framework-res, this should be safer) using apktool manually or a program (there are some of them in xda, choose your favorite )
Yay 50% of dell method worked, just 50% because Dell have tutorial for setting up ADB service, after it i used your tut, thanks, and believe me i will not test it NEVER again.
folks im at my nerves end... (hello btw)
firstly a thousand apologies to the mods if im posting this in the wrong place and a thousand apologies more to the rest of you for asking a question that has probably been answered time and time again.....
I can't get round it, iv been able to unlock bootloader and I thought that would have been the hardest part.... but I think I cant get my hands on the right, up to date files, in order to root my current system... iv been doing a ton of reading and just as many rooting attempts on my phone but to no avail......
the closest iv got in the command window was "error: device 'null' not found", to my understanding this is a driver related issue?...I dont know... if someone could hold my hand (im scared) and walk me through the process step by step I would be very, VERY grateful....
P.s; in exchange I can help you install CFW on a PSP.....lol right? (I actually made a pandora battery back in the day and im still rather proud of that)
UPDATE:........ So i think I was able to flash the proper Kernel (adroid plus kernal V42) but was unable to do flash recovery?
rootcheck says "root access is not properly installed on this device" still.....

error: cannot load 'twrp-2.8.7.0-E6653-20151114_material.img'
UPDATE:
So i was able to do a flash recovery by renaiming the twrp file to simply twrp and adapting the code typed in the command window...... this caused my phone to soft brick or enter a bootloop....
after some swearing and more reading I was able to do a flash recovery with twrp-3.0.2-0-E5823.img (again by typing the exact name of the .img file in the command window....duuhhhh).... this allowed my phone to boot properly (thank God)... but root checker still says "root access is not properly installed on this device".....
I feel as if im close to my goal, what am I doing wrong!?......that soft brick served me as a cold shower and a lesson....this is kinda fun!
FINAL UPDATE:
BOOOM!!! success..... only took me all day...... still one thing though, i was unable to back my system due to lack of space on my SD card.... am I boned in this regard or can I create a back up later?
Thanks for the updates, i will try to follow your guide. how did you finally achieve success ?
Hey Rath,
First off im not responsibly for any damage caused to your device by the following guide....
....on to business...
Assuming your phones bootloader is unlocked, you have correctly installed ADB tools and the drivers required, allowed USB debugging and you know your build number you'll need to head over to this site...
https://kernel.andro.plus/kitakami_r2.html
scroll down....there you will see two sets of requirements one for the Xperia Z5 [E6653 / E6603] and one for the Xperia Z5 Compact [E5823 / E5803]
we are interested in the compact requirements.... you'll see that it says "32.2.A.5.11 -> v42 -" this means that for build number 32.2.A.5.11 you will need kernel version 42....
so keep scrolling down once you've figured out what version you need and click on "google drive V32 and later" for the Xperia Z5 Compact this will open a page with all the files inside (google drive)...either hover over with your mouse each file until you find "Z5C_AndroPlusKernel_v42.zip" or organize the files by clicking "last modified" in list view, this should show you the most recent file (v42) at the top of the list....
once you have found this file DL it and extract it to your desktop...copy ONLY the "boot.img" file into your platform-tools folder (android->sdk->platform-tools)....
next you'll need a recovery file or "twrp" to go with that, so head on over here...
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995304864
and download that file, again copy it to your desktop (no need to extract) then copy this file as well to your platform-tools folder......copy the exact name of the file(TWRP-3.0.0.0-suzuran without the .img part...if youre on windows the .img will not show anyway..)...you'll need it later...
next open the command window by clicking on an empty space IN THE PLATFORM-TOOLS folder, then press shift+right click and select "open command window here" this will open adb tools...connect your phone via usb cable to your pc if it not already connected and type in the command window "adb devices" and hit enter....you should see your device listed...
if so type "adb reload bootloader" your phone should turn off and boot into bootloader (a blue led light should show in the top right corner of your phone)
if so type "fastboot devices" and hit enter...your device should show again on the list...
if so then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" this will flash the kernel V.42 to your system....
you should see a couple of "OKAY"s and the time it took to flash the device....
next type "fastboot flash recovery *right click after the space and paste the exact name of the twrp file you copied earlier*.img
E.g: fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.0.0.0-suzuran.img
and hit enter.... again you should see a couple of "OKAY"s and flashing times....
if all goes well you want to then type "fastboot reboot", your phone should then reboot...once you see a yellow light turn on on the top right corner press the down volume key several times until you enter the TWRP recovery menu.... if so, and the twrp is stable (ie it doesnt turn off on its own and reload) then the hardest part is done.....
click "reboot" on your phone and then click "system"...this will reboot your phone, this time let it run to see if it doenst get stuck in a bootloop....once your phone has loaded you'll want to install superSU....
go to the play store and DL rootchecker.... run the app and it will most likely tell you that your system isnt rooted yet (because we havent installed superSu) so head on over here...
http://www.supersu.com/download
scroll down and DL Recovery "Flashable.zip"...then take the file WITHOUT EXTRACTING IT and put it in the SD of your phone... reboot into recovery using the command window (adb reboot recovery) or turn off your phone, turn it back on and when you see the yellow light click volume down button repeatedly....
once in recovery select INSTALL click on the ZIP file you just added and the phone will install supersu, once done reboot your system and VOILA! check with the root checker app if your phone is root and have fun!....
I found this video to help me out a lot....he uses really old files and is rooting an xperia z5 but its essentially the same....

Hi all, i have a problem that i can't solve, is the oem unlocking on my blu life one x2. I downloaded adb and fastboot (windows user), phone and adb drivers, and when i put the phone on bootloader mode, i run the "fastboot oem unlock" command, and the command prompt say: "need user wipe data, do fastboot oem unlock-go", so i put these command, and the oem is not unlocked yet, so I repeat those steps and the command prompt keeps showing me the same message (need user wipe data, do fastboot oem unlock-go). At this point, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I made the factory format many times, and I cannot unlock the OEM.
Can help me pls? I want to root my device, but because of this problem, I can not go to other steps :crying: :crying:
Thanks

Hi there, I have THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. Done the same, with same lame results... BOOTLOADER STILL UNLOCKED!!
It is really frustrating... been through many posts and guides but can't finish them... fastboot OEM unlock with the user data eraser switch didn't work out well in any case.
IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE WITH A COMPLETE WORKING GUIDE WILLING TO SHARE IT?
Thanks in advance.
J.
I have the same problem also, I have posted on another thread but no responses. here is my error:
"FAILED (remote: Need wipe userdata. Do 'fastboot oem unlock-go')
finished. total time: 0.003s"
Has anyone figured out how to onlock the NEW BOOTLOADER?
I have a new life one x2 that BLU sent me.

I actually still use this device and should be able to get you through this.
I'm not sure where are you on the device i.e. partly unlocked ect.
I'll start you from the top and I'll let you pickup wherever you like.
First, let's get our links ready (because I had these ready to go for myself).
I just checked it now, the device specific links still work.
ADB: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
TWRP: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6_iuhJQH7aGM0JkOXJkUHdlRHM
MAGISK: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/topjohnwu/magisk-manager/
STOCK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6_iuhJQH7aGUFdVVkkzUk8yYWs
DRIVER: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6_iuhJQH7aGa3Q1cmN3eHI3QUE
DOWNLOAD: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6_iuhJQH7aGR05CSnlhWm1HWWc
1) Download The driver, download program, and stock ROM.
2) Install the first two files.
3) Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin
4) When your device is off; Hold down the vol up AND down while turning on the device and wait until the text disappears
5) Plug in the phone to the PC and a red light should start blinking
5) Unzip the stock rom (when done, it can take a while).
6) Open QFIL.exe
7) You should see "(COM8)" on the top for the connection
8) Click on the first Browse button and select the mbn file from the extracted stock ROM folder
9) Click on LOAD XML and click rawprogram_unsparse_upgrade and then patch0
10) Click download until the phone reboots into test mode; click reboot to start the 'new' phone
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Do the generic phone stuff to unlock the bootloader by enabling dev options and then enable BOTH OEM unlocking AND USB debugging
2) Download and install magisk from the link above and then download the zip file it gives you to flash
3) Download the TWRP image and ADB files listed above and do whatever you need/want to do (boot, flash, or both)
4) Flash the magisk zip file and your done
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delete the folders fota, fota-updater, and fire from the system partition in TWRP as these are the spyware/adware that BLU added
If you want to disable and other apps that BLU added, you can just rename the file from *.apk to *.ap
I'll try to be around if you have any questions
Thank you for this. I just left on vacation and will not be able to try this till next week, hope you are around then as I am sure I will have questions.

Hello dougo007,
Some of the links are dead and I am stuck and cannot figure out how to get passed the failed error on OEM unlock. It just keeps saying try unlock go.
Could you please provide new links or point me to someplace that I can use to oem unlock my BLU Life ONE X2. I searched and can't seem to find anything.
