I have a phone arriving tmw. First thing I will be doing is pulling the stock images. So if it has v09 I will link it for you.
I uploaded stock system and boot images to Androd File Host. If you still need them let me know.

Could you send me the links to the stock image? I recently rooted this phone using superSU and now I can't install Magisk due to the fact that superSU modified the boot image

here is link to my folder for the studio_XL_2
the stock images are in the zip labled
Blu-Studio_XL-2-__BLU_S0270UU_V09_GENERIC-01-03-2017.zip
the modifoed boot.img file will give root adb shell with ability to set selinux to permissive and then mount /system as rw all without needing superSU or magic installed.
The port zips are current w.i.p. of Cm/LM13 for the studio

Okay, I downloaded the files, but I'm not quite sure how to flash the images onto my phone.... Please forgive my ignorance as I've never had to do this before

I assume you already know how to get into twrp, because you were previously attempting to flash magic., So no need to cover that.
Put the boot.img to your phone (same way you put the superSu or magic zips)
To flash the boot.img, select install button in twrp. At lower corner or screen in twrp will appear button "Install Image", select that.
then browse folders same as usual but now will show you the img files available .
select the stock boot.img
next screen is "select Partiton to Flash Image"
select Boot, then "swipe"
this will return you to stock boot.img, as long as you were on V9 before.
You should also be able to flash the system.img the same way, if neede, but I have no way to know If is ok to use as upgrade from V8
must have images unzipped from main archive before putting to phone.

Okay, so flashing the boot image in the way you suggested worked for me, but there isn't an option to flash an image to system. Do I also just do that for boot or maybe uboot...?

There isn't an option to flash it to system fyi, that's the only reason I am asking where I should flash it to.

No, don't put the system image anywhere except in system.
I will need to look at the twrp on the device again tonight.
I know the same recovery before being ported to the studio( on my life Max ) allows flashing system image. That's how I usually do my full reset.
On the studio I assumed it was same. Will update when I get back to PC. ( Tethered recovery is a pain ).
But do you actually need to reflash system though?

In trying to get the google assistant to work on my phone, I tried flashing something and I think it messed up the build.prop file along with some other things. I forgot to take a backup before flashing the zip and now my phone doesn't boot. It just has a black screen.

/system won't mount either..............

system not mounting may be a bigger problem.
I ported different TWRP that has the flash system image option.
same as old one you must use "fastboot boot" to get into it, do not flash it to phone.

Okay, so I figured out why /system wasn't mounting. I accidentally set the rm -rf option instead of formatting the partitions, so I fixed the system partition not mounting. And this port of TWRP fixed my phone, so thank you so much for your help!
And as a side note, why exactly can I not flash TWRP onto the phone? What will happen if I do?

When the recovery is flashed inside, the touchscreen in recovery does not work. Making using recovery impossible, unless maybe a USB mouse would work

Is there like a port of CWM that I can flash to this? I remember an old phone of mine (I think it was a Samsung Fascinate), I had CWM on it and it didn't use the touchscreen at all, but rather it used the volume keys to move the selection and used the power button to actually select a menu item.

there is a "carliv" one . Its a CMW with touch also. But will work without.But it does not see the /data partiton on phone. so only good for install from micro sdcard

So in other words, it won't let you flash anything that'll modify the data partition as well?

If all goes well, I may have a custom kernel in a few days that will enable the touchscreen
