I got a file and some apps & drivers.
You can find a PDF file in the attachement.
Please read it to see whether it can help.

Hi guys, here is another USB driver for KIN TWO which is a little bit different to the one uploaded above.
http-//rapidshare.com/files/456921463/KUSBDrivers.rar
( - should be replaced with : )
Thanks to every one here.
Let's work together/
This looks to be exactly what we are looking for. This will definitely open up the possibilities of modifying the current kin os, or porting a new os to the device. However, this guide is useless without the tools and files mentioned in the document. You said you had some files as well, do you have these files?
SPST Vn.n.n.msi.
PB10ZUnPB20ZU (Lab) Vn.n.n.msi.
SPSTUSBDriverInstall.msi.
InstallPMXMTP.msi
With these files we be able to finally successfully hack this phone.
This is great. We have the resources, now we must figure out how to get a modified os on the phone using the tools.
Awesome find KinPhoneLover; not sure how and where you got this SPST, but it could be the very thing that is needed. For people who bricked their kin phones, they should try the "refurbish feature" to see if that will successfully reset their phones back to "factory mode". As for getting a new OS on the phone, in the pdf at the "Upgrade section", when you browse for the firmware file, it is a .ecn file. Not sure how flashing is done for Cyanogen and those other Android custom firmwares, or their file type extensions. If SPST only supports/allows .ecn files, that could be a problem trying to use those Android custom firmwares.
wow, this is exactly what we needed....did this get leeked or something? it says its from the sharp corp., so im guessing they got it somehow by chatting with them? why isnt there a lot of buzz about this??? i can read my phone number and everything off of this...so close to getting android, or just putting java apps on it..
Too bad its only 32 bit But yes. This is one step closer. Please, people with brick kin, test it out. See if we can get the ball rolling again.

yes, i have to use my slow home computer, instead of using my quad core 64bit laptop
Just got everything up in running. Is anyone else having a problem with the SPST constantly dropping the connection with the phone and reconnecting? I'm not sure if this is due to running XP in a virtual box or if its something I can readily fix.
Short Answer: doesnt work.
Long Story: This needs your phone to be ON even for refurbish option and then, able to connect to a COM port. Unfortunately, that doesnt happen in SBL / APX mode and phone doesnt boot (autoreboots) so no COM mode available.
Just another software installed (for me).
No news in the front, guys. I guess i just need to get rid of verizon software (the one trying to get an OTA), not something from "normal" kin states.
Okay so now that we have a tool to upgrade the software all we need are custom firmware files to flash to it. However I don't see any option to read/dump the firmware using this software.
dezgrz seems to be correct, there don't seem to be a way to read/dump the current OS to make a backup of it. The PRL and ERI options don't seem to be what we want. The Provision option is the only option where we can read stuff from the phone. Could someone run that option, check all those settings (NAM1, security, feature, data, etc) and write it to a file and upload it? Maybe there will be something useful in there.
I gotta order a new battery, then I'll see if I can get anywhere with this... need to load up a 32bit OS first, apparently.
Either way, this is a huge step. Maybe not complete, but still a huge step. Thanks OP.
Hm..??
This seems interesting. I been watching this site until someone "Exploited" the phone. I have a mac, and does this work for kin? What does it do?

That features seem to be available already with "QPST" software... which didnt make anything advance (yet).
As i said, i renamed my NAM succesfully, and changed some security options (which i guess that doesnt matter, cause i *was* able to work anyway).
not much you can do that you cant do already, besides looking at your phones info. I was able to change voicemail numbers, was *86, i changed it to to just 8, and it says voicemail, but doesnt connect. Still playing around.
Why don't you just take it back to Verizon and get a replacement. How would they ever know you messed it up trying to hack it?

You should read the whole threads and/or other threads to understand why.
This phone needs to get hacked. I love my phone but i dont like the OS that the phone has. If this phone isnt hacked by the time summer comes, ill be glad to participate. I've hacked many phones but this may be a challenge. I would like to see apps on this phone.
PS I know the phone has java so where can i go to play games or apps for java?

Out of all the things I know, why wouldn't I know that its Javascript? Jeeezus. I would happily spend time on this phone but my grades are more important. Now what site could I go to on my phone to play apps/games.
P.S your post didn't really help me.
I tried to patch my phone with CM9-ICS-MR0-111207-jordan-KERNEL-2.3.4-Quarx build and when I rebooted I get this
bootloader
09.10
err:A5,70,00,00,23
battery ok
ok to program
connect USB
data cable
Now I have googled this and found many options.
So far I have tried these.
droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-hacks/68222-unbricking-your-droid-x.html
When I do this I get a error (in linux ATM so cant tell you the name will get it ASAP) and I have got rsd lite 5.7 and the latest drivers from the motorola site. I have tried many roms and placed it in C:, My documents, in the RSD folder, on the desktop, in the download folder. Always open the program in admin.
Also this:
droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-sbf/23638-linux-solution-your-windows-rsd-lite-problems.html
I have tried many of there ISO images and all boot and say they start to do something, then it says failed! rebooting and then it reboots and says to remove battery and go into these option (which I cant as it will only boot on the boot loader screen I tried to get into recovery and no luck) so it was a fail also.
I hope there is a solution as this is a pain, I may of put a to high rom on and cant revert back??
I am sick of googling and alot of the links come back to this site and have tried many but all seem to be repetitive and what I have tried.
Thanks in advance
Ok Fixed this site is the best!!! All I done was read the all in one beginners guide and it linked to a rom for the defy plus (all the other defy plus ones I found where folders not RSD files like this one)
So loaded the file into rsd lite and sure enough it went threw.
YAY! I cant believe I recovered my phone! I knew it was something but to find the right image was the trick I guess.
I did install the defy + CM9 image but I am not sure what happened there.
Thanks to all (more so walter79 for the image)
Hope this helps some one out in the future
Ok I got the phone to work with the image posted in the defy + section but when I boot I get no service.
I have tried to do a factory reset and had to input all the accounts again but that did not help.
what can I do?

Get the baseband switcher app It changes the network related files to the ones correct for your country/network! You need to set it manually, though, so, it may take a couple of tries to figure out which one is the best choice

thank you heaps it had telstra in the settings selected it and looks like I have service now. Thank you so much I cant belive I was just about to give up and get a new phone now I have a working phone with 2.3.6 and rooted now I got the network to work again . Super happy, now to see what I was missing out on since I have been pulling my hair out the last few days thinking I got a bricked phone.

Hey Guys,
I know there are a lot of threads like these, but unfortunately most of them are not exactly up to date, and when you are frustrated with failure that isn't helping either.
So here's the thing, I've tried installing custom recovery and ROM. I used HOX toolkit i've found here, the author suggested using TWRP. It installed okay but i wasn't able to use it because the touchscreen didn't work at all. So I've tried different tutorial on onexroot.com this time with cwm. Again everything installed correctly. I went on to install custom rom (cyanogenmod 10.2) installed it, everything was ok, rebooted my device, the cyanogenmod spinning logo pops up saying something about apps and stuff, then it was stuck for more than 5-7 minutes which pretty much means it doesn't work. So I've tried wiping stuff as said in the tutorial which didn't seem to change anything... Now I'm stuck and have no idea what to do since I haven't backed up old rom (is something like that even possible)
Anyway how should i proceed now?
Is there a way to get back to stock everything or did i just destroyed my hox?
I do realize that this is most probably my fault and i feel really ashamed.
So any working links/tutorials/anything are most welcome
Thanks

OK... First of all PLEASE tell me that you have made a nandroid backup before messing around !?!
If you did than it's all fine...
if not... well, we'll come to that...
So, first of you need to get into the bootloader, and flash the boot.img... Get the file by extracting the cyanogen.zip to your PC...
Now move it to the data folder in the all-in-one toolkit, shft+right click there on empty space and click open with command propmt...
now run:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Now you should be able to boot into cyanogenmod...
Now if you want to go to stock, you can just restore your nandroid and flash the stock boot.img using mentions commands, but if not you'll have to ether find an ruu or find an nandroid backup that someone uploaded with your base...
Now, just believe me this...
The BEST recovery is CWM Touch 5.8.4.0 as of today...
So use it...
1 : he already said he hasn't got a backup
2: cwm 5.8 is not the BEST recovery because it's outdated ! Twrp (repacked or not) or philz touch recovery are way more advanced.....
Just saying
And can I just add that the guides are NOT outdated. They work if you follow instructions exactly
Put the kettle on
gonna try desmonds way.
I didn't back up anything
I didn't mean quides on unlocking your device are outdated, by all means they are great for community created guides. What I meant by that that trying the reverse process is a little bit of a struggle

Ok, but when you execute the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" you should type "fastboot erase cache" before and after that command

Thank you so much! All of you! It works! Faith in humanity, people on the internet, myself RESTORED!
here's what i did
Okay, not everything really works.... I'm missing playstore, how should i proceed now? :/
nevermind, just found out why
Okay another problem :/ I wanted to installed google apps, however usb driver doesn't work anymore, why is this? i can see HTC in device manager but i do not have appropriate drivers

Well you go into settings > about > there you will find stuff like android version... if you tap on that a few times you get the jelly beans to play around with, and so if you tap a few times on ether build number or baseband version you will get a toast notification that you are now a developer... now go back to settings and you'll see a new entry at the bottom, called developer options... go in there and turn them on... then fins adb and usb debugging and turn them both on.

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.

Hello all.
I've recently bought this LG-H735 and it runs Marshmallow. Only now I've discovered the issues with its internal memory so I'd like to root in order to use my SD card as default space to install apps.
Problem is, after a bit of search I used Kingroot and it seem to do the trick... until I restarted the phone and it soft-bricked into the usual bootloop. Can access the download mode but it gets stuck at 0% for hours.
Next step would be to flash but I've been searching everywhere on the web and I can't find the ROM. All links are either down, lost or just plain broken. I'd need the PRT version if I'm geting this right, thats what my phone box shows at least.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right way.
Any tips would be apreciated, still new to all this. Thanks in advance.
Also... a little question update if I may. Anyone recomend a nice custom ROM for this phone? Unfortunatly Cyanogen is not compatible it seems.
Thanks again.
