For OTA updates you need stock recovery
Or download the full rom and flash thorthrough twrp
Yes i agree. You need one of the above mentions. Either you should have a stock rom or flash the whole firmware update version.

Hi. I have a problem with my BLU vivo XL.
I've flashed it to Gionee Rom and install TWRP recovery. After that it is booting only in recovery and my PC doesn't see it via USB.
Due to that i can not reinstall firmware.
Can anyone help?
(I'm not permitted to post in the developers forum, i.e. roms, kernels, recoveries, etc., so I'm posting this here).
My original post can be found here in the Blu Development Group on Google+. (Forgive me if this is considered redundant):

TWRP v3.0.3 BLU VIVO XL V0030UU - MT6753 for Android 6.0 (kernel 3.18.19) by lopestom
(And TWRP v3.0.2-1 Materialized)
Special thanks for +lopestom for compiling these custom recoveries and for all his instruction and help.
Instructions for minimal ADB installaion:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Instructions for TWRP boot load:
- Turn on developer options
- Turn on USB debugging
- Turn on OEM unlocking in developer options. Using fastboot oem unlock doesn't matter, I believe, but I did it anyway. It doesn't cause a boot loop on Android 6.0, but using fastboot oem unlock on my android 5.1 version did cause a boot loop for me.
- ADB reboot bootloader
- Fastboot boot <twrp_recovery_file.img>
- Wait about 1-2 minutes
THIS IS IMPORTANT. I had no luck flashing the twrp recoveries using the conventional means of either SP flash tool or Fastboot flash of the recovery. The device would always boot loop at least once and revert back to the stock recovery. However, I did have success using "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img" in the bootloader. TWRP would take a while to load, but it did. This was the first TWRP recovery I personally was able to load on Android 6.0 of the Blu Vivo XL. If you are successful in permanently flashing the TWRP, please share your method

You can try both of the above. I was able to successfully root the device using v3.0.3, but both would load.
The prior STOCK ROMs (Android 5.1 V07 and Android 5.1 V10) for Blu Vivo XL are on the repository by +William Smith. Please note that no stock rom for the Blu Vivo XL on Android 6.0 has been released by Blu. You must upgrade to Android 6.0 through the OTA update.
I used this to root (not sure who to credit, my apologies):

Shoot, I meant to post this in the guides section. Newbie mistake. Are there any moderators that can move this thread? Thanks.

Thanks for letting us know. Do you currently have another custom recovery on there?
It's important to wait for it to load for about 1 to 3 minutes. Or did the phone go back to system booting on its own? During that time the "screen" may go into sleep mode. Just tap power button to wake it up and see if TWRP is there. Also, is your bootloader unlocked? I believe that may be required on the Gionee elife S Plus, where you actually have to go through the process of "fastboot oem unlock", and let it reboot. BEWARE: this will wipe your device.
In any case, I didn't test this recovery on the Gionee elife S Plus, as I don't have that device. Although they're the same phone, maybe there are slight differences in the booting process?
Likewise, for instance, this TWRP from Hovatec below for the Gionee e life S plus didn't work on my Blu VIVO XL. I believe others may have had luck booting to recovery using it on the VIVO XL, however. Not positive. But for me, I had no luck.

I read somewhere the Gionee S Plus has Android 6.0.1. Is that correct? The VIVO XL still has Android 6.0 (same kernel), but I'm not sure that would make a difference.
can you provide me a TUT on how to replace the recovery using ADB just the way you flashed Your Phone.. Please
Same as the 3rd floor. Black screen and then bootloop
I've had the Vivo 5R for over a year now, with TWPR recovery (mainly to have it rooted). Lately, it's been trying to update the firmware and boots to the TWRP recovery and obviously fails. Id there a good way to flash the stock recovery and be able to install the updates?
Currently on Android 6.0
Build Number is BLU_V0090UU_V11_GENERIC

Thanks!
I want to have stock rom with TWRP and Magisk, but I have fallen so far
My X2 Pro EU Is unlocked, with TWRP (same situation official and TWRP 3.3.1-11) ... and bootloop instead of rom
Stock OZIP does not install correctly. What should I do? Search for stock recovery, install stock rom and try TWRP again?
