A different boot loop after flashing BLU phone This is the same BLU Life One X as in Cannot get into recovery mode from boot-loop on BLU phone:

I followed the instructions and flashed the phone with BLU_L0070UU_V12_GENERIC.

I am still in a boot loop, but less predictable:


It shows 0%
BLU/Bold Like Us
Android is starting/optimizing app AAA of BBB
Android is starting/starting apps
Select language
Checking connection
(Sometimes) updating software
(Sometimes) starting the cellular service
Enter email/password of the account to which the android was synced


At any point in the above, the phone may go dark and restart.
I never managed to finish typing the Google account password.
At some point, it also asked for a WiFi password, it no longer does and, apparently, can connect to my hotspot.

Recovery still does not work:


Pressed Power + Volume Up + Volume Down.
Got two teeny lines: Recovery Mode: Volume Up and Factory Mode: Volume Down.
No matter what I press, the screen goes dark and nothing happens (boot cycles).
It turned out that repeating the steps, i.e., 


re-flash the phone with BLU_L0070UU_V12_GENERIC
press Power + Volume Up + Volume Down
get two teeny lines: Recovery Mode: Volume Up and Factory Mode: Volume Down
press Volume Up


solved the problem
