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:

1. Pressed Power + Volume Up + Volume Down.


2. Got two teeny lines: Recovery Mode: Volume Up and Factory Mode: Volume Down.


3. No matter what I press, the screen goes dark and nothing happens (boot cycles).
