I think I might have a fix to roll back OS and I need the help of someone who hasn't bricked their phone yet (Or has access to an ISO of the old non-bricked BLU OS) But you might still be able to do this if someone knows where to find the original BLU OS
So I updated and you know the story, phone will not unlock, looking though these comments someone got a hold of tech support they said that they COULD do rollback while locked

I AM DOING THIS ON A BLU LIFE ONE X2 I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS WORKS ON ANYTHING ELSE OR WHAT ELSE WAS AFFECTED

I am doing this on a BLU Life One X2 I have no idea if this works on anything else or what else was affected.
So what you need:
Your bricked phone (have a good amount of charge)
A micro SD card
The previous version of the Blu OS
Disclaimer: I am not an expert, this is just my suggestion, I am not responsible if you brick your brick but then it is still just bricked, but seriously proceed at your own risk, if it can you should probably wait for BLU to fix it but that will probability take a some time, if it cannot wait than this might work. I am doing this on my BLU Life One X2, I have no idea if this will work or what does work on other devices.
First step: download previous version of Blu OS onto a micro SD card and them put it into the port on the back of the phone.
Second step: Shut down the phone completely hold down the power button until it is completely off, and you are not touching it. Then press and HOLD BOTH the power and the volume up button until I say to let go, the phone should turn on, flash a white screen and say something like press for 8s to boot into DRAM, put your finder on the screen and hold for 8 seconds, phone should turn all the way off now you let go of the power and volume up. You will now just push and HOLD the power button until the phone turns both on and off after it is off let go of the power. This process should trick the phone into recovery mode, PRESS AND HOLD the power and volume up button, until a black screen saying something like entering recovery mode shows up, at this point let go of ONLY the power button, continue to HOLD the volume up. The screen should change to a menu that says something like
Android Recovery
BLU/p7701/p7701
6.0.1 /MMB29M/android11141658
user/release-keys
Use volume up/down and power.
Reboot system now
Reboot to bootloader
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Mount /system
View recovery logs
Power off

Step three: Use the up and down buttons to go to apply update from SD card, use a quick tap of the power button to mount the SD card, this should do a long scrolling list of commands, at one point graphics will load, then hopefully if there were no errors it will stop and show that the install was finished, shut down and reboot, theoretically you should be done but you might need to troubleshoot some things, hit me up with questions OR IF YOU HAVE A CLEAN STOCK BLU OS THAT IS WORKING GOOD SEND THE ISO I COULD REALLY USE IT!
