Guys I need your help.

I updated my firmware (from the stock firmware) to the 2014-11-18 version (downloaded from the doogee site) and rootet it with the CWM Recovery file from needrom.com. First I used the "Firmware upgrade"-method from Flashtool but the phone always showed a popup that I'll have to format it first or it will run unstable.

Because of that I repeated the whole process this time with "Format and download" and the message didn't show up this time.

But this brings me to the next problem: I'm using 2 sim cards (Sim 1 Vodafone, Sim 2 O2). Before the firmware update everything worked fine but now the phone loses the signal of Sim 1 every few seconds. Sometimes the phone loses the whole connection to the sim card so that I have to turn it off and on again. I also tried to switch between 2G and 3G, cleaning the Sim cards and the slots but that didn't solve the problem.

Does somebody know a way to fix this or what might be causing the problem?

I would really aprecciate it if you could help me.

E: I just recognized that it seems that I've lost both IMEI's. I just tried to get them back with the method shown in #432 but my phone still doesn't know them.

E2: I finaly managed to restore the IMEI's with the MTK Tool but it changes the last digit of my first IMEI from ***502 to ***508. I then tried to fix it with the terminal and Mobile Uncle, but both methods still don't work.... I will now check if the original problem still appears.

Regards,

At least I am interested in those things. The animations seem to be consisting only of a couple PNGs and a description text file. It seems to control the delay between the pictures to be displayed. If you have more information about its format please don't hesitate to tell me :)

Kind regards,

That's interesting. I am sorry for being not able to help you with your particular problem but for me, the CWM recovery file from Needrom did not work. Every time I tried to boot into Recovery after having the 2014-11-18 firmware installed, I got several black lines on the screen and it turned from white in to a grey tone which became darker and darker. Of course, nothing more happened then, in particular, I was not able to enter the recovery options. I had to revert to the 2014-08-15 version of the firmware which, fortunately, worked with the CWM recovery file.

The CWM recovery file I used is dated 2014-08-23. Is there a more recent one?

Thank you very much and kind regards,

DAC324

P.S.: Beware of Titanium Backup in connection with the DG800! Today, I severely got screwed. Before trying to update the firmware, I made a full backup with TB, verified it (everything OK). Then, I copied the contents of the TitaniumBackup folder on the SD card to my PC's hard drive (just to have another backup copy).

After upgrading the firmware, I rooted the phone and re-installed TB.

But now comes the bummer:

TB is not able to read its backups any more! Neither the files on the SD card nor those from the PC's harddisk are valid any more :( For all files, TB states "error in backing up" when doing a check on the backups. Of course; I made sure that I installed exactly the same TB version I did the backups with.

What the hell has happened here? And - is there perhaps a fix?
[Device Reviews and Information] Beat_Slayer:
Have you disabled "Mount namespace separation" on SuperSU settings?
[Device Reviews and Information] DAC324:
Indeed, that seems to have been the trick. Strange enough because both the old and the new firmware are both Android 4.4.2 based so that was not obvious to me in the first instance. On the other hand, the error messages were somewhat misleading and frightening because they suggest that the backup files themselves may be corrupt. In addition, the names of all those items are striked through which is also a bit confusing.

Thank you very much and kind regards,

DAC324

I posted a xposed module for our device: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-statusbar-signal-wifi-merge-t3056620

Who had already applied the mod by flashing the SystemUI.apk directly can use the revert.zip on the original post.
[Device Reviews and Information] Rob Weg:
After I fixed the IMEI's (#1 would normaly still be invalid) the phone works like it should again.

But today I recognized that I can't get a GPS location no matter how long I wait. Before the update it took a few secons to get the approximate location and about 1 minute to get the exact location. Now I can't even get the approximate Location after several minutes...

Why the h*** did I install that damn update again?

Thanks for this link but unfortunately my Elo Screen looks very different. (See screenshot)

When I press Epo (Download) nothing happens at all. Because of that I tried "MT GPS EPO Fix" and it seems to download the Epo files. After the restart I'm able to get my location over wifi but not via 3G (nothing happens at all)...

Install Mobileuncle Tools from the playstore, open it, grant root access, select "Engineer Mode", "Engineer Mode ( MTK )", navigate to "Location" tab, select "YGPS", navigate to "Information" tab, and press on “Hot”, “Full” and “AGPS Restart”.

It's finally working again. Seems like I accidentaly blocked an important application for 3G use.

Dunno if you guys want Lollipop for this device, if you follow XDA on YouTube, you might have seen this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuwLM4JSb8g. It says that there is a Lollipop build for MTK6582, so maybe it is possible to flash it to this device.

Good luck :D
[Device Reviews and Information] Beat_Slayer:
There are more versions of Lollipop for the MTK6582, even Doogee has already launched the Lollipop for the DG700 but I bet you can't install it until you Have a working Lollipop kernel for our devices.

For all of u which have problems with the battery. I tested battery charging and it is best to recharge every day from 40-80% but if you charge to full, charge up to 95% max. 4,35v. 100% battery reaches 4,55v which is too high for 0,2v and consequently the battery starts to inflate and deteriorate. Excuse me for my English but I think this is very important for all of us. It could be that someone makes an application which would be at 95% trigger an alarm to switch off from the mains THX.

I buy on this page 2 pieces, but it is wise to buy tracking number for 1,70$ to protect your package, in case of lost or damage problems. Or purchase one more item so that the amount is above $15,then you can have a free tracking number for your order. Without numbers will be sent save shipment, which can take up to 60 days and more. Whit tracking nuber abaout 10-20 days.

Hi,

I have doogee dg800 i want this phone to be restart when connected with the charger .

i have done this in samasung star phone successfully by changing playlpm by this code

/system/bin/reboot

Can Any One Please tell me how can i do same with this doogee dg800 .

Thanks in Advance .

I believe a small app would be the best solution. You could even make one that accounted for small accidental disconnects and didn't reboot in that case, or for USB connection types.

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and would like to know if they could help me with a problem I have some time.

After accidentally format or my DG800, it is heating up from nothing, when I turn it starts to heat up, since I changed the battery, reseted and not solved.

And whenever a new step rom the IMEI invalid.

If anyone can help me I am grateful.

Sorry about my English.
[Device Reviews and Information] Beat_Slayer:
For the invalid IMEI, see the last part of this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57056770&postcount=489.

For the heating issue, you can install an app like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigbro.ProcessProfiler, and check if it's some process thats running continously and overheating your device.
[Device Reviews and Information] samudk9:
Thanks for the reply, I did everything as it was written, the IMEI is now standard but could not indentificar the result in the CPU monitor, the battery temperature was high more then fell, the phone is hot even when turned off and when I connect the charger while it is off glows red, which can be heated if this phone only has the system applications and the CPU monitor?

Here is an Annex to the CPU monitor screen.

Sorry my bad English.
[Device Reviews and Information] Beat_Slayer:
Do your phone heats up when you connect the charger without battery, it may be a battery problem.
[Device Reviews and Information] samudk9:
On the charger without the battery it very little warm, the battery that is in it and new has only 3 days of use, for the old battery ruined.

problems with my DG800

Hi, I have a problems with my DG800(DG800-Android4.4-2014_06-19). Since 2-3 months my phone is very hot in up side when Charging or when I talk. Battery exhaust at once(at 60%, 50% 30%) and I wait 10 minutes on charger to start up. I think that battery is bad and I bought another one original battery but result is same. I think that software is bad but when I connect with USB cable computer not identify my smartphone(USB Device Not Recognized). I try on 3 computers with different windows. What I can do? May I update firmware via SD card (Phoenixcard) or not?
[Device Reviews and Information] Beat_Slayer:
Check the drivers, if it still doesn't work you may have a problem on the usb port.
[Device Reviews and Information] samudk9:
As for the heating there is an alternative that can be exploited?

Can it be any problems with proximity sensor or light sensor?

Hello,

I've just seen that DOOGEE released a 5.0 upgrade to it's DG800. I find it hard to follow up on their Tutorial, is there anyone who can give me a step by step tutorial about how to flash the new room or is there any tool that can get it done for me?

My virusscanner says there's a Win32:Alman-virus in CheckSum_Generate.exe in the Lollipop-update-firmware of the DG800. Does any of you guys who tried to update to Lollipop have that as well?

And besides that, how do you like the update so far?
[Device Reviews and Information] oemcn:
I desinfect this file whit kaspersky. I installed it with this tutorial, w w w.youtube.com/watch?v=92uHmaVKj0I

It works the same as in the video, but you just have to use the 5.0 files from Doogee

first u must install drivers for win7/8 x64, googled : "ALL MTK USB Driver 2014 v 0.8.2" inside ".zip/.rar" find, "New inst. win 7&8x64" and install- Run as administrator.

Than from doogee download android 5.0 & SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1408.00 - Run as administrator

------

POSITIVE things in 5.0

The battery is charged in 2h, no welcome sound, camera has more settings, more beautiful appearance and brighter screen, double tap home button to lock screen, two finger volume up-down .....

NEGATIVE

Only 1.4gb for apps, rotation in some programs not works, no recovery, WI-fi Direct problems...
[Device Reviews and Information] johndoodles:
Lolipop available, but how to install??

Doogee launched a new upgrade tool. This tutorial doesnt work with the Lolipop update.

Besides that. The tutorial is verry hard to folow as is looks like it is made for chinese cutomers.

(path exceeding number of characters, non support for chinesse charcters on western machines).

But perhaps a different update tool can be used like a standard flsh tool or maybey odin?
[Device Reviews and Information] mako2580:
On Linux there's no problem with those characters. And I used the SP Flash Tool, which is now available for Linux too. SP Flash tool tutorial can be found here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982587 . Only problem will be non-existing recovery for this ROM. And when you get "pmt changed for the rom it must be downloaded" error you have select firmware upgrade option in SP Flash Tool.

PS: not sure because i was debloating Lollipop ROM intensively, but on my phone was not working rotation of screen, I set it in options of launcher too. But when i switched back on kitkat rotation is working again.

Have anyone succeded to get a custom recovery on the device? :confused:

I desperatly need of a custom recovery or I'll have to get back to KK, because thats my testing device for the xposed development, and without a custom recovery I can't get xposed on it.

I've already done the modfied EBR files to grow the data partition, but it's PITA to reformat the device on each test of the modfied EBR files, with a custom recovery I could just flash the zip.

I've also tried to make the custom recovery, but as I have no experience with recovery making, the closest I could get was a black screen. :silly:

Try the new Lollipop

Doogee just released the new 5.0 rom.

Just installed it. After fidling around to get the right SB Vcom drivers.

(just look for the All MTK USB Driver 2014 on the web)

Now my DG800 works perfectly on the new Lollipop.

Earlyer post mentioned problem with rotation. Did'nt experience that.

I' did not use the recomended upgrade tool but the standard SP_Flash tool for windows.

Just load the scatter*.txt from the extracted Doogee rom (available on the manufacterer site).

There is a virus warning on the Preloader executable. But you don't need that actual file so just delete it, or clean it.

For now everything seems to work fine. (since an hour i installed it) If there are any problems further on i will post them.

Succes upgrading.

I do not know what went wrong but I would suggest that you first try to boot the custom recovery and not flash it with SP Flash tools or whatever:

fastboot boot <your_custom_recovery_created_with_MTK>.img to see what happens. If you still get the black screen it means that something went wrong during the creation step.

I may have found the problem:

well... Your bootloader appears to be locked, you can check with fastboot getvar all

To unlock it you need to enter fastboot oem unlock

This steps deletes all data but then it is unlocked and you can try the recovery again

Thank you for uploading EBR files. Well I flashed them and for the first time the phone booted up and I could see the changes that you have made. I had 4 GB of internal storage.

Unfortunatelly yes... I've also found it yesterday. I'm working on it. The problem is the "MT6582_Android_scatter" file. Upgrading the EBR files change the partition_size and physical_start_addr. And I cannot hit the correct values...

As I suspected yesterday:

The new Lollipop firmware that Doogee realeased comes with a locked bootloader. :eek: I've even woke up today at 5 o'clock in the morning to build a recovery from the sources and no luck, still the same result.

I advise you to remove the attached EBR files from your post because some people will be to lazy to read the thread and then blame on you for soft bricking their devices, I've done some EBR files this last weekend and also suspected that something weird was going on, because I've done it a lot of times, and this time around the result was always the same (soft-brick), now we have the answer to why, THE NEW BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED, must first unlock so then we can make the changes to the device.

I'll do it later today maybe, when I'm back from work, and test all the recoveries (I've done quite some) and the EBR files I've done, if it works I'll let you guys know and post here the results, and files.

By the way, may we use the EBR1 and EBR2 from the kitkat version, stock rom version June 2014.

These figures are OK for me, wanting to have more space for apps, and less space for pics and vidos on the phone. For the latter files I use the micro SD card storage. Could anyone try this?

It will soft-brick the device for sure.

ERB working for me

I actually installed the ERB files using spflashtools on download mode, then rooted with kingroot, and ERB files are working fine after restart the phone or even turning off/on. (I have Viper working for example)

But yeah, at first using spflashtools in upgrade mode will cause the phone boot-freeze after one restart.

If I can be of more help in this suspect tell me :v, maybe screen shots? a line of code?.
[Device Reviews and Information] Beat_Slayer:
I just told that because I was (am) facing strange issues with recovery flashing resulting in a lot of soft-bricks even after unlocking the bootloader, and I still got no love from the recovery, maybe we'll need some recovery gurus to help on that one.
