[Android General] mordi34:
Worked for me!

Thanks a lot for this information and for the recovery image!

Here is how I did it:

Download this

I already had drivers for flashing from here (continue reading the thread to find how to install for Windows 8):

I found the Doogee Dg800 Official ROM here:

http://www.doogeemobile.com/download

I also used the SPflash tool Doogee provides.

Then:

1) Extract the zip from the first (dropbox link) and put the file named UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99.zip on your SD card.

2) Put the supersupro.apk on the SD card too.

3) Unzip the official Doogee ROM

4) I did not replace the recovery.img in the official ROM folder

5) Open SPFlash and open the scatter file via the FIle menu - for me this was called MT6582_Android_scatter.txt

6) By default all the entries that are loading will be selected (ticked)

7) Following this tutorial (http://www.gizbeat.com/3774/how-to-flash-cwm-without-root-with-sp-flash-tool/) for installing CWM I did:

- Unselect all (remove tick) except for the entry named RECOVERY

- Click on the entry (click on the word RECOVERY)

- Navigate to the recovery image provided in the first download

8) Click Download in SPFlash Tool

9) Turn off your phone

10) Remove the battery for a few seconds

11) Replace the battery but do not turn on the phone

12) Connect the phone via usb cable

13) The bar in SPFlash Tool should go red

14) It should then go yellow and load to the end

15) A green circle should pop up - success.

16) Disconnect you phone and hold Volume Up button and Power button till you go to recovery (hold for a while)

17) You see only three options - select the first one called "recovery". Up volume is for changing options down volume is to select.

18) Now you see the recovery menu - select the second option, using the down volume key, called "install zip from sdcard"

19) Select this with the power button

20) Select the first option in the new menu - it's called "choose zip from sdcard"

21) Scroll down to UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99.zip and select it

22) Scroll down to the option that says "Yes - Install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99.zip

23) You will see it install, when it finishes, scroll to the bottom of the menu and select the "++Go Back++" until you get to the first menu

22) Select "reboot system now"

23) Install supersupro.apk

24) As suggested do the following:

- Open SuperSU and leave so

- Settings:

- Mark activate superuser

- Mark survival mode

- Uncheck re-authentication

- Allow access by default

- Uncheck display notifications (I want notifications so I did not do this)

- Access full content ( I don't think I saw this option)

Done!

Check for successful root using something like Root Checker Basic from app store.

I did this to solve GPS issues that I had with the phone, keep reading for how I solved those problems:

Problem: Applications could not connect to GPS

Solution: Reflash official ROM using this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982587

with drivers from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2206421

New problem: GPS is poor and takes long to get a fix.

Solution: Follow this tutorial: http://www.gizbeat.com/2159/gizbeat-101-gps-not-working-on-mtk6589-mtk6577-mtk6575/

which basically comes down to installing and using FasterGPS
