Somehow, Kingo Root didn't work for me even though other reported it did work ... but after playing around I was able to make it work, so here it is :

ROOTING instructions for the DG310

WARNING :

Me any XDA members are not responsible for any damages that this rooting might cause to your phone, please proceed only if you know what you're doing!

-------------

Things you will need :

- Your DG310 plugged in a Windows computer

- Kingo Root (I didn't try any other softwares!) available HERE

- ADB drivers, through PdaNet+ Windows application, HERE

-------------

STEP 1 ;

Put your phone in USB debugging mode ... you should know how, if not, Google ;)

Then plug it in one of the USB port of your computer (don't mind the drivers install by Windows)

STEP 2;

Install PdaNat+

During the install it will ask what phone you have, select HTC

Instead of DG310, now you should see "Android ADB Interface"

STEP 3;

Install Kingo Root (or the root application of your choice, let us know if it works!)

When the installation is finished, run Kingo Root.

Follow on screen instructions ... after a few minutes it should be done!

VOILA! You now have a rooted DG310!

I'll try to add screenshots when I can ... I just spent the last 2 hours playing around with ADB drivers, restarts and phone reboots so I didn't take any screenshots since I wasn't sure I would be able to get anything! I will also add the credits that are due to some members here ... but I don't have time now, I just finished writing this and now I gotta go take care of my feverish daughter! So no sleep for me! lol
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:
My dg310 has just arrived! It works! The root works! :)
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:
The only bad thing about the phone until now is the multitouch. I can't zoom in pictures properly :\ We certainly need to get that fixed...

Single touch works 99% fine
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
I don't have any problems with multi touch!

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

So here are my COMPLETE instructions WITH screenshots ...

WARNING :

Me or any other XDA members are not responsible for any damages that this rooting might cause to your phone, please proceed only if you know what you're doing!

-------------

Things you will need :

- Your DG310 plugged in a Windows computer

- Kingo Root (I didn't try any other softwares!) available HERE

- ADB drivers, through PdaNet+ Windows application, HERE

-------------

There are 2 methods, if you didn't connect you phone to you computer, don't do it and use method 1, if you already plugged it and Windows tried to install drivers already use method 2!

METHOD 1 (from a PC where the DG310 was never pluged into) ;

STEP 1 ;

Put your phone in USB debugging mode ;

Go into settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging

STEP 2;

Install Kingo Root

When the installation is finished, run Kingo Root. You will be presented with this screen ;

Follow on screen instructions ... wait for Kingo to ask you to plug the phone.

When plugged, Kingo will install ADB drivers ...

Then it'll tell you to unplug it ...

It will finish installing the drivers and it will tell you to plug it back again ...

You will then only have to click on the ROOT button (screenshot from softpedia, the DG310 isn't recognized as a Galaxy S3)

Don't touch anything and after a few minutes, VOILA! you now have a rooted DG310!

METHOD 2 (phone was already plugged in the PC and Windows already installed drivers for it)

You could try uninstalling the drivers and remove them from the system but I coulnd't find a simple and quick way to do it, so installing the ADB drivers from PdaNet+ is the fastest way to trick Kingo into working!

STEP 1 ;

Put your phone in USB debugging mode ;

Go into settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging

STEP 2;

Install PdaNat+

During the install it will ask what phone you have, select HTC and finish the installation.

In the device manager, instead of DG310, now you should see "Android ADB Interface"

STEP 3;

Install Kingo Root (or the root application of your choice, let us know if it works!)

Now you can follow instructions of Method 1 and everything should work!

BIG thanks to skipper-pit for pointing out his DG310 was detected as a HTC phone and that Kingo worked for him, that is what sent me on the track to find the information I posted here!

The speaker mode which making a phone call changes to normal mode occasionally. There are times it doesn't change.

It seems to be a software bug.

What I mean is that when on a phone call and using the speaker mode, it drops to normal and if activated to speaker, it still drops to normal after some time. It does this at times and other times behaves well.
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:
Both me and my brother have multitouch problem... :( Try using google maps and tell me if you can zoom in easily.

This ROM has a few bugs, yes.
[Device Reviews and Information] wyw1998:
Mine does't have the zoom in issue with pic or map.but i do find the problem with the speaker mode.i am not able to switch to outdoor mode, it keeps go back to normal mode.
[Device Reviews and Information] voiceferous:
Thought I'd share this little nugget:

The phone charges better and lasts longer if it's switched off during charging.
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
Anybody with the touch screen issues tried removing the screen protector to see if it was the cause of the problem?
[Device Reviews and Information] arealmanzter_2:
Do we already have a custom rom for this device? The only problem I have is that there is no SIM MENU. And the camera is not that good.
[Device Reviews and Information] DOASalesman:
Root at last! Root at last! Hallelujah I have Root at last!

*sigh* After months of messing about with sp flash tools I finally rooted my DG310 by using Kingo Root. Thank you PRC ( People's Republic of China).

Of course I now have no idea of what spyware may now be on my phone, but I have root, so as long I keep sensitive information OFF of and away from my device I should be OK.

The key to using the kingo root method is letting kingoroot deal with the instalation of your drivers. If you've connected to your pc before, you must uninstall the drivers for your phone and reboot the pc.

I doubt pdanet+ was necessary, but install it first just in case.
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:
My brother did remove the screen protecion. The touch improved but the multitouch problem didn't go away...
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
It was for me, I had connected the phone on my PC to transfer some files and uninstalling the drivers, restarting the PC, installing Kingo and plugging the phone didn't worked, it would reinstall the previous drivers that Kingo wouldn't recognize.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

ok, because I had random multi touch problems until I removed the screen protector.

there are a few ROMs on needroms but nothing really "custom"

http://www.needrom.com/category/doogee/dg310/

as for the camera you can use Google Camera or Camera 360, much better than the original one.
[Device Reviews and Information] _JoaoCampos:
What do you mean with "there's no SIM MENU"?
[Device Reviews and Information] nvnnyz:
issues with incompatibility

Please can some1 help me out, I tried to update my bbm, but it's saying that my device isn't compatible with that version. What could be the problem.
[Device Reviews and Information] sterling101:
Has anyone else had a problem with the phone charging at all?

Mine shows the charge indicator for about a second then stops. Seems to be happening more frequently and it's random as to how long it lasts.

Did a full re-image last night and it started charging again but stopped overnight at 59% and won't charge any more.

Anyone else had the same issue??
[Device Reviews and Information] Valter84:
After the update, I also started having problems with charging. My case is that the wifi "dies" and don`t work again until I remove the batterie and put it again.
[Device Reviews and Information] sterling101:
Mine literally refuses to accept that it's charging - in the engineer mode you can see the charge circuit is seeing 5v but it doesn't trip over to charging and allow it to actually boost up the battery voltage at all.

Frustrating to say the least...
[Device Reviews and Information] sterling101:
New battery fitted - now works fine!

Might be time to find a source for an alternative battery manufacturer...
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
good to know it was just the battery ...

For me it seems the wifi has problems when the phone is charging, after a while I don't have any connections with apps but the wifi is still connected (wifi icon is there and I see "connected" in "settings >> wifi", also I can see the phone from the router).

Turning off/on wifi doesn't work, only a phone restart fix this problem. Similar problem happen when not charging but a simple off/on does the trick.

Also the wifi doesn't seem very efficient, I got DSL 10/2 at home

​

and I can easily get 650+kbps on downloads on any other devices (desktop and laptop included), somehow this phone doesn't go above 500-550kbps even when all the other devices and computers are turned off.

Apart from that, the occasional touch screen problem and poor battery this phone is quite amazing for the price!

EDIT :

Just found a workaround for my WiFi problem! It's not clean but now resetting the WiFi only takes 20-30 seconds and there is no need to restart the phone : turn off WiFi, then enable tethering for a few seconds, turn off tethering and then re-enable the WiFi... Though a phone restart from time to time might still be a good idea.
[Device Reviews and Information] _JoaoCampos:
Do you have any other phone to compare these results with? Phone radios are typically more susceptable to interference and that's why the performance is rarely the same as desktops/laptops.

This phone picks up neighbor networks a bit too well and that's one of the reasons for disconnections and less reliable connections. Try checking your router settings and attempt another wlan channel, maybe that one is too crowded.
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
Thanks for the suggestions but I already did that (changed channel) ... The DG310 have the same problem at work where there is only 1 network available.

Other wireless devices that work better on my router are : iPhone 4S, BB Bold 9790, Asus MeMo Pad 8, Samsung Galaxy Discover, Nexus 4 and all Windows machines (3 laptops and 2 desktop). All these previously mentioned devices have better wifi connection than my DG310.

Of all these the one that sees the most network is the Asus tablet, this thing easily max out my DSL connection but isn't causing any trouble right now since that crappy device died and was sent back for RMA twice ... once I get it back (again) I'll give it as a gift to my brother, hopping it'll last longer in its hands! lol
[Device Reviews and Information] arealmanzter_2:
meaning there is no way to access the sim card menu.
[Device Reviews and Information] shoelace1999:
Guys I need help i flashed a zip file with 5 % battery and now it shows

Doogee for about 25 secs

Then it turns of for 4 secs

Loops!!!

What do I do
[Device Reviews and Information] Annie Y:
Emm, what i want to know is whether this Doogee DG310 mobile comes with Android 4.4 OS?
[Device Reviews and Information] leancofx:
Yes there is SIM menu... You have to install Nova Launcher to take the same apperience than usual...

Yes it is KitKat 4.4 os
[Device Reviews and Information] Iegolas:
Do you fix that ? Is there a way to use the sd card to move the obb folder or storage other kind of info.

I tried with Xposed , Bind Directory but I can't...
[Device Reviews and Information] MrGammao:
I tried to use the gl to SD but no root capabilities and folder mount did the trick had to pay from the Play Store .cracked version deleted the obb files .
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
I confirm that gl to SD works, it's free but your phone needs to be rooted in order for it to work.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ezio363:
Jus updatet with OTA THE 18 MB version from 15.9. I knew about the screen problem but i just had to :) do it. And yes i did got a cut screen on top, half of status bar was gone and the bottom was somekind of overlaping or something. But somehow it fixed by itself while i was searching the best way to restore older version of the rom. So after a few minutes after update it all came back to normal??? I dont know why i didnt do anything.
[Device Reviews and Information] MrGammao:
Anybody have issues with maps?
[Device Reviews and Information] TheST4RL:
Any plans for a custom ROM for this phone, I really would like to see Cyanogenmod on this device!

P.S. : I have encounter distortion when using ViPER4Android FX? How can I fix this?
[Device Reviews and Information] MrGammao:


What driver you install?
[Device Reviews and Information] TheST4RL:
Super

The same settings on another device doesn't cause distortion.
[Device Reviews and Information] MrGammao:
What device what firmware ? May you installed wrong driver..
[Device Reviews and Information] TheST4RL:
Doogee Vooyager DG310 with the stock firmware (the one that came with the phone). I only installed SuperSU and a custom recovery.
[Device Reviews and Information] MrGammao:
Ok when using viper4 android you need to install a certain driver to work properly .. the last one is the correct one you can also check f orum in help wich driver choose for mtk devices
[Device Reviews and Information] TheST4RL:
So I should use the power saving driver?
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
I have some minor touch screen issues, nothing bad but sometimes it'll register a pinch when I try to scroll and vice-versa. Nothing too bad, I can live with that, but one "major" issue I got was the touchscreen refusing to work, it's ALWAYS when I bring it from sleep while charging. The only way to reboot it is to pull the battery, somehow I can't force a reboot by holding down the power button.

Anyone else got similar issues?

BTW I think those can only be fixed with an OTA update and I don't think it's gonna happen! Still I just wan to confirm, if someone else have similar problem it's most likely a software issue, if I'm the only one, most likely a hardware issue.
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:
The touchscreen has some bugs... But I don't have that one of non working after bringing it from sleep while charging... You can always try a hard reset :D
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
ok, I don't feel to do a hard reset for I problem that only show once every blue moon (only happened twice). If something else arise I'll probably do a hard reset but for now there aren't any other problems that seems to be worth resetting the phone.

Also, anyone has problem with GravityBox? I can't seem to make it work! It worked on the first reboot but now it refuse to open. (GravityBox system framework not responding.) :crying:

I just restarted into recovery mode, it's all in Chinese ... is there any translation or instruction out there???
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
My wife helped me, I did a reset and now GravityBox is working again, still have random wifi disconnection though.
[Device Reviews and Information] wyw1998:
Try this out.

1. unstall the gravity box. Reboot.

2. untick the disable resource option in framework setting, reboot.

3.install the gravitybox , activate the module, reboot.

*** All the reboot, please use framework itself to complete.
[Device Reviews and Information] arealmanzter_2:
Sorry. I was able to root my phone already. Found the kingroot apk. Never thought it would be this easy.
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
Thanks, somehow none of these worked, tried this and other workaround I found online but none worked, my solution was a factory reset.

Xposed problem and gravitibox

Hi, I have installed Xposed with gravitibox (KK) and I can not put the transparent top bar or the lockscreen. Is there any module or any launcher that can be put transparent top bar ???

Thank you very much and sorry for my English
[Device Reviews and Information] cesarbash:
I use the module "Flat style Colored Bars" and nova launcher
[Device Reviews and Information] _JoaoCampos:
Just found one, first one that actually worked. Flat Style Colored Bars xposed module let's you match (automatically) the color of your status bar with your app (Lollipop style, which I love) OR use a manual picker to change the color and transparency for each app.
[Device Reviews and Information] _PePe_:
many friends is solved ... thanks

I only need the lock screen as the gravitybox I can not ....

Just recieved a notification for an OTA update

"DOOGEE-DG310-Android4.4-20141205"

Only problem is... the releasenotes are in Chinese
[Device Reviews and Information] Longcatus:
I updated!

Same here.

I lost camera auto-focus and got the screen size bug in the previous update.

Downloaded and Installed :fingers-crossed:

After about 7 minutes and lots of waiting for "App Optimizing"

My camera still sucks... the screen size bug appears to be gone.

And! Go Keyboard app appears translated (was in chinese in the last update)

So far... no problems.
[Device Reviews and Information] _JoaoCampos:
It's the camera that sucks. However, I've noticed that the default camera app makes things a little worse, try something else.

Those release notes don't say anything about what changes.
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:
I updated mine and everything works fine except one thing... I lost root and I cant root it with kingo root :( What can i do?
[Device Reviews and Information] sodamhall:
I rooted mine with root genius
[Device Reviews and Information] Galaphile:
Updated,

- Screen issue from the last update is fixed,

- Low Bluetooth Media Volume NOT Fixed

Icons put in folders to organize my device..... are not in folders anymore.... sigh

Hello and thank you first for this great forum.

I only have the info on an OTA update from 15.09.2014 .

Do I need to update this first before I get a notification to the latest firmware ?

I have the DG V2 310 with Stock -Rom without root .

Thanks and regards Torsten
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:
Most likely yes. Try updating and tell us if the new update shows up.
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:
It still doesn't work... It says root is successful but it instantly restarts and then it says it's not rooted...

:\ Any alternatives?
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
someone mentioned Root Genius, I never tried it but you could try. Let us know if it worked!
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:

It looks like fine. Update whithout Problems.

Thanks for the Info.

It installed omiga plus... It's quite tricky to remove it :\ But I managed to do it :) Nice and clean now! :D

I tried with rootgenius and no success. I think they "blocked" root on the latest OTA update!
[Device Reviews and Information] _JoaoCampos:
Just rooted it with Kingo Root 1.2.8, had to reinstall windows drivers first though because it was showing up as an htc device.

KingoRoot will say it's not rooted after you open it again but it's in fact rooted. Make sure SuperSU is updated.

I also installed the beautiful TWRP with Material Design theme, best recovery ever :D
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:
Can you explain how you reinstalled the windows drivers? My Kingo root keeps saying HTC Device Voyager DG310. What shoud it say?

And how did you install TWRP? :D EDIT: Oh, I've seen how you install the TWRP. Just need to know the driver thingy...
[Device Reviews and Information] _JoaoCampos:
I uninstalled the HTC driver in Device Manager and installed the drivers from the "Tools" link at doogee site.
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:
I can't autoinstall the drivers from doogee website... This shows up:

update screwed root access

Hi, yesterday i installed the phone update from doogee. But now i have no root access and supersu says "no binary found".

Is there a simple way to fix this instead of going through the root process again?
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
nope ... you'll have to root it again.

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

Tried that, the drivers are hosted on Google Drive and it says I don't have access, I clicked "request access" but I still don't have access ... any way you could upload the drivers somewhere (like NeedROM)

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:
I also tried to install those drivers but no access... But! I noticed all tools from any doogee phone on the doogee website are the same. You can transfer tools from other doogee phone, its all the same crap. Anyway, I installed those drivers and they are not needed for this ( i believe). Eveerything failed to reroot it excepto chineese APP vroot. Try it. Remember to uninstall all crap after and install supersu. Tell me if u need help
[Device Reviews and Information] Raj.R:
Okay, so i trying to root again with kingo root. But it can't find the phone. I already went through usb debugging, root access check in engineer mode. I don't know what i am missing... Can somebody shed some light on how to overcome this? It seems like the doogee update changed something in phone so it can't root again. same tactics that apple uses.
