First off - I used the king root app that was posted here to get root on my phone....

Now, after i updated to the newest OTA version(I think it said something about peru settings in the discription) i am greeted with an android system recovery <3e> screen. I guess the update didnt apply properly because of the root access i have(its the only non-doogee sanctioned thing i did with the phone[in the hopes i could get the xiaomi fitness band to work. Still no luck on that])

Could someone guide me with what i need to do to fix this? Its my daily use phone and i dont have a backup, so i *really* need to get this thing sorted today.

Also, anyone manage to get their xiaomi band to work with this phone?

edit- after reading the past few pages, i see i'm not alone. I think all of us novice users here would appreciate a little help.

I'd also like to take this time to say how incredibly unhappy i am with this phone. I knew buying a cheap chinese phone, id face a few quirky issues.... but *so much* of this phone has issues that almost all come back to lazy rom development. The Xiaomi band issue being the one that really irritated me the most(Theres no hardware reason why the band shouldnt work. Its got the proper version of android. Unless they lied about it being BT4.0, there shouldnt be an issue.)

Another thing is the inconsistent power-amp performance. 9/10, when i plug my headphones into it, it wont auto-play. 100% of the time, it wont re-start after a pause when i receive a text message or even open a .gif in the browser.

All the spelling errors and UI layout problems(in the gesture page) were understandable in the first few releases... but we're like 5 updates in now. How have they still not fixed that?

It'd be a moot issue if we were getting CM roms, but since theres no drive for that because of the MTK chip...
[Device Reviews and Information] scott86:
huh. Got annoyed waiting long enough that i thought id just install the official rom again(downloaded the 1.4gb file, assuming it'll go over my current one, with the assumption i'll lose all my messages, apps, settings, etc...) but it seems that i cant even manage to do that, as the only place the 'system recovery <3e>' will look for files, is on the internal storage(it says "apply update from sdcard', but it only looks at internal storage) so it looks like i really am SOL without someone giving me a little guidance.

Think i might just go on kijiji and buy a cheap flip phone today so i can atleast get messages and dont get fired if a situation at work requires me to show up. There goes any bit of savings i would have gotten by buying an off brand phone. :rolleyes:
[Device Reviews and Information] scott86:
Man is this frustrating. Appreciate the help chagato.

-Launch SPFT through "flash_tool.exe" and go to the "download" section. Tell SPFT where to find the scatter file (and the boot file if I remember correctly). They both are in the uncompressed ROM folder.​

What do i select for the 'download agent'? It asks for a bin file, but theres 3 in the root(and the 'kernal' one gives me an error if i chose it) and a bunch more further down.

edit- Tried on 3 different computers(windows Vista, Windows 7 and windows 8.1) and none of them worked. I got the adb driver installed(though each time windows warned me it was untested, or something), and for it to give me the recognized chime/sound when its plugged in(when the phones set to look in adb mode)

I pick the scatter file and use the default agent file. I click download and everything gets dimmed grey(as nothing other than stop can be selected) I plug the phone in, in adb mode. I get a confirmation sound that windows has the proper driver for the phone... but nothing changes. The computer doesnt freeze either.. Its like the 2 things arnt talking to each other at all.(phone screen stays the exact same)

Anyway, i got a friend of a friend to lend me an old phone of theirs.(huawei Y300)

I'm so incredibly frustrated with this dg310 that even if i manage to get it working, i have so much resentment towards it that i think its only a matter of time till i lose my patience and smash the thing to pieces.

I found a tutorial with some screenshots on how to use SPFT "How to Flash Stock Rom using Smart Phone Flash Tool" on androidxda.com.

I'm getting some stuff that I'm worried about, here's a screenshot:

[IMG="Screenshot"]https://www.dropbox.com/s/vwm4zkzwukx3ick/Clipboard01.jpg[/IMG] https://www.dropbox.com/s/vwm4zkzwukx3ick/Clipboard01.jpg

Should "PRELOADER" be in red like that? Because it does give me an alert.

And should there be so many unchecked elements?

Thanks for your efforts!

MT65xx Preloader Fail

I get an error in SPFT when I select the MT65xx Preloader ("Fail"). Any feedback?
[Device Reviews and Information] chagato:
Yes the neerom link is correct (the "official stock" one dated 10/09/2014) and the method from androidxda is basically the same^^

Use the ROM and SPFT and drivers from the needrom link, the one you're using is not the latest version (v5.1408) and it's why it might not work.

Every box should be checked. You might have the wrong scatter file/rom.

Here's a screen capture of what your SPFT window should look like before flashing the phone:

http://i58.tinypic.com/20igoet.jpg
[Device Reviews and Information] oroboros74:
What do you mean "You might have the wrong scatter file/rom."?

Thanks for your help, first of all!

To be clear, the files we're looking for are on http://www.needrom.com/download/stock-rom-5/

This will give us back stock, right?

You wrote: "To get root access (!!! if you didn't read the first part of the post..DON'T DO THAT BEFORE UPDATING IT'S WHAT BRICKED THE PHONE !!!"

I'm worried that mine was already rooted. Will I have problems?

Eventually I want to root and also install CWM. I'm wondering if it's not possible to just use traumig's files...?? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks again!
[Device Reviews and Information] chagato:
I used the "USB Vcom" drivers from the "tool.zip" file given by the uploader on needrom. The device manager from Windows should list it under "Android devices" as something preloader (mt65xx preloader I think). Although now it's listed as "adb alcatel" in my device manager for some reason and after I uninstalled it...it's not reinstalling properly :-/

Oh and you really have to plug in the phone AFTER hitting the download button. Took me a couple of times to realize it ^^

Anyway, try to use the ROM, the drivers and the SPFT from the same uploader as it might give you a better chance of working. The drivers were the most tricky part for me...worst case google "mediatek preloader" and try to find another version (and don't forget to restart the computer it helped in my case) :fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

Yes that's the correct link :D

It's the stock ROM from the first release I think. And yes, the phone got bricked because it was rooted (maybe that's why they removed root acces with the previous update...who knows). That's why I wiped the user data, cache and everything I could from the boot menu on the bricked phone before trying to flash it (volume down to select and volume up to validate). Other than that it shouldn't give you any trouble that the phone was rooted since you're gonna basically get the soft back as of day 1.

When you are finished flashing the phone you'll be able to apply every update even the one that bricked the phone. Afterward you can try my method to get root again.

The scatter file is the one from whithin the ROM file and it should tell SPFT what data and where to write it on the phone (so every line would be checked).
[Device Reviews and Information] oroboros74:
OK, so I'm stuck on this part. I'm not able to install drivers, or at least I'm not sure which drivers to install manually... Should I be trying usb2ser_Win764 (I'm 64x)? If so it fails to load...

This should all be done from the System Recovery screen, right?

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

For some reason I wasn't able to install those drivers, but when I plugged in the phone from totally being off, everything worked fine. Performing updates now - thanks for your help!

I encourage you to fix up the tutorial a bit, maybe adding those screenshots, and then I wonder if it's possible to sticky it.

Now I hope that last update doesn't brick it again. at the very end I'll root again, and if I have problems I'll let you know. Next step after that is installing CWM!

Thanks again!
[Device Reviews and Information] chagato:
I can't add external links to the tutorial...being new here and all :rolleyes: ...but you're right, I forgot to tell that the phone should be turned off! I'll add that right now. Glad to hear that you managed to revive your phone!! Let us know if the root process works as well!
[Device Reviews and Information] oroboros74:
Indeed, all is well again! :)

Do you have any tips on installing CWM? I find a few different versions online....

Is it possible just to delete these files (and have silence) or does the system look for these filenames?
[Device Reviews and Information] chagato:
To be honest, I've had this phone for barely a week so I haven't had a chance to really look into it...especially since I spent 2 days on figuring how to unbrick it haha

For the boot animation I think the description file used by android tells what to play as animation and sound so there might be a problem if a file is missing (probably just blank screen and normal boot...or just no sound). I'm planning on completely replacing both since I don't care for the logo and I hate that softcore 70's porn music ^^
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
Good question, I have no idea! Just to be on the safe side because I'm guessing you don't want to brick you phone again, I would replace the mp3 with an empty/silent audio file, like this the system has it's boot audio file and you have your silent boot! :p
[Device Reviews and Information] chagato:
I've found this simple trick but I didn't manage to find the sound file (even inside the boot files :o ) on my phone :

"This is easy to do if your phone is rooted, and requires no modification to any boot animation or anything.

Open a root explorer, go to /system/media/audio/ui.

Rename the following two files as shown below (not mandatory for the names to match mine, they are just for example)

PowerOn.ogg -> PowerOn.ogg.disabled

PowerOff.ogg -> PowerOff.ogg.disabled

From here, you can also get rid of camera and other annoying sounds from the phones UI.

Hope this helps answer your question, but there is no non-root method that guarantees silence. "
[Device Reviews and Information] butcher33:
i've just tried to change the bootaudio.mp3 but was read only and could not delete it :(

any other way (unrroted)
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
nope, this is a system file, the only way to change the boot animations and boot sounds is if you have a rooted phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
Just checked and those 2 aren't in that folder, I think on the DG310 you really have to go to /system/media/ and replace "bootaudio.mp3"

I replaced mine for the Samsung one and it's in sync with the Doogee animation.
[Device Reviews and Information] oroboros74:
Can you share the files? I just find the DG ones annoying!
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
Let me know if it doesn't work.

[Device Reviews and Information] scott86:
Finally got it all sorted out. I was under the impression you had to put the phone in adb mode to transfer the firmware over...

Doing it all from the main screen worked perfectly. Now its up-to-date again, and re-rooted.

How do i actually get access to that folder? I have it rooted(atleast according to root genius, and the kingroot app in my drawer) but when i plug it into my PC, i only have the same folders i saw pre-root. I made sure to enable USB debugging(didnt make a difference) and told windows to display hidden and protected system files. Really getting sick of that doogee theme, esp having to hear it 4+x in a matter of 10 minutes while doing all those updates.

Now if only i could get my xiaomi fitness band to work with this, and a nice silicone case to protect it...

How to change the Bootloader Audio

Actually, no. But on the plus side I don't hear the annoying bam chicka bam bam music when it boots! I'm wondering why it didn't work though (does the MP3 have to have a certain sample rate maybe?)

Anyway, here's what I did:

1. Have root!

2. Use Root Browser

3. Replace the file "bootaudio.mp3" in the folder /system/media/

We've had this problem with the OTA update. Go back a page or two here and look at the discussion between chagato and me and follow his suggestions. Essentially you have to reflash stock ROM, perform *all* updates first, and then root. Best of luck!

rooted

Hi, i read alot of info from this site so thought I would try and give a bit I've done.

Couldn't root with most of suggestions I found but found "iRoot" this worked great and option to unroot after is useful for my banking app.

I used "SDFix" to fix the SD card write permissions and as far as I know it works fine.

I switched my launcher to "Mi Launcher" which runs fine. (all down to taste)

Installed "Notification Bar Delux" for custom shortcuts (changed in KitKat to the top right corner instead of a bar)

Then "Omega StatusBar" for customising the Status bar. (though can't get it transparent)

The biggest problem is the "swipe to wake" feature which keeps waking the screen in the pocket. For that I've installed "Screen Off and Lock" seems to help though would like to remove the feature entirely or disable.

Hope any of this info is useful to someone looking as your info has helped me. :)

I use it and it's really great! A lot easier to flash recovery files (without the need of a PC) and rebooting into recovery of the bootloader (for fastboot).

I've only used CWM previously, but I'm open to TWRP as long as it gets the job done!

Would you be able to post a brief summary of what needs to be done to get the Recovery System up and running on the Doogee? If so, that would be great to get tips from someone who was successful in doing this!

Good enough for navigation?

Hi guys,

I need a reasonably priced phone to be used primarily as a GPS navigator for riding a motorcycle. What I need is:

1. Accurate and fast GPS

2. Screen reasonably readable in sunlight

3. Big size but not huge

4. Decent speaker

5. Enough space to store some maps, maybe some music (how much space is available for apps on Voyager 2 using KitKat?)

6. Bluetooth connection for voice guidance would be nice (I hear this is an issue, but can be solved with root).

7. Does not overheat excessively fast.

My first choice would be the Voyager 2. Can you please tell me where it fails and where it succeeds, according to my requirements? Is there a similar phone that you would recommend that would better suit my needs?

Thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] phonefromchina:

Download minimal ADB and Fastboot on your computer and make sure you have ADB and Fastboot working, because I ran into a problem where I couldn't enter recovery so it was trial and error (had to reflash many times to get it working, and I don't know why some successfully flashed TWRP at the first try). I also could use ADB so I had to try every option in the USB settings (MTP, PTP, Mass storage, CD-Rom). If you need any help I could try to help :)

[Device Reviews and Information] scott86:
Is it bricking your phone, or just not allowing you to update?

Honestly, the updates from doogee dont seem to add anything special, as far as i can tell..... I mean there was the one a few cycles ago that *STOPPED* the screen from being 2 or 3 pixels too high(which fixed itself after you turned off the screen, and turned it back on) but other than that, i have not noticed *any* difference since the original release.

So not being able to update(or having to reflash before you update) isnt that big an issue... the flaws with the phone arnt getting fixed anyway...

Frankly, i'm still amazed its got spelling errors at this point. How lazy do you have to be, to not fix all the messed up spellings(or grammar) in the wake gestures menu? And the main phone app(Dailler. Though its only visible in settings)

The 2 biggest ones for me is how the phone cant seem to shift audio focus without crashing the audio app(Poweramp should momentarily pause when a notification comes in, or if i open a youtube video. Instead, the entire app closes, and i have to restart it to get the song to play[from the beginning] again) and how it cant pair with a xiaomi fitness band.
