First;

Try uninstalling the driver in Device Manager (on your PC) while the phone in plugged in.

Unplug the phone.

Then uninstall Kingo Root.

Then restart the PC.

Then;

Now try installing PDAnet+ while the phone is still unplugged and during the install when it ask for what phone you have select HTC (that worked for me).

Re-install Kingo Root

Restart the PC

Open Kingo Root and plug the phone ...

If this doesn't work then someone else might have to try to help! :(
[Device Reviews and Information] Raj.R:
thanks, But i just went through earlier pages of this thread and people mentioned the root genius "shuame dot com / en / root" was able to root their phone. So i tried it too and worked with 1 click. Now my phone is rooted again. Pretty easy.

For users like me, looking for root access again. Make sure to follow these steps.

All Credit goes to people here on this thread for posting this info. i am just just copying and pasting here for convenience for people.

To get into Engineer Mode you can call to *#*#3646633#*#*

Engineer Mode - Engineer Mode (MTK) - Log and Debugging - User2Root. There you choose ROOT.

Now you check mark the usb debugging option in settings. Now you connect the phone to computer and start root genius app and let it do it's work.

If you are still not successful. Try downloading usb drivers mentioned in above post.

Hey, I tried to install TWRP but when I reboot into recovery I get stuck with the Doogee logo?
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:
Try reinstalling it... Did it give any error when installing?

(Just another thing... My Windows Username ("Luís") had a special character (the "í"). I discovered that because of that special character many programms don't work correcty. TWRP magic installer is one of them! So I created another windows account without a special character and bang! I worked! It may not be your problem but it might help someone. If your windows username has a special character and something doesn't work... Think about this... and create a new account) :D

Can someone tell me where I can find the Stock ROM for this device, I'm trying to port a ROM for this device?
[Device Reviews and Information] AlisPT:
You can find it on needrom, search for dg310 and youll get one. It doesnt have the latests ota uptates but you definitely dont need those! Ask us if you need help with the port!
[Device Reviews and Information] _JoaoCampos:
Wifi and GPS are good on my end.

Root is as easy as the vast majority of devices :P

The lack of roms is not exactly its fault.

I tried the ambitious task of porting CM11 (from here) but failed because CM11 is Android 4.4.4 while our rom is 4.4.2 :P
[Device Reviews and Information] haustlauf:
Rooting the DG310

It was quite a hassle, but I managed to root my phone using different tools.

The drivers I used were the USB ADB VCOM drivers by installing PDAnet+.

Furthermore I used SP Flash Tool (any 3.xx+ version will do, I think) to flash my phone completely using the scatterfile DooGee provided in an official firmware release (google "DG310 firmware", I downloaded it off Vondroid), but you can make your own scatterfile by using MTK Droid Tools.

Afterwards I was able to push the SuperSU package into my system folder by using the temporary root options in the Engineer Mode ("*#*#3646633#*#*"). When I first rooted my phone, this was enough. I have performed a full wipe and reflash just a few days back, because I messed around with the system too much. If this method so far has not worked for you, I recommend using VRoot. In spite of the worthless Chinese applications that are installed beside the Chinese root application, it does work. When it does, you can just download SuperSU and update it. Afterwards you can delete all the Chinese applications. Also, the Chinese translation for "Yes" is always the right one, I believe. Usually it is highlighted in blue.

I hope this helps you. I loved this phone before it was rooted, but it is simply amazing when you tweak the phone down to the bones. Best buy I have made in years for this price.
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
somehow it looks like mine has a non working GPS, it kind of works when on high accuracy is selected but completely stops working if anything else is selected.

nope, just look at the previous pages, lots of people are asking help because they can't seem to be able to do it.

2014/08/06 - any luck?

Hi,

I tried baidu both in Chinese and in English, no go :(

Tried the vroot package from doogee, and it claims to root the phone, but post reboot the apps trying to get root just hangs and times out.

Also tried to install various versions of supersu from recovery, but they all fail to install

Should also mention that on reboot the phone reports 'unfortunately vroot has stopped'

Anyone had any luck with this version of the firmware?

J
[Device Reviews and Information] Leka5:
You test Kingo Root?
[Device Reviews and Information] jsorensen:
I hadn't, but running it now - it's been running for 15 minutes and seems to spin in a loop saying something about downloading requisite files and then testing root condition .... repeat....

I wonder if the vroot process messed up the phone - I can't uninstall vroot as it was put on there as a system app :(
[Device Reviews and Information] jsorensen:
Looks like the sjroot app will do the trick, at least it comes up with a symbol that looks like success, but then the kinguser root manager conflicts with vroot ... :(

Does anyone have a ROM backup they should share so I can reflash the phone and start from scratch?

Thanks

[Device Reviews and Information] grungemann:
Hi,

I just received my THL T6S which have the same spec as the dg310. I had managed to root and create cwm for it by using rom dump method. I did all this by refering to link and the links available from the page.

One thing though, the cwm is upside down, at least for my device. Better than nothing.. lol.

Good luck guys.
[Device Reviews and Information] _JoaoCampos:
Should be said, the T6S's processor is an inferior version of the 6582(m), with noticeable lower scores on Antutu.
[Device Reviews and Information] voiceferous:
Could anyone please post an honest review of the phone? I contemplated buying the DG800, but read it was riddled with issues rendering from weak battery and wifi to buggy software and crappy touch screen.

[Device Reviews and Information] Libor1:
I Have it since 2 days, nice look, runs smoothly, Wifi OK around the house, don't have datas, but 3G is indicated, Voice quality OK, battery normal usage - few calls + Wifi browsing/2h+mails+ messages (no gamming) 1 day sure OK, GPS navi works too (fix slower than Moto g 4g) takes 2-3 minutes, I need to drive to test it more, camera only 5MB, but not bad pictures, Software all there, runns OK. Display seems to be weaker comparing my Moto - quite a chalange moving the icoons arround - but managed finnaly, noticed scratches on the display - glass would need protector, taping less responsive then Moto G, aps are running without probs only Navigation stopped once, gestures running OK,tried to root with bandu without success yet - waiting for some advices here dont want to brick it. Later more.
[Device Reviews and Information] jsorensen:
Not done much with mine yet, but it seems to be OK. Decent build quality, the screen is OK, the camera does fine (and yes 5MP is just fine for a phone). It seems snappy enough too and a big plus it does WCDMA 1900 in addition to the standard 850/2100.

Main issue I haven't managed to root it yet, which is the biggest minus in my book.

It's not an exceptional phone, but at < $100, it seems very good value for money.

J
[Device Reviews and Information] voiceferous:
Could you tell me more on the WIFI, battery and GPS specifically?

How's the battery on standby?

Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] _JoaoCampos:
Still waiting for mine, but isn't the Moto G about 100$ more expensive?

This one has pretty much the same specs for 88$! To people on a very tight budget like me, it's an amazing phone at an unbeatable price.
[Device Reviews and Information] voiceferous:
So long as it's actually a phone and not resembling a phone. Else those 88$ will seem like a very bad investment. Please post your opinion when you have to chance to play with it.

I have the chance to buy an Asus Fonepad 7 ME175CG version for about 130$ - brand new with 2-year warranty from an established, local company. It's a 7" IPS display, Intel Atom CPU 2x2, 1GB ram and dual SIM 3G Phablet. I guess I'm leaning towards that. It costs more, but at least I know what I'm getting. Haven't yet decided.
[Device Reviews and Information] nickdollahz:
I just managed to root this device. It wasn't very easy either. You gotta follow the normal procedure for MTK devices.. Which is flashing CWM and then rooting with MTK Droid Tools. There is a tutorial here. I got stuck on a few parts that are different on this phone. So feel free to PM about how it is done.
[Device Reviews and Information] jsorensen:
695

OK, I left mine on standby with a single SIM in it for a couple of days and the battery still claims over 90% after two days ..... GPS seems rather good for a cheap phone, I could get a lock in less than 30 seconds sitting inside my home office through the sky-light and the signal quality was pretty good. I am getting *way* better GPS readings on the Doogee than I get on my older THL T11.

WiFi seems fine, haven't done any serious measurement of it, but had no issues.

All in all I just need to try out some of the examples for rooting that have been proposed - if I can root it, I'd say it's a real win win deal.

Thanks, will have to try this out - if you managed to do a flash image, any chance you would be able to share it?

J
[Device Reviews and Information] nickdollahz:
Not sure what you are looking for exactly. I will attach CWM though. There are no Full roms released yet. The backup I use isn't fully stock to begin with. Wish I had made a back up before fiddling with everything. I ended up trying that vroot first.. Bad idea. I'm sure doogee will release a Full rom soon. ( I Hope)

Successful rooting Doogee DG310 Voyager2

I've flashed self-made CWM Recovery and rooted DG310 by flashing UPDATE-SuperSU 2.02 with CWM.

I made my CWM Recovery according to instructions from this post . Then I prepared backups, one of them before flashing UPDATE-SuperSU 2.02 and another one after rooting. I used MtkDroidTools_v253 and SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1316.0.150 . So everyone can find my results here (all you need: SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1316.0.150, MtkDroidTools_v253, UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02, VOYAGER2-DG310_CWM_v5.5.0.4_recovery, VOYAGER2-DG310_backup_stock-4.4.2, VOYAGER2-DG310_Stock&Root-4.4.2backup in one place).

What changes/modifications have you been able to make to your rooted phone?
[Device Reviews and Information] Benz83:
:mad: i cant understand why not for me! did you install root and busy box? what firmware did you have? can make a copy of ROM?

I try with it but not work. Seems all ok but when i go to app and try to move to SD , not work, only on the device i can move.

Not on the external sd.

I try also app2sd and similar.

can you make a screenshot of this selection?
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
ah I see what you mean, I though you only wanted the SD fix for Kitkat ... if you want to move app data to the external SD card the only app that worked for me was GL to SD, I tried everything else and it seems Doogee did something to the ROM because even with scripts in a terminal through busybox didn't worked!

GL to SD though it's not perfect and sometimes games stop working, I have to uninstall and reinstall to make them work again. Seems random.

I followed the tutorial for porting from the same chipset but the ROM I choose used a custom kernel (and it's newer).

We should find a way to maybe update our kernel to try out his ROM.

P.S: The ROM is this one:

http://xdaforums.com/android/develo...-gionee-p4-t2936120/post57564659#post57564659

The ROM is only flashable using CWM I think.

With the new free HERE Beta navigation app, I got a strange issue.

The HERE app loads the maps only in the phone internal memory.

Not on my installed external SDCARD.

The program has an option for the location where to put the maps.

But it only displays the phone memory as an option. There is no other choice available.

The app functions otherwise flawlessly.

So, can someone else install the maps on their EXTSDCARD? :confused:

Is this a general DooGee problem, or just one on my phone?

SDcard functions just fine.

MapNavigator (different nav app) for example, has no problems installing the maps on my SDcard.

I have the same problem with HERE, plus it doesn't work, my location is always somewhere in Berlin Germany ... I'm in Canada!
[Device Reviews and Information] normahn:
I have the same issue. One way around it; start HERE, then go to your storage, unmount the SD Card and then remount the SD Card. Once I do that, HERE shows the internal SD Card.
[Device Reviews and Information] _JoaoCampos:
It's a KitKat issue with sdcard write permissions. There's an app that supposedly fixes it inthe play store but for me the only thing that worked was this Xposed module: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/kitkat-sd-card-access-t2790992
[Device Reviews and Information] Housekeeper:
@ WakedPaul

I'm glad that i'm not the only one with this problem...

The Berlin starting point is a normal thing if HERE does not know where it is.

Apparently you have a faulty GPS in your phone.

@ normahn

Thanks for the tip!

When I try your suggestion, it seems to resolve the issue.

But then HERE says that there is no space to download any maps: 0 GB free memory.

And the menu setting is back to 'phone memory'. Just like in the beginning.

So, things are still going wrong on my phone...

@ _JoaoCampos

I have already used the SDFix app from the Play Store. I did not make any difference.

But I will look into Xposed. Let's hope it can solve this.

Thanks for the tip.
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
That's what I'm assuming because Maps only works when the GPS is set to high accuracy (but somehow doesn't work with HERE).
[Device Reviews and Information] Housekeeper:
Well, even with Xposed installed and the SDfix module, there is no change in HERE's behavior.

A HERE map was created on the external SD card. With some bunch of files.

So there is 'contact' between HERE and the card....
[Device Reviews and Information] Pitbull_Raven:
tl;dr

Mom just bought herself one of these as an "upgrade" from a Huawei Ascend G630. She wanted to be able to install "more apps and games". The G630 is pitiful and after installing Chrome, 2 Angry Birds, and VoipBuster, the device imediatly started complaining it didn't have enough space for Google Hangouts update. This device, I guess will be even worse.

Question: could someone point to a root method that'll work and tell me if there are custom roms that allow to use external sd as storage for apps?
[Device Reviews and Information] WakedPaul:
there are plenty in this thread, you can look for Kingo or Root Genius (if I remember right)

no custom ROMs but you can use Xposed for customization, SDFix and GL to SD to move apps data to the external SD card.
[Device Reviews and Information] Pitbull_Raven:
Thanks. I'll give it a go.
[Device Reviews and Information] Galaphile:
Well any PC version did not work anymore since the last update to root.

Got rid of all drivers with USBDeview

tried kingoroot and root genius with default drivers, with PDANET+ drivers, default ADBDriverpack (Cleaning up eachtime) and nothing worked.

then i tried to live boldly and downloaded the chinese APK of Root Genius and installed it on my device...

Not being able to read chinese i tapped the logical looking icons until i got at the green circle which said "blablablaROOT" i pressed it....... Voila rooted in a couple of secs....

so if all fails.... try the apk :) (http://www.shuame.com/root/ chinese site, the button with the droid....)

I used Google Camera for a while but the stock camera app is better because of the zero shutter delay option (Google Camera and other camera I try don't have that option, so you'll have to wait 2-3 seconds before it takes a picture, every time).

The camera itself isn't great, so other apps won't really help.

The camera apps I tried ;

Google Camera

Camera MX

Camera360 (useless app IMO since it only takes pictures, no filming)

For the boot audio, it's simple, you only need to replace the file "bootaudio.mp3", it's in the folder /system/media/
