Just pre-ordered this one as a gift for my cousin (gave her a cutout of it since her birthday was yesterday :p).

Roughly the same specs as DG310 (which I'm very happy with), but it's 4.5" inch (which kinda makes more sense for the FWVGA screen resolution).

It's apparently built with durability in mind.

CPU: Mediatek 6582 Quad-core 1.3 Ghz

Android: KitKat 4.4

Size (mm): 133.5*68.3*8.8（L×W×H）

Camera: 5.0 MP (back) / 1.3 MP (front)

RAM: 1GB

ROM: 8GB

Dual-sim, 3G, WIFI, BT4.0, GPS, 1800mAh battery by BAK.

Rest of the specs here: http://www.doogee.cc/products_detail/&productId=106.html

It's currently 80$ on Dealextreme + 2 phone cases, from tomorrow to 10/1 82.99$ + an 8GB SD-card.

Is there a way how to root DG280 ?
[Android General] viperasp:
There is a way of rooting dg280. I've done it twice, yet i am not sure how it worked the first time. The second time root genius made it possible.

See attached file.

Good luck.

---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

Also i have made a third attempt at rooting the phone and you should know that in order for any of the above root exploits to work you must not install the r10 update released on february 10th. If this update is already installed you manually flash the full r7 rom image from doogee website. Also after getting root you cannot install the r10 update as this one bricks the phone and to recover you must also flash the full r7 rom image.

The r7 image flashing procedure is also pretty complicated because there is no real guide anywhere. There are some files that need editing, because you will need to disable the checksum verification in the flasher because you will get errors from one of the files, errors which are wrong. Also don't try to put the phone in download mode. To flash it just start the flasher select options (i used format+download) and hit the start button. It is just going to wait for a phone. After this just pull the battery from the phone, put it back (don't touch any buttons on the phone, keep it off) and just connect the usb cable to it. After a few second the flasher will show phone info and progress of format and rom upload.

There is also an issue with the usb phone drivers. You need good ones before any of the above procedures. I really cannot help with this because i already had a good number of compatible drivers installed and i just couldn't tell which is the best for this.

Very poor 2g/3g signal reception ??? any one else has experienced the same?

The phone has very very poor 2g/3g signal reception from the mobile networks. The call voice quality is too bad. Call dropping is frequent all the time and voice is transmitted distorted to the other party in call. I tried the phone with all networks that operate in my country, and the result was the same. The phone shows only 1-2 bars at signal cluster, while the other phones show full bars at the same location. So is anyone experiencing the same? Any fix available? Thank you.

[MENTION=4949586]lorenc75[/MENTION]

I bought the Doogee Leo für my daughter, and she's totally satisfied.

Signal reception is as good as with my Samsung S3, GPS and WiFi is also working good.

I rooted the phone to get a CWM recovery and to deinstall some of the China-Apps.

After 3 Weeks of usage her little brother broke the Micro-USB-Socket while playing Games on the Phone (Charger was plugged in) but that was also no problem, just opened the phone (9 screws) and resoldered the USB-Socket, so it's working again.

All in one I must say, for 80Euros including Shipment from Germany (No Taxes) a good Phone.

Ok, the Flashlight is not the brightest one, but hey.. it was a cheap phone :)

How to Fix the USB-Connector

Hi everyone. Since I had a few requests on how to do the repair of the USB-Connector, I describe it here although it has nothing to do with Android development. Hope it's OK for you.

I just opened the phone (take out everything, loosen 9 screws).

Then I carefully turned over the USB-Board (1 more screw secured with some kind of adhesive tape) after pulling out the antenna connector, microphone and vibration motor.

Then there are the 5 micro-USB-Pins from the connector to the PCB. In order to have the right alignment of the socket, I insterted a MicroUSB plug into the socket. Then i soldered everything new with ENOUGH tin to get it a little more stable. All you need is a calm hand and a fine soldering-tip. Reassembly in opposite order. But double-Check for shortcuts. And if you are not experienced in soldering small parts, I'd suggest you let it do by someone who knows about this to prevent more damage.

Timo
[Android General] ItBoom:
thank you! i was afraid to remove the usb board. it seemed that there are quite a few things connected there :) at the moment i do not have a fine tip though... guess i may just send it to be fixed :crying:

DG280 custom recovery

Hi there,

is anyone willing to share with us where to find / download a custom recovery CWM/TWRP for DG280 running lollipop 5.0 version?

I tried the only one recovery available for dg280 on needroom, but it is not working.

Thank you.
[Android General] Tzul:
Here's a CWM recovery for the DG280. Haven't tested it yet.

I tried to build Carliv Touch Recovery (CTR) and TWRP for the DG280... they kind of worked, but the touch screen is unusable! Maybe those recoveries are lacking the proper drivers.

[Android General] unicastbg:
I have the Lollipop version and managed to get root very easy using this app - http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application. 4.5.0.803 is what I used.

update - can't get ES File Explorer to write to system/app. I always get a not enough space warning. I found out that using this Kingroot app to uninstall system apps opens the door until restart. But you need to remove one system app in order for this to work. Will continue to look for a workaround.

Flashing

Hi,

I failed to root DG280, I regret not reading for example viperasp's hint that from software version r10 it can brick the phone.

I used Kingroot, after second use, it told me everything's fine&rooted. I used then some script that removes Kinguser and puts SuperSU in place of it, it also went OK, SuperSU told it wants to update itself, but it was not possible without restart. But after restart I don't have phone running, so...

Would be really great if someone who went over flashing something to DG280 via some kind of SPFlash tool could share how he/she did that. I got only one tutorial from doogee.cc written in some chinese-english. I downloaded r6 image (the only available at manufacturers website, I don't care about version, just want to have this phone running) and can't flash it... I wonder what version of preloader driver can make this phone visible in SPFlash. Attached "Smartphone multi-port download tool" doesn't see the phone.

Depending on how I'm connecting it - with/without battery, with some/without any keys pressed, it is seen in task manager under ports. Sometimes as "Mediatek DA USB VCOM Port", sometimes it gives continuous appearing/disappearing for ~2sec. of "Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port", sometimes USB VCOM Port or MTK USB Port, and Flash tool won't find anything in these cases. Sometimes "MTK USB Port" is left (not disappearing) and this is promising, because Flash tool finds one Com port and displays "COM49 + N/A, scan failed".

If I only got it to display both Preloader COM and MTK USB Port so I think I could do flashing. But how to achieve this?

I tried this on Win XP 386x and win10 x64, same results.

Maybe someone has some knowledge now and is kind enough to share/give some tips? Would be great :)
[Android General] gerstavros:
Check my guide here: https://translate.google.com/transl....gr/forum/showthread.php?p=4883180&edit-text=

Use the drivers from the link there with the autoinstaller. You 'll not have any problem. Flash the latest Croatia Lollipop firmware (find it at needrom.com). And next time, after rooting with kingroot, dont replace it with supersu or other app. Keep kinguser ;)
[Android General] qwerty63:
Thanks

Thanks a million for your help :) Its a bit painfull to read translated pages, but, the best thing was pointing me at needrom which I forgot to check when looking for a solution. And there are few roms for DG280 to download. So now I installed new drivers and followed very easy and simple instructions first from http://www.needrom.com/download/ori...m-with-6gb-system-partition-and-cwm-recovery/, connected phone with battery and power+VolDown and SPFlash detected phone and downloaded to it all packages in preloader mode (took 3minutes) which ended in green V-tick.

The not so funny thing was that after that I thought my phone is useless, didn't react on any keypress, was not seen by computer via USB and even didn't charge battery :) Then I discovered that, when connecting without buttery and holding VolUp, it is being detected as MTK USB Port and SPFlash starts flashing. I tried every ROM from needrom which resulted in "Download DA 100%" and everything ended in "BROM Error: D_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)". I tried same ROM again and then all the others, the last one was your Croatian, that was the only one that SPFlash successfully downloaded to phone which is now working as a casual Android phone, I just need to fix IMEIs that disappeared :)

So thanks again :)

Any thoughts what caused my problems? Was it upgrading first from Android 5 to Android 4.4?

And btw., could you recommend some CWM/TWRP Recovery that can be flashed now?
[Android General] gerstavros:
Not sure why such problems occured to you. About imei, there is a tool that creates the imei file and then you copy it to /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ or something like that. If you don't find a solution send me a pm with your imeis to send you the correct file. There is no custom recovery online for Android 5 DG280. I had ported one but doesn't see any internal storage or sdcard, works only with adb sideload, no time to fix that, maybe i ve deleted it also :p
[Android General] qwerty63:
To fix IMEIs the easiest was to use Chamelephon app from G.store.

If you or someone manage to port recovery for Lollipop so please share information here.

Thanks again, I can stop playing (like that but don't have time :( ) and start using this phone :)
[Android General] Snjperman:
Just got this phone, it came with lollipop, im having an issue where the battery just drops dead, sometimes it drains a bit but often from low 90s high 80s and dies to the point where it wont turn on intil i charge it a bit.

Anyone know what the issue is and hopefully how to fix?
[Android General] qwerty63:
My bet is that battery is failing and easiest would be to buy an original new one for ~$6 at DX/Aliexpress and live with the old one until the new one arrives.
[Android General] qwerty63:
Anyone managed to have working custom recovery for Lollipop for this phone?

Also, I need a ROM with 5-6GB Internal memory for apps (and mini or no internal SD). I was playing with EBReditor/EBRtweak tools and they work, but only once, direct after flashing them. After first restart phone is stuck at Doogee start logo. Then only flashing original EBRs work...

edit: OK, I managed it, finally.

The biggest problem was signing in at 4pda.ru... Some good people there did the job, I just downloaded good EBR1,EBR2 and MBR files (and maybe also userdata.img is important, not sure but I used it).

So big thanks and all credits go to FULLHDMAN and others from 4pda.ru, I hope sharing these files here is a good thing to do.

What you need to do to have 6GB for apps and 88mb for internal SD card with nice Lollipop is to:

1. download best croatian rom from needrom (no problem as it's multilanguage) www .needrom. com/download/doogee-dg280-le0-lp and unpack files to a folder

2. download patched EBR and other files from mega. nz/#!AdBDnAKT!O4umuov5lzMIHem69ulRtZDsvi_CP6OpV17WDWjUbIQ and unpack them to the same folder, overwriting old files

3. use the provided scatter file to upload ROM to your Doogee DG280. I used "format all&download" option because I got some PMT error and it was not possible to upload only needed files.

Now it's finally possible to use this phone, pity that Doogee don't provide us with well-thought-out ROMs and users have to figure out by themselves how to use their phones.

Now I need only working recovery but it's not a prio for me. Almost working TWRP can be downloaded at first post for similar phone here http://xdaforums.com/general/help/root-doogee-dg700-android-5-0-lollipop-t3112358 , the only problem is that touch is not working so no use for it...

[Android General] mcmonkeys1:
Dude, did you actually resolder the connectors as well? of just fasten it to the board with the edges? Does it connect correctly, or do you have to wiggle around to get it charging/connect to PC?
[Android General] gerstavros:
Generally it connects ok with just fastening. You must have a good soldering station (with temperature controller of course, at 150~200°C, simple soldering irons have much higher temperature and it will destroy the usb port internally as it haves plastic) and a very thin tip.

Better buy at 10$ the whole subboard from aliexpress and have it new.
[Android General] mcmonkeys1:
Good to know.

Yeah I was looking at the replacement USB boards, you would still need to do some soldering with them too I think. Not quite as difficult though I assume, need to take that phone apart again.
[Android General] gerstavros:
In the spare board, you just solder the motor and the microphone, it's more simple and sure

[Android General] nikoleman:
If you got blank IMEIs after flashing, there is a much easier fix that doesn't require rooting. Go to engineer mode directly from the phone

1. Open the phone dial

2. Dial *#*#3646633#*#*

3. Go to GPRS option

4. Type desired imei and tap on WRITE IMEI (in my case, the original imeis as they were gone with the rooting)

5. Reboot the phone and you are done.

Hello,

I own a mtk phone, a Wiko Rainbow (Wiko -- a french low cost phone brand) and I recently got a quite awfuling problem: the sdcard is no more recognized afetr having been formatted The sdcard of the phone was no more recognized on any PC for some time. So I decided to format it so this issue be fixed. Then I did.

But now, the phone doesn't recognized the sdcard at all. No way to see it in phone browser. the sdacrd doesn't appear in Settings> memory too. I tried many kind of formatting : fast formatting, or not with Windows 8.1, I also delete the FAT 32 partition on sdcard, then recreate it in FAT32... No more success...

So I tried to access trough adb but no success...I get a strange error I've never seen when trying to cd to usual mouting point of sdcard (/mnt/sdcard1/) The error: Transport endpoint is not connected. Any idea so I recover my sdcard please ? that's really boring !

Thanks in advance

The phone has a stock recovery, is running android 4.4.2 KitKat, and is rooted.

[Edit] tested with an other Wiko Rainbow (which had some sdcard problem too) and same issue !! Exactly the same ! sdcard no more recognized with "Transport endpoint is not connected." issue trough adb ! I precise I used an other sdcard, but same brand that the first

So, to resume we have 2 phones Wiko Rainbow, 2 Samsung class 10 SDHC card, and exactly the same issue for the 2 devices ! Problem can't be software, because it's been updated some days ago for the both smartphones, and the problem didn't solve.

So I tend to think the samsung sdcard may be defective, due to too many R/W perhaps ? I have no idea.... Can somenone enlight me ?

Thanks in advance

HI

I just received an email from HTC's sales representative in the UK

http://www.devicewire.com/

I registered my details on the HTC Europe site when the Advantage was announced, and this was an email regarding my registration, so I believe the date they give of April 9th is probably 99.9% accurate.

The email includes details of free delivery in UK, and a discount of 5% for people who registered

Standard Price = 679.99

(Includes 118.99 vat)

Price without vat for me = 561.00 ($1098)

561.00 - 5% discount (28.05)= 532.95

Not a bad price and may work out cheaper than buying from mobileplanet.com in the USA

Then i go to TWRP to factory reset the phone, but ACCIDENTIALLY, i also wipe the system. Then when i want to reboot the phone, it said "NO ROM installed"

I download Nexus Experience rom for moto X, then, i pushed it into internal storage using adb. But when i flashed it, it said failed! NO MD5 file found

Flash the stock firmware again. Same Android version that was on it or higher. NOT a lower version. If the Ota did flash, then you need to flash that version. Best to anyway really, to be safe.
