[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
Hats off, I don't know how you did that, ended up in a boot loop for me so I just stayed at r21
[General Questions and Answers] Nudeldampf:
Yep, for me as well. So how did you do it? :)
[General Questions and Answers] mikaelbrostrom:
did you flash boot.img and system.img?

i can provide the script i made, i think your bootsignature gets corrupted.

h t t p s : / / mega . nz / #!ANhRgbST!XhwjVtEw7Sw3noEXhy05EScqtznLjVO4UMFWNLoyFmI

unzip patch_21_24.zip on your sdcard in a folder (update). and run

#sh patch.sh

this will apply patches in patch folder.

(after that you can reboot) and make a backup of system... then next step:

the files in system are the one that differ from R21 (compared with md5sum). you need to put them in correct folder in the /system folder. check permissions, or bootloop,

note on recovery files (recovery.sig, recovery-from-boot.p, recoovery_rootcheck, recovery) be carefull :) - you may skip them...
[General Questions and Answers] tvladan:
Good to know that r24 works over russian root. Seems rather complicated to install though. I did not have the time to work on my one flash update or on the black theme for our phone, but i read some tutorials that involve using linux an a kitchen so this week I'll give it a try see what comes out of that. Thanks to all for keeping this thread alive.

On a side note: does anyone else have troubles with wifi? I am using power toggles and sometimes the wifi won't connect, the toggle from the power togle notification bar will turn blue and than back grey, at that poin the system's toggle ( from wifi settings) becomes affected too, having the same behaiviour and wifi won't connect. After a reboot everything comes back to normal... I had this bug on r16 too...
[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
Thanks for sharing your experience friend!

Soon I will put a guide on the first page with credits to everyone about how to do all this and I'll make sure to add you intel in there with credits to you too! I'm just waiting a few more days in case I managed to get an answer for my last concern and pretty much copy-paste Nudeldampf guide.
[General Questions and Answers] tvladan:
Can post it ASAP, Mmodify it later, I am trying to cook a clean rom in rickys kitchen but that tool is for win and still in development...so there are some shortcomings and bugs... Next week if I have the time I plan to instal linux on a separate hdd on my home pc and try a linux kitchen ... To get proper zipalign, deodex, init.d support and more goodies. So guys, pls keep this thread alive, more good things will come.. And for sure a full black theme for lp 5.0. As time and me being a nanny for my baby permits me I will not give up untill we have a propper rom for this phone.!!!
[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
Ok, you got it hehe ;) don't forget to eat between your phone and the baby ;)

[MENTION=6718315]Nudeldampf[/MENTION] could I ask you a quick favor? I believe I changed something on my phone (I'm not sure what) and made it much slower to boot. Could you use your second dg700's chrono to check how much time it takes to boot? I started timing from the moment the white dg700 logo appears on the black screen and stopped it as soon as the android clock appears, got between 1:10 to 1m16. I feel like it's taking much longer but I never timed it before. Thanks friend!
[General Questions and Answers] tvladan:
I did that while drinking my coffee just now....took 2 runs, one with reboot and the other with power off/power on and i got 50 secs and 55 secs, but I also have lots of apps installed and no boot manager to exclude them from the boot sequence! hope this helps! ... also recentlly i discovered that eating in a hurry while standing up is good for your health...:p
[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
WHAAAT!!! Your phone is slow and takes 55 seconds? My phone takes 1m15 when all the Xposed modules are deactivated and apps are frozen.

I did some reading and I believe it might be because of that encryption that this ROM does at the beginning. The more you have data on your phone, the more it slows down the boot. I'm doing more research on the subject but I believe I might prefer a phone with no encryption. I will make a test to remove the encryption later today. I'm writing our guide that I'll put on the first page now, so I'll test when that is finished and I have free time.

That's true about eating standing up in a hurry friend? If so, I'll remember that! You must be doing that a lot with the baby now huh? ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Nudeldampf:
You are a machine! Can't wait to see what you're cooking :D

---------- Post added at 07:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 AM ----------

47 seconds, but I have not many apps installed. Isn't the encryption something that came with Lollipop in general?
[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
Nope, Google realized they made a mistake because it was slowing down phones considerably, so they "quietly backed off" as they said. Seems like they will wait for a future release since Lollipop has so many memory leaks and lag problems. I believe that while our custom ROM has it, the original Doogee ROM did not have encryption. Encryption is kind of useless if you don't use a password or lock pattern anyways, so I'll remove it as I really feel the lag and benchmarks on encrypted Lollipop phones are pretty scary anyways.
[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
Ok guys, I posted the guide on my first post. Do tell me if I forgot one of your names in the credit or if I made mistakes somewhere. There must be a few of them that slipped without me seeing.

[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
Hello friend, I'm trying to update to r24 with your method so I can put screenshots in the guide, but some of your info is not clear. For instance:

"you need to put them in correct folder in the /system folder" -> Isn't what your script is doing?

"check permissions, or bootloop," -> Which permissions are they supposed to have?

"note on recovery files" -> Don't understand any of this.. are we supposed to skip them or not?
[General Questions and Answers] tatarub:
Hey guys.Recently bought the dg700 with lollipop on and I only have 2 issues. that loud camera shutter sound that can't be turned off unless I mute the phone and the small internal storage. How can I solve this problems? At least for repartitioning is it necessary to do all the steps you've written?I'm new at this never rooted a phone before. Million thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] tvladan:
welcome, go to the first page of this thread, follow steps 1 to 11 please. You WILL LOOSE ALL INSTALLED APPS so MAKE a backup with mybackup pro or titanium backup. there is no other simpler way for the moment ... sorry :( ... what is posted there works 100% if done right, so no need to worry.

rooting phones it is not a dangerous or bad thing, it;s not that hard either ... so good luck. If something goes wrong DO NOT DESPAIR ... just return to this thread and we will help you.

[MENTION=1007992]everyone[/MENTION] else

Regarding my work in progres ... so far I managed this:

- some sort of boot loop: black/white logo - > restart -> black/white logo -> restart -> boot to recovery ... this seems very weird to me since it is not a bootloop per se'

- managed to theme my phone to black, but no way to give you a flasable update ... see above :)

- while installing / uninstalling stuff ... f'ked up the system ... now my battery life is 2 days with one annoying wakelock from audiomix and audioin

so ... got some more ideas to check and will report back, the fact is I do not have lots of time to play with flashing stuff to the phone :( but I'll keep trying ...
[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
Hey man, so here's my answer as promised for today :). Seems like tvladan already answered you and that's sort of the answer yep. You need for the moment to do all these steps. My research on only repartitioning is on a dead stop.. nobody offered any help on XDA and Mediatek is not really being helpful. So unless I got an illumination or learn to speak russian to ask the russian hackers how they avoided the boot loop, there's nothing I can do.. so for now yep, you got to do all the steps. You can skip the optional ones by the way. You can even stop right after flashing the ROM, you will have a repartitioned phone that is not rooted if you prefer avoiding this :)

For the camera shutter sound, you have several options:

Try this method using an app

Do all the steps on the first page and install one of the modules to disable it (I think GravityBox and Wanam do it)

Delete the shutter sound in /system/media/sound (backup first!!), but you might have to be rooted for this
[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
Can we get some screenshot of how that looks? I'm curious about that :P.

Keep up the good work and take your time, nobody is in any rush ;)
[General Questions and Answers] tvladan:
by dumb luck I discovered a simpler way to get root in R24 ... it can be done as follows:

install stock r21

update to r24 over wifi or download update package

install custom twrp from first post with spflashtool using r21 official scatter

than from custom twrp go to advanced - root, if the root option is missing there, go to reboot , select reboot to recovery and the recovery will ask you if you want to be rooted, than from android just install superuser.apk when prompted.

tried this 2 times worked every time.

for repartition should use the r21 from 4pda.ru, but just the ebr files, do not forget to format data ... this should be done before installing twrp ... have not tested this step, will try asap ... now going to sleep. will post screens with my theme so far asap too .

Do not worry just remove the batteryb than put itv back after 10 seconds. Do not power upt he phone, Redo steps 5, 6, 7. Power up the phone. Report back here pls.
[General Questions and Answers] tvladan:
Also regarding support for Doogee DG700 Titans 2 in Ricky's kitchen, to add it you need to modify the following file as follows:

go to toos\scripts\checkdevice.bat, open it in notepad++

and at the end before the last line that says :complete add the following code:

echo ########################## DOOGEE >> tmp.txt
del tmp.txt

if %device% == Titans2_DG700 (
set kernel=/dev/bootimg
goto complete
)

save the file, restart the kitchen, the phone should be supported now ... the problem is that the update.zip will be flashed by twrp, but will cause a bootloop (for me at least) because of the updater-script / update-binaries used by the current version of the kitchen. The dev is planning to release a new version this days ... and it might work better for DG700 and for mtk phones.

You can follow the changes and the kitchen (windows) thread here: LINK

Hey, guys! Let's just ask Doogee to update their official rom with 8GB scatter.
[General Questions and Answers] phila_guy:
Thank you for this guide and files, I can confirm that this works on a DG700 alligator back. I used the SP Flash Tool for linux to do the upgrades (I had to modify some files in linux before the phone can be recognized). I had to go all the way back to the Doogee r15 release since I got an error doing the r21 -> r24 upgrade. I did get the "Invalid IEMI" error and fixed that per your instructions. Link2SD linked app, dex and lib files to an ext4 partition causes "Android is Upgrading" for however many apps I have linked every time I reboot which can take a long time so I gave up on using Link2SD for now.
[General Questions and Answers] tvladan:
ok guys, I had tested THIS METHOD: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63260626&postcount=239 on another DG700 and it works, it is easier and less download files needed. So ... it seems that it can be used with no problems ...
[General Questions and Answers] jtheg:
Thanks to the amazing people in this thread my son now has a usable phone.

Everything went OK following the opening thread instructions loads of storage now and recovery.

One question though:

The phone has now detected the ota update to r24 can I allow this?

Or is there a simple way to do it so my son don't upgrade on accident?

Thanks all. Much appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] tvladan:
if you want R24 installed (recommended) do this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63260626&postcount=239 , in a couple of days it should be updated in the first page also. If you update to r24 over the rooted/ repartitioned phone with the method from 4pda.ru you wil get either stuck at first logo, or you will get bootloops, or the update will not flash at all ... so NO ... NO updates if you already repartitioned / rooted the phone. R24 checks for system integrity and will not work ...
[General Questions and Answers] jtheg:

Tried to downgrad so I could get to r24 and I flashed the wrong file file!!

Now phone won't start! When I plug it into laptop it keeps connecting and disconnecting. Anyone got any idea how I can unbrick it?
[General Questions and Answers] tvladan:
it connects / disconnects because you are out of battery ... It hapenned to another user from here. I fixed his phone by using my battery and installing r21 with spflash tools in format all + download mode, and than the whole process described in my linked post ... since we live in the same city that was easy ... You should find a way to charge your battery ... and install r21 than ... or try usbdeview, right click on mtk device, erase it from the pc, and than plug the switched off phone in the pc again ... this has a small chance to work ... but as you describe your situation ... 99% chances are that you are out of battery ...

does the blue led lights up if you plug the phone into the wall charger? ... if so ... let it charge a while and than try again ... if not ... you really must find a way to recharge the battery.

if you are sure that there is still juice in it ... start spflashtools, load r21 scatterfile form the doogee oficiall r21, select format all + download from the dropdown menu, pres the green play button (start) and THAN plug in the phone to the pc .. if there is battery left, this should format all your phone's partitions and write a clean r21 build

please report back after trying all this.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

if you do not have the official r21 build you can get it from here:

[MENTION=4913970]tvladan[/MENTION] I just successfully followed your r24+supersu+4g/2g partition+TWRP method from here :laugh:

I've got the "croc" "skin" backed phone. I think I started with r14, which I'd rooted with vroot. Upgraded to r21 using the download you just posted as directed, all worked :) No IMEI problems.

Only two things confused me a little... after formatting USRDATA I left the cable plugged in so obviously installing EBR1 and EBR2 didn't work... I hit stop in SPFT and unplugged, tried again, worked. Also in your recovery bit you say " using power up select recovery and confirm selection with power down"... which should be volume up/volume down ;)

All good though! Thanks to everyone! My phone is even better than before now :victory:
[General Questions and Answers] tvladan:
You are right sir, thanks for posting back. The cable must be unplugged / plugged back at that moment, also I was reffering to vol up / down ... I'll do the modifications in that post until [MENTION=5074219]NaturalBornCamper[/MENTION] modifies the first page with the new method. Once again, thank you for reporting back!

The phone was fully charged through all this. No blue light when plugging into charger though? Managed to fix by holding volume up when plugging in USB. Then formatted and reinstalled r21. And Ive left it on that as i don't want to take the risk again. Sons happy with it so all good ??

[General Questions and Answers] Nudeldampf:
[MENTION=4913970]tvladan[/MENTION] Sorry for my late reply, I was on vacation and barely on the internet and much to do after I came back to work. Anyway, I've tested your method and can confirm it works flawlessly on my two phones! Great work! :)

Edit: Did all this with Windows 7 x64
[General Questions and Answers] tvladan:
use usbdeview (search google for it), to see if the phone is recognized by the pc. Also, the phone must be recognized when it is switched off, plugged in the usb port, and remain recognized. This seems to be a problem with win10 / drivers ... unfortunately I haven't upgraded yet any of my win7 machines to win10 (and not planning to anytime soon) so I can not offer more support / insight to this problem ...

On a win 7x64 system the phone must be recognized as Preloader USB Vcom port and it will be showed as in the attached jpg bellow in usbdeview. After some seconds it will appear as not connected even if it is plugged in when switched off because the kernel of the android will start charging the phone (blue/green led lights up) and disconnect the preloader. To use it you must select all the needed operations in spflashtools (download, scatter, etc) pres the play button AND THAN CONNECT the phone to the usb. At that moment the spflash tools will take control and establish a permanent connection in order to flash/format the requested files/partitions.
[General Questions and Answers] tvladan:
No worries, I am glad it works! It is way simpler than the 4pda method and it works with the latest r24 update so ... all is good under the sun :D

but if you bootup android and use a file browser can you see the xposed arm 71 zip on sd? Try to mount / unmount the sd card from twrp menu if android sees the files. I can't thik of anything else right now ... maybe bad twrp or corrupted sd card. Also you must have the correct zip for the xposed framework, not the apk file.
