Sooo, im from Canada and it won't work over here cause the Band Frequencies are not selected. I can see the right one I need to select, but they are blacked out. Will rooting the phone unlock those bands so I can choose the right frequency for Canada?

Love the phone, just whish I could use it here :P

rooting will not change phone's band freq

why is no custom rom for this phone. . .so sad -_-
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyrakos7:
Hold your horses boys. It's a new phone so it will take some time until there is a custom ROM.

Hopefully someone will port the CyanogenMod to this nice mobile.

Something else, has anyone tried the OTG functions? Can it read a thumb drive properly? I hope it has V4L2 drivers when I receive mine.

Hi, help would be appreciated.

I messed up my X5 Pro with SP Flashtool by flashing a wrong rom and got a hard brick (not connecting to pc). Managed to get out of that by holding volume up button, while connecting to pc and flashing an older rom with SP flashtool.

Now I have an apparantely working phone (can hear the sounds etc.) but the screen is blank. Can't access recovery, it's blank too. Any ideas on what to do?

EDIT

Went from R4 to R12 rom but still no picture, although the backlight is on. Can't find a R14 flashable rom, could anybody source it? Any other ideas to try?

Thanks. That was a twrp-flashable rom, which I couldn't use but the comments there led me on to a russian forum where I found R14 flashable with Flashtool.

SnowCatPDA's android 6

I have problems with the backup account.. everything looks quite normal, it says it is syncing but if I want to manage my backup via Google Drive it says no backup account and redirects me to the screenshot.. it worked before this situation is since the latest version.. I wonder if I can trigger somehow the system to let me choose my account. Of course I signed in in the beginning, right after flashing and backup my data is checked but somehow it won't recognize my backup account...

Would appreciate any help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
It should arrive starting from the end of the month, I think the 27th.

Unfortunately, I can't help with the backup issue as I don't use GApps (aside from WebView, Keyboard, Clock, and Phone, and the last one only on AOSP) though.

I generally remove the rest.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
Yeah thanks, of course I tried everything I could imagine but it seems to be a built in gapps problem with Google backup transport, and I can't figure out any workaround.. So I'm running r15 with xposed in the meantime..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazytiti:
Hello for me it's okay on the phone with latest R15 (although i never try to restore)

But when i log on the drive website and browse it, i don't see anything related to my phone is it normal ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
I'm talking about a specific problem with SnowCatPDA's android 6 version, R15 doesn't have this problem...

When you open Google settings from the phones app drawer you can see under "Connected Apps" which apps use the backup function. If there are non you never set up this backup account. It is especially important to me to get all pictures and messages back from whatsapp after you flash a new Rom...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
Have you updated to version 2.3? I'm currently running x32.. What is written under settings, backup & reset on your phone? Are you able to choose a backup account? Or is it grayed out too? Thanks for replying

Edit: some more details, if someone could help...

The rom I use has a kind of Google backup account problem.. When I first looked in settings, backup & reset, where my email address is supposed to be, it was written:"Backing up to debug only cache" (which of course is useless).*

So I tried: "bmgr transport com.google.android.backup/.BackupTransportService" with terminal emulator and got this:*

Selected transport com.google.android.backup/.BackupTransportService (formerly android/com.android.internal.backup.LocalTransport)

Now I have the message on the screenshot and I still can't choose a Google account for backup.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cannabis4711:
Ah sorry, I tried to flash the recovery "TWRP 3.0.0 (englisch)" and when I enter the recovery mode, there is written: Doogee-X5-Android5.1-V19-2016.03.31. So I don't know if this is the original recovery and I just failed to flash the other recovery? oO...in SP_FLASH_Tool it showed that the recovery flash should have been successfull but now I am not so sure about that any more.

I am using the Doogee X5 by the way (without Pro). I could try to flash the recovery version here from this thread, but I am not sure, if I can use it on my non-Pro-X5?

Thanks a lot!

Edit: I finally got it after installing another recovery (TRWP 2.8.3) for my doogee x5...thanks anyways :).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
No, never use x5 pro software, that will cause problems!

TWRP 3 should look like this, if not than you failed to flash it...

I guess when Googlin needrom.com and doogee x5 you find compatible software.. By the way, no stock recovery is able to flash super su zip...

Hit the like button if could help... Just writing "thanks" is nice but not sustainable... Thanks ?

anyway is someone get an issue of multitouch wrong coordinates on snowcat 6.0 rom? i just get this issue when playing my game,

so basically i pressed navigation button (left corner of screen) + run/jump/atk button (right corner of screen) but the touch coordinate always on the center of screen, how to fix this problem? never get this issue when use official lolipop firmware
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
I never had such an issue, did you flashed the complete folder? Some other guy mixed the partitions with lollipop, which of course causes problems.. I heard that there are some screen calibration apps, maybe it's worth a try..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
I've also heard from some guys that removing the plastic screen protector that comes with phone drastically improved the touch accuracy.

Some of them also switched it out with a hardened glass screen protector, which did not reintroduce those touch issues.

As for me, I had never had any major touch issues with SnowCat4PDA's rom, only with the official rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaviend:
i download snowcat 6.0 x32 from needrom and flash it via flashtool, i think i didnt do anything else..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
Hmm...

Try to recalibrate the touch screen, as Sam Nakamura had suggested, that should take care of it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaviend:
thx moriel,

mybe i should try your advice to takeoff this plastic protector from doogee

in the official rom i also have multitouch issue, but it was rarely
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
My recommendation is to get a hardened glass screen protector, there are plenty of those with a level of 9H for the Doogee X5/X5S/X5 Pro.

I personally don't play video games (been over a year since I had left that world), so until my order arrives from China, I'm sticking with plastic one.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
I don't know if your mother in law is into flashing Roms and knows about rooting but I presume not.. So go with the most stable, stock r15.. If you want to play around with the phone then visit http://www.needrom.com/category/doogee/x5-pro-doogee/ where you can find a lot of possibilities...

By the way, soon a official android 6 update will be launched...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBratt68:
You are very funny!!!! Not my mother in law will flash the rom :silly:

I will flash the rom, but the rom need to be stable and every main function should work.

Do you think that marshmallow comes till august !?

The R15 comes not over OTA!? my phones says, that there is no new update !

Ps. Deutschland - Italien ...OMG
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
Yes [emoji12] Deutschland ??...

Of course not your mother in law is going to flash but can she help herself when something unexpected happens? So better go with stock firmware and the marshmallow update was announced for this week, so with little luck it will be available till August..

And the OTA update function is little strange, my phone also stopped updating on r14 but you can download on needrom.com, I posted previously..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazytiti:
Didn't doogee change something to the hardware of their phone that come with the R15 ?

Is the r15 working on phone that have R14 ?

On mine (stock R15) I try to flash R14 and it wasn't working (bootloop)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
They have changed the display as read on 4pda.ru but nothing that should make it bootloop... My phone was r14 and r15 run perfectly... So why are you flashing r14 on a r15 device anyways? But back to your question, it should work.. Are you sure that you haven't done anything wrong?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazytiti:
I certainly did something wrong :( , i was trying to revive my phone after bricking it in an attempt to root my R15 (maybe that's why it was bootlooping R14)

Happily i had made backup of the original R15 system partitions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
Your get out of jail card [emoji4]

Easy way to root is kingroot, then flashify or rashr to flash custom recovery, then kill kingroot and flash super su zip via twrp...

Or even easier is sp flash tool [emoji12] but pc is needed..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazytiti:
I don't want to approach KingRoot ;)

And i'm a big fan of using my PC. so i go to the flash another recovery route and this was how i brick it (don't know why because the recovery was supposed to work not thrash the system partitions...)

After that i have done many thing and flash many recovery / system, the only thing i could say is that at some time i get a working recovery and then the only system partition that will boot was the one i backup before (althought i have to have a working recovery to be able to backup partition as the stock recovery doesn't allow me to do do it :p )
