[Device Reviews and Information] harmjagerman:
So, I used all the instructions this weekend (still many thanks). It turns out I am not going to use the phone. My wife is going to use the phone. I reset the device (I know, stupid) using factory settings. Afterwards the device was still rooted (ok, that's not so bad). What was bad: the default launcher was missing. I managed to install a new launcher using the ADB-commands, with success (yay). However, when I try to install the Rom for the HT7 Pro (the one that was listed earlier in this topic), the Wireless Update option returns an error message; Settings are stopped. So, that means I cannot install a ROM-update. Is there any way to work around this or am I stuck with a rooted, but not to be updated phone?
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
as I see it you can update via root..
[Device Reviews and Information] harmjagerman:
Eh, you mean King Root?
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
you know that. U said it is rooted.. TWRP or Kingroot . I do not know what you used
[Device Reviews and Information] harmjagerman:
Ok, sorry. I am using Kingroot. There is no option to update available (ROM).
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
I have not used kingroot, but it would be strange if you cannot install new ROM.

anyway

you can remove konigroot, install TWRP and than you can update your phone via TWRP
[Device Reviews and Information] harmjagerman:
I assumed TWRP did not work for the HT7 Pro.

I bought a doogee f5 for my wife last September. It was a presale, going to ship at the beginning of October. It finally shipped at the end of November (not their fault I think).

The parcel reached Spain a couple of weeks later but I never received it. I had to wait 3 months to claim for the insurance (that, luckily, I selected when I purchased the phone), but after that they sent another unit with no problem, which, IIRC, took something less than a month to arrive.

All in all it took 6 months but it's not their fault, so I'd say they are legit.

FWIW, I bought my HT7 pro from a vendor on aliexpress and it took less than a month to arrive (ordered march 13, received april 4).

Feel bad to hear that,

I just purchase ZTE Axon Elite from everbuying.net.

They cut down a price from 469 USD to 199 USD,I pay it by paypal.

A communication on everbuying.net ,seem like a one-way communicate,

from everbuying.net to buyer only.

I didn't find another way to contract the seller such as message box,email or etc...

Cold you share ,how to claim or contract to everbuy.net.

I bought two phones from them. One was Elephone p6000 pro and the other one was HT7 pro which I'm currently using. Both purchases were fine for me.

You may submit a support ticket after logging in (use desktop site instead of mobile site, otherwise you'll not see it), they did reply within a few days.

Good luck mate.
[Device Reviews and Information] lipippo:
Well, as I said, I don't think it's their fault, but doogee's for the delay in the initial shipping and correos' (spanish mail) for the lost parcel.

Any news about the changes or problems with the 2.1.2 ROM?
[Device Reviews and Information] DrWrench:
Checked the new phone with DrWeb and CM Security, they found nothing! 2.1.2 ROM seem to work properly. I'm going to use it for a week under heavy duty and see the results.

Yes, 2.1.2 works fine, no malware detected
[Device Reviews and Information] roxanna118:
I tested the 2.1.2 ROM for 5 days now. Pity no exact changes will be announced. The problems with the touch screen I have still. I have to press hard, so I can scroll undisturbed. I guess that the fault simply lies on the hardware side.

if found this:

504 Gateway Timeout

The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and did not receive a timely response from the upstream server.

In other words: the culprit should neither be (on) your device, nor (at) Google Play -- but in between.

Your connection is not stable during download, and the connection broke.

*or*

Your cache is full, try to clear it.

"go to Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Store and Clear cache and Clear data. Also Clear cache and Clear data for Google Services Framework."

Did it not work for me even download the apk start to install then error not instaled

did you try to clear caches?

i found another solution here on xda:

"Go to system settings>> Accounts>>Google>>remove your Gmail account

Now from settings>>Apps>>All> Force stop, Clear data and cache for Google Play Store, Google Service Framework(Google Play Services) and Download Manager (like in method 1)

Now again go to settings>> Accounts>>Google>>Add your gmail account

Restart your android and then accept all the Google terms and setup Google settings

Rerun Google Play Store and update or install your app."

and i've used perfectly step by step your tutorial, used SP_Flash_Tool v5.1604.00.000

download tab, selected scatter file, pressed download, and connected the phone with the battery in, flashed everything and the green V appeared, unplugged the phone and tried to turn it on. nothing, it stay black. the rom was Stock_rom_212_HT7 from this thread.

now if i connect the phone to the pc with the battery it keeps connecting and disconnecting showing MTK USB PORT (COM6) please any help?
[Device Reviews and Information] Jstame:
Open the SP Flash Tool and load the scatter file from the firmware you are trying to install. Change the option to "Format All + Download" then press the start Download button. Pop the battery out of the phone for a sec then put it back in and connect the phone to the computer. The phone will be wiped completely clean but you should get it back.

Have you installed TWRP properly? WHen?
[Device Reviews and Information] Jstame:
Unplug the cable from your computer. Make sure the Sp Flash Tool is installed directly on your hard drive then reboot your PC (Extract the spflashtool.zip directly to desktop if not sure) Once its back up open the flashtool folder and right click the flash tool exe and run it as "administrator" this time. Load the scatter file, change the option to "Format All + Download" press the start Download button then plug the cable into a different usb port "if possible", once again pop the battery out then back in and connect the phone to the computer. See if that does the trick

Seems like Windows 10 has more issues with SP Flash Tool then other windows versions. Try plugging the phone into the computer while its still on then switch your usb connection type too "mtp" and let it attempt to auto install the drivers directly from the phone. If its successful disconnect and attempt to use the sp flash took as usual. Remember to remove the battery at least for a couple seconds before every attempt to connect it to the flash tool too

Try to use Win 7 .

You can try to flash back stock recovery.img to see if the problem comes from rooting.

BTW you did not have to root by Kingroot to install TWRP. It can be done directly.

Perhaps Kingroot +TWRP is the problem with win 10 drivers
[Device Reviews and Information] dcoelho:
on windows 7 MTKDroid tools detects a doogee dg550 but does not detetect the HT7.

[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
I use win 7 HT7 and HT7 Pro are easily detected

Try flashing stock recovery. tell what happened but I think it is the Kingroot & TWRP because flashing only TWRP did not cause that in my case.

Perhaps you have to flash clean system.img to get rid of Kingroot traces.

Was not simpler just to make FOTA and than just flash TWRP?

I see, however I have blocked system update and some apps that wasn't familiar, maybe that will stop the malwares from installing
[Device Reviews and Information] kilmer.trotter:
Before rooting, i disabled many apps, installed the noroot firewall to block specified apps communication, installed antivir and anti-malware apps, tried to deny apps to modify system setup, but failed. when the phone booting up, before the firewall started, the pre-installed apps turns on the unknown sources setting and installed few bloatwares. the firewall could block them to go to the net, and the antivir and anti-malware apps could alert me, so i could remove it. but it is very annoying. and this happens too when the phone connects to wifi. some app could change the settings, then the bloatwares are free to install.

so i couldn't stop them, decided to install root. it works well, easy to install. then i could remove every infected app, plus some more.

now, the phone is very usable and stable (version is 1.0.8.).

don't forget to install another launcher before rooting, and set it to default.
