Wiped TWRP

So I rooted the phone and decided to flash snowcatPDA's Android 6.0 and it ended on a bootloop, decided to backup my original ROM (r09) and as I was trying to get into recovery it gives me there's no recovery.

I flashed TWRP again, tried if it worked (it does) and it got out of the bootloop, :confused:

I'm I missing if I ****ed up something?

(also, I could've been a little impatient)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazytiti:
witch and what version of snowcat android6 did you flash ?

the x64 need x64 recovery and boot.

the x32 need x32 recovery and boot.

Anyway after flashing a boot go to recovery on the first reboot otherwise the boot may erase your recovery with the standard one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolygonDust:
I flashed the x32, the version of this thread is x32, no?

well, that's what happened (didn't get to recovery on first reboot), thank you :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
And make sure you choose the 32bit recovery too when deciding for 32bit rom.. Same for 64bit rom + recovery

If you mix it you need to fix it [emoji12] bootloop wise!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
Does anyone think that there will be any chances of finding Nougat kernel sources for the MT6735/MT6735M/MT6735P?

In some of my free time, I'm going to try finding them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaviend:
impossible for now, as like marshmelow

even the great snowcat marshmallow is far from perfect...

and it takes an age waiting doogee official marshmallow update

i think doogee stop the update for mt6735 chip after marshmallow so no nougat
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
I'm not searching for official sources from Doogee, I don't believe they ever had or ever will release the sources for any Android versions.

I mean that if a different company will release them, so that someone such as SnowCat4PDA will be able to adapt them to the Doogee X5 Pro.

By the way, Lenovo has just released the Moto E3 Power, with... you guessed it, the MT6735P, so I hope that they might update it to Nougat (since surprisingly, it's slated to ship with 6.0.1, rather than 6.0) and release the the sources for at least 7.0, if not 7.1.

Update: I had made a mistake, apparently it's called the E3 Power, not E4 Power, so I rectified it.

In addition, it turns out that the Moto E3 also has the MT6735P, so another chance (however slim it may be) for Nougat kernel sources.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaviend:
yup...for me it seems doogee lied when they said they will release android 6 for x5 pro n other *hope not

i hope too ..we welcome any porting project like snowcat did

im okay with just marshmelow
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nakamura:
I got already suspicious when they announced that even x5 (and not F5 which is ludacris and was pushed to the supposed update table only by users pressure) will get marshmallow update, I mean this device is hardly managing lollipop.. [emoji12]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
Good news (although do not get your hopes just yet):

I did a little poking around in the BLU R1 HD subforum, and it's going to get an unofficial CM13 soon (x86, apparently they had no idea that there are x64 kernel sources for the chipset in the wild yet, so I pointed them to SnowCat4PDA's GitHub page).

Additionally, I asked for help in porting CM (preferably 13) over to the Doogee X5 Pro.

And don't get your hopes up yet about this either, but there is a chance (though it may be slim) that BLU may release 7.0 kernel sources (however, it will only be x86).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
I have found Nougat kernel sources for our chipset!

Note: They are still WIP.

https://github.com/olegsvs/android_kernel_ark_benefit_m7_nougat
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
It also looks like SnowCat4PDA is preparing for Nougat on the Doogee X5 Pro and X5S, based upon his site.

getbest.ru

He has been in talks with Team MAD, and has also build a 32-bit test build of 7.0 (not released).

He is in the process of building Nougat for the X5 Pro and X5S nowadays!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
I have finally found the time to update the rom to 3.1.

Unfortunately, I have bad news for NoGAPPS users such as myself, it turns out that the bugs with permissions disappearing from Settings, and not being able to write to external storage, are not bugs, but rather unintentional features.

It turns out that they are not caused by modifications to the /system partition, but rather, because of the package manager being Google's closed source implementation, and not AOSP's, hereby reliant upon Google Play Services, which once removed, prevents some basic features from functioning.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
Update on the reception issue on SnowCat4PDA's MM ROM:

It appears that the reception issue is slightly stranger than we had thought.

Apparently, the 3G reception is generally lower, however, when the phone is far enough from any of the carrier's broadcasting anteannas, then it may (somehow? I don't really understand why or how) be able to be at the strongest possible connection (which would still be 0-1 bars).

I just found this out, since it seems that the closest anteanna to my house seems to be off or something at the moment, so I have no reception at all (I did have two bars earlier) on my Nokia C2-01, while my Doogee X5 Pro manages to connect sometimes, with 0-1 bars.

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

Now this seems to be a shock, Doogee actually released Marsmallow to the Doogee X5 (albeit, only the second revision of the device), however not to the X5 Pro.

Proof about the X5: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzpZ7jq52i28ZTZJejV1T24tbDA/view

This is from the official site: http://www.doogee.cc

And yes, I had checked on my phone's box to verify the site's authenticity.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaviend:
what the official 6.0 only for x5??? ugh...

thx we still have a good news 'bout snowcat 7.0 project...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
Since it is only possible to screenrecord at up to 360p on SnowCat4PDA's ROM, and GravityBox's binary on Marshmallow is still broken, I recommend using Koush's Mirror app for screenrecording at 720p (also, you can directly make a GIF with it, and cast it to other devices), as it only weighs about 4MB.

snowcat has just release the alpha ver. of nougat...

awesome guy!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlUrNiMa:
Any english sources?

I think he is russian, and most information was in a russian community/forum?

(Which is not much help when you need to translate everything like me)

This would be ridiculous if they would ONLY release the Update for the X5 (which has a different chipset etc. afaik)

About 1 year ago DOOGEE's "stuff" didnt seem so bad. At the moment I dont read, see or hear much anymore about anything from them.

(Reviews, Infos, Releases) I think the next cheap china phone for me won't be a DOOGEE again.

(No problems with the quality yet, just frustrating how they communicate stuff, plain lies :eek: )

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
Not only that, but with the help of my mother (she is a native russian speaker, I only understand perhaps two words in russian), I had found out from SnowCat4PDA's post on his website, that there is a chance that he had finally managed to fix the reception issue on it, although currently there is an issue that you can't be heard when others call you, at least from iPhones(?).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlUrNiMa:
That is a good way to get a proper translation i guess. (btw: How comes she is native russian speaker and you didnt learn it, just curious :o )

I hope the reception will get to work as good as on stock 5.1 ROM cause i really wanna use it for LTE reception/speed testing.

Would be somehow funny if ONLY calls from iPhone Users wouldn't work.....at least from my kind of perspective and humor :laugh::laugh::laugh: :p

(Kind of hate Apple cause they rip you off the most and try selling you stupid "inventions" as new "features" etc.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
I know a few words (as well as a few numbers, forgot the rest (I used to be able to count to 29) , and my mother tried teaching me (first classes, and then attempting to teach me herself (which brought better results)), however I had never had any interest in learning russian (much to my grandmother's chagrin).

The teacher kept complaining to my mother that I was drawing instead of participating.

My english is only due to having lived in the U.S. for a few years later in my life, and I had tried learning japanese a few years ago (and if I had the time and someone to speak with (in real life), then I would do so, in order to find members from my nation in the Ryukyuan Islands).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtd2000:
Has anybody here found a solution to the following problems with recording video messages when using apps?

Skype - Video message records, when you press stop choice A is the phone crashes and gives a white screen then goes back to Skype or choice B the video survives but the video playback is speeded up and the audio out of sync. It normally crashes.

Whatsapp - video camera goes dark as if there is bright light behind the subject. So you have an almost black video recording looking like you were in a dark room.

Facebook Messenger - video camera goes black - same as Whatsapp...

Now if I use the built in Camera App the phone records video normally - it's only within an app that this problem occurs.

I'm satisfied with the phone overall (yeah it's cheaply built I know) but the video within an app problem really pisses me off...

Any ideas? :)

I have the exact same problems with my Doogee X6 Pro - so it must be chipset related perhaps???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
Are you on the stock ROM?

Since I'm on SnowCat4PDA's AOSP 6.0 ROM, and I had no issues with Skype recording (although I almost never use Skype, so I may be wrong), I had deleted my Facebook and WhatsApp accounts a long way back, so I have no idea about them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TyS010:
thanks a lot been looking for this for my bricked x5 pro 10 minutes back to life:good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtd2000:
Hi There!

Yes, I'm on the stock ROM - any advantages/disadvantages with the SnowCat ROM?

I'm failry happy with the performance of the phone in general but the in app video recording is a PIA...:eek:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
Yes, there are both advantages and disadvantages.

It's MM, for one, whose features are definitely better (except for Doze) than LP's.

Plus, it's stock AOSP (with GAPPS, as well as Substratum theming support), which means that it's like Nexuses in that sense (not including updates).

And you can be fairly certain that there is no malware (such as XSender).

However, vanilla AOSP is potentially a double-edged sword for power-users/people who prefer more features.

Plus, this ROM comes with Google's package installer, rather than the AOSP equivalent, which is bad news for noGAPPS users, such as myself.

Additionaly, you lose the gestures feature that is on the stock ROM, as it's not implemented here.

Sound quality is better, camera quality may be (slightly) better, and overall the ROM is very stable and smooth.

However, 3G reception is very weak, and LTE simply does not work.

Power off/Reboot take a lot of time to actually occur, unless they are done via root.

Screen recording only works at 480p, and without sound, however, you can use an app for that.

On the latest version of the ROM (3.1), there are battery issues.

SnowCat4PDA is working on an AOSP Nougat ROM currently (pre-Alpha at the moment), and he may have been able to fix the reception issues there, plus the ROM is almoost ready to be a daily driver, there are issues with GAPPS currently, as well as potential issues with calling.

Hello everybody,

I successfully flashed TWRP via Phone flash.

After that I flashed a nice MIUI 8 port rom that I found on needrom.

Everything worked fine. I installed many aopps, did a couple of reboots to check that everythin was fine.

that I left plugged to charge and went to bed.

now, today... it doesn't boot anymore: not even the doogee splash screen.

I can boot pressing vol + and getting the tity menu for recovery fastboot or normal but nothing more.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtd2000:
Sounds like a bit of a mixed outcome then?

I'm generally happy with the performance and reception of the phone (3G & 4G) - way better than my previous Samsung Galaxy A3 for reception...by miles!

If I could just get the camera to work well within applications, I'd be set!

I've just ordered a ZTE Zmax 2 - so the Doogee may well be on the way out for me...

Well I'm currently using a ZTE Z958 which completely blows away the Doogee on all fronts...

The crazy thing is, the ZTE only costs US$50 (plus tax) in the USA...

I'll try to sell on the Doogee as there's just too many compromises with the phone. Pity really, as it's a decent enough performer overall.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
Sorry for the lateness.

I have bad news and good news.

The bad news: While repairing the microUSB port, I accidentally broke the contact on the motherboard where the cellular antennae's cable connects.

This means that I won't be able to help much with anything that has to do with cellular.

The good news: That's the worst of it, I can still use my phone as a miniature tablet (that can also copy to and from SIM cards, since it's only the antennae that was harmed), and find hitherto unknown bugs, such as what happens to GravityBox when you uninstall the dialer (it doesn't show custom shortcuts in the left-bottom corner of the lockscreen, either).

So in short, I'm still around, just expect less from me with anything regarding cellular.

I'm going to move over to a Nexus 4 soon (after I get repaired, it used to belong to a friend of mine), however I am still going to use my Doogee X5 Pro (as a miniature tablet/PC).

Try TWRP 3.0.2, you'll find it on NeedROM.

And don't try unlocking the bootloader, it'll just wipe your device and softbrick it (it will wipe every single partition).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tzul:
[MENTION=7872100]lsmsc[/MENTION] The bootloader isn't really locked on this device. If you've flashed TWRP to the recovery partition, you need to boot the recovery immediately. Because if you first boot Android, the stock recovery will be restored automatically!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriel5:
Which (I know this sounds weird) version of TWRP 3.0.2 did you download?

You need to download the latest from NeedROM, which is compatible with R17.

Oh, and do not attempt to unlock (or lock/relock) your bootloader, it will wipe all of your partitions (system+data+userdata(internal storage)+cache+sdcard), otherwise it is meaningless as to why you can't boot into your recovery.
