Hi jan177,

I plan on getting this phone, if I can root it. How does TWRP rooting work for this? Are there any simple tutorials?

Does the headphone jack work ok on it?

Hi, i tried here and it seems it worked, but it seems that i can't get into recovery because when i press volume+ and power i get this android picture with the message "bad command". Is there something else i could try to get TWRP installed? Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Which TWRP are you using?

Flashing goes correct?

Are you going into recovery after flashing without restarting the system?

Or there is restart of the system in the meantime?

Hi, it seems that the flashing went correct, at least using the SP Flash Tools, i got this message saying that everything went well. The recovery and the scatter file i downloaded from another forum, i don't know if i'm allowed to talk about it, it's in russian. That was the only source of information i found for this smartphone. Anyway, after flashing the recovery nothing happened at the smartphone. I had to manually power it on holding power and volume +, after that i choose recovery, but i can't find how can i flash the root zip file. I tried copying these files to the internal memory and to my microsd card, but i never find a way to flash these files. Any help would be extremely helpful. Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
It is simple. When you start TWRP recovery you should swipe right to allow changes.

Could you please share with me a picture of the TWRP recovery? Because i'm starting to think that this isn't in fact installed at my phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
don' t you think you should show what you have? I have it installed.

It is easier to help you. Show what you see after recovery starts

You can install check root apk. to check if your root is ok
[Device Reviews and Information] tiagao_extremo:
Thanks, you're right. Ok, this is what happened, i installed the recovery, or so i think, using the sp flash tools and the scatter file, ok. Also the drivers were sucessfully installed. Just as a minor note i'm using windows 7 x64 and a 2.0 usb port. I activated the developer options and usb debuggin mode.

After the process i power on the smartphone holding power and volume +, this is what i see:

After that i choose recovery and this is the android picture that it shows:

And finally this is the last picture i see:

Even if i choose apply update from Sd card i am never able to access the internal memory or my micro sd card.

Oh, right, i also installed Root Checker from Play Store, it says that my device isn't rooted.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
You DO NOT have TWRP recovery

You have to try once more

After you choose recovery on your 1 photo your phone should start and you should see TWRP logo
[Device Reviews and Information] tiagao_extremo:
Yes, you're right. I was about to ask your TWRP recovery when i noticed that i was using the original recovery, and not the TWRP. That's the worst part about finding information originally in russian translated to another language. The real TWRP recovery was in another topic. I just installed the way i did before and the first thing i saw was the TWRP logo. I flashed the superSU and now my device is officially rooted. Thanks for your time and your help, jan177. :)
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Yes. ok.

your 2 photo is typical for stock recovery, so that is why it was clear that TWRP is not installed

I caution everybody to flash new ROM. Do it when you know what you are doing.

Perhaps only when you know that the ROM is on OTA.

It looks as if u have chosen wrong action.

Format+ download.

It should be download.

Format+ download went with an error so probably it is formatted and bricked.

Question is does the phone reacts when connected to PC?

If so you should try flash the ROM.

Use different SP Flash tool.

I use 1520

what is the command for unlocking bootloader? i am receiving waiting for device and i have the usb debugging as well as oem unlocking ticked
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
You do not have to do anything with the phone boatloader etc. except what I in many places described.

Just use SPflash .

Download

connect phone.

restart in recovery

restart in system

If you have problems with starting to download then keep the battery, phone turned OFF.

Or start download phone without battery and then put the battery in

East root?

I was able to install TWRP and it seems to be working as I can backup and restore with ease, which is good, because rooting doesn't seem to work for me. I install the supersu ZIP via TWRP and it installs with no problems. However, on boot, the phone hangs as the boot animation. I am thinking it could be due to new software from Doogee, I have DOOGEE-XT5max.20160726 for my version. Can you tell me what version you ran this with?

Thanks,

Jonathan

I just saw this. They mixed up the name of the X5 max's processor, but aside from that, do these instructions look correct and complete to you experts?

http://giveawaytricks.in/root-install-twrp-doogee-x5-max/#comment-37122

Tried it with a variety of MTK drivers with no success. Doogee recommends rooting the device to get rid of the advertising malware they installed, but refers you to Framaroot on their webpage, which doesn't work. No more Doogee products for me.
[Device Reviews and Information] wesgreen:
Where can the drivers be found? The links posted by jan177 above are dead.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
which drivers do you need . win 7 and 10 are attached

[Device Reviews and Information] wesgreen:
Thanks very much for responding, Jan177, and for the drivers. I tried them. I'm using Windows 7/64. Twice I got the green "download succeeded" circle on the flash tool, but then either the same screen as posted above by another poster, (no command), or several lines of chinese characters in blue.

I'm now using No Root Firewall (Play Store) to deal with the ads.

It will alert you of any app trying to connect to the internet. Once you see an app called "com.android.snap" attempting to connect, block it.

I'm using the scatter file in this download from Needrom:

The latest drivers I'm trying I installed (for W7/64) with Mediatek_Driver_Auto_Installer_1.1352.00.

Still no success. Getting the download success message everytime, but then can only boot into stock recovery.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Where from did you get the TWRP?

You have Doogee X5 MAX on MT6580?

If so then attached you have scatter and TWRP

hit thank you if I helped you
[Device Reviews and Information] wesgreen:
Thanks for responding again, jan177, and for the files.

Doogee X5 MAX with MT6580. (I saw on Needrom that there's an Algerian Doogee X5 MAX version with a different processor now!)

The drivers were not the problem, apparently.

I had gotten the TWRP 3.0.2 recovery image from the link to it on Needrom (https://userscloud.com/bgv5h8lylcta). The page "How To Root And Install TWRP For Doogee X5 Max" I linked to above also points to it.

This did NOT work (maybe it's a stock recovery?), but the one you uploaded did. Success!

I noticed it was necessary to remove the battery, as you had written previously, for the flashing to take place.

Should I leave Boot loader unlocking checked in Developer Options after rooting?

Thank you very much for your help.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
No need to bother with bootloader

Glad it solved your problem

I finally managed to modify the weak flash by removing the tiny round white paper sticker in front of the flashbulb (as first suggested on http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=744048&st=960#entry50594069 ).

11 Philips screws need to be removed. The one on the bottom right corner is covered with a Doogee warranty sticker, which needs to be scratched off, voiding the warranty.

Now the flash is working better as a torch. As a flash for the camera it is stronger, but there is a dark spot in the center of the beam. It's still not as strong as on some other phones. Otherwise I kind of like the phone, seems solid and quick after rooting. It better be solid with this weight and size!

Doogee really needs to pay a price for installing malware, and then, after people protest, releasing 2 updates that also contain the malware.

You can use fastboot to update each month. You would flash the boot, system, vendor, and maybe radio and bootloader each month. No loss of data. Then boot into TWRP and flash SuperSU and other mods. A great reference is section 9 in the guide below:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wsmoser2004:
Hello,

I have a stock Nexus 10, Android 5.1.1 I believe, on which I long ago set up full device encryption. It has worked for years. However, I recently let the battery die, and a few days later when I charged it back up and tried to boot it I got the typical "to start Android, draw your pattern" screen, but it wouldn't accept my pattern. I tried all sorts of different variations on the pattern, but nothing worked. At this point I only have a few tries remaining before the device is wiped.

While nothing on the device is priceless, there are some photos and such on there that I'd like to recover. I'm just wondering what my options are, if any, to get the data back. Here's what I've tried so far, with my limited knowledge:

- Soft reset (holding the power button for 15 seconds)

- Wiping cache partition (figured out how to boot into recovery to do this)

Do I have other options? Like perhaps (but not limited to):

- Back up the encrypted data to my computer where I can somehow try to decrypt it without the "wipe countdown"?

- Reset the "wipe countdown" so I at least have a few more tries on the device itself?

Just to clarify, this is full device encryption, not just a lock screen pattern. Thanks for any help or suggestions anyone can provide!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pappiloo:
Hello,

I am currently on

Android Version 4.4.2

Build KOT49H.T530NUUEU1ANK1

Kernel Version 3.4.0-2648317

I got here by performing a complete wipe, then using the thread here by thisisapoorusernamechoice to find the file. I used Odin 10.1 to get the download to the tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 wifi from Costco, also called matisse).

I then flashed TWRP 3.0, then flashed the CF Autoroot and SU to gain root.

Since, then, I tried to install a ROM (Dirty Unicorns Matisse) unsuccessfully. I didnt get past the Samsung Logo. It froze.

I have not found by searching and reading the forum, a well-replicated method to get to Marshmallow.

What is the best way to get to a stable version of Marshmallow and retain root?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks:o
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repey6:
To get MM or another rom based CM 12-13 you need at first update your stock firmware to 5.02 OS (for example via Odin). Then again get TWRP, root and backup your firmware. And only after this you can install DU rom successfully.

Make sure you spend some hours on digesting the immense amount of information in the chart, should you want to learn a lot of nice tricks you may have never thought of before – it certainly pays off.
