BTW The dying android :) means no custom recovery is installed for Y6 , no fastboot command whatsoever

And yes, Y6 and most new android phones from Marshmallow and newer *(edit: ) stock ROMs, don't like to mess with their system partition, one should select system as read-only :)

Glad you made it through and learned a bit of it

Bootloop

It appears I've soft-bricked my Y6.

I've installed TWRP 3.03 as above and can boot into it but when I try to do a normal reboot I'm stuck in a boot loop.

How do I get to this stage - "Do not run system , but to bootloader first , accept modifications and whoala..." Is that when you first run TWRP?

In the Mount section of TWRP "System" is not ticked but the button "Mount as readonly" is.

If I select Fastboot it hangs. Normal boot hangs. Boot into Recovery is fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Y6 Max:*install recovery with fastboot in Ubuntu Linux

Hello,

thank you for this very useful thread. Just want to add some information on installing the recovery image on the Doogee Y6 Max via fastboot in Ubuntu Linux

I've followed this instructions with some minor (but important)*changes.

First useful information:*to enter in the fastboot mode of the Y6 max do the follow:

- power off your phone

- push togheter Volume up and Power button

now you will see a menu with three options. Move the arrow with Volume up and select "fastboot". Then press Volume down.

You are now in fastboot mode.

Connect your phone via USB to the computer.

Open a terminal and:

- unlock OEM as described in the tutorial linked above.

- install your recovery.img as described in the tutorial linked above

- re-lock the OEM with this command:

sudo fastboot oem lock

otherwise your phone won't boot.

Then power off your phone and enter in the menu described above pressing toghether Volume up and Power.

Now select "Recovery" and you are done.

Review (Part 2)

Benchmarks

I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.

3DMark – GPU Performance is mediocre, the Full HD doesn't help here.

AndroBench – eMMC Performance is great as regards the Reading Speed, decent for the Writing Speed.

Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.

Epic Citadel – 3D performance isn't so good, the Mali-720MP3 struggles to handle 1080p Games.

GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (8x Cortex-A53).

CPU

Compute

GFXBench – There are no chances to see good results here, overkill for the device.

PCMark – Standard MT6753 Performance here, with some decreased scores due to the 1080p screen.

Work 2.0

Computer Vision

Storage

Work 1.0

Vellamo – Nothing to say about it, decent.

Well, even though i am happy to see that CUBOT used a Full HD screen on this device, i would have expected a better SOC because, as you can clearly see, the old MT6753 GPU is just not enough to handle this screen resolution.

Conclusions

I'm happy to see that CUBOT doesn't cooperate anymore with CheetahMobile, providing the best Android Experience even though the Performance isn't great. Except this issue, everything else is just fine. Great Screen, Fantastic Fingerprint Scanner and Solid Build Quality.

I hope to see some improvements with the next OTA updates to improve Battery Life and Camera Quality.

So, do I recommend it? Yes, unless you manage to find something better at the same price.

Pros:

Superb Screen Brightness

Excellent Fingerprint Sensor

Solid Metal Chassis

WiFi 5GHz Support

Notification LED (even though a bit limited)

Gyroscope & Magnetometer Sensors

Cons:

Camera Quality needs to be improved

Low GPU Performance

Slow Charging Times (1A maximum, no Quick Charge)

Insufficient Battery Life

Smart Wake, gesture to turn on/off display by tap on it or to start apps etc.

News,

Youtube,

Duo, (google video chat)

TalkBack,

more... ;)

Security improve by update a little if password is used, request is now befor pin of sim.

If you like to install TWRP, run OTA update first or you have to flash stock-rom befor you can upate to V8.

edit:

Direct update from V2 to V8 did not work. First i had to install V7 to get OTA V8 update...

This maybe trigger V8 is not a full stock rom ;)

Since i packed an aroma installer for a Lollipop device i decided to build one for the cubot cheetah:

Cubot+Cheetah+2+toBsucht+aroma+1.1.part1.rar

Cubot+Cheetah+2+toBsucht+aroma+1.1.part2.rar

The new download contain all system app, including the entire priv-app system, sounds (system/media/) < all taken from stock-rom v08

3 bootanimation, launcher / keyboard mod xperia, all applications from the previous publication

.....more

It should be useful for restoring deleted system applications. It should be useful to set up a Cubot cheetah after installing TWRP.

previous publication

You can flash those app:

FileExplorer_v5.1.3.0

[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
Hi guys, I just got the Cheetah 2 a couple of days ago, updated to Nougat 7 and wanted to root. I followed the Unlock Bootloader (this bit worked) and flash TWRP but the TWRP won't open. When I flashed it the CMD window confirmed it had tranferred and the device confirmed in tiny text also but the device will only boot to stock recovery.

I'm guessing this version of TWRP won't work on Cheetah2 with Nougat 7, so if anyone finds one that does can you please let us know here. I will do the same if I find one. Thanks guys!
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
RoastPorkDinner i got same and no root permission. ..

However still no xposed for Nougat. Now i swipe to my Marshmallow v08 backup which already seems to have Nougat features by modding as shown.

1. edit:

Guessing it´s our fault. We forgotten to unlock to bootloader twice..kind of tricky. At the moment i´m still on v07 since i do not unlock bootloader (2x) befor flashing TWRP img.

2. edit:

Finally i am back on v08 but lost all files and pictures from internal standard floders: download, DCIM, bluetooth, etc.

I do not know how to recover them with TWRP or Titanium backup. If i use twrp to restore data partion only i am not able to get files back.

So if someone like to recover that i suggest to backup those folders manuel.

Yesterday i liked to replace superSU with Magisk but installation failed on a boot.img error. Maybe someone else got Magisk as superSU replacement?
[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
I think I'll wait, I can't be bothered to roll back to Marshmallow, takes to long to set my damned phone up how I like it!

Something will come along soon to provide root access, I'm sure :eek:
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
Just install TWRP to get root access, should work with Nougat but you have to setup your phone again after unlock bootloader.

You can backup with stock recovery but that only works if you fail on TWRP installation ;) ..stock backups can not loaded with twrp.

If you got TWRP (root) you can restore any app with titanium backup

Yeah wait some days i´m going to build a flashable* rom from the Nougat stock. As i said, i stay on Marshmallow for xposed modules.

*most likely for TWRP

Download all 3 parts into one floder then you can extract nougat update.

---------------------------

If someone found an alternative tool to enable root it would be nice to reply. With root you can flash recovery.img via flashify

----------reupload nougat aroma installer

Cubot Cheetah 2 Nougat aroma 1.0b

-requires twrp ;)

-download all 3 parts to extract the nougat.zip rom

Guessing can not be used to update from Marshmallow (API23) to Nougat (API24) since i packed whole system but not boot.img :confused:

As usual backup befor flash
[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
I already mentioned I unlocked bootloader successfully, but TWRP wont flash. Fastboot says it has transferred to phone successfully but only stock recovery will open, no sign of TWRP :confused:

I think a new TWRP for Nougat on the Cheetah 2 is required. I even tried to temporary flash the TWRP you provided with "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img" no joy for this either.:mad:
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
That happend to me if i unlock bootloader only once or false. Yes, i also transfered recovery.img and got an success message if i unlocked bootloader just once or flase!

By the way the Nougat aroma rom is fully re-uploaded

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/zfc9h5x8nfty8/Nougat
[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
Ok, I want to try and port TWRP for Cheetah 2 Nougat... any idea how I can get the Stock Recovery.img from Nougat??

I'm new to this kind of procedure and the stuggle is real lol !
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
Cann´t find a recovery inside Nougat v14 update. I unpacked whole files to get system floder for the aroma. Only the boot.img i did not unpack but boot.img do not contain recovery. Sorry i´m little lazy to reinstall Nougat again for testing.

To enable my device update from V08 Marshmallow to Nougat, i flashed V07 recovery via adb. Maybe not needed anymore if i flash Nougat aroma.

Maybe try a little spanish at MDS twrp thread ;)

You maybe saw MegaTheBest account is disabled so you maybe try contact at needrom.
[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
Yes, I did the same. I have your V14 ROM which only contains a Boot image and I have your Aroma nougat ROM which has neither Boot or Stock Recovery image. I did unpack the Boot image and of course, nothing to be found there.

If there's no Stock Recovery image in the Nougat Roms, they must still be using the original one! :confused:
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
Yes :good:
[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
I was going to try and port the new Nougat Stock Recovery, but if it's the same Stock Recovery as Marshmallow then theoretically MegTheBest's port should work. As we know, it doesn't, which means I need to use the latest TWRP, 3.1.1 (or whatever it is). I just need to locate the damned Stock Recovery image!! Not so easy without root and I can't root without it... bah!
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
No dude megathebest TWRP and MDS TWRP should work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again! My suggestion to you retry bootloader unlock!!!

If you have a believe it only work with a MarshMallow firmware downgrade and check how to install TWRP propper. Then you know how to. If you see what you made wrong on installing twrp maybe then you like to retry on Nougat.

But feel free to port a new version of TWRP. Use v02 or v07 recovery to port it if needed.

Again no v14 stock recovery i had the v07 installed as i made a direct upgrade to v14. The kernel is in boot.img
[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
I'm sure Bootloader is unlocked. It says bootloader unlocked=YES and also Warranty=NO.

However, I'm going to take your advice and try unlocking it again. I hate having to set my phone up after a wipe so much though...

Be back soon with a good result i hope!
[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
No joy, bootloader IS unlocked and TWRP won't stick, just boots into Stock Recovery. I give up for now and have some beer lol
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
Still did not believe it do not work... I had a successless retry :(

SORRY, you seems to be right!
[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
Never mind, at least there's no bricked phones... yet! Guess I'll keep digging around for a Stock Recovery image to use porting the newer TWRP and see if that works. We'll get there! :cool:
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
For me 3.1 twrp did not work.

Also repacked - ported MDS TWRP based on V07 stock recovery as it´s like orginal based on V02 stock reocvery.

However both build with CarlivImageKitchen. First i used disxda kitchen which has additionl features for boot.img but i don´t get it at the moment.

Good luck :cyclops:

Seems to not work with Nougat please test latest recovery i uploaded
[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
Yes, I've been playing with Carliv too. But I think we need to port using Stock Recovery + TWRP, not pre-ported TWRP + newer Twrp.

I'm gonna keep looking to get the Stock Recovery for this... I think it's gonna take some time for me though, I'm no expert!
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
I used "latest" TWRP + stock recovery 07

and pre-ported TWRP + stock recovery 07

Still fail on building a working 3.1.xx. Not 100% on it what files can / have to be removed etc.

After flashing a recovery did you ever note a message erase while booting blackscreen with white O ?
[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
Good work to eliminate these combinations. I think maybe 08 or 14 Stock Recovery is what we need to use now with some variation of TWRP.

I'm sure I've seen this when I unlocked the Bootloader, not when I've flashed a recovery. I'll check it in a while to make sure.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

Ok, I just flashed your 3.1 TWRP recovery and there was no white O and no TWRP. But now my Stock Recovery when I select Restart System, it has added a new thing, I have a screen that asks for my PIN to Start Android before it reboots into system. This step was not there before so now I think I have Stock Recovery 07!! Haha, this is good fun to see if my new phone will explode sometime soon!
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
Oh dude i had this feature on my phone since i updated from v02 to v07-v08 as written in my first replies. Now it seems to be gone if i boot lol :D

I note that but i rebooted so often last 24 hours i didn´t realized it happend till you wrote. That fun ..guessing :D

Here is another recovery base on a 3.1.10 with replacement files from v14 boot.img. Meta_init.rc file size increased to 17kb - 16kb in v07 recovery.img

The problem is that such a v14 (nougat) recovery may not work with my Marshmallow.

That´s a reminder to an old psp rule never mess with flash.
[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
Just flashed it, no change. Still got the Enter PIN To Start Android step and no TWRP. Must be beer time now my friend!
[Device Reviews and Information] caculo:
Official?

Is this an official Nougat release?!! Or a Dinosaur port?
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
It is the orginal Nougat update OTA.

Extract update.zip to sd and update via orginal recovery or systemupdater. Should not work with a false device.

I did not found it by websearch so i uploaded it.

------------------------------------------

added another not tested recovery.

It´s based on MDS TWRP but use kernel of Nougat update from v14 boot.img and fstab..MT6753M + default.prop ;)

added 2nd recovery which only use only Nougat boot-kernel instead of MDS kernel

good luck

If someone like to repack an recovery you see a file called verity_key in boot.img which maybe is related to additional security request
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
I decided to upload the unpacked boot.img from v14 and unpacked MDS TWRP.

If someone can tell how to repack, i can repack it with CarlivKitchen.

I also like to know how to update to latest custom recovery (marshmallow or nougat).
[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
The only substantial reason for me to want root access was for blocking ads. After trying MiracleBox and other things without success, I have discovered DNS66 app, here https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-dns66-source-host-ad-blocker-root-t3487497 This is an excellent app that works even better than AdAway and does not require root access. For YouTube ads, I don't use YouTube, I now use Sky Tube. Another good app with no ads and plenty of features.

So, I no longer require root and can update OTA without having to jump through hoops. As there is a lack of serious developement for this excellent device, I have found a happy compromise for me. Good luck to anyone with searching for root access, I hope you find it!
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
I´m not huge of ads-blocker. They often block some liked networks, not only "pirate-stuff" also shopping or 18+.

Guess that depents on how you use www also do not like to have any youtube app xD. If you like have backround playback or lese ads thinking it fine. Sometimes i visit tubidy instead of youtube ;)

[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
Already embraced, i do not use 7 till xposed support :D

Only pro i can see on use of Nougat is hotknot app. Do you know which app provid hotknot feature?

At the moment i stuck on a

additional note related to positioning / location / gps /

(save last system setting)

seems like related to disabled (froozen) playstore

if location (gps) is toggled on and you reboot it also seems to save state of Wifi, mobil date, etc. setup as it was set befor toggle location on.

By doing so you can choise if you like to have enabled wifi etc. while boot that may also take effect to sound-volume other system settings! - )

If you set location service (gps) off while boot you maybe get similar network connection issue as me!! Whenever i switched location on, some apps e.g. email or weather did not connect to net, other apps e.g. browser worked.

So my advice to you toggle gps on while boot if you like to use it often

Now i note since location is toggled on while boot those apps that did not have connection issue now got them

and i´m not able to toggle location off. :silly:

Close to restore backups.

rebooted 20times and locationservice is active mobil data also, wifi is of no way to change on boot :confused:
[Device Reviews and Information] RoastPorkDinner:
According to this article... https://blog.chinavasion.com/34848/what-is-hot-knot-and-how-to-use-it/ .... there is no app, it's built in to the chipset.

"For those of you wondering if you can download Hot Knot through an app, the simple answer is no. There is no such thing as a Hot Knot app, because it’s part of the hardware of the phone."

It's not on my Cheetah 2.
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
Guess i just saw an quick tile to switch hotknot on/off but that was probaly just shown by Android-nify xposed modul that still was "running" from my pre-installed framework.
