APK Editor Pro works for me as well but is crashing on apk save.
[Android General] Pappmann:
U mean phone is crashing when u try to save the file in "/system/framework" ? Try to copy the file to sd-card first!
[Android General] MB242:
I don't edit file in use, of course it's copy on sdcard. I have tried also run on other device with the same result, unfortunately.
[Android General] Pappmann:
My File was saved without problems on sd-card, but i dont tried to copy it to /system yet. U need the framework-res.apk from BV6000 to compare files, here it is: https://mega.nz/#!0ooWAILZ!VHPvj_4Wu_3pGrgSMiSBWcl48DMHsm9YrqNNMlzjv00

Is there 'Checksum Generator' for Linux? In Blackview own forum it is said on flashing instructions that such is needed.

I tried flashing 20170829 but phone says still 20170803, and I assume that might be relate to that missing checksum, or not?
[Android General] tavasti:
Ok, maybe problem is not checksum, but something else. So when I try to flash 20170829:

- If I press 'volume up' while connecting usb cable, SP Flash Tool gives dialog:

ERROR: STATUS_ERR(-1073676287), MSP ERROE CODE: 0x00

[HINT]:

- If I don't press volume up, flashing goes ok, but version stays same.

SIM Processor Warning

Have a brand new BV8000 Pro. Ramdomly, it reboots itself with a SIM Processor warning.

Tried to emal Blackview, put messages in Forum but they do not seem to bother to allow it and/or answer.

Quite dissappointed with the lack of professional and ethical approach from someone that has bought their product.

Yes, will be the last time and will let the world know, too.

In the meantime, anyone knows what the drama could be, for this behaviour?

Thanks

[Android General] serg2327:
yes that you are attached to the assembly number? this information is written by one building in the file "build.prop".

Engineers simply forget to edit it. already three updates in a row forget to do it

go to the settings / about the phone / software update and make sure that you currently have the firmware version V01_20170803_20170829-1811

Hi, just to report that it is possible to install the xposed framework on our bv8000 pro (I didn't read anything about it already).

Just have a root phone with TWRP and flash via recovery the xposed v88.1 for arm64 (sdk24 --> android nougat 7.0); it works with rom 20171011.

I cannot insert the link, just download the correct version of xposed from dl-xda.xposed info site.

Reboot and install the xposed apk.

After flashing the xposed zip file the phone may seem to be stucked at the blackview logo, just wait!
[Android General] agusra:
Please help

Please help if anyone can run Xposed in the latest OS 7 BV8000 Pro steps. Thank you for your knowledge

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

how long or minute stops at the Blackview logo
[Android General] 82ghost82:
Several minutes..when it was stucked I was not waiting because I didn't know, so I entered twrp and delete data, cache and dalvik cache several times.

After sometimes, I was sure I had to reflash the rom but at a certain point the phone started with no problem.

I read somewhere that someone waited up to 20 minutes!

Hello, sorry if this post is off topic. I bought this phone ( bv8000pro) today. and i have one annoying problem with sound. When I start listen music or something, the sound is loud( as it should be) but after second or less sound decreases A LOT. and it happens with all type of sound ( I mean phone sounds - ringtones, alarms etc.) any ideas?

p.s. sound sounds very clean- no buzzing, no crunching, so I assume its software bug.

Phone on stock android.
[Android General] agusra:
thank you

thank you for the help given, then whether the modules in Xposed running smoothly?

and how does BV8000 pro perform after Root and installed Xposed?

are there any problems eg often restart or dead or what ya?

Thank you very much
[Android General] 82ghost82:
I have no particular problems with xposed, I'm currently running greenify and xinternalsd modules.

I had some restarts with rom 20170829, but I think because of the rom..with the latest rom 20171110 I had 1 restart in 6 days, so I cannot say xposed or root are responsible for the restarts.

I own BV8000 Pro only..!! I've 3rd party dialer.. I've tested with Stock DIaler & It's working..Thank you so much.!

I tried SuperSu 2.82 which always says "Binaries need to be updated" in spite of that, I could use root privileges. But, in apps like ES File Explorer, I couldn't activate Root.

Shall I flash Magisk over SuperSU through Custom Recovery? tia.
[Android General] serg2327:
so in fact this is not a root application problem File Explorer

he does not see the system root

why complicate things?

why not use the application Root Explorer?

on the binary file do not pay attention, just refuse to update and use the root rights that have long ago become not systemic! this is why many applications do not see it

Hello.

Could you share "Lite_Mod_v20171011" ?
[Android General] serg2327:
Hello! you do not have the ability to download from the 4pda?

Attention! this file is not a full-fledged software.

Installation of the mod over the official firmware 20171011

through TWRP

as a result you get "Lite_Mod_v20171011"

done this in order to save traffic, now Lite_Mod will only be such

I see no point in assembling full firmware

Wishes and suggestions about the fashion can write in private messages.

good ideas will be added to the following modifications
[Android General] MB242:
Thank you serg2327, I have tried also Lite_Mod_1011.zip which works fine. I would ask if you can provide flashable zip (or replace in the mod) of Camera app from DOOGEE-S60_bv8000Pro.rar. This Doogee camera works much better than BW8000 stock camera. Red color on the photos taken with Doogee app is red, not pink as mentioned here.
[Android General] serg2327:
I'm not sure that the "Camera" application is responsible for the quality of the images.

it is possible that you will need to change all the components "lib..."

Try to install a linked archive for the sake of interest

if the result is positive then let me know
[Android General] MB242:
It's the same but camera interface is faster, thank you.

BTW i had to restore 20170829_Lite backup as bluetooth connection is dropping during the call on stock 20171011 and modified too.
[Android General] poganytamas:
The root is still very strange with SuperSU v2.82 SR5. I also tried others, like Magisk, and that special 2.82 SR1 in this thread. Result is always the same: applications get root access, but adfree can not modify /system/etc/hosts, Busybox Pro can not install Busybox, su binary can not be updated :( However other root related stuff works, like Root explorer, Titanium backup.
[Android General] MB242:
2.82SR1 and AdAway works fine no problem with /system/etc/hosts.
[Android General] poganytamas:
Thanks for the tip, it also works with 2.82SR5

Has anyone tried this ROM of LinageOS 14.1?

edit: since it's my forst post on XDA i am not allowed yet to share links, but you can find it on a russian website named "proshivkis"

And thank you very much serg for sharing your work on this device!
[Android General] serg2327:
this site is fake!

it was created with the purpose of earning for downloading, it can only download non-existing firmware to non-existent phones ...

it is also likely that after unpacking the archive you will install a large amount of soft trash and maybe even viruses

.. the author of the message I advise you to check the information on which you are trying to send all the others!

or can you relate to the resource "proshivkis" and do it with your own specific benefit?
[Android General] 82ghost82:
Damn, you are right, with latest rom and even your camera mod red is still pink :crying:

Is there a solution around to get red red?

Thank you serg2327 for your work!
[Android General] agreo:
Ok, are you sure of what you are saying or are you just assuming. If it is really a fake site then I'm sorry but at least now people know it :). I was surprised that no one has talked about this ROM before and since I'm really looking forward for a LinageOS ROM. This is why I asked.
[Android General] agreo:
Just downloaded and unzipped the archive no virus alerts, il will try to flash and tell the results.

[Android General] poganytamas:
Yes, me, unmodified SuperSU 2.82SR5. Nothing fancy, stock rom, flashed from TWRP. There is no way to update the binary right now, you have to live with the notification. Not all root realted app works. For ad blocker use Adaway. For busybox use this installer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.busybox
[Android General] 82ghost82:
Thank you for reporting, I confirm the red is much more better with the doogee rom and also the touch is much more better with this rom.

Definetly worth the change, at least for me!

Thank you serg2327 for this rom, could it be possible to update the porting from the newer s60 roms?

Another thing about stock rom and xposed (latest version 88.2): before switching to doogee rom, I noticed some errors in the xposed log related to CDS_info, ImsService, MtkMms, Sk1, WfoService and FwkPlugin (cannot find the odex or something similar).
[Android General] agreo:
You're welcome, I tried to flash S60 ROM provided by serg through SPflashtools but it didn't work. Can you tell me how did you manage to flash it please?
[Android General] 82ghost82:
Starting from stock rom, twrp and obviously the unlocked bootloader, I load the scatter file provided with the rom, which automatically checked the imgs to flash (the ones you find in the zip).

Selected firmware upgrade and start flashing: first time I received an error, the phone was switched on on the bootloader screen, I switched again off the phone and reflashed with the same settings and this time all was ok.
[Android General] agreo:
I'm getting this error:
[Android General] 82ghost82:
Can it be a driver issue?Try reinstalling the drivers.

Or you flashed a wrong preloader?
[Android General] MB242:
You have to copy preloader_s21v57c2k_jk_fsm.bin file from Blackview ROM folder to folder where is your Doogee ROM.

[Android General] jman0:
Hi, I'm about to get a brand new BV8000 Pro (it should arrive tomorrow or next Thursday) and I'm wondering a few things:

I did own Mediatek phones in the past and fastboot mode was not accesible back then. I've read somewhere it has changed for modern processors, so, instead of using SP Flash Tool, shouldn't it be possible to flash (or just boot) TWRP while in fastboot mode?

If so, is the bootloader unlocked in the BV800, or how can I unlock it? If I unlocked it, would I be able to relock again, in order not to loose warranty if I had problems? The fact is that, if this is at all possible, flashing TWRP while in fastboot mode is way faster and easier than using SP Flash Tool, and, as I already said, you can just boot into TWRP, without actually flashing it, and do everything you need (backups, flash SuperSu, etc) without replacing the stock recovery, which would also (I think) let you still get OTA upgrades.

On the other hand, did anyone also try to root the BV8000 using a solution like Kingoroot? Would it work? Once rooted, I think it should be possible to flash TWRP using the app Flashify, which I think users of BV7000 were able to.

And, once inside TWRP, does Magisk work? These days it's a more convenient rooting solution, as it's systemless and allows you to hide root from apps.
[Android General] agreo:
Don't buy this phone, i have regrets about it because :

- not really ip68 (because of jack & USB ports)

- doesn't support B28

- can't properly root

- have to deactivate AAL because of contrast issues

- no lineage OS support

- red is shotted as pink in photos

Maybe consider buying a doogee S60 instead but i can't tell much about it since i don't own one.

And by the way I got censored on Blackview's forum since i posted a thread about their fake IP 68.

I've even found a video today on youtube by "techutopia" exposing blackview's lie.
[Android General] jman0:
Thanks for your post, but I still think it's worth it.

Regarding the IP68 rating, I've seen both people who say it is, an really tested, and others who say it isn't. Anyway, I'm not looking for an underwater phone. I like that it's rugged and can survive drops and some mistreatment. I've never exposed any of my previous phones to water (I must be one of the few people who never dropped their smartphones in the toilet) so it's not such an issue to me (and that's only if it's confirmed that it's not really so waterproof).

I don't care about B28, since it's not used here (Spain) for 4G and I don't travel so much. And if I have to travel, spending a week or so on 3G is not such an issue.

My experience taught me that everything can be rooted, sooner or later. And I don't judge phones just for their "rootability". You know something? Years ago, I bought a phone that was thought to be "unrootable" (Alcatel OT-918D) and someone told me not tio buy it, like you're doing now. The phone could finally be rooted (in fact, I was the one who found out how and posted it here, my thread is still available). I'm not saying I will the one who will completely root this phone (if nobody has already done) but everything is rootable, sooner or later. And do you know what I had to do to find how to root the Alcatel? Just read, and find how people had rooted phones with the same chipset. So simple.

Yes, the adaptive brightness issue can be annoying for some, but most of the time I keep my phones on manual brightness (25%) and I rarely use such feature, so I don't care so much.

LineageOS is quite nice, but not perfect nor the only avilable ROM. If you care so much about LinageOS as to make you choose one phone or another, you should have bought a phone with an official LOS ROM, not one hoping it would eventually get support. On my previous phone I ended up returning to a stock based ROM, because it was hugely optimized and better than LOS.

The red/pink issue is most probably a software issue, rather than hardware, and something Blackview will probably address, as they did with other previous software issues.

I can't talk about the S60, either, since I don't own it, but I've worked with cell phones for years and Doogee is one of the worst manufacturers I've ever seen, and I've seen a whole lot of their phones break down miserably in a variable time between one week and one year. I'm not saying Blackview is better, but I will keep away from Doogee. Maybe Blackview will fail on me, I don't know, but I'll get the phone with an open and constructive mind for now. Hey, I boughht a $200 phone, I will not expect it to work like a Samsung Galaxy S8, and even Samsung have software issues they have to address all the time (and the infamous Galaxy Note 7 "on fire" affair).

I'll tell about my findings when I get the phone, in one or two days.
[Android General] Loca Toni:
And Flashlight not working
[Android General] agreo:
This is not a general issue you must have got a defective one.
[Android General] jman0:
On the camera issue, I'm also following the thread on Blackview forum, and a user has just confirmed what I thought about it being a software issue. He just tried Open Camera, instead of the stock one, and has seen it produces a more intense red color, so it has to be an issue in the stock camera.

Open Camera is one of the best camera alternatives out there. In fact, I won't be using the stock camera, since I bought Snap Camera HDR a long time ago, and have been using it on all the phones I've owned ever since, so I guess I will be free of the red/pink issue. And, as I said, Blackview will probably address that sooner or later. Meanwhile, you can choose another camera app and stick to it, just like I'll do.

Read it here: http://bbs.blackview.hk/viewtopic.php?f=191&t=293627&start=10

Just one side note: besides your IP68 rating concern, did you notice that all the issues you pointed out are software issues? Most (if not all) are addressable through the use of third party apps. Except, probably the lack of LineageOS, but, if you manage to install xposed, even through the partially rooted phone, most of the LineageOS visuals and battery optimizations can be achieved using xposed modules, and xposed support for Android 7 is now official.

By the way, regarding the adaptive brightness issue, there's also an alternative on Google Play store, called Lux Auto brightness. I used it on another Chinese phone I had years ago, since the minimum brightness on that one was set too low while on auto mode. That was also the time I decided to keep my phones on manual brightness, since many Chinese phones are known to not implement the auto brightness quite right. Most of my previous phones were Chinese, except an ASUS Zenfone 2 (damn, it screen broke while out of warranty) and the ASUS was the only one to implement a good enough auto brightness algorithm.
