Vodafone Smart first 6* NL *(EU) Rooting and More!
Done & Closed!​After a wild chase finding the correct tools and apk's this took me 2 days to complete an fully rooted and Simlock free Vodafone branded Smart Firt 6.
Most of the files can be downloaded from below here on XDA​DISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROM's have risks and may Void your warranty and can result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.
Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledge about the phone and phone utilities also.
Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.
It may be that you get an *softbrick *(bootloop) because Vodafone still pushing update's for their Firmware patching and upgrading the software!​
To be safe please use methods given by: Androrooter and or Kirito9 !​
#Rooting:
1# Download the root.apk onto your phone or SD card and install.
2# Now start the app and you will see it's all in Chinese, just click on the Root Shield Badge ontop of the screen.
3# Let it do its magic installing the scripts most likely it will auto reboot your phone without rooting it,
you must restart the root app again and click on the Badge (like done at step 2#).
~Now you are Rooted but the Superuser is Chinese and what i have noticed it's a temporary Root, if you lose root again just redo step 2#!
4# Download and install SuperSu-2.46 now launch an root app most likely the Chinese app will popup granting
for root permission, you must click on the colored (grant) button to accept.
5# Download an Root browser i.e. File Manager and let it gain Root permission, if SuperSu wont ask for Root it's now save to uninstall the Chinese app.
~From now on you permanently Rooted, don't go installing/modding stuff yet until you made an systems backup!
#Twrp or Cwm Recovery (PC version):
1# Download ADB Driver and install on PC. Download from here; http://www.datafilehost.com/d/2267ab98
2# Download TWRP Setup (thanks to Dees_Troy & Yuweng) and unzip on your PC.
3# Activate USB debugging under developer mode* and connect with USB to your PC.
(done by *tapping 7 times on the build number in the about phone section)
3a# Open the Twrp setup.exe and click on the next button.
3b# Just wait till the installation is completed followed by credits.
3c# On the next window, click on yes to proceed.
3d# Select Start Easy Magic TWRP Installer for MediaTek and click on ok
3e# Click on Yes to auto port.
3f# Now make sure your phone is connected, adb driver installed and usb debugging enabled, then click on OK.
~if you get any pop up msg on your phone screen just click on yes.
Just wait for a few seconds while the setup is been completed,
if the process was successful, your phone should automatically reboot into recovery.
~Now you need to make an full backup with Twrp so that all the files are safe!
#More Updates following Soon! To be safe please use methodes given by: Androrooter and or Kirito9 !

does not work
It says root failed on my VF695 and therefore cannot install TWRP.

Kingroot 4.8 worked, so I ran the TWRP Setup and guess what another way to ruin the phone even further. Stuck in a boot loop now.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUYS GUIDE! It will most likely break your phone from start to finish!
Please provide a reset copy of your system.img and recovery.img for people who have lost their phones due to this guide, it would be very useful as the devices can be restored if adb / fastboot access can be achieved.

Well well QuantumRevenger,
Sorry to hear that this method didn't worked out nicely for you.
Maybe your firmware got upgraded and the recovery didn't stick?!
Did you try the combination Power + Vol Up while the phone is off and enter
the Recovery menu clear Cache + Dalvik after this reboot.
I can't help you with the systems files because i ditched the vodafone firmware for Vanilla 4.4.2 Android.
The only thing i can do for you is point to this thread where i moved towards myself-> MTK devices
Here you will learn an little how your MTK device works, also you can search XDA for an different Easy Magic TWRP or CTR or even Philz!
Enjoy
&
Good luck!

Do you know if this will also work on the UK model?

Hello RHodgett,
It most likely would work because this model bought by Vodafone for their (EU) market.
As we all know it's a cheap china phone suited for Vodafone requirements!
~Not speaking for the firmware updates they push once an while~
But rooting can be done very easy with the given root from my post or even now with the updated
Kingroot 4.8 said by QuantumRevenger. And like for the custom recovery it can get tricky mentioned by QuantumRevenger, i had no problem with this at that moment.
But i urge you to read my answer to QuantumRevenger problem from above, after that you can decide at your own risk.
Enjoy
&
Good Luck!

Thanks, I'll give this a go when the handset arrives in a few days and report back.
Can you explain how to then install the Vanilla 4.4.2 Android firmware? (or any other suitable stock firmware for the device)

No Problem & you're welcome!,
For flashing roms you need an custom recovery otherwise you can't Flash.
Nobody here is tailoring for our Vodafone branded(China) smart first 6 so you have to go where i send QuantumRevenger towards and where i am. (See post answering QuantumRevenger).
Here you can use the roms and learn more about our MTK devices in general.
For flashing roms you must install in the recovery as an zip file and then you're done!
MTK has other methodes to install but that's for advance users only.
Enjoy
&
Goodluck.

Hi, I've root using the Chinese apk and root checker says the device is rooted but I wasn't able to install SuperSU 2.46, it keeps saying the binaries need to be updated and it fails every time I update.
Rebooting using the TWRP setup just shows the Powered by android splash. I'm not sure what to do now?
Edit: Ok I've flashed a recovery from the threads you linked, finally got a bootloader working. Now to flash a ROM Got CM12.1 running, thanks!

DID not work for me

So I followed all the steps and everything seemed to work fine. The TWRP software said it was going to reboot into recovery but it is stuck at the android logo screen.
When I hold power button + up key its the same, stuck at the android screen.
When I hold power button + down key it boots into vodafone android.
I'm kind of stuck to what to do now (sorry I am really new to this)?

Darn that's a bummer! It worked for me and had everything running xposed, SuperSu etc. :/
Try another Magic installer use CWM or Phillz, they can be found here or via google.
So weird i bet Vodafone did a firmware push on there bootloader or not all EU firmwares are the same(dat would be pretty nonlogical).
Sorry for the troubles please try the above solution and report back if that fixed it.
Goodluck!

That's the problem. SiInce the file is in ZIP format, downloading into the SD card and then doing the Power+Vol up, and update from SD zip, gives me an aborted message.
Putting the Zip file in the Phone memory (not the sd card) just doesn't open the file, saying format not supported.(casue it is ZIP)
What am I missing? please help with a step by step idiots guide, if you can .

The root is an normal APK there are only two zip files here; the TWRP and the SuperSu.
TWRP.zip is an magic installer for your PC with the given USB drivers and Debuging turned on(See my guide).
Now SuperSu.zip can only be installed via an custom recovery like TWRP.
I'm noticing you're trying to flash without an
custom recovery?, that's an no go.
1# Root with given or Kingroot 4.8.
2# Install custom recovery TWRP, CWM or Phillz (Must be an magic installer version via PC) all these versions can be found on Xda.
3# Flash SuperSu via custom recovery and replace the first installed Root!
That's all there is to it, no deeper layers on how-to install.
Enjoy

Good luck!

OK got it. THe only way I could get the APK into my phone is via the phones own browser from this site. I could only move from my pc as a ZIP file only. Hence could not install. But now its done. I think I am rooted now. Root checker still says not rooted, but I can use ES file explorer and have managed to remove a few app. Does this mean it is Rooted?
Can I remove the Rooting apk from the phone now without any adverse impact?
I have also managed to load the TWRP on the SD card. IF I want to Flash a rom, how do I go about it? Can you link and stable ROM which I can use? Need a small tutorial.
AND very many mahy thanks for your support on here and input.

Okay Onlydongles,
I don't think you have Root (yet!), Es browser has an side menu.
Here you must scroll down and select Root Explorer, that's the real test if you got Rooted!
If not install Kingroot 4.8 via your phone browser.
For ROMs you have to go where I send everybody towards ->MTK Devices (link given in answers above).
Flashing ROMs is easy done by custom recovery select the downloaded ROM zip and flash with the given creator instructions B).

[DISCUSSION][GUIDE][PORT][ROM] Alcatel One Touch 4030 S'Pop/Glory 2 Development

This thread is for discussion for the development of this device. All interested devs are very welcome to join and help.
I started working on this device since I got it day 1 on March 11, 2013. Slowly, I progressed to every step in learning more about this device. Since then, many have joined finding ways to make this device better.
UPDATE:
This thread is old and very few to none uses this device anymore. I will leave this thread here for your reference.
All of the developments of this device will still be posted here so always keep in touch with this thread for great news.
Cheers! :good:
Unbrick theory...
trying the one touch upgrade utility. it wipes all data in phone and installs a fresh and latest ROM for the device. i guess this will also fix a bricked device somehow.
after this i will try to root it again using MTK tools and ap flash tools with a different idea in my mind... hope it works this time...
[EDIT] UNBRICK METHOD CONFIRMED WORKING!!!
One touch Upgrade
Hello there I'm a total noob in rooting and unlocking bootloads. I just got the same phone as my first android phone and wondered how to root it and I end up here. Now I'm asking how did you get the one touch upgrade software. I've searched the whole alcatel website but I keep getting on the FAQ page. Would you be so kind to put up the link for the software because I kinda bricked my phone here. I was also wondering what speed did you use during your Bin4ry script root attempt? Normal or Special? Keep doing a good job. Thanks for having the time to look for ways to root this phone.

I tried the normal mode as Bin4ry said that the others might brick the phone it it wasn't the right model. did you brick it using the srcipt? any way. still trying to root it and finding help from rua1 that has a great knowledge in MTK phones...
here's the link of the upgrade utiliuty... just install it and choose alcatel 4030 (if your phone is s'pop) then power of the phone remove the battery and follow the instructions on PC and wait till it says plug the phone while powered off.. plug the usb (without battery) then wait for it to detect the device. when it loads, put the battery back and wait for it to download the firmware.. it will take hours to download it.. it's about 2+gigs... good luck on unbricking.. hope it works...
Phone unbricked
Many thanks for the software. My phone is now back to stock rom. for the Bin4ry I also tried Normal because I thought it was for tabs only. So MTK is the only course of action? Any news on fixing the 2 point horizontal bug? and the alcatel FAQ says there's this TCL calibration that you can activate to you know "calibrate" the touch screen. Do you also get the problem where in the stock alarm app alarms but you can't dismiss it ( I set it to crazy mode ) where you need to press 3 buttons to dismiss but still won't stop I really need to pull the battery out. Help please Thanks in advance.

Great. So my theory really worked. Glad you unbricked it. I'm getting closer to rooting it. Just having problems flashing the cwm. Ones I managed to flash it, rooting may be successful. I use Mtk tools and flash tools and get help from rua1. Didn't use my alarm before so i'm not sure about the bug. Maybe you don't have to set it in crazy mode..
I tried to set the alarm in crazy mode and everything works fine. Just dismiss, unlock, and tap the three buttons with numbers and your done..
Rooted, finally!!
I finally rooted the alcatel spop. I will make a guide maybe later how I did it...

How to flash CWM recovery and root Alcatel One Touch S'POP 4030X(Glory 2)
Disclaimer: Your warranty is now void. You do this in your own risk. I do not take any responsibility to your device. This will definitely brick your device which is normal but follow the right instructions to make it work again.
Credits: This is tuts would not be possible without the help from the creator of MTKdroid tools, rua1 from XDA Developers. Thank the guy for his wonderful tool. If you wanna know how I did it, go to his thread right here. I also wanna acknowledge The Solutor and rimmon1971's efforts for porting the TWRP to our device. You can find The Solutor's work here.
Requirements:
1. A windows based PC
2. MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tool
3. Universal ADB driver
4. One Touch Upgrade S
5. Root script
6. Patience
7. Most important! Use your brain!
Important!
To make this work without errors, don't use other drivers available in the web. Just install One Touch Upgrade S first. It will install the USB VCOM preloader driver. It will be needed by the SPFT to detect the phone. Use the provided ADB driver for the MT65xx_android_phone. If ever you get stucked in an error and your device wont boot anymore, just use One Touch Upgrade and your phone will be as good as new...
Guide: CWM/TWRP recovery
1. Download MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tools, ADB Drivers, One Touch Upgrade S, and the Root script. Extract them anywhere in your computer.
2.Install ADB driver.This step is now optional to get adb working. You can now skip to step 5 if you just want to get rooted with CWM/TWRP recovery installed.. In your phone, go to Settings>Development. Set to on and check USB debugging.

}
3. Connect device to PC. Driver will fail to install (thats normal). Install UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
Note: in Windows 8, this will pop-up. do this:
4. After installing the Universal ADB driver, go to device manager of your computer. Follow the images as descirbed.
ADB commands should work now (if you have ADB installed) and you won't have any problems about MTK droid tool not detecting phone.
5. Be sure that you have already installed One Touch Upgrade S before this step. Open SP Flash tool and select the scatter file by clicking on the Scatter-loading button.
6. UNCHECK BOOT and leave RECOVERY checked. Disregard what is on the photo. There's are reports that the latest firmwares are incompatible with the uploaded patched boot.img.
Note: By default, the CWM recovery will be selected in the SP Flash tool. If you want the fully working TWRP-recovery (I recomment this because CWM recovery is not fully functional), just click RECOVERY and replace it with this file.
7. Click Download button. Click yes on the download warning. Turn off phone, remove battery and connect the phone (without battery) and wait until SP Flash tool detects the phone and watch as it flash the image.
8. If everything passes without errors, unplug the phone, reinsert battery and boot to recovery by pressing power + volume up.
9. You should boot in CWM/TWRP recovery. We are ready to flash the Superuser app to gain root.
Guide: Superuser
You can use mtk droid root and tools here. Just plug in phone to pc while still in CWM recovery. Run mtk tools, wait to detect phone, click superuser, then build.prop, then delete china. Your done. Or use the guide below if you have problems with it.
Using CWM recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on CWM recovery, plug the phone into PC again.
2. Navigate using volume up and down buttons. Press Power button to select and Back soft key to go back.
3. Select mounts and storage>mount USB storage.
4. Copy the root-glory-2-4030E.zip to your sdcard.
5. After copying, select unmount and go back.
6. Select install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard>root-glory-2-4030E.zip and select yes - Install root-glory-2-4030E.zip
7. It will flash the app to the system including all needed binaries. I also included the fix-permissions banary which is missing from the ROM.
8. Reboot the phone and wait. It will boot normally and no data will be lost. You will see superuser app in your app drawer. You are now rooted!:thumbsup:
Using TWRP recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on TWRP recovery,Connect the device to PC.
2. Tap mount in the screen then Mount USB storage.
3. Copy the root-glory-2-4030E.zip to your sdcard.

bootanimation problem!
I changed my bootanimation and tried if it works using these commands which i normally do with my past android devices.
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the animation works fine but when i hit:
Code:
adb reboot
the animation showed was just android mask or android shine which shows when you don't have bootanimation.zip inside /data/local or /system/media. it's like a default bootanimation.
so once I booted, I tried again
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the bootanimation works but when I reboot, it's back to default.
I tried replacing back the original bootanimation.zip but it still the defaut bootanimation. It's very weird. I haven't encountered this before...

I changed my bootanimation and tried if it works using these commands which i normally do with my past android devices.
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the animation works fine but when i hit:
Code:
adb reboot
the animation showed was just android mask or android shine which shows when you don't have bootanimation.zip inside /data/local or /system/media. it's like a default bootanimation.
so once I booted, I tried again
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the bootanimation works but when I reboot, it's back to default.
I tried replacing back the original bootanimation.zip but it still the defaut bootanimation. It's very weird. I haven't encountered this before...

Found out the cause of this issue. The stock ROM has no fix_permissions binary. So I pushed the binary and tried to fix perm again and now custom bootanimation.zip works!

Remember, when we need something we struggle for it & i needed it for myself. Only one thing, keep this thread going, Rate it, Comment, share, whatever.... that's all.

Welcome to the thread, it's been long time i was waiting for a single comment other than mine : p.
well, i got my hands on "CWM" and it's in English as from where i get it i saw it in english language. One thing i haven't tested it, coz i'm not sure about my device 'bootloader' status. don't know incase it's unlocked or locked. i think CWM can be installed/flashed only when bootloader is unlocked. so i'm not installing CWM until i'm sure about safety.
"Framaroot" worked for me too last night but "supersu" icon did not appear in menu but i installed an app to confirm root and "supersu" notification came up for granting permission. what ever, Will you also please share "framaroot" version you used and what exploit worked for you. i used framaroot 1.9.2. and please tell me about "bootloader" too.
i'll upload "CWM 5.5.0.4" for y511-u30 or u25, but again i have not tested it. i'll edit thread about how to install. : ). take care and post results after testing. i hope it will be safe. goot luck.

It's ok about version, any chance of remembering "exploit" you choose to root device "boromir" or "Barahir"?. as i remember, "Barahir" worked for me. again not sure. but device got rooted without showing "supersu" app but hidden and installed.
anyway, i have uploaded Framaroot app and in short i'll be uploading "CWM".
is your device "bootloader unlocked"? i'll not recommend you to try installing "CWM" without bootloader unlocked.
CWM information/img/files added.
I am trying to find unlocking bootloader solution for every one and then will add "CUSTOM ROMS".
faramaroot v1.9.2
select "install Supersu"
then "boromir" but not sure
its nearly 2 months ago i have rooted with faramaroot,

Ok. Thanks for replying. I am not sure but i think, to flash custom ROM "bootloader" needs to be unlocked. Maybe 'CWM' don't need bootloader restriction but required root.
Try to find way to unlock bootloader for our device. There are ways but some cost much and the one which don't is official way and they have not answered any of my email/query yet.
It not a problem for me individualy to get bootloader unlocked but i want to find out solution for every one.
One more thing, just want to make sure that it only with my device serial or same with some others too.
1. Serial mentioned in phone settings is strange like "0123456.." and serial behind battery is different.
2. Incase, u ever boot into chinese bootloader/recovery by pressing vol- and power button. Did u happen to see "Board test fail"?
Thanks, I'll be waiting for ur reply.

2. i had installed recovery with "RASHR" app avaialble at playsore and restarted fone into recovery with same "RASHR" app.
Vol- and power i think does not work or only it is used to "fast boot" the fone
however Vol+ and power shows board test fail but still u can test some hardware, all menu comes in chines but still camera, mic and other hardware can be checked.
i always reboot to recovery by writing commands to terminal emulator.

[Resolved] Titans2 Doogee DG700 Android 5.0 Lollipop Repartition/Root/Recovery/Xposed workshop

UPDATE:
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!
From the moment I bought this phone, I only had problems:
-Facebook always freezing/hanging/lagging when I'm talking to someone that is talking at the same time (had to revert to Android 4.4 to fix this).
-Battery could not handle the heat of the "waterproof" phone and eventually bloated, becoming so swollen that I had to buy a new one.
-Back cover's cheap plastic snapping bits eventually broke as well, had to replace the back cover and order a new one (and one snap broke again).
-Phone was never waterproof, tiny droplets of water could get in from the microphone whenever it was humid and the phone was useless when it happened
-"Shockproof" phone fell from a height of one meter while I was cycling and now the touchscreen is completely unresponsive, even in recovery... completely dead
-Supposedly solid touchscreen cracked real bad at 2 places after I inadvertently put my keys in the same pocket
-The fake plastic chrome in the back gets all scratched and chipped as it's the first thing that touches any surface.
-I suspect this phone of having corrupted and ruin 2 genuine sdcards that I had to replace. Thank you for SanDisk warranty!!
Now all I have is a very expensive clock with a screen that I can just turn on and off. Go look somewhere else than Doogee to buy a phone. I dropped my old LG-P500 from the third floor when I hung the sheets while my phone was in there, dropped a cheap Mediatek Cubot down the stairs and both worked perfectly after. But a stupid shockproof phone can't survive a one meter fall
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THIS PHONE
Best way to use it is to revert back to Kit Kat. Believe us (Several XDA members and me), Android 5.0, even with the backport fixes is unresponsive, slow and sluggish.
tvladan made a guide for the best way to repartition + root + custom recovery + xposed your phone on post #239:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63260626&postcount=239
OLD POST:
This thread is a work in progress for the DG700 to get better partitions, root access, a custom recovery, the Xposed framework and fix memory leaks.
We are still improving it, here's what we have so far:
4GB internal storage partition --> OK
6GB internal storage partition --> IN PROGRESS
Root access with Kingroot --> OK
Root access with Super SU --> OK
Custom Recovery --> OK
Xposed framework --> OK
Custom ROM with black theme --> IN PROGRESS
Credits:
All this has been made possible by the common efforts of XDA members tvladan, Nudeldampf, Pepo1980, mikaelbrostrom, lunito.
ROM was made by Yalita35254
Recovery was ported from yuweng's TWRP by Hanuma50
Xposed framework was developped by rovo89
The bootanimation memory leak was fixed by arter97
The ColorFade memory leak was fixed by tonyp
Make sure to click "thanks" to these awesome people if you see their posts!
Disclaimer:
Of course, none of the listed people and me are responsible if you break your device completely. However, during the test phase I have flashed well over 80 times total and many times thought I killed my phone definitely, but it was always ok. Flashing is so easy nowadays, and you can pretty much always recover from any mistake by reflashing everything. If your phone is not detected anymore by the flashing software, unplug the phone, remove its battery and wait a few seconds before retrying.
Guide:
Step 0, getting ready:
If you just want a rooted phone with a minimal footprint that will still be easily update-able via the phone's "Wireless update", go on page 2 for a guide to simply root the phone.
When you make ANY operation in SP Flash Tool, PHONE MUST BE OFF AND ONLY CONNECT YOUR PHONE AFTER YOU CLICK THE "START" OR "DOWNLOAD" BUTTONS
If your device is undetected in SP Flash Tool, unplug and remove the battery then try again.
You don't have to do all the steps, depending if you just want a repartition, a root, or the whole package
Don't try to skip steps by flashing the rooted /system partition and custom recoveray at the same time, it will not work
Make sure you have at least 80% battery, just to be sure. Flashing takes a lot of juice, especially the first boot that will show a white logo with full brightness for a while
Step 1, Download drivers and open command window:
Download the VCOM USB Drivers attached in this post, extract them, then open a command windows in Administrator mode like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 2, Install the drivers:
Change the directory to the location of the auto-installer and execute install.bat:
Step 3, Verify driver:
To verify if the drivers are OK, turn your phone off and plug it in your computer. You should hear the familiar Windows chime when a new device was plugged in. The Command Window should look like this after the installation:
Step 4, Download the ROM and rooted system:
Download both the 4GB of internal storage repartitioned ROM and rooted Android in this package
You will have to flash the ROM and the rooted /system partition in different steps, so follow the guide and don't try anything to skip steps.
Step 5, Format your phone accordingly:
Download SP Flash Tool v5.1352.01, extract and open flash_tool.exe
You must then format your phone to make it work with the customized re-partitioned ROM by entering these values in the Format tab:
0x0000000045F80000
0x000000018CC80000
Then make sure your phone is DISCONNECTED AND TURNED OFF, click start, wait a second or two and connect your phone. Let SP Flash Tool do its magic until you see the success popup
Step 6, Select the scatter file:
In the Download tab, select the scatter file from the r21 ROM you just downloaded to load all the partitions in SP Flash Tool
Step 7, Flash the repartitioned ROM:
After SP Flash tool finished the checkups, make sure all the settings are the same as the 1st screenshot, then with your phone DISCONNECTED AND TURNED OFF, click Download, wait a few seconds and plug your phone. Download shoud start
Step 8, Initial Android boot:
When you see the success message from SP flash tool, disconnect your phone and turn it on to set up your android. Keep SP Flash tool opened for the next step
THE FIRST BOOT WILL TAKE A VERY LONG TIME, encrypting your /data and FAT partitions, then seeming frozen in the white screen for 20+ minutes. BE PATIENT.
While your phone is booting, you can prepare for the next step.
Step 9, Flash the rooted Android (optional if you want to stop here):
If you just want the repartitioned and don't care about root (yeah, right!), you can stop here. If not, click on the ANDROID partition in SP Flash Tool to select the rooted partition that was included in the package you downloaded.
Make sure only this partition is selected like in the screenshot, then with your phone DISCONNECTED AND TURNED OFF, click Download, wait a few seconds and plug your phone. Download shoud start
Step 10, Apply the root:
Disconnect your phone and restart. This is mandatory before going any further, Android will install SuperSU for root permissions, wait for it to finish.
Keep SP Flash tool opened for the next step.
Step 11, Flash the custom recovery (optional if you want to stop here):
Download the custom recovery (Also attached to this post) then in SP Flash Tool, click the RECOVERY partition to select the recovery you just downloaded
Make sure only this partition is selected like in the screenshot, then with your phone DISCONNECTED AND TURNED OFF, click Download, wait a few seconds and plug your phone. Download shoud start
Step 13, Fix the boot animation memory leak (optional if you want to stop here):
Lollipop has lots of memory leak, especially version 1.0. But one of the worst ones is the boot animation memory leak that XDA member arter97 describes as being due to the memory allocated to play the previous frame is not released.
This can end up in an unstable Android system because of core services being killed due to insufficient memory, or sometimes even in boot loops that you must end by removing your battery (happened to me a few times). Fortunately, he fixed this and posted the solution.
13.1 Get the new binaries to fix that problem, make sure you get version 2:
13.2 Make a backup of file /system/bin/bootanimation. I use and recommend ES File Explorer. Make sure you turn on root explorer to see the system files like such:
13.2 Replace the bootanimation file with the one you downloaded. The one for our phone is this one in the zip package:
bootanimation_v2.zip\aosp\32bit\bootanimation
13.3 Make sure the owner, group and persmissions are the same as the original bootanimation file. It should be the same as on my phone:
Step 14, Download and Install the Xposed Framework (optional if you want to stop here):
If you want the Xposed framework, get the Xposed Installer and the SDK from the official Xposed Lollipop post
14.1 Download these 2 files and copy them on your SD card:
XposedInstaller_XXX.apk
xposed-vXX-sdk21-arm.zip (sdk22 is for Android 5.1)
14.2 Reboot your phone in recovery:
Power off phone or reboot
When the screen is black, before the DG700 logo appears, hold VOLUME-UP and "POWER" button together until you see a black and white menu
Move the cursor to the first menu item (recovery) with the VOLUME-UP button, then select by pressing the VOLUME-DOWN button
14.3 Once You are in your newly installed custom recovery, tap install:
14.3 Select the xposed-vXX-sdk21-arm.zip file from your SD card and swipe the handle at the bottom to accept
14.4 Once done, reboot and go in settings->security and activate Unkown Sources:
14.5 Navigate to where you downloaded the XposedInstaller_XXX.apk file with ES Explorer (or any other way) and install the Xposed application.
Step 15, Fix the Color Fade memory leak (optional):
One of the worst memory leaks of Android 5.0.x is the Color Fade memory leak that causes memory to pile up every time you turn the screen off.
This has been fixed by XDA member tonyp, with his Xposed module that follows the official Android 5.1 patch, available on in the Xposed repository or visa the Play Store:
I'm not 100% sure if Doogee's r21 has fixed this issue, but activating this module will either fix the leak, or change nothing. Better safe than sorry. If I get any confirmation that we don't need it, I will remove this step
Post-Notes:
To make changes to system apps, you can use the following tools. I recommend using these to avoid a boot loop or applications "closing unexpectedly":
Delete system app with Titanium Backup (System application manager corrupted my system)
Integrate updates into system with System application manager (Titanium Backup just shows the loading animation forever)
Convert user applications to system applications with System application manager (Titanium Backup just shows the loading animation forever)
If you wish to install Doogee's r24 update, you cannot do it with the recovery as it will end up in a boot loop. You must use this technique explained by mikaelbrostrom on page 22 of this thread. I did not include these steps here as I did not test it and don't have the screenshots.
If you want to backup all phone, it seems that MTK Droid Tool is not working properly and XDA member lunito has found a way to backup all your phone with some hacks described on page 23 of this thread, using this technique. I did not include these steps here as I did not test it and don't have the screenshots.
anybody...?
Is it still unavailable?
it seems that it has not been done yet ... I just got mine with lolipop and I am also waiting for a root method ...
It seems like this guy managed to do it with vRoot/iRoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...00-unboxing-hands-t2953664/page3#post59997977
but it did not work with me, either with the latest version of iRoot or an older version. And that was with a Vanilla installation of the latest Android 5.0 from the Doogee website. I asked the guy which version of iRoot he used, but no answer..
Yea but as I understand what he wrote there, he flashed back to KitKat and than rooted the phone, which we know was possible. (Flash back to Android KitKat that's the title of his post) I would like to keep Lolipop and have my phone rooted since it came with some bloatware installed and I need to install some apps that need root privileges. I guess it's a matter of waiting for somebody with the proper knowledge to root it with Lolipop installed. Doogee DG700 users please keep this thread alive until a proper root method for Lolipop is posted. Thanks
Oh yes, you're right, I did not read correctly as usual..
Well, let's hope a hacker cannot live with an unrooted DG700 and fixes that

Heya!
Is it me or nobody found a way to root the Doogoo Titans2 DG700 that has Android 5.0?
There are guides everywhere for KitKat, but it seems like Lollipop 5.0 is more robust and nobody cracked it yet.. It probably means that there is no CWM Recovery for the MTK6582 either huh?
Anyone found info on the subject? Google has not been cooperative and I cannot find anything on xda. I don't think I can live with a phone that has no root and no Xposed framework hehe!
Thank ya!

That's great news! Now, how do I get this old version of Vroot?
Be careful guys, my phone is completely messed up:
-Cannot uninstall any apps as "settings" app crashes
-Cannot open google play store, even after clearing data
-Google play services keeps crashing all the time
-App "superCleaner" got installed and I cannot uninstall it, even with an uninstaller as it comes back after reboot
Dang...sorry about that...are you sure its from the root procedure? Mine works ok...I also checked it with root checker...Green results.

Haha don't worry it's not your fault!
Trying to reset phone right now, will see what happens. If still broken, will reinstall lollipop completely.
I will then try the procedure again and post updates here. Might not finish today though, getting late here

No probs!
I managed to re-flash, re-partition and re-root. All works well and I see the storage space increased, but after the initial setup, the phone enters into a boot loop if I restart.. No idea why. I'm trying to figure out why and when it works perfectly, I'll post the correct vRoot with the EBR1 and EBR2 files in case people want to repartition as well.
In the meantime, if anybody has an idea why it would boot loop, go ahead and tell me.
I'll try it too and post results ASAP. Meanwhile, i did some trying with IRoot en version, did not work but got some suspicious apps installed, also my PC antivirus found the software suspicious. After 2 failed root attempts from iRoot I managed to uninstall the apps that it installed on my phone. Did some reading on the internet and found some troubeleing accusations regarding the vRoot / iRoot software installing crap on users phones. I'll still try rooting with this older version of vRoot and see what happens.
Ok I give up.. I don't know enough about Android. I really don't know why my phone is working perfectly after repartitioning until the first restart after initial setup where it ends up into a boot loop.. I asked help to another XDA member, Elizabeth, who has very good knowledge in repartitioning. Hopefully she can help.
So of all I wanted to do:
1-Repartition for bigger data partition to have more apps (10 apps and phone is already full???)
2-Install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP
3-Root the phone
4-Install XPosed
All I managed to do was root.. everything else not working but I will still give you guys what I used in case you want to mess with it and can manage to get it working
1-Repartitioning
I attached the files I tried to flash
4GB.rar for a 4GB data partition
6GB.rar for a 6GB partition
And I also included the original one from Doogee for Android 5.0 in case you want to try on your own. I never managed to flash using the scatter file. Every time I was flashing the EBR files with the original scatter file and it seemed to work well, until the first reboot. I created my EBR files with this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/howto-modify-ebr-mediatek-devices-t2769604
And tried using these EBR files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455850
But they all resulted in the same boot loop after the first time I restarted the phone (so if you never, ever restart, it works great )
2-Custom recovery
I got a custom recovery from that thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-doogee-titans2-t3115515
and I also attached it here. However it is of course not working either, cannot even get into recovery.
3-Root the phone
Just used the VRoot I attached. I rooted my phone about 9999 times with all the flash I did in the past 36 hours and it usually works on the first/second try, except now that I have reinstalled all my apps and after about 10 times GRRR! So just keep trying, it will work eventually. If after 3 tries it's not working, delete the "KingUser" and "supercleaner" apps, try again 2-3 times, rinse and repeat. I was just unlucky that last time.
4-Install XPosed
I did not even get that far since I never was able to install a custom recovery.. There is a guide on how to install the new alpha version for Lollipop and it doesn't seem very hard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
That's it! Good luck and I hope we'll have more help to put more details and a better guide
Thanks a lot so far! I'll try this tomorrow after work when I have more time
First, sorry for the late reply!
Maybe I'm missing something, but all I get from Vroot is the error 0x000007d1 with "no device found" USB Debugging is enabled and I've installed the universal ADB drivers, can access my phone storage from the Windows explorer, but vroot just won't work.
So, I've tried several things and several adb and mtp drivers on two different computers, but Windows is still telling me that is has no correct driver for MTP. And vroot just keeps telling me it can't find the device and giving me the "helping" text of "USB_DEBUG", which basically opens a link to their forum explaing on how to enable USB Debugging - which I have enabled.
What the hell am I doing wrong?

Hi, i recently update my oppo F3 plus (CPH1613EX_11_A.18_180413 marshmallow), and i try to root it using this method, it's always boot on the stock recovery when i finish (i did step by step every single world you said).
I think that's a security renforcement about this version of colorOs, i wonder if there is a way ton downgrade to the last version without losing my data (lots of apps), because i did root it whit the version that i had once.
Thanks you
Re: So, i flashed my oppo with the msmtool that you put on your post (all images expect datauser partition), and changed the recovery image before the phone boots..... and it woorks perfectly now.
PS: dont upgrade to the version CPH1613EX_11_A.18_180413 if you want root your phone, it won't work.

Did you uncheck "Reset After Download" option in msmtool ?
No, i didn't ; in all case i didn't let the phone boot after passing the recovery.img.
Wich version of rom do you have please ?
EDIT: when i downgrade the rom, it worked perfectly
NB: after downgrading , the first time, the phone boot directly and it was the new version (wich causes me problems) that was on it, even when i had flashing all the system

1. U need to uncheck reset after download option to not let the tool to reboot it phone into os
2. I have upgraded to a.18 build via ota 65mb and root worked. Tested with my own hands
3. Caution: if you dont CHECK userpartition in msmtool, after reboot it asks for Android password to proceed and we don't know that password. It's a checkmate. You need to wipe everything to boot
4. If you have patience please flash Magical 16.0 and test it. For me Wi-Fi is not turning on after flashing magisk.
5. I suggest you to use the twrp 3.1.0. bcoz the latest 3.1.1 does not flash oppo ota (.ozip)

How to root a system without knowing a bit about rooting? Plz Help

Respected Forum Members and Readers,
I am an Android Rooting Enthusiast and I am totally new to this realm of hacking into the device and gaining its full access. I have just known about it through videos on youtube and have myself tried to root my device Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro by following videos not knowing really how the things work in actual and ended up losing original firmware. But since then I have been trying to find how to actually root a system by even reading the Book on Hacking by XDA Developers written by Jason Tyler. I have somewhat came to know the internal working but I am also a bit afraid as to try again to root my device as i really don't know how to do it till now and this time i can really not lose my device. But i still want to gain access of it and explore the infinite advantages of having a rooted device. Plz if anybody can help me walk my way through it.
Rooting a device's Android simply means to add "superuser" ( AKA root ) functionality to Android OS, will say add an Android user with elevated rights ( comparable to Administrator in Windows OS).
Because your phone runs Android 7 ( Nougat ) IMO the most easiest method to root your device's Android: Replace Android's Toybox binary - what is a restricted version by default - by unrestricted Toybox v0.8.5.

it's very simple, i will try to be less technical but bear with me,
so, rooting is simply gaining access to systems core, by core i mean ability to access, modify and write into system (structure and file).
it is a great responsibility, as a simple stupid move can cause system to crash and may also brick your device.
------------------------------ but, don't worry as we here in XDA are there to help you,
as, the device in question is a Samsung j7 pro, normal rooting methods will not work as Samsung by default make it difficult to root it's phone.
you may refer this article to root your phone click here.
----------------------------- but it's some what technical so, i will explain, what is written there in next post.
so, about what's in the article,
--------------------- first things first, you may cause damage to your device so, just to make sure i will not be responsible for any damage.
let's begin, what i will tell you about?
ODIN (a software by Samsung to flash original firmware {that comes with phone})
TWRP(custom recovery, a tool that is installed (flashed using odin )on phone to flash custom rom)
Some tweaks files like RMM State By-Pass.zip and no-verity-opt-encrypt don't think much about them, they just bypass some restriction set by Samsung so, that rooting is successful. you can flash them through TWRP.
you can get link through the article for all required files so,
Download Samsung driver from here,
install them on your PC
download ODIN from here,
after it, open settings app >> about phone >> software info >> then click build number 5-10 times till you are a developer option appears.
after enabling developer option go to developer option, find it using search bar in settings app, it should be inside about phone section.
inside developer option enable USB debugging and also enable OEM unlock option.
after enabling OEM unlock option -----part 2 below.
this was part one if you got all till now you are good to go,
Connect your USB cable with PC. Switch off your device. Then, enter into Download mode. To do this; press and hold down the Volume Down +Home+ Power buttons and connect your micro USB Cable.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Press the Volume Up button to continue when you see the warning message.
Now, connect the Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro mobile to the computer via USB cable.
download and extract odin downloaded earlier.
launch odin by clicking on odin.exe file
After connecting the Samsung device, click on the PDA/PA button to browse/search and get the TWRP from where you saved it on your PC. Also, navigate to “options” and save settings like shown below.​
after all this your phone should reboot automatically, and voila you have successfully flashed twrp on your device.
now power off your phone,
boot into twrp by pressing Volume Up + Home+ Power Button
then, it will boot into twrp.
Select Wipe->Advance Wipe->Select Cache Data
Return to Home of TWRP select Install
Select Magisk.zip (you can download magisk from github of magisk or from here )
slide to install.
same process for RMM State By-Pass.zip and no-verity-opt-encrypt install file one by one.
after all the process you should reboot into system.
then download magisk app and now you have root access, enjoy and like the post if you want.

Thank You for taking pains to elaborate the process. i just want to ask one question are you sure this method won't brick my device this time. Sorry i am being like that because the phone i have mentioned is my mother's so she would be really pissed if it does not go right. And if my device gets stuck in boot loop rather being bricked can it still be recovered...

don't worry bro if you follow every step properly it will not brick, but to be on safe side backup internal storage and app data before starting to root your moms phone.
and if some thing goes wrong i am here for you, generally speaking phones does not brick during magisk installation.

no and yes, if twrp flashes properly no
else yes
@Arihant0908
take note that in order to root Android by means of Magisk, as recommended / advised by @[email protected], neither ODIN nor TWRP is needed: flashing TWRP in this case - as a necessary prerequisite - is an absolute overkill.
All you need is to install Magisk Root app.

take note mr./mrs. @jwoegerbauer
if you know anything about magisk then you should know that it is not a one click root tool, you need to flash magisk for you to gain root access.
next, yes you only need to boot twrp but in case of samsung we need custom recovery to fix errors so it's good to have it flashed. odin helps remove complexity, and is safe to use.
i was trying to provide best stable and tested path and don't interfere if you don't know anything about topic, i humble request not to confuse people @jwoegerbauer

Ok so... in the end what i have understood is that:
1. I need to have Magisk.zip, RMM and no verity encrypt files on Phone.
2. I need TWRP, odin and android usb driver by samsung for windows 10 installed on pc.
3. I need to first flash TWRP using odin. Boot up my device
4. Then boot to TWRP, wipe cache, and flash Magisk.zip, RMM and no verity one by one as in one thing at a time using TWRP. Boot up and install magisk app.
If i missed something, disordered anything or have any suggestions then plz reply. Thank You
