I'm kinda new to unlocked bootloaders (been using lock VZW moto devices since the D2G)...
I'd like some help in getting my new RAZR i running at it's best. I think I know the steps, but I'm still missing some things... I know I need to...
1. Unlock bootloader via Moto's website
2. CWM by turl1 (is the November 2012 version the most recent, or am I missing something? How do I flash this .img file?)
3. Do I need to root or can I just flash a new ROM from CWM?
4. I think I'd like to tryout Omar-Avelar's 4.1.2 ROM, it looks really good.
I've rooted and rommed several devices (D2G, Droid Pro, D3, GNex, RAZR M, DX), but looking at all the info I can find on the RAZR i, I just keep getting more confused.
Please help, guys! I'd really love to just flash the hell out of this phone when I get it tomorrow and not worry about it anymore :good:
I dropped VZW and my RAZR M, and bought a RAZR i for Straight Talk... a day later Motorola announces that they want to make new phones that are smaller, indestructible, and stock Android. My vision for the perfect phone (except I'd like a slide out QWERTY)... but I'm still excited to show Intel some smartphone love. Is that why the rest of you are here?
Anyways, thanks in advance guys!
1. There is a nice guide by mattlgroff how to unlock the bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928551
Just read the OP and follow the steps.
2. I don't know if there is a newer image, but the image you found will work too.
After you have unlocked the bootloader, reboot into fastboot mode and connect to your pc. Open the command-line in the directory with the fastboot.exe (if you use Windows) (you get the required files from mattlgroff's thread). Then copy your cwm image file in the same folder and type the following command:
fastboot flash recovery <name of your cwm image>.img
Then press enter and wait until the flash process finished.
3. There is no need to root. Just flash custom rom(which are prerooted) via cwm.
4. It's your choice
Hoping the best, sorry for bad English.

Thanks for your help!
I got my RAZR I unlocked, CWMed, and ROMed.
It's much smoother than my RAZR M is. Looking at them side by side, you can also see that the RAZR M's display is a little bit yellowed compared to the RAZR I. I thought they were exactly the same.
Anyways, thank you for the help!

Hi guys, today I am going to share this simple tutorial on how to root without unlocking bootloader of sprout.. Many people asked me how to do so I am here to create a simple tut for everyone..
Requirements
1. Any custom recovery for sprout (I prefer philz http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...e-general/sprout-philz-touch-v6-57-9-t2887574 )
2. Fastboot files (google for minimal fastboot) and fastboot drivers
3. Supersu update zip (http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu)
Proceedure
1. Install fastboot drivers and fastboot files..
2. Rename the custom recovery as "recovery.img"
3. Place the recovery.img within fastboot directory (where the fastboot.exe located)
4. Put supersu.zip in root of your phone's sd card
5. Connect your android one device to pc using usb cable in fastboot mode (switch off phn and press power+vol up and then select fastboot)
6. Use the following fastboot command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
This command will not flash the recovery, it will just let your phone boot into recovery and it will work on locked bootloader
7. You will get the recovery menu then. Install the previously downloader supersu.zip from external sd card using the recovery menu.
8. Congratulation, You have successfully rooted your android one device without unlocking bootloader...:good:
Here is a video guide created by @thesaurabh7777, u can check it..

thanks
Thank you. Just what i wanted.
Anyone tried? And how to unroot if needed ?
UPDATE : I tried. It works and works like charm. I have created CWM backup of my stock ROM, rooted device and installed xposed also.
You can always unroot from settings in SuperSu - Which essentially removes itself and su binaries.

Hi, if I root my device this way, just to backup some apps via TB, and not modify the system any other way, are you sure just unrooting will be enough to safely apply the Kitkat to Lollipop OTA?
I've read about this new "verified boot" thing in Lollipop, which essentially means if you modify system partition in any way, even if just to add the SU app/binaries, the OTA will fail (where it obviously didn't use to, before lollipop). I'm not sure if this verified boot thing will apply to the OTA for Kitkat to Lollipop too, or just updates From Lollipop to future versions.
(AP did an article just a couple of weeks back, check it out here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...e-means-update-will-fail-system-modified-way/ )
I have made a backup of Stock ROM before rooting it,so when LOLLIPOP arrives and in case i have changes some system files, i can simply restore the stoock ROM to recieve the updates right???

Hello, guys! I've discovered a very easy way to root sony e1 with the final build version : 20.1.B.2.29
1. u need to install Philz Touch recovery over a clean Stock ROM.
2. after installing recovery, put superSU & Busybox zip files in the root of ur SD card.
3. go to recovery & select the 2 zip files & flash them 1 by 1. preferably flash superSU 1st.
4. boot normally, & update superSU binary, when it asks - select TWRP/CWM.
5. if u don't like the stock calling apk, then I'm here including Falcon ROM's 'InCallUI.apk'.
6. go to root explorer, system/priv-app & replace the stock one with this one. apply correct permissions RW-R-R (0644).
7. again go to recovery & wipe cache & Dalvik cache.
8. 1st time will take a little more than usual with the standard "Android is upgrading" & then u r good to go! hope, I helped. Enjoy, friends!
9. Note : no files r my creation. all the credits go to XDA developers, I'm just reuploading them for ur easy access. I'm going to attach 2 superSU zip files, if 1 fails, the other 1 will make it, I'm sure. only superSU v.1.94, I got from google drive, except that all the files r XDA's property. Thanx to all.
How to install recovery over stock android?
Sent from my Moto G using Tapatalk
u need to know, if ur particular phone model does have a custom recovery? that's 1st step. if u can find a custom recovery, then there'll be some kind of flashing software depending on ur brand of phone. i think, Flashify could be used for flashing zip files & .img files...etc. let me know, what recovery r u searching for? and, if u r talking about stock recovery, then probably u need to flash ur stock rom.
Okay i am talking about flashing philz over sony stock rom..flashify work??
And is it necessary to unlock ? bootloader??
I think it's necessary to unlock bootloader 1stly & then Flashify should be able to flash the boot.img.

But flashify works with root access..

that's why, u need to flash recovery 1st. SPTool should be able to do that. Even if ur bootloader is locked, try with sptool & see the result.

Can be unlock boot loader through flashtool?
Sent from my Moto G using Tapatalk
yes. I think there's a way to unlock it through flashtool. But, I did it after searching Google, & u need to send ur device ID or something to Sony website help section. Provide ur mail ID there. They'll give u a link that contains the code for ur specific devices's unlocking, & that link'll be available for 24 hours only. So, as soon as u get the link from them, go to the provided link & unlock ur bootloader. in the link page they'll also provide the guide about how to unlock it. Good Luck!
Hi,
I'm having a problem installing TWRP on my doogee X5, in order to root the device. I have tried to flash the recovery with sp flash tool, and every time I try, I can boot to the boot mode menu, select "recovery" and see the doogee logo for a while, then a black screen, then the doogee logo again, following into a normal boot.
This is the X5, not the X5 pro.
firmware on phone: "DOOGEE-X5-B-Android5.1-2016.03.18"
Any help?
PS: I don't want to use kingroot to root the phone, as I also want xposed.
I'm looking for a solution to that very problem too. Let's see if someone comes to help!
Exactly the same goes here too. Probably there's not an updated TWRP for V18 which I am using. I have not the slightest idea who could help us.
Rooting Doogee X5 / TWRP install
Here's what worked for me, thought I'd share this.
Out of the box was on version 18 and wanted to root , so i blindly installed King Root which did work, i then installed Supeer SU me which changed the king root to super user. After that over a week i read that TWRP 3.0.2 worked for one person so using Flashify i flashed the recovery image , after changing it to recovery.img and it worked . Such luck right, i went on to read the forums as im in love with this device , Wakefield helpful was NEEDROM.com , you need to register but there are many roms and tools for mediatek 6580soc . Out of curiosity i downloaded some rar. File roms ACS different fish tools. The best to use if you've only got oneX5 is SP flash tool. Also look for mediatek vcom drivers which auto installs the correct drivers. There are easy to follow you tube videos fur flashing using SP Flash tool. The latest version had been updated for simplicity. the process basically is ( load .bin file in its respective area,( from Flash tool) and load scatter.txt in its box ( from rar. File) the whole interface will polemist populate plug go to format hit start plug in turned off phone without battery, it'll give red then yellow bar and a check, then unplug hi to firmware screen and choose to start dload only except bootloader, start , plug wait for coloured bars and check your done. i even had gotten errors due to a faulty dload and repeated the process till i got it. I understand that not all have the patience for this, therefore i suggest using flash tool of king root messes up though that's rare.
An alternative to supersu me is to root with king root then install twrp with flashify then you can uninstall / repack king root and flash Updateroot.Script available by someone on needrom. That includes super user and busy box. Then installxposed. Etc.
* Each process in the above proven tuturial has been obtained online from other sites not just xda. I've chosen 5.1 as an idealOS for me, I can't say the route to take fur Marshmallow.
This is for -b and non b only version 18, and 19. All others take your own chances but it's resilient chip so have fun.
(SOLVED just flash DOOGEE-X5-HOT2-6.0.zip and the twrp from the rom is installed and works after rebooting in recovery mode.) after flashing CWM recovery
Listed: 10/28/2016 11:16 pm
ROM Version: 6.0 / 5.1 to my doogeex5 (flashing succeed) i got an green android logo with an error sighn(see picture)and some chinese letters...
in normal boot no problem,also upgrading to android 6 (flashed) gave no problem...
how to get new recovery(flashing other recovery`s gave same output exept the chinese sighns disapeard)
kingroot V4.80 couldnt root my doogeex5 after 27%rooting it says cant root device
also doesnt the system update in `my device` recognice the memory card ...no sd card inserted...
any suggestions?
I have a similar problem. Unlocking the boot loader works fine, but i can't seem to find a working twrp file for my phone.
I have an X5 pro (x5pro-android5.1-r17-2015.07.01). I tried different twrp recoverys from needrom and i can flash them to the device, but if i try to boot into recovery i only get the robot with the red warning triangle. Rest of the phone works fine, but i'd like to get a working custom recovery.
Can anyone help me?
So i rooted my phone with kingroot and i wanted to install a custom recovery without breaking the device how should i move next ? My X5 is an old motherboard version android 5.1 V15-2015.11.02 and that was the last official fota update for me. Is there any ofgicial upgrade suitable for my model like android 6.0 ? Two more things. My battery goes down rapidly and i dont know if its battery or chargers problem what should i do ?
http://www.needrom.com/category/doogee/serial-x-doogee/x5-doogee/
even without rooted phone you can flash a lot of roms from above link and read how to
Yeah i noticed this site man but says you need to register first. And one more thing spft always detects scatter files as invalid or maybe not legal even from the official site of doogee. I use the spft from doogeemobile site.
I am using SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Linux_v5.1520.00.100 with ubuntu(linux) maybe try an other flashtool edition,registering needrom is simple just making username and make a password when you are registered take the inifix hot 2.6.0 for the x5 flash it and you have got also a TWRP from wich you can root or install also the .zip roms etc.
I mentioned the inifix hot2.6.0 because that was the one i had succes even with a bricked recovery caused by flashing a cwm recovery without rooting first.
Well i just want for sure make a backup of my current rom without wiping it. I guess the infinit will delete all. Plus i also want to install recovery having rooted it 1st which is easy i think on 5.1. I have the one with the old motherboard not the -b. To sum up i want to install the official updated rom V20 via sd (which i tried and didnt work) luckily it didnt brick or via spft which doesnt load scatter file says is not valid no matter if i use latest or older version of spft in order to flash it manually. Its risky to root and install a recovery by an apk without having my rom backed up 1st. And even with the spft i cant do that. I just want to fix my battery status. Thats all. I use xp pro os.
indeed it is hard to install android 5.1 roms on the doogee x5with a twrp,al the 5.1 roms i could flash,but then i bricked the recovery,wich made no differend for the installed 5.1 roms,they just work.i can only install a working twrp by flashing Infinix Hot 2 6.0,wich is a 6.0 rom,but as far as i know you cant install a 5.1 rom with a 6.0 twrp... error 7.
Thats why we will end this discussion for now and wait for future solutions. Thx for your concern man. I just dont want to brick it since it runs smoothly with 5.1. As i said before i wanted to install the latest (official stock) V20 rom recently released. But i cant do it even from the tutorial that exists on their forum. It's a use of spft but i cant manage to do it. Scatter file always invalid.V20 Rom fixes some bugs and displays your interface like on 6.0 android version. We talk mate.

Help?
Having tried to install TWRP it is rejected
Having downloaded twrp_x5max.img from needrom and used the adp method of installing the TWRP.img (https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/). I get the following error message. "writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: download for partition 'recovery' is not allowed".
So How do I get the TWRP img loaded into the Doogee X5Max (not pro) android with marshmallow?
I have tried using SP FlashTool and it says installed successfully, but I still get the default recovery program, after the dead robot with triangle and a exclamation mark inside, when booting into recovery using keys or adb command.
Is there another way of getting this image file loaded into the recovery partition?
I have followed all the set up steps in developers mode, so why cannot I use adb?
How to root the phone what is the first step I have to do ?? For upgrade to cm12 to cm14 .. I am a begginer please tell me step by step ...
1Download kingo root app
2 download rashr
3flash twrp recovery
4download any ROM and gapps
5 clean flash but before that make backup
I think much of what you seek can be achieved by reading these instructions carefuly. Be sure to do exactly as mentioned in the lines, especially if it is your first time. Good luck.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash twrp
3. That's it, now flash any rom via recovery.
