Your waiting Time IS Now Finished Here is Complete Guide to Root Doogee X5 Max Pro install twrp And More,
Hit :good:
ADB & Fastboot
Before doing most things mentioned below you will need "adb" and "fastboot" installed. Two of your options are to install the Android SDK Tools or the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool. If you are somewhat new to this I highly recommend the second one. Go here, download the latest version (1.3.1 as of this writing), and install it. When setup is complete you should have an icon for the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool.
Note: I highly recommend you add "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot" to your PATH variable in Windows. This way you can open a Command Prompt anywhere and use adb or fastboot.
1) Unlock Bootloader
Power on the phone and skip through all of the setup options
Go to Settings -> About device
Tap Build number five times to enable Developer options
Go to Settings -> Developer options
Enable OEM unlocking
Enable USB debugging
Plug the phone in to your PC and authorize it
Open a Command Prompt
Type adb reboot-bootloader
The phone should reboot and in a very tiny font at the bottom you should see => FASTBOOT mode
Type fastboot devices to verify that your PC sees it correctly
Type fastboot oem unlock
Press Volume Up to say Yes and wait for this to finish
Type fastboot getvar all and look for (bootloader) unlocked: yes
Type fastboot reboot
You should see your phone reboot a couple times as it erases the phone
Install twrp-
Power on the phone
You can configure your phone now or just skip through all of the setup options and do that later
Go to Settings -> About device
Tap Build number five times to enable Developer options
Go to Settings -> Developer options
Enable OEM unlocking
Enable USB debugging
Plug the phone in to your PC and authorize it
Open a Command Prompt to wherever you extracted the .img file
Type adb reboot-bootloader
The phone should reboot and in a very tiny font at the bottom you should see => FASTBOOT mode
Type fastboot devices to verify that your PC sees it correctly, rename twrp to recovery.img
type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to flash recovery
Type fastboot reboot
Rooting-
Download BETA-SuperSU.zip and save it to the phone's internal memory or an inserted microSD card
Plug the phone in to your PC
Open a Command Prompt
Type adb reboot recovery
You should now be in twrp. Go to Install zip, find SuperSU.zip, and install it
When it finishes go to Go Back -> Reboot Phone -> No
Once the phone boots up launch SuperSU and configure it as you like
Other Solutions-
i have doogee x5 max-s (i geuss limited editon in algeria ) with mtk6735 . i do evrything and all steps but when i reboot to recovery mode i have ( no command ) in the screen .... how to fix that ? sorry for my ****ty english XD
I had the same Issue but i have found a solution!
After you have flashed the twrp recovery, dont reboot the phone! the "recovery.sh" will replace the twrp on every boot!
Just pull off the battery after flashing, disconnect usb and put the battery back in to the phone.
Now get in to the recovery by pressing volume up and power button together until the select bootmode menue appears.
select recovery with the volume up button and enter with the volume down button.
and now you should be in the twrp main menue.
i hope it works for you too!

It does not work from step 12, all the drives are correctly installed and windows recognizes the cell, the recovery image is in the internal memory and also in the sd but of the error "can not load Recovery.img". I tried all the tutorials on the net to do root and nothing worked.The flash does not recognize to pass the recovery also the installed drivers because windows recognizes the cell phone.

use sp flash tools to flash recovery, scatter also added with twrp
Flash does not pass the file in the download only option, the process does not start. I reinstalled ROM by firmware mode all ok, but the process of passing recovery on command 12 and 13 of the error message. I manually copied the recovery to the sd and internal memory but also from the error. Does not find the file speaks that it is not a command found.

Until today I could not do root on x5 max pro. In the method below even downloading the twrp when starting with the power + volume down button start with a menu in Chinese and if you start with volume up + power goes in the default recovery mode.
Same as Pitro1 I am on 16.01 update and I cannot install twrp no matter what I try.
I tried x32 and x64. I tried rebooting directly on recovery or first load system and then adb reboot recovery. I tried to format all first (now I lost my Imei and so on lol). I downgraded and updated again. Downgrading works only with 26.12 version. All others are giving me Colorado lines on the screen and nothing else...
OEM unlock, file transfer, adb, fastboot, drivers detection, are all working good. Only I cannot install twrp...
Also I cannot write nvram nor with SN Writer 2.1504 nor with Imei & SN Writer 1.7.2, MetaAP mode fails all the time...
I'm just about to send it back...

How old is your phone and what build version was it at before you started? Because this doesn't work on mine. Which of the "Android 6" ROMs did you flash to start with as I've tried flashing mine back to an earlier one in case it's something with the later stuff that my phone has come with but they either don't make a difference or they won't even boot.
I tried the method in the first post here and the phone wouldn't even boot (switch on and you get the Doogee logo in silver for a few seconds then it reboots and does the same again). I had to flash the stock ROM from NeedROM to get it working again.
I've tried flashing TWRPx32 and x64 available NeedROM both with SPFlash tools and with ADB. Generally flashing it with ADB from the command line leaves the phone in that boot-loop. If I flash it with SPFlash when you try to boot into Bootloader afterwards you get the Doogee logo in silver for a few seconds then it seems to reboot again on it's own and boot normally - you don't even get the menu to choose Fastboot, Recovery or Normal. From then on trying to boot to the Bootloader gives you the menu but choosing Recovery gives you the standard recovery.
It's almost as if something is overwriting the recovery partition with the original after I flash TWRP onto it.
Anyone got any suggestions about where I might be going wrong or a way around whatever additional security they might have put in there?
Hi. I have tried to root my x5 max pro with flash tools to load TWRP, but it always restarts normally and the TWRP does not come out. I found you and I started to try this method to load the TWRP. Does everything good, unload bootloader and load recovery, but loading the TWRP gives me error .:
Device unauthorized.
This adb's $ ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is nor set; Try adb kil-server if that seems wrong
what I do?
rooting X5 Max pro in Ubuntu 16.04
Hi all, this is my first china phone and I basically bought it only to experiment, I'm a linux power user but this is the first time I 'play' with an android OS.
thanks to multiple guides and posts on this and other forums I'm getting somewhere and learning a lot about how to manage an android OS, I'm sharing a bit of info I unovered about doing this under ubuntu but I'm also stuck and in need of guidance, please help me.
Linux specific issues:
I'm running ubuntu 16.04 LTS, installed fastboot and adb tools from ubuntu repos, with these tools and no other modification to my system I could follow the tutorial on how to unlock the OEM bootloader with adb and fastboot.
accordingly to this post about SP flash tool in linux you might need to blacklist a modem manager module in order for SP flash tool to connect to the phone, you also need to install usb development tools (package libusb-dev) and check through dmesg that your linux OS can actually properly read mediatek usb devices.
After following the above mentioned instructions (both the linux sp flash tool tutorial and the bootloader unlocking howto) I could get SP flash tool linux (multiple version) to see the phone after you connect it while SP flash is downloading the new recovery image and flash it with an ok message.
If you get stuck with a BROM error 1013 remember to start sp flash tool with root privileges.
Phone specific issues:
I can get SP flash tool to flash my phone recovery with an ok message confirmation but the phone keeps rebooting with doogee recovery and not twrp. I'm on the newest stock ROM update (20170116) as of current post date. I've been using 32 bit TWRP images from multiple sources and linux version 5.1620 of spflash tool from their website
so my questions are as following:
1) after reading other posts I think I might have to play with different versions of SP flash tool and TWRP until I get the right combination, I think I might be using 64bit spflash tool for linux to flash a 32bit rom or something like that, can anybody confirm precise version number of the stock rom, TWRP and SP flash tool that worked out for you?
2) should I try to install the whole stock ROM posted in this chinadevices thread before trying to flash only TWRP recovery? please also check the linked thread for multiple custom ROM being ported to this phone, please also note that the full stock rom this poster uploaded (it's in the "all firmware" link) contains another flashing tools with chinese instruction called MultiDownloadTool.
www.china-devices.com/forum/index.php?threads/doogee-x5-max-pro-mt6737-custom-roms.20527/
3) I don't have access to a windows installation right now, but I do have a Win10 VM under Vmware workstation 12 pro, so I could try windows version of sp flash tool, do you guys think that USB passthrough would work?

Same here. May a work around would be finding out the oem commands in fastboot. I have seen a tutorial to get them, but you have to be root: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-discover-hidden-fastboot-commands/
I search a simple method
Why all so complicate? I am searching for a simple way to root.
For my old Doogee X5, I discovered just
update-ROOT-DOOGEE_X5.zip
Copy the zip to the micro-SD-card
Settings -> Phone info -> Update -> menu "update local" -> choose zip from micro-SD-card.
Start update.
That's all!
Now I search for such a simple solution for my new Doogee X5 MAX pro.
I do not want any methods with "volume down power", because my X5 MAX pro has the menus after "Volume down power" start in Chinese language.

Hi there,
I just tried the first file you posted, (twrp-x32-rom), and this one works for me after all previous attempts to boot up TWRP failed. Thanks for the link !
What I had tried before:
I have a relatively new X5 Max Pro, which I ordered a week ago. I updated the firmware to the newest version (20170116) using the OTA update function.
Then I tried to flash TWRP using the files from "needrom.com" which seem to have worked on older versions of the phone/firmware, but did not work for the newer versions.
I tried 32bit and 64bit TWRP versions and flashed them with SP flash tool, but when pressing Vol+/Power the phone would not boot into TWRP recovery. Insted, when selecting "Recovery" from the boot menu, the phone would show the Doogee logo in silver, then blink once, then boot up normally. When repeating this process, then phone boots into Stock recovery, indicating that the TWRP I flashed was replaced by stock recovery.
However, I just flashed the recovery.img from "TWRP LATEST" (the first file posted by Neaw) with SP flash tools and was finally able to boot into TWRP. I installed the superSU-zip 2.79 included in the link, and I am now rooted. Once again, thanks for posting this :good:

Doogee X5 MAX! SERIUS PROBLEM......
Hello Guys i have a serious problem with my phone.....i have Malware on it and i cant uninstall it or anything alse.....the worst thing is that my phone not responding in any connection except that charging.....i can't have access on my storage cause this is not allowed or gives the choice! i tried everything but nothing nor the usb debugging or anything else please give me your help!!!!
Hey all.
I've looked far and wide and cannot find a solution for my phone. I was following this tutorial (Sorry can't post links)(Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP and Root ZTE Axon 7 (A2017G) Droidviews) and got all the way to unlocking my bootloader. Did all the steps correctly but when I clicked start on my unlocked bootloader it went to the ZTE logo and never actually started. I then held the power button down until the device restarted and went into twrp and tried installing lineage and gapps because somewhere I read that someone fixed this problem by installing an update.zip file for nougat 7.0. I used this tutorial (Again cannot post links)(How to Install Lineage OS 14.1 on ZTE Axon 7 Droidviews) to install lineage. Needless to say that did not work and my device was stick stuck in the ZTE logo so I went back into twrp and tried installing the update.zip file for B11. Now my device goes past the ZTE logo but then goes to the bootloader. When I click the power button to boot a Linux symbol appears on my screen and will not leave until I hold the power button for 20 seconds or so, then it goes into what I assume is the default axon 7 recovery. It has a few options such as; reboot device, reboot into bootloader, update via microSD card, update via ADB. When I try to reboot noramlly or to bootloader the previous Linux screen happens. I can't use any commands on ADB aside from sideload and am kinda stuck. Any help would be very much thanked...
P.S. all this has happened on my A2017G that was running Nougat 7.0 B11.
FOUND A SOLUTION!!!
Because I wasn't able to use adb or fastboot in the bootloader or the recovery mode that inbuilt into the phone, I had to instead go into factory test mode by powering on the device whilst holding the power down button, it took a few tries and I kept accidently going into the bootloader instead but eventually I got it. Then you can connect your phone to adb and run the command "adb reboot edl" after that use "axon7tools -w recovery". This didn't work at first for me because I was using an older version of TWRP. After a heap of frustration I finally tried downloading the newest version and voila! It worked. From there I was able to go into TWRP recovery and unlock my bootloader and then finally reboot my phone. Lots of stress but glad I found a solution.
I don't think anyone has posted that adb works in the test menu. good to know.
Hi!
I borrowed this tablet from a friend who said I could use it for awhile. I was installing OTA OS updates to the device and I think I inadvertently hit the power button at a bad time while futzing with putting it in a case. Now it won't boot and just hangs on the LENOVO logo screen.
I can hold volume up + power and get to the Android 8.1 Recovery menu. I've cleared all the data and cache, but that didn't fix it. I think I will have to restore the firmware on it, but am open to other suggestions.
Now, finding that firmware has been a real challenge. It looks like a russian "lenovo forums" website hosted the file at one point, and literally everything links to that russian website and file, but all I get is a 404 when trying to download the firmware file. I was able to find the Tab4 8 Plus file, but that doesn't match this tablet.
I already told my friend who said not to worry about it, but I feel bad and want to fix it. I can't find anything useful on the Lenovo support pages, except other people mentioning the russian website and getting the firmware file from there. Thanks for any help you can provide.
This is the site that I keep getting links to: -x--snip--x- I guess I can't post URLs yet since this is a new account.
Some of the OTA incremental updates I can download, but I need to find the full firmware file. Judging by the linking to this file I see in other threads and forums, this file link stopped working sometime between July 2019 and today. Thank you.
I was just in a similar situation yesterday.

I'm just a noob, but i recovered from a similar scenario this morning... I found that pushing volume+ and powering on doesn't enter EDL like it needs to, but rather boots to TWRP, if you can boot into the ROM you can run the command "adb reboot edl" which gets it into the Emergency Download Mode. I would imagine that you could boot into TWRP then run a similar command in the terminal

See don't panic I was in the exactly same condition a week before. I can feel you but thats what I can suggest you, to don't panic.
Just follow these steps-
1- Open lmsa and then go to downloaded section , there you can see the downloaded firmware , at below of the screen you can see a option of changing file location of the downloaded firmware,
Change the firmware location to the desktop for your easier access.
2- After that install the mi flash tool from the internet, and extract it in the pc desktop for easy access.
3- Open mi flash tool and select the downloaded firmware , you can select it by click on load firmware.
It can might say that the downloaded file is not a fastboot rom but you can ignore it.
4- Now click on the configurations option in the mi flash and there you can see a option of loading patch xml and raw xml , both of these files will be showed you have to just click on them.
5-Now , insert usb cable into your pc and then press both vol +,- simultaneously and insert the micro usb cable while keep pressing it .
6- Click on refresh and when you will see your device , just hit flash.
And it will be flashed in less than 5 min.
And you will have your device working again
Hello. I have tried to install a custom recovery (TWRP) on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0" (SM-T290) today, however, it has not exactly gone to plan. I will run over exactly what I did, and what troubleshooting steps I have taken so far.
I was following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-to-install-lineageos-18-1-gsi-gapps.4418289/
I downloaded this version of ODIN: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/patched-odin-3-13-1.3762572/
I unlocked the bootloader through the bootloader menu and enabled USB debugging after the tablet had turned on.
Flashed the firmware using ODIN to: XAR-T290XXU3CUK4
I downloaded and used the latest .md5.tar TWRP: twrp-3.6.1_11-0-T290XXU3CUK4-20220327.tar.md5
ODIN Successfully flashed TWRP and the device rebooted. I attempted to get straight into the recovery by holding volume up, however, the screen remained black.
The tablet now cannot boot into recovery, download mode, etc, and only the backlight of the screen turns on. The tablet does eventually "boot up" and give the little vibration, at which point my computer recognises it, but I cannot see any files on the tablet.
I cannot also see the tablet with ADB using the command "adb devices", meaning I cannot use any ADB commands to attempt to reboot into recovery, download mode, etc.
I am assuming the device is fully bricked at this point, however, I would be appreciative if any possible solutions could be suggested, and if where I went wrong can be pointed out so I do not make the same mistake in the future.
Thanks in advance.
Well, if you want my two cents I bet on that twrp not just being a recovery but containing also other stuff not being flashed into the right place could have caused what you describe, in fact I wonder how you are supposed to flash something that belong to bootloader to recovery. Open that recovery in 7z and you will see it. Also the files inside that tar.md5 are compressed again using .lz4 where another recovery posted by the same author is double the size and is just a recovery.img as we should expect. In my opinion this serves other purposes: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14655340768118442879 and should not be used, Instead the one on onedrive seems the right one.
