Hi, I ordered the 5.5 inch Doogee Dagger DG550 in white last week from Gearbest, I received it with DHL Express after just 3 days. I did not want to spend much, but still wanted a nice phone, so that's the reason I picked the DG550. For me it seemed to be a good choice and the design is very similar to the inew v3. (just bigger). I know it has been already out for some months, but the start price was too high for my taste, so I got it now because Doogee this month made a pricedrop on the DG550.
So I thought I will give you my version of a full review of the phone! So far I am very impressed with the phone and the stylish design. I especially like this model with the white frame because it makes the black screen look even nicer - and it stands more out than the all black version.

like version 4.4.2 (real) - 4.2 - 4.2.9 (fake version / stock)
MIUI 4.9.5 Multi-Language (10/10/2014) ported by xGMERZ can be found here
http://www.needrom.com/download/miui-4-9-5-multi-language/
ROOT 4.4.2 KitKat
ROOT KitKat with http://www.shuame.com/en/root/ - it may takes 2-3 tries before it end up with success, but it DO work in the end. Remember to reboot the device after the ROOT succeded.
Camera & Samples
With HDR and without HDR
Indoor / closeup
Normal outdoor shots (standard auto settings)
Root
Root the ROM (works also for Kitkat) with RootGenius http://www.shuame.com/en/root/
Memory & RAM
The phone comes 1GB RAM and 1,5GB internal, and 12,2GB storage.
It also supports micro sdcards up to 64GB.
For normal daily use this is fine, the phone runs very smooth. Only thing is that I could wish to have more than 1.5GB internal for apps, but I guess this can be hacked/changed with other EBR files.
Wifi & reception
The WiFi has a very good range, and it is really fast. Have used it a lot the last days and zero problems. The reception I would say is average and normal. Like on most MTK6592 phones.
Batterylife
The batterylife is very good on the DG550. I can use it over 1 day with normal usage.
It also support special power saving management (Power Saving, Lower Power Mode, Screen Saving Mode) so if you want to save the battery during the day, just activate this.
Antutu Benchmark 5
I get 28340 in score with 4.4 Kitkat

Cons & Pros
Good
- Clear and sharp screen, real OGS/IPS, when the screen is off it is totally black!
- Vivid screen and good viewing angles. The touch sensitivity is perfect!
- The sound from the earspeaker is in my DG550 pretty loud, I don't think it is low
- The build quality seems to be good, I have no crooked corners or something like that
- It is a bit heavy in the hand, but in the nice way, feels like quality
- Supports OTA, so you can update the phone
- Supports Power Saving management (different settings possible) and CPU power limiter
- Very fast and good GPS
- Good WiFi range with good speed
- Battery is good for 1-2 days with normal usage
- It is smooth and has stable software
- The compass works fine after you have calibrated the sensors
- Backlight in the softbuttons
Bad
- No notification LED
- Does not come with Kitkat 4.4 out of the box, but you can flash it yourself
- The backcover feels just like matt thin plastic
- Soundquality and reception is average, not bad but also not super good
- No NFC or wireless charging builtin
- Only 1GB ram, but it still runs very smooth
My verdict
The Doogee Dagger DG550 is a very stylish smartphone - especially in white. It is very cheap, and for the money you get a lot of smartphone. It is hard not to be impressed about the big sharp screen when you have it in the hand. It is smooth out of the box but of course even more with Kitkat 4.4 and has no software bugs. If you want a cheap phone and does not need things like NFC and wireless charging then the DG550 is a very good choice in my opinion. I personally give it 9/10 - I love the phone!
Very stylish simple design!

Hi s7yler,
I bought one too, but I have some issues. My phone stuck on boot and now after recovery with original rom I don't have IMEI and signal. I resolved the Imei problem but I don't have signal yet.
Other problem is some apps like Antutu do the phone restart.
Do you have a original backup and a backup made MTK Droid Tools. I sent message to Doogee support but I didn't receive answer.
Tks

Did you try 4.4 rom? Flash it with SP flash tool v5.1408.00
For imei problem you need SN Writer 2.1324.0 (google it)
Where do you live? Make sure that your carrier supports GSM 2G: 850/900/1800/1900 and 3G: WCDMA 850/2100MHz

I used this phone about 3 days with no problem. After this stuck I can't do this work perfectly again.
I tried 4.4 but the problem is the same. I resolved the Imei problem with the MTK droid tools and MTK engineering mode. I can see the corret Imei but no signal yet.

Ok that sounds strange, are you sure it is not a hardware error? Did you buy it from new?
I would try this
1. Factory reset phone completly
2. Flash new ROM
3. Wipe all caches/dalvik/factory reset again
4. Check IMEI number and SIM card.
5. If still no signal, try change to 2G only or choose manually search for network instead of automatically
Are you sure you got the correct IMEI into the phone? and you dont need MTK engineering mode.
Just have the phone rooted, then start MTK droid tools, on the first screen (where all the info is) then hit the button IMEI/NVRAM (button is only avaiable if your rooted) and a new window will popup, here you can insert the IMEI number in both fields, and save it to the phone. After that restart phone and thats it.
Regarding Antutu, did you also try Antutu X? (Antutu 5) from the Play Store.
Original ROM (it is called 4.2.9) can be found on needrom.com - just search for DG550.

Did you try these sims on another phone.
Sometimes Mobile network itself deny registration of the sim in the network due to some issues.
This happens often when you use a super sim which is used to bypass sim lock.
It can easily be resolved by putting the sim on another phone and resister in the network manually.

Yes, I did all this steps. First time I changed the Imei with Mtk engineering mode other time with MTK droid Tools, but the problem is the same.
When a run Antutu X it's restart in the same part after the mini droid, a screen like fireworks.
I'm using the original rom and I tried other three roms.

Contact Doogee and check if you still have warranty and send it back, your phone is not normal. I have no issues at all with mine, works perfect, even the loudspeaker is clear and loud (something which has previously been criticized).
Maybe you have a fake version. Do you have the mark on the side of the box you can scratch? to verify that it is original Doogee product?

I don't know where you have read that. But in the Doogee Dagger DG550 treads I have been following people have had no problems with the screen. And actually the screen is really good, and the sensitivity is much better than on some other Chinese phones - I have never read about anyone having screen problems. So I don't agree with that, actually this phone is really good for the very low price. And Doogee also have supported it really good.

The DG550 screen is lovely. I did manage to get a small scrape on the screen just before my case arrived, but it is really great quality.
On the subject of phone signals, I have two SIMS in mine and can get a 3G signal with either of them. The only strange thing is that, with my Virgin SIM (my main account), t works perfectly except when I'm at home. When at home, the phone thinks that I'm roaming! (Roaming is off on my account). Yesterday I was out with a good H+ signal, got home and it switched back to roaming. I can force it to reconnect an all is well, but a bit later it thinks its roaming again! Can still use data, calls and SMS and they do not show up as roaming on my account!
No problem with my Sainsbury's SIM. This is my second Virgin SIM (the first got confused when it received my old number). Both have exhibited the same weirdness.

Some carriers use internal roaming to lower the costs, its kind of weird. But how it is. The roaming problem your talking about has probably nothing to do with the phone, but more your SIM / carrier / provider.
bugee kitkat
yesterday i upgraded my dg 550 to official kitkat and i discovered some serious bugs. First my dagger makes reboot when i plug it in for charging!! Second the charging is making too much, i plug it in 4 pm with 18% and 7 pm is 70% which is too long.
In the previous 4.2.9 the dagger was 100% in less than 2 hours!
This is for me a reason to get back to 4.2.9
Now the thing that i like is ,changing the ebr files , having 7 gb space for apps. So if i downgrade could i change also the ebr files in 4.2.9 , or it want be possible?
I also received this nice phone and I am very satisfied with it. It come with 4.4.2 android_4.4_2014/09/25, but it is not rooted. I try several diferent ways to rootit but no succes. Framaroot, RootGenius, Towelroot, Baiduroot, but nothing works. Is there any way to root it without changing original rom? I also want to install TWRP or CWM for latter work with flashing roms and to make backup . Any help, please!

I like the phone's characteristics but I'm concerned about the battery life. Only 2250mAh for eight cores is a bit weak. What do you think?
Do you expect the phone to have any support for the upgrade to Android L or to any other alternative upgrade?
I just purchased this phone.
I think for 102Eur is a great phone. If it have some problems, it isn't the only one. All chinneses phones have problems everywhere. The thing is if it compensates what you paid for it.
I also ordered it. I'm still waiting for it but I hope I won't be dissapointed. I hope that it will have some support (new ROMs, firmware updates etc.), since there has been a lot of interest in preorder period.

I think the official launch is on 9th Oct. We will wait at least two weeks more to put our hands in it.
Elephone p2000 at least seems that has good support and Elephone releases new roms when is needed. Also, every Elephone has been rooted easily, so that's good. Take also into consideration that we're with Android 4.4.2 .. other phones are still with 4.2 or 4.0, so we're updated for a few years with this version.
I think we take a good decision, and believe me, I search the whole internet and this is the best phone I found for this price. :good:
We just have to keep this topic alive, so that we can discuss about the phone once we get it. I already own a chinese phone with MTK6577 and 512MB RAM, Android 4.0 and I've been very satisfied with it. So obviously Elephone g6 should be a big improvement for me. I also like to do some improvements to the phone when possible, that's why I'm hoping for good support.
As far as the price-quality is concerned, I'm sure there is no better phone on the market at the moment. Only the battery still worries me...
Hopefully we'll get it ASAP.

I own a Sony Xperia Neo (1Ghz, 512mb ram, 384mb of memory to apps, 3.7'' and Android 4.0 ... slow as hell!) so this G6 should be a big improvement to me too! the only thing that my Xperia will be better is the camera and flash, so, we will see
The phone should be shipped in 9th, so -2 days!

I would just wait, all the new Chinese models will be a little delayed because of the Chinese national holidays. Not only from Elephone but also from all the other Chinese brands. And I think it is good that they tell the truth, and actually do the tests properly before they ship the phones out to all the end customers. So we don't will be having problems in the end.
I agree, just wait for one more week. If you waited that long, one week isn't that much
I look forward to getting a good product, hopefully well tested and with some suport and updates available in the future.

I want to wait, but I can't!
We hope that the product is at least good, with good support and few updates.
Still no one received the phone?
Myefox delayed shipments without explain nothing... Look for some hands on until place my order!!
Wonder if anyone has received this phone yet I am looking for a budget smartphone to replace my nightmare Samsung Galaxy ace which is getting near the end of its contract.
My situation is I done a google search for a Blackview Crown review- 5inch Octa core Android 4.4 Smartphone 2GB Ram 16GB Rom and found the following thread on this site -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/blackview-crown-review-5inch-octa-core-t2844265
Someone on there said he thought this phone would be better and a few other agreed, however I cant really find much first hand feedback on this phone.
I know nothing about rooting phones I am a basic user who just wants a reasonable smart phone but my existing phone does have a huge amount of bloatware that i dont use so would not like that on a new phone.
Just wanted to keep this thread alive as this phones looks perfect I am in the UK where the cost of this is just over £92 or $150 and using the Three network on the 800MHZ band so was hoping people could give it the thumbs up.
Thanks
Ian
I expect to get the phone on monday. I will be able to tell some more then... Finally!

waiting for your review. specially please post some camera samples. Im worried about the camera performance. thank you very much.
I received the phone. So far it looks good. Touchscreen is very responsive, no other preinstalled apps. OS really is Android 4.4.2 KitKat as stated. It has also already come rooted as SuperSU. Antutu Benchmark score is 29004.

Hi. Can you add some more photos? I'm quite interested in buying this phone to my wife, but I'm afraid about camera quality, and battery life. So can you say something about it? And generally your opinion about whole phone.
Thank you in advance.

Im about to order a one too. camera certainly looks pretty good. and your input is highly appreciated and valuble. thank you for that first. and also do all of us some more favor, please include your comment on following points,
1. some more camera pics in low light and normal indoor conditions.
2. mobile signal strength, wifi strength compared to your other mobile.
3. and another most importantly, music quality through a good headset and normal speaker strength for ringing.
4. I found some chinese devices have very low earpiece volume. how's it on the g6?
5. And of course how about the battery time.

next week it will arrive, as soon as possible, review and hands on video!
Anyone interested in custom recovery creation, can have my support for testing purpose.
The first impact was not bad. Probably the performance are not the top with kitkat 4.4.4, battery seems ti be poor in terms of screen on time and capacity. Good news is that on the elephone forum is available original firmware, new custom rom flyme 4.2 and philz touch recovery.
Here's the link of philz Touch recovery

Anyone received the phone?
Yes, I'll post a review soonish .
My unboxing and hands on:
https://youtu.be/jS_Ex9c7tiY
Thanks for the reviews. I have seen on the Elephone P3000s 3GB page (http://www.elephone.hk/P3000S-6752.html) that there is no NFC included in first batch ( NFC: Support (The second batch os P3000s will pack NFC) / NFC:support（100,000 pieces of P3000s were sent out in April don't support NFC.）) . How the NFC supporting devices can be identified? Is it only a SW/driver issue or hardware topic? Thx and br
Nfc is an hardware topic, near micro sd slot on the rear, you must have two pins that connects to the rear cover with nfc antenna on it.
I have one of those non-NFC phones (don't care too much about NFC, and asked elephone.cc to send me one from the first batch to get it quicker).
My impressions after using it for almost two weeks:
Speed, smoothness is good, probably thanks to the CPU, GPU and 3GB Ram.
The main SIM card slot was too tight from the factory to insert a full size SIM card with perforated edges (so that I can pop out a micro sim size SIM) so the SIM card broke when I tried to force it into the slot.
I then got a new SIM card (thankfully I share offices with my mobile network provider...) and I first used a small tweezer to bend open the SIM card slot a bit while gently pushing in the SIM card.
That worked.
I'm not very impressed with the battery life, but maybe I'm asking for too much?
Today it's been running 10,5 hours on battery with normal use, it's now down to 6% battery level.
Maybe that's ok, I don't know.
The biggest problem is that I feel the wifi/bluetooth radio is unstable.
I got myself the new, very nice LG Urbane smartwatch 5 days ago, but it looses contact with the phone all the time so I don't get any notifications from the phone, and can't interact like placing calls etc.
I often also notice that even though the wifi icon in the top bar implies that it has almost a full wifi signal, the wifi connection is actually lost, and I have experienced several times that I'm not able to disconnect/reconnect but have to reboot the phone in order to get everything working again.
It would be good to hear from other owners, if they experience any of this or if I should first try a factory reset (I did that as soon as I received it though, as I always do when I buy a new phone/tablet), or an alternative ROM, before I start the possibly dreaded process of trying to get elephone.cc to send me a replacement.

I agree with your post grenness
I've had mine since it came out and purchased it from Gearbest, to replace my HTC One M7 that I couldn't relash properly.
I've only been usiing mine on Wifi with WhatsApp and gaming for the first few few weeks to get used to it.
The Wifi is weak, It cuts out quite a bit... which is real annoying when I use phone with Wifi at home.
I couldn't ge the SIM 1 Card to fit either so I just put it in the MicroSIM slot.
As for the battery I probably have too many Apps that use a lot of processing power, But I need to run it completely flat to see how long it will last.
Another thing I found is that if you do want NFC there is backcover available on Aliexpress(probably wrong spelling) that allows you to enable it. which I might get when I purchase a Glass Screen protector and Case.
Thought Id share my impressions on this phone.
First of all, I know Elephone.cc is not Elephone's oficial store as they pretend but do not order from them, seriously dont. They dont respond to support emails, Took them a week to send the phone and they sent just the phone, without the extra batery, glass screen protector and leather case, so thats $30 thrown away because they are reluctant to offer the refund for the parts they didnt send.
About the phone:
Smooth indeed, it moves nice, very nice, is fast but that is a given with the specs.
GSM reception is the worst, very very very bad, I get no signal at all in places I used to get full signal with my previous phone (a Lenovo S939)
The battery - Oh the battery, omg, I think that if I could put 2 2A batteries in it would last longer, very bad battery life, doesnt last 12 hours with mobile data one and very little use, If I use it like I used my previous phone (extremly moderate) I need to charge it every 5-6h, which is very inconvenient because Im not allways near a power source.
The fingerprint thingy, while it does work in just the right angle is useless, you have to slide my finger 10 times to scan once, I didnt even manage to set a fingerprint because it must scan it like 7 times.
The autorotate is crazy, allways goes to landscape even if you just tilt the phone a bit, and then you must turn it 4-5 times to go back to portrait, so you have to disable it otherwise you cant use the phone.
The phone is not usable while charging because the touchscreen goes nuts.
The camera ) .My very old Nokia n73 takes way better pictures that this, even my previous phone which has a lower res camera is waay better than this one (also Congrats on the false advertising for the camera - not sony and not 13mpx).
I dont think I just got a bad phone from factory, because I saw more people having issues like mine. And this is their top model at this moment with the p7000 not relesead yet.
I very much regret for purhasing this gadget (not phone cause it cant be used as one) so do yourself a favor and dont purchase any Elephone, I doubt they have any good models.
Don't agree, my sample had not the issues you wrote. Only battery is poor, but in this case i think that software support is not good, so it needs updates..
I thought Elephone would have had Lollipop available by now.
Is there anyway to boost the Wifi on the phone?
good morning, there are some news on a custom rom with lollipop?
hi all. i have just received an OTA update to my p3000s 3gb x64bit phone. when i got the phone, it was already rooted. since the update it is no longer rooted. could someone please point me to the info, if any, on how to get root back?
Many TIA

You can try Root Genius or King Root. Greetings
---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------
Kingroot works. I've just try it.
hi. tnx for the reply and info.
glad you got Kingo to work. unfortunately, it wont for me. i had tried that along with iroot and root genius. i cant get anything to work. i only found out when quickboot failed and i then checked with root checker. i wonder why i cant get the phone to root again?
did you check with root checker to make sure, because kingoroot and iroot both told me i had root but root checker said i hadn't. assuming root checker is correct, i cant get root back and i cant use quickboot, which basically verifies no root achieved
Crap, I also had the OTA update earlier today and went ahead and installed it.
Bye, bye, root.
Oh well, anyone notice any improvements to the phone after the update?
On the crappy camera, take a look at this photo taken outside in partly overcast weather (which is supposed to be good for photographing), notice how the green colors are completely useless in the right part of the picture? And how unclear everything is?
I'm telling you, this camera sucks...
edit: sorry, image should now be visible
just had this mail from SuperElephone:
The new version of OTA has root function. That means if you update OTA, your phone will be rooted automatically.
unfortunately, that is not the case, as i found out and have mailed them back informing of the error. not sure what response, if any, i'll get from them now.
I read somewhere that you just have to install and update SuperSU after OTA and will be fine...I DO NOT KNOW THAT. I JUST READ ABOUT IT.
But..I would like to know about other issues on this phone...WiFi, data, battery etc.

The Ulefone Paris comes with a metal, thin and light design that is very similar to Apple's iPhone 6 / iPhone 6S design language.
The screen measures 5 inches and comes with a fitting 1280*720 resolution. The specs and resolution might not be top notch, but it is ideal for such a small screen and the viewing experience will not be impacted. This model is very good value for money!

Ulefone's next 5-inch device will be called “Paris”
Days ago Ulefone asked their users on Facebook to help name their next 5-inch device between Ulefone Lite and Air. But a banner appeared yesterday on their official site showing that there will come a new phone named Ulefone Paris. The company confirmed that the two actions referred to the same device.
It’s not clear why the naming should change all in a sudden. But it seems to us that the company wants to add the phone some flavor of art derived from the New Wave. The banner reveals the launch time will be next month and the place, well, I don’t think will really be under the Eiffel tower.
According to early news, the specs of Ulefone Paris will include 5-inch HD display, and MTK6753 chipset. But it’s not sure if there will be change on these features, too.
Totally, the next 1 month or so, it is expected to see 3 new products from Ulefone, including the 6200mAh-battery device Ulefone Power and the Smartwatch Ulefone Uwear, beside the Ulefone Paris as before mentioned.
(Source from Ulefone.com)
------------------------------------------------------------
Ulefone Paris Design Revealed: A hybrid of iPhone 6 and Meizu MX4
I got some real photos of the Ulefone Paris, which shows that the 5-inch Ulefone device will borrow the design of both iPhone 6 and Meizu MX4.
Or you can say it is a mini Ulefone Be Touch 2 just with the iPhone-6-particular push home button changed into a touch button as also seen on the Meizu MX4 and M1 Note. The circular button will also have light as on the Meizu phones when it is touched. And there will actually be capacitive menu and back buttons with light, left and right to the home key but they are invisible when not used.
The Ulefone Paris also inherited the 2.5D glass and metal frame from Ulefone Be Touch and Be Touch 2. And the general design is not very different, just smaller, and maybe thinner.
Ulefone Paris , the name is interesting!
Ulefone believes the size of 5-inch best balances between the eyes, which favor a big display, and the hands, which favor small for comfortable handle. To spread their philosophy, the company even made a video where Ulefone Paris was placed at the balance point of a scale among bigger and smaller phones. Indeed, 5-inch phones will be easier to handle than 5.5 or bigger ones and still represent a big market where users weigh one-hand operability over visual joy.
I prefer 5". Almost all Chinese manufacturers continually release the 5.5" ones. Apparently Ulefone find another way out.
What's more, the 129.99 USD price is reasonable.
I prefer 5" phones as well as my hands are small
Post #1 Updated with a real FULL REVIEW with english comments of the Ulefone Paris
@s7yler I suggest providing Ulefone with your opinions on how to optimise and refine the Paris's software here: http://blog.ulefone.com/giveaway-share-your-ideas-to-make-ulefone-paris-perfect/
Nice! I am really looking forward to it.
Battery is good
I've been worried about battery life since it's only 2250mAh, but it is not a problem in real world. The test by the S7yler shows that Ulefone has been used a better battery. But 50mAh does not explain the issue. I think Paris is well optmized in energe enfficiency.
Any idea when TWRP or any similar custom recovery would be available for this phone? I hope devs show this phone some love :fingers-crossed:
Olefin paris
It is a good average phone
Not the top market one but it still makes its job and is very nice.
I made a back cover look alike carbon fibre using a spare vinyl I had at home
Can someone kindly tell me how to get , without problems..root permission on the "Ulephone Paris"..?
Thanks
Display problem
Thanks for the review. Paris arrived a week ago, single white spot on bottom left of display. Anybody else? Difficulties with wifi (needs to be reconnected despite full connectivity). Otherwise phone is nice.

I have bought this smartphone and I'm very satisfied!!
About the root and recovery, in italian forum we are trying in every mode, but the lonely solution can come from a recovery modded, because with the stock recovery we can't install anything.
Now, we have found a solution on russian forum 4PDA. They have posted a modded recovery and said that it work. Is TWRP Recovery 2.8.7.0 usb-otg. Unfortunately I can't download it because I'm not registered, and I don't know how to do.
If someone want try, I can give you the link of the discussion, here for you.
Finally we are at the end of the search of root for this fantastic phone, before to pass to on how to get the root, I wanted to thank Bovirus for its continuous interest despite not having our phone, nerik73 that has found the discussion in Russia and sent me the files for test and especially me, although I lost count of how many times I sent in brick the phone, I never gave up. But let us.
As we know, at present it does not seem to exist programs (for PC, or apk format) that allow you to make the root directly, and so the only solution is to flash it through recovery, which obviously has to be modded.
Short introduction, before venturing into the process, try to be clear that can go wrong and you end up with your phone bricked, but that the solution exists and is called SP Flash Tool. Get familiar with this program, download the official firmware Stock (you can find it HERE ). In case everything goes wrong, you can just flash the firmware original and start again. I remind you that a modded recovery, will preclude the way for future new official update. Before update it, and make your calculations.
To begin then, download SP Flash Tool which in its latest version for Windows, you will find HERE (thanks Bovirus). Unpack and get ready to use it.
As I said the first thing to do is install the modding recovery (TWRP) you can found it HERE. Unpack this file and put it in a folder where inside there will be the scatter file and the file "recovery.img".
Now begins the real work of installation.
Open the program SP Flash Tool and first go the top right and click where it says "scatter-LOADING", and select the file scatter you find inside the folder you just created. At this point, will load several files, you must go on the left and from the drop-down menu select "FIRMWARE UPGRADE". Be careful not to mistake this step because sometimes you could change by yourself and then the risk of overwriting your IMEI.
Go down below and make sure that one of the selected files, there is only "RECOVERY". At this point you are ready to flash.
Before you press the button "DOWNLOAD" in the top, remember that your smartphone must be off. For safety, remove the battery and let the taken for ten seconds and then put it back, BUT NOT TURN ON THE PHONE, and not connect it to your PC.
At this point you can press up on DOWNLOAD, and only after, the phone must be connected to the PC.
The procedure lasts a few seconds and a message will appear at the center of the screen. At this point you can remove the phone from your PC and reboot into recovery to see if everything went well.
The image of the new touch recovery, is this:
At this point you have the modded recovery. I want to clarify that I do not know why, this procedure had work for me after the second flash, and tje first time I found myself again with the original recovery.
If this happens to you, you redo the procedure again.
Now we have to install our SuperSU and Busybox through recovery .... this is the real root procedure.
We download the file from HERE (SuperSU) and HERE (BusyBox) and let's put it as it is, in our MicroSD card the phone.
Reboot the phone into recovery and press INSTALL (remember that the recovery is touch), it will open this window:
Find your SuperSU file, select it and swipe down to confirmed the operation. Find also your Busybox file, and do the same thing. Then, always with the swipe, at the end of everything, restart the terminal.
CONGRATULATIONS ... YOU HAVE ROOTED YOUR ULEFONE PARIS !!!
@cuvetto
As I explained in Italian forum, please take care that when you just update sa single module the right mode for Flashtool is "DOWNLOAD ONLY" and not FIRMWARE UPGRADE.
It's works in your situation just because with the scatter this is only one file (recovery.,img) but if you made this selection with full ROM it select ALL MODULES and you refalsh ALL ROM (included data).
For this it's better to seelct DOWNLOAD ONLY and not FIRNWARE UPGRADE.

Thanks that's worked fine.
Notice, the xposed module (xposed-v75-sdk22-arm64.zip) does not working on this device for me. It causing boot loop. So we need to wait until someone find a solution.
When I try to flash the recovery, when I plug the phone, it just starts charging and the screen turns on with the battery. Does it has to be fully charged? Oh and btw what drivers do I need for the phone?
---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------
Oh and in your picture with SP Flash I see there is writing under the phone img. I dont get that.
Nvm... I just had to install VCOM drivers. Sucsesfully rooted

What's in the box
Smartphone,silicone case , a screen protector, battery charger, USB cable, a pin for the SIM tray, and a Quick Start Guide in English.
Design and build
THL has definitely made a good looking smartphone with classic rectangular appearance and curved edges.
The body features a well crafted magnesium alloy frame and a hard plastic back.
When the device is off its front looks like being bezelless, but that's not the case. Indeed, the bezels are extremely thin, with the top edge of frame protruding slightly above the surface of the display in order to protect it.
Yes, this is a necessary design step for screen protection as with the THL T7, you don't get the 2.5D curved glass edges that seem to be on every Chinese smartphone lately.
In addition, the display has a top protective layer, which does not reach completely the frame.
The distance between the two is very little - fingernail-like, but it is there.
Otherwise, the device looks solidly built. Neither the back, nor the display flex under pressure. All parts fit perfectly to one another. The back cover is non-removable.
The smartphone is reasonably thin, with a waistline of 9.1 mm, and not heavy at all - 202 grams with the battery.
Because of its relatively large size it actually looks thinner than it is. The device is 150.5 mm high and 77.5 mm wide.
It is comfortable enough for one-handed operation, but people with smaller hands still might find it big to use with one hand.
The model is available in two colors: black and white with a silver back. We are reviewing the white variant.
Controls
The first thing you'd notice about the THL T7 controls layout is that the volume rocker and the power button are placed on the left hand side.
We do find this very convenient, but it's a matter of personal preference and subjective feeling, so we're just paying attention to this fact in case you prefer the classic layout with both on the right hand side.
In this model on the right is the hybrid dual-SIM card tray. It may be used with one or two micro-SIM cards or with a micro-SIM and a microSD card.
On the top side of the device is placed the 3.5 mm jack and at the bottom - the micro USB port and the mic.
On the front above the display there are the LED notification light, the earpiece, the light sensor, and the selfie camera. The LED notification light works only when the battery is charging and has a red color.
The home, back, and menu buttons of the navigation menu are on-screen.
Again, once you get used to it, this turns out to be quite a convenient feature. On the back of the device from top to bottom are the rear camera, LED flash, fingerprint sensor, the THL logo and the speaker grill with a single speaker inside.

I just broke the screen on my THL 5000 and saw this phone at the THL.com store. I actually considered this phone for a moment, but the specs are just too much of a step back from the 5K, and I need the dual SIM functionality, not just 2SIM or 1SIM/1SD setup.
I ordered a screen for the 5K.
And there is the big issue of Lollipop and the SD card not mounting apps.......
No lead on a ROM update to Marshmallow for the phone, which would be best, or a rollback to KK as an option.
I have filled the 64GB SD card on my my phone, mainly music, some video's, not many, 32GB for the T7 is just too small to cram all my stuff in.
MM does not have the SD card issue, it just optionally mounts differently than LP.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow ... "When a user inserts a microSD card into the right slot for the first time, the system will ask if they want to use it as a portable storage or internal storage.
Users who choose portable storage will be able to use their microSD card as expected. They can save photos, videos, music, files and some apps and app data on the card. If they would like to take it out of their phone and connect it to another device, such as their laptop, they will still be able to micro-manage their files.
However, choosing internal storage will bake the microSD card straight into the system. Android Marshmallow will reformat and encrypt the card, which means users will first have to back up their saved files before going this route. Once the card is reformatted, all previously saved files are erased and the card becomes the phone's internal storage option and nothing else.
Users who want to insert their card into a computer will not be able to do so because it has been merged into the phone's internal storage. Under the Storage & USB section, the microSD card will disappear, as it has now become the primary internal storage of the phone. Users will still be able to save apps and app data and view how much storage is left on the built-in storage, but not photos, videos, music and files. That means, if a phone has 8 GB of internal storage and the microSD card is 32 GB, users only have 32 GB of space for their files, not 40 GB.
Also, built-in eMMC storage is almost always faster than microSD cards, which means users who have at least 32 GB of internal storage may not want to trade in speed for more space, especially if they don't use up all the space on their phones anyway. Still, even with all the caveats, the option to turn an external card into internal storage is definitely beneficial for people who have low storage phones."

The only thing holding me back from purchasing this is the OS. It needs to be updated to Android Marshmallow 6.0+

SD card capability
Spec's list up to 32GB for the SD Card on the THL home site, have you tried a 64GB SD Card?
Please report back as to the phones ability to read a 64GB SD Card.
There is an update issued by THL: http://en.thl.com.cn/SupportDetails.aspx?id=485 What dos this do with the OS?
As I posted above, the Lollipop OS is holding me back from a purchase, if they update to Marshmallow, then I will pull the plug and do a purchase.
I have 107 apps installed over the OS apps, and most are on the SD card in my phone (Kitkat 4.4.2) and need the larger partition or the ability to write apps to the SD.
TY.

tell me how fix THL IMEI number
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Let me give you some help bro, there is a rapid and special method to fix the IMEI number:
Run the App "Phone", on the dialing keypad,
type 【*#IMEI#6666#】 for writing the first IMEI,
type 【*#IMEI#7777#】 for writing the second IMEI.
For example, type *#123451234512345#6666# for writing "123451234512345" to be used as the first IMEI.
Note that the new IMEIs will take effect after rebooting the phone and it will be lost after doing “Factory data reset”.
R00T?
Anyone manage to R00T the THL T7?
TWRP recovery, someone try this as well?
Report back please....

Do you actually expect him to purchase the other phones to provide you with the comparison?

Its possible that the TWRP 3.0.2-0 might work, its pretty much universal for MTK. I guess I will find out when my phone arrives.

No, I'm not expect him to purchase the other phones to provide me for a comparison.
But, if you take a look more on his youtube video channel ,
You'll understand ,why I ask him like that.

He is not responding to posts and requests.
Probably bought it to do a review and returned the phone for a refund....?
