i actually tells that celkon a79,bludash 3.5 and spice mi 352 xtacy are looking like true clones with same chipsets.
but u r getting some problems with Celkon a79 system.img then use your original system.img with different rooting method along with bludash 3.5 cwm recovery here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40433602&postcount=122
Thank you
Hello Mate, I wanted to thank you for helping me root. This was a fun experience and the memory usage has drastically reduced after rooting it. I can clearly see the improvement in performance. Anyone will to try rooting for the first time and is not sure. I am vouching for this method. Just one little thing though. The cmd file in the root folder doesn't work. However that shouldn't stop you from using the rest. As every other driver and the image file is perfectly setup. Once again. Thanks a bunch dude.
P.S: Any chances of getting any new image file.

seems like spice mi 352 is a clone of celkon a79.. you can try it at your own risk. but i hope it will work 90%
I was trying to change my G3 resolution to 1080p ( someone will ask what is the benefit form G3 with 1080p and why i didnt buy a phone with 1080p > answer : i dont care about resolution its not noticeable the only thing thats really matter is the PPI so if its 2K or FHD i dont care iam still have 530+ pixel)
back to my Q
I am not rooted ( and i dont want to ) & using ADB SHELL to make the changes
using this commands :
adb shell wm size 1080x1920 ( Resolution )
adb shell wm density 400 (DPI)
now the problems as you know i have to restart to make everything adopt the new R & D
G3 stock apps stop working on anything less than 530 DPI so i am using G2 lollipop stock apps now. thats a problem solved
PROBLEM NUMBER 2 & THE WORST ONE
after rebooting the phone i can hear the phone booting sound & i can hear the voice when unlocking lock screen but i am stuck at LG boot screen
2 times after opening a GAME the screen works again i dont know why xD
what i did is to enter this command : adb shell wm size reset ( which reset the resolution to stock but i still have the low DPI )
after entering this command without rebooting the screen comes back and the logo gone
so i reentered this command : adb shell wm size 1080x1920 & now the screen works but the apps are not looking good ( need restart )
so i need some one to help me to avoid ( skip) LG logo ( boot screen ) which i did by like 2 times
Solution - Root so you can use xposed mods to fix dpi in specific apps

WARNING: *I* cannot be held responsible for anything *you* do to *your* phone!
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, 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.
Drivers
I recently setup a 5th gen Kindle Fire 7" tablet on my Windows 10 desktop. Because the BLU Life One X 2016 and the Kindle Fire are similar enough it just worked. To use the Amazon drivers you can find them on this page: https://developer.amazon.com/public...etting-up-your-kindle-fire-tablet-for-testing. The direct link is https://s3.amazonaws.com/android-sdk-manager/redist/kindle_fire_usb_driver.zip. Extract the zip file and then run KindleDrivers.exe.
Unlock Bootloader, Install Custom Recovery and Root, and Return to Stock
Note #1: All credit for this guide goes to rogersa2k's post for rooting the BLU Life One X 2016!!! You can check it out here. Most of the stuff was similar enough that I was able to follow it to root my BLOX2 with minor deviations which I've included here.
1) Unlock Bootloader
Power on the phone and skip through all of the setup options
Go to Settings -> About device
Activate "Developer options" by tapping the android version in the settings around 7 times.
Go into "Developer Options", 5th row down you with find the option OEM unlocking. Turn this feature on.
Enable OEM unlocking
Enable USB debugging
Power off your device
Hold down the power + volume up buttons at the same time until you see " boot in recovery" in white text in the upper left corner of the screen and release.
Use the volume key to navigate to Bootloader and select it with the power button.
Your phone will reboot and sit on the Blu bootup animation
Plug the phone in to your PC and authorize it
Open a Command Prompt
Type fastboot devices to verify that your PC sees it correctly
Type fastboot oem unlock
This should output something along the lines of "Your bootloader is already unlocked!"
If this is the case run "fastboot reboot" to return to android
2) Install Custom Recovery & Root
Note #1: We will flash a custom version of TWRP that was built by one of our members
Be sure to have your Bootloader unlocked before proceeding
Download this zip here with everything you will need:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6_iuhJQH7aGTWpSY2haaXl5aU0
Put the SuperSu.zip file on the sdcard
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
Your phone will reboot and sit on the Blu bootup animation
Type fastboot devices to verify that your PC sees it correctly
Type fastboot flash recovery BLOX2_TWRP_Recovery.img
Type fastboot boot BLOX2_TWRP_Recovery.img
Once booted I strongly urge you to make a nandroid backup
Select Install
Select the SuperSu.zip
Swipe to flash
Reboot when complete
Verify with a root checker or simply type "su" into terminal or an adb shell
Launch SuperSU and configure it as you like
Note: If your phone does not reboot then just hold the power button until it turns off. Hold the power button again until it turns back on.
To get back to stock:
Download this file here: (includes Stock Rom, Drivers and QFIL **Large DL**)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6_iuhJQH7aGU25OMWJNVGdMYkU
Should be set back to stock (unrooted) rom and recovery
Thanks for starting this thread. With the specs/price of this phone, I'm surprised there aren't more people all over this. Would love to have root access on this thing.

Yeah, the phone speaker is not good for listening to music. Most of the time I listen to music with DSub or Pandora over Bluetooth headphones and it sounds fine.
Anyone else having issues with bluetooth using most of their battery? I wasn't even connected to a BT device yesterday and it just dropped off a cliff.

Wow, do you have many BT devices paired to the phone? I have 5 or 6 and I'm wondering if the phone is constantly trying to re-connect to all of them throughout the day.

Weird. I had this many on my BLOX 2016 and did not have this issue. I'm going to disable Tasker tomorrow and see if it helps (I have profiles setup based on BT connections). It's not a huge issue and with Quick Charge, I can get juiced up pretty quickly, just thought it was strange that BT is using so much of my battery.
I'm dying for root. Any info on how to? If possible

It just said minor bug fixes and something about app icons, which I'm not worried about because I use Nova Launcher. I installed the update, no adverse effects so far. I'll post again in the next day or two if I see any noticeable issues.
Hi guys!
As I've read, and also experienced myself, one of the big issues these Android Rearview mirrors have is that they only come with either 512mb or 1gb or system storage.
That leaves you practically unable to install many applications (or any if you have the 512 version).
Thankfully, I've found this mirror that finally comes with a decent system storage of 16gb!
Check it out:
https://youtu.be/fW_PavSv91k
Specs:
Android 5.0
MediaTek 8382 Quad core @ 1.3 Ghz
1GB Ram
16GB System Storage
Mali 400 MP
SD up to 32GB
1280x480 6.86 Screen
1080p DVR

I have have the same rearview camera in the video but mine is Chinese version, is their a way to flash it to be the same in the video? with google play ? can someone help me flash a firmware or has the firmware to the American version thanks
I have this mirror as well. It's nice but.........
I also have this mirror. It works pretty much as advertised but, the data connection is garbage! Most of the time I get good signal strength but no service. When I do get service, the best speed that I've gotten is >0.20 Mbps!! I'm not sure if it's the firmware or hardware that's causing the problem. I've tried it all over So Cal and parts of Vegas with the same result. I'm thinking about opening it up to see if I can make improvements.
Model number = cm84
Build number = LRX21M dev-keys
Custom build version = ALPS.LO.MP2.V1.9_CM84_V1.7.6
android VERSION 5.0
Has anyone gotten a steady data (not wifi) connection with this device??
I'm having the same issue DaFlash. I tried setting up FreedomPop but never get any data. I am able to get 2G with my TMobile sim card but I need that for my phone. It would be great if someone had some advice on how to improve that. Thanks
Any update rom for this?

not quite sure what you are seeing but I do know how to get it to show rear continuously,
tap driving video, settings(bottom right), auto exit preview, set to never exit preview.
now when you set the driving video to rear it will stay like that.

Help on my cm84
I need help with my android rear mirror model cm84. Need to reset it to factory settings since got stuck at boot - Android Upgrading Optimizing 1app of 1. Reset button wont work.
@silvertears
You can do that from TWRP if you have that installed. Wipe Data partition.
Or if you have ADB connection still working with USB cable you can do it from shell:
adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR
Cheers

My CM84 is now dead ar black screen after firmware updated.
The flash tool showed succesfully updated however it never wake up again.
I flashed using this HD900 from 4pda.
Any advice on hiw to wake it up?
Thanks.
Did you use SP Flash tool?
Make sure you have the "Mediatek VCOM Preloader" port driver installed
The easiest way to reflash it is like this (general Mediatek method):
- unplug usb from your mirror
- start SP Flash tool
- load and select the image parts you want to flash (I only do boot and system)
- click the Donwload button
- plug in the usb cable from your PC into your mirror
Maybe you need to hold the switch on the mirror for 10+ seconds
Maybe you need to use a pin to press the reset button on the top/back of the mirror
SP Flash tool will recognize it and starts flashing
Had a lot of "bricked" devices in my life. Never a problem.
DON'T flash anything other than boot and system. Don't do LK and whatever you have. In 99,9% of the cases not necessary.

Quick question for you mate. Can the flap covering the type-C port be removed? I use magnetic charging cables and would be leaving a tip permanently plugged in to the port.
Ya you could rip it off , but why? you'd bypass the water proofing better to purchase a wireless charger
Doogee S98
I am writing the review just after receiving the Doogee S98 Classic Black 8GB RAM / 256GB ROM version.
It’s available in three colors: Red, Orange, and Black. Let’s start, what I got in the box?
Unboxing
The Doogee S98 comes with a lot of accessories. The box is containing the phone, User Manual, Warranty Certificate, USB Type-C to Type-C Cable, 11V/3A Rapid Charger, Anti-explosion film(pre-applied),screen protector and Card Slot Opener .
Design
Starting from the design, good use of rubber and aluminum to protect the phone from shock and drop. The device feels really solid, probably one of the advanced-rugged phones in the price category, and overall the build quality is decent. Being a rugged phone, it isn't possible to expect the most compact device. Due to the huge battery and body cover with multiple layers of rubber, I feel it cumbersome and bulky (Height: 172 mm, Width: 82 mm, Thickness: 15.5 mm and Weight (including battery): 320 g) although heavy it seems to be balanced in handling.
On the front side, Doogee adopts 6.3-inch FHD+ 1080 x 2340p resolution, the glass uses Corning Gorilla Glass Protection. The upper side of the device there are a Front-Facing Camera, Voice Receiver, Indicator Light, Ambient Light and Proximity Sensor hole.
As regards the lower front side, there isn't anything at all. At the bottom, there are Speaker, Type C Port, and Microphone.
The upper back side of the device features a big Circle Shape Rear Display. On the right side of the rear display 64MP Main Camera and 2 infrared night vision lights. On the Left side of the rear display 20MP Night vision Camera and 8MP Wide angle camera are located. Under the rear display there is a big LED flash light. On the lower back side of the phone, there isn't anything at all except a Doogee Logo.
On the right side of the phone, there are a Volume up and down buttons, Power button and Fingerprint sensor.
On the left side of the phone, there is SIM/TF Cards Tray and Custom Key function Button.
Custom Key
it is very useful for the quick launch of anything from the phone with a single click, double clicks, and long press. For example open camera, access to gallery, voice recorder, open any application etc
You can set three quick things from the phone.
One-click to open
double click to open
Long Press to open
No Audio Port on the Phone Interesting.
*FM: Insert the headphone adapter and the headphone supports external amplifier
Main Display
The Doogee S98 adopts 6.3-inch FHD+ 1080 x 2340p resolution, As regards the screen, it is just perfect. It’s Bright enough for a decent outdoor usage. I found it pretty good, with excellent color accuracy and an overall nice viewing experience.
Rear Display
There is a Unique Circle shape rear display, it is quick access to checking the time, picking and canceling incoming calls, playing and pausing music, and other notifications displayed on the display. There are pre installed themes for the watch, incoming call, and music.
Biometrics and passwords
The Doogee S98 features three types of biometrics. Screen lock , fingerprints, and face unlock.
I tried both fingerprints and face unlock and found it very accurate and fast, and face unlock worked even in dark as well.
Camera:
An outdoor phone needs to be a great camera. Thanks, Doogee for not adding the fake cameras Setup. It’s equipped with AI Triple Camera (64MP+20MP +8MP), the manufacturer of the main camera not mentioned. The Doogee Added Sony IMX350 20MP night vision camera and Samsung S5k4h7 8MP wide Angle camera. Autofocus works quickly, on-screen shutter button and custom physical button both work very quick. The pictures are usually sharp, the colors look natural and the contrasts are also great. Even in Low light and night vision camera deliver awesome result. It has a Samsung S5K3P9S5p 16MP Front camera for a selfie.
Very good in daylight / good light, but in low light, you need some light for great result.
From Main Camera you can capture up to 2K video and 1080P from Front camera.
Hardware
It’s powered by Helio G96 octa-core processor; it can run at the rate of 2.1GHz. With the support of the 8GB RAM, 256GB ROM, External Storage:T-Flash Card up to 512GB
and a ARM Mali-G57
GPU, the processor can perform every task smoothly. That’s mean you can watch 4K videos and play heavy games without any problem.
Geekbench Benchmark 1864 (Multi-Core)
Geekbench Benchmark 533 (Single Core)
test antutu benchmark ~335699
Doogee S98 is performing better than 78% Smartphone
Battery
As we know that, outdoor phone need to have a big battery with quick charger and it is a vital part of the rugged phone. Doogee S98 has 6000mAH battery with11V/3A charger. It supports 15W wireless Charging and 33W Type C Fast Charge. The Phone can standby for 430 hours or play games for 10 hours.
Software
Doogee chooses to use a pure Android OS for this device. It runs on Android 12.0 with Updated security patches and no bloat ware pre-installed. The OS feels smooth.
Outdoor Tools there are too many outdoor tools like a Compass, Gradienter, Flashlight, Hanging Paint, Height meter, magnifier, alarm bell, Plumb bob, Protractor, noise test, and pedometer.
Audio
Doogee added one stereo speaker system which provides pretty high and decent sound quality. It has No distortion at maximum volume as well. Overall there is no major problem in the audio section.
IP68 / IP69K / MIL-STD-810G certifications: it has a such certification that means it can survive in water, dust, and unexpected drop.
OTG: its supporting OTG function and it can charge your Android and IOS devices
Sensors: if we talking about the sensors than Doogee S98 comes with all important sensors like an Ambient Light Sensor, E-Compass, Geomagnetic Sensor, Gyroscope, Proximity Sensor.
NFC: Thankful to Doogee for adding NFC on the device.
GPS: Excellent GPS result, too many satellites with strong signals I got outdoor and indoor as well.

Have you been able to get the FM radio working? Says it needs headphones but there's no headphone socket. I don't have a type-C to 3.5mm to try it out.

I've rooted mine. There's no TWRP for any Doogee product, AFAIK.
I'll see about writing a quick&dirty guide to rooting the phone.
Quick&dirty guide to rooting the Doogee S98 with Magisk.
This will break OTA updates.
You'll need the following software installed on your PC:
ADB/Fastboot Drivers
You'll also need to have downloaded the latest Magisk apk (currently 25.1) onto your PC, or know how to get it installed on the phone later on.
Download the relevant ROM update for your phone via Doogee Mall
https://doogeemall.com/community/xenforum/search?q=S98
Unzip the ROM somewhere and locate boot.img from the zip file. We'll be patching this later.
Enable Developer Options mode on the phone. Settings|About Phone. Tap Build number at the bottom 5 times to enable Developer mode.
Settings|System|Developer Options
Enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging. Accept any warnings that come up.
Connect phone to PC via USB cable. Accept the prompt on the phone to allow debugging from the computer
Open command prompt on PC and navigate to where you have the adb.exe and fastboot.exe files located from the ADB Drivers package
At command prompt enter:
adb devices
You should see your phone listed there. If it says "Unauthorized," then you didn't accept the prompt to allow debugging from the computer. If there's nothing listed, then you didn't enable USB debugging.
The following steps will reset your phone back to factory settings. If there's anything you need to back up, do so before proceeding.
At CP:
adb reboot bootloader
Once phone boots to the bootloader (there will be a couple of lines of text at the bottom of the screen) enter at CP:
fastboot flashing unlock
Follow the relevant prompts on the phone to unlock the bootloader. Those with poor vision may want to use a magnifier as the writing is pretty small on the screen. The phone is factory reset with this process.
Command prompt:
fastboot reboot
As phone reboots, you'll see a message about device being unlocked and cannot be trusted on the initial Android boot screen.
Do your initial setup.
Get Magisk installed on the phone. Do this by USB file transfer from the apk you downloaded earlier, or by downloading direct on to the phone.
Copy the boot.img from the ROM zip file onto the device in a location you'll remember (Internal Storage/Download is probably the easiest)
Launch Magisk on the phone and select "Install"
Select "Select and patch a file" and then select the boot.img you copied to the device.
Magisk will create a new file called magidsk_patched_xxxx_xxx.img in the Download folder.
Transfer this img onto your PC. Probably easiest to put it in the same folder that adb.exe and fastboot.exe are located.
Enable Developer options/ADB again as they'll have been removed with the factory reset. Confirm with "adb devices"
At CP:
adb reboot bootloader
At CP:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_xxxx_xxx.img (use the file name of the patched image. pressing TAB to auto-complete is probablhy easiest here)
At CP:
fastboot reboot
Phone should be rooted at this point. Confirm by starting Magisk and checking what version is installed.

Tried this procedure on the latest available ROM (V3.02_20221209-1006) and it bricked my phone.
Fortunately I was able to restore it using Mediatek SP Flash tool
For the new(er) Firmwares you can follow Minotaur's procedure , but do NOT use the command
Code:
flashboot flash boot xxxx.img
, but you should use
Code:
flashboot flash boot_a xxx.img
(where xxx.img is the boot.img that was patched with Magisk)
Quick guide for those that ever come in the same situation of bricking this phone (or want to restore the phone to factory defaults/firmware):
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
-turn off the phone completely; either by holding the power button for 5+ seconds or from within the recovery
NB: Make sure the phone is not connected to USB or any other external power source, otherwise it will turn on automatically again
-Download and install the mediatek SP Flash Tool and Mediatek Driver auto installer :
Download SP Flash Tool for Windows and Linux (MediaTek Flash Tool)
Download SP Flash Tool (Smartphone Flash Tool) that allows you to flash or install Stock Firmware ROM (Flash File) on Mediatek Devices.
androidmtk.com
(I used flash tool v5.2216, which works for the S98 Pro)
-Download the required ROM :
OneDrive
onedrive.live.com
(do not download Doogee's flashtool version as it doesn't work)
-unzip the ROM/Firmware file you downloaded
-start the Mediatek flashtool and choose as download agent (preset) MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin
select the scatter file in the unzipped ROM folder..it is probably called MT6781_android_scatter.txt
(after selecting the scatter file, the main-window should be filled with img-files)
select in the dropdown box: "Firmware-upgrade"
click the "Download" (green arrow pointing down) button
Now connect the phone to your computer using USB.
The phone will turn on as soon as you connect the USB and the Flash tool should automatically start the ROM/Firmware installation process
Once finished the phone should restart and will be restored to factory defaults.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hope this helps.
I'm Loving the S98 Pro with Thermal camera so far.
Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the always on camera flash?
