First of all I just bought Global Moto G 2014 (XT1063) from US Amazon and that was KXH21.85-23 (not updatable to Lollipop via shared OTA.)
So I did manage to unlocked the bootloader and flashed KXH21.85-17 and tried to flash the "Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuglb.retuglb.en.US" which supposed to flash the Lollipop.
Unfortunately at first it failed to update me because "Printspooler.apk" mismatch the hash check. After attempt to flash (yes, I ignore the abort message and redo the process, It passed.... I don't know why) and stuck at some "xxx.apk" mismatch the hash again. After redo the process and bypass (for unknown reason that redo bypass the mismatch) I stuck at "velvet.apk" mismatch and this time It won't let me bypass and keep going on update to lollipop.
In my theory, Is it possible that I flash KXH21.85-17 from other country? Yes, any XT1063 (latin american, whereever on earth) supposed to flashable, but maybe the different country has slightly different apk. So that's why I failed the hash check.
Can anyone give me a URL or mirror to USA XT1063 for KXH21.85-17 that confirmed updatable to Lollipop? Since SBF-Dev and MotoFirmware is now down I couldn't find any.
I know what I'm saying is sound ridiculous, but I have no other theory that support my conspiracy anymore.
Hi @bankkung, I was facing similar problems. First you'd want to get back to stock kitkat which is up-gradable to Lollipop, so I would suggest downloading this file, http://180upload.com/bzl3ah1wov5g, which is 21.85-17, you can flash this file with fastboot by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/index-guide-update-to-lollipop-android-t2941340. Next you'd want to download both Lollipop files, the first and second one. (The second one is the newest update that fixes memory management). First file: https://mega.co.nz/#!UoQ02KLQ!22OUNBctGLoAUOMd_frTRT9jgbB3tRPUa4pPqfesGho.. Second file: https://mega.co.nz/#!s8ZSVJDA!SqUWPZODvM4-GYuXo6MC2JWTmpE9_jdyqlH-ycWi78I. Download both of those files and put them somewhere accessible (like your SD card) so you can flash these in stock recovery, so after you downgrade to kitkat you can flash the first one, then boot up and then go back into stock recovery and flash the second file. I'd recommend factory resetting your phone after this to smoothen everything out.
If all else fails you can flash TWRP recovery using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-0-1-moto-g-2014-t2896165, and then download this TWRP backup of the latest Lollipop, and place it in /data/media/0/TWRP/backups/(your device name here). All of that can be done right in TWRP recovery using the file manager (no need to root your phone). https://mega.co.nz/#!59AAiQaR!cPUsNpI5j-ZaIMX10uiS93EJqpLxua-iwKHj30InX1U
I would really recommend the first option tho, just in case any other updates come you can easily upgrade your phone.
Hope I helped!

I'm thinking about getting some Nandroid backup (never used TWRP before but I think this methond you gave is the same thing as I think) to get straight from Custom Recovery to Lollipop.
So what I need to do in the 2nd method is
a
flash TWRP
Place TWRP Backup of XT1063 Lollipop
restore
reflash Stock Recovery + Locked recovery
Is this sound corrected?

Yes once you place the backup on your SD card, flash TWRP, reboot into recovery and go to advanced then go to file manager, then finish following the instructions above. Once you place it in the right place then you restore it. As of the stock recovery issue, it wouldn't make much sense to do that unless you followed the first option, where the stock recovery would actually be needed. But if you find a recovery image then yeah. If you do the second method you won't be able to receive updates nor update it manually unless doing the first method.. But the TWRP backup is the latest lollipop so enjoy!
If you still need help you can just flash TWRP recovery, and download this and flash it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-stock-rom-t2970427/post57438355#post57438355
I flashed 5.0 ages ago since I live in NZ and I heard that I can get the official version now so I need to return to stock somehow so I can install the latest update, so does anyone have a stock rom or a method to return to stock and still be able to receive the updates
See any response by the forum member "reefuge" - his signature contains a stock ROM link.
For example, in my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/xt1068-ota-lollipop-update-failing-t3035150
try to flash the rom via fastboot, using the commands on 4.2 on this thread
You need a XML zip of the rom , to have the XML zip of yours rom search in here and download the file regards yours model and OS version that you wanna...
download is very slow, here a mirror but the mirror is incomplete.
download, unzip, to the some folder of mfastboot and give the commands a try, while the phone is conected via USB to the PC in the bootloader screen, you must have motorola driver update, to know if you have the drivers, just plug the phone on normal on mode, and see if you can copy and past files to the phone...
If you follow this procedure you will erase everything on the phone, so do a backup...
To receved a OTA update, you will need to have everything on stock so no root no custom recovery, the bootloader state don't matter. :fingers-crossed: :good:
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

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.

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?
From stock Blu vivo XL MM and tWRP2.87 for MM (https://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-xl/development/cm13-0-2-3-18-19-twrp-t3530909), I flashed one Android N ROM in this forum, it gave me bootloop, and could not enter recovery. It took me a lot of flashing work to make it up and running now. I'd like to summary what I did.
1, Using SP Flash tool, tried all recoveries I found, none of them let me enter it by pressing VOL+ & PWR buttons. Recoveried I've tried:
tWRP for MM / Philz Touch V2 [Marshmallow] / stock 5.1 recovery / tWRP for 5.1
2, Found SP-Flashable Gionee ROM from here: https://firmwarefile.com/gionee-s-plus
Download old version i.e. _T6006.zip which is Android 5.1. Don't use latest MM ROM since that won't work for our procedure.
Use SP Flash tool to flash it
Now Blu Vivo XL can boot to Android with Gionee logo, but as expected, no SIM detected since Gionee has different modem file.
3, Use SP Flash tool to flash tWRP for 5.1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-xl/development/recovery-t3311601
Make sure you can boot into this tWRP by pressing Vol+&PWR buttons
4, Download Blu Vivo XL stock 5.1 tWRP backup from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x4lgfv27jtgirkh/Blu_VivoXL_backup-2016-03-05.zip?dl=0
I use this one instead of popular one in this forum because, this backup has MODEM backup data.
5, Use tWRP to restore Blu Vivo stock ROM. Now you can boot to it.
6, Use SP Flash tool to flash Blu Vivo XL stoch 5.1 recovery
7, Boot again, do OTA 3 times to get latest stock ROM (build version V08)
8, Use SP flash tool to flash tWRP2.87 for MM :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-xl/development/cm13-0-2-3-18-19-twrp-t3530909
9, Enter tWRP for MM, flash suspersu zip file
10. Now you have stock latest ROM rooted.

You only need the on with more files. Unzip them, put all files into your phone folder(last part can be other string but no hurt to use it as is):
\TWRP\BACKUPS\BLU_VIVO_XL\2016-02-12--04-36-53_S_plus\

You should use 5.1 tWRP to restore from this. It has 2 zip folders, unzip them, use the one with more files. it has 11 files total.

Thanks! Your guide saved my phone from being a soft brick.
But this TWRP version seems very odd, it thinks my phone is a V2 Viper and this recovery is ugly and seems misbehaving. Is there maybe a newer version that will work with MM? (3.0.1 gave me a bootloop.)
So many thanks for all your effort with this post, you save my life and my aunt´s phone jajaja.

It is supposed to work. Never mind. Did you try other supersu.zip files? Coz sometimes these packages may also be corrupt.
In case if you are not successful try this tool called lenovo k3 note manager..

Just want to share whoever got problem flashing s433 on A7000-a, make sure download correct file on the thread and carefully read the instruction. If your platform are marshmallow, do flash boot image via twrp (flash image, not flash zip). My step from dead A7000-a to K50a40 :-
1. Use SP Flash (v5.1540.00.000) to flash K50a40_S422_160315_ROW( https://cloud.mail.ru/public/C9th/nvAqozUua )
2. Follow this step ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66229157&postcount=4187 )
When the procedure done/finish( OK GREEN TICK ). Turn on ypur device normally, put this file on SD Card ( https://cloud.mail.ru/public/CNTk/6..._ROW_TO_K50a40_S424_160328_ROW_WC655382B6.zip ) to update s422 to s424 or do it OTA.
Now you should get K50a440 s424 on your device.
Done all this step...... will have notification to update s424 to s427... then s427 to s433, all this i done through OTA( or you can search for update.zip and put in SD )
TO ROOTED s433
1. Follow this step ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-...3-note-k50-t3158522/post66156802#post66156802 ), make sure all necessary file are downloaded and place on SD Card( read carefully the step )
After you done all the procedure, check rooted using root checker apk ( google play free )
