Hi bro I have almost done everything but when I am connecting my mobile to pc they was showing me usb not recognized and automatically disconnected my mobile can u tell me any solution
Start the download process, it will show “Waiting for device”. Connect the device at that time, it will start flashing. Once the process starts, the device won’t eject.
I have Xperia M5 E5663, I tried to flash a generic ftf with FlashTool 0.9.21.0 in flashmode, it asked to flash the FSC script, but i clicked no, but the flash still continues and finished it successfully anyway.
Afterwards, it asked to disconnect the usb, my phone turns off immediately and have no reaction to any power on modes (All of those fasboot, flashmode, & normal mode, even the hard reset methods), it only reacts with a RED led on the top, only turned on when i plug a usb cable into it.
What should i do? Should I just bring it to the Service centre?
nevermind… I bring my device to service center already.
I already successfully rooted my device in MM too

Hello.
I am from Brazil, i have a doogee X5 (8Gb) and need help.
I updated the rom to stock (it was with a custom), but now the phone no longer works, the backlight lights up, and the touch sound as well, but it has no image in android, recovery mode, or CWM.
I utilized the mt6580 flashtool, try a lot of diferents roms, try erase the bootloader, format, etc.
All roms has the same problem, only sound..
Can someone help me?
I guess there’s no official firmware available for the device.
I guess something near boot is corrupt.. Are you using the right scatter file?
Are you installinv the right rom? I have the same phone and there are 3 revisions of the device. The first is rare and not really supported but it is up in needrom.com . The second(what I have) is the most common, often called as Doogee x5 ddr2 The third is less common but is the newest. It is also called Doogee x5-b or Doogee x5 ddr3.
Oh and an other thing: is factory mode showing up? Opening it is like going to recovery but use volume down instead of up.
Glad if I could help you
