Hello everyone
We (some guys over at were trying to get the DG700 rooted and custom recovery and well.. turns out the russians at [another forum] had already done this!
This will work with both known versions of the DG700 - the one with the crocodile backplate as well the one with the smooth backplate!
So, I want to show you the translated instructions of how to get a rooted DG700 Android 5.0 Lollipop based on the R21 build - with better partition size and also TWRP custom recovery.
If you want a simpler method with the same outcome,
But the important things first:
The custom R21 build and the images used below were made by [another forum] for his instruction for this customized R21 made by him.
The custom TWRP recovery belongs to TEAMWIN and !
The TWRP port for DG700 credits go to [another forum]
[b]All credits go to these guys, I just merely used their work for this instruction.
And again, tvladan from XDA made one flash to rule them all:
You might want to use his great work instead of following my tutorial below as he made this much easier for everyone!
