Here is a method on how to root your Doogee Mix.
Magisk recently issued its stable update v14.0 in which you could patch any boot image and gain root on devices with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS and still have the support of OTA updates by the phone manufacturer.
Here is how to do it.
__________________________________________________________________________
First, UNLOCK BOOTLOADER (If yours is unlocked, skip to the next step)
1- Enable the Developer Option, Go to your Settings -> About -> Software Information -> More -> Now Tap on the Build Number 7-8 Times until you see a toast message “Developer option enabled"
2- Go back to settings -> Now you need to enable the OEM Unlock by going to Settings -> Developer Option and Enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging
3- Download and Extract the Downloaded ADB fastboot Zip file on your PC
4- Now connect your phone to Computer using USB Cable.
5- When you connect your Phone to Computer, please wait until all the drivers get installed
6- In your ADB fastboot folder open a command prompt window by pressing Shift Key + Right Mouse Click
7- Now type the command in your command window
adb devices
8- If you see a pop up to allow USB Debugging on your phone, Click OK
9- Now type the command below to reboot your phone to bootloader
adb reboot bootloader
10- Once your phone reboot into bootloader, make sure your phone shows the bootloader locked and then type the command below to make sure fastboot drivers are installed properly.
fastboot devices
11- This command will list the connected devices. If your phones serial number shows up you are good to go and may continue. If the phone is NOT listed this indicates that your drivers are not installed correctly. In order for you to continue you must fix your drivers so that your phone is listed under fastboot devices.
12- If the phone has been recognized by the command above, proceed to unlocking the bootloader with the following command:
Remember that this step will wipe EVERYTHING off the phone
fastboot oem unlock
13- After the above command has finished executing, run the following
fastboot reboot

Second, FLASH THE PATCHED KERNEL
Now, to flash the new patched boot image (Kernel), [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register], which contains the rooted kernel for both 4/64 and 6/64 models. Take the right "boot-verified.img" file for your device and place it inside the original ROM folder with the right scatter file. (you can download the official roms on Needrom)
Here is how to flash it:
1- Open SP Flash Tool ([Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]) and load scatter file from rom directory
2- Check only boot.img box and flash it
Last thing, install Magisk Manager from Play Store and check if you are rooted!
Good Luck!
P.S. Data partition is still encrypted, so you can NOT mount system R/W, just R/O till now. We must wait for proper TWRP for the device or have the kernel sources from DOOGEE. Apps like Titanium Backup, Kernel Adiutor, or System Tuner will not work, whereas apps like Greenify, Powernap, etc.. work well.
