Can't flash TWRP: Preloader invalid

First: Thanks for this thread and the collection of information for this smartphone. I have been peeking in xda whenever i needed advice for smartphone releated topics. Wish my first post wouldn't be about me having issues, but guess my lucky streak ended today.
So i tried to follow the steps from the presentation provided in the thread start to install TWRP via. SP Flash on my Doogee Mix 6/64, but the Flash was not successful.

The error message was:
Code:
STATUS_PRELOADER_INVALID (0xC0030004)
The Preloader file format is invalid!
[HINT]:
Please retry another official load.
This error happened for me both on SP Flash 5.1728, but also the newest version 5.1916.
I tried around the whole day now, up to a point where i tried to flash it via. Fastboot and opened bootloader... This did not go unnoticed by the smartphone which bootlooped with "Orange State" ( & "Red State" when booting recovery) once finished.
I solved this issue right now by formatting the smartphone and flashing the whole stock rom on it, as well of applying the NVRAM backup via. SP Flash, excluding driver issues as possible reason for this error (i think..).

At the end i got away with a scare, but i not moved any closer to the goal of flashing TWRP on it or rooting the smartphone. I wonder if someone encountered the error so far or knows what could fix that issue as searching up the error code wasn't a solution for me either.

Hello there
In this thread i have posted a method how to root Doogge Mix 6/64GB

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

This is the method i have used to root my doogee mix 6/64GB
Hope that works on you...
I have more then 1 year with root.

1. Unlock bootloader using ADB Fastboot.
You can find it at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
2. Install TWRP using ADB Fastboot.

Look at this tutorial her: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/

TWRP: https://mega.nz/#F!FVsH2JLR!bKDbF3Wz3Jsyk8_A4R_m4g

3. Boot phone in recovery mode, TWRP it will ask for password decryption but just select language and press back button. Just do Factory Reset and install Magisk and Reboot.
Magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

You need a SD Card to put Magisk zip.
Hope that it helps a little. I don't have a pc to make you video tutorial.[/QUOTE]

Hello Ersid, thanks for the quick answer.

While you wrote down this part i took the time to search for posts created by you in this thread and found exact the same procedure.
I followed the steps up to the point where TWRP got flashed with "OKAY" (according to fastboot). However booting from the recovery afterwards returns me into the "Orange State" Bootloop. I applied it on an untouched stock rom.

Orange State is for the unlocked bootloader.
And the bootloop you need the lastest magisk. After installing TWRP you need to do factory reset and then install magisk. You need to see that your memory doesn't show 0MB. And you need SD Card to install magisk

Magisk is already placed on the SD Card. The entire chain breaks as i can't access TWRP after flashing it. The smartphone didn't react to "fastboot reboot recovery" or "fastboot boot recovery.img" once i flashed TWRP, so the only option was to "fastboot reboot" which leads me right into the bootloop. From there i can't get to the recovery anymore. The smartphone ignores the keykombo "Volume Up + Power" in both Orange and Red State. Adb not works as i can't startup the system.

Hmmm...
Write me the steps that you took from the beginning.
Like this
1. USB debugging
2.Download ADB & Doogee usb drivers
3.Download the TWRP for Doogee Mix and rename it to recover.img
4. In the folder that you have put TWRP press shift and right click mouse i think. Don't remember well open command prompt.
Just like this.
For ADB steps i think that i put an thread.
And if you can make a video of the stapes that you make on Doogee mix and send it to me

Creating a video from both the smartphone and the PC would be a bit problematic at this point (no external camera device that i could use). But i will go ahead and write down my steps in detail:

1. Turned off the smartphone
2. Opened any SP Flash Version, like 5.1728 or 5.1916
3. DA is "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin"
4. Selected Scatter File from Stockrom
5. "Format + Download All" (to get the smartphone out of the loop, there is no personal data on it right now)
6. Pressed "Download (Ctrl+D)"
7. Connected the turned off smartphone to the computer
8. Download OK (1 Minute 39 Seconds)

The smartphone can now start up again.
1. Skipping the setup
2. Heading to the Build number to unlock development mode
3. Enables the options "OEM unlock" and "USB-Debugging"
4. Opening Command Prompt in the folder of ADB & Fastboot
5. Connecting the smartphone to the computer
6. "adb devices"
7. Verifying the connection on the smartphone itself
8. "adb reboot bootloader"
9. Smartphone accesses Fastboot Mode
10. "fastboot devices"
11. Smartphone is detected by fastboot
12. "fastboot oem unlock"
13. Presses "Volume Up" on the smartphone to confirm unlock
14. "fastboot flash recovery <location of TWRP recovery.img file>"
15. sending: OKAY writing: OKAY

Now the stuff get's interesting:
- "fastboot reboot recovery" not works (unknown target recovery)
The only known ways to get to the recovery now:
  1. restart the smartphone and open recovery via. adb
  2. restart with "Volume Up + Power" hold and select "recovery mode"
  3. "fastboot boot <location of TWRP recovery.img file>"

However: The phone is at this point already in the boot loop. Once the "Orange State" is the first time displayed, the keykombo "Volume Up + Power" no longer works.
Before that you can once access the menu and select the "recovery mode", but the recovery leads after a few seconds of blackscreen back to the boot loop.
Similar effect happens when the recovery is manually loaded via. fastboot.

I could ofc. point to TWRP and say that's the fault of the recovery, but it worked for everyone else here as well so the mistake is probably on my side.

For me worked fine with the first time in adb.
My phone still show "orange state" Because of oem unlocked.
I did all the steps of adb and worked fine
And the command "fastboot reboot recovery" worked fine for me.
After it boots at recovery it shows 0MB just make factory reset and install magisk and that's it.
