I made it in Windows yesterday successfully. There is also a way to flash TWRP on Doogee X3 running Android 6.0.
Look here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=713470&st=100#entry51434308

The Problem is, I don't understand russian and I even can't type it. Also the Captcha is a major problem. I think there is an account needed to be able to download the board attachments. Otherwise "404" error. Could anyone Download TWRP for Android 6.0 from this site + the scatter file there ? Would be awesome :highfive:

EDIT: I got it and already installed it. it works ! twrp on doogee x3 running android 6.0. just flash it with sp flash tool. you know how if you had flashed 6.0 already
link: http://www18.zippyshare.com/v/yAM5FXOt/file.html

have fun

EDIT: don't try to root it. doesn't work. neither supersu, kingo root nor kingroot. i tried it and my nvram was corrupt after trying with supersu. had to flash back imei and wifi mac address. i'm back on android 5.1 for this device.

[at first for everyone to know: it affects Android 6.0 for the Doogee X3. Android 5.1 is no problem.]

root checker told me my device is rooted after I flashed your zip. The problem I experienced was, I got no asking for root triggered by any app which uses root permission. And also when I try to update SuperSU binary inside the app it tells me there is no "su data" and it couldn't update it. I think to get a flawless root permission it would take a while

SOLVED $mkdir working and than.... $ sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop /img-tools/sys.raw working/
so i did succeed to format the system.img to sys.raw but after trying to mount the sys.raw image i got the following response after the in the tortual suggested command

 

[CrazyJose]

Am I right that you are already working in the directory "/img-tools" and want to mount the sys.raw file in it ? So then, if you determine to mount "/img-tools/sys.raw" that this could be interpreted as mount "/img-tools/img-tools/sys.raw", a directory that doesn't exist ?
Or am I seeing something wrong ?

 

[devrieshh]

i have compiled the system.img file to sys.raw and i want the sys.raw folder so that you can swich framework,apps and other folders with roms to port
i want to have the outcom from the sys.raw ext4 file mounted in the /base home/working folder..

see .http://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-how-to-port-lollipop-marshmallow-t3283452

mounting system.img should do the job ,so you do not have to format it to sys.raw.
i made a map working in the img-tools map,but with the command below i got ...mount point working/ does not exist

base home/img-tools$ sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.img working/
mount: mount point working/ does not exist

I'm more familiar with DOS. But the principle should be the same.
i will try to understand the link you posted...will keep you informed

EDIT: if i'm right, then you are inside the "img-tools" folder and trying with this command to mount system.img to a folder named "working" in it.

e.g.: /base home/img-tools/working

but you want to mount it to the folder /base home/working, right ?

so you have to type it in another way. try: sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.img /base home/working/

I'm not sure what Linux expect. maybe the slash before "base home" in my example is not needed.

I sat the whole night to find any supersu which roots flawless our doogee x3 on android 6.0. and i found it ! i flashed, installed, reflashed about hundred of times another supersu version by version downwards. it's the version 2.61 which works properly ! and yes, you can still use the playstore update of supersu + binary update inside the app without losing root or getting a boot stuck. see linked zip for working supersu you'll better save it safely

http://www89.zippyshare.com/v/iUH99ub0/file.html

EDIT: I'm not sure it could be important, but I kept the system partition as read only as I installed SuperSU. Maybe you want to do it also.
