HOW TO CREATE A CWM BACKUP/CWM RECOVERY.IMG FOR ANY MTK PHONE/DEVICES

It’s quite disheartening when I see people complaining of the woes having their phone devices bricked without them having a proper stock rom backup via cwm  recovery or having a clockwork mode recovery backup which could have helped them restore their phones back to the last backup before the phone bricks occurrence.

The main item or ingredient neccessary in having a cwm  backup is to get the particular recovery.img  for the phone type..

 

 

instead of trying to Google for the compatible recovery image posted by someone else for your phone type,  why not just created the cwm recovery by yourself in a couple of minutes {we all know that flashing the wrong recovery.img of someone else on your phone might have adverse effects on the phone itself…

ONCE AGAIN… it is very important to have your android given permision for root shell which is quite different from the phone being rooted..

To do this in a simple way… Just install BusyBox app on your phone…. Grant it root permission once the app is opened and click on the INSTALL prompt by the left… wait for a while while busybox keeps working on your root shell until you get the INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL prompt…

Close the app and go to the pc for the final steps.

HERE IS AN EASY GUIDE ON DOING THAT….

**{tools needed}

#**MTK DROID TOOLS version 2.5.3 {preferably}..

#** An adb  driver or pda  driver for your phone..(has to be installed and run so as to make the android and pc communicate with one another)

#** root your phone with kingroot{optional cos it can also be rooted using mtkdroid tools}

#**Install busybox  on the phone so as to have root shell access.

android recovery partition

What Is (Android) Recovery

The partition that can be considered as an alternative boot partition that can let any android device boot into a recovery console for performing advanced recovery and maintenance operations on the android device is called The Recovery.

Types of Recovery

Unlike the other platforms, android is an open source, and so, the recovery source codes are available and for these reasons; developing or modifying these source codes is made much more easier than usual.
As a result, there are two types of recoveries; the Stock Recovery and the Custom Recovery.

Stock Recovery
The stock recovery is the built-in partition that contains the recovery console through which the recoverying, updating and maintenance of the android devices are being done.

The stock recovery is a very useful partition but has limited funtionalities as could be compared to the custom recovery. This is however by the design of the stock recovery.

Custom Recovery
In android, the custom recovery is the modified version of the recovery partition made by some thinkers. These custom recoveries could replace the stock recovery and so, could be used instaed of the stock recovery.

Most custom recoveries feature much more funtionalities as could be compared to the stock recoveries. For example; using custom recoveries, you could backup your entire android device contents, select some files or folders to be wiped so you don’t have to wipe everything, install some mods and unsigned version of ROMs and much more.

Clockwork, Amon Ra, TeamWin amongst others are common examples of custom recovery.

[TUT]MTK Android (Sp flash tool ) tutorial

What’s needed:

• USB data cable
• MediaTek USB VCOM drivers
• SP Flash Tool ( Latest version MTK Flash Tool v. 5.1343.01 (18.10.2013))

 

• First of all, make sure that you have MediaTek DA USB VCOM drivers installed.

Flashing the whole ROM

• First of all open SP Flash Tool, then click Scatter-loading button to load the correct scatter file
  (MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt or MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt, depending on which phone you have) for your device and ignore any message that may appear.

• Turn off your phone, remove the battery and replace it after some seconds (and don’t turn on the phone).
• Press F9 (or hit Download button) and connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.
  The process will start and a red progress bar will appear.

• After the red progress bar is complete, there will appear a purple progress bar.

• Right after the purple progress bar is complete, a message will appear underneath it:
  “Please insert USB cable in x seconds” and then the download will start right away (you will see the yellow progress bar filling up).

• When the yellow bar is complete, you’ll get a popup with a green circle and Download OK message,
  which means that the process has been successfully terminated.

• You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on. The process ends here.

Flashing only part of the ROM

• In case you want to flash just one part of the ROM, that is also possible. In the shown example, only recovery image will be flashed.
  Deselect all parts except the one(s) you want to flash and then press F9 (or hit Download button).

• The tool will immediately show a warning because not all parts are selected, but you should continue anyway. Safely press Yes to continue.

• The download of the chosen partition image will start and after the yellow bar is complete, the popup with the green circle should appear.

• Please note that, even though it isn’t mandatory to select it on the list of images to flash,
  preloader file must be present in the same folder as the other partition(s) that you want to flash, or else phone will not be able to enter into download mode.

Attention: Please follow the instructions carefully. I will not take any responsibility on whatever may happen with your phone.

Very important warning: Always make sure that you trust the sources of the ROM you download and know that it is meant for your phone.
After flashing a wrong preloader, your phone will be completely dead (can’t be powered on, it will not charge and won’t be detected anymore by the computer) and there is no way to recover it.

Before I proceed further, the first thing you must do
Is to back up your present Rom (100%) with Droid tool
And SP FLASH TOOL if you haven’t bricked the phone yet.

THIS ROM CAN ONLY BE INSTALLED WITH SP FLASH TOOL

HOW TO INSTALL
First, you need a PC, Mediatek VCOM USB Drivers and SP Flash tool
Do a backup incase things go wrong

• Download the stock Rom and extract the zip
• Open the folder and check for MT6580_Android_scatter.txt (Infinix ROM scatter file has 23 partitions while Android one scatter file has 28 partitions, open with text editor and confirm before flashing)
• Open SP FLASH TOOL as administrator
• Click on scatter loading and load the scatter file above
• Select download and choose sub options of download only or firmware upgrade from
  The drop down option under the download had these following options:
  Download only: use this option when you are flashing the same type of ROM that is in your phone. Use this option for also flashing recovery or if you want to flash select partitions only
  Firmware upgrade: Use this option when you are about to a different ROM from the one in your phone e.g. if you’re using Android one ROM and want to flash infinix ROM or vise versa. Note; to use firmware upgrade option, every partition must be selected. You can also use this option on partially bricked phones.
  Format All and download: this option should only be used for fully bricked phones
• Click on the download icon when you are ready
• Power down your phone, connect quality usb chord to your phone first. Keep
  The phone in a place where it won’t shake. Connect it to your PC. If you correctly
  INSTALLED Mediatek VCOM USB DRIVERS it will detect and install the ROM.

Developers needed

Developers are also needed to help out as all my efforts to port custom recovery
Have proved abortive as it seems that the recovery image is protected. I’ve attached all the image in the ROM so please use the image to see if you can unpack them and create a custom recovery at least.

ABOUT THE ROM
Please make sure that your phone model is X510 to avoid bricking your phone
The infinix Rom is more of AOSP than pure Google that came with my X510
It has more features than the out of Box Rom that came with my phone.
“Ok Google” doesn’t work from from the home screen you have to tap the search
Bar and say OK Google.
It has better battery optimisation about 30-40%
It can work for any most African regions and beyond.
I’ve also added the Android one stock firmware in incase you want to go back to out of the box Google stock Android one firmware. This is necessary because it’s from this stock firmware that you can update to Marshmallow 6.0 once the roll out starts for 2nd generation Android one phones
