Before you start let me make it clear that, I don't own this device or don't have any connection with it. I put this thread only because my friend from Chandigarh, India requested me to do a guide on customizing this device. So, I collected information from members related to this device & from other forums.
The Roms listed here are not my works, so it may or may not work with your device. I tried my level best to make it as simple as it can.

Next you need to Install the stock Recovery Menu.
The complete procedure as well as the required files can be downloaded here.

So, it need to be modified to install any custom rom.

Select only the Recovery option and flash the device with it.
Now reboot into recovery you can see a new recovery menu with options to install any zip file.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR DEVICE

HEY FOLKS,
This THREAD will GUIDE you to flash recovery.img from PHONE.
I found many of the people found difficult to flash recovery via FASTBOOT and TERMINAL EMULATOR by using CODES.
Here is a SIMPLE method to flash recovery from phone through app.
STEPS:
1) Download recovery flasher utility.apk
download link
2) install the recovery flasher utility.apk file.
3) download your preferred recovery.img
4) copy the downloaded recovery.img file to sd-card and place it in ROOT of your sd-card (Don't keep the file inside any folder because the app may not recognize the file)
5) rename the downloaded recovery.img file as recovery.img(all in lower case)
6) Open the app and flash the recovery by pressing the "install recovery" button (Please be patient, wait for the complete flash, wait till you get the display "reboot into recovery")
7) done!!! :good: enjoy your new recovery.:victory:
(note: this method worked very well for me, app flashed recovery within 2sec, and i am not responsible if it wont work for you or anything is messed up.)
:victory: hit :good: if this guide was helpful. :highfive:

Download the recovery in .img file from the link above.
Copy the recovery.img file to the root of your sdcard(Don’t place it inside any folder).

The application is in Chinese, you might have some problem going through it. Still, find an option to “Update Recovery”.
It will ask the location of the img file you want to flash. Point it to the file you pasted in your sdcard in step2.
Your phone should reboot now.
