I have installed the 5.5.0.4 recovery from Koush via Rom Manager. That recovery is broken and it will not let me flash another recovery. I am asking someone who knows how to push a different custom recovery ( like rogue recovery http://bit.ly/ADptUO ) to the device using ADB, to write a step by step guide with all the commands and necessary files to do so. This will help many people who are stuck in the same situation that I have found myself in. Any help will be appreciated, thank you.
This might get you part of the way there. There might be something in there about flashing a new recovery too.

It says to type the command though ADB while in CWR... my device does not show up in ADB while in recovery.
If you have access to the rom, you can copy your new recovery to the internal sdcard. You can also type the command in the rom with adb or terminal, but be careful since anything that you have in the staging partition will flash after you type the commands and then reboot. So, 1) copy rom to the internal sdcard, 2) reboot to recovery, 3) flash new recovery (nothing will happen yet) 4) reboot to the rom) 5) type commands in adb 6) reboot 7) then make a step by step guide for the next person.

Hi! I was trying to backup my Orange Monte Carlo following a Portuguese tutorial but I'm stuck in the middle and I've got no help! Hope you can provide some! These are the steps I followed (translated)
1 - Install ADB Made Easy;
2 - Open cmd;
3 - Activate cellphone debug mode;
4 - Connect via usb (without mass storage) and install drivers if request [it was requested and i installed];
5 - Run adb devices, it should show your device [it did];
6 - Run adb reboot bootloader, your cellphone will boot in Fastboot, wich is an Android image without menus [correct until here];
7 - Run fastboot devices, your device yor a question mark(?) should show up (advance to next step), else you miss drivers [step not completed];
cmd says 'fastboot' is not recognized as a command. Now my phone is stuck connected to the computer with an adriod pick and I have no clue on what to do next!
Don't know where you were going with this but to reboot your phone just pull the battery ..
Not bricked

Thank you! Do you have any idea why the last command doesn't work? I believe it has something to do with file location... I'm trying to backup my Monte Carlo. Next steps were to "fastboot boot recovery.img" and then backup.
It should be in the platform-tools directory of the android-sdk. Verify that it's there...if so cd to that directory and it should work
I already fixed it for myself, thanks! Now I can't seem to be able to install clockwork!
Doing <<fastboot boot "C:\Users\R&J\Downloads\recovery.img">> reboots the device but doesn't enter recovery.
Doing <<fastboot flash recovery "C:\Users\R&J\Downloads\recovery.img">> , <<fastboot reboot>> and <<adb wait-for-device reboot recovery>> results the phone entering android's default recovery (no acess to backup feature).
Any way to help? Thank you!
The first command <<fastboot flash recovery "C:\Users\R&J\Downloads\recovery.img">> is trying to write the recovery.img you downloaded to a recovery partition on your device. It may not be overwriting the original recovery.
try changing permissions by doing
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /recovery
then try to flash again
Lol it seems like I have been luck enough to solve my own problems, I have sucessfully installed ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.1.4 unofficial MoDaCo Edition using a bat file . Now I can't seem to find a way to flash recovery back to stock. I though this was an option inside the modded recovery. Any tips? Thanks again!
EDIT: I have the stock recovery file . God... this tutorials I'm folowing aren't that noob friendly...
Hello everyone, a few day I rooted my Mediatek MT6575 using "SRSRoot for Android" with a great result, but after that, I searching for a CWM Recovery for this model of phablet (because is a hybrid between phone and tablet). Reading other forum I found this forums and some threats about root, backup and how to install a CWM in MTK devices using a program called MTK Droid Root and Tools. But in those threats talk about some things I don't understood, like ubifs file system and root shell.
This are some caps I made and the log file.
I hope someone can help me about this, and maybe tell me if I can make a CWM in my device.
Sorry for my Englis
I answer myself, it's possible CWM with MTKDroid Tools, because my device is ext4, searching I found other tools and commands to know what kind of format is using in my device, the first method is through the ADB terminal input the line command "adb shell mount" and show the type of format.
I made a backup of my recovery with Rashr and check the debbugin usb option, after that I try two programs.
1.- Easy Magic CWM: I made a test with this program, it´s very simple and fast, you have two ways to make a custom recovery, manual and automatic, for beginners is neccesary the automatic method, just only follow the instructions, when finnish the program, the device just reboot in the new touch recovery.
This program have two version, one for ext4 and other for ubifs system files. In case of the device are unsupported the program shows a error screen.
Note: In some devices the recovery have image problems, freeze moments, delay responses and other strange cases like return to recovery stock.
2.- MTKDroid Tools: I follow the instructions of the tutorial allow in this forum.
Sorry for my English.
Hello guys! Hope I can find my salvation here. Hehe
I've been coding my Windows App that functions much like a custom recovery but I came into a problem which is bugging me
since last week. I can't seem to push files to my phone through adb. I have no idea why it wont work because pull is working fine, and shell as well. I tried remounting the file system as rw but still no luck. Hope you can help me out guys
My phone's Specification:
-Spreadtrum SC7731
-Running Android 5.1
My environment:
-Windows 10
-adb installed
-device drivers installed.
PS: If you are wondering why make a recovery that runs in PC while you can just have it in your phone?
-Unfortunately, I got a problem with that. I ported TWRP for my phone, but touch wont work which makes it useless.
Please help me sensei's!
Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery (CMW for exmpl), put the root package at the root dir of the sdcard, now boot the phone into recovery mode and select install zip from sdcard then reboot
On pc, write the following command : "adb remount"
Gratzz you're now rooted and able to push files into system partition ��
Root at your own risk. Unlocking the bootloader makes you lose the warranty and will wipe your data .. So take a backup.

Reread the OP. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: I'm on Spreadtrum phone which means no source(yet.. or forever). I don't really know if you just misinterpreted the post or just trying to acquire post count. :3
Hi, my G6-U10 is hard bricked and has gone to QDLoader 9008 mode so i cant go to recovery, fastboot,adb mode .
i need EMMC image of a similare device (G6-U10) so i can fix it following instructions in this thread .
i dont need whole EMMC image, just first 100-200 MB .
to extract EMMC, you need to be on stock rom with root access.
to do so:
1. Enable "USB debugging" in "Developer Options". then connect your device to Windows PC.
2. download and extract ADB. then run the following command through CMD:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/EMMC.img bs=100m count=1
note that you must enter each row separately and confirm the dialogs appeared on your device screen to grant root and adb access for pc. the option bs=100m mean that the dd command will only extract first 100MB of EMMC. and FYI, this file is only backup from system partition, not from any private files, no need to worry.
the extracted file will be in internal SD, named EMMC.img , compress it in ZIP or RAR so it will have much less size, then send it here to solve many people's problems. anybody does that, i'll appreciate.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks bro, but it's just 100bytes, not 100Mbytes. i think you used bs=100 instead of bs=100m
please consider reuploading , you are my saviour
info on the progress:
I got EMMC image thanks to @washichi :good: (download it from attachments).
then i could finally wake my device up, in the fastboot and recovery, following instructions in this thread(first post).
i can go into Fastboot mode but though i had unlocked bootloader (before), but i can only flash recovery, system(partly) and boot partitions. other partitions give me error ((Remote: Not Allowed)).
the only recovery that i could go into, was the latest TWRP 3 . in recovery i can even connect my device in MTP mode to pc and see files on the internal SD! but i was not successful with flashing roms, it always gives me error mounting cache, system, data. ADB mode is also accessible, used adb sideload to flash rom, but it didnt worked too!
i think part of internal SD is damaged and need to be fixed somehow. still havent found out how.
so, for guys who are having problems similar to me or "Internal Storage Damaged blah blah" i recommend trying to follow these steps to see if their internal SD is still flashable or not:
1. Download an official Rom for your device and unpack it using HuaweiUpdateExtractor.
2. download and extract latest (at least 1.0.32) fastboot in the same folder as extracted huawei IMG files are (Gush bless me! there's too much grammatical erros in my texts )
3. connect your device in fastboot mode (instructions above).
4. go to the directory where all extracted files place. Hold shift and right click on empty space, chose "Open command window here".
Note: you must have an unlocked bootloader to be able to continue, type this command to see if its unlocked:
Code:
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
if you're unlocked, then continue reading, if not, i dont think there is a way to find unlock key for your device.even DC unlocker cant recognize your device in fastboot and adb.
5. now that you know you have an unlocked BL, type these commands one bye one:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash aboot aboot.img
fastboot flash tz tz.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]XXX [/COLOR][COLOR="SeaGreen"]XXX[/COLOR].img
as i said before, i could only flash 3 partitions with success. but if you where able to flash all parts with success, your extremely have a chance to revive your device. at last, type fastboot reboot to see if you boot up successfully, if not, you will go again in fastboot mode or recovery mode.
for me, default recovery mode just freezes, so i flashed TWRP 3 instead of default recovery. you can try that too.
one more thing: you might not be successful to reboot into recovery, you must restart until you succeed. if you stuck in freezed recovery, open the device back, unscrew the little steel plate (it has 2 screws) and dettach the battery cord, wait 3 secs, re-attach it. i have done it more than 300 times now i dont even know where is the steel plate
FYI, EMMC image in the attachment is for G6-U10 only and probably will not work for other G6 models. if you want G6-L11 emmc, i can share it for you.
if anything was not clear for you, ask me.
@bugggmenot Everytime i insert the sd card and try to enter fastboot mode by holding the Volume+, the PC keeps beeping and refreshing the device manager, tho i can't see any hardware detected. The phone isn't recognizable as fastboot device and the LED is lighting in a blue color.
Any ideas?

Do as follows:
1. detach the battery and retach it again.
2. connect the device to pc WITHOUT holding any buttons.
3. if you go into fastboot mode, you will see a blue "Fastboot mode" in middle of texts (and Blue LED).
4. type in cmd: fastboot devices
if your device is listed, you are good to go for flashing procedure.
oh and one more important thing: install fastboot and adb drivers. it's a global driver not device specific, so install any you van find ( sorry I can't Google it for you right now).

I got it to the progress you did. Was able to flash only boot.img recovery.img and like 950MB of system.img. Yet smth makes me to think that everything i do flash is being flashed in the SDcard memory not in the internal one, is it supposed to be like that?
Edit1: Tried to flash an update.zip which i made by using huawei tools extractor from the stock recovery but the verification aborted the update. Tried with CWM by using adb sideload but there was some error while sending, also tried with TWRP which seems to erase its memory everytime when i restart the phone, the adb sideload doesnt work and couldn't found the flashable zip after i pushed it in by using adb

i dont think so.
i thought like you, but to test it i went to TWRP recovery and removed SD card, Formated SD (via MiniTool Partition) and reinserted SD into device. at this level , device cant recognize SD anymore, so i reformatted SD via TWRP (i dont remember the exact path, sorry), and this time SD appeared in PC ! so i simply put flashable SlimStock and flashed it via TWRP. but it exactly took the time that it had taken before when i tried to flash SlimStock via Sideload. and in both ways, it takes about 30 min to pass the system.img flashing ! so this can be a proof that in the both ways, images are being flashed on the internal SD, not ExSD.
any way, at this point it seems that we cannot go any further. but who knows? we made a dead device into TWRP, so why not...

Well i did try flashing img files via TWRP but it allows me to modify just recovery or boot partition. Tried also making flashable zip of the partition to run it from CWM but i get stuck.
I also tried
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
and
Code:
flashing unlock
but i recieve 3 dots, maybe i should be more patient next time to see what will happen.
===========================================================================
@bugggmenot i've found the file for G6-C00 for qualcomm bootloader platform. Will they work on G6-U10???

Why not try to repartition your device?
You can you the parted binary (google will find it) and put it on your /sdcard or / (the root folder). NOT your internald memory or any other partition thats your EMMC.
Now umount ALL partitions in recovery, except for the external sdcard. Go to the commandline in the recovery and cd to the parted binary. Now typ 'parted /dev/block/mmcblk0'.
Type 'print' to see your partition table.
You can now modify your partition table (only ext2 and fat32 partitions support, BUT you can format it whit your recovery soo it will be ext4. (Dont check RM format in settings!).
Hope this will fix the flashing problem.
