I know this isn't a top phone right now so the available dev work will be VERY limited but I need to install custom recovery on this phone. My device isn't listed and shows it has no support for it so can I force a new recovery image manually? If so do I need to back-up my old recovery image first? I did some researching and couldn't find a clear guide on how to install it manually or if there was any risk involved. I appreciate all the help
Anybody know anything about this?

Ok, this is my very first Android, and I don't have the finances to replace it, so, I hope there's help. lol. I rooted my U8652, and somehow deleted the stock recovery. I have googled the snot out of it, and can't find anything. I need to know if someone can show me where to download the stock recovery image and the stock rom, and I also need the steps in which I should take to recover this phone. Thanks for the help.
Any help with this? I need a recovery image ASAP if anyone can help.
Hi Everyone,
I have a Gionee Pioneer and I tried rooting it using advice from this forum but it didn't work. Rather, my phone went into an endless bootloop, just showing the boot image. So I want to ask if there is anyway I can get the stock ROM and how do I root it next time. Also, how do I flash the generic android OS to it if I can't find the stock ROM? Thanks.

I have an rooted device. Did you find a solution? I think you can make a backup of the rom with super flash tool.

Can you enter the bootmenu? Press volume key while power on? There are some option to reset the device. I have rooted my device with superoneclick and MTK 6573 ADB drivers. These are the original Google drivers for Nexus One, etc. There are many MTK 6573 ADB drivers package to download for free. Just try anyone and superoneclick. Otherwise it can be your device is brick and you need a special cable or so. But that's on top my head.

You're going to need to provide more detail if you expect any help:
1. What ROM? (for all we know that can be either CM9 or CM10/10.1)
2. What method did you use? You mentioned a method but provided no link.
If you think that you did all the steps correctly, sometimes you just need to wait it out. First boot does take a long time.
Or could be a simple thing like a corrupt download of the rom zip. As you still can go to your recovery, your phone's safe. You can redownload the rom (confirm the size after download) or try another rom. Next time, better to keep a nand backup of your working rom through your recovery, for emergencies like this.
Good luck. BTW which recovery r u using? And which rom were you trying?

Good day to everyone here on XDA. I'm a Noob and I need your help.
My question is about recovery images.
Can you build your own recovery?
I came up with this question because of my problem on my phone. I messed up with my phone's recovery and i dont know how to fix it.
My phone is a Cherry Mobile Click W120. Hardware MT6575. My problem started when I tried to flash a Universal CWMR to it and unfortunately, I failed. Now, it doesnt have a recovery mode anymore. Searched about a million times for a solution, flashed hundreds of recoveries via mobileuncle(cwmr,twrp, amon ra, even stock ones) but still no luck.
So, is there any way to build your own recovery? Or do we have a recovery image out there which is compatible to this device?
I hope someone will respond to a noob like me. But still, im hoping someone can help me.
I will appreciate any kind of reply. Either negative or positive. Another question, is it possible to ask someone for the recovery image who also uses the same unit that i'm using? then flash it on my phone?
I'm no expert but I'll try to explain it to you.
1st question: yes, you can, since all custom recovery images are made from source, you can find out more here: http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/porting-clockworkmod-recovery-to-a-new-device
2nd question: you can find a custom recovery image for popular devices, but you won't find it for every android device out there.
3rd question: he must have the image, if it's already flashed into the phone, I don't think that it can be extracted. you can also flash the stock recovery image if you find it. I can't help you there tho.
Now, I did some searches on the forum and google but I didn't find any CWM recovery image for your mobile phone..
Hit thanks button if this helps you in any way. Cheers !

tbh, i would just have to go dig through your phones forum to find if its possible and the information.
it would be best for you, to use the phone search box at the top and go to your phones forum and see whats available.
1. you need to see if there is a root for the version you are on.
if you find one, instructions will be contained to use it.
2. if rooted, you need to find a twrp or cwm recovery for your version.
if you find one, instructions should be contained to install it. generally flashify app will do it, but confirm with thread instruction.
3. reboot into this new recovery and look for the backup and restore tab. select all options but cache(s). you dont need to save those.
4. after done, boot the phone and use a file explorer to find the cwm or twrp folder, go inside until you find your backup, then save a copy to your pc. this is very important, as if you mess something up later, and accidentally wipe the backup off your phone, you will have a spare copy to replace it.

with root, i know you can pull stuff off with adb, and im sure push it back, but i believe there are files that wont pull.
one problem you may have,
if you change major versions, certain partitions get updated other than the rom/system. the problem is, if you put your old rom back on, it frequently wont work and will cause a bootloop. there are other partitions that would need to be downgraded for it to work, and in some cases they are not downgrade-able.
you are best to do some reading about your device to get more familiar with it. find out what you can and cant do.
