Thanks so much, buddy. Awesome work, these recoveries (TWRP and CWM) of yours.
Now digging through your device tree, trying to get a grab on how to compile this stuff by myself.
Too bad ROMs for this are few and far behind; it would've been golden if someone's up to the task of porting CM10.1 or 11 for this. Thanks for the CWM though, that'll be much appreciated.

[SIZE=+3]ROOTing, Flashing, and Custom recoveries[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]HTC EVO Shift 4G[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: How do I root my phone....?[/SIZE]
There are several methods for rooting the EVO Shift 4G, below are some of the most used/reliable/common ones in no particular order:
[TOOL][ROOT] Shift ROOTility [1.13.13] by @CNexus
[VIDEO GUIDE] FULL S-OFF ROOT for Evo SHIFT. Froyo (2.2) + Gingerbread (2.3.3+2.3.4) by @VICODAN
Root and downgrade for Android 2.3.4 {Script included - ShiftySonofA script dl added) by @Indirect
2.3.4 Latest OTA[2.77.651.8] Downgrade!! by @JohnnyCakeXM
[SIZE=+1]Q2: What is a custom recovery....?[/SIZE]A custom recovery takes the place of HTC's stock recovery once you root your phone. There are three custom recoveries for the EVO Shift:
Official ClockworkMod Recovery (commonly referred to as CWM)
Team Win Recovery Project (commonly referred to as TWRP)
ClockworkMod-Enhanced (commonly referred to as CWM-E) by dread7us
When choosing which recovery to use, read the ROM/kernel op that you want to flash, most of the time they will tell you which recovery is sorted for their project. In most cases both recoveries work just fine, so ultimately the choice is up to you, but if you decide to go with a recovery that the developer did not recommend, you still not receive support within that developers thread!
[SIZE=+1]Q3: How do I change my recovery ....?[/SIZE]
There are several ways you can do this
Via fastboot.exe
Download the ".img" file for the recovery you want to flash.
Move the "filename".img to the directory where your fastboot.exe program is located.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (see the General FAQ #5 for how to do this)
Type the following in a command prompt/terminal shell in the directory where your fastboot.exe and <fileName>.img recovery are located:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <fileName>.img
Via FlashImageTool **RECOMMENDED**
Download the tool.
Download the recovery.img file for the recovery you want to use.
Connect your phone to your computer with USB debugging enabled.
Open the tool, select your file and then select "recovery" from the dropdown menu.
Click "Flash" and let the tool do it's thing.
Via Terminal/ADB Shell **BRICK IS POSSIBLE HERE, BE CAREFUL WHEN TYPING**
Download the recovery.img file.
Open a terminal on the phone/adb shell from computer.
Type the following to navigate to the download folder
Code:
cd /path/to/download/folder
Flash the recovery to the recovery partition
Code:
dd if=./<recoveryFileName>.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

"ALL MAJOR WORK DONE BY HASHCODE SO GO GIVE HIM SOM THANKS.DO NOT POST ANY BUG OR ISSUE COUSED BY THIS RECOVERY IN ORIGINAL THREAD BY HASHCODE, POST HERE AND I WILL HELP YOU."
CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
BETA v4.11-B01 (NE1/KK)
WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 2.6.1.0 (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
Here you can create virtual ROM-slots (3-4 on the S3 due to partition size and internal space) for flashing ROMs. NOTE: The bigger you make the /data partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.
HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
Requirement: Root
[Safestrap pre V4.07] Requirement: busybox. Grab "Busybox" from the Play Store and run the installer.
Once installed, open up the Safestrap application, Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.
From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.
INSTALL VIDEO by DMX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RZI...e_gdata_player
HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?
During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".
Press the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting (or the hard button underneath each option).
HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?
Push the APK up to your sdcard.
Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.
Open your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button
Browse to where you pushed the APK
Click on it and install like normal
Once installed, open the APK, Grant SU access, Use the "Install Recovery" button.
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Sometimes the installation doesn't work correctly. If you don't see the splashscreen after a rebooting. Install Safestrap again. (DEBUGGING THIS AS I GET TIME)
- Busybox is now required for the Safestrap APK to work correctly

WARNING: Safestrap is heavily modified to be "Safe" for your device. Do not download TWRP from their website and expect it to work the same way. Also TWRP does not support Safestrap, tho some issues that may come up will be TWRP dependant, please try and contact myself or look on the forums for your device for answers before hunting down TWRP people. They won't be able to help w/ Safestrap specific questions.

Use archikitchen I had built one and it booted.
Clone archikitchen repo for last changes.
You need ubuntu or virtual on windows.
deodexe first test to know if its boot.
Then add root, bbx, and debloat with archi only. You can remove apk manualy.
Dont include the boot.img! Not neccessary
build with bbe command.

<3 U Tito Thanks!
And BTW, whenever we use Fastboot mode via USB - where should we place the ".ZIP" and ".IMG" files when we're flashing or hot booting recoveries etc.?
In the SDCard or in the fastboot/adb folder in pc?
I wasn't sure so I've placed in both When I rooted.
And one more thing - Do I've to extract that "fastboot flashable zip" file to be able to provide all those files (.img, .bin, .mbn) to the fastboot console when I type those commands?

This guide will work for any SPRD phone (any SPRD chip) from Old versions of android to latest Oreo but recoveries that I provided in this thread will work for devices from KitKat to Marshmallow no guarantees for older or newer versions.
Buckup! Backup! Backup!
Before modifying system it's highly recommended to have full dump of your device. So don't forget to take backup.
It's simple to get custom recovery for rooted users as they can directly backup, modify and flash recovery or boot images on the go with the help of root. But non-rooted users need to do some extra which will be explained later. Follow the below steps:
=>Download and setup AIK (Android Image Kitchen)
=>Grab your stock_recovery.img
For rooted usersInstall Flashify, Rashr, Partitions Backup or like apps (available on play store for free) and backup the stock recovery. If you are using Flashify to backup you have to rename the backed up image with .img extention
For non-rooted usersDownload your stock firmware which will be in .pac extension extract it using this guide and copy the recovery.img
=>Now download custom recovery (for downloads see 2nd post)
=>Port recovery
For PC version of AIK
• Extract the AIK on desktop in a folder (extracting inside other folder(s) is not recommended)
• Place stock_recovery.img (use the name recovery.img only I added stock to refer the image) in earlier extracted folder
• Now double click on 'unpacking.bat'
• Now you'll see two folders 'ramdisk (mostly executables)' and 'split-img (kernel to boot recovery) rename those folders like this 'ramdisk.s' and 'split_img.s' (renaming is used to avoid copying/moving needed files)
• Now delete the earlier pasted stock_recovery.img and paste custom_recovery.img (rename it to recovery.img)
• Unpack it just like stock_recovery
• Delete the split-img and rename the 'split_img.s' to split_img
• Open recovery.fstab from /ramdisk.s/etc (stock recovery's fstab) and /ramdisk/etc (custom recovery's fstab) using Notepad++ or with your favorite note editor. In case of TWRP recovery this file will be named as twrp.fstab if there is recovery. fstab you can ignore it.
• Edit the partition names and mount points in custom recovery with your stock recovery's fstab. But in most cases the mount points will be shown like this 'mmclbk0p17 for system partition' in that case you need to change custom recovery.fstab with the mount points of your device, to find out mount points of partitions install Diskinfo from play store and enable all options in it which will show complete information regarding each and every partition on your device
• At last double click on 'repackimg.bat' now you'll see 'image-new.img' which is ported custom_recovery.img for your device
• The final step is flashing the recovery. It's easy for rooted users simply use Flashify app to flash. For non-Root users you need to flash it over fastboot mode for this look at this thread.
For mobile version of AIK
You can also port the recovery on-the-go using AIK-Mobile unfortunately to use this needs your device must be rooted with BusyBox (Stephen (stericson) is recommended) installed.
It's a flashable zip but you can extract the zip and place the files manually. Follow below steps for setup:
• Extract the AIK-Mobile.zip
• Paste the AIK-Mobile folder under data/local of extracted zip to /data/local
• Paste files under /bin of extracted zip to /data/local/AIK-Mobile/bin
• Make sure all files including folders are having these permissions "-rwrx-xr-x-".
For placing files, changing permissions and executing scripts 'Explorer' by speed software is recommended.
For porting follow above steps (steps in PC version of AIK) the only difference here is .bat files of PC version will be as .sh in mobile version which are to be executed as root for unpacking and repackaging images.
Note:Follow the instructions properly, don't quote entire OP while asking for help. Due to some touch related drivers missing in kernel of recovery in some devices touch recovery won't work in that case please use Non-Touch recovery. In lollipop or later versions don't flash <3.x.x versions which may result in SD card mounting issues and even flashing errors. First test the recovery that you ported by flash a simple mode (I prefer AIK-Mobile since it doesn't modify the system partition hence there is not chance of bootloop. Also see whether wipe options works properly or not in some devices wiping (even cache) takes ~10m in that case goto settings check the option "use rm -rf instead of formatting".

Sir...
you wrote that delete only split_img.s.....
but not ramdisk.s.......
Is there any problem will arise when repacking with ramdisk.s with ramdisk and split_img of custom recovery?

Read again carefully you have to pack custom recoveries ramdisk with stock split_img and reversing the process will mess up the recovery and then you have to flash the stock recovery. So read the guide carefully step-by-step and follow the process exactly unless you know different working method.

Give it a try it may work. But none of the recoveries that are provided here will work for your device, you need to find Android 7.0 and later recoveries which will be compatible with your chipset model.

TWRP has nothing to do with boot.img. If you are not able to boot to recovery try different key combination. Is you messed up recovery too then flash it via fastboot and then flash the stock Rom.
