Hi, immortal, thanks a ton for the guide. I managed to root my phone as well as remove most of the bloatware. A couple of questions, would be great if you could help me out with
1. In another thread you mentioned installing fly-on mode for some tweaks to make it run smoother. Would be great if you could help with a link or instructions. I tried googling but could only find ones that needed CWM recovery
2. The space for apps is only 800MB. I know link2sd allows you to allocate external sd card memory, but i was wondering if there is a way to increase the internal memory allocation itself for apps, since there is about 6GB or internal memory.
Would appreciate your help in this regard.

Thanks for the quick response. Apologies for so many questions, but i am not quite sure how to do it manually. I downloaded the zip "Signed_Fly-On_Mod™_sqlite_KK4.4.zip". I understand thats a flashable file, i tried to unzip it and i got the meta-inf and system folders. where exactly should i put these folders?
Also, i am currently using root browser, do you recommend root explorer (its a paid app right?) I did not understand the numbers you assigned to each folder, is that some kind of root permission that you give in root explorer?

You can safely ignore metainfo folder ...
Only need to paste contents of system folder ie contents inside system folder .....to system folder in your device
Simply contents of system folder to system folder of your device ( inside ticked folder in image )
Root explorer is most best root file manager for ever .... ?
Permissions please refer these images with value

Not sure if you have a locked bootloader, but you could try this command to find out
Command to boot into bootloader:adb reboot bootloader
Command to check bootloader status: fastboot oem device-info
Command to unlock bootloader: fastboot oem unlock
Command to check if recovery works without writing over your stock recovery: fastboot boot recovery.img
if it works then continue with next step
Command to flash cwm recovery: fastboot flash recovery magnum_recovery.img (on linux this has to be on home folder( or fastboot flash recovery C:\magnum_recovery.img on root folder of C:\ on Windows))
next step
Command to reboot: fastboot reboot
Try this CWM 6.0.5.1 and report back
To test recovery I recommend you install aroma file manger first. And post a picture of mounts here.

If it's not loading the storage sdcard then I have to adjust the fstab or add flags to correct but without the device it's nearly impossible to figure what it's needed. Recovery logs would help.
Done for the night, will respond in the morning.

Before installing any custom rom perform a NANDROID backup.
This method is successfully tested by me however use this at your own risk!
How exactly is CWM recovery supposed to be installed on the tablet?
just run the Recovery-Install.bat with micromax funbook connected & ADB driver installed on your computer, it will autometically install CWM recovery on your funbook.
Funbook is Pre-Rooted. No Need to root it again.
Thank You

For all having problems in installing I found this on thinkk digit forums... Maybe this will help you:
INSTALLING CUSTOM RECOVERY
1. Download CWM Recovery 5 ICS.zip
2. Extract it.
These are the requirements fo Flash CWM...
- tablet must be running Android ICS version (4.0.x)
- tablet must have Superuser installed with SU binary loaded
- tablet must have Debugging enabled (ADB drivers included)
Your Funbook is Pre-Rooted, so we'll just proceed with installing Superuser App from Market
3. Go to Play Store and download Superuser.
4. Go to Superuser App > Settings > Su Binary > Install the Binary
5. Reboot.
Now we'll enable USB Debugging
6. Go to Settings > Developer Options > Turn On USB Debugging.
Now we'll increase the screen timeout to prevent screen from getting turned off in the middle of these procedures
7. Go to Settings > Display > Select Never at Sleep.
8. So now connect the USB Cable to your PC and Funbook and you should see USB Debugging Connected notification.
At this point, if this is your first time, you may see Windows trying to find Drivers which will fail ofcourse. Go to Device Management [Press Windows Key + R > Type devmgmt.msc] > Right Click on Unknown Devices > Update Driver Software > Browse My Computer for Driver Software > Both 64bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-64bits] and 32bit [Drivers-AllwinnerA10-32bits] Drivers are provided there within a folder named ADB_Drivers under the Recovery Package, so just browse them according to your OS Specification. A screen may appear up saying "The Publisher of this Driver could not be verified", just ignore that and "Continue Anyway".
9. DO NOT TURN ON USB STORAGE. LEAVE IT AS IT IS.
Time to install CWM. There are two methods. One is easy, by running a script and another is using ADB by typing commands. You'll get an _Instructions.txt there which lists both the methods in case you want to try out the 2nd method. Here I'll only cover the easy one i.e. using Script.
10. Run recovery-install.bat [Windows] / recovery-install.sh [Linux] and press any key and just wait and watch the show
11. Within few mins recovery will be installed.
To reboot in Recovery Mode -> Press Options Key and by keeping it pressed, Press Power Key. Release Power Key and then Release Options Key.
12. Reboot.

HAVING PROBLEM WHILE INSTALLING CWM?? GETTING PERMISSION DENIED ERROR??
Ok, for those who cannot install CWM from the normal steps(most probably new funbook users having Base 1.2 and ICS 4.0.3) follow these steps.
1. Install Superuser from playstore, update binary, you'll notice it will fail one part(red text), re do the update 2,3 times staright away until all the text become green, no need to reboot phone, but you might want to.
2. Install Android terminal from playstore, in terminal put su and press enter, if you get a warning allow it, if # comes you have root access. If not, re do step one. Don't continue till you get this step correct.
3. Download ES File manager from playstore, go to settings, allow all root access related options and also tick go upto root option.
4. Now start ES file manager, go to root, long press the dev folder, set properties, check all boxes, click ok. Do the same for the data folder, now open the dev folder, and repeat the steps for the block folder, and inside the block folder do the steaps for nandg file.
5. Allow USB debugging from dev options, connect the cable, install drvers.
6. Run the ICS recovery script, wait for it to finish, if it fails then you need to check and set permission again, if all goes well you have successfully installed CWM.
Warning: When setting permissions in ES File Manager make sure the USB cable is not attached, if so it might cause a hard crash and brick the device.
I had used this method to flash CWM on mine and on my friends device, both Base 1.2 and ICS 4.0.3(made in may 2012, the rom build no is: 97F1-D1-H2-H01-MMX.20120512) hence I think funbooks made after may 2012 must use this method, otherwise the script will fails due to permission denial.

This thread is old and very few to none uses this device anymore. I will leave this thread here for your reference.
All of the developments of this device will still be posted here so always keep in touch with this thread for great news.
Cheers! :good:
Unbrick theory...
trying the one touch upgrade utility. it wipes all data in phone and installs a fresh and latest ROM for the device. i guess this will also fix a bricked device somehow.
after this i will try to root it again using MTK tools and ap flash tools with a different idea in my mind... hope it works this time...
[EDIT] UNBRICK METHOD CONFIRMED WORKING!!!
One touch Upgrade
Hello there I'm a total noob in rooting and unlocking bootloads. I just got the same phone as my first android phone and wondered how to root it and I end up here. Now I'm asking how did you get the one touch upgrade software. I've searched the whole alcatel website but I keep getting on the FAQ page. Would you be so kind to put up the link for the software because I kinda bricked my phone here. I was also wondering what speed did you use during your Bin4ry script root attempt? Normal or Special? Keep doing a good job. Thanks for having the time to look for ways to root this phone.

I tried the normal mode as Bin4ry said that the others might brick the phone it it wasn't the right model. did you brick it using the srcipt? any way. still trying to root it and finding help from rua1 that has a great knowledge in MTK phones...
here's the link of the upgrade utiliuty... just install it and choose alcatel 4030 (if your phone is s'pop) then power of the phone remove the battery and follow the instructions on PC and wait till it says plug the phone while powered off.. plug the usb (without battery) then wait for it to detect the device. when it loads, put the battery back and wait for it to download the firmware.. it will take hours to download it.. it's about 2+gigs... good luck on unbricking.. hope it works...
Phone unbricked
Many thanks for the software. My phone is now back to stock rom. for the Bin4ry I also tried Normal because I thought it was for tabs only. So MTK is the only course of action? Any news on fixing the 2 point horizontal bug? and the alcatel FAQ says there's this TCL calibration that you can activate to you know "calibrate" the touch screen. Do you also get the problem where in the stock alarm app alarms but you can't dismiss it ( I set it to crazy mode ) where you need to press 3 buttons to dismiss but still won't stop I really need to pull the battery out. Help please Thanks in advance.

Great. So my theory really worked. Glad you unbricked it. I'm getting closer to rooting it. Just having problems flashing the cwm. Ones I managed to flash it, rooting may be successful. I use Mtk tools and flash tools and get help from rua1. Didn't use my alarm before so i'm not sure about the bug. Maybe you don't have to set it in crazy mode..
I tried to set the alarm in crazy mode and everything works fine. Just dismiss, unlock, and tap the three buttons with numbers and your done..
Rooted, finally!!
I finally rooted the alcatel spop. I will make a guide maybe later how I did it...

Disclaimer: Your warranty is now void. You do this in your own risk. I do not take any responsibility to your device. This will definitely brick your device which is normal but follow the right instructions to make it work again.
Credits: This is tuts would not be possible without the help from the creator of MTKdroid tools, rua1 from XDA Developers. Thank the guy for his wonderful tool. If you wanna know how I did it, go to his thread right here. I also wanna acknowledge The Solutor and rimmon1971's efforts for porting the TWRP to our device. You can find The Solutor's work here.
Requirements:
1. A windows based PC
2. MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tool
3. Universal ADB driver
4. One Touch Upgrade S
5. Root script
6. Patience
7. Most important! Use your brain!
Important!
To make this work without errors, don't use other drivers available in the web. Just install One Touch Upgrade S first. It will install the USB VCOM preloader driver. It will be needed by the SPFT to detect the phone. Use the provided ADB driver for the MT65xx_android_phone. If ever you get stucked in an error and your device wont boot anymore, just use One Touch Upgrade and your phone will be as good as new...
Guide: CWM/TWRP recovery
1. Download MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tools, ADB Drivers, One Touch Upgrade S, and the Root script. Extract them anywhere in your computer.
2.Install ADB driver.This step is now optional to get adb working. You can now skip to step 5 if you just want to get rooted with CWM/TWRP recovery installed.. In your phone, go to Settings>Development. Set to on and check USB debugging.

}
3. Connect device to PC. Driver will fail to install (thats normal). Install UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
Note: in Windows 8, this will pop-up. do this:
4. After installing the Universal ADB driver, go to device manager of your computer. Follow the images as descirbed.
ADB commands should work now (if you have ADB installed) and you won't have any problems about MTK droid tool not detecting phone.
5. Be sure that you have already installed One Touch Upgrade S before this step. Open SP Flash tool and select the scatter file by clicking on the Scatter-loading button.
6. UNCHECK BOOT and leave RECOVERY checked. Disregard what is on the photo. There's are reports that the latest firmwares are incompatible with the uploaded patched boot.img.
Note: By default, the CWM recovery will be selected in the SP Flash tool. If you want the fully working TWRP-recovery (I recomment this because CWM recovery is not fully functional), just click RECOVERY and replace it with this file.
7. Click Download button. Click yes on the download warning. Turn off phone, remove battery and connect the phone (without battery) and wait until SP Flash tool detects the phone and watch as it flash the image.
8. If everything passes without errors, unplug the phone, reinsert battery and boot to recovery by pressing power + volume up.
9. You should boot in CWM/TWRP recovery. We are ready to flash the Superuser app to gain root.
Guide: Superuser
You can use mtk droid root and tools here. Just plug in phone to pc while still in CWM recovery. Run mtk tools, wait to detect phone, click superuser, then build.prop, then delete china. Your done. Or use the guide below if you have problems with it.
Using CWM recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on CWM recovery, plug the phone into PC again.
2. Navigate using volume up and down buttons. Press Power button to select and Back soft key to go back.
3. Select mounts and storage>mount USB storage.
4. Copy the root-glory-2-4030E.zip to your sdcard.
5. After copying, select unmount and go back.
6. Select install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard>root-glory-2-4030E.zip and select yes - Install root-glory-2-4030E.zip
7. It will flash the app to the system including all needed binaries. I also included the fix-permissions banary which is missing from the ROM.
8. Reboot the phone and wait. It will boot normally and no data will be lost. You will see superuser app in your app drawer. You are now rooted!:thumbsup:
Using TWRP recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on TWRP recovery,Connect the device to PC.
2. Tap mount in the screen then Mount USB storage.

bootanimation problem!
I changed my bootanimation and tried if it works using these commands which i normally do with my past android devices.
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the animation works fine but when i hit:
Code:
adb reboot
the animation showed was just android mask or android shine which shows when you don't have bootanimation.zip inside /data/local or /system/media. it's like a default bootanimation.
so once I booted, I tried again
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the bootanimation works but when I reboot, it's back to default.
I tried replacing back the original bootanimation.zip but it still the defaut bootanimation. It's very weird. I haven't encountered this before...

Found out the cause of this issue. The stock ROM has no fix_permissions binary. So I pushed the binary and tried to fix perm again and now custom bootanimation.zip works!

How to Change Bootanimation.
STILL DWYOR
Update: Video tutorial by Mr. Keiven Adrian Docos Busita. Watch it Here. Thanks Keiven.
First of all I will start this thread at changing the bootanimation since it's this thread's first purpose. Rooting, build.prop, init.d, scripts are to follow if ever i feel like adding them. Rooting on the other hand will be added for sure because we need a rooted device to change bootanimation.
Requirements:
1. Cherry Mobule Burst/Lava Xolo A500 (Duh!)
2. Root permission (Guide on rooting at OP)
3. Root Explorer
4. Good Understanding.
Procedures:
Step 1
Install Root Explorer an open it.

bootanimation.zip
shutdownanimation.zip
turnoff.mp3 (not sure what's its real name, I forgot, I deleted mine)
turnon.mp3 (not sure what's its real name, I forgot, I deleted mine)
Step 3
Download custom bootanimation you want, any size will fit.
Step 4
Delete(not recommended) or backup(recommended) your stock bootanimation.zip to your PC or micro sd, and copy your downloaded bootanimation.zip to that folder (/system/media).
Note: You can also delete the shutdownanimation.zip to skip shutdown animation.
Step 5
Reboot and Enjoy.
Note: The "BURST" that comes out during turn on cannot be replaced because it's a bootsplash and can only be tweaked inside boot.img which is where our kernel lies. Custom ROM is the only way to replace that. If someone have already replaced that, you can freely share it here.
General Note: If root explorer displays this: "bootanimation.zip cannot be moved/deleted because the file system is read-only." tick first the [Mount R/W] Button on the upper right until it becomes [Mount R/O].

Well sorry for the extremely late reply
Been out of station and will again soon
well i have flashed the CWM, the latest one, and its perfect.
Before flashing I even checked the partition table and its perfect.
Nothing needs to be changed.
Only thing, emmc support is not there in this one, but otherwise its perfect.
BTW I am talking abt the XOLO A500 not the CM Burst
CM Burst has a slight different partiton
When you flash the cwm select reboot system now
It'll say the system may flash back stock recovery . Do you want to prevent this from happening select yes

Yes, We can install Custom ROMs (Themed ROMs or Ported ROMs). But, with kernel sources a lot of development can happen. :good:

No need to wait for a Custom ROM. You can try One-Power-guard app, Clean master and Greenify app's.

DISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROMS have risks and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.
Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledges about phones and phones utilities too.
Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.
This guide may be obsolete now for the new MTK SOC's powered phones, but it will give you some ideeas about how MTK phones world works (especially if you are new to this).
Why this thread?
- Because of all those PMs I receive with questions about how to do this or how to do that.
These things aren't they covered here on XDA?
- Some of them are, some don't, or they are spread over the forum in different sections, different threads. Also I will present here my vision about how to do things, and in some parts is different than the others existent.
I tried to document all steps with images for a better understanding, and to make it easy for people who don't understand well English (also I don't claim that my English is very good, but I'm trying).
1. If you want to use your phone as you buy it, then this thread is not for you, but if you want to use a custom recovery, to install a custom ROM, or some modds, keep reading.
2. First big step in our journey is to root your phone, which most of you know that means to get root (administrator) access to your phone's OS - just a simple definition. With an unrooted phone, you can't do much, and that means you will use it pretty much as you buy it - see first point.
There are multiple methods to root your phone, through an application from your phone, with an executable software from your PC or by flashing a zip modd from recovery (only for custom recoveries).
A. The best rooting application at the moment (in my opinion), is Framaroot.apk, developed by alephzain - please stop by his thread and drop a thanks, or if you can buy his donnation app from Playstore to support his work. You can download this app from official thread.
B. For rooting with a software from PC, I know three big candidates: oneclickroot, kingoroot and srsroot. I know there are more, but I mentioned only the best known.
C. Rooting zip archives are two, to choose from: chainfire's and koush's. Although, these require to have a custom recovery installed.
Any method you choose, be sure to check the phone models reported to work for, and look for your model.
Next, I will present step by step what I call "the beginner's routine":
root the phone;
make a nvram backup;
make a stock ROM backup;
generate a custom CWM and flash it;
patch to unsecure the boot and flash it;
get a Root File explorer;
create a custom recovery by porting one.
Prerequisites:
you must have an account on XDA; if you don't, then create one - and remember, at beginning you will not be allowed to post but you can hit Thanks for people I will mention here.
use a computer with Windows XP or 7 (I don't know if it will be any problem in vista or windows 8, but I didn't tried them, so I can't tell).
a phone with MTK CPU, obviously!
these tools:
MTKDroidTools of rua1's - download it from his thread and hit Thanks or donate to him, please
SPFlashTools or MTKFlashTools.
MTK USB Drivers and your phone manufacturer's USB Drivers if they provide that.
For MTK USB Drivers, there are many sources, but I couldn't find any official source. Few known sources: here and here.
* ADDED: For windows 7 and xp I repacked all MTK needed drivers, bundled with latest google usb drivers and using windows driver installer. Some of the drivers are not digitally signed, so when the prompt window ask you if you want to install unsigned driver (it will be several times) select yes or ok. The advantage is that this method is easier than manual method and also will create an entry in installed programs, and later if you want you can uninstall them in control panel uninstall program. Before installing this you need to remove old drivers installations - use usbdeview (download it x86 or X64), and look for VendorId 0bb4 and 0e8d, and uninstall every device with these Ids. Packed drivers are attached to this post; take what corresponds to your windows version. Unpack the archive, open the folder and run dpinst.exe. More info inside: read info.txt (especially for XP).
Install all needed drivers.
A good text editor (Notepad++ or Geany) installed.
Adb installed in your computer from Android: here, here and here you can learn how.
Credits and Thanks:
@alephzain - Framaroot developer
@rua1 - developer of MTKDroidTools
@Chainfire - SuperSU developer
@Koush - so many things!!!
@michfood - developer of Boot Recovery pack/unpack tool
and, even if it is not presented here, but because I use a lot his tools in Linux:
@bgcngm - for his Unpack/Repack scripts
1. Root the phone.
For this step I choose to use Framaroot.apk, first because I don't like to install unnecessary software on my computer, and second because it supports a very large number of MTK phones. So, go to alephzain's thread and download the apk, then connect your phone to PC with USB debugging enabled, turn on USB Mass storage and copy Framaroot.apk to your sdcard root, or in internal storage if you don't have a sdcard in your phone. Eject phone's USB storages from PC, and turn off USB Mass storage from phone.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Go to apps drawer, find File Manager, open it, navigate to location where you placed Framaroot.apk touch on it and install it. After that go back in apps drawer and open the newly appeared Framaroot. In that window you have to specify which exploit to use for getting root access. If you don't know it's not a problem, you can try each one until you see the Success message (for me was Barahir). If none of them works, then you have to find a different method to root. After success patching, reboot the phone and then you will see SuperSU.apk in your apps drawer. Now you have root access!
2. Install a Root Explorer.
I prefer ESFileManager, but you can choose what you like. This can be installed free from Playstore, or if you have it downloaded in your PC, use same steps as in Framaroot case, and install it.
Then open the app and let's activate the Root Explorer in it.
But, here you can choose a different view style instead of default big icons - I like Medium Icon view.
Touch on Globe symbol from upper left corner to open Advanced Tools menu, and select Tools (last one). In the list that opens, scroll down until you see Root Explorer entry and touch "OFF" button to activate it. You will be prompted to Grant Superuser access - Grant it! Then, touch on "Root Explorer" text and in the popup window select Read/Write, and in next window select all radios from RW column.
That's it, ESFileManager is now a powerfull Root Explorer.
3. Make a backup.
This means actually make two backups, one for nvram and one for the whole stock ROM. Why to make a backup for nvram? Because it is very easy in MTK phones to mess up with it, and you may loose IMEI, mac address or to have other connectivity issues. This backup will be your insurance.
For this you need MTKDroidTools. Download it from rua1's thread (link in OP) and unzip it in a folder named "MTKDroidTools" on your primary (system) partition - this is important, and in other locations you may experience errors and malfunction.
Connect your phone in usb debugging mode to PC, then start MTKDroidTools as administrator and wait untill you see that MTKDroidTools recognize it and loads its data. The following pictures will show you how to check if you have usb debugging activated, and how MTKDroidTools looks with loaded phone data. In most of the phones, adb gets root access immediately, but in some "branded" ones that has to be achieved by click on the "ROOT" button next to "Adb Terminal" - Notice that if you don't see that ROOT button, that means you have already "root in shell". Also, if you have chainfire's SuperSU you will be prompted in the phone to grant root access to adbd, but if you have koush's Superuser, adbd gets root access by default.
Now, as I said first thing is to do a nvram backup. Click on "IMEI/NVRAM" button and next select both methods (bin and zip folder) and click on "Backup".
After that, it's time to do a stock ROM backup. This is important if you are going to try different custom ROMs and modds. This will assure you that you always have a way to start from the beginning in a clean state. Also makes easy to unbrick your phone if you have the misfortune to brick it.
Click on "root,backup,recovery" tab, and click on "Backup" button, then wait to finish. Be patient, this will take a while, and you can see progress logs in side window. At the end, a popup will prompt you to pack the backup. Now you know it is finished. I don't pack these backups, but you do what you think.
In this stage first thing I do is to generate a scatter file. You have one in that backup made before, or you can get one from stock firmware archive if the phone's manufacturer provide that, but let's see how to do it as it is, to understand the process, or to learn how to get one if we loose it or we are unsure if the one we have is good for our phone (this is important, because using a wrong scatter file it may damage your phone).
So, return to "Phone Informations" tab and click on "Blocks Map" button. A window opens with your phone partition structure. Click on "Create Scatter File" button and save it somewhere in your computer.
Mission complete for backup; you are assured now.
4. Generate a custom recovery.
This is mandatory if you want to use an easy way to backup, restore, flash or wipe ROMs and modds. Fortunately, rua1 has included in his tool all you need to generate one for your phone. This method is successfull for almost every MTK phone, but not for all. There isn't an universal method for anything.
So, enter again in "root, backup, recovery", select the radio "To choose the boot.img file" - by default is selected "Install already prepared files" - and click on "Recovery and Boot" button.
When prompted, select the boot.img from previous backup folder and click Yes to make CWM recovery automatically. First you will be prompted to flash a patched boot.img in your phone - click Yes to get an unsecured boot, then next message will ask you to install the new created recovery in your phone. Click Yes and Yes to reload the phone in recovery mode.
The phone will shut down and reboot in recovery. Now you can see your custom recovery in place.
GOOD TO KNOW: you can't generate a recovery everytime you want to flash one, to use MTKDroidTools for flashing, and the adb method may not work for many MTK phones.
The most known method to flash a new recovery is by using SPFlashTools or MTKFlashTools, and an alternative method is with MobileUncle application from phone, but I will show detailed the FlashTools method. One thing though: if you want to use MobileUncle application, you have to use it from /system/app folder, not from /data/app. Many users say that the MobileUncle doesn't work to flash recovery: it show success, but rebooting to recovery reveal the old one. The reason? They installed MobileUncle from market, and that place the app in /data/app as a user app. In custom ROMs where the app is placed in system by ROM developer, the problem won't manifest. So, if you want to use MobileUncle, make it a system app not user app.
In order to do that, grab a copy of any of these tools from DR_MOOSAVI's thread (link in OP), unzip it in a folder "MTK_Flash_tool" in your primary(system) partition (C in my case), and notice the name have to not contain any spaces or special characters. In that folder create a new folder "Resources" or ROM or whatever name you want, also without spaces or special characters, and place in it your scatter file and recovery img you want to flash. Open Flash_Tool executable as administrator.
IMPORTANT: Your phone is not connected to the PC now. Swtich it off and wait, you will connect it later.
Continue in next post.
In Flash_Tools program window click on load scatter file, navigate to that folder you created and select your scatter. Now you can see your phone's partition structure. If the recovery you want to flash is named "recovery.img" it will be selected automatically, if not you have to click on recovery row in Location column and select your recovery from that folder.
Then click on "Download" button.
Now connect your phone to PC, just like that in power off. Some models enter automatically in download mode and the flashing process begins, but others don't. For some it is necessary to connect them without battery (battery removed), other need to press briefly Power and Vol Down button at same time and release them immediately. That you have to find for your phone from forums, other users, or by trying. When the phone enter in download mode you will see a red bar down in Flash_Tool window, followed by a yellow or other color one (that means the flashing process is taking place).
At the end a popup with a green circle or green checkmark will let you know that the flash was a success. Deconnect the cable and reboot the phone, or reboot it in recovery to see if the wanted recovery is installed. The most common method to boot in recovery from power off is to press Power and Vol UP at same time, and keep them pressed untill you see the logo, then release Power but keep pressing Vol Up untill the recovery UI appears. If Power and Vol Up doesn't work for you, start the phone normaly and connect the phone to PC, then open a command prompt window, and type " adb reboot recovery", then hit Enter during bootanimation. The phone will stop loading and will boot in recovery.

Great guide @carliv.
Just a bit confused, as I usually flash custom recovery first before rooting my MTK phones (same goes for all my android devices). So, maybe, rooting and flashing custom recovery is interchangeable as the first step for MTK phones depending on their availability.

Yeah, well the next step in my guide is "do a stock ROM backup", and if you flash a custom recovery, that will not be a complete stock backup. With my method, any time, after flashing the stock backup, unroot and you will be in stock initial state.
I hope it's more clear now.

Got it. So this is more suited for those who do not have the original firmware for restoring their devices in case something goes wrong which is so like MTK phones. In any case, your guide is spot on. Hope the moderators would give this a sticky, if possible, since MTK phones are scattered all over xda.
How to Port to Device that have recovery-from-boot.p
Hello Everyone, and hello to @carliv,
Thanks to this Tutorial I have Manage to port in on a MT6582 and MT6572 Device with ext4 partition, but I just want to share some tips when porting the latest build of the carliv the tutorial here is complete except for one thing just in case you are ending up on a custom recovery not booting up and when you use the MTK Droid Root and Tools you will see this
-->Connect Device<--
there is a file blah blah - recovery-from-boot.p <----
Now that mess up the things but before we dig into that let me first share on how I got my Carliv Custom Recovery to Bootup
on the Tutorial there is a section that you need to use the MTK Unpacked tool right now once you have done that do all the other things that is written in the tutorial it will guide you on the whole process but on my end even though I followed the tutorial and all are correct I still end up on a Bootloop well I discovered that you need to copy the init file from the RUA1 CWMR that you got from the MTK Droid Root and Tools and overwrite the one on the Carliv Recovery after that once you have finish until on the Overwriting of the Kernel and Kernel header pack your Carliv Recovery using the MTK pack tool and now Flash it on your Device it will now boot :highfive:
BUT WAIT!! yes! it will boot but it will boot on the STOCK RECOVERY and that is because like what I said the recovery-from-boot.p is the culprit of the issue now you need to root your device which is on my end I used framaroot and then download the ES file manager and also follow the instruction of carliv on how to have the full ROOT R/W access and on your device, once your have done that got to this folders and delete this 3 files.
Be sure you have the R/W access or else this files will not be deleted
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/recovery-install.sh
/system/etc/recovery-resources.bin <--- I am not just sure if this is the right filename but it is almost the same will check it once again once I got to stock rom again :fingers-crossed:
and now once you have rebooted your smartphone to recovery mode it will now boot to the Carliv Custom Recovery.
But also take note that if you don't have that 3 files on your device your just good to go and it will boot to Carliv Custom Recovery without any issues.
it's just that 3 files makes the custom recovery always boot to stock recovery even though you do something else
hope this tip helps for some people having issue on a bootloop carliv custom recovery on doing the manual porting
and don't forget to hit the thanks button if this helps :victory:

/system/etc/recovery-resources.bin <--- I am not just sure if this is the right filename but it is almost the same will check it once again once I got to stock rom again :fingers-crossed:

Removing recovery-from-boot.p is enough, I think. Besides, CTR asks if you want to disable recovery-install.sh. That prevents the ROM from flashing stock recovery.

it depends on the unit, I just deleted the recovery-from-boot.p and still it boots up on the stock recovery that's why I needed to trace other files that still makes it boot on stock recovery, but then again not all units will have the same issues as mine
Thanks for your help, it works with my Huawei Honor 3X (mtk6592) !
Thanks Man!
