I was already using CWM on kitkat until I officially updated my Micronax Unite 2 A106 (MT6582) to lollipop. But when I tried to use the same recovery made for kitkat in lollipop, it did not work. Why does that happen? Does that mean I can't use recovery made for kitkat in lollipop?
According to xda wiki "The recovery is completely independent of the Android system". Does it mean that, No matter which version of Android I have, the recovery of any version should work. If recovery is independent of android then why does that recovery not working. I am confused

I am perplexed:
I had previously installed many custom roms after updating to stock kitkat, including CM 11. However, I am not able instally cyanogenmod, AT ALL. I have gone through all the steps and all the recoveries, CWM & TWRP all versions. After the installation, the phone hangs on the boot logo, always.
Any clue would be appreciated. Thank you.
U sure u flashed/fastbooted the recommended kernel correctly and did a full wipe before installing the Rom?

I highly doubt you installed CM11 with the KitKat kernel installed. It won't work. The only way it would work is to FXZ back to JB and then install the previous version of CWM or TWRP.
Currently, there are no ROMs working with the KitKat versions of CM11 or TWRP, although dhacker is working on a new CM11 using the latest KK kernel for the RAZR HD phones and the developer for the Nexesque ROM is also working on an updated version that uses the KitKat kernel as well.

It was very strange situation. I ended up getting CM to work by using CWM 6.0.4.4. FMI (for my information), I need to use CWM 6.0.4.4 will be needed to install custom roms.
Thanks for the advice..
Hi Buddy!
Greetings from a new guy here
Just basic question, few days back I'm trying to Install Slimkat ROM, I've done few steps below :
- Wipe data factory reset
- Wipe chache
- Wipe dalvik
- Format system
- Flash zip from Internal SD Card
But I'm getting status error 7 on installation proccess
I'm trying to Install another ROM (CM 10.3 Official & CM 12 Unofficial) its working just fine
Why I couldn't install Slimkat on my device?
Because you are using an out dated recovery, you need at least cwm 6.0.4.4 because KitKat requires selinux support and older recovery doesn't support it, get it from general section of tab 2 and flash it using existing recovery
Hope it works

Thanks! Its working now
But just wondering, I previously using CWM 6.0.2.8 but I can even install CWM 12 which lolipop based
Why it doesnt work on slimkat which based on kitkat? Kitkat is even lower than lolipop

If you read what I typed carefully, KitKat uses selinux, lollipop doesn't,
So you can use any recovery made for your device to flash a lollipop based ROM,
But anyways people are getting trim bug that causes infinite Boot loop without any reason, that's why our supper hero Andi protects us with patches that prevent those things.
I really need a recovery on my micromax unite 2 running on lollipop. Its already been rooted using kingroot and i need to know a method to install a recovery onto my device. Ive seen many posts already that use sp flash tools, but either those methods pertain to only kitkat or jellybean OS or they dont even work at all.
Hello, I currently have on my XT925 with Stock KitKat TWRP 2.8.5.0. installed. Is there something more current or that has been the last version? Namely, since no working USB-OtG.
Hello,
I am a beginner at android development.
I have a Lenovo tab 2 a7 10f which was, actually given by my coaching institute with a KitKat rom installed in it which, i guess was with system app of them.Whenever anyone would open it, it would turn on with a screen if the app only.With my current knowledge, system app can only be deleted by flashing a new rom or by rooting the rom(what could i do by roiting if it turns on to that app only!). Now,I wanted to flash a firmware of KitKat, either by recovery or by SPF tools.
1. I tried recovery and then rom method, after installing adb and fastboot drivers and Lenovo usb and that 15 second driver, adb devices didn't show up(It showed up on any other device )
2.I tried Spf tools method ; it also didnt work
To my curiosity:angel:, in the stock recovery, it showed the option of flashing an update through adb sideload.
I tried and it showed up like
Xxxxxxxxxx.... sideload
I read the xda forums and found that to install a custom or stock lollipop rom a minimal mod has to be made using SPF tools.
NOW
what i need is KitKat recovery flashable stock or custom rom because there are lollipop ROMs everywhere.If it is already available, please send me link or if any guy has a KitKat rom and knows how to make a flashable zip of it, please upload.
This thread will be useful for many people having the same problem.

Spartan the boy
even i got this same tablet from a coaching institute their name is professional academy for cpt
