Hi guys, I bought the above phone off Amazon. I found out this very strange device also had a root-enabled kernel out of the box, but my question is about recovery. I want to install CWM as a first choice, if not that, TWRP, but a Google search only tuns up loose references to MTK6589 which is presumably the SoC, but nothing for my specific model. Currently when I reboot to recovery with any root app it shows 'no command' (maybe there is no recovery installed to the recovery partition?) and when entering bootloader mode the device displays what is seen in the attached photo.
I would appreciate any help on getting a working recovery set up on this device.
Thanks!

Hi, I also have one of these phones and have been looking at recovery options with little success.
However I have found a set of instructions in the XDA University about porting CWM. (unfortunalty I can't post a link due to being a Noob, but if you Google 'porting cwm' it should be the top result).
I am going to be attempting to do this once I have got my PC set up dual boot for Linux.
Will post back with news on how it's going. Would appreciate any progress you have made about a recovery option.
Regards
Mad.
first, make a backup of your device using mtk droid tools.
if phone isn`t rooted yet, use this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332783
for the recovery, you need to unpack your recovery.img, take the kernel zImage and put it in the cwm-recovery. for mt6589 phones, this one should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357875
you can unpack/repack your boot.img with this tools:

after obtaining new recovery.img, flash it through SP flash tool or mobileuncle tools.
Recovery Quirk
Chrizzly, thanks for the pointers, will be checking out the tools tonight.
Found a quirk though, may just be my phone.
I booted into recovery last night and as expected the "no commands" came up, but then I took the back off the phone and a recovery menu appeared. Had options in there like reboot, delete cache, delete delvik cache....
I'm assuming this is the stock recovery.
I tested it again this morning and booting into recovery and then taking the back off the phone made the menu appear!!
Any one else care to test and see if it's a stock thing or just a quirk of my phone.
replied before, my post disappeared.. this isn`t related to your device , this is recovery-typical. it is showing the android first, without a menu. you need to press hardware buttons, to get into the menu( this is device-specific, you need to try that, also buttons on the touch screen, if there are some) this will usually bring you in recovery MENU. think you accidently pressed one of these buttons while opening the device.

Re: Stock recovery. Thought it was a button press that got me in first time but I tried it several times and no button worked just pulling the back off. Little puzzled about that but it's something I can live with!!

Re: Files. Thanks for the files, going to try them out as soon as I can!!
Done
I have got CWM working on my i9389 now, there was a few quirks in getting it going.
The method I used was as posted in the MTK Droid Root & Tools thread by rua1.
TIPS
Leave the battery out when doing read back or flash in Flash Tools.
Not mentioned in the instruction is the MTK vcom drivers which you will need and can be found in the Root tutorial posted by Chrizzly a bit further up.
Make sure you read the instructions by rua1 closely and use the images posted as it's not always straight forward.
Last tip pay attention to where MTK tools puts the files it creates, had me stumped for a bit!! I've never been very good at following instructions!!

I managed to boot loop mine while messing with a ROM I made (it's not finished yet) but managed to recover by re-flashing using the Flash Tools a back up I had taken just after installing CWM.
Do you have a back up you can flash?
I have just checked mine and even zipped it's still 800MB so I can't email it to you...
...sure if I looked about I could find somewhere to upload it to for you. PM me if you need this!!
The sd holder broke off, can i buy this http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...w?ie=UTF8&condition=new&qid=1379198350&sr=8-1 the galaxy s3 i9300 sd card slot holder and put it on my haipai i9389? or do i need specific haipai i9389 sd card slot holder.

Hello, this is herna from XDA Assist.
I´m sorry for what you faced with your device, but this is the main problem about buying and using clone devices. I can´t help with that since there a ton of clones and most of clones use to be very poor devices.
My suggestion is you to try to reach whoever sent you the device or the company which created it, or try to search on Google for someone who also has the device.
As a personal suggestion, if you are out of money, next time you buy a device, and wanna custom it and play with it like you tried with your device, try to reach some Motorola or "most famous" device, where you will have a bigger development under it, and you will have solutions for almost all the troubles.
I wish you get back your device on working, and also wish you to spend a nice weekend.
dear friend

hello strix666 unfortunately your problem may not be fixed for some causes :
1. your phone is a low quality phone (sorry for saying that)
2.before huawei created the phone some documents leaked and many companies created clones with much lower quality
3. this is a common problem with this model of huawei phone so don't be surprised if it has gone BRICKED without anything
and i wanted to know what were you doing with the phone (with details) before that happens and did you try to had reset it?

dear strix666
i'm very sorry but the (recovery_TWRP_2.6.3.0) is a recovery used for lenovo phones specially lenovo p780 and as the most common results there are 3 things that happen :-
1. the phone gets bricked possibility : %70 (your current phone situation)
2. the phone gets stuck in a boot loop possibility : %22 ( thats what happened to your phone at the first flash )
3. the phone stays safe and nothing happens possibility : %8 ( impossible )
and so after you tried to fix it by flashing it 2 times again it is commonly bricked which can't be fixed easily and the only way to fix it is by using apps similar to odin.
but before that i need to need know some other details :-
1. does it charge or show the charging icon?
2. try to hold the volume down and power key for about 15 seconds anything happened?
3. connect it to your pc and go to | start menu > devices and printer > right click your device > troubleshoot
and if it doesn't appear please tell me.
by the way my name is paywand and sulaimaniyah is my city

Hello
I have an android device brand imobile model iq 6.6 when i purchased it and used it for about an hour it started misbehaving by opening apps automatically like browser, wifi,data. i tried to root this device to remove such annoying built in apps and after removing two to three apps i was using fb and device suddenly switched off i tried to turn on but it couldn't turn on it stucks on boot logo and restarts again and again.
I downloaded official rom both in sd update and through cable but i m not succeeded to install. When i try to install through sd card update it starts installation but after some times it gives som error and installation is aborted.
I also tried to install through smart phone upgrade tool but no success when i press volume up and down buttons and connect it to pc it restarts again and again so the process couldn't be started. I also tried sp flash tool but there is no scatter file inside downloaded rom so that process is also fail and thus im not able to recover my phone please help me.
Thanks developers.
