I've been searching around XDA and other forums for a while and have been unable to find a solution
TLDR; I am unable to flash a custom recovery with MTK droid tools, SP flash tool, Flashify, Fastboot, Rashr, CWM magic, TWRP magic, CWM app, TWRP app and now i no longer have a recovery on my phone, not even the stock
Phone: Huawei Y360-U23
Android: Kitkat 4.4.2
Kernel: 3.4.67
So here goes, I wanted to flash cwm recovery as i have with my previous android phones, however it is unsupported on the CWM list, I also tried TWRP, my device is also unsupported.
-I did some reading around and found some guides on how to use MTK droid tools to back up and then SP flash tool to change my recovery
- I encountered errors but was able to fix most EXCEPT, Zero error, no space left on device , tried the recommended busybox fix and ensured all drivers were properly installed but did not help
- Fastboot gives me the error "remote partition 'recovery' not support flash"
- SP flash tool wouldnt do anything after i pressed the download button
- TWRP magic tool flashed my recovery mod but could not back up, but failed
- CWM magic tool flashed my recovery mod but when a backup was attempted this error was received " could not open /tmp recovery.log"
- Flashify and Rashr both failed to flash recovery
I tried to flash my recovery with the TWRP magic tool a final time but now my phone won't boot into recovery at all.
Please offer any help you can, it would be greatly appreciated

Hi guys.....i have tried to install a cwm recovery on this phone for quite a while....the devices having no official cwm.....i made it with mtkdroid tools....but it would end with an error saying failed to write to block device....so i tried to flash the cwm via sp flashtool....again it failed saying error img dl sign-header not found....i guess that meant that the recovery was not signed hence it cant be flashed...i tried to dd the img via terminal emulator and the process would be a success only to find that the phone cant boot neither enter recovery mode......the latter is already fixded...but the cwm still is not my recovery....plz help me in doing this.... The phone has a MT6572 SOC chip....and its not mtd........and the recovery partition is squeezed in a mmcblk0 partition which has alot of stuff going on....
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist if cwm is for your device specific then contact developer of that cwm who released .. if you are trying to install CWM from other device then do not do so you will end up bricking your device to unrecoverable state ..
Good Luck!
Installing Clockworkmod Recovery on your Alcatel Onetouch Flash 6042D means that you will be able to flash new custom ROMs on it. Without custom recovery you cannot flash new ROMs. Also, it should be installed on rooted devices. Clockworkmod Recovery can also be used to backup your entire ROM.
WARNING: Installing a recovery may brick your phone...Don't Blame Me.. Do at your Own Risk...
Note:- Alcatel OneTouch Flash Recovery Uses a secured boot.img,so a custom recovery will cause boot loop..Please Download and Flash The unsecured boot.img from below link. And flash it with recovery..
You need:
1. A Windows PC
2. CWM recovery (Download)
3. Unsecured Boot.img (Download)
4. SP Flash tools (Download)
5. Driver (Download)
6. Scatter file (Download)
7.Alcatel Onetouch Flash 6042D
Follow these steps to flash custom recovery using sp flash tools:
Step 1: Extract/unzip all downloaded files.
Step 2: Open SP flash tool and load scatter file.
Step 3: Unselect all blocks and select only RECOVERY and BOOT.
Step 4: Click the location column of RECOVERY and BOOT and select downloaded
recovery and boot.
Step 5: Press and Volume Down + Power to Enter in CWM Recovery Mode.
If you face any problem contact me at facebook.....:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH...
I have tried all the recovery on the net but they all get boot loop..
And they can't format data and factory reset...
Now it a humble request to port rom for this devices....

Thanks for your review...
i am currently working on AICP ROM 5.1.1..
I will upload it within 2 days...
Be Tuned....:highfive: :highfive: :highfive:
Okkk
I am waiting for it...
connecting in sp flash & mtk droid tools.
hai there
I have a peculiar problem here. I am not a programmer or some thing like that. But an avid fan of android.
I am not able to get my rooted 6042d detected in SP FT & MTK droid tools to take a back up. My system is Win.XP [SP3]. I even formatted the system twice to remove left overs. Even, I am clue less how to get it done. I installed the drivers provided by you. I think my ignorance of windows is the main hurdle here. Can you please guide me - how to? Sorry for the bother.
I wish to flash the secure CWM made by you and the LP style rom followed by it.
1. spft says 'the application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect....reinstall..'
2.mtk droid tools says 'the device is not revealed.. connect or reconnect...' - on the right side -' in system already available android debug bridge 1.0.26'
thanks
PS: I know how to use both the tools, I did it with my previous device, also of MTK-zte.
Solution of your problem....

I recomend u to go to this link to solve your Spft problem...
and i think u must download your stock rom instead of making backup...
after this problem solved try to flash unsecured boot.img first..
then u can try flashing My CWM recovery or Philz Recovery
(philz recovery can be found here...)
and got to this link
you can understand what is your problem connecting in mtk driod tool...
I think u must flash it.. because its the problem of your phone...
and if u face any problem contact me or for instant help just take the help of Google BABA!!!...
thanks for the swift reply.
SPFT problem solved as you suggested. But the problem with DT persists.
I do not have the stock rom of onetouch flash 6042d. [ my device is wrongly showing idol3!]
I want to have a SPFT back up in Droid Tools to be on safe side with imie etc. [being able to run Droid tools.]
I highly appreciate what ever the hints/advice I need in this regard, if extended.
When your LP themed rom for our device will be out?

Hi there guys @ xda.
I need help with my mtk6572 phone which i bricked in a noob way.
I need help flashing it with SP Flash Tool which gives an error as described in title.
Here is how i bricked it.
Today i decided that i want to flash a custom recovery on my phone, so i did and it worked.
I experienced a bug on the recovery and decided i wanted to put the stoc recovery back.
I flashed it back and the recovery booted fine, wiped chache and did factory reset.
After i did that my phone got stuck on boot animation.
I then decided that it was a good idea to flash to complete stock rom back to my phone,
but chose the forma all + download option, so that the changes the custom recovery made
were deleted. Well, so i thought...
Right after the format i got an error that said that my firmware is not for my phone and failed.
Now if i try to format or download the stock rom (which i backed up from my device before flashing)
i get the error code in the title.
I tried uninstalling all the mtk drivers from my pc. When i connect my device it is picked up in device manager
as "unknown device", i then updated the drivers with mediatek preloader driver (and tried all the mtk drivers out there)
but the flash tool still gives the same error.
After i press the download button, and connect my phone, the bar at the bottom goes to 100%(red colour) then stays like that for 41 seconds.
Then it gives the error code and fails to flash.
I tried everything, from removing the battery, pressing vol+, vol-, power and all the combos in between, nothing.
If someone could help me unbrick my phone, i would be very greatfull.
P.S I have the stock rom backed up from my device and prepared with mtk droid tools for flash tool.

Hello and welcome to Assist
The procedure to install TWRP for your device is same as CWM so follow the instructions posted here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...covery-clockworkmod-recovery-6-0-5-1-t2885736
If you have further questions or want to post in the main forums you'll need to register an account first
Good luck
Good Morning everyone,
I followe all tutorial from youtube to XDA, also this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/umidigi-g-root-gpu-cpu-booster-gaming-t3749862
But it not working,
The problem is that with last ROM 1.8 the falshing of TWRP is impossible, adb and fastboot will write, but not defintively.
I tryed to flash TWRP, unloking the oem, and boot recovery.img via fastboot, TWRP will run, but not write for real.
The point is that all tutorial start from having a custom recovery, but this device not allow to install nobody.
Some one saying that using the 1.6 firmware rom, is the only solution to have root, but this rom flashed from SP Flash tool, briked the phone.
My request is if someone for real rooted and installed TWRP in this device, if please can share a real working tutorial, based from adevice where is impossible flash a custom Recovery without root.
So need start form unrooted device.
Also tuturial mentioned in top, start from install magisk, with a custom recovey.
If someone having one line to bypass chinese MTK recovery, please share.
The device is a MTK6737, the roms available are here:
http://community.umidigi.com/thread-11437-1-1.html (this is the declared available for root, but form me brik the phone by sp flash tool)
I lost 3 days to try all, nothing worked at the end.
