Hi all.
I'm not able to create an image file for LiveSuit to flash an A10 Allwinner based tablet.
have been following tons of tutorials but Linux to me is something too hard
http://www.allmost.org/2012/11/how-to-allwinner-image-building-or.html
I already have dumped the firmware images with Uberizer software but I need to create this IMG file for LiveSuit, ,PhoenixSuit or PhoenixCard programs
it's very simple to flash Rockchip based tablets with RK Android Tool but this process doesn't work on Allwinner based tablets unfortunately.
the question is: could someone here make a LiveSuit image for me ?
I just have to upload the dumped files: boot, bootloader, data, recovery, system...
thanks :good:

Asking someone to build a recovery for you is waste of time you better port a recovery for your device for this watch this tutorial on how to port recovery( no PC method) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uBS-uJ8rJUg if you have a PC then watch this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g4LAiJ0r1dE
For no PC method you need to flash this zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3725442&d=1461180809 on your phone for this you must be rooted you can flash zip using any of this apps Flashify,Flashfire,Rashr(you can find this apps at play store)or any other liketool.If this doesn't work for you there is another method using apktool google it you'll find.
Note:Before proceeding you have to google what is porting.To port a recovery you need a working recovery of another device which has same CPU that your device is having.There many tutorials out there on XDA and youtube go through those tutorials.Happy porting
I forgot to tell that the zip can be flashed if you have custom recovery.Since you do not have you to extract that zip,copy AIK-mobile folder from zip and place it here /data/local/ after placing AIK-MOBILE folder you have to copy files which are suitable to your processor in "bin" folder of zip and place it here /data/local/AIK-MOBILE/bin/ to do this use any root explorer.

YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if

A lot.[/CENTER]
All suggestions and helps are welcome here so please help me in improving this thread by suggesting your ideas.
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.

Sir finally the process is to pack
⇛split_img of stock recovery ......

Some doubt are ... from where the recoveries are taken sir?
another one is can i port a custom recovery made for similar device to my device by using these steps?
Thanks for supporting spreadtrum devices....

Kindly go through the entire post carefully, I believe I provided sufficient info that even a newbie can port.

Sir I read entire post...
But there is no line that states to delete ramdisk of stock recovery....
Check and add that line sir....
Also process of installing AIK for Mobile changed...
We directly install and use the AIK as all other apps on playstore
