Those who struggle to get CWM recovery for thier newer devices and who are facing problem on romdump your stock rom to get stock recovery.img here you have 2 simple steps to get your CWM recovery for your new device
Step -1
Creating A Dump\Backup
Note: Root Required
1. Set "Settings" -> "Display" -> "Sleep" -> "10 minutes"
2. Install or update "Busybox" from play store
3. Set your phone to "Airplane" mode
4. Make sure that the card is not less than 2Gb of free space
5. Use any one of the following:
BakupTool_sdcard.zip saves a backup copy on the path: /mnt/sdcard/backup_v2
BakupTool_sdcard2.zip saves a backup copy on the path: /mnt/sdcard2/backup_v2
6. Extract the BakupTool_* to sdcard. Full path to the file should be: / sdcard / gscript
7. Install program: /sdcard /gscript /"GScriptLite.apk"
8. Open the program "GScriptLite". Press "Menu button" -> "Add Script"
9. Set tick "Needs SU"
10. Click "Load file" and select "back_mt657x.sh"
11. Click the button "Save"
12. Tap on a new script, "back_mt657x.sh". After that give the program root permissions if asked and wait for 5- 10 minutes. Do not use the phone during the process.

My device is different. Technically I have cwm recovery already. It's just only accessible through a fast boot command. This allows me to have a nandroid back up already so I just took the recovery.img from a stock back up

I tried this for a Lenovo IdeaTab A2109 to try and build a touch recovery. It already has a unofficial cwm recovery non touch, so I used that as the recovery.img. It put out 2 recovery.img's. One was a recovery.img and the other inputreovery.img. I'm not sure what one I should flash or if I'm supposed to flash both. Would it put out errors if it didn't work?
Thanks for this post and any help you can give.

If it gives error like black screen or volume key unfunction means it is not compiled properly but don't worry your device won't brick and u can revert back ur recovery by placing original.img on the root of phone storage and flash through mobileuncle tool..all the best
Sent from my Aqua flash using xda premium

Three Questions and I'm gonna try this out:
1. If the CWM recovery I build from CWM builder doesn't work, can I flash back the stock recovery by Mobile Uncle Tools, I mean won't it brick the device, can I still boot? I have a MT6577 device.
2. Does the script provided here backups up the stock recovery on Ice Cream Sandwich?
3. What else does this script do? Backup the whole phone?

Okay, Thank you.
I will try and update you on this.
Edit: After flashing recovery, I got blank screen in recovery mode.

thanx mate , really a helpfu guide i have Xtouch x714 with Allwinner A13 chip
before i tried many A13 CWM none of them worked not even boot , they nearly damage my tablet
thank god there is Phoneixcard i was able to revive it .
Anyway , your methode of getting the recovery.img from [gscript] did not work for me , it kept give me errors
even though it shows 100% complete
so i used another method to get my recovery.img , hence my tablet is an Allwinner A13 chip, so
i used [ Rom Dump ] which a small and powerful tool run it in Windows from [ http://www.techknow.me ]
it uses ADB so u have to be rooted and enable developer mode in your device and have ADB drivers in your PC
it backup image of your system and boot.img , recovery.img and data
so i used the extracted recovery.img in the site you provide me and i got my new recovery.img and flash it to my tablet via NovoTools 1.0
and i test it , it works like charm , thanx again mate really helpful

step 2 no working....website down?

Black Screen
When I flashed recovery made through it, it gave me a black screen Is there any way to fix this??

the online one is not working
i tried twice for micromax a84... i got the CWM recovery and flashed it via mobile uncle tools...but it didnt work

?

your build has been queued.The

continue to the build sever
view the current build output
when i hit either option i get "HTTP ERROR 404.
can anyone else see my build id and if so can you download it and link it to me via PM.
or what can i do to get my image

Need stock recovery image: MHA-L29C185

My phone is dead in water.. I have TWRP that complains that the system partition is read only,
I have erecovery that cannot says "getting package info failed" (dies afer "getting package info from server"), and manual downloading of image 138 putting it in dload folder of SDCARD did not go -- it complained that it was not the right version I think..
What can I do now? I thought that I ought to restore the recovery partition, but I can't seem to find it anywhere..
I'm going nuts here
HELP!!
PS: I have been downloading the firmwares from http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=mha , they have two sets: Do I need the OTA or the FULL version to be put into SDCARD's "dload" folder?

You need the FULL version. OTA means "over the air update", and is meant to be applied from a specific version to bring you to a newer version without having to download everything.

well this is a long shot,try to unlock ur BL again.after that try to boot into twrp.and for now only L29C636 n AL00C00 have offline update files that can be flash thru dload folder.
edit-if you need stock recovery actually u can downlaod the full fw of your build and extract update.app using huawei extractor and flash the recovery.img thru twrp or adb

If you can, try firmware finder. For that to work your phone must boot. Or you can go with FunkyHuawei, but that costs money to use.
Both requires stock recovery to install though. And as @eddmecha says, only 2 builds are offline installable.
The system being read only in TWRP is normal as its added as RO in fstab. And if you have dm-verity enabled its no point in installing anything to /system.

Thank you very much; however, there is a problem with the huawei extractor: The extractor works and creates unknown_nn.img files, and there is another script, HuaweiFinder or something that renames them by guessing their contents. I have the "unknown" files, but that renaming script no longer works -- (it dies with FINDSTR errors).
So I can't find the recovery.. perhaps someone could do a "strings recovery.img" and tell me what I suppose to see in there, so I can do the same search amongs my unknown_nn.img files.. Many thanks! -t

I am right now trying to do that -- to fix the recovery to stock, so that eRecovery will let me recover anything!
But can't find it amongst the extracted "unknown_file.nn" files ..

need some root files

hi @ante0
after a week of using oreo,i've downgraded to C185B187.
oreo has some issues like draining battery,weird "undetected root" error after installing busybox in /system/xbin (u have to make a new folder in system first,then install busybox) and over heating even when the phone is in charge and fully charged already...
now i need those root files that u gave me before for b182 !:laugh:
Need a boot image (and can u explain what this image does? )
(also how to make one )
and SuperSU-v2.82-SR5

SuperSU 2.82 SR5 if you decrypt: https://download.chainfire.eu/1220/SuperSU/SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip
SuperSU 2.82 SR5 if you stay encrypted: https://mega.nz/#!ZTBQXZra!JHUocH9oMEApULxfLYm9VO5UPhjHNMGLymkXDY_ihhI
Boot MHA-L29C185B187: https://mega.nz/#!IL4gxCaL!_O0B1rm-eys5Ta8CnD5BfXsyLTGM3RXdtZ09v7kWUk4
Or you could just make a backup of your current boot image using TWRP.
If you want to do it yourself in the future:
Download your current firmware from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/
Extract update.app from downloaded update.zip, download Huawei Update Extractor (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454)
Open update.app in Huawei Update Extractor, rightclick on what you want to extract and select "Extract Selected".
This image can only be flashed using fastboot (at least when I extract it). You can unpack and repack using Android Image Kitchen to make a TWRP flashable image.
What boot is... It's the ramdisk and kernel.

It's just stock boot. SuperSU works fine with it when you're on B182+.
It's only useful if you want to flash back stock boot, to maybe switch to Magisk or if SuperSU doesn't want to update.
I did modify the SuperSU "for_encrypted", I just changed "KEEPENCRYPTED=false" to "true". It just tells the installer to not remove the encryption tag so it stays encrypted.
Edit: one reason to modify boot is to "pre-root", but it's not needed for Mate 9. Another is to remove encryption or verity manually.

[Solved] Elephone P8 Max Root

Hello, this is my first post
Don't let me waste time...
Requirements
1.Stock boot.img for your phone model (its best its for your Build Number / Variant ) . You can extract from the stock rom / firmware of your device OR backup from your device using a box e.g Miracle box, CM2, etc
2.Download Latest Magisk Manager
Steps on how to root an Elephone P8 Max using Magisk Manager and patched boot.img
Step 1: Patching the stock boot.img
1.Install MagiskManager apk on your android device
2.Copy the stock boot.img of your device to your phone's internal storage or SD card
3.Launch Magisk Manager app
4.If prompted to install Magisk, select NO THANKS
5.If you are using a samsung device and wish to flash using Odin, then select Options > Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format > img.tar )
6.Select Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File >
7.Navigate to the location of the stock boot.img you copied earlier on, then Select it
8.Magisk Manager should begin downloading the magisk zip file used for patching
9.Once download is complete, MagiskManager will automatically patch the boot file and store it under SDcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Step 2: Flashing the patched boot.img
You have a variety of options to flash the patched boot.img depending on you
1.Sp Flashtool
2.Fastboot
3.Miracle Box
1. For Sp Flashtool copy the patched boot.img with mt6755 scatter file and make sure to rename patched boot.img to boot.img before flashing
2.For fastboot copy the patched boot.img to your fastboot folder and press shift right click on a free space in the fastboot folder, you would see open command here. Click on it and boot your Elephone P8 Max to fastboot with power+volume up and use volume down to select fastboot and connect your Elephone P8 Max. Your PC type fastboot devices to check if the system as seen it. Now type fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
You are done.
3.For miracle box rename the file from .img to .bin before flash.
In case you lazy..:laugh:
I have the patched_boot.img here

Because you flash boot.img as recovery
That why your phone is getting that fault
You are suppose to flash boot
Fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img OK
Or use sp flashtool or miracle box
I included the scatter file

I have the twrp but it doesn't touch only if you use otg with Mouse

Alternative scatter file for MT6750
Hi lmkratos,
thank you very much!
This worked like a charm but I had to use a different scatter file (attached here) as the P8 Max has a MT6750 (not MT6755) and the PMT didn't match so spflash refused to flash boot ("PMT changed for the ROM").
If you happen to be on Linux: spflash works perfectly but take care to stop ModemManager (WAN modems) before flashing as it interferes, so
"service ModemManager stop".

Oneplus 6 bricked or what?

I sucessfully unlocked bootloader, rooted and installed twrp. I was using my phone today and i try to boot to twrp to flash RenovateIce rom and my twrp shows some strange symbols all folders... also on my computer is the same... When i tried to boot to system it just boot up to twrp again.. I cant boot it to my system.. Help please ...
here is screenshot from my pc:

First, you must ask on the Q&A section.
Second your files appears like that because they are crypted ( the password on your phone is used to decrypt it), and as i know (i may be wrong but yes you lost your data) but you need to delete your internal storage now for it to be able to use it like it should, so in twrp delete your internal storage, install your rom via adb sideload, boot and set up your phone and reflash twrp ( via the cmd and then via the zip)

Did you install renovate? You could try to use an otg drive to remove renovate if that is messing your system. They probably have a rescue zip on their forum. You could also try to flash bluspark twrp if that could help you get into your data. Hope you get your data back, otherwise the full format should revive your phone. Read up before (if)you try my suggestions.

hi ,i have fff*cked my op6 many times and i faced this , now go to bootloader and flash twrp from pc cmd or terminal again , boot twrp now u can enter password , good for now u can install sys again or copy your files to another sd card or pc or u can delete data and install system again or just install u can try and learn from your mistake
sorry bad english

Everythings works okay now. I just repeated installing recovery and rooting proccess..
Thank you guys !
