Custom recovery / CyanogenMod for Teclast P78HD?

Hello, I have a Teclast P78HD. Flashed the new firmware v2.03 using PhoenixSuit, and rooted with KINGO Root. But I can't do anything in the recovery, I tried flashing TWRP or CyanogenMod (http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/978...inner-a31-by-christiantroy-update-2014-04-19/). The flash process seems fine, but I can't see any changes in the OS and the recovery is still the same.
Is there a custom recovery that could help me flash custom ROMs?

[Q] Custom Recovery vs. Rooting

Hi! Noob here, just wanna ask some questions.
Is rooting different with flashing a custom recovery, or do when we root we automatically installs custom recovery to our device?
And if I am rooting my phone using Framaroot, does it install a custom recovery to my device? Thanks

UPDATE: Have been figured this out. So, Rooting doesnt mean installing a custom recovery.

[Q] Root and custom recovery question

Hello? I was recently s-off, unlocked and using Adrenaline sense 6 lollipop rom.
Yesterday, I went back to stock 4.4.4 using the ruu file. I still have the s-off and unlocked.
Now my questions are..
1. Can I install custom recovery first then root by using supersu.zip file?
2. Or do I need to root first by weaksauce or something then get custom recovery?
You can go straight to installing a custom recovery. From there you can either flash the su binaries to achieve pure stock rooted rom or you could flash any one of the custom roms available which are pre-rooted.

No, you can't flash any zips without custom recovery or root.
You'll have to build a recovery for your device based on the series of MTK CPU you have.
There are guides all over the internet for building or porting recovery for MTK devices.

[D2212] How to gain root access on stock ROM

I wish to gain root access on my phone (Sony D2212), but I do not wish to flash a custom ROM like Nitrogen or CM11 because I like the appearance of the stock ROM better. However I have a custom recovery ROM (TWRP) installed.
Can this be done? It it possible to gain root access within the stock ROM?
