This is a modified full touch version of CWM Recovery 6.0.5.1 from cm-11.0 branch. Use it with CM-11.0 building environment. My main goal was to bring up a light but features rich recovery with touch support. All the other existent touch recoveries (TWRP, PhilZ, Miui) are just too big for the very small recovery partition that we find in most of MTK phones.
It includes more features than original clockworkmod recovery, and despite the fact that was first made for MTK powered phones, it can be used for other phones as well.

Thanks Alberto, i managed to build a TWRP and a CTR recovery for U300.
Unfortunately TWRP have no working touch because of a kernel issue, but you can use OTG mouse to work on this... Later i will try with latest 3.03 rom and share with community. Regards

P.S after flashing, enter immediately in CTR/TWRP at boot using POWER and VOL + keys at the same time until Logo; it will appear a text menu with 3 options, choose Recovery (first row) with vol- and wait the loading of Custom Recovery.
Please NOTE that CTR recovery could access internal memory that is named ExtraSD (so in install menu, choose zip from ExtraSD).

System.IMG Repack
In order to customized my UHANS U300, I already unpack and repack my System.IMG with various software, tools, script, Cygwin, android kitchen, Assayed Kitchen and also through Linux Mint and Lubuntu... but my phone stuck during boot. (Only display boot image from logo.bin). I believe my repack System.IMG's size was correct but the phone still stuck, and checksum failed. (I disable checksum by change switch from "1" to "0".
Can anybody help me, how to get rid of these?
Thanks in advance guys.
I bought it off ebay cheap (for £35) even though it's almost £200 on gearbest etc. I don't think people would want to clone this phone but wondered how it could be that cheap. My kernel version: 3.18.22 is this the latest update for the phone? I did a factory reset since when I got it it was already set up (even though sold as new) I could see an after-image of the Chinese seller so wanted to be safe rather than sorry. Hope someone can help in getting the most out of this phone/remove bloatware etc and how to check everything's ok?
Also any way to upgrade Android?

I bought this phone because I needed a new phone desperately. I am used to using lineageOS on all my phones before so having it would be amazing, especially since I hate having Google spying on my phone
