This is my recovery, for ZTE V967S.
DISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROMS have risks and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.

The touch module is inspired mostly by scanno touch recovery for Advent Vega and cleaned up and modernized with some stuff from Cannibal Open Touch Recovery. The full touch module is developed by Napstar from UtterChaos Team - Napstar touch recovery, adapted, modified and improved in some parts by me.A big THANKS to Napstar for his full touch source.
FEATURES
To be able to use Aroma File Manager, for which you can find an entry under Carliv menu in recovery, you need to go to amarullz thread and download the version 1.80 of aromafm.zip, because as BOND has discovered this version will be full touch. Rename it to aromafm.zip, make a folder named ".aromafm" (notice the dot before aroma) in clockworkmod folder on sdcard, and copy aromafm.zip in .aromafm folder. Now you can browse your phone without rebooting to Android or connecting the phone to computer.
For porting, unfortunately there are same limitations as in COT recovery - your phone resolution.
The most important thing is that you will use from now on the same folder as previous CWM Recoveries, same backups, same settings. Is very good and stable recovery.

Carliv Touch recovery v1.5 - only navigation touch menu
The new version 1.5 can be downloade from OP.
Basically is CWM 6+ with touch buttons menu. It has all functionality of CWM Recovery, and I added extra, Aroma File Manager support.
The touch module is inspired mostly by scanno touch recovery for Advent Vega, but also Napstar touch recovery, and cleaned up and modernized with some stuff from Cannibal Open Touch Recovery.
This is not a modified COT recovery. You won't find here settings or theme or some other cool stuff they created for COT recovery. For that go to COT Recovery thread. I made this recovery to keep it simple and slim, because MTK phones have a limited size recovery partition. As I said, is a CWM modded recovery with touch screen menu buttons. Also I kept the Go Back entry in menu, just in case if for some devices is not working the touch menu (brocken or something) - in that case it will be just a good CWM recovery.
Video will be added soon.

Good Job, I will try this asap...
Why don't you try to make TWRP recovery to this phone...?
I think TWRP has a better UI than CWM

The MTK6589 Phones have a recovery with size of 6.2 Mb, and if we took down reserved space from it, it will remain a recovery with 6080-6090 Kb in absolute size. Anything bigger than that won't boot. I know there are some guides on how to increase recovery size modifying scatter file, but that didn't work in my phone (I guess because this phone doesn't have a stock ROM in SPFlashTool format). And also rua1 said that modifying only scatter won't be enough.
So, why make my life complicated when I can simplify it
Nice work!
I'm now running your ported COT on my FAEA F2 and I like it a lot!
I'll be waiting for you to port this one for 1080x1920 resolution so I can try it as well!
can you share your aroma file manager 1.91?.. also i will be waiting for your hd version of this recovery.

Ok, thank you very much for the explanation, I have no experience in it, but I can understand.
So, I think Carliv Touch Recovery is the only choice if I want to use Touch version of recovery...
Will test & create video to show others how this Touch Recovery works on Blu Life Play or other MTK Devices.

Sure, but you need to port it first for phone resolution. And the "key test" doesn't work because I remaped keys for touch panel - I should correct that in next release. Or, of course, you can build it from source and repack it after to work in mtk devices.
Thanks!

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

CHANGELOG for 2.7.0.0:
-Faster graphics rendering by disabling alpha blending on fully opaque objects thanks to Tassadar
-Allow sideloading from /tmp on encrypted devices
-Check for a crypto footer before asking for a password to prevent user confusion
-Additional checks for validity to auto generated backup names
-Text wrap in the console output
-Proper caps lock support in the keyboard
-Mouse support via USB OTG for devices with a broken digitizer
-Improve scanning of storage locations for OpenRecoveryScript
-Haptic feedback for buttons, keyboard, and vibration at the end of longer running actions thanks to Samer Diab
-Fixed ext4 wiping when no selinux contexts are defined for that partition (e.g. sd-ext)
-Update SuperSU to 1.93 and improve installation process
-Added selinux contexts restoration to fix permissions
-Load RTC offset on Qualcomm devices to fix the date/time in recovery
-USB Mass Storage fixes Add SELinux support checking
-Add Disk Usage class to better handle excluded folders (e.g. Google Music cache)
-Add 4.4 decrypt support
-Add some toolbox utilities to TWRP (namely to support SELinux functions not supported in busybox)
-Various SELinux fixes and bug fixes
Note: 2.7 marks the first time that we are dropping support for older devices. We are doing this because of the SELinux support needed to install 4.4 Kit Kat ROMs. The non-TWRP parts of the recovery image have to be built in at least a 4.1 tree and the kernel that is included in the recovery image has to support writing SELinux contexts. We don't own most of the devices that we support so we depend on outside testers and developers to help us update devices. In many cases we can't find someone readily. Come to #twrp on Freenode if you want to help bring your device up to date. You can tell right away if your device will support 4.4 ROMs in 2.7. Boot TWRP and press the console button (the square-ish button either in the bottom middle or upper right) to view the console output. If it doesn't say "Full SELinux support" in the console, then your device still needs some work. Help us help you.
CHANGELOG for 2.6.3.0:
-Proper backup and restore of SELinux contexts (thanks to Tassadar)
-Pull in some ROM information for backup name generation
-Merge all recent patches from AOSP bringing TWRP up to date with Android 4.3
-Add 1200x1920 theme (thanks to Tassadar)
-A few other fixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.6.1.0:
-Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesn't have it and needs it)
-Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)
-Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs
-Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup
-Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match
-Fixed decryption of encrypted data so that both TouchWiz and AOSP decryption are possible
-Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations
-Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks

Man this recovery almost screw up my phone. for no reason from a certain point the restored backups doesn't boot anymore, stuck at Samsung logo, tried making other backups, reflash twrp, first cwm then twrp but nothing.
The only one working was AN old backup of a week ago, restored that.

I just installed sucefully, but when boot in recovery mode, just hang up.... therefore, the phone boot normally... well, I also lost the root
Not booting in TWRP. Getting restarted every time I am trying to boot with VolUP+Power+Home. If I hold the keys it keeps rebooting, and if I release it boots to system.
If I execute the command from terminal
Code:
adb reboot recovery
it boots into Samsung stock recovery.
Also showing a yellow symbol (!) while booting.
Should I flash it to stock recovery image?
Or is there any other way out to update the recovery to TWRP?
Solved
Thanks to KlinkOnE and m4jonez.
First I installed (ROOT) Rashr - Flash Tool from Play Store as suggested in the post.
Then downloaded Recovery - TWRP 2.8.0.1 and Recovery - TWRP 3.0.2 as mentioned here .
Placed both of the .zip files in the internal memory.
Now I open Rashr and flashed the recovery selecting the .zip file of TWRP 2.8.0.1 (My phone is rooted, so Rashr was able to flash it). Then rebooted to TWRP. But, failed. Removed the battery and insert it again. Now with Vol + Home + Power key, booted the phone in TWRP. From TWRP installed the TWRP 3.0.2. Rebooted to TWRP. It works fine now.

I don't think this TWRP is for those two models - Core Prime and Grand Neo. Please download TWRP for your phone.
For GT-I9060 follow the thread [RECOVERY][GT-I9060] TWRP 2.8.0.1 touch recovery [UNOFFICIAL] and you can download the TWRP recovery for I9060 from here -Mod edit link removed ppc
For SM-360H follow the thread [Recovery] Official TWRP SM-G360H.
Please don't use king root for rooting. If you have used, replace it with SuperSU. Super-Sume Pro is the app that replaces KingRoot by SuperSu.
This is a Clockworkmod modified (very) recovery.

Update (21-apr-2015):
This is the last batch of builds for porting. I won't do that anymore.
- new GUI theme;
- an extra version with swipe touch support;
- cleaned up the source code;
- reset battery stats option;
- wipe all - preflash option;
- removed nvram backup/restore because it can corrupt the bootloader;
-full track of changes here.
I used it as base for my touch recovery. Basically is a CWM 6.0.3.7 for jellybean and CWM 6.0.5.1 for kitkat modified by me with many extra features.
- aroma file manager menu
- rainbow mode menu
- separate power menu
- separate wipe menu
- nvram backup/restore menu
- advanced backup/restore menu
- toggle signature, toggle md5sum.
To port it follow my new guide from here
All screenshots are made with my new tool from here.
For jellybean version currently there are two lunfile paths in the world of mtk phones. This will make your USB Mass storage to work in recovery or not. Search that path in your device to see what you have.
Lunfile path 1 (old): "/sys/devices/platform/mt_usb/gadget/lun%d/file" - this can be found in many devices mt6572, mt6589, mt6589T, and other old ones.
Lunfile path 2 (new): "/sys/devices/platform/mt_usb/musb-hdrc.0/gadget/lun%d/file" - this is related to new devices mt6582, mt6592...
Find where is your path and download the image to port from correct section.
Depending of your resolution width, choose an image which contains exactly that value or one close to it, and follow the tutorial to port it.

Usually that means the recovery is bigger than the recovery partition. It happens in some devices with an unusually big kernel (I saw kernels with 4.7 Mb for a recovery at 6 Mb - not much room for ramdisk). Other thing is if you use MobileUncleTools to flash it - this doesn't work in some cases, and you need to flash it with SPFT. Remember, if you have a small partition, any recovery bigger than 5.9 Mb (you need some reserved space) will not work. You can try to shrink some images, or to replace them with blank dummy pngs, but not for stitch and buttons. These have to remain in rgb format, otherwise you have that black screen again, and the phone will reboot to system.

My device's recovery partition got 6MB. Ported recovery got 5.4MB.
I actually used MobileUncleTool to flash, then I tried to flash using SPFT.
Same issue, black screen. Need to reinsert battery to reboot.

Try to access the recovery log from temp directory (cache/recovery/last.log), after that happens. If there is nothing there, than the phone didn't even boot in recovery, otherwise you will see where it's stuck.
I think it actually didn't boot recovery.
Log's showing what I did when I was still on Stock Recovery. (Wipe data/cache)
Even the .prop values are using stock ones. (I changed adb secure, debuggable, etc in the one I ported.)

All my recoveries are compiled on cm-10.1 building environment and in theory they will work better with kernels built for android 4.2 top (in these builds are missing sepolicy files and all selinux related files), but some users report that they used it for flashing and backup lenovo kitkat (vibeUI something) and it was successfull. I can't test that, but my advice is if you have an official Android 4.4 mtk powered phone, I'm sure the recovery partition is bigger than 6Mb, and for that I would recommend you PhilZ recovery if you want to stay on CWM base, or TWRP. I made my recoveries with only one reason in mind: to be small enough to fit a recovery partition of 6Mb.
Thanks for the explanation. What's about Androdi 4.3 compatibility? Like 4.4 ?
Recovery compatibility
Android 4.2.x - OK
Android 4.3.x - ?
Android 4.4.x - ?
Note: personally I like the non touch recovery.
Do you have a link for Philz recovery for Mediatek chipset?
Thanks again.

I think it should work in Android 4.3 but I have no feedback on it. The reason is there are very few mtk devices with Android 4.3 or 4.4 (real not spoofed), and I didn't tested personally any of them.
For PhilZ recovery you can check his official thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 , that support mtk devices nativelly, but you must compile it in cm-11 source,
or the mtk dedicated one started by my friend @yuweng here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748169
The PhilZ recovery require many times a recovery partition bigger than 6MB.
In many acses teh recovery partition is limirted to 6MB.
For this if you can create your recovery from CW11 (compatible with KK) you can sue it.

If a mtk phone gets Kitkat then I assure you the recovery and boot partition will be increased by producer in that firmware along with the new kernel. The 6Mb partition is specific to 4.1.x-4.2.2 devices. For these even my recovery, if it's built in CM11, will oversize 6 Mb because of the new modules.
gzip support
Thanks for this non-touch version! Can you update to include the gzip support as in the latest touch version? Thanks.

CWM Recovery MTK 6.0.3.7 carliv non-touch
Hi all!
I just combined some scripts to have a auto make custum recovery.
It is based on BM / michfood / yuweng / carliv work! Version 2014-06-29. See beginning of this thread.
Thank you!
usage: cwmr.bat stock-recovery.img
MTK6575 and MTK6577 tested. May work with MTK6589... (option 3 -> MTK6577)?
It is a question if fstab is matching. It is complete batch source, so you can adapt to alternate partition tabel.
Have fun!
EDIT:
What I did:
I took "old lunfile path" "normal font" file from carliv first thread, I extracted it and added to some old scripts from yuweng (I cannot find anymore to download). I tested it and made it public to all.
The latest CWM is 6.0.4.4 and Carliv release this update. Should be possible to aplly it?
Well, I am not sure about what I understand. You can use my upload and mod it any way you like. I hope to have helped to get latest CWM Recovery.

I mentioned it in the factory image thread 5 days ago
Mods, can we pin this in the dev section since it contains the links to the needed source code for development purposes. Seems appropriate to have it pinned in this thread. thanks.
I've also got the kernel source going with CAF history included (based on LA.UM.5.7.r1) at https://github.com/jcadduono/android_kernel_razer_msm8998/tree/android-7.1
Fixed a minor bug and added some build scripts to simplify the process of configuring and building.
Added qcacld-3.0 sources into the kernel build for WiFi drivers but I appear to be missing something so it doesn't build. :/
I'm sure someone here can figure that out!
For TWRP support, essentially you'll need to build the stock kernel with additional options like f2fs and exFAT if desired. The OS and TWRP will be sharing the same kernel binaries due to the A/B setup so you *will* need to build the WiFi driver, even for recovery.
If someone is daring enough, they can simply build TWRP normally (ex. for a non-A/B device), flash it to boot_b or boot_a partition (depending what's active), boot up TWRP, and make backups of the opposite A/B partitions.
This can't actually be too hard to do, Dees_Troy has already done most of the work by supporting A/B on Pixel devices already.
I suppose I'm willing to give it a try if anyone is willing to possibly lose the ability to get into the OS until Razer releases factory images.
The chance of that happening is pretty slim, as long as we're only flashing the *active* boot partition (we'll check that in OS using mount command), we should be able to simply grab a copy of the opposite boot partition and restore it to how it was.
YOU CAN simply use fastboot to swap to the other boot partition, restoring your OS to bootable even if TWRP fails to work. (we will test this first to make sure Razer has enabled this option...)
Probably safe, but there's just that risk.
As I'm unsure exactly how to compile the WiFi drivers right now, I'll do this:
Create a normal TWRP image, which you can flash to your *active* boot partition.
Create a TWRP flashable zip that will take the ramdisk from the active boot partition and flash it to the inactive boot partition's boot image, then flash the inactive boot partition's image to your active boot partition.
Result: Both partitions contain the original stock kernel image with TWRP support and a fully working OS.
Slight issue: F2FS won't be supported because the stock kernel will have module signing enabled and TWRP won't be able to load it.
I'm also fairly certain I'll never get decryption working myself for this device...it looks like the vendor partition may be required and it is already encrypted itself? (not encrypted on the Pixel 2 so this is new)
Dees_Troy will be getting his Razer Phone next week. If anyone can get TWRP working it's him. No need to worry ?

If someone is daring enough, they can simply build TWRP normally (ex. for a non-A/B device), flash it to boot_b or boot_a partition (depending what's active), boot up TWRP, and make backups of the opposite A/B partitions.
This can't actually be too hard to do, Dees_Troy has already done most of the work by supporting A/B on Pixel devices already.
I suppose I'm willing to give it a try if anyone is willing to possibly lose the ability to get into the OS until Razer releases factory images.
The chance of that happening is pretty slim, as long as we're only flashing the *active* boot partition (we'll check that in OS using mount command), we should be able to simply grab a copy of the opposite boot partition and restore it to how it was.
YOU CAN simply use fastboot to swap to the other boot partition, restoring your OS to bootable even if TWRP fails to work. (we will test this first to make sure Razer has enabled this option...)
Probably safe, but there's just that risk.
As I'm unsure exactly how to compile the WiFi drivers right now, I'll do this:
Create a normal TWRP image, which you can flash to your *active* boot partition.
Create a TWRP flashable zip that will take the ramdisk from the active boot partition and flash it to the inactive boot partition's boot image, then flash the inactive boot partition's image to your active boot partition.
Result: Both partitions contain the original stock kernel image with TWRP support and a fully working OS.
Slight issue: F2FS won't be supported because the stock kernel will have module signing enabled and TWRP won't be able to load it.
I'm also fairly certain I'll never get decryption working myself for this device...it looks like the vendor partition may be required and it is already encrypted itself? (not encrypted on the Pixel 2 so this is new)

I'm willing to temporarily sacarfic my device for this. I will message you tomorrow morning and we can give it a shot.
We have lift off! @jcadduono you were right :highfive:
Waiting on you for further instructions on how to proceed.
Even if this leads to no where it sure feels damn good to see the twrp logo.
Everything is going well, we're getting copies of each partition and I'm working on making factory restorable images right now.
I am fairly certain I can even support encryption on this device with no issues.
The device itself actually supports hardware Qualcomm full-disk encryption like most non-Google Qualcomm devices so it's nothing new!
However, the Razer Phone supports HW encrypted SDcards like LG does, so TWRP needs support in the actual crypto code used in the project to work with encryptable sdcards. Maybe Dees_Troy will be up to that task when he gets his phone.
TWRP images will be distributed like so:
- A twrp.img file that you flash to your active boot partition
- A zip file that copies the TWRP ramdisk from your active boot partition into your inactive boot partition, then copies your inactive boot partition to your active boot partition
The zip file will effectively install TWRP and the next time you boot TWRP it will be relying on your ROM's kernel instead of the TWRP kernel.

Mad props to you, can't wait to see more! :good: This will be a good Christmas, can I ask whether being carrier or not will matter for installation?

P.s I'll take a pop if you want a second test
thread stuck like Chuck for now, hopefully we can get some dev going for this device.
yeahh !!!!!!! wake up dev teams !!

Welcome to CyanogenMod 11
BUILD #002 is up get it from the OP
CHANGELOG
Camera works now with slow motion & fast motion video recording, picture quality is still **** but is tons better than it was on stock rom.
Rebuilt the system layout and merged most /vendor files and folders to /system
Fixed gallery keeps stopping error even though it wasnt
Cleaned up the GUI scaling to produce cleaner icons etc etc changelog is in /etc for anyone that wants to look
Changed the Live lockscreen wallpaper to something much simpler & better looking.
Converted entire system to single sim & removed Gemini where i could & set props to disable what i couldnt find of it, repathed ril to run through mtk-ril.so also added init.volte.rc, volte_imsm.so/volte_stack.files to help ril call clarity as certain parts of the stack are interacting with ril even though its a GSM Radio
Added getenforce & setenforce to /bin and file_contexts to try and get my init.rc props for setenforce to run the kernel permissively for some extra init processes, BUT setenforce for some reason is receiving permission denied cannot symlink so i hope to have this completed & working in build #003
Added /product/build.prop dir to deal with zram for swap & ext4 /data partitiion under logical boot partitions.
Added new android apple crime screen power off logo
Added some misc ringtones, notification tones and ringtones other than the cyanogen tones.
Nice Work Matty1993!!

Haha yeah one of my old projects ive been meaning to get finished for ages, finding out how to attach android to UBIFS on top of UBI was a pain in the ass lol got to experiment with ril on this one as it was dual sim and tried running gemini through it but as it was a source build dual sim compatibility dosent work so had to depract gemini and set single sim still been working on the tuba build tho taking my time with it as sony really like to mix things up, also finishing a lineage OS 14.1 build for Alcatel Pixi 3.5 that was from source also but dualsim works on this one even though this phones a single sim phone haha go figure lol

What model is your R11 max clone phone it must be HS_Q6_MB_V1.0 board revision or it wont boot on your device and i will need to build one for your revision if so as the kernel will be different,
You can find the board variant by taking the backing off the phone and looking at the sim slot see pic attached,
Check this out first or youll brick it 100% i gaurantee it, google how to take a firmware backup using SP flash tool before doing anything SP flash tool can be downloaded from here aswell as the MTK Vcom drivers for flash tool,
https://spflashtool.com
If your board is different i need the BOOTIMG.file from your SP Tool backup so please do this first before anything or i wont be able to build you anything as i need your stock kernel from boot.img to decompile and make changes for my rom aswell as the boot.img is highly modifed with CM source
Hello,
I can't find a number like that, I looked everywhere.
Here is a full backup of the phone: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15P9KutXb0FrxHRTj4qrQ-KW94XA6J2SI/view?usp=sharing
The kernel is the same though because if I go to settings it shows the same kernel number as the one in this post.
Thanks,
Robby

Hey mate the kernel number may be the same but the config of the kernel will be diff, if it dosent have a number in the sim slot it will deffo not be a HS_Q6_MB you may have the ZMA_12_MB or ZMA_9_MB board
So deffo dont flash any of this stuff if you get me the stock boot.img & recovery img from your R11 max i can build the recoveries and rom for your board revison just upload them here in a .zip file when you get the chance
Thanks

Open sp flash tool & load your scatter file,
Then click on the recovery path and load a recovery into the slot,
MAKE SURE that download only is selected and NOT format all + download this is very very important
Click download with phone switched off plug into pc & recovery will now flash,
Once flash is complete remove then re insert the cord wait for the charging screen to appear,
You can now boot to either recovery by holding the volume up button and power button until the first boot logo appears then release only the power button and keep holding power up to see if they will boot or not,
If they boot all sweet ill upload the rom as its just about finished being built

More or less just to test for device compat is all glad you told me youve got TWRP tho as my rom dosent have mount asserts in the script as they were causing error 7 so ill have to rebuild the meta-inf again as ive got set for perm aswell whereas TWRP uses meta-data to set file permissions

So when do you think the ROM will be ready?
Edit: Oppo Touch Recovery works, I'd rather not bother with CWM if that's ok? And if you could port a TWRP instead of Oppo Touch Recovery I would appreciate that since it is more advanced.

Rom will be ready soon it takes time to convert things to ext4 from ubifs patience is a must for these things unless you want a brick ? Lol plus ive got another 5 projects on the go so lots to do and not enough time to do it all, just finished lineage 14.1 android 7.1.2 for alactel pixi 4027A using a stock kernel on android 4.4.4
as for TWRP probably not due to the size of your recovery and the size of most twrp is about 3mb to short for your partition youll need to use cwm ive added mount points to the script for your data & system partitions so if it dont flash mount in CWM and then flash if it still dosent use the take a log option in my installer and forward it to me so i can see if it was the mounts or what,
Also i havent set meta-data for permissions ive set perm & perm_recursive which is specifically for CWM so please flash with that,
I make no gaurantee it will boot as i dont have one in front of me to work on & debug but everything should work ok though link will be up in roughly half hour max
Links up tell me if it installs and boots ok is based off my cyanogenmod 11 new unreleased build #003 for ubifs
CyanogenMod 11 R10
emmc + ext4
BETA TEST BUILD
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CvP3TPjo5fxXi6tHKI388WFN5KnWTyZ4/view?usp=drivesdk
If it dosent flash remember to get the log from my modified installer
if it dosent boot past first logo tell me it will be fstab issue which ill need to adjust
If it gets stuck on infinite bootanimation tell me ill need to adjust the vold
If any errors just flash back your backup with SP flash tool using download only mode and youll be back up and running with it until i get it fixed if it does need fixing.

So does that mean Oppo Touch Recovery is useless? So I should just put CWM in the recovery and then flash the CyanogenMod11 with CWM If I could get more detailed instructions that would be helpful as you know I am a noob...
Edit: So I flashed it with CWM and it failed, Here is the log: https://pastebin.com/i2F55g08
What I think happens is the first image that says welcome comes up, Then the boot animation comes up but it doesn't finish before returning to the welcome image that was at the start and it stays on that forever.
Edit 2: I also don't know how to restore the backup with SP Flash Tool but that is ok since this isn't my everyday phone so i'll just wait until you fix the ROM.

Hey mate i took a look at the log,
For some reason it didnt symlink any of the system files or set the perms for them
Modified boot.img didnt flash either for some reason so surprised it started playing animation so all my adjustments from ubifs to ext4 must be correct
In the script
Format was ok
Mounting was ok
Extract system files was ok
I think it may have something to do with CWM possibly as thats the only reason its not booting none of the files have correct perms everything else went ok though, so ill see what i can do today about another recovery for you,
The oppo touch recovery is just a stock recovery i added to get rid of the 3e recoveries these phones originally come with, much nicer is all,
To restore your backup using SP flash tool open flash tool, select the scatter box,
Navigate to your backuo folder & double click on the scatter_file.txt,
All of your partitions and files will automatically load up for flash,
Change the download mode to download only
Power off phone click start download
Connect phone & wait for flash
I will just wait for the new Recovery and ROM to work because like I said before this is a device that I didn't use at all but I will probably use it once I get the ROM. Again I just want to thank you for all your help since because of you I don't need to throw out this horrible phone.
